miliarly known in the southern part Of
the State as the Marrying Justice" and
his bride of few days are among tie
latest arrivals at the Palace Hotel. Tie
bridal couple came north Monday and ex-
pect to leave to-day for Portland where
they will visit the Lewis and Clark Ex-
position and later extend their honey
moon trip through the Northwest.
The aged jurist, who is many years
older than his bride, was quietly married
to Miss Nellie May Allie in Los Angeles
last Wednesday and Immediately after
the wedding ceremony the happy couple
started for this city, making stops at
Santa Barbara and San Jose. His mar
riage was a surprise to the majority of
the Judges friends, who were inclined
to believe that he was contented with
marrying others, duty he has per-
formed for years in the south and in
which he made n record.
In the absence of her husband yester-
day Mrs Pierce declined to discuss her
matrimonial affairs as she courteously
remarked with a smile, There is nothing
strange about the affair. We have been
married and that is all there is about 1t.
Eyes, I'm married. said the Judge a
little later, land we are now on our hon.
eymoon We're going to Portland and
will return to Los Angeles when we feel
so disposed And broad smile illumi-
mated his usually stern countenance as
he bade adieu to his interviewer and pro-
ceeded to join the lonely Mrs. Pierce,
who was impatiently awaiting his return.
During his many years experience as
a marrying Justice In Los Angeles Judge
Pierce stubbornly refused to demand of
brides a promise to '"obey' when per-
forming the marriage ceremony. AT his
own wedding last Wednesday. at which
Rev Hugh K. Walker officiated the
pledge was eXacted from his bride, how
ever. before the happy groom realized
that a departure had been made from his
own form of nuptial ceremony. But this
fact has in no way marred the honey
moon of the Judge and his young bride,
as is evidenced in their noticeable con-
tentment.

START PLANS
OF CONVENTION
Fifty-SiXth Annual Christian
.. Missionary Assembly Will.
Be Held in San Francisco

The Christian churches of this city
have begun active preparations for the
entertainment of the ffty-sixth annual
international missionary convention of
the Christian churches of the world,
which will be held in San Francisco on
the days of August 1924, inclusive.
The West Side Christian Church, un-
der the leadership of the pastor, Rev.
Walter NJ White, has taken the fore in
the work of arousing interest in the
coming assemblage among the different
cities of the Pacific Coast. AT a meet
ing of the committee on arrangements
held last night it was decided to hold a
meeting of interested members of
the church in some downtown restaur-
ant during the next two weeks, with
the object of increasing the interest al
ready manifested in San Francisco.
The August convention has been
widely advertised through the East
both by the Christian church papers
and by the California Promotion Com
mittee, which has taken a lively inter-
est in the project. From recent East
ern reports 1t seems that the minimum
attendance will be about ten thousand
people, including many foreign and do
mestic missionaries. From cities of
California whole churches have prom
ised to be represented by full attend
ance of their roll, and they have en-
gagged apartment houses so that they
may be near together during the con-
vention. Vacaville and Napa were the
first churches to send notice that they
would be represented by their full con-
gregations.
The convention will be given over to
a conference on missionary subjects
Speeches will be made by famous mis-
sionaries from all over the world Sepa-
rate days will be given to the three di-
visions of the Christian church mission
aries, the Foreign Christian Missionary
Society, the American Christian Mis-
sionary Society and the Christian Wo-
mans Board of Missions and their aux
iliaries. The committees in charge are
as follows: Publicity, P. c. Mcfarland.
Alameda; pulpit supply, E. w. Darst.
Berkeley: reception and entertainment.
f. S. Ford; finance, A. c. McKeever.

FavOrs While a Prisoner
Special Dispatch to tn. Call.

SACRAMENTO. May 3o-E. ]. Smith,
the defaulting tax collector Of San Frah-
cisco. was placed in the penitentiary
at Folsom tonight, to begin his ten
year sentence. He was given ''receiv-
Ing suit" which bore little resemblance
TO the JaGn-y, tailor-made garb he wore
when ae reached Sacramento at noon, zen
route TO the prison. He stepped out OF
the private compartment in the Overland
Limited, which is made UP exclusively
OF parlor car passengers, and as he
walked along with a small grip IN his
hand. he looked more like a well-to-do
tourist than a convict Even the sheriff s
deputies. who accompanied him, seemed
to be impressed with the idea that they
were the travelling companions Of a dis
tnguished individual, rather than his
keepers. They accompanied him to- the
depot grill, where Smith ate a hearty
luncheon.
A newspaper man approached him and
asked him il he had pleasant journey
from San Francisco. "Oh, yes" replied
Smith. 81 enjoyed my trip to-day, but /
think 1 shall enjoy the return trip more.
Do you know, ! do not realize yet where
am going. but one thing is certain.
when I do reach my destination news
paper reporters will trouble me no more.
Now" added Smith grandly. ''you run
along and leave me alone"
Slnlth continued TO give his directions
for the last meal he will order from a
menu card for a long time.
Smith was obliged to divest himself Of
his fine clothes at the prison for one of
the several receiving suits that are
kept there to accommodate the new
corners until they are duly fitted to
stripes. Tomorrow he will be measured
by the Bertillon system, his hair will be
cropped and he will be accommodated to
a convict suit that meanwhile will be Sc
lected for him.
Warden Yell said tonight that Smith
would be treated in all respects like an
ordinary prisoner. He said there is a
rule at the prison against permitting a
convict to be specially photographed or
otherwise singled out, for treatment not
accorded his fellow prisoners, and that
this rule would be enforced strictly with
respect to Smith.
when a man comes here" said the
Warden, "he loses his former identity.
He becomes a number, that's all. l shall
treat Smith as / treat any ordinary pris-
oner. They are all on an equality here.

a store fostered by the labor unions,
these same unions caused its downfall

LAND OF THE INDIANS.
JUMPED BY WHITES
Native Chief Complains to

Is Filed.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

TACOMA, May 30.-Six hundred stam-
peders from Fairbanks have settled along
the Tenderfoot Little Delta and Big Delta
creeks. The town Of Little Delta has
been established adjoining an Indian vii
lage. The first white corners bargained
with the Indians for their land: the later
arrivals staked what land they wanted.
Some pieces of land have been jumped
and restaked until the Indians found their
best land all taken Chief Jarvis saw his
people were getting the worst Of the bar
gain and went before Judge Wickersham
at Fairbanks. Federal Attorney Harlan
has accordingly filed a suit against the
alleged jumpers.
The natives sold the land to the whites
for any sum offered, from fifty cents to
FIVE dollars, telling the whites to help
themselves. Some of the natives sold their
land over and over, greeting all pur-
chasers with a bland smile.

With joke on his lips Edward j.
Smith the defaulting Tax Collector, was
taken from the County jail yesterday
morning TO begin his journey to Folsom.
where he must serve a ten-year sentence.
In the face of the punishment that the
law has meted out to him the thieving
official was as gay as on the night
when he had the last carouse with Leona
Brooks.
He jested with Chief Jailer Coyle and
as he walked into the street to the hack
with Deputy. Sheriff Thomas Wheelan he
laughed as though all his troubles were
over.
THE prize animal is going to leave
them" he said. He was taken TO Folsom
on a limited train. The defaulting Tax
Collector was not handcuffed, but was
treated with the same extraordinary con-
sideration that was shown him by the
police.
Smith conducted himself throughout as
though he was still the successful poll

he attempted to assume the attitude of
one who had failed in the manipulation
of money that was his own. II feel fine
this morning" he said.
Once a shadow crossed the criminals S
face 1t was when he thought of the
home he had blasted. he held snort
whispered conversation with his friend
f. E. Dunn. To this man it is believed
that he entrusted his last message to
his invalid wife and his child on Fair
Oaks street.
Smith goes to the penitentiary alone,
though Foreman Andrews and other
members of the Grand Jury are certain
that he was only one Of a ring. The
Grand Jury Investigations will be re-
sumed to-day and Andrews declares that
he and his fellow jurors will leave no
stone unturned until Smiths co-conspir-
ators are behind the bars with him.
