He registered under the name of B.
h. Webster, gave his residence as the
Preside and then unfolded to the clerk
at the Occidental a story of his pro-
posed marriage to a Los Angeles belle.
He wanted the best suite of rooms in
the hostelry, and having carefully in
Spected them the stranger informed the
clerk that his fiancee and her mother
would arrive the following morning on
the Owl from the south The prospec-
tive groom arranged for having the
bridal apartments decorated with flow
ers. leased the hotel parlors for the
nuptial ceremony, engaged a carriage
to meet his future wife and her mother
at the depot on their arrival from Los
Angeles and finally completed the
preparations for his marriage by going
10 a telephone and engaging we'll
known clergyman to perform the cere-
mony in the Occidental Hotel parlors
at IL o'clock yesterday morning
When yesterday morning came Man
ager Hooper and a force of employees
carefully arranged and decorated the
bridal apartments and cleared the big
parlor for the wedding. Shortly before
the arrival of the Owl train carriage
was dispatched to the depot. Manager
arrived in advance of the expected
couple, sat themselves down in one of
the coy corners of the hotel and quiet
ly discussed ecclesiastical matters Half
an hour later rhe carriage driver re-
turned to the Occidental and calling
Manager Hooper aside poured into his
ear a story that made the usually
smiling boniface angrily gnaw his low
er lip.
When the driver reached the railroad
depot he found several other hackmen
there on a similar mission. Their Sto-
ries tailed with that of the man from
the Occidental. Certainly there was a
possibility that several brides might be
coming from the south Building their
faith on that prospect the jehus had
patiently awaited the arrival of the
train. But no brides came, and the
drivers returned with their vehicles to
their respective hotels.
Later in the day there was a lively
conference between several hotel man
ayers over the phone, and they learned
that they had all been fooled by a
stranger The same individual had gone
to the Grand Hotel, where he repre-
sented himself as Henry Allen of Mar
tinez and made elaborate arrangements
for his approaching marriage. AS Will
liam Allen he had engaged rooms, flow
ers and hacks at the Russ House, and
had later played a similar trick upon
the unsuspecting clerk at the Lick. The
California Hotel also fell happily into
the matrimonial scheme of the stranger
and was able to boast last night of
having as many wilted flowers on hand
as the Occidental, Grand, Lick or Russ.
The disappointed hotel managers
agreed that they were the dupes of
some fellow whose mind is deranged
on the subject of matrimony.

The fruit and vegetable Gamers Of
California formed an organization yes
terday afternoon and the Gamers
League of California is in existence.
After the preliminary meeting of
Thursday, the special committee ap-
pointed to prepare plan and bylaws
took the plan that is in vogue in New
York State and adopted it in all it's
essential provisions.
No power was conferred upon the
executive board of the new body to fix
prices or in any way to interfere with
the individual management of any
canning concern. 1t is provided that
the league shall foster the interest Of
the canned goods industry of Cali
fornia; that it shall stand against un-
just exaCtions; shall reform abuses in
trade, and promote more friendly in
tercourse among packers, look after
legislation and generally act in its col
lective capacity for the benefit of the
entire fruit and vegetable canning in
dustry of California.
The report of the plan was submit
TED to the Gamers yesterday afternoon
in the rooms of the Chamber of Com
merce by Major C. L. Tilden, who
made some explanatory remarks He
what good could be derived by the can
ners from organization, and also how
far the organization might extend it's
agency. The general conclusion, was
that the first thing to do.Was to come
together. The plan that the committee
had prepared gave every man engaged
in the business the same rights as
members of the league. To each con-
Germ or individual engaged in canning
was given but one vote.
The organization plan included the
election of a president, two vice presi-
dents, secretary, treasurer and an
executive committee of five members
to act as a board of directors. This
committee was authorized, when it was
not feasible to call meeting of the
league, to take vote on any question
of pressing Importance and to act in
accordance with the wishes of the ma
jority of the league.
Among the provisions was one MAX

ARTHUR PIPER
NOW IN JAIL
Spends Day in Custody and
Court Refuses Release on
Writ of Habeas Corpus
SLOSS' ORDER STANDS
Shipping Man Must Stay in
Prison Until He Pays the
Back Alimony Due Wife

In accordance with Judge Sloss' or
der of Thursday Arthur Leroy Piper
Of the shipping firm of Piper, Alden,
Goodall & Co. was taken into custody
at his home, 1921 Jackson street, by
Deputy Sheriff McManus and escorted
to the County Jail. His arrest resulted
from disobedience of the courts or
der for him to pay $625 back alimony
to his wife. Mary Ellen Piper He took
his incarceration lightly and based his
expectation for a quick release upon
habeas corpus proceedings promised
by his attorneys, but in this he was
doomed to disappointment.
The application for the writ was pre-
pared and presented to Presiding Judge
LaWior, who, on account of hearing the
arguments in the Wyman case, had not
the time to give the matter his atten-
ton. Attorney Lande began a search
Tor some Superior Judge with time to
spare, and was disappointed in sue

ham and Murasky. A few min

brought to. Judge Trout. Mr.. Piper

hand to offer opposition. Mr.. Lande
read Judge Sloss' commitment to Judge
Trout and expressed his opinion that
1t was worthless because there was no
express finding Of the court that Piper
was able to pay the money; second,
that there was nothing to show that
the order to show cause, which was
first heard on September 30 last, had
been continued in force, and, third, that
the commitment was fatally defective
in committing a man to Jail until an
order is complied with" because 1t is
practically a perpetual Imprisonment
for the nOn-payment OF money, which
is against the law.
Judge Trout quickly disposed of the
matter by declaring that Judge Sloss
doubtless knew what he was doing
when he signed the commitment, and
he Judge Troutt) did not care to in
terfere with the order of a brother
Judge. Therefore the writ was denied
and Piper was remanded to the custody
of the Sheriff. He was taken back to
the County Jail.
Judge Hebbard yesterday denied the
motion for alimony in the case of An
ME M. Davidson, who is suing James
made a showing that he had decided
property to his wife and children and
had spent his own money in improv-
ing it.
The afternoon yesterday in Judge
Troutt's court was devoted to a hear
ing of the motion of William A. Mat
