MAY GET
A PLACE HERE

The presence In this city during the
last two weeks of Howard v. Piatt,
superintendent of the Utah division Of
the Oregon Short Line, has given rise
to several rumors all of which are to
the effect that he is to receive an ap-
pointment from General Manager CAL
vim of the Southern Pacific Company.
Letters received here from. Salt Lake
by local railroad men also say that be-
fore leaving that city Platt intimated
to number of his close friends that
he would probably soon give up his Of
ficfal duties there for more responsible
ones on this coast.
Since his arrival here Platt has been
out on the road a great deal with
General Manager Calvin and was the
latter's guest on recent trip in the
private car Houston down the coast,
and also to Nevada a week ago, when
General Manager Calvin went thither
to personally investigate the freight
traffic congestion on the Carson and
Colorado road. At the railroad build
ing in this city no one seems to know
Just what purposes brought Platt to
this city at this particular time, but the
fact that he has spent the better part
of his stay in the company of Gen.
eral Manager Calvin and has been pay
ing a great deal Of attention to the
operating affairs of the Southern Pa
cif1c, has caused many Of the officials
of the road to strongly suspect that
there is more truth in the rumors con-
corning the Salt Lake mans future
than the local heads Of the company
will admit.
Yesterday there was a report in cir
culation that Platt is to be appointed
to position In the operating depart
ment close up to the general manag-
er, but whether he is to succeed some
one or will fill some newly created
place is matter of speculation. Platt
is regarded as a clever operating de-
partment man and one likely to re-
ceive promotion any time.

LORING CLUB MAINTAINS
ITS HIGH REPUTATION
Again Heard i'm Vocal Gems That Ap-
peal to the Lovers Of
Music,

The Loring Club proved itself
strong enough to draw a crowd of
musical enthusiasts last night to Ma
tive Sons Hall in spite of one of the
heaviest downpours of the season.
And well the large audience was re-
paid for its loyalty to the great musi-
cal organization. Indeed, it were
worth Drawing thousand such storms
If only to hear SO fine and bold and
complete a rendition of Johann
Strauss Wine, Woman and Song as
was given last night by the Lorings.
No less effective was their singing
of Brewers Break, Break and
Leach's The Shepherds Farewell
and DR.. J. G. Humphreys singing of
the bully song, King Charles
The programme fairly teemed with
gems, all grandly rendered under the
direction of w. G. Stadtfeld, with
Frederick Maurer Jr. at the piano
and j. G. Fyfe at the organ. Several
of the numbers had the advantage of
the accompaniment of an orchestra.

THREE ROBBERS
ATTACK DENTIST

Another robbery. the victim of which,
after being deprived OF his money and
watch. was viciously beaten. took
place last night IN an alley next to f411
Mason street DR.. George Bennett, a
dentist who Is here from Sacramento
on visit, was assaulted there by
three highwaymen.
Bennett told his story to the police
At first II was not credited, as he ap-
peared to be under the influence OF
fntoxicants. but later when E. Syl-
vester. who lives at 1411 Mason. told
of having seen three men running
from the alley, and upon investigation
finding Bennett lying on the ground
in semi-conscious condition, the
police concluded 1t was a holdup.
Bennett, who Is stopping at the
visiting some friends in the northern
part of the city. On returning to his
lodgings a man suddenly stepped from
the alley and dealt him a blow on the
head. This man and two others pulled
him in from the street and, after taking
his watch and SIS. they. dealt him
several blows on the head, knocking
him to the ground.
After being discovered by Sylvester,
Benefits head cleared and he made
his way to police headquarters. He
then went to a hospital for treatment
His scalp is lacerated and 1t is feared
that his skull is fractured.

CONTENDS WIFE TRUMPED
UP CHARGE AGAINST HIM
Gustave Ahlstedt Says Spouse Placed
Strychnine I'm Her Coffee to
Injure Him.

ln1ufe Him.
Martha Alice Ahlstedt, who caused
her husband to be taken from their
home at 331 Jessie street on a charge
that he had attempted to kill her by
placing strychnine in her coffee, Is de-
tending herself as best she can against
the charges of cruelty her husband,
Gustave, makes in an action for di-
vorce now on trial before Judge
Trout. Gustave is engaged in an eff
fort to prove that 1t was his wife that
put the strychnine in the coffee for
the purpose of trumping up a charge
against him. Though she firmly de-
MES the allegation, he has succeeded
in establishing the fact that she pur-
chased a bottle of strychnine for some
uncertain purpose and that she had
the same in her possession up to the
11th inst, when she moved away from
the house of trouble to new quarters.
Her husbands charge of cruelty Is
based on this accusation he brands as
false, and on q general statement Of
nagging. She denies. however, that
she treated him cruelty, but says he
treated her so unkindly that her
nerves are shattered and as a result
she is subject to fainting spells. She
is also engaged in an effort to prove
that he has property, which he denies.
and withal the case presents unusual
evidences that the marriage was a
failure from first to last. Judge Trout
will probably decide the case to-day.
DEGREES of divorce were granted
yesterday to Hannah Goldstein from
Marks Goldstein for cruelty. Ruby
May Carberry from David J. Carberry
for extreme cruelty, Charles s. Dick
inson from Edna A. Dickinson for in
temperance, and Della Johnson from
D. Johnson for willful neglect.

Artist Who Takes Arsenic
Declares He Will Employ
Surer Means Next Time
MOURNS WIFE'S DEATH
e. NJ. Rinaldo Loses Ambi-
tion and Desire to Live Aft
er Woman He Loves Dies

"I'll try bullet next time. Poison
is uncertain" That was the declara-
ton of E. NJ. Rinaldo. the artist, who
attempted to end his life yesterday by
taking arsenic.
There is a pitiful tale behind Rinal-
dos determine ton to die. Two months
ago his wife, whom he idolized, passed
away suddenly. Her death killed the
artists ambition. She had been his in
spiration, his all, he said, and when
left.
why should I work rlow?" he NUT
tered as he tossed on his cot at the
Harbor Emergency Hospital "She
used to look over my shoulder and
watch the pictures as I put them on
the canvas. She was my inspiration.
When lost her lost everything. Why
should l paint now?"
Mrs. Rinaldo died about two months
ago. For weeks her husband brooded
alone in his studio near San Rafael.
He tried to work, he says, but his dead
wife's face fitted before him in a mist.
He could not see the green Marin Coun-
ty hills, he could not see the canvas.
He could only see his wife beckoning.
He came to the city yesterday to
drown all his deep trouble in an orgie
with some DrOJner drtlStS. he sought
a restaurant where Bohemians congre-
gate and tried to forget But even
when the merriment was widest. when
strident voices were raised in song, he
could hear his wife's voice calling,
, calling.
He could stand it no longer. He made
up his mind to die, and started toward
the water front. The vision of the sad
face of his wife that was always be-
fore him grew stronger.
Suddenly he remembered that he had
a bottle Of medicine in his pocket that
contained arsenic. He drew it out and
drained it's contents.
A policeman found him lying in a
doorway near the corner of Pacific and
/ Davis streets. An ambulance was
hastily summoned and Rinaldo was
taken to the Harbor Hospital, where
prompt treatment by DR.. Hill soon
placed him out of danger.
But Rinaldo is determined on self
destruction. L will use a pistol next
time" he declared. Il don't expect to
join my wife. I don't believe that
there is hereafter. l just want to die

Rinaldo has two grown children, q
son in Oregon and a daughter, who is
the wife of a prominent lawyer OF
Baltimore. He is a native of Spain and

MONTGOMERYS AEROPLANE
WONDER OF THE AGE.

H E aeroPlane
that Professor
Montgomery of San

invented bids fair to
be a signal triumph
in the problem of
aerial navigation.
The dirigibility of
his winged craft is
perfect. Demonstra-
tons of this point
have been most salts

liar construction of
the sustaining sur
face, motion of the
air is made use of,
and herein lies the
principal point of
success of this aero
plane over all others,
fights of which have
been sorry failures.
Professor Montgom-
cry is carefully
guarding the secrets
of his airship until it
shall be completed
and the protection
of patents assured.
But enough of its
merits are known to
justify the conclu-
sion that he has
