BERKELEY, Jan. 20. - An unex-
pected impetus has been given to the
preparations of the Prytanean Society
for the "Mikado" production by the an
nouncement that Professor Walter E.
Magee of the State University has
consented to assume the part of the
"Mikado" In the comic opera.
Professor Magee is at the head OF
the physical culture department Of the
university, a great fayorite in his
classes and conceded to have one Of
the finest voices among the amateur
singers of the university town. OF
striking presence, experience in stage
business and qualified in other ways
to score a hit in opera, Professor Ma
gees willingness to assist the Pry-
tanean girls in their production has
added immensely to the "co-eds' con-
fidence in their ability to make sue
cess of their stage venture.
The other principal parts in the opera
outs have not progressed sufficiently to
give the coach and the committee In
charge an exact Zine" on the capabili-
ties Of the candidates for places. There
are seventy candidates for places in the
production, twenty of whom are can
didates for principal parts. and the re-
main1er for places in the chorus.
The "Mikado' Is to raise funds for a
university hospital The performance
for this object is to be given at the

YOUNG ELOPERS
ARE ARRESTED
Girl Wife of John Pat
ton of Sacramento Runs
Away With Walter Boone

Oakland Office San francisco Call,
1915 Broadway, Jan. 25.
The police tonight stopped the elope-
ment Of Mrs. Lille Patton, the girl wife
of John Patton, a Sacramento iron
molder, and Walter Boone, motorman
of the capital, who. after an acquain-
tance Of four months with the bride Of
half year, induced her to run away
with him.
The pair were arrested tonight at
Sixteenth-street station while they
were on their way from Sacramento to
San Francisco on an evening train.
Complaint had been made by Mrs. Sa-
rah James, the young wife's mother, to
the authorities at Dixon, where Mrs.
Patton had been visiting. Constable D.
McKinnon telegraphed a warrant for
the arrest Of the runaways and they
will be held until he arrives to take
them back. Mrs. Patton admitted to-
night she was only II years old.
Her home before her marriage to
Patton seven months ago was with her
mother at Broderick, Yolo County.
After her wedding she went to Sacra-
mento. There she became acquainted
with Boone, who is rs years old. Mu-
tual admiration led to frequent meet
ings and the final arrangement for
elopement. The girl left her husband a
few days ago and went to Dixon, os-
tensibly to stay with relatives for a
short time: That trip was only a blind
to deceive her spouse. In correspond
ence with Boone she agreed to meet
him on the evening train out of Sacra-
mento. The plan failed to some extent,
for suspicious were aroused that all
was not right in the girls sudden de-
parture. Mrs. James was hastily sum-
moned and took the steps that led to
the police interference. Mrs Patton
and her companion were indignant over
their arrest and protested at the outset
that it was all a mistake. Later they
told enough to warrant the police in
holding them. The young woman is a
buxom country girl far from unat-
tractive, and apparently deeply in love
with her companion, who appeared to
reciprocate ardently.

IAILS CLIENT

Scavengers' Attorney Makes
a Move to Get Hearing in

Oakland Office San Francisco Call,

Oakland Office San Francisco Call,
1915 Broadway, Jan. %.
After failing to-day to induce Chief
of Police Hodgkins to stop the arresting
of scavengers charged with violating
the garbage collecting laws, Attorney
James H. Greedy, for the scavengers,
caused the arrest of one of his clients
that the legal warfare that is on may
be taken into the Supreme Court at
once. Greedy purposes to consent to
immediate conviction and sentence of
this self sacrificing scavenger, get i'm
mediate hearing in the Superior Court
affirming the police court judgment,
then hasten to the highest tribunal
with an application for a writ Of
habeas corpus on behalf of the impris-
oned man. e~es
On this programme Greedy says he
expects to get decision touching the
validity of the ordinance under which
the arrests are being made. His point
is that the city had no right to grant
the Pacific Incinerating Company its
franchise to collect and destroy the
city's refuse.
The company's attorney, L. s.
Church, was apprised to-day of the
move. and in reply declared that he
would be glad to try conclusions with
Creely before the Supreme Court.
Church said he believed the activity
on the part of the scavengers was due
to the Injunction proceedings that have
been taken by the incinerating COM
pany before the United States Circuit

self. but Lives to Surprise
of Doctors.
CHICAGO, Jan. 25.-The remark
able recovery of Mrs. John Leien-
decker, who. after severing her wind
pipe over a month ago, is now almost
completely restored to health, is caus-
ing astonishment not only among her
friends. but among medical men. A
peculiar feature of the case Is the ap-
parent removal of the disease which
had inspired the woman to take her
own life.
For many months Mrs. Leiendecker,
who is the widow Of the late John
Leiendecker, for many years. promi-
nent In Democratic party councils, had
been Ill with a chronic stomach
trouble, which caused her much suf-
fering. Seeing no prospect of relief
and craZed with pain, she secured a
sharp knife during the absence of her
nurse on December 21 and completely
severed her windpipe.
Within a few seconds after the in
cident the nurse returned to the room
and found the woman lying on the
floor in a condition warranting small
hope of recovery. An instant call
brought a physician, who stitched the
wound with as much care as though
the injury were but slight, and, to the
surprise of the physician, the nurse
and the patient herself, Mrs. Leien-
decker has steadily improved until
now she is able to be up.

There was an important conference
of the pastors of Oakland this after
noon in the parlors of the First Presby-
terian Church, when Rev. r. A. Wal
ton, one of the four evangelists who Is
to conduct meetings here in March,
was present and outlined the plan the
evangelists should follow in their work.
There We're present many clergymen Of
the principal Protestant churches.
The plan of the committees now at
work here was gone over and approved.
The advertising committee was fur
ther instructed as to its duties, being
expected to use billboard posters, ban
ners and see to the distribution OF
thousands of cards of invitation. The
music committee was asked to obtain
from each church a list of ten members
and train them for the choruses.
1t was decided in view of the great
attendance at other cities where the
eyangelists have worked that 1t would
be necessary to heve more meetings on
Sunday evenings than at first planned
and meeting at Golden Gate and at
Twenty-third avenue was added to
the number. This will give ten meet
1ngs on each of the three Sunday
evenings. The need of renting at least
one of the theaters for Sunday after
moons and evenings was discussed and
considered favorably. DR.. Walton, in
an interview, said:
In Denver, where Or. Chapman is
working now with his assistants, there
has been marvellous work done"
DR.. Walton left on the evening train
from Denver for Los Angeles, where
the evangelists will hold meetings last
ing from January q to February 10.
At the close of the meeting of the
general committee there was meeting
of the Central Oakland district. Each
pastor was asked to furnish Rev.
Charles r. Brown, the chairman, four
workers-one to secure singers, one to
select personal workers, one to act on
advertising committee.
Owing to the two principal meetings
being so close together, one in the First
Congregational Church and the other
in the First Presbyterian Church, 1t was
deemed best to say where the workers
and singers from tne churches in the
district were expected to cooperate,
and the following division was made:
For the First Congregational Church,
gelist; First Congregational, First
Christian. First Lutheran. First
Free Baptist. United Presbyte-
rian, Fourth Congregational, United
Brethren. Thirty fourth-street Meth
odist and Golden Gate Methodist
churches. For the First Presbyterian
Church meeting Rev. Henry Ostrum
evangelist; First Presbyterian. First
Baptist, First Methodist, Oak Chapel
Congregational, Methodist Episcopal
South, Alden Presbyterian, Golden Gate
Baptist and Golden Gate Presbyterian.

DEFINITE PROMISE MADE

History of Negotiations
Berkeley Office San Francisco Call.

2148 Center Street, jan 20.
Definite promise to move the obnox-
ious freight yard in the center OF
Berkeleys business section has been
made by the Southern Pacific Railroad
Company and there is rejoicing In
Berkeley. Town Clerk Merrill to-day
received the following letter, signed by
Superintendent w. S. Palmer of the
company:
Dear Sir: Answering your communication
of january IL / beg leave to advise you that
on and after February l, 1905, we Will cease
to handle all freight at our station between
Center street, University, Shattuck anu S'ah-
ford avenues.
The delay in making such arrangements has
been due to our desire to complete our plans IN
for improvement of property at the IN
tersection of Shattuck avenue and Adellne
street before handling all our local freight
traffic at such 2oint.
Regretting the delay in the change, l remain.
w. 8. PALMER, superintendent
The change promised by the railroad
corporation is expected to greatly I'M
prove the appearance OF East Berkeley.
The corporation has utilized the heart
of the town as a freight and passenger
yard for nearly thirty years. When the
town was small the freight yard was
considered a convenience. With growth
came the feeling that a freight yard in
the center of the city was not a thing
of beauty or an attraction of any sort.
Suggestions that the freight business
be done elsewhere were made by civic
bodies and the company consented a
year ago to make the change, though
up to this time the freight business has
continued to be in evidence at Shattuck
avenue and Center street.
The railroad company has proposed
to erect a $25, 900 stone depot on it's
land, but no definite promise has been
given in regard to the time when work
on 1t Is to begin.
