ANNUILED MARRIAGE
is CELEBRATED AGAIN
Lee Gilpin and Mildred Kel-
ly Reaffirm Their Broken
Vows of Youth.

OAKLAND, Aug. "a quiet wedding
tonight at the home of Mrs. Laura E.
Kelly, 58s Twenty-eighth street, marked
the close of romance which began three
years ago, when Miss Mildred Kelly and
Lee Gilpin, the son of the late z. T. Gil
pin, formerly City Treasurer of Oakland,
eloped, and were secretly married in San
Rafael The course of true love did not
run smooth, however, ana on learning of
the secret marriage. the irate parents of
the bride and groom, both of whom were
under the legal age, straightway had the
marriage annulled.
The young lovers remained true to each
other, and on attaining his majority Gil
pin asked the consent of Mrs. Kelly to
his marriage with her daughter. AS the
only objection in the former case had
been on account of the youth of the
couple, Mrs Kelly at once gave her con-
sent and thus the last obstacle was re-
moved.
The ceremony this evening was per-
formed by the Rev. Clifton Macon, rector
of Trinity Episcopal Church. The BRIDE
groom has erected pretty bungalow on
Iatimer street, where the young couple
will make their home on their return
from their honeymoon,

CONGRESSMAN DIXON
ENTERS A DENIAL
Takes the Stand in the Land
Fraud Case in
Montana.

HELENA, Mont, Aug. 9.-In the trial
of r. NJ. Cobban in the United States
court, charged with subornation OF per-
jury in connection with timber land en-
tries, Congressman Joseph NJ. Dixon of
Montana was ~put on the stand to-day
to impeach the testimony of Chauncey
L. .Griswold, chief witness for the Gov
ernment. Griswold has testified in the
trial that before he signed an affidavit
which was given to Special Agent Seeve-
ly of the Interior Department, and on
which the prosecution is based. he had
submitted the affidavit to Dixon and the
latter had advised him TO sign it.
Dixon testified to-day that Griswold
never told him of or showed him the
affidavit. and he had given him no ad-
vice about it. He said Griswold had ask
ed him to take a civil case against Cob
ban and he had declined, as he was about
to attend session Of the Legislature and
could not attend TO the business. This
conversation occurred in December, and
it was the following April when the
affidavit was adopted.
All the evidence in the case was con-
cluded to-day and the defense offered to
put in the record the case of the United
States against Clark, which has been de-
cided against the Government Judge
Hunt took the offer under consideration.
The case will go to the jury on Fri
day.

Special Dispatch to The Call,

SAN JOSE, Aug. s-H. H. Main,
former secretary of the Watsonville
Transportation Company, was arrested
here this afternoon on an indictment re-
turned by the Santa Cruz County Grand
Jury charging him with falsifying the
books of the company. An indictment
was also returned against w. j. Rogers

transportation company.
Sheriff Trafton of Santa Cruz arrived
on the afternoon train and placed Main

George Y Bollinger, John T. Sullivan and
A. H. Robertson as sureties.
Rogers went to San Francisco this aft
erneon, and after taking Main into Gus
tody Sheriff Trafton left at once for that
city to search for Rogers.
Main and Rogers were both before the
Santa Cruz Grand Jury last week and
examined on the matter on which the
indictments are based. The stockholders
of the transportation company alleged
that stock had been juggled on the books
many thousands of dollars.
Main would not discuss the matter fur
ther than to say that an examination in
court would show that all the books were
straight and that no funds were misap-
propriated.
Main was formerly editor and publisher
of the San Jose Herald and later of the
Watsonville Register. Rogers formerly
owned lumber yard here and at one
time was a member of the City Council.

BERKELEY, Aug. 9.--The Board of

night made by real estate men, who
desire the board to refrain from col

who are actually residents of Berkeley,
even though the father of the family
may not be a registered voter in the
town.
1t was declared that scores of prop

on the part of the Board of Education.
Business interests also were declared
to be affected by the boards inSistence

FOOTPAD MASK FOUND BY BOY.
Believed to Have Been Used by Youth
full Murderers of Thomas W. Cook.

OAKLAND, Aug. 9.-Hidden in
tangle of bushes less than fifty feet
from the spot where Thomas w. Cook
was beaten to death two weeks ago, a
black mask such as is commonly worn
by footpads was found yesterday by
eight year old Christopher Eifele, the
son of Christopher Eifele, who lives on
the corner of the old county road and
Fruitvale avenue.
The boy was playing with several
others and in running through the
brush he discovered the mask tangled
in the branches of a bush. The mask
forms one of the strongest links of
evidence so far secured against John
Schneider, who with George Blaker
and Percy Pembroke has been charged
with the murder of Cook, for it was
positively identified to-day by James
Crowhurst, the leader of the gang of
desperate young criminals, as one that
he had given to Schneider few days
before Cook was held up. Crowhurst
was not informed that the mask had
been found near the scene of the
crime, but was simply asked if he had
ever seen the article and he at once
said that he had made the mask and
had afterward given it to Schneider.
When Chris Eifele found the mask,
he took it at once to his father, who
later turned it over to Constable Tom
Carroll, ana IL was py the latter that
the identification was made complete.
The finding of the mask at this time
is most important, as with the testi-
mony of Crowhurst 1t connects Schnei-
der directly with the planning of the
crime, and proves that he went into the
venture prepared to conceal his iden-
tity. The fact that, Crowhurst knew
nothing of where the Disgusting bit
Of cloth had been found indicates that
he was telling the truth when he said
that it was the property Of Schneider.

Miles From the

BERKELEY, Aug. 9-The vigor, nerve
and grit that helped make Roy Service
one Of the most famous athletes that
ever cracked records at the University
of California have inspired him to under
take 2 feat considerably more difficult
and dangerous than any exploit of his
college oays-the feat of christianizing a
part Of the great Chinese empire, which
hitherto has been almost entirely without
The pale of missionary effort.
Service is planning to go as mission
airy to China under the auspices of the
Young Mems Christian Association and
also in connection with the student vol
unteer movement, which latter has en-
listed the services of a number of bril-
liant and notable collegians throughout
America for duty as missionaries in for
eign fields.
The field which Service will enter in
C.iEa lies almost 2000 miles from the sea
coast. I'D one of the Chinese rivers to a
point so remote from the. outside world
as to call for courage and faith on the
Part OF the Christian pioneer who sets
foot in its precincts. Service has the
courage and also the confidence, and will
soon be on his way to the field that he
has taken a contract to evangelize.
In his day at the University of Califor-
MIA Service was crack athlete, swift
runner. who upheld the honor of the uni
versity in many a hard-fought contest
with Stanford and with colleges in the
East. He broke the record in half-miie
dash on the Pacific Coast, his mark of
1:56 still standing for speedy men to aim
at in intercollegiate contests. He was the
crack short distance sprnter selected to
accompany the University of California
team on its famous trip East in 1SoO
when Princeton, Pennsylvania and other
universities competed with the Western
ers. He graduated with the class of 1900.

on the field and cinder path.
