PLANNING A

The members of the John Street
M. L. Sunday school are busy day
and night preparing for the Christ
mas cantata Santa Claus Doings,"
which they will give in X. of P. hall
on Christmas night. The cantata is
prepared by Charles H. Gabriel, the
author who has published a number
of former ones that have been pre-
scented by the Sunday school. Among
the principal parts are Uncle Lappy
and his kids. Nanny will sing q
Hush-a-bye. The Sunburst Fairies
promise to take the prize If weather
permits regular practice. The ar
rangement for the fairies this year is
unusually pleasing. The Jolly Sailor
Boys will be al the helm. Grandma
Is expected. The Flower Girls will
make q pretty picture, and the March
Of the Nations will be accompanied
by a short drill and of course Jack
Frost and Santa will not be left out.
Space forbids our enlarging on the
characters to be presented, but great
enthusiasm is being manifested by
young and old and this, will undoubt-
eddy far surpass any former gcantata.
Should the drill be as good as usual.
this alone will be well worth the price
of admission.
Formerly the admission has been
ten cents, but owing to a great raise
in hall rent the committee has found
it absolutely necessary to make the
price of admission this year fifteen
cents.

FIND BURGLARS
BLOOD STAINS
Housebreaker Severely
Cut by Glass of
Windows.
After Ransacking Store
He Goes to Hotel
Washstand.

OAKLAND, June 29.-Interest in the
identity Of the lone burglar who ran
sacked the Pierce Hardware Company's
store at 110S Broadway early yester-
day morning has been stimulated by
the finding of blood stains in the lava
tory of the Westminster House on
Twelfth street, between Franklin and
Webster, shortly after the crime was
committed. The burglar entered the
store by smashing a window in the
rear. Finding that his escape was cut
off on Twelfth street by two patrol
men, he smashed in window in the
rear of Slavich's restaurant on Thir-
teenth street and escaped through the
door. Passing as he did through two
broken windows, he was probably
severely cut by contact with the ragged
window glass.
1t appears that after lodging Police
man Nick Williams at Thirteenth and
Harrison streets the burglar entered
the Westminster House through an
open side door and went to the wash
stand on the second floor. A careful
inquiry was made among the lodgers in
the house, but all were able to give
accounts of their actions during the
course of the robbery. 1t is supposed
by the police that the man was familiar
with the hotel.

IS DISCOVERED
Feidler Said to Have

an Estate.

OAKLAND, June 29.-An additional

County Treasurer A. W. Feidler was
brought to light today in an action
begun to recover $1650.95 from his
bondsmen for money alleged to be due
the estate of the late James w. Mer-
chant of Liyermore. In a statement of
the facts of the case by d. j. Murphy,
who succeeded Feidler as the admin
istrator of the estate. the deceased
never made any settlement with the
estate and is indebted to 1t to the ex-
tent of the amount sued for

MURPHY IS FREE
To MARRY AGAIN
Wife Protests Awarding
of Final Decree to
Herself.
Effort to Head Off Her
Former Spouse Is
in Vain.

OAKLAND, June 29.-Declaring that
her husband turned the hose on her and
drenched her best dress and that he
also encouraged his children to spatter
water on her, Mrs. essie M Sutton has
brought divorce proceedings against
John b. Sutton, whom she charges with
cruelty. She states that his turning
the water on her was but the culmina-
tion of numerous cruelties practiced
upon her She alleges that he swore at
her and struck her with his fist.
They were married. at Santa Cruz just
year ago today and his cruelty to her,
she says, began almost Immediately
after they were married.
Margaretha Meyer began divorce
proceedings against Michael Meyer to-
day on the ground of cruelty. She says.
that on account of his insanely jealous
disposition he was in the habit of
questioning her fidelity because she
had certain business relations with
John Stevenson. She explains that
Meyer was unemployed and that she
undertook to support herself and their
two children, but that her husbands S
actions have been such that she can no
longer do it, wherefore she asks for
the custody of the children and such
other relief as the court deems proper.
A final decree of divorce was granted
Mary j. Murphy today. much against
her will, and Edward F. Murphy, the
defendant to the action, is now free to
marry a second time. When it was
about time for the final decree to be
entered Mrs. Murphy went before
Judge Ellsworth and said that she did
not want a divorce and asked permis
sion to dismiss her action. This she
was allowed to do, the Judge not being
fully informed as to the facts in the
case
When Murphy heard of the dismissal
he made strenuous objection, alleging
that he and his wife had settled their
property rights out of court and that
he had given his wife property in Cold
en- Gate valued at $4,000, besides paying
her $50 month alimony. He also al
legged that the action was not dismiss
ed In good faith. but that it was done
for spite, so that he should not be free
to marry a second time. When Judge
Ellsworth heard the full facts in the
case he made an order setting aside the
dismissal of the action and ordered the
entry of final decree.

DEMANDS HIS SHARE In
A PROFITABLE DEAL
F. A. Stearns Alleges He Was
Frozen Out of a Real
Estate Bargain.

OAKLAND, June 29-Alleging that
he has been frozen out of deal in real
estate after having put money into 1t,
f. A. Stearns has brought suit against
Edward Eccleston, w. F. Detert, w. p.
Frick and the Oakland Bank OF Savings
to recover his share in a transaction
whereby the Sinclair tract in Berkeley
was bought for $4,000, while it's real
value is 5000
Stearns says that he was asked by
Eccleston to go in on the deal by rep
resenting that he had an option upon
the property to buy it for $4,000 in
cash and a mortgage for the balance.
Stearns says he agreed to put up one
fourth the amount necessary and in
order to pay his part of the deposit,
gave Eccleston $3.50. Later, he says
Eccleston tried to return him his
money, stating the deal had fallen
through. This, he states, was not so,
as a few days later a deed was placed
on record from Sinclair to the defend
ants, and Stearns now proposes to have
them divide with him.
