TWICE MARRIED IN
AN HOURS TIME.

ALAMEDA, Oct Married twice in
an hour-once in the nave of the ferry
building in San Francisco and again
at the residence of Mr.. and Mrs. E. III.
Cardall of $40 Walnut street, Alameda,
was the novel and unlocked for expert
ence last evening of c. Albert Jordan
of San Francisco and Miss Carrie Al
thage of st. Louis
The double wedding ceremony was
the practical plan devised by Rev. P.
c. Macfarlane to extricate the bridal
pair from an embarrassing predicament
that resulted when the clergyman dis
covered that the license presented by
the groom was issued in San Fran
cisco and therefore could not be legally
used in any other county.
There was quick caucus OF all con-
cerned The orchestra that was play
ing the wedding march was ordered
to change the number. The wedding
guests were not at first apprised Of
the hitch in the ceremonies and Won
dered while they waited for the COM
ing of the bride and groom. 1t was
suggested by one of the caucus that
an effort be made to locate the County
Clerk or one of his deputies and Sc
cure an Alameda County license.
Rev. Mr.. Macfarlane thought this
procedure would occasion a tedious de-
lay and suggested that the bridal
couple with InelT attendants, anu
Mrs, Frank A. Todhunter, proceed to
San Francisco, have the legal ceremony
celebrated there and return imme-
diately TO Alameda where second and
formal ceremony could be performed.
This was the plan adopted. The
bridal party hurried TO local train
and when the ferry steamer entered
the slip on the San Francisco side the
party went to the nave of the depot.
where the vows were taken that made
1 the two one. The ceremony was per-
I formed so quickly that it attracted
/ no attention. Mr.. and Mrs. Jordan.
with the matron of honor, best man
and Rev Mr.. Macfarlane, caught the
next boat for Alameda.
Upon alighting at the Park street
station, the bridal party was met by
the wedding guests with Chinese and
Japanese lanterns and an Illuminated
parade to the Cardall home took place
That the wedding guests might not be
/ disappointed the marriage ceremony
was gone through at the Cardall home
the ring ceremony, which was omitted
in the ferry building, being included
Then followed congratulations and q
/ feast.
The wedding at the Cardall home
was originally scheduled for 6 In the
| evening. 1t was $3.50 when. the bride
and groom went through the ceremony
1 for the second time.
Jordan is a well-known San Fran.
cisco broker and is a brother of Mrs
Cardall and an uncle of Mrs. Tod
hunter.

the death of his wife has dethroned
the reason of Charles Brown, Sd years
old, who was confined year at the
Mendocino State Hospital and who was

brother-in-law of Laroux who resides
with the family of the injured man in
Alameda. The party was coming north

Would Have Senators Elected BY
People.

The Ohio State Legislature has
adopted a resolution demanding
that United States Senators bc
elected by the people. The reso-
luton, though not formal, asked
Congress to lcgislatc in accordance
with this request. Should two
thirds of the State legislatures
make formal demands, under the
constitution, conventions would
have to be called for the purpose
Of submitting the question OF thus
amending the constitution, but If
the matter is left to the Congress
to call these conventions, which is
also a constitutional provision, IT
is not likely to be done. The con-
stitution provides two ways in
which amendents to it may be St.
cured. The first is for Congress,
by resolution, to submit proposed
amendments to the states for rati-
hcation; and the second is for the
states to demand Of Congress that
a convention be convened to con-
slider the proposed amendments.
This method Of procedure requires
action by the legislatures Of two
thirds of the states.
In dismissing this question, a
Washington correspondent says:
During the past half dozen
years, the legislatures OF probably
majority of the states have gone
on record as favoring the popular
election Of Senators, but a num-
Der OF them, like Ohio, have failed
to make formal demand. There is
considerable doubt as to whether
these scattering demands could be
considered mandatory upon Con-
gress. even if the few more states
necessary to make the two-thirds
should join with them. The lesis-
latures which made the early de-
.ands have passed out of exist
ence, and in a number Of states the
political complexion of the legis-
lative bodies have changed. Many
hold the view that the
demands must all be made within
the same year, or at least be co-eX-
legislatures. If that view
be the correct one, it will require,
of course, a simultaneous campaign
in all the states to bring about the
reform"
