Captain Lander and Wife,
Separated Two Years, Rec
onciled at Transport Dock

When Captain Frank C.. Lander OF the
United States navy arrived in San Fran
cisco yesterday to take the transport Sher-
idan for Manila he was confronted by his
wife, who accused him OF deserting her
more than two years ago In Seattle and
who had filed suit for divorce through
James E. Fenton, her attorney. just about
the time of Landers arrival 1t was that
summons might be served on Captain
Lander that the complaint was fled so
hurriedly, 1T being known that the trans
port would leave at noon
The summons was never served, how
ever Instead there was a hurried recon-
ciliation between the couple on the dock
and instead of pressing her suit for di-
vorce Mrs. Lander will follow her husband
on the transport Buford. which leaves in
about twenty days. and join him IN Lu-

daughter of the famous lightweight pu-
gil1st. She became a trained nurse and
went to Seattle, where she met Lander,
then a lieutenant There was a brief
courtship, and they were married in
March. 1904 Within a week afterward
Lander was on his way TO an Eastern
station From that time Mrs. Lander
never saw nor heard of him untl 'yester-
day. when she met him at the transport
wharf.
Lander came here from Newport News,
his latest station. When his wife met him
and told him she had entered suit for di-
vorce on the grounds of desertion and fall
ure to provide, he seemed surprised and
claimed he had written her. She said she
had never received a letter from him.
Mrs. Lander is now a resident Of this
city.

lips is alleged to have said as he slipped
the beverage prepared by Mr.. Smith.
Il just love cocktails when they are
cocktails" it is averred Mr.. Smith re
sponded, ''but when you're behind the bal
I'll take my booze straight
What do you mean by that?" Mr.. Phil
lips warmly demanded
"Oh, nothing much-and that's what
your cocktails are" Mr.. Smith replied.
They had battled from the cafe to the
street and We're still battling when the
patrolman arrested them, and when pre-
sented to Judge Conlan they displayed
unsightly facial damage.
We were only joshing," said Mr.. Phil
lips.
That was it-just cutting up" eagerly
declared Mr.. Smith.

For hurting Easter eggs at queen OF
song on the stage Of an O'Farrell stree,
music hall last Sunday afternoon John
Korton was reprimanded by Special Po-
liceman Greene, and in the fight that en-
sued both men were battling sturdily
when Patrolmen Isaacs and Kracke ar
rested them for peace disturbance. The
special officer was released when he
proved his off1cialism, and Judge Shortal
will hear the case of Mr.. horton today.
Miss Cecil Wright, residing at the
Eugene apartment house, and Mis-.
Ruth Dumas of 604 Leavenwortt
street were walking along Jones street
near Eddy, when they met Isaac Hy-
man. and with him Miss Wright be-
came involved in an alteration which
resulted In his arrest on her accusa-
tion of battery
Miss Wright told Judge Cabaniss
that Mr.. Hyman pulled Miss Dumas
away from her side and then struck her
(Miss Wright) several times with his
fist on the head.
Now" asked the defendants at
torney, didn't Mr.. Lyman walk up to
Miss Dumas, put his finger up to her
face and say, If you go with tina,
woman you'll have to quit me?"
No was Miss Wright's answer
put his finger up to any ones face or
hear him make any remark whatever
Miss Dumas corroborated Miss
Wright's statement of the alleged as
sault. and added ''After hitting her
with his fist several times he grabbed
me and asked me If l would give ur
that" For some reason Miss Du-
mas left the sentence unfinished.
Mr.. Hyman averred that when he
walked up to Miss Dumas he said to
her. You must either drop this woman
or drop me- whereupon Miss Wright
tried to slap his face, and failing in
that, hurled at him her purse. which
burst open and scattered money on the
pavement. Yes he did shake his
finger in her face-just one shake
however-but did not strike her.
From what has been testified, said
the Judge, Il infer that it's a case OF
love to hatred turned, and all that sort
of thing. and am satisfied that a lib
eral discount must be allowed on the
truth of what has been testified by
either side. The radically conflicting
statements leave my mind in doubt as
to the defendants guilt, and I must
give him the benefit of that doubt. II

WILD STEER MAKES LIVELY
SCENE NEAR OPERA-HOUSE
Bovine From Nevada Becomes Alarmed
and Is Barely Restrained From
Breaking Into Theater.


Breaking Into Theater.
A wild steer just off the plains OF
Nevada passed up Mission street last
evening few minutes before the cur
tain went up for the opening night of
the opera. Whether the automobiles
or the long string of carriages with
flashing lights started the steer is not
known, but when directly in front Of
the Grand Opera-house the animal
made dash for liberty that made more
than one OF the hundreds of spectators
hearts leap with fear Two cowboys
were in charge of the steer and they
had hard time restraining him from
getting on the sidewalk and dashing
for the foyer of the opera-house. One
of the cowboys had a rope around the
steers horns and eventually coaxed the
animal up Fourth street.
It was a peculiar blending OF rural
and metropolitan life. Why the cow
boys brought the steer up the crowded
street on such night was mystery
and a source of annoyance to the po-
lice

MAY BE SCENES OF BLOOD.

These things being true. they are
forerunners of scenes of blood in this
city.
i maintain in the presence of these
facts that Bishop Hamilton's state
ments are not overdrawn, and that we
ought to stand by him in his position
against the vices in this city.
We ought not to join those who are
in league with evildoers, but we ought
to have the courage to stand together
as men and denounce those in league
with vice. Let US back up such senti-
ments against it and throw down the
gauntlet and let lawbreakers under
stand we are determined to act for and
uphold our land.
When the red flag goes up in our
streets it means anarchy. The author
tiles have winked at it too long"
DR.. Filben asked that they do not
swing into line with those who would
be only too ready TO assail Bishop
Hamilton. He contended that what
Bishop Hamilton had said was true,
and as to the conditions of the city he
could not say too much.
DR.. Cleveland was another Of the
speakers who upheld the Bishop. DR..
Hammond held that Bishop Hamilton
was a man full grown. duly ordained
and elected Bishop and had a right to
say what he pleased and was respon-
sible alone to the church. It was voted
TO defer further consideration of the
resolution.

DR.. BOVARD SAYS
ANARCHY R[|CNS
Bishop Hamilton's Recent
Statement About This City
Upheld by an Editor
CITES RED FLAG RIOT
Points to Saloons and
Newspaper Accounts of
Crime as Further Evidence

DR.. F. D. Bovard. editor OF the Chris
tian Advocate. was a stout champion of
Bishop Hamilton. whose alleged state
ments concerning social conditions In
San Francisco have aroused some dis
cussion, at the Methodist preachers
meeting held yesterday at Central
Methodist Episcopal Church
In moving a resolution sustaining the
Bishops reported statement on AN
archy, social vice. the dominancy of
the saloon and gambling resorts in San
Francisco" DR.. Bovard said:
Every word that Bishop Hamilton
is reported to have said can be abund-
antly verified by the actual conditions
prevailing in this city.
Proof of this can be obtained from
the daily press of San Francisco. Does
any one doubt that there is one saloon
for every 100 people in this city?
Does any one doubt that the social
vice is swarming in parts of this city
as indicated by the red lights?
Does any one doubt that there is an
archy in this city?
Were not the concrete facts in evil
dence upon our streets when, two Sun
days ago, behind vulgar and profane
banners condemning the Federal con-
stitution, 500 men marched down Mar
ket street?
rs it not true. as seen by the people
and reported in the press. that red
flag was raised in the presence of this
mob? Is ii not also true that 500 car
penters on Sunday last refused to
march in a procession until the red
flag was taken down?
