JAMES Y. COLEMAN
IS A BENEDICT.

1t is doubtful If any like event in
San Francisco society gould provoke
heartier congratulation than will be
showered upon James V Coleman and
his bride. who was Miss Minnie H
Hennessey. when they return from their
honeymooning. For certain it is that
no other couple possess greater popu-
larity in San Francisco.
News of the wedding, which quietly
took place yesterday at Santa Cruz
will come as surprise to all except
a few intimate friends of the contract
ing parties While it was known that
friendship existed between the mil
lionaire clubman and the bright and
pretty girl, few suspected that their
mutual feeling had attained the degree
of tenderness that usually results in
matrimony And now when the major
ity think over the union they will
wonder why they did not qualify them
selves to truthfully say Il told you So
1t was an unostentatious affair In
the Holy Cross Catholic Church the
ceremony was performed by the Rev.
P. ]. Hennessey of Capitola. Mrs Mar
garet Deane gave away the bride, who
is an orphan,~and Miss Adeline Pollack
served as bridesmaid. while Thomas
Mulqueen stood with the groom. The
bride wore a street gown of heavy
blue silk and the groom a business suit
of blue serge. After the ceremony the
party was driven to the Sea Beach
Hotel, where Mr.. and Mrs. Coleman will
remain for a time.
There are few men In California bet
ter or more favorably known than
James V. Coleman. In finance. politics
and social life he has made an envia
BILE reputation. A lifelong Democrat,
he has always been at the forefront of
that party's important battles. He has
served as chief sachem of the Iroquois
Club and other honors have been be-
slowed upon him by his copartisans.
His mining interests are extensive But
he never permitted either business or
politics to deprive him of the spirit of
good fellowship that has made him so
popular as clubman.
Although the bride was never bur-
dened with worldly wealth. her natural
brightness and beauty have won for her
place in society that many maidens OF

Now the prominence of Mr.. Bradley
in the world of electric transmission of
words makes it unlikely that he would
accept any position that is not rated
high. Indeed it would not be prepoS-
ferrous to presume that no place less
lofty than that filed by Mr. Scott
would induce him to cross the CONT
nent.
But in order to establish Mr.. Bradley
in the presidency it would be neces-
sary to create a vacancy in that Office.
as the company bylaws limits the
number of its presidents to one. Mr.
Scott. therefore, would have to step out
ere Mr.. Bradley could step in.
Mr. Scott has not publicly declared
intention to resign his Craftsmanship of
the P. S. T. T. c. directory. and such a
step on his part would certainly give
rise to varied conjecture, because of his
recent requirement of the Office 1t
will be remembered that he resigned
from the directorate of the new Home
Telephone Company to assume SINH
lar position in its long established RI
val; also that his shift of base was
cause of much comment. not AL of
kind complimentary.
If circumstances which he cannot
control do compel Mr.. Scott to ring off
his connection with the P. s. T. T. c.,
no person will be easily convinced that
his ability as promoter has been as

utterance while the late duello for

his retirement is desired, much less
that it is demanded, by the p. s. T. T.

sion were to the effect that rather than
relinquish the field to the opposition
he would string Seattle's streets so
thickly with overheard wires that the
