HOSPITAL RECORDS
IN BAD SHAPE.
Owing to Carelessness of
Officials Naval Man Is
Buried in Potter's Field
ENTRIES INCOMPLETE

There is no record at the Central
Emergency Hospital of the removal to
that institution of Rush Correvia
Steele, warrant machinist of the
cruiser Chicago, on Sunday. September
16, yet the police records show that
on that date he was taken to that hos
pital in the Bush-street patrol wagon
by Policeman William Murphy, who
found him sick on the street.
There is no record at the Morgue
of the death of the unfortunate man.
although he died in the City and
ascertained yesterday by United States
Secret Service Agent Richard II. Tay
lor who had been detailed at the re-
quest of the Navy Department to as
certain the fate of the missing man.
The body was buried in the potter's
field, although it was known from
documents found on the decedent's per-
standing in lodge at Washington,
p. c. Steele came here from Seattle
on the steamer City of Puebla on Sep
tember TO- and that was the last heard
from him by his friends. Agent Tay-
lor searched the Morgue records, but
evidently the Morgue officials do not
consider 1t part of their duty to keep
a record of persons buried at the
city's expense The City and County
person of that name had died in or
been received into that institution. The
agent discovered that a Government
warrant for $50 in favor of the miss
ing man had been cashed at the sub
Treasury in New York City on Sep
tember 49, Taylor found that the war
rant had been previously cashed for
Steele by Mrs. James Mackie of the
Martinez Hotel, on the corner of Van
Ness avenue and Geary street, she in
turn transferring it to a furniture
0ealer in payment for bill of goods.
Steele was taken from the Martinez
to the Central Emergency Hospital In
the Bush-street patrol wagon by Po-
liceman William Murphy, and there
treated for alcoholism and discharged,
but no note was made on the hospital
records of that fact. On the following
same hospital by Policeman Frank w.
Smith. and at 2:50 p. m. was trans
ferred TO the. City and County Hos
pital in a comatose condition. where he
died the next day. The Central Emer-
gency Hospital has a record of this oc-
currence, but not of the first. On each
occasion Steele's name and occupation
were made known to the hospital
authorities by the policemen who con-
veyed the man thither.
Owing to the careless manner in
which the records of the City and
County Hospital are kept Agent Taylor
was misled on his first visit to that
Institution, Steele's name having been
found after careful search on the
second visit.
The body will be exhumed and sent
TO relatives in Washington.

STANFORD UNIVERSITY, Oct 81
The Stanford memorial arch is rapidly

az least a portion of the pile. The

to have escaped. injury, and will be USE

The arch was one of the largest in

The most important construction at

repair of Encina Hall. The walls Of
the building at the end of both wings
have been removed down to the foun<

has been condemned. The walls will be

Work on the quad is being rushed to

obliged TO make detours in going from

with which this structure weathered

SAYS CHILD BRIDE
IS A NEGRESS.
Wealthy Oakland Veteran
Claims Mother Tricked
Him Into Miscegenation
KS AID OF COURT

OAKLAND, Oct. 27.-Albert H
Southwick, war veteran and manufac-
turer, has finally become convinced
that the sixteen year-old girl to whom
he was married September s, is ne
gress, and today he filed a suit to have
the marriage annulled. He says his
consent to the ceremony was obtained
through fraud, as the child and her
mother represented that she was the
daughter of a white man and Samoan
woman.
manufacturer. He is sixty-five years
old, veteran of the Civil War and
an officer of the Veteran Reserves.
When the gray-haired old man ap-
peared at the County Clerks Office late
one Saturday afternoon and demanded
a marriage license to marry Azalia o.
Barry. aged sixteen years, 41e made no
intimation that the girls mother. who
gave her consent to the marriage. was
a colored woman. Everything seemed
to be regular and that evening the
Rev. Jesse Smith of the Seaman's Rest
performed the ceremony.
When Mrs. Barry, as she styles her
self, mother of the girl, was seen at
her home at III Castro street she in
timated that she had forced Southwick
to marry the girl to protect the child s
honor. She said that he should never
cross her threshhold again until he
was her daughters husband.
You would never know that child
was colored," said the mother proudly.
Her father is a white man. We are
separated and he is now in the north" "
The mother did not deny that she is a
negress, and her thick lips, fat nose
and complexion seemed convincing
proof of her race. Her complexion is
that of the proverbial ace OF spades
When the story of the marriage IL
eense was printed Southwick hotly de-
MED that he had married a negress.
AT first he said the ceremony had not
been performed but later he admitted
1t had, while insisting that his brides
mother was a native of Samoa. He
would not admit that he had married
colored woman even when his chill
dren by a former wife protested
According to the complaint for an
nuiment of marriage that Attorney J..
l.. Murphey filed today, SouthWick be-
came convinced his bride is a negress
four days after the ceremony, and
having learned from the newspapers
that he had committed an Illegal act,
he Immediately left the girl and has
not lived with her since. He insists
that he did not know she was of Afri-
can blood and descent. He declares
that Azalia committed fraud when she
pretended to be the child OF Joseph w.
Barry, white man, and Victoria Octa-
vie Auvie, native of the Samoan ISL
ands. He now says that both parents
are of the negro or African race and
he is as positive in his assertions as
he was in his denials at the time of the
marriage. The laws of California for
bid the marriage of negroes with
whites and provide for the punishment
of the person who officiates at such
marriages as we'll as for the principals.

MERRY WIVES. =
California Collegians in
Shakespeare's Comedy at
Greek Theater Make Hit
LARGE SUM REALIZED

BERKELEY, Oct. 27.-Shakespeare
in the open air in the Greek Theater
by collegians scored a notable hit to-
night as Shakespeare has before, but
under different auspices. Ben Greet's
professional players have staged the
great plays on the campus and sue
ceeded in drawing crowds and satisfy
ing the critics, official and unofficial.
The students of the university had not
before tonight attempted the feat.
Their production of THE Merry Wives
of Windsor" by night and without pro-
fessionals in the cast was the begin
ming of a tradition. Their success was
instantaneous and almost complete.
Shakespeare's comedy, with its Fall
stan and Dame Quickly and all the
brood OF characters that dance about
those two figures, proved well adapted
Tor playing under the lights of the stars
and the incandescents that glittered
above the massive stage. The broad
humor OF FalstaH suited the big spaces
Of the amphitheater. Fine lines were not
there to be dealt with and the players
reveled in the broad splashes. of COM
edy color they were able to produce.
The theater, full of people. one Of the
greatest crowds ever packed into the
place, found the production interesting
as an innovation, amusing as, a COM
edy and highly diverting as a spec
tacle
The atmosphere of merrie old Eng
land, the England of Prince Hars
time. found reproduction on the stage
by reason of the unusual skill the
players seemed TO have acquired in
their impersonation of the men and
women in The Merry Wives" To
Coach Garnet Holme, the veteran who
has put the college youngsters through
f4rsaa .
much of the credit for this feature of
their success is due. That he had eX-
cellent material to work with is true,
also
The dances by fairies served as a
part of the spectacular element in the
performance. Scores of collegians par
ticipated in this part of the comedy.
The lights were used with excellent
effect to give beauty and unique charm
to the spectacle.
Samuel Hume, one of the univer-
sity's yell leaders, made a most SER
viceable Falstaff His powers as a
comedian were shown when he ap-
peared with Constance Crawley as
Peter Ounce in The Midsummer
Nights Dream" month ago. He has
improved since that occasion and to-
night easily won honors that a pro-
fessiOnal hummer of something like
the first class might be pleased to have
to his credit. Isabel McReynolds, a
college girl who has had much ex
perience in dramatic affairs. was a fine
foil for Hume's humor, and as Madam
Quickly had opportunity a-plenty to
exploit the wit she possesses.
The University Dramatic Associa-
ton realized several thousand dollars
by the performance, and it's officers.
including President Chauncey Wells
expressed themselves as delighted with
the reception accorded the work of the
