DESIRES WEDDING;
NOT FORTUNE.
Beautiful Guatemalan Girl
Causes Arrest Of Rich
Lover for DESERVING Her
TOO PROUD TO MARRY

Senorita Elena Luz Caballeros would
rather have a plain wedding ring, with
what the ring implies, than a purse of
thousands of dollars and handsome
home in the capital city of Guatemala
Angelo Pena, a scion of a rich Guate-
malan house, is the man whom Senorita
Elena would have place the ring on
her finger, and since he has shown a
disinclination to comply with the young
woman's request or, she expressed
the situation, has failed TO keep his
promise to marry her, the woman Sc
cured a warrant yesterday from Police
Judge Cabaniss TO have the young man
arrested under section of the code
which provides that when young men
neglect, under certain circumstances, to
enter into matrimony they may have
the alternative of entering jail.
Senorita Elena asserts that she and
Pena left Guatemala on August 23, and
she believed Ii was the intention of
her companion to make her his wife.
On arriving in this city they took
apartments at the Baltimore Hotel on
Van Ness avenue. the senorita still be-
ing under the impression that she
would be a sonora in fact. But Pena
suddenly raised the point of class dis
tinction, she claims, assuming the
proud position that as he was planter
he could not marry school teacher,
as Senorita Elena was, no matter how
pretty she might be. He offered to
compromise, the girl declares, by buy
ing her a beautiful home in Guatemala
and supplying her with money, which
she refused Then Pena deserted the
Guatemalan girl, she says. He was
arrested yesterday afternoon in the
Arlington Hotel, Oakland.

HUTCHINSON.
SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL

SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL.
SPOKANE, Oct. 1S.-Two men were
arrested today on suspicion that they
are guilty of the murder of Reno
Hutchinson, the Young Mems Christian
Association secretary, who was killed
on a fashionable residence street Mon
day evening. The prisoners are believed
by the police. to be highwaymen. and
are held on the theory that they killed
Hutchinson in an attempted hold-up.
They arrived in Spokane Monday morn
ing and one of them carried an auto
matte pistol of the type which fires
bullets like that found in Hutchinson's
body. The men gave their names as
Frank Dalton and Robert Harner.
The police have been following a
number of clews in support of the be-
lief that the murder was committed by
a former admirer of Mrs Hutchinson,
who is alleged to have made the threat
that Hutchinson would never long sur
viye the marriage. Young Mems Chris
tian Association officials have been
gradually adopting this conviction,
though at the time of the murder they
were unanimously of the opinion that
robbery constituted the sole motive for
the crime.

JAPANESE CONTEST
BOARD 8 PLAN.

The Japanese Imperial Consul K.
Uyeno and the secretary of the Japan
ese Association of America, Goroku
Ikeda, filed protests with the Board of
Education yesterday afternoon against
the segregation Of Japanese children
from those OF white parentage in the
public schools. The objection is made
on the grounds of discrimination that
is unfair and, awaiting the boards de-
cision, the japanese are prepared to
contest the legality of the proceed
ings.
The protest of the japanese was sec
onded by the Rev. Herbert B. john
son, superintendent of the Pacific Jap
anese Mission, and Miss Margaret Lake
of the Women's Home Missionary So
ciety Dr. Johnson said that the Inter
national Missionary Conference has
passed resolutions protesting against
the proposed separations on the grounds
that it is American, unjust, unwise
and un-Christian. He supported the
stand taken by the conference and
urged that the board proceed with eau
tion, so as not to provoke an interna-
tional controversy.
Miss Lake complained of the estab-
lishment of one school in an inacces-
sible part of the ruins. She said that
little Japanese Children born here are
entitled to the same consideration as
that shown the children of other for
eigners and that to make them attend
school from all parts of a large city
was a cruel hardship. She added that
in her walk to the school through the
ruins she did not encounter one wom-
an, and that it was unwise to send un-
protected girls into the unsettled part
of the city. The board tok the entire
matter under advisement
A delegation of property owners and
residents of the Sunnyside district,
headed by J. Barrett, complained to the
board that no steps had been taken
to build a schoolhouSe at Forester
street and Hearst avenue. He was told
that the matter was in the hands of
the Board of Works and the Super
visors. Complaint was made by the
committee of the Board of Supervisors,
who appointed Supervisor Furey to con-
fer with the Board of Education.
A meeting of the public school teach
ers tomorrow morning at 10 o'clock
will be held at Plymouth Church, cor
ner Of Post and Webster streets.

SELLS 4HRoKEN-IN, SHOES.

One clerk who had earned the repu-

the shoe department was asked the Sc
cret of her success. Il sell all the
shoes that have been returned" she
explained. The other girls are afraid
to show them, but I find them the best
sellers. Our firm is liberal in its
treatment of dissatisfied customers, and
we get back a good many pairs of
shoes that have been worn around the
house until they are partly broken in.
These shoes are much more comfort
able than a brand-new pair. the soles
who puts ease above every other con-
sideration does not mind that; conse-
quently I sell shoes while the other

DIGGING COAL UNDER THE SEA.

Up in Cape Breton Island. where
there are a number of collieries, Dig
ging out coal from under the sea, the
submarine area thus undermined now
amounts to about sixteen ordinary
farms of loo acres each. The outer
end of the hole is something over a
mile from the shore. Strange as 1t
may seem, the workings have never
been invaded by sea water, although
fresh water streams have been encoun-
tered flowing out in the strata under
the ocean bed. The thickness of strata
over the mines varies from 500 to 1140
feet. About 5,25o.000 tons of coal have
thus far been taken from these sub
marine workings and there is yet no
Indication of failure Of the beds.-New
