SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL.

PARIS. Jan. 13.-The World CORE
spondent is informed authoritatively
that preparations are being made for
divorce proceedings in the English
courts which will leave a beautiful
English Countess free to marry her adj
mirer, widower, who draws a ire
mendous income from real estate IN
New York. The Countess, whose hus-
band takes for his title the name of a
north of England county, is in London
just now. Her beauty is more con-
spicuous because, wearing furs worth
fortune, she rides about in a mag
nifcent landaulet. She met her adorer
and benefactor in this city just before
Christmas, and he gave her this Ian
daulet and several other costly Christ
mas presents.
The American Croesus. who has lived
in England for years and owns a splen-
did and historic mansion there. $ trav-
cling in Southern Italy and Sicily,
awaiting the beginning of the divorce
proceedings, which will create a tre-
mendous sensation in America, England
to arrange that the suit shall not be
defended and so to hurry Ii through the
divorce court and to minimize its pub
licity.
According to one report here the
Countess will bring the suit against
the Earl on the ground of infidelity and
cruelty, but then it would be necessary
to induce him not to bring counter
charges against her. The truth is that
the Kings proctor might intervene 70
prove the Countess no better than her
husband and thereby render divorce
impossible on either side

WINTER KING PAYS
VISIT To CITY
Snow Caps Twin Peaks and
Light Flurries ON Streets
Reported by Pedestrians
MERCURY GOES DOWN

With snow Gaping Twin Peaks and
light iurries reported on the streets by
early pedestrians. the city received
realistic touch of winter yesterday
morning. The mercury took plunge
and haiIstorms prevailed throughout
the day at intervals. The cold weather
experienced here is general along the
coast towns.
Tamalpais was covered with heaVy
mantle OF snow all day In places the
drifts were eight and ten inches deep.
The Berkeley hills and the ranges OF
Alameda County were covered and snow
fell in the towns. The snow furry was
felt to a considerable extent in San
Mateo County and further down the
peninsula Palo Alto was covered BY a
thin mantle of white early in the morn
ing and a heavier fall in the hills back
of the campus of Stanford University
gave rise 10 much sport for the col
legians of that institution.
The thermometer registered as low
as 81 degrees yesterday and the ex-
perts OF the Weather Bureau expected
snow The bureau did not have any
record of snowfall within the city yes
terday. which indicates that the furry
was intensely local and probably was
only noticed in outlying portions OF the
city II is predicted that the weather
will remain cold, with possibility OF
snow.

POPE HAS TRIBUTE
FOR AMERICA

ROME. Jan 1s-Pope Plus today re-
ceived the students OF the American
College in Rome. They were present.
ed by Monsignor Kennedy. rector of
the college. who said the American
students were more numerous than
those OF any other nationality here.
Pope Plus spoke TO them about France,
saying:
In the war that is being waged be-
tween the clergy and hell the express
sions OF unity and sympathy from
Catholics throughout the world are
the greatest consolation America es-
pecially has distinguished herself In
this way.
Indeed. America is a great credit to

fiict against the church"
ROME, Jan. l3.-Unoficial advances
made in an endeavor TO ascertain Italy's
attitude concerning a representative
Of the Vatican at the coming peace
conference at The Hague have found
no encouragement Although the re-
lations between Italy and the church
are now the best the Italian Govern
ment does not think IL will abandon
the principle established In 1899 when
the papacy was excluded from the first
conference. Besides this. there is now
another ountry-F'rance-tha would
strongly object to papal representa-
tive.

HIS PREMIER

ST. PETERSBURG, Jan. 13.-Premier
Stolypin and Minister OF Justice
Chtcheglovitoff have been appointed
members of the Council OF the Empire.
They will retain their present posi-
tions.
An imperial rescript addressed to
Stolypin expresses the hope that the
Ministry will be at its post after the
convocation of the new Parliament
1t refers to the Premier's difficult task
OF restoring public order and praises
his energetic action, which effected a
distinct Improvement, despite fool
hardy efforts and continual crimes by
revolutionaries."
The Emperor then refers to bills
which his Majesty considered so alb
solutely necessary that they were put
into force before the meeting of Par
Lament.
Emperor Nicholas thanks Premier
Stolypin and the members of his Min
istry for their services, and says that
only in the cooperation of the new
legislative bodies with the Government
can he see a guarantee for law and
order and the strengthening OF the
force Of the state in accordance with
the necessities of the new life to which
Russia is called.

AIMS HOT SHOT At
GENERAL LAUCk
Captain Stindt Says Poll
tics Caused Disruption
of the First Regiment
FIGHT GROWS BITTER

SACRAMENTO, Jan. 13.-Adjutant
General Lauek tonight announced that
Governor Gf1left had accepted the res
ignafiens of the following officers of
the First Infantry Regiment. National
Guard of California; Colonel Walter ~.
Kelly, Major John F.. Esgert; Captain
John r.. DUFFY; Captain Thomas w. Co.'S
telio, eommissary; Rev. Joseph p. Nc
Quaid, chaplain, and Second Lieuten-
ant Arthur III. Clifford. The resigna-
tions of these officers followed the dis
bandment OF two companies, and II.
by Adjutanf General Lauck n few days
ago.
The reason that this blow has been
struck at the First Regiment of In
fantry is a piece of politics on the part
of General Lauck to the adjutant gem
eral, TO get even with Colonel Kelly,
the best colonel the regiment ever mad,
because he is honest, energetic and
was outspoken enough TO tell the ad-
jutant general what he thought of him
in Sacramento short time ago"
This was the expression OF Captain
Herman G. Stindt of Company f at
headquarters, corner OF Buchanan and
Waller streets, at noon yesterday
1T is" he added, "a shame that the
entire regiment should be made to suf-
fer because of a few incompetent OFF,
GERS. Why, sir" continued the cap
tain, In a most emphatic manner, when
L was at, Fresno at the meeting of the
guard officers I saw General Lauck
and asked him the question, point
blank, If any of the companies of the
First We're TO be mustered out before
the next annual muster and inspection,
and his reply was that there would not
be any mastering out in the regiment
Then, in the latter part of December,
there was issued the order for the
annual muster and inspection, and Com
panies and II, the ones that have
been mustered out, were ordered to
appear before the inspecting officer in
March. Now, what do you think Of
that? Four gays after the order for
inspection was issued came the one
mastering out of the two companies.
Then" the captain went on to say,
there is a desire on the part of Gen
eral Roster, who is tall and dignifed-
looking man, and makes a fne-looking
soldier, TO wipe out the First Infantry,
create a provisional regiment of ar
tiIlery and make Major Keesling. a
man who does not even know how TO
properly draw his sword. lieutenant

Those who have not resigned from
the First are: Lieutenant Colonel Nc
Creagh, Major Mathewson, Captain

the part of those who have refused to

SCHOOL FUNDS To
Be PROTECTED

Following the example OF the Chi
cagO Federation of School Teachers,
the executive committee Of the local
federation has been instructed 10 IN
vestigats eveK source Of income OF the
School Department and TO see that
every cent due from these sources Is
paid in the proper time.
As a result OF this investigation IN
less proper remuneration is paid by the
city 70 the School Board for the pro-
posed lease Of the site OF the Poly
technic school building, intended TO be
used as a City Hall, an Injunction viii
be got out by the committee and the

school law all school property must
either be rented to advantage or else
utilized for educational purposes. and
any or all trustees failing 70 do either
g. named ia the charter q derelict in
his or their duties.
According 10 a report filed by the
committee last week, no evidence that
the city intended to pay rent for the
site mentioned had been discovered and
the committee was instructed, unless
some such evidence should develop, to
file an Injunction suit and prevent the
deal
The matter Of the payment OF that
portion Of the teachers salaries held
back by the Board OF Education during
the month Of September still hangs in
the balance and the School Board now
promises to pay up on February l.
Auditor Sam Horton, in accordance
with that section OF the Civil Code
which provides for the protection OF
the teachers salaries, still refuses to
turn over any part Of the fund for any
purpose other than the payment Of
salaries. and as the remainder Of the
school fund has been exhausted large
number OF bills for supplies and other
expenses remain unaudited
