CAPITALISTS WIFE
DENIES CHARGES

OAKLAND, Jan. 1s.-The demurrer
of Levi T. Darden. prominent Eureka
capitalist, TO the divorce complaint of
his second wife. Myra A. Darden, who
accuses him of extreme cruelty, was
overruled by Judge Waste today and he
was granted ten days to answer. Mrs.
Darden claims that while she and her
husband were living in a fashionable
boarding house in Eureka he wrongly
accused her of visiting another mans
room.
In her complaint she states that she
was further humiliated and mentally
panied by his charges that she was un-
duly friendly with a Eureka grocer
Another allegation or the complaint is
that when the plaintiff and the defend
ant were spending a few months at
Hayward he caused her much anguish
Of mind by declaring that she came
into Oakland-rso often merely to see
some of her male friends from Eureka.
Mrs. Darden says her husbands Jeal-
ousy was intolerable.
This is Darden's second experience
in the divorce courts. His first wife.
Mrs. May v. Darden, secured divorce
from him in Eureka several years ago
on the ground of extreme cruelty. She
now resides at Stewart street and Ma
noa avenue, in Berkeley, with their
daughter, Miss Della Darden, who is
student at the University of California
and a prominent sorority girl.
The present Mrs. Darden is scarcely
half the age of her husband. She was
a teacher of stenography in Eureka
business college when Darden began
to pay her attention after his first wife
had secured her final decree. She mar
ried him in March, 1905.
Darden accumulateG a fortune in the
furniture business in Eureka, from
which he retired about year ago. He
owns some of the most valuable bust
ness property in Eureka, as well as
valuable realty in the town of Hay
ward.
The plaintiff asks for 500 month
alimony and $1,000 counsel fees. She
also wishes the court to permit her
to resume her maiden name of Myra
A Smith.

year comic initiation of the candidates

through numerous stunts" beginning
in the morning when they appeared in
classes, clad in bath robes and womens
garments, trundling wheeIbarrows and
the like. The climax to the fun came
at noon, when the candidates were
brought together on the university
postoffice steps and before their shout
ing friends put through the high So
ciety antics of tea party.

this evening in San Jose, when after
many more hours of rough treatment

riage of California petroleum between
the fields in Kern and Fresno counties
and San Francisco by rail has been en-

SUES FOR B|GDEN's
BANK DEPOSIT

OAKLAND, Jan. 1S.-Mae F. Teach
out brought suit today against the
Union National Bank of Oakland to
secure possession of $1231.55 on deposit
with the bank to the credit of the
late f. E. Bigden. The plaintiff bases
her suit upon an order delivered to her
on November 10, 1906, by the deceased
directing the Union National Bank to
pay to Mrs. F. E. Bigden" all of the
money standing in his name on the
bank books. The defendant has re-
fused to pay over the money to the
plaintiff without an order of court that

her first officer is John McGoldick and
her second officer Is Charles Elledge.
The Navigator cost $4,000. She can
make thirteen knots mean average and
sixteen knots under forced draught.
At present she uses coal, but she is
to be changed into an oil burner.
Many questions were asked yester-
day on the front for the reason that
the steamer towed the tug from the
East. The reason is that it saved the
owners exactly $4,000 by this means Of
procedure.
The Navigator was one of the best
known tugs on the Atlantic coast For
two years she was the committee boat
of the New York Yacht Club in the in
ternational races. She was also brought
into prominence in her life-saving ex-
ploit in August, 1903, when her crew
rescued nine men and two women from
the schooner Henry P. Mason, which
was wrecked off Long Beach.
She is painted crimson, with two
white smokestacks topped with black.
The new arrivals attracted much at
tention as they steamed up the bay.
With these additions the Associated
Oil Company has seven vessels on the
coast for use in the oil-carrying trade.
