OAKLAND, June 6.-Walter ]. Stock
ford. quartermaster sergeant of Com
panty A, Fifth regiment, national
guard of California, who. after being
arrested on a charge of stealing arms
and ammunition from the company
arpory, was discovered to have COM
mitted bigamy, was formelly charged
with the latter crime this Afternoon by
his wife No. 1, Mrs. Luella Stockford,
whose home is in Vallejo. Mrs. Stock
ford came to Oakland today, and, after
a consultation with acting Chief of
Police Petersen, swore to complaint
charging her husband with bigamy
According to the story told by Mrs.
Stockford, her husband has neglected
her for nearly year. While she was
supporting herself and two children,
she declared, Stockford was spending
his time in deceitfufiy wooing Miss
Matilda Janvier, to whom he was mar
ried last Saturday, after telling her
that he had been divorced from his
wife. The latter, although heart
broken over the action of Stockford,
has steadfastly refused to swear to a
complaint against him, declaring that
she has had enough notoriety and that
to send the man who wronged her to
the penitentiary would do her no good
Stockford broke down when in
complaint against him. With all his
bravado gone, he begged his wife to
give him an opportunity to right the
wrong he had done. She refused to
talk to him, however. except to say
goodby, and left the police station. A
few minutes later Miss Janvier called
to see the prisoner. He begged her TO
forgive him and to walt until he had
served his sentence, but the young
woman refused to promise anything
Stockford has already pleaded guilty
to having pawned the revolvers stolen
from the armory and will be sentenced
for this offense on June IL. AS soon
as he has served his sentence he will
be tried on the bigamy charge. 1t has
been learned that, although he is de-
serter from the United States navy, the
federal authorities will take no action
in the matter, the statute of limita-
tions having placed him beyond pun
ishment for that offense.

WHALERs Gain DAMAGES
FROM OWNERS OF ship

In the suit of ]. Bauman and others
against the whaling ship KarIuk,
United States District Judge de Haven
yesterday handed down an opinion
awarding the libelants $3.50 each as
damages for breach of contract
The men shipped in March. 1904, un-
der contract binding them to service
on the Karluk for an Arctic cruise of
not to exceed 36 months. The evidence
showed that the owners of the vessel
did not contemplate that the voyage
would extend more than 20 months and
they therefore provisioned the vessel
for only "a months. The ship was
caught in the ice and locked up for
several months, during which time as
a precaution against starvation the
crew were placed on two-thirds of the
usual rations. On account of this
deprivation of rations the crew sued
for damages in the sum of $500 each.
Judge de Haven found that the MEM
bers of the crew had exaggerated their
sufferings by reason of the rations
having been cut down one-third, but
he also decided that the failure of the
owners to provide sufficient provisions
for the whole time mentioned in the
contract was a breach Of the agree
ment for which libelants should receive
the sum of $50 each as damages.

SAN LEANDRO. June 6.-The town
trustees have adopted resolutions in
opposition to the ERECTION of the Gug-

lion was taken in response to a request
from the ASH Mateo County Home Pro-

ACTING CAUTIOUSLY
SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL

WASHINGTON. June s.-The lawyer
the cabinet and several members of
the interstate commerce commission
viii assemble at the White House to-
morrow for a conference with the presi-
dent that will have a most important
influence on the future policy of the ao-
rnInistration toward the trusts There
may be a decided modification OF the
presidents instructions TO the trust
busting" officials after this conference
A new phase OF the general subJect
developed today in the knowledge that
tiie president wants to amend the
Sherman antitrust law and has been
furnished with copies of proposed
amendments to that statute drawn up
by John r. Dos Passos, the well known
New York corporation and constltu-
tionel lawyer.
II is apparent that a crisis has been
reached in the administrators crusade
against the trusts. There have been
signs Of late that the administration
would proceed with more deliberation
and caution than have been observed In
f3e psst in dealing with unpopular
trusts Evidence that formerly would
have brought immediate action in the
courts has been permitted TO sleep
peacefully in the pigeonholes OF the de-
partment Of justice. The interstate
commerce commissioners appear TO be
up in the air" about the Hartman
case.
These and other straws, together
with the general attitude of the presi-
dents advisers in trust matters, have
created the belief that the administra-
ton viii for a time at least go very
slow. The sensitiveness Of the stock
market and the distrust felt as to the
solidity OF large corporations have had
their effects on the White House The
administration desires to avoid any
thing approaching panic. and will
henceforth think long and carefully be-
fore going into the courts against the
trusts.
At the White House stress was today
laid on the fact that no decision in the
Hartman case is likely to be reached
for some time. The impression con-
Veyed was that II might hang fire foI
months
