THE TRIAL MARRIAGE

You know ours was just trial
marriage" said Marshall Marvin,
in studied, well-controlled voice,
paving the way for the crisis.
Seated opposite him, all a-quiver
with suppressed anxiety, his wife
gazed fixedly at him.
Its all clear to me now. l
married just creature of my
imagination" his eyes riveted on
the CRATE flame as though behold
ing the visionary creature of
which he spoke. Il saw it during
that May afternoon when hying
away to work on my senior thesis,
/ came across you porting over
some book in a shaded nook on
the campus. And those eyes, how
they danced, and your hair
famed by the soft breeze, and
that voice, how angelic as it re-
lated how you had slipped off
from the seminary and hid away
under the trees. That was the
picture, that the voice, those the
eyes that | courted, those that /
asked to be mine. Just thing of
my imagination and and -
you're SO different. We shall part.
Take what you want from the
apartment Goodby."
Lillion Morgan knew her hus-
band too well to offer any protes-

she heard the last echo of her nus

Woman-like, she cried, and in her
sobbing only three words came to

CALHOUN DENIES
ENTERING CONSPIRACY
President of United Railroads De-
CldreS That There Is No Truth
In Report That He Aided
In Causing the
Big Strike.

San Francisco. Cal, Sept. 11.-A
serious riot took place early this
morning at Twenty-fourth and Utah
streets. A number of carmen, while
running a car of the United Rail-
roads into a barn, were attacked.
During the fight five carmen were
wounded, one of them probably ia
tally.
Carmen Were Shot.
The trouble occurred when the
wrecking car of the United Railroads,
on which were about 15 men, was
approaching the car barn corner at
Utah and cath streets. As the car
was passing a tent occupied by un-
ion pickets, stones were thrown at it
and shots fired by some of the car
men but no one was hit
The car continued on its way to
the barn where a crowd assembled.
Three policemen appeared on the
scene and ordered the men not to
shoot. 1t is said that this command
was disregarded, whereupon the po-
lice used their revolvers, five of the
carmen being wounded.
The union pickets occupying the
tent where the disturbance began.
say that they were informed that the
wrecking crew was going to attack
them at about the time the car ap-
preached.
Calhoun Says It's False.
The following statement by Pat
rick Calhoun, president of the United
Railroads, was Issued last night:
THE statement published in an
evening newspaper that / am respop-
slble for the strike of the carmen is.
of course false. The facts are so
well known as scarcely to need re-
iteration; but, in order to prevent
willful and deliberate misrepresenta-
ton from misleading any one, l call
attention TO this single fact:
THE United Railroads made a
positive and unconditional offer to
enter into a contract with the Car
mems union and to pay for the en-
suing year the high rate of wages fix
ed by the arbitration board. This
offer the Garments union declined
and insisted upon its demand of a
SO fiat wage for an eight-hour day.
No Conspiracy.
THE statement made by Isidor ia
cobs to an evening paper that he
knew that l held a secret meeting
with ex-Mayor Schmitz and James II.
Bowling, secretary of the
Garments union, is equally false. Ex-
cept for a disinclination to use ep-
ithets, | sould characterize this state
ment by shorter and stronger word.
THE fact is that / had no meet
ing secret or otherwise, with Mr..
Bowling, either alone or in conjunc-
ton with Mayor Schmitz, either be-
fore the strike or since. 1 have not
even spoken to him during my pres
ent stay in San Francisco.
The animus of the evening organ
of the so-called graft prosecution is
apparent. The cases against the
officials of the United Railroads are
set for trial for next week, and,
therefore, with characteristic men
dacity, this organ seeks now to in
flame public prejudice against us"

New York, Sept. IA statement
attributed 10 Judge Alton b. Parker,
late democratic candidate for presi-
dent, is published in the World to-
day regarding the recent newspaper
exposures of the campaign fund at
the last national election. Judge Par
ker i'm effect says that no fair minded
and intelligent man can doubt the
accuracy Of his charge near the close
Of his campaign in 1904.
He advocates imprisonment as a
punishment for corporation cam

should have performed the service
the newspapers are now attempting
to render.
Toward the close of his campaign
Parker charged the corporations
were putting up big sums to insure
his defeat. When President Ro)se-
welt began the campaign that has un-

Of affairs, Parker gave his unqual!-
fed assent to the presidents work.

Heroine of the BoldeSt
Crimes In Banking
History.

New York. Sept. 11.-Chester B.
Runyan, paying teller of the Wind
Sor Trust Co., who confessed to
stealing 100000 of the company S
funds, was sentenced today by Judge
Whitman in the court of general ses-
sions to serve seven years in Sing
Sing penitentiary.
boldest in the history of the banking
business in this city. one day about
two months ago, he walked out of
the office of the Windsor Trust Co.,
of which he was a trusted teller, re-
marking that he was going out of
town over Sunday Nothing was
thought of his trip at the time, as
he bade goodbye to all his asso-
ciates as usual.
He carried a small suit case and
on Monday morning when the bank
officials went to the vaults, they dis
covered that Runyan had loaded his
suit case with about 100000 of the
banks money.
Remained i'm New York.
Inquiry at his home demonstrated
the fact that he had not spent Sun
day there, and his wife, an invalid,
declared her belief that he had not
left the city.
Later a woman reported to the
police that Runyan was in her rooms
and his arrest Immediately followed.
He had given the woman about $15,-
900 to keep him safe, but he had
become so angry over small affairs
that she feared he was insane and
gave him up She Is also to be tried
for completely in the crime.
Part of Money Restored.
Part of the money which Runyan
stole was restored by the police to
the bank. but the woman in the case
held on to all she got. Runyan says
he gave her $4,000, but she denies
this. About that amount is still miss
ing. however. Runyan denies that he
secreted any of the money. His de-
fense was very weak, there being
practically no eXtenuating circum-
stances.
Wife Gave Up All.
His wife, as soon as she learned of
his peculations, gave up all she had
that belonged in any maner to him,
i'm order to save the bank from so
great a loss.
She Is now residing with relatives
and despite the shock which she suf-
fered when she learned of his en-
bezzlement, she is now regaining her
health.
He Lived Too Fast.
Runyan was i'm the habit, accord
ing to his friends, of playing the
races and otherwise disposing of his
money at a rapid rate. He had taxi
en- small amounts of bank funds at
various times, but always replaced
them before their loss was discover
ed. He thought out the plan to rob
the bank of a large amount, he
claims, just before leaving the last
time. He picked up the suit case
when the idea struck him that he
might as well fill it with cash and
live easy thereafter.

HE PROBABLY ROBBED
RATION POUCH ALSO

Las Vegas, Sept. lin spite of
the fact that every effort has been
made to keep the details of the mail
robbery in Las Vegas from the pub
lie, 1t was learned this morning that
two railroad employees are under sus-
picion and it is expected that their
arrests will follow at any moment.
The men who are thought, by the
detective working on the case, to be
guilty of the robbery are said to be
',boomers," having worked on this
division but a short time.
Under Surveillance.
These men have been under sur
veillance, but up to last night no
positive evidence had been secured
agaist tem.h However, the officers In
the employ of the Santa Fe are con-
vinced that they are correct in their
deductions and are only waiting for
an opportunity to catch one of the
men with some of the stolen letters
in his possession.

day, had nothing to say about the
robbery. He believed the men would
be caught, he said, but would not

larger than at first reported and
when all the letters are accounted

EXPLOSION OF METEOR
SHOOK HOUSES IN
SANTA ROSA
Engines Shaken on Tracks
AS Monster Passed
Over City.
TWO LOUD THUNDER
CLAPS WERE HEARD

Santa Rosa, n. M, Sept. 11.-At
about $3.50 Monday afternoon what
must have been an immense meteor
passed over Santa Rosa in a north
easterly direction.
Shortly after 1t passed, some say
one minute, some two and some ten,
two terrific explosions, followed by a
rumbling noise shook the earth like
an earthquake.
The First National bank building.
and school house and the Mott hotel,
all large stone and brick buildings,
were shaken until their occupants
thought they would fall
Shook Engines.
The engineers of the switch engines
in the yards of the Rock Island said
their engines felt like they were leav-
ing the rails.
At Los Aanos, a station on the
Rock Island. nine miles northeast of
Santa Rosa, the meteor was seen by
many.
The clearest description at that
point was given by Harry Miner and
wife, who were driving in a buggy
a few hundred yards south of the
station.
To them it appeared to pass in
front of them a bright streak imme-
diately followed by a white light and
a milky and smoky appearance in
the sky.
Mr.. Miner says he drove some dis
tance before the two awful explo-
sions occurred.
This would indicate that the me-
teor travelled a number of miles fur
ther before exploding.
Exploded Near Town.
OF the many who witnessed a part
of the flight of the monster meteor
in Santa Rosa perhaps none saw
more Of it than Helen Burnett. She
says: II saw a bright streak in the
sky go from overhead straight to
the east. Then where the streak was
the sky filled with milk. Then it
Numbered awfully, twice"
Workmen about the roundhouse
here spoke of the milky appearances
Of the sky after the meteor passed.
The place where the meteor fell
could not have been narer than 25
miles Of Santa Rosa, and as the jar
of the explosion was like an earth
quake here the meteor must have
been OF stupendous size.
Meteor Seen in Albuquerque.
This meteor Is believed to be the
same one that was seen by a number
of people at and near Albuquerque,
who supposed it fell near the south
eastern end of the Sandia mountains.
The hour is the same and indica-
tions point to the Santa Rosa meteor
as the one in question.
