MARRIAGE FOLLOWS
SCHOOL ROMANCE
Secret Wedding of Paul
McClish and Miss Emma
English in Redwood City
COUPLE WE'LL KNOWN
SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL.

SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL.
SAN JOSE. Feb. s.-Paul McClish, the
youngest son of DR.. Eli McClish. who
was formerly president of the Univer-
sity Of the Pacific, and Miss Emma
English were married in Redwood City
on Wednesday. The only person who
knew OF the wedding was Dr. Clarke
McClish of the Agnew Asylum, a
brother of the groom, who accompanied
the couple to the San Mateo town.
The marriage was the outcome of a
school romance Miss English entered
the university of which young Nc
Clishs father was president, and be-
came quite chummy with a sister of
the young man. 1t was not long until
the friendship extended to the brother,
and as he was inclined to give more
attention to matters other than his
studies. he made an impression on the
young lady's affections.
A few months ago DR.. McClish re-
signed the presidency of the university
and went to Los Angeles, but the son
remained behind.
The wedding, while secret, was not
a surprise to those who were familiar
with the facts in the case, as 1t had
been understood for some time that the
two would marry
Young McCHsh has been employed for
several months with the Madsen Fur
niture Company in this city. where he
is one of the most popular clerks. His
bride is well known in musical and
social circles, and has a wide circle of
friends.

PHYSICIAN KILLED.
BY HIS PATIENT
Young Woman Shoots Medi-
cal Adviser Through Head
and Then Commits Suicide
JEALOUSY THE CAUSE

KANSAS CITY, Feb. 9-Dr Everett
Fl. Merwin, a prominent physician and
surgeon of this city, and Miss Maud
Slater. aged 23 patient of the doctor.
were found dead in Merwin's Office in
the Hall building today and all avail
able evidence points to the theory that
the girl shot and killed the physician
and then committed suicide.
Insane jealousy is thought to have
prompted the double crime. Each vic
tim had been shot through the head
pistol was found near the extended
right hand of the girl. The doors of
the Office were locked and neighboring
tenants of the building who heard the
sound of shots in DR.. Merwin's Office
were obliged to force an entrance to
his apartments.
The aged parents OF the girl when
they were apprised of the death OF
their daughter, said that she was a
patient Of Dr. Merwin and that she
had announced before she left home
today that she intended to go to the
doctors office for treatment. They
knew nothing of any other relation
than patient and physician existing
between their daughter and Merwin.
1t is said that DIR. Merwin had ex-
pressed annoyance to some of his
friends because Miss Slater frequently
wrote him letters. telephoned to him
and In other ways thrust her attentions
upon him. He further charged that
through feeling of jealousy Miss
Slater had published an announcement
of his engagement to another young
woman. The announcement was most
embarrassing to DR.. Merwin and the
young woman concerned Both prompt
ly declared 1t to be false and said they
were not responsible for the publica-
tion.
DIR. Merwin who was 3S years old,
was one of the most promising young
physicians in the city. He was treas
iurer of a homeopathic college here
and had an extensive practice. He
studied medicine and surgery in Lon
don and in 1898 became surgeon on
the British steamship Sobo, which
cruised around the South African coast.
Later he served in the same capacity
on the British steamship Cabenda- He
had spent most of his life in this city,
where his parents live.
Friends of Miss Slater say that she
and DR.. Merwin had been sweethearts
for four years and she had confided to
she was employed, that DR.. Merwin had
wronged her. Miss Thomas in a state
ment tonight said that Miss Slater
could not resist a strong influence that
DIR. Merwin exerted over her and that
she would go to his Office whenever he
summoned her. although she would re-
proach herself bitterly for it afterward.
Miss Slater had told her friends that
she and DR.. Merwin had been engaged.
but that he had wronged her and

BULkHEADS SAVED
THE MENOM|NEE

SOUTHAMPTON, Eng. Feb. s-The
Atlantic Transport Line steamer Me-
nominee from Antwerp for Philadelphia
put in here this afternoon badly dam
aged as the result of the collision off
Beach Head last night with the French
steamer, President LIE Roy Lallier. The
plates OF the Meneminee's starboard
bow were torn open to the waters
edge. The water filled her forward
compartment, but the bulkheads held
it from entering other parts of the
ship.
The sea was smooth and there was
no panic aboard the Menominee, which
sent a boat to the French steamer. The
latter was considerably damaged, but
proceeded to Dunkirk.
Eleven flrst-class passengers and
eighteen cattlemen aboard the Menom-
inee were transferred to the ST.
Louis, outbound for New York.
