[LOPFRS IN FEAR
OF |RATF PARENT
Former Fireman Wins Heiress
and Father in Law Threatens
Dire Punishment

BERKELEY, Oct 2S.-Fearful of the
wrath of his father in law on account
of his elopement and marriage last
night with attractive 1S year old Annie
Marie Paine, an heiress in her own
right and daughter of E. G. Paine, an
architect of San Francisco, Warren
Howe, 19 years old, has taken refuge
behind barred doors at the home of his
mother, Mrs. E. A. L. Howe, 1885 Henry
street, North Berkeley. He refused adj
mittance today to the family of his
bride. Paine has threatened that he
will shoot Howe on sight, according
to the youths statements, and Howe
has a letter in his possession purport-
ing to be a threat against his life made
by Paine Sr. year ago.
The elopement Of the young couple
had been foiled a number of times
by the irate father. who declared that
he did not desire Howe for son in law.
Paine Sr is said to have written the
following note, dated September 20 of
last year:
/ want you to understand once and for all
time to come that il you try TO see my daughter
and your life viii pay the forfeit FL xiii you
Ike a dog, on sight. Sir, remain. her
father, E. G. PAINE.
Cupid received a setback for a while,
but Howe's courage finally revived and
he persisted in his suit. Miss Paine
was then sent east by her parents for
short time hoping the change would
make her forget her Berkeley lover.
On her return the family moved to
Twenty sixth avenue in East Oakland
The attentions of the ardent fireman
continued, however, while the wrath of
Paine and the other members of the
family increased.
Miss Paine was closely guarded as
she had not reached her majority. But
distance was bridged by letters. and
Uncle Sam played the part of Cupid
Discovery of these letters caused an
other family quarrel and for several
days Howe was in hiding while Paine
and his son. Howard, searched for him
The elopement last night was care
fully planned. The couple met in East
Oakland and came to this city in the
afternoon, but the marriage was de-
layed for several hours, because the
witnesses necessary were late.
Jesse Grain and Fred Browne, for
mer fellow firemen of the bridegroom in
the North Berkeley fire company, were
pressed into service and were the only
attendants. The ceremony was per-
formed by Rev. Lapsley A. McAfee
pastor of the First Presbyterian church
Mr.. and Mrs. Howe went Immediately
to the North Berkeley home of the
groom's mother Today an attempt was
made by Paine and his son, Howard. to
gain an entrance into the dwelling
but Howe stood guard and declared
that they could not enter. There is
considerable talk on both sides OF
bringing the police into the matter
Mrs. Howe is an heiress in her own
name. having recently been the bene-
ficiary under a will drawn by an uncle
in the east. The estate was valued al
several hundred thousand dollars, Mrs
Howe's share being $4,000. Her hus-
band now conducts a cleaning estab-
lishment in Shattuck avenue.

ARRANGEMENT is ADVANTAGEOUS

AhhaNUEMENT Is ADVANTAGEOUS
The arrangement is said to be mu-
tually advantageous. IT has been made
at time when the Pacific gas and
electric is unable to supply the grow
ing demand for power, and the Great
Western is just placing itself in the
field as distributor. The Great West
ern has not yet completed any of its
power stations. but in a few weeks it
will have reached the stage with it's
Big Bend plant where it can place a
vast product on the market. 1t has
not yet completed it's transmission
lines, and will be able to connect with
the cables of the Pacific gas and cleo
trio.
development of it's water rights on the
Feather river it was generally under
stood that the plant was part of the
Western Pacific enterprise, and to be
the mountains. Edwin Hawley was re-
garded as the connecting link, as he
served in the double capacity of presi-
dent of the Great Western and mem
Der of the executive committee of the
board of directors of the Western Pa
cific. 1t is announced that the Great
Western will eventually put forth 420,-
900 horsepower. The first unit of it's
plant at Big Bend will be in readiness
at the end of the year and will have
a capacity of $4,000 horsepower.
The Great Western has already signed
a number of contracts, under which it
is obliged to deliver power early In
the coming year. These contracts will
be handled under the terms of the
agreement through the Pacific gas and
electric. How long this arrangement
is to continue has not been divulged.
All parties to the understanding are
reticent, but 1t is believed that the life
of the agreement is for limited period.
At the end of that time the alliance
may be either broken entirely or. what
is said to be more likely. 1t will be
strengthened into practically merger.
PACIFIC is PARENT CONCERN
The Pacific gas and electric is the
parent corporation of 80 concerns, in
GLIDING the California gas and electric
and the San Francisco gas and electric,
otherwise known as the local gas trust
The Pacific operates in 20 counties in
the state. supplies current to IL electric

trolls all the business about the bay

ness in the north. Owing to it's inability
to meet the excessive requirements II

chase power from the Northern Cali

Great Western and Pacific Gas
: and Electric to Work in
Harmony
Local Concern Will Handle Con-
tracts Made by Feather
River Plant

An agreement of vast Importance to
the industrial life of California has
been reached by the Great Western
power company and the Pacific gas and
electric company by which, for the
present at least, they will work in har-
mony. The agreement comes upon the
heels of. understanding reached a
few months ago in regard to the power
situa ton in the Sacramento valley, but
is of much wider scope. AS understood
by those familiar with the affairs Of
both corporations IL provides for the
purchase by the Pacific gas and electric
for given period of the power product
of the Great Western.
These two concerns are the largest
of their kind in California. which
means that they are among the most
extensive in the world. Not only is
the power used for lighting cities and
operating electric railroads, but it is
used by factories from the northern
part of the state as far south as Santa
Cruz. While the agreement is in no
sense a merger, it provides for the
Joint marketing of their product.
The Great Western is a $4,000, 900
corporation, headed by Edwin Hawley,
and generally supposed to be identi-
fed with the Gould interests The Pa
cific gas and electric is $4,000, 900
enterprise, and is the holding company
of the enterprises of Frank Drum, Eu-
gene de Saba and John Martin.
The arrangement is said to have
been made during conference in the
east at which Drum and John A. Brit
ton, manager of the Pacific gas and
electric, negotiated with II. P. Wilson,
secretary of the Great Western Wilson
