OAKLAND, June. 25.-Oakland's in

three fair members of San Francisco's
most exclusive smart set to the police
station this afternoon, and ungallantly
charged their chauffeur, dusky youth
named Walter Johnson, with violating
the speed limit near the corner of
Twenty-fourth street and Broadway.
The occupants of the auto were Mrs j.

and another petite matron, who did not
disclose her name but announced most
emphatically that if her husband had
been in the party the arresting officers
would have atoned for the outrage
with their lives.
This is a disgraceful proceeding"
declared the first spokeswoman of the
party as they entered the booking sta
tion, and 1 propose to have it straight
ened out Immediately. Where is the
captain?"
Captain Lynch. who was standing in
the rear part of the office with an
empty revolver in his hand: did not see
his visitor, but his ears assured him
that this was a case in which discretion
would serve much better than valor.
So he moved surreptitiously toward the
rear door. But Desk Sergeant McCIoud
did. not propose to conduct the eonver-
sation single handed.
There he goes, madame" he said,
pointing to the captains retreating
form. Captain Lynch wheeled and
snapped the impotent weapon savagely
in the direction of the sergeant. This
byplay only served to swell the pentup
store of feminine indignation.
Are you the captain?' demanded the
panions to tlfe question by full half
second.
We'll, this is a disgraceful outrage"
finished the third spokeswoman, and
if my husband had been there he would
have shot those policemen. We demand

pose to come back here tomorrow

into the higher court if it is not dis

going six miles an hour"
why did you do it," Captain Lynch
meekly asked Policeman Dolan, who
with officers Flynn and Keefe had made
the arrest
My speed indicator showed 21 miles

mediately wilted away under the storm
of glances which were showered upon
him.

if his mission to see the governor had

clared vehemently.

RICH WOMAN, IN
LOVE, GAMAUTO,
SAYS CHAUFFEUR
Tells Court Mrs. Hattie E.
Burns WOOed Him With
Many Gifts
Woman Denies Statement and
Wins Suit for Return
of $4,000
Ayers Money Only Loaned to
Young Man to Start
Business

Love, loans and an automobile were
the main factors in a suit heard in
Judge Mogan's court yesterday in
which Mrs. Hattie E, Burns, daughter
of the late John R. Whitney, banker
and capitalist of San Jose, was award
ed Judgment for $4,000 against Leland
S. Gould, young and handsome
chauffeur.
Mrs. Burns alleged that she had
lent Gould $4,000 with which to pur-
chase an automobile, and that he had
failed to pay it back. Gould declared
the $4,000 was handed to him as gift
because of her affection for him. Each
side had number of witnesses TO cor
roborate the respective contentious. At
the conclusion of the day Judge Mogan
gave a decision in favor of Mrs Burns.
Gould said he was "a years old. Mrs.
Burns would not state her age when
questioned in court. She appeared TO
be a trihe more than double the age
of the young chauffeur The trouble
had its inception during an automo-
bile ride last June, when Mrs. Burns
in company with others, was driven
around the city by Gould. According
to the latter, while standing near a
restaurant the following day he was
observed by Mrs. Burns, who ap-
preached him in a startling affectionate
manner, calling him by his first name
and generally forgetting the rules OF
convention.
After that" said Gould she asked
me to go to lunch with her From
that time on we went to lunch together
every day for two months. This
lunching, however, took up great deal
of my time and my employer told me
time and again that l had to be more
attentive to my business, When l IN
formed Mrs. Burns that the lunching
would have to cease she said: Don't
worry about that. I'll buy you an autos
MOBILE Later on sheN gave me the
money and 1 bought the car"
Mrs. Burns told a different story.
She said that seeing in Gould an am
bilious young fellow she thought she
would help him out by advancing him
the money with which TO start in bust
ness for himself.
The entire proceedings in court
hinged on the proposition as to whether
Mrs. Burns possessed a doting affection
for the chauffeur She denied it, in
dignantly and emphatically. Gould
in support of his claim produced a tele-
gram from her to him, reading: Am
going east either Wednesday or Thurs
day. Will you join me?"
Il can explain that" said Mrs. Burns.
