EDWARD JENNINGS
SUED FOR DIVORCE
Wife Charges That He Openly
Av0wed His Love for An
other Woman
WithhoIds Her Rivals Name,
but Gossip Involves a
Stenographer

Edward 3. Jennings of the firm of
was sued for $500 a month separate
maintenance by Elsie Knox Jennings
yesterday, the complaint charging him
with desertion, cruelty and the open
avowal of his love for woman not
his wife. The name of her rival Mrs.
Jennings did not reveal, referring to
her as woman whose name plaintiff
at this time forbears to mention"
This appears as a hint that the name
may be formally disclosed at a later
date, but it is a matter of knowledge
that it will be that of handsome
nadnock building in the offices of the
mining companies with which Jen-
nings was connected.
1t was in April, 1908, at their home
in Belvedere, Marin county, that Jen-
nings is alleged to have admitted to
his wife his love for the stenographer
Prior to that time, Mrs. Jennings states
she had been informed by various per-
sons at sundry times that Jennings
had been taking the woman to places
of entertainment-trips into the coun-
try, luncheonS, dinners, etc. She asked
him about it, but he always branded
the charges as false and untrue. In
April, however, he admitted to her their
truth and told her he'd had ceased to
entertain any love or affection for her,
and that he was in love with the 9TH
er woman.
Jennings is accused of having begged
and importuned his wife to obtain a
divorce, so that he could enjoy the
society of the stenographer. Unless
she complied with the request Jen-
nings said he would not provide her
with the necessities of life, it is al
legged.
The complaint states that jennings
remained away from home on an aver
age two nights a week. Since April
he is alleged to have refused to speak
to his wife or to have any communi-
cation with her whatsoever. The de-
sertion is stated to have taken place in
April. During the last three months
Jennings is accused of having fre-
quently said that he would never again
| live with his wife, nor in the same
house with her, and that she could "go
to the devil"
Since the desertion Mrs Jennings
says she has been living on the charity
Of the mother of Jennings, Mrs. Re
becca Jennings. her husband having re-
fused to maintain her.
1t is alleged in the complaint that
Jennings owns real estate in San Fran
cisco, Alameda and Marin counties and
an interest in the firm OF Jennings &
Hooper which his wife believes to be in
excess of $4,000. and from which she
believes he draws more than $500 a
month. The home at Belvedere and
the land upon which it stands, worth
about $4,000, Jennings is charged with
having transferred to his mother.
Besides asking for $500 a month
maintenance. Mrs. Jennings requests
the custody of the minor son. Hazelton
B. Jennings. Goodfe1low & Eels and
Walter H Linforth are her attorneys.

CLAUDIANES WANT
REDUCTION OF BAIL
District Attorney Brown Will
Oppose Attempt for Decrease
in Amount

A strong plea for reduction of bail
for John and Peter Claudianes will be
made by Attorneys Coghlan and Scott
in the Alameda superior court on
Wednesday morning. The young Greeks
will appear before Judge Ogden at that
time to be arraigned on a charge of
dynamiting the Schenck and Gallagher
houses, for which alleged crimes they
were indicted by the Alameda county
grand jury last week.
AT the return of the indictments
Judge Melvin fixed bail at $4,000 in
each case. This was the amount set
for Mrs. Isabella J. Martin when she
was held for trial on charges of dyna-
miting the home of Superior Judge
Ogden, but to Coghlan and Scott the
amount appears excessive. They will
accordingly file a motion with Judge
Ogden to substantially reduce the
amount.
District Attorney Brown of Alameda
this line. He regarded $4,000 at a
reasonable figure considering the ma
ture of the offense for which the
brothers must stand trial.
Coghlan and Scott will probably at
tack the validity of the indictments
against John and Peter on the ground
of alleged prejudice on the part OF
members of the grand jury District
Attorney Brown has satisfied himself
that the jurors held no undue antipathy
for the Claudianes and acted fairly on
the evidence submitted.
Peter Claudianes still suffers from a
severe cold and is being treated daily
by the jail physician.

BARGE IS FOUND,
BUT BOYS LOST
Boat in Which Five Lads Left
City Is Found Battered on
Berkeley Shore
Little Doubt Remains as to the
Fate of the Missing
Youngsters

The battered remnant of a $3.50 four
Dared rowing barge picked up yester-
day afternoon on the Berkeley shore
dispened the last hope that the FIVE
boys who left the South End rowing
club in the barge Thursday morning
had escaped with their lives. Captain
Conboy of the harbor police, who was
notified that the boys were missing
Thursday evening, spent all that night
and the greater part of yesterday in
the police patrol launch searching the
shores Of the bay, finding nothing and
learning little that would bring COM
fort 10 the relatives of the missing
boys.
BOYS WHO ARE MISSING
The boys who it is now almost GER
tain lost their lives were Bert Fry, who
lived at Nineteenth and Iowa streets I;
Frank Mcclure, 212 Illinois street;
owen Healy, 2 Michigan street; Robert
Haslett 329 Mississippi street, and
Parker Ashford, SCI Mississippi street.
They were all in humble circumstances
and sheir ages ranged from 16 10 is
years.
The boys were not members of the
club. One of them, Robert Haslett, is
a cousin of J. Lundy, vice captain of
the club and the member responsible
for the safe keeping of the clubs prop
erty. Lundy gave Haslett the key of
the boathouse Thursday morning and
asked him TO see that everything was
all right Receiving no report from
his cousin, Lundy visited the clubhouse
Thursday evening and learned that
Haslett had invited four friends to join
him in a row on the bay The boys
had taken the new barge from its rack
and from the lockers of five members
each boy had provided himself with a
swimming suit. They left their clothes
in a neap on the boathouse floor.
BOAT SHIPS WATER
Haslett has a relative at the Yerba
Buena training station and the boys
paid him a visit They remained at
Goat island until after l o'clock When
they started for home there was a
strong ebb tide running, heavy swell
and a chOppy sea They We're last seen
shortly after o'clock off Harrison
street wharf about a mile out The boat
was shipping a good deal of water, but
the boys were rowing easily and ap-
parently in no distress. Several launches
passed within hailing distance, but as
40 help was asked none was offered.
About 2:30 Captain Stohl of the ferry
steamer Piedmont sighted a long light
skin partly submerged drifting toward
the Berkeley shore, and yesterday
afternoon the boat itself was picked
up. OF the boys not a trace has been
found.

THE FALL or MANILA

Exactly ten years ago today the affairs of government in the Philip pine Islands passed into the hands pf the United States, and the Stars and Stripes were set ahoat to the breeze from the walls of Manila, the ancient capital which for hum dreds of years had endured the treachery, the chicanery, the COW. ardly cruelty of the powers of Els pana The fact of it being just decade since our flag WAS set to stay in that iar-away land reminds this writer oi the events of the dates immediately following the 18th of August. 1898.
 The story of the Maine has been too oft told to be of interest in this connection, but few of the readers oi this page know the details of the exploitation of Manila, and we shall try to recite them as we saw them enacted:
 After 6 glorious voyage of thirty four days from the Golden Gate, the transport ships Australia, City of Sydney and City of Peking, con- yoyed from Honolulu by the U. s. cruiser Charleston (since wrecked) moved into the Bay of Manila on the afternoon of June 30, and came 10 anchor with Dewey's triumphant armada, in full view of the wrecked and sunken Spanish men-o'-war that told the story Of the conflict of two months previous. On board the Australia were Gen. Thos. An derson,-apd staff who, after ex- changing courtesies with the officers of the warship fleet, ordered that the troops should arrange to dis embark early the next morning.
 On the first day Of July the three troop ships discharged their human cargoes, who relieved the tired ma ripes who had, with the help of Aguinaldo's soldiers, held Cavite against attacking detaohments Of Spanish troops ever since the evac- ustion of that place, which occurred simultaneously with the destruc- ton of the Spanish feet. The sol diers aboard the transports were two battalions of the 14th U. s. Regulars, the 2nd Oregon and 1st California Volunteers, together with hospital, signal and engineer corps men. Quarters, were assigned in the old Spanish barracks, and the men soon settled down to the dull routine of barracks life, awaiting the arrival of more troops.
 The barracks were not the sort of habitations 10 call forth flatter- ing remarks from the more fastidi- GUS, being dark, damp. unsanitary, and infested with small lizards, which. once in awhile would fall from the ceiling into the faces Of the sleeping men. But such things soon passed unnoticed.
 July was given over 10 drill and guard duty, which were very much needed by the volunteer troops, many of whom had not drilled be- fore the day of muster-in. But with an hour each in the morning and evening, the first of August found all the troops able to perform the military evolutions with the precision of old soldiers. The heat of midday forbade heavy duty, and 3rill over, there was nothing much to do, for those whu had rot caught guard" butto iIle around the quarters or amHse themselves dealing with native irait vendors.
 This humdrum life caused the time to pass slowly, and there was
