GIRL USES SHOTGUN
TO END HER LIFE
Bares Body and Sends a Heavy
Charge Tearing Into
Her Heart
Victim Is Miss Julia Crowley OF
Mayfield, Grieving Over
Sisters Marriage
SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL

MAYFIELD, March 9.-Choosing a
shotgun as the weapon with which to
end her life, Miss Julia Crowley,
daughter of Jeremiah Crowley, who for
Is years was manager of the Stanford
stock farm, blew a hole in her left
side Sunday morning, and when her
father and mother rushed to her at
the sound of the shot the young
woman was dead.
The tragedy occurred at the Crow
ley home, short distance out Of May
field. a few minutes after the family
had returned from early morning
mass. While her parents We're en-
gagged in the front yard the girl ex-
ecuted the deed she had evidently
planned on the ride home. Without
stopping to remove her hat or gloves
she balanced the gun on two chairs. at
tached a string to both triggers, barred
her body and leaning against the muZ-
zle discharged both barrels. The charge
tore through her side and into her
heart and death was instantaneous.
The inquest was held yesterday aft
ernoon by Coroner j. B. Kali of San
Jose. Crowley testified that his daugh-
ter had brooded deeply over her sepa-
ration from a younger sister, whose
marriage TO Charles Steacy of Palo Alto
occurred three months ago. A verdict
in Iccordance with this testimony was
returned by the jury.
Miss Crowley was one of the best
known young women of the section
surrounding her home. To her friends
her action is unexplainable, as she was
known as jovial companion. Her
separation from her sister, with whom
she had been very close since childhood,
is believed to have affected her mind.

WIFE SUES BROOKE M.
WRIGHT FOR DIVORCE
IdIeness and Dissipation Are
Charged Against Husband
by Society Woman

Idleness and dissipation are the
charges laid at the door of Brooke NJ
Wright, prominent citizen and business
man, by his wife, Alice NJ. B. Wright of
2409 Octavia street in a divorce suit
filed yesterday in the superior court.
The wife made every effort to have the
scandal of divorce kept from the notice
Of the public, and had the papers in the
action, which were filed by her attor-
ney, Chickering Thornton, kept sealed
and secret
Failure to provide is the formal
charge upon which the prayer for di-
vorce is made. That failure to contrib
ute to the proper maintenance of the
wife is explained by the allegations of
idleness and profigacy which are
enumerated in the complaint.
Mrs. Wright is a relative of promi-
nent teacher in this city and her social
connections are of the highest. The
home in the fashionable neighborhood
of Octavia and Washington streets has
ever been a popular and hospitable
dwelling
The couple have two children. Will
liam Beale Wright, aged years and 6
months, and Selden Steuart Wright,
aged 3 years. The mother desires the
custody Of the offspring.
At the Wright home last night it
was with the utmost reluctance that
the fact that divorce proceedings had
been started was admitted. When a
relative of Mrs. Wright, who responded
TO the inquiries, was asked why the
suit had been started, she answered
tersely:
1T is none of the publics business"

FIND PRISONER IS
Willy BANK CROOK
Police Uncover Criminal Record
of Man Trying to Hide
Under Alias
Young Woman Companion OF
SwindIer Disappears and
Battles Search

The man who had been held at the
charge of swindling three banks of
posit was identified yesterday as Ed
ward E. Grimmell, clever confidence
man and crook with two terms in
prison to his record.
Detective Sergeant Ed Gibson noted
the resemblance of the man in custody
to Grimmell, and when questioned the
prisoner admitted that Smith was an
assumed name.
All efforts TO locate the young woman
companion of Grimmell have so far
proved unavailing. From Grimmell 1t
was learned that her name was Miss
Jessie Wood and under that name she
was known at the banks Grimmell vic
timized, but the police say that is not
her real name. She is believed to be a
morphine iend. and detectives last
night made a round of all Barbary
coast dives in the hope of finding her.
The womans love for diamonds,
which Grimmell spent his money In
satisfying, was the Immediate cause of
his downfall.
While employed as a clerk in the
medical department of the UHited
States army Grimmell was arrested for
forgery and sentenced by Judge de
Haven of the federal court to serve
eight years in San Quentin. Prior to
that according to Detective Sergeant
Gibson, he served a year in an Ohio
prison. He was released from San
Quentin in 1905.
Grimmell is said to have brother
prominent in local railroad circles.

ARMY VETERAN TROGDEN
SCATTERS ANARCHISTS
Intrepid Old Soldier Breaks Up
Gathering at Post and

C. NJ. Trogden, the intrepid army
veteran who has already broken up
several anarchist gatherings and who
arrested two traducers of the flag at
the point of a revolver and marched
them to the city prison, came to the
front again last night and disrupted
another anarchist meeting at Post and
Fillmore streets.
Carl Brown, who was arrested Sun
day for melting a disturbance in JEFF
ferson square, was haranguing a crowd
of men when Trogden came up. He
pushed himself through the crowd till
he stood directly in front of the
speaker. Then he began to ask ques-
tions in volleys. The crowd jeered, but
Trogden tapped his pocket Significant
ly and showed Brown and his follow
ers the butt OF a big army pistol. That
was enough. The whole meeting ad-
5ourned sine die on the instant. In

SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CAL


STOCKTON, March 9.-To promote
the construction of an electric line from
Lodi to Modesto a special committee
has been appointed by business inter
ests of Stockton to investigate condi-
tions and prospects, interview electric
companies and perform all other duties
necessary.
1t is proposed to urge the construc-
tion of interurban lines from the north
ern to the southern extremities of San

of the Central California traction COM
pany connects Stockton and Lodi, and
1t is the purpose of promoters to have

teca property owners have a project
well under way, wherein the smaller
towns to the south will have direct
communications by electric line with
Stockton. This proposition is so far
along that rights of way are agreed
upon and property owners are waiting
to sign deeds granting the amount of
land desired. without consideration
other than bond that the road will be

AS PEOPLE HANDLE PAPERS
So They Will Act in Everything
That They Do

II know of no surer signboard OF
character than the way in which q
man or woman handles newspaper
said an old bachelor. The person who
hits the newspaper with the hand in
opening the pages has the emphatic OF
Rooseveltian nature.
You may depend upon it that such
a person will not hesitate to express
an opinion, whether you like 1t or not
If man handles his newspaper in this
way he will do you in a trade. If a
woman does it she will rule you il you
marry her.
The person who shifts and turns
the pages of a newspaper repeatedly
first one way and then another, is un-
stable. The man will never succeed In
business, the woman will be shiftless
in her home.
''You have seen, If you have noticed
as l have, people who never keep the
pages of the paper intact. They get
the pages mixed or allow a page to
drop out. A man who handles his
paper In this way has no system in his
business. A woman who does II will
drag her petticoat or wear her hosiery
wrong side out, and If she becomes q
mother her children will have dirty
faces and unkempt hair.
"A man who reads one newspaper
while he holds on to two or three more
when he is in room where there are
others is a hog That is very ugly
appellation. It Is the plain, blunt
synonym for selfishness.
II have known some very nice and
clever people to litter up a room with
newspapers as fast as they read them
Such habit indicates a type of char
ity that begins at home disposition
coupled with a don't care disposition
AS much as to say: I'm through with
it; what's the difference?-
THE person who looks at the adver-
tisements first, unless in searching for
a job or servant, Is practical, rather
commercial, and sentimental when II
suits his or her purpose.
The man who rumples his paper
and rams it into his pocket when he Is
leaving a streetcar is not only disor-
derby but the act indicates that he is
sort OF grabber; anything to get 1t
and keep it.
And a man who throws his news
paper on the floor of car when he
has finished reading 1t would not hesi-
tate to spit on your rug and bump into
you In the street without making an
apology."-New York Sun.

MUST TREAT ALL ALIKE

versed the finding of the lower court,
which ordered Truman Reeves, state
treasurer. to acknowledge as preferred
claims against the Pacific State life as
surance company the claim of George
Engwicht and the intervening claim OF
]. H T. Watkinson. When the com
pany became insolvcnt its only asset
was a $4,000 trust fund in the keeping
of the state treasurer. Both Engwicht
and Watkinson attached this fund and
were given judgment as preferred
creditors. the former for 1896 and the
latter SS4s. The court ordered the
treasurer of the state to pay this money
to a receiver, who should in turn pay
IL to the plaintiffs. The supreme court
held that the fund should be ratably

PINNACLES ARE MADE
NATIONAL MONUMENT
Jagged Formation Of the Rocks
Is of Much Scientific
Interest

WASHINGTON. Jan. 27.-The presi-
dent has just signed a proclamation
making a national monument of the
jagged peaks known as the "Pinnacles,' .
situated in the western part OF San
Benito county, California. The area
of the monument is about 1850 acres
This natural wonder is nine miles due
east from the Southern Pacific station
at Soledad, and is reached by two
roads. The jagged formation OF the
rocks is of much scientific interest
The Pinnacles are located within the
Pinnacles national forest. which has an
area of 14,10S acres. The movement to
give the peaks permanent protection
and preserve them for their scientific
interest was started in 1904 by ]. G.
Needham and other influential Califor-
mans. The creation of the Pinnacles
national monument is the final outcome
of this movement. In this way the
peaks will be protected IN every wa,
from unsightly exploitation,
