CATHOLICS OBSERVE
FEAST OF VIRGIN
Churches of City Celebrate With
Elaborate Ceremony I'M
pOrtant Mass

The feast of the assumption Of the
Virgin Mary. one of the six important
feasts Of the year, was celebrated yes
terday by solemn high mass IN all the
churches of the Catholic diocese. AT
the cathedral altar and shrines We're
massed with glowing pink lilies. Mass
was sung by Father Hannigan, with
Father Sullivan officiating as deacon
Rev. c. e. Kennedy as subdeacon and
Father Ramm as master of ceremonies
The papal benediction was read by
Archbishop Riordan, who occupied the
throne accompanied by DR.. John Ma
guire of the Catholic university, Wash
ington, and Father Ramm.
A three days iridium preceded the
feast, during which services were held
every evening. The mystery regard
ing the feast of the assumption is that
after her death the virgin mother was
buried in a tomb at which were all the
apostles, save one; and that this apostle
returning from a journey asked that
the tomb be opened, which was done,
and found to be empty, save for the
lilies with which 1t was filed The
stained glass window in ST. Mary S
cathedral represents this scene of the
empty tomb, the lily springing from
it and the apostles standing near. The
music was under the direction of the
cathedral organist, r. ]. Harrison.

'BENSON'S BLISSFUL
LOVE DREAM ENDS
Pretty Soubrette Wife, Welded
Over Parental Nays, Flees
to Parts Unknown
Deserted Husband, Widower
After Three Months of Joy,
VainIy Seeks Spouse

The bliss of Clarence p. Benson's
married life has been rudely inter-
rupted. 1t lasted three months-not
weeks That long ago Benson was
Joined in holy wedlock to Mamie Ben
son, his first cousin, despite the pro-
tests of her mother and the law OF
their church, which forbids those so
closely related to marry These OBJ
stacles were easily straddled however,
and Benson, proud with victory, in
stalled his charming young spouse, for
merly soubrette in an eastern comic
opera company, in a coy home at 515
Octavia street
All went we'll until a few days ago.
There was no occasion for Benson to
suspect that his wife was not con-
tented She pledged thousand times
her love for him and repeatedly de-
clared she had found happiness. Then
one night Benson returned home after
work to find the house deserted. AL
ways before his wife had been there
to welcome him with open arms and
a caress. He gave the matter little
thought, presuming she had been de-
tained while shopping.
But the night wore on without her
returning. In passing through their
bedroom he saw a note in her hand
writing. 1t said that she had gone to
VlSlt with friend, Mrs. Wllllam Nlcn-
OILS, at 1120E Golden Gate avenue
Benson hurried to the address, but his
wife had not been there. He has con-
tinued his search for her ever since,
but without avail He is positive that
she has not returned to her mother, al
though he is at a loss to account for
her disappearance.
Benson has communicated with the
police of Los Angeles, where his wife's
mother lives and where she formerly
resided, but the authorities there have
failed to find any trace of her. He yes
terday reported the matter to Chief of
Police Biggy with the hope of locating
his wife through the local authorities.

SUNSET BEACH DEFILED
BY OAKLAND GARBAGE
Residents Complain to Health
Board and Matter Will
Be Taken UD

Oakland's disposal of garbage by
dumping it outside the heads has been
the cause Of many complaints to Mayor
Taylor during. the last week, residents
Of Sunset declaring that the beach is
being Uttered with refuse washed in
on the tide. Oakland business cards
and the trademarks of Oakland mer-
chants on box tops, tin cans, etc, the
complainants aver, show the source of
the nuisance.
Health officer Broderick, at the
mayors suggestion, investigated the
matter and stated yesterday that the
complaints were justified. Broderick
has taken the matter up with the
state health officer.
Similar complaints short time since
led Supervisor Payot to demonstrate
with the Oakland authorities, and
Mayor Mott assured the head of the
supervisors health committee that the
garbage would be dumped a sufficient
distance at sea to prevent any influx.
Mott stated also that the disposal of
garbage at sea was a temporary mat
ter. to be discontinued upon the con-
struction of crematory.

Captain Duke Will Prefer
Charges Against PatrOIman
for Ruffianly Act

Charges will be preferred by Captain
Duke against Policeman NJ. A. Collins
for unofficerlike conduct in brutally
attacking James a. Mckinley, an en-
ploye of the Pacific States telephone
company living at 365 Golden Gate
avenue. Mckinley has made formal
complaint to Captain Duke, who has
submitted the facts to Chief Biggy for
instructions.
McGinley in his complaint says that
he was in the saloon of La Sale and
Soussens, Golden Gate avenue and Lar
kin street, Thursday afternoon playing
cards with five others, when Collins
entered. He called Mckinley an Of
fensive name and struck him on the
head and body with BLACK jack"
until Mckinley begged for mercy. Col
Inns left the saloon, but returned in
about an hour and, placing his leg on
the card table, said to Mckinley: you
1 ought to knock your teeth
down your throat" Then he asked
Mckinley how he felt and McGinley
replied that he felt very sick. IF it
had been any one else" retorted Col
Inns, "he would have killed you. ] have
been waiting for this chance for 10
years"
Collins again walked out of the sa-
loon and in few minutes Policeman
Moran walked in and told Mckinley
that Collins was outside in an ugly
mood. Moran suggested that Mckinley
should slip out by the side door and
go to his room as matter of safety.
Mckinley followed his advice
Mckinley, who is an expert in the
fistic game, said that about nine years
ago during a strike of telephone en-
ployes he and a friend of Collins had a
fight and Collins friend got beaten.
That was the only reason he could
imagine for the unprovoked assault.
Collins did not attempt to arrest Nc
Ginley and sent in a report that Nc
Ginley had been "guying" him about
an arrest he had made early that
morning and he had slapped McGinley's s
face. McGinley's statements are cor
roborated by sthe other five men who
were playing cards with him and by
the saloonmen.
