GUN, SAYS WOMAN
Lurid Tale of Strenuous Court
ship Related to Police
Judge by Girl
Wife Asserts She Was Forced
to Marry Under Threat of
Instant Death

Mrs. May Jackson, 955 Howard street.
who says she is not yet 18 years old,
told a lurid tale to Police Judge Shor-
tall yesterday when she swore to
complaint charging her husband,
James A. Jackson, tailor employed
at the st. Francis hotel, with threat
ening to kill her. The Judge felt dis
inclined to issue the warrant, as he
was led to believe from her evasive
replies to some of his questions that
she was not telling the truth.
She said her parents live in Cleve-
land. O.. and about three months ago
her father gave her money to go to
Seattle to visit friends. After visiting
them she came here about six weeks
ago and obtained employment as a
waitress in a restaurant at Seventh
and Market streets and had a room
in the San Rafael house, above the
restaurant. She met Jackson in a
nickelodeon January 2. The follow
ing day she was taken i'll and went to
st. Luke's hospital but was dis
charged January f.
Jackson, she said, was at the hos
pital when she was discharged and he
put a revolver to her head and told
her he would kill her If she did not
marry him at once. Being afraid Of
her life she married him after he had
procured the license. He gave her age
as over 49, They were married by a
justice of the peace, but she did not
know his name. They lived In her room
above the restaurant till last Monday.
when she left him, as he again threat
ened to kill her. Since then she has
been living with Mrs. Sorensen at 955
Howard street.
jackson was arrested yesterday af-
ternoon and released on 500 cash bail.
Justice of the Peace Flood, who mar
ried the Jacksons, says that jackson
is very decent fellow. Jackson denied
emphatically that he compelled his wife
to marry him. He never he said,
threatened to kill her, and she left him
of her own accord. He asked the police
to find her. He insinuated that his
young wife was too fond of the com

STAGE DRIVERS BRAVERY

Especial Dispatch TO The Call

Especial Dispdtch TO The Call
BOULDER CREEK, Jan. 16.-Facing
death in a wildly careening stage
drawn down a steep hill by four racing
horses to what looked like death in
the torrential waters of a swollen
mountain stream. Hiram Rollins,
stage driver on the Boulder Creek and
Santa Cruz stage line, stuck bravely
to his post yesterday and by his nerve
and daring saved himself and passen-
gers.
The stage was making It's regular
trip and had reached a point on the
road near FELTON,, where there is a long
down hill grade, at the bottom Of
which a large wooden cuIvert carries
the waters of a rivulet that in sum-
mer goes dry. In some manner the
culvert became stopped up and as
Rollins came racing down the hill he
was horrified by the sight of a 15 foot
gully filled with surging, tossing water.
Too late to stop, Rollins piled the
lash andI with reckless bravery drove
straight for the water. Just as the
leaders reached the brink of the chasm
the big wooden culvert rose to the sur
face and was held there by the swirling
waters long enough for the stage and
Its frightened occupants to pass over
to safety on the opposite side.

PRICE OF BONDS HAS
RAPIDLY ADVANCED
Much of Money Is Trust Funds
Released for Reinyestment

Especial Correspondence of The Call
HONOLULU. Jan. "a feature of
the Honolulu stock market during the
past week has been the amount of
money seeking investment and the
consequent advances in industrials and
sugar stocks all along the line and the
stiffening in the bond market Much
of the free money is trust funds re-
leased for reinvestment through the
payment during the last month of the
bonds of many of the plantations, with
the consequence that the prices of
bonds have been going up rapidly on
bids without any takers, these funds
having necessarily to be invested in
bonds and not industrial stocks.
The greatest advance in the week
has been in Waialua, which opened on
Monday last at $71 and closed today
with the sale of 20 at $S1. This is in
the face of the fact that the dividend
rate has been cut from IL to per cent.
Eva has advanced from 26h to 27A
Hawaiian Commercial is strong;
Honokaa advanced 81 during the week.
Real estate is also active, the advent
of federal millions in development
along naval and military lines and the
certainty Of an immediate increase in
population having the natural result.

QUINCY, ILL.,, Jan. 16.-The reported

berries that can be produced the year
around in California soil.
Berry culture IS one of the most
profitable business undertakings IN
California. It offers opportunities to
the city man equal or superior to any
other farm enterprise in which he may
embark, and the climate Of California
Will do the rest.
This mammoth blackberry shown In
the Illustration is very ordinary prod
uct for this golden commonwealth. Yet
compare the profits to be made from a
crop Of this kind to the yield of the
eastern fields The globules of this
berry aye large; the seed is small soft
and not very abundant, and the core
is quite small and very soft. The flavor
OF the berry is a decided Improvement
on any known variety of blackberry;
the acid flavor so pronounced in others
is very mild and pleasant and when
fully ripe the taste is delicious.

SUCCESSOR NOT CONSIDERED
Death of Rev. Dr.. Butler Leaves
Lutherans Without a Pastor.
Matter OF Who VIII BE Called to
Memorial Pulpit Not Yet Seri-
OusIy Discussed.

L. F. Randolph. chairman OF the council
OF the Luther Place Memorial Church.
stated yesterday afternoon that no steps
viii be taken Immediately toward the
choice Of a successor to Rev. DR.. John
George Butler, late pastor
Mr. Randolph is the only member OF the
old church council still holding office.
When the dissension. which resulted in
the division OF the church. came six
months ago. four OF the five members
resigned. DR.. Butler was a member OF
the council ex-oficio. and his passing
leaves Mr.. Randolph the only one of
the old board
II seems unlikely there will be a re-
union Of the two factions Of the divided
church. Neither the regulars or the
insurgents seem inclined 70 take the
first step toward reconciliation. so the
two branches are as far apart as be-
fore the death OF the pastor.
Many OF those who withdrew from
Luther Place Memorial Church retained
their friendship and admiration for DR..
Butler
The matter OF DR.. Buffers successor
lies with the congregation, who will de-
eide il by ballot when the time comes.
The church council may later make
recommendations to the congregation, but
that is all in the future Mr.. Randolph
declined TO discuss whether Dr. Buffers
son would be recommended 20 the congre-
cation as his fathers successor.
