Man of Two Romances Is
Charged With Non-Support
Returns From Second Honeymoon Trip and
IS Accused by First Wife

gambled to such an extent that he
overdrew his account at a bank and put
himself liable for $500 worth of hcti-
tious paper. She said she gave him
1855 and sent him to the wales of
Schenectady N. Y. beyond the reach Of
the California law. His behavior in the
east. she said. was as bad as out here,
and ultimately he was forced to come
back again. On this testimony Mrs.
Brock secured her divorce.
Following the divorce civil suits were
commenced against Brock by Mrs. Clark
to recover the amounts lent him and by
Mrs. Brock for the maintenance of her
child and for the attorneys fees and
costs which he was supposed to pay.
In the midst of the legal turmoil
Brock eloped with one of the Berkeley
bellies. Miss Virginia Perry, the two be-
ing married in San Rafael 90 days ago.
The second Mrs. Brock is the niece of
C. NJ. and Mrs. Johnson, 2317 Carleton
street, popular high school girl and a
member OF the Phi Epsilon society and
of the wv society of Oakland.
No sooner did the couple return from
their honeymoon at Inverness than Mrs.
Brock number l appeared with a war
rant for his arrest, charging him with
failing to provide for his minor child.
The warrant was sworn to before Jus
tice of the Peace Edgar of Berkeley and
will be presented to Brock at the first
opportunity.

OAKLAND July 26.-While in the
first flush of his elopement and honey
moon warrant was sworn out against
Ralph Luke Brock of Berkeley by his
former wife yesterday, charging him
with falling to provide for his minor
child.
This having been made a felony by
the last legislature, casts the somber
shadow of prison bars across the radi-
ant light O. love in which Brock is
basking for the second time. Behind
the issuance of the warrant is a story
of love and intrigue involving Brock
in two romances. Also, in haphazard
career along the giddy heights of friv-
olity and in a flight across the conti-
nent and back again to save himself
from his entanglements.
Brock is solicitor for the Mortimer
Press. the son of a book keeper, and
lives at 2606 Benvenue avenue, Berke-
dwelling. He married Miss May Clark
when she was II years old and was
divorced from her two years ago. The
marriage was an elopement, and on the
witness stand both Mrs. Brock and her
mother declared that the gay solicitor
had never paid a cent toward the sup
port of his child, born four years ago.
In the divorce proceedings Mrs. Anna
Z. Clark, Mrs. Brooks mother, gave a
lurid account of her son in laws be-
havior. According to her, he not alone
deserted her daughter, but also he

RESULTS FATALLY
Herbert Mackie, Injured in Re-
cent Berkeley Accident,
Dies in Hospital

BERKELEY, July 26.-After hover
ing between life and death for nine
days, Herbert P. Mackie, the young
real estate agent who was struck by
the Claremont avenue car while driv-
ing his automobile, died at the East
Bay sanitarium this afternoon. The
doctors state that he made a hard fight
for life, but a fractured skull in con-
rfection with other injuries proved too
much and he steadily weakened.
Mackie, who was graduated from
the University Of California, was driv-
ing his machine from the Center street
office of w. ]. Mortimer, where he
was employed as salesman, to his
home in Claremont. AS he was cross
ing Prince street in front of rapidly
moving Key Route car his engine went
dead" and before he could Jump the
train struck his machine
The force of the collision broke the
air brakes on the train, and the auto
was carried 100 feet before a stop
could be made. Mackie was picked up
as dead but later rallied
He was born In Melbourne, Australia,
and was 80 years old. His parents
were wealthy and the family promi-
nent in England and Australia.
Arrangements have not yet been
made for the funeral.

NEWS OF OAKLAND BERKELEY ALAMEDA HAYWARD AND SANLEANDRO
MEN SPEND MORE ON
DRESS THAN WOMEN
Mans Average Expense Is $33,
While Women Get Along
on Only $23

BERKELEY, July 2s.-Mrs. Ellen H
Richards, expert in household economy
from the Massachusetts Institute Of
Technology, sprung another surprise on
the university summer session students
in the course of her series of lectures
when she declared that statistics prove
that man spends more for dress than
woman. In fact. the average man, she
said. spends a great deal more than
his wife.
The wife reaches in her purse and
takes out $23 for her bill OF clothing
while the man has to write a check
out for S33. A boy spends $12 and a
girl spends SIS, Mrs. Richards says
The lecture created a decided i'm
preston on her audience. Continuing,
Mrs. Richards pointed out that wash
ing, etc. costs the average family $40.
The liability to disease, she averred
however. did not vary with the income,
but the means Of combating il did.
Mrs. Richards quoted more interest
ing facts. For instance, only one
fourth of the families having an in
come Of s1.l00 a year or less can af-
ford a bathtub. Only one family in
seven has this useful article in its
home for family convenience.
The speaker closed her lecture on
the subject Of fashionable and un-
fashionable neighborhoods. These are
created solely by the people who re-
side in the houses, apartments or
hotels. she said, in spite of the real
estate agents and capitalists. Rents
have little or nothing to do with it.

HOTELMAN'S DEATH
IS DEEP MYSTERY
Proprietor of Clinton Hotel
Found Unconscious With
Jaw Broken

RICHMOND, July 26.-David Heatley,
proprietor of the Clinton hotel, who
was mysteriously assaulted, it is sup
posed at the door of the hostelry last
Monday night, died this afternoon in
Abbott hospital and the police are now
lem.
Heatley was found in an uncon-
scious condition on the first floor of
his hotel late last Monday night, with
broken jaw and an ugly cut on his
face. He did not recover consciousness
completely afterward, and his speech
was so badly affected that the attend
ants at the hospital had the greatest
difficulty in comprehending his at
tempts to explain his injuries.
His story, as nearly as could be as
certained, was to the effect that he had
answered a rap at the front door of
the hotel Monday night. and upon
opening the door had been violently
hit by some one standing without He
was unable to tell who his assailant
was, or to describe him, but his at
tendants say that he intimated that it
was former lodger in the hotel
The police have been investigating
Heatley's story, but have arrived at no
clew which promises to solve the mys-
terry. There has been some disposition
to discredit the dead mans story. and
attribute his injuries to a fall, but
there seems to be no plausible reason
for this theory.
Heatley's body is at the morgue,
where an inquest will be held. He
leaves a widow. He was about 80 years
of age.
