MORALITY LESSONS
FOR SCHOOL WORK
Talks TO Be Given Pupils Each
Day on Moral, Mental and
Physical Thought

Local school children viii have an
opportunity to taste of a new and rel
ishing addition to the present course
of study. It will consist of an interest
ing little talk on moral, mental and
physical thought, which will be given
to them every morning of the school
year for five minutes before taking UP
the commonplace studies of the modern
curriculum.
Miss Jane Brownlee. formerly prin-
cipal in one of the largest public
schools of Toledo, O., but more recently
a lecturer on moral training for the
public schools, was engaged yesterday
by the board of education to deliver
three of her famous lectures to the
public school teachers and pupils Of
this city. outlining her plan. Thereafter
the teachers will carry on the work in
their various classes without the aid
of Miss Brownlee.
Miss Brownlee, by practical expert
ments. has proved that unless given
some lessons in morality during school
life the average pupils mind is
dwarfed.
ITO have hundreds of school children
from the kindergarten to the eighth
grade thinking about the same moral
subject at the same time is the method
of my teaching" explained Miss Brown
lee yesterday. Concentration of mind
is one of its objects, and when the
minds of several hundred young folks
are concentrated upon a common OBJ
ject they are sure to reap some good
from simple lessons in morality"

Charm and Mystery Of Gretna Green Affair
Mark Night Marriage of Couple

Inculcated with the spirit of ro-
nance while posing as an Indian
maiden for the kirmess at the Fair
mont hotel Miss Edna Davis, daughter
Of Willis Davis. an artist, put her in
spiration into practice Tuesday night
and eloped with Pierre C. Moore, a
young man of excellent family> con-
nections. The Indian idea of racing for
a bride was adopted with a vengeance,
only the local pale faced Hiawatha did
not HE in moccasined feet, but by the
speedier Rontrivance of an automobile.
LIKE GRETNA GREEN AFFAIR
The elopement had all the charm and
mystery of a Gretna Green affair, and
it had the unique touch in that there
was no reason but the whim of the
girl for the unusual adventure. After
the couple had been married by Rev.
Ernest Bradley. assistant rector of
Trinity church. at his home in Clay
street at 10 o'clock Thursday night, they
sped to the St. Francis and from
there telephoned the Davis family that
they were ever so happy because they
were married. There was little
seance of establishment about the Da-
Wis telephone for few minutes
Then philosophy took a hand and the
blessing was sent back through the re-
ceiver and the transmitter
N nile Il6 lElGnQS OL the SOAtAS prO-
pie were surprised at the mans con-
duct. they ascribe the freak TO the
girls disdain for bridal wells and
orange blossom and a turreted pipe
organ playing the appropriate selec-
ton from "Lohengrin."
Mrs Moore was to be one of the In
dian maidens in the kirmess, and Tues
day night she went with her sister to
the rehearsal at the Fairmont. She
complained of fatigue and left the hotel
early, Moore very kindly taking her in
his automobile to her home at Pacific
entered the house alone, exchanged
went to her room, packed the suit
case and, with proper romantic
conceptions slipped down the back
stairway into the street. There
the gallant young Moore was waiting
with his car. 1t was off to the par
sons The postilion-or, rather, the
chauffeur of Moore's machine-was a
witness to the ceremony.
REFUSED ROMANTIC CHANCE
Miss Josephine Hannigan. friend OF
the bride, had been invited to be
bridesmaid, but she refused the golden
opportunity to participate in a lively
romance. Soon after the girls depart
ure from home her family discovered
that she had left. Later they found
brief note. which prepared them for the
telephone announcement that came
from the st. Francis.
There were rumors a1oat yesterday
that Moore had been forbidden the
house by Willis Davis, but this is de-

clared to be untrue Moore was ex-
pected to dine at the Davis home Mon
day evening, but telephoned that he
was unable to do so and was then In
vited to dinner Wednesday evening in
stead
The tale of possible parental opposi-
ton to the match was denied by Miss
Sydney Davis. the sister of Mrs. Moore.
She said: I'VE were never more sur
prised in our lives than by my sisters
marriage, as we had no idea she wanted
to marry Mr. Moore. They were the
best of friends, we knew, and were fond
of riding together and swimming. but
we always thought my sister regarded
him as a good comrade and nothing
more. There was no opposition to the
marriage by my parents because no
one ever thought anything about it.
KEPT NATTER SECRET
Neither Mr. Moore nor my sister
ever mentioned such thing TO US. We
know him very well-have known him
for a long time, and why my sister
did not tell US she was going to marry
him we can not imagine
Mrs. Moore said when interviewed at
the St. Francis yesterday:
There is no significance at all as to
the time and place of our marriage.
except that we wanted to be married
quietly and just chose to do it in that
way and at that hour. There is abb
solutely nothing else to it."
The bridegroom said practically the
same thing.
I'VE were married at 1880 o'clock
last night" he declared, 'by DR.. Brad
ley Of Trinity church. and we told no
one because we thought it was our own
private affair. We decided to be mar
ried Immediately, we wanted it quiet
and SO we were married and that's all
there IS to say about it We have
been engaged for long time, but never
told any one because that's another
thing We thought was our own affair"
ENGAGEMENT WAS DENIED
The rumor that Mrs Moore had been
taken to Europe year or two since
to cure her of her infatuation for
Moore was laughed at as an absurdity
Moore fell in love with Miss Davis in
Santa Barbara about two years ago. it
IS said, and his affection for her was a
well known fact. She had denied all
reports of her engagement to him, how
ever, and he was not regarded as being
any more favored by her than any of
her several other devoted SWANS.
Mrs Moore is the eldest daughter of
Willis Davis, an artist, and Mrs. Davis.
who was Miss Kohler. member Of
the prominent family of that name She
is considered one of the handsomest
girls in the city and has always been
very popular.
Pierre Moore comes of well known
family also, being a son of Florence
Cornwall Moore, nephew of the late
P. B. Cornwall and of George A Moore.

Especial Dispatch 10 The Call

Especial Dispatch 10 The Call
WASHINGTON, Feb. 3.LThe plea of
San Francisco for an adequate water
supply got today as far as the commit
tee on public lands of the senate, where
there was a hearing on the Hetch
Hetchy resolution. 1t will be recalled
that a few days ago the house commit
tee on public lands ordered a favorable
report on the Smith resolution granting
San Francisco certain rights in the
Hetch Hetchy valley. 1t had been sup
posed that upon this report and the
request of the senator's from CaIifor-
MIA the senate committee on public
lands would make a report in favor of
the proposition at the hearing held
today
This, it appears, was mistake. At
today's hearing before the senate COM
mittee Senator Flint of California asked
as a matter of courtesy that the COM
mittee make a favorable report upon
the resolution. Senator Flint told the
committee that it was his understand
ing that when the two senator's from
state agreed upon matter of legisla-
ton from their state a committee of the
senate would as a matter of courtesy
acqulesce. He said that Senator Per-
kins and himself were agreed that the
legislation was necessary.
Senator Fulton of Oregon made an
objection to a favorable report upon
the resolution, and in this Senator
Smoot of Utah joined
1t appeared from what was said that
somebody had received y telegram
from the Spring Valley company to the
effect that new evidence against the
Hetch Hetchy grant had been discov-
cred by the Spring Valley philanthro-
pists, and that this company had made
the remarkable discovery that it was
able to supply three times the amount
of water that it was delivering to San
Francisco.
So upon the initiative of Senators
Fulton and Smoot, backed up by a tele-
gram from San Francisco, the decision
in the senate committee was put over
until next Wednesday, when Attorney
McCutchen of the Spring Valley COM
pany will be here again to see whether
he can drop a brick sufficiently large
into the machinery to postpone matters
until this session of congress is ended.
