SAN FRANCISCO
Is CELEBRATING

San Francisco October M.-San Fran
cisco and all her guests were carnival
mad tonight and crowds still surged up
and down the streets after the decorative
Examinations were extinguished
Never before has this city entertained
such a huge crowd as gathered to see
the big civic and Industrial parade, the
leading feature of the day. More than
10000 people marched for three hours.
For time gloom spread over the
merrymakers when it was reported that
Don Casper de Portola had been thrown
from his horse and inbred, but this feel
ing turned : elatsoh when 1t was learned
thee the horsemanship of the courtly
Spaniard had enabled him to escape with
out serious injury.
The military and fraternal sections of
the parade were much the same as seen
in similar affairs, bat the iBternational
section was distinctive. Two thousand
Chinese, dressed in picturesque costumes,
followed the Japanese who escorted u
large float representing the cherry festi-
val.
The chief event tonight was the masked
ball Don Gaspar and Queen Vergilia led
the grand march.

DIVORCE CASE Is
ABRUPTLY CLOSED

Chicago, October 21-The suit seeking
annulment of the divorce granted Grace
b. Guggenheim from William Guggen-
helm eight years ago in Chicago, came to
an abrupt close here today when Judge
Honore indefinitely postponed the hear

When Judge Dunno, In 1901, granted
the divorce, the testimony of Mrs. Gug-
genheim showed that she was a resident
Of Illinois. Mrs. Guggenheim claims re-

mony was in error on this point The
matter was laid before Mr.. Dunno, who
is no longer on the bench and he, declar-
ing that fraud had been practiced on the
court and the people of the state outraged
thereby, filed a petition for the annul-
ment of the divorce.

The mystery surrounding the death of
the man claimed to be Francis Schlat-
ter was partially cleared this evening
by the discovery of family album con-
tanning a picture of the dead man taken
in 1871. This was inscribed Dr. Charles
Mclean. A note was found naming Da-
'vid McNaughton of Chicago as the Gus

declare him to be Francis Schlatter, di-
vine healer" A receipt for an envelope
deposited with the Bay State Trust COM
pany of Boston was also found This
was placed in the care of the company
last February. For three weeks the man
has been kept at the expense of the
city. He claimed that he was the or

port to be spread abroad that he had
persisted in the desert

1t is also said their methods were en-

spurned money and when it was urged
upon him Immediately distributed it
among those who seemed to need 1t.
He was native of Alsace Lorraine and

It seems that the last bill passed
By congress appropriating money for
the support of the postOfice depart
ment is without the customary pro-
vision requiring the imposement of a
fine upon railroads when they fail TO
fulfill their schedule and deliver
mail on time. This is a mighty good
thing for the railroads, but an ex-

schedules. And it goes without say
Ing that this Will work to the greater
CT less disadvantage OF every bust
ness, to say nothing of the general
public who like to get their mail
when they expect it and when public
carriers are paid to deliver it.
No one knows, save those of the in

main which eliminated the penalty
clause in the appropriation bill was
made. But congress seems to be
TIRED up about it and to repel the
lnsinuation that any of its members

save the railroads some millions of
dollars. 1t is now said that rigid in-

on why in a tone of voice sufficiently
powerful and incisive TO make both
senators and representatives ''sit up

is on them, and that the people have
made up their minds that, after all,
they propose to take a hand in the
