San Francisco, June 11.-Reports
that Millionaire James Q. Dunphy
and his wife, whose marriage was re-
Gently annulled by the local courts,
have become reconciled and will be
remarked as soon a. she can divorce
herself from Julius Silverstone, a
Portland attorney are current here
today.
The rumors are based on the fact
that Mrs. Dunphy or 5ilverstone has
abandoned her appeal from the de-
cision of a local court, which held
that she is Silverstone's wife, her
divorce from him being illegal.
Neither Dunphy or the woman will
d scuss the reports. but the fact that
they have been seen together recent
ly and her attorneys action In with
drawing the appeal Is regarded by
friends OF the pair as conclusive evil
dence that their differences have been
settled.
According to the reports, the wo-
man will start suit for divorce from
Silverstone at once.
Mrs. Sllverstone-Dunphy's matri-
monial experiences have been varied,
and she has been In the divorce court
much OF the time since she was 16
years of age, a short time after she
married the first of her four hus-
bands.

Judge Kimball of the Police Court be-
lieves that the court building needs paint
Ing so badly that he thinks an appro-
priation of $1,000 should be included in
the urgent appropriation bill to be taken
up Immediately by Congress upon its re-
converting.
He has called the attention OF the Com
missioners to the need and SO impressed
are they that they have instructed Audi
tor Alonzo Tweedale to include the item
in the estimates for urgent deficiencies tc
be submitted by the Commissioners. The
matter was brought to the attention OF
Congress at the extra session last sum-
mer. but the court building is still UNI
painted and there is no money available
for the work.
IT want again to state that there Is
great necessity for the repainting of the
building" Judge Kimball has written the
Commissioners. Every days delay puts
the building in worse condition.
He invites attention to report OF the
municipal superintendent of repairs, show
ing the absolute necessity for this ap-
propriation.

OYSTER WAR rs FEARED.
Outbreak Threatened Between Pri-
vate Owners and Poachers.

Rumors are reaching Washington daily
that there are grave possibilities of an
old-time oyster pirate war in Chesapeake
bay waters. The situation as it is I'M
derstood by the oystermen landing here
is that the poachers are encroachng
with increasing holiness on the private
beds of owners in Maryland waters.
Both the owners and the poachers are
said to be ready with loaded guns. Oys-
ter wars in the past have been bloody
and cruel, and the state recognizes this
fact. Should trouble develop. the tor
pedo boat Sommers of the naval militia
will be rushed to the scene and will CO.
operate with the state police boats. The
Sommers is being prepared for service,
and the officers and crew are momen-
tarily expecting the call to duty.
The situation at.many points is strain
3D. The owners declare they will not
tolerate any further poaching. and the
poachers do not show any sign of being
''bluffed' into submission.

SAID TO HAVE FORFEITED BONDS
SETH W. VAN DEVER AND JOHN
NELSON ALLEGED FUGITIvES.
Rev. w. j. Howard, Colored, Their
Bondsman, Earnestly Seeking
Their Recapture

Rev. W. ]. Howard, colored, pastor of
Zion Baptist Church. F street southwest.
is anxious that two alleged fugitives from
justice, Seth ". Van Dever and John
Nelson, should be recaptured and re-
turned here for trial. The pastor was
induced to become surety for the men
named. believing they wovld be here
when wanted. He was, therefore, greatly
surprised when he learned they had not
fulfilled their part of the obligation.
The amount fixed in each case was 81
500. Nelson was accused OF having set
fire to his personal effects in his room at
93l New York avenue. the 4th of Septem-
Der. for the purpose of swindling the
insurance companies, while Van Dever,
who was a policeman, entered the grocery
store of Fisher & Son, Wisconsin avenue
and N street, and committed thefts.
Record Of the Fugitives.
Shortly after Nelson was arrested the
police learned that he had been In trou-
bic before, having travelled all over
the world. The policeman, however, who
was from Tennessee, had never before
been in trouble. In addition to hav-
ing been caught coming from the store,
the policeman made q confession, and, it
Is SldteO, ildu arranged 10 SfIttl PlOo
q guilty and take his punishment.
Van Dever appreciated the fact that
three years Imprisonment would mean
to him the longest three years he had ever
experienced, and just before the arrival OF
the day set for him to go into court he
took to the road. Nelson denied that he
had set fire to his effects He seemed to
appreciate what an ordeal there was in
store for him, however. and disappeared.
Both bonds were declared forfeited, and
it is probable that the government will
institute proceedings for the purpose of
collecting the 5000 from the minister.
He will be given a reasonable time to
produce the men in court, however, and
should he succeed in finding them the
forfeitures may be set aside.
Nal Sylvester, superintendent Of police,
was appealed to yesterday by Mr..
Howard for assistance, and the latter
promised that the police would do all
in their power to bring about the re-
capture of the alleged criminals.
The superintendent gave permission for
the use of his name in descriptive cir
culars sent broadcast, the circulars con-
tanning the offer of a reward OF 500 for
each of the men. Their descriptions are
also given In the circular.

ent inaccessbility prevents it from becom-

favorable consideration of the project of
extending car lines into Rock Creek Park.
This would make possible the use of this
