styles what are called in the trade

The styles changed almost in the
twinkling OF an eye so that the *
treme styles of the early spring liter

costing $50 to SIS went up TO the
workroom to have the trimming re-
moved and the shapes were dumped
into the waste basket.

Great surprise was occasioned yes

be married within a few days, very
quietly.
Doctor Watson is one of the fore

and inquiry at her home, 2S51 CLAY

statement that she was out of the city.
Astonishment was occasioned little
more than a year ago when Brann's
wife filed suit against the senior mem
ber of the firm of Brann & Prior,

The suit was not contested, and April
10 of last year Mrs. Brann was granted

WOMAN A MYSTERY
AT PARK HOSPITAL
Men Ruch Her in From Auto
for Alleged Suicidal Attempt
and All Quickly Depart

An auto dashed up to the park emer-
gency hospital yesterday afternoon
with desperate speed and two men
sprang from the machine as it came
to a stop, carrying a woman between
them in their arms. They hurried into
the hospital with their burden, a beau
tiful young woman. and gasped out to
the steward that she had taken car
bolic acid. Preparations were made to
aid her at once. but the woman pro-
tested, struggling free, and took a few
steps toward the door. Her compan-
ions caught her as she collapsed, but
still she refused treatment, and, in
desperation, the men bundled her back
into the auto and sped away in search
of private physician.
One of the men gave the woman's
name as Virginia Blakeley. She re-
sided at the Hotel Kirk
Where the woman was taken is a
matter of conjecture, for inquiries
around the neighborhood have un-
earthed no Gle VITO her present where
abouts. The steward at the hospital
was left speechless at the whirlwind
entry, brief hysterical moment of en-
treaty and protest and sudden disap-
pearance, and ieciaias the incident
seems to him like passage from a
tale of adventure.

OIL ON TELEPHONE WIRES
TIES UP THE SYSTEM
Insulators on Long Line Will
All Be Washed
TSpccioi Dispatch 10 The Call

VALLEJO, July 25.-Because of oil
deposits on the insulators of the long
distance lines of the Pacific States tel
ephone and telegraph company from
Crockett to Oakland a big gang of men
has been employed to wash every insu-
lator along that long stretch of wire.
For several weeks telephone commu-
nication between Vallejo and Oakland
has been getting worse. Investigations
made daily of various supposed faults
failed to clear up the short circuiting
and grounding of wires until it was
discovered that when the dew from the
bay fell at night time it was attracted
to the insulators by the oily deposits on
the terra Gotta, which resulted in
grounding the wires.
The telephonemen are of the opin-
ion that the deposits are from the
fumes of the Union oil company plant
at OIeum and the Standard oil works
at Richmond.
