Colonel Watterson maintains that no man can
be either a Protectionist Prohibitionist and
remain Democrat. There are large sections
Of the South apparently, in which, in the

The Democrats in those sections will be allowed
to elect Democratic electors, Senators and Rep

counter the Star-eyed Goddess she will cut them
dead.

efficient than in Venezuela or its environs.

PIONEER FAILS TO
ANNUL HIS MARRIAGE
Aged Invalid Says Wife Was
Insane When Welded

OAKLAND, Sept. 25-Unable to rise
from his wheeled chair and addressing
the court in a quavering voice, Miles
Knox, one of the organizers of the San
Lorenzo water company and Klondfke
pioneer, vainly besought Judge Wells
today to annul his marriage with Alice
Knox, which was performed in 1879.
Since 1899 she has been confined in a
state hospital for the insane. and Knox
based his plea for annulment on the
ground that she was insane when they
were married.
Il could see ii in her eyes on the
very day we were married. but l loved
her too much to break off then" said
the feeble man. "She was insane all
the time and kept growing worse. until
she had to be put in an asylum
Attorney Philip NJ. Carey was ap-
pointed guardian ad litem for Mrs.
Knox, who was unable to appear.
Carey produced the original affidavit of
insanity which Knox had sworn out,
and the record showed that Knox dated
her infirmity from the death of their
second son.
The discrepancy in the record and
the testimony given by Knox today was
noticed by Judge Wells. who curtly re-
fused to make the order, and informed
Knox that he believed Mrs. Knox to
have been sane on their wedding day

TWO STEPCHILDREN
TOO MANY, is PLEA
Wooden Legged Man Says That
Widow Deceived Him

OAKLAND, Sept 25.-Deceit on the
part of the widow he married, who
assured him that she had only two
responsible, says H. n. Van Alstein.
for his present predicament, which
consists in being in jail under charge
of falling to provide for his family.
Van Alstein says he could have sup
ported two children, in spite of the
fact that he has only one leg, but that
the surprise and shock he received
when his wife introduced him to the
quartet have been too much for him.
Van Alstein is the compiler of d
police directory. He lives at 2026 Mag
nolia street He was married last
January. Before the wedding, he de-
clares. the widow was not only very
charming, but said she was compe-
tent stenographer and promised to help
him in his work of compiling the
directory and could save him clerk
hire If they were married. He com
plains that she kept half of her OH
spring in the background and that
the day after the wedding the four
of them came to the house and called
him papa
Van Alstein says that the first time
after the wedding that he broached
the subject of stenography to his wife
she told him that if he wanted clerk
he could hire one and that she was not
going to fill any such part, as she had
work enough looking after her chill
dren.
The husband says that he has done
his best to support the family, but
that because of his heavy handicap
he is not able to do so.

STUDENTS CARRY OFF
TOWN AND GOWN SIGN
Clubwomen Angry and Report
Theft to Berkeley Police

BERK ELEY, Sept. 25.--On some wall
in some fraternity or club house of the
students of the university. a brass sign
bearing the legend, Town and Gown
Club" is being used as a mural decora-
tion, and the ladies of the exclusive
club are up in arms over the depreda-
tions of the college boys. The matter
has been reported to the police.
The sign was rudely jerked off its
artistic frame as 1t swung in the
breezes last night at Dana street and
Dwight way, and carried bodily away
by a group of college boys, according
to Chief of Police Vollnler.
Whether the frat and students
club houses will be searched for the
missing sign is a question, but Mrs
w. S. Wattles, president OF the club,
said she was anxious for its recovery.
