GODDESS OF F[TE
MAY LOSE THRONE
Pretty Girl Chosen to Rule San
AnseImO Carnival Is Resi-
dent of Rival Town

SAN ANSELA1O, June 19.-Contserna-
ton reigns in the ranks of the fourth
of July celebration committee here. and
Martha Helen Clute is filed with sor-
row and disappointment. and all be-
cause 1t was discovered last night that
the goddess of liberty elected by local
school children to lead the parade is
not resident of this town. but of the
rival of town of Ross.
Pretty IA year old Martha Clute was
chosen by her schoolmates of the san
Anselmo school to be the goddess of
the fourth of July pageant, and not un-
til last night was it known that her
home was located just outside the
bounds of san Anselmo. Her elabo-
rate gown for the celebration has al
ready been made, her gilded crown has
been purchased and all her childish
plans have been made for the mo-
mentous day when she should sit on
her flower decked float, surrounded by
her youthful pages. and lead the pa
rade of floats which is to be the chief
feature of the celebration.
Now the members of the parade
committee are in a deep quandary, for
other ambitious mothers claim that it
is unfair to give a maid from Ross the
high honor of being the goddess of
San Anselmos fete. They dislike to
disappoint Miss Clute now that all her
preparations have been completed. ana
yet they are strong in the opinion that
some fair San Anselmo miss should
have the enyied position of goddess.
The citizens of Ross. some of whom
have been silently jealous of San An
selmo's elaborate preparations for the
fourth, regard the mistake as a huge
joke on their rivals, and say that if the
committee viii permit Miss Clute to
retain her goddess-ship they will
support the celebration both by con-
tributions and their attendance.
Several members of the local COM
mittee are inclined to allow matters TO
rest as they are, but others are in
favor of electing San Anselmo girl.
so that the puzzling affair still hangs
in the balance.

THREATENING LETTER
WRITER DENIES GUILT
Benjamin Wellington SouIe En-.
ters Plea to Charge

A plea of not guilty was entered yes
terday by Benjamin Wellington SouIe,
charged with sending threatening let
tiers to Rudolph Spreckels, Mrs. Spreck-
els and James OBJ. Gum with inten-
ton to eXtort money from them. Be-
fore this Judge Dunno had overruled
a demurrer fnterposed by Attorney E.
B. d. Spagnoli.
1t was argued by Spagnoli that the
indictment in which the defendant was
charged with attempting to extort
money from Mrs SpreckeIs should at
least be dismissed, as the allegation
was that Souie had tried to brighten
Mrs Spreckels into inducing her hus-
band to give up money
Soule wrote letters to Spreckels
Gum and Mrs. Spreckels, threatening
that If Spreckels did not give him
$4,000 he would poison them with the
most deadly poison that could be con-
cocted-a Hindu drug for which there
is no antidote and which could be in
jected while the victim was in a crowd
An appointment was made with Soule
at Spreckels' house and he was ar
rested there.
