story of Mrs. de vaile's alleged un-
.faithfulness. and she hid her face and
wept while Deputy Sheriff Edward
Roderick of Irvington told the jury
what he knew of her relations with
John souza and Tony Rivers. Mrs de
Valle has been growing weaker under
the strain of the trial. and at times
appeared in danger of breaking down.
Roderick testified that De valIe had
told him that his wife had had inn
proper relations with both men and
that at one time she lived. for some
with Rivers at SunoI.
DROVE HUSBAND TO DRINK
He told Roderick that this was the
thing that had driven him to. drink
and was the cause of most OF their
unhappiness. Sousa is the man Mrs.
de Vale mentioned when she made
her confession and said that she
did not want the wrong person to be
suspected of the murder.
Following the story of Mrs. de
Valle's infideifty came witnesses to
tell Of a long regime Of brutality and
cruelty in which the woman was often
elected from her own home and forced
to seek the charity of neighbors.
Among these was Mrs Ruth Jury and
her son. Deputy Sheriff Samuel Van
Dervoort 1t was Van Dervoort who
obtained the confession from Mrs. de
Vale that night she was brought to
the county jail
feature of his testimony will be
the fact that he will be a witness for
both the prosecution and the defense.
He told the jury Of getting the con-
fession and he will tell them this
afternoon what he knows about the
cruelty which De Vale Is said to
have inflicted upon his wife and chill
dren for many years.
CHILD AIDS MOTHER
Looking with childish wonder on
the scene this morning was Mamie de
Vale, 13 year old daughter of the
woman, who has been in CONSTANT at
tendance at the trial. The child was
subpenaed by the prosecution. and
proved one Of the strongest witnesses
for the defense.
Her story, like many of the other
witnesses was that the family was
cruelty treated by De Vale, who was
nearly always intoxicated. With her
mother in the county Jail and the
family completely broken up, Mamie
has no home Of her own. and Is liv-
ing In Castro valley with her grand
mother, Mrs Frank Corriea.
District Attorney Hynes said that
the trial of Mrs. de Valle would not
be concluded Tor another week.

this morning addressed the jury in

Dunno told the jury that the au-
tomobile which Mcnamara said was
his was bought with Mrs. McNamara's &
money. He referred to the notice
which Mrs. Mcnamara posted in the
public press announcing that she
would not be responsible for her hus-
bands debts, and he showed that Mrs.
Mcnamara. for several months prior
to her departure on the automobile
trip, had been striving to regain pos

: Colonel John p. Knight, superin-

transport service would like to know
: what has become OF the United States
transport Buford, which left this port
!. nearly a month ago to bring back
American refugees from Mexico.
The Buford was last heard from at
Acapulco more than two weeks ago.
According to the regulation the Blu
: ford should keep in touch by wire

the Buford is safe, Colonel knight be-

fact that no ship has picked up her

Considerable smallpox has been re-
ported along the Mexican coast, and
fears are entertained that the Bnford

F. w. DohrnafH eays Real
Development Can Come
Only Gradually
By F. w. DOHRMANN

Two points should be called to at
fention in speaking of what future
development there is in store for San
Francisco: the first is, that there
should be no attempt to compare the
situation IN the northern and south
ern parts Of the state. for they are
entirely different; and the second,
that our growth here is due to be
gradual rather than fast
The people who have settled in
great numbers In Southern California
brought money with them, and, to be
sure, many made more after they got
there. In this part of the state, on
the other hand. they have mostly
come here with but little and made
their money here. and thus contrib
uted TO the development of the state
afterward. The conditions are not
analogous and there is no parallel
course which may be made the basis
for comparison.
NOT GET-RICH-QUICK PLACE
No one should come here with the
idea that it Is possible to reach afflu-
ence over night, or believe that this
part VI the SLdtG VIII develop IN a
day, a month or a year. II we lead
people TO think that anybody can
make an easy living here, they will
grumble and be disappointed. Re-
suits can be had only by hard work.
Quality Is what we want in urging
immigrants to come here. There is
some doubt of the benefits to be gain
ed by mere quantity. If they come
here, not with the idea of getting
rich in a hurry themselves, but in
order that they In time and their
children may have better chance,
the state will undergo the right sort
of development. That has been the
history of other parts of this country
High color painting Of the climatic
advantages of this section will not
suffice to induce the sort Of influx of
population that we need most. The
more fundamental possibilities must
