the conrt for the anunltnent of ber marital bonds bat some question arose which required that the should fur nlsa more eTidence of the charges sne made Sbe has complied with this requirement and has presented to the court the com plete story of ber wrongs It will be re membered that it was not definitely stated whether ber hnsoand Mr Massen wag an American citizen or not Now fell light la thrown npon this point Mr Maisen was born in Paris France He never became a citizen of this country and as Miss Burroughs says he expressed a deaire never to become a citize i of the United States In fact be bad a certain feeling of hostility against America which be was not backward in expressing 1 Tbat be is an alien is now established be yond doubt This brings up a nice Question of law upon which Judge Sanderson will ponder whether a divorce can be granted when one of the parties is an alien Another matter whicn was discussed when Miss Burroughs first applied for a divorce was that there might be collusion between her and Massen to secure a de cree In her second deposition which she made in Boston and which reached the court Wednesday last sbe testines that there is no coll us on between her and her husband stall tbat sbe separated from him some three or more rears ngo whei sbe learned that he had been guilty of infi lehty and that although sne wa associated with him in thesame theatr cal companies he has never nee sustained the re ation of wife tu She then re cites how careful she has Dren in her con duct to prevent any suspicion attaching to her According to the view of Massen which Is presented he is evidently a man of very ga habit In the complaint which Miss Burroughs filed she charged him with adultery with Dolly Moore in Cin cinnati and also wub a woman in Buffalo whose name she does not know In the latest deposition wh ch she made In Boston sbe adds another gallantry to the list and attaches some of the notes which she says Massen eceived from this Boston woman Miss

traveled throughout the Cnlted States and ve seTer lived In any place permanently bat always temporarily in tbe hotels of the cities where the companies played engagements and Mr Massen my hnsband never took any permanent boose or quarters anywhere ng to tbe present time so tbat it is impossible for me to say tbat we lived In any particular locality I can only answer that we were actors in every large city of tbe United States from Boston to Galveston and so on to the Pacific Coast Has your husband been registered as a voter in any county or municipality in the United States From

frequently and at all times I have stated and declared to my husband and to other persons members of the theatrical companies with me that my place of recidesce and home was In California and San Francisco and my man aters were directed to advertise me as of Call fornls and if I may be pardoned the violet grown in California and known as the Call fornia violet When where and from whom did you receive the first information of your husband lnfidelityT About June 1992 at Edgsrtown Mass from Lillian King the wife Wi 11am King of that place I received tbe first intimation of cry husoand Mr Massen infidelity Phe told me In substance that he was unfsilh ful that he had given a ring to a certain woman and tbat this woman was openly boasting tbst he was her lover Later namely the last of May or the first of June 194 in going to a theatrical trunk for a business paper I found three letters addressed to him one by mall anO the others apparently delivered by a messenger wh ch confirmed the belief that I had lor two years When Mrs King told me the story which I was compelled to believe I hacj no further relations or intercourse with him I took a separate room and he was not allowed and did not enter thiaroom I said to him In substance thst he must know tbe reason why His own conscience would tell him why I took the course I was taking and he neither admit ed nor denied my accusa tlon btjt permitted me thoul further ques tinning to live in th a eer after The expression tavern in one of these letters Is he common name of a certain inn or hotel In Boston where here lsaprltate

actor and has been and was useful the companies th which I hate been connected and also nm own company There had been a a matter of fact no violent hostility between him and me and I shrank from any notoriety or scandal or ill raured comments in the newspapers and in so ctety The reason Mr Bonta came to be examined I believe to be as follows hen my company was in Buffalo In October 194 I lirected mv companion an derlv woman who trsv eled with me and acted as my maid to go to Mr Massen room the hotel with a bus ness message i om her I learned when she Returned that the housemaids had nformed

Savings Bank of Oakland bas made sn important suggestion in regard to the probable defense of his son fchelbv Mar til who is now being threatened with a suit by Valeria Hicketh er Martin The bank president bas taken a lively interest in all publications about his son and if it is necessary he proposes to furnish any financ al backing son may require in order to battle in the certs Mr iMartin does not believe that his son ever meant for the marriage contract to stand He thinks Shelby signed it when mind was not exactly clear The banl presi dent bas stud ed the case very closely and le thinks Shelby mast hsve been celebrating The father in speaking about tbe pe culiar situation of his son said 1 do not care to discuss tne mstter because 1 think enough bss been said about it There bas hesn nothing said between cbelby and myself regarding what will be done in the matter I do not thins however that there will be a contest in the courta It is my opinion tbat an amicable adjustment will be made a short time The whole matter has been a very hard one for bneluy to deal witn coming at this time It seems unfortu nate that so roue notor ety should be given him now He bas been a model young man In ererv respect for four years past He was somewhat Id at tbe time this affair happened and I am satisfied he was under tbe Influence when this contract was made He has as much as told me that regarding the sign lnjf of the paper I do not desire how ever to talk on the subject for neither de bas anv des re to say or do anything to an ago ze the other I bave no opinion lo offer ns to whether or not tbe contract is bind ne Mrs alena Hicketh er Martin de ares that her contract husband not dr nk a drop of 1 lor before be gneel the contra He cannot get away from th contract on that plea declared tbe lady to a Chrom lk reporter The bot tie of champagne was opened after the contract was led and after Mr Martin had placed the wedding rine on my finger The champiene was broueht on at tbe request of Ed Pitzgerald who 1 the others present dsired to celebrate our marriage Shelby Martin CBnnot honestly say that he was under the nfu ence of i quor when be signed the con tract He had all day to th nk tbe matter over for he met me in the morning and made the engagement to meet me in the even ng in ordir to gn the psper My dear Shelby Mart cannot go back on this contract I am his lawful wife and be knows it The lawyer the case has come to the front Hernan had the distir guished honor of drawrng up the con tract under instructions from his client She by Mart I remember the nc dents of that contract mrrige very well said Attorney Hernan to a Chron ins reporter I have hesitated aDout a ng anvtn ng in connection tb the facts because it seemed to me to be a pn vate affair and one that had not got into the courts However since so much has been sa about tl case I can see no harm tn ving the lacts Two days be fore this contract was signed Slelby Mar came to and wan ed me to draw tl document aa he des red a quiet marriage I acco daice th request I did draw the cot tract and it was handed to on the morning of the dav 0 wl ch bears aate 1 was invitel by Mr Mart to be present when the con ract was gned aid that how I happened to be a guest I hsd he de th me and from I read the sections of the law regarding contract marriages Mr Mart and Miss Hicketh er listened to the reading of tbe law very atte vely 1 ad part liar stress on the fac that tbe lady should 1 ve open and noto ous as the fe of the tourg banker Sbe seemed to understand the law all ght and so did Mr Martin Intact I should not bave taken any part in the proceedings had I not bel eved that the transaction wastraight borne time after tbs contract was gned I heard that the young ladv was go ng under her ma den name and I wrote der a letter referr ng to the sect i of the law I had auoted when the document was signed sne ad dressed a letter to me which was gned aler a cketh er that me I ad sed her th in order to make tbe con tract nd ng si must carry out ts terms 1 beard no more about the matter until the contract was made public I can on say lhat the contract was drawn up in the best of fa th on my part The story has been passed around in Oakland to the effect that rcng efforts are being made to compromise the case so that will not have to betaken into the courts A young attorney who is verv much in erested tne case snd who is very close to Shelby Mart in speaking about the story of the comprom se yester dav said I do not think you will see anv comprom se in this esse now for too much bas been sa a the newspapers already Shelbj has nothing mncn to conceal now for nearly the wholes or is out If th thing had not bee i published there might have been a settle ment of some kind There is little use of bhelbv Mart piy ng out an raoneV just now If the woman was after money she had much better nave Kept tbe trouble out of the newspapers Tbe pubitcat on of the matter tended to breaa up any amicable settlement It may seem Js sfange thing but still it Is true Shelby Martin and the lady are frends ou will observe tbat in this whole controversy neither has said an unkind word about the other The way the matter stands now it Is probabie no action will be taken for several days Mr Martin does not want to take the offensive He pro poses to be on the defensive In this ma tar as he thinks he can make the best nght in this posit on THE STATE IHa PURCHASER Real Estate Which la Delinquent for lexes Is Sold The tax title sharps who for years have assembled in the Tax Collector offi to bid in real estste sold because the tax upon it was delinquent were on band as usual yesterday morning But their occupation was gone for under an act of the Legislature at its last session the State is made tne purchaser of such delinquent property The group of Ux title buyers looked on mournfully as Tax Col lector Bloct rnsde a declaration of transfer to tbe Bute or 1400 pieces of property delinquent for CUOoO taxes Then Chief Deputy Hiram took read off each piece so that any person who desired might take advantage of tbe one day of grace and redeem bis propertv Auditor Broderiek returned from Sacra mento yesterday where be bad been to consult Controller Colran relative to the computation of penalties on delinquent property in many caaas tne amount ot th penalties at the end ot tbe five years allowed for redemption will exceed tbe assessed value ol tba property This Is because while the penalty at the end of fire yean will amount to L0O per cent in terest at 7 per cent a year will alio rrin against tbe property so tbat to redeem it from tbe Btate a taxpayer will bare to pay 135 ser cent of its assessed value if ne allows it to remain delinquent that length of time While both officials regard this as unjust they decided that the intent of tbe law which was to make every one pay bis taxes was good and they would allow it to take its coarse without attempting to test it PKlCrS FEE KEDCCED The Circuit Court of Appear Give Him Six Thousand Dollar The claim of Thomas Price against tbe owners of tbe bark Llmbank baa at last been adjusted and the chemist will

Important opinions yet expressed by Attorney General Fltigerald was sent by him yesterday to the Board of RailroaoVCommissioners The opinion involvos fhe rights and powers of street railways as well as transportation com panies as they are construed In the laws of tbe Btate The Railroad Commissioners were in donbt upon two important points They asked first Do tl various provisions of tbe Constitution and laws of this 8tate conferring powers upon our Board author ize tne eiercise of such powers over elec trie and motor ra Iroads other than street railroads with towns and municipalities engaged In tbe transportation of freight and passengers within the State Tbe second quest on asked by tbe Board was almost as important It was aa fol lows Has our Board authority to re qu re the maintenance by railroad com panies en paired in the transportation of freight within this State of such switches on the lines as our Board may deem necessary for the proper accommodation of shippers along tbe lines of such rail roads To these questions affecting not only the Interests of ra Iroads operating in different count es bjit street ra Iroads in every large ciy of tbe State tbe Attorney Geneia has given the following opinion one of the most mporlant he has given nee assum ng the duties of his present position First I am of the opinion that street rail roads within the meaning and intendment of the exception to the definition of transportation compn found in section 14 tsubdlv ion 1 of ne set to orjn se and de fi the powtrs of the Board of Railroad Com missioned tst es of lgo 48 are such road on as re ied exclusively for the transportat on of passengers Boo work street railway law section 1 a Ads nctive and essential feature of a street ra war in re ation to other ra road

tn the tie devoted to Street Ra lroad Corporat ons vis on 1 par 4 4 treats of them throughout wltr re at on passenger traffic on These au nor es fu ly sustain my con elusion If the franchises of tbe ectr and motor railroads in question mere authorize them to operate as street ra roads then in assuming to act as ra porta companies in the carry ng of pasngers and fre ght or freighton tne a un awfu ly exercising their Irirtch Code of Procedure sec on 803 and yourBoard wi 1 furnish me with evidence of that fact I will at once lnsti tute proceedings against them to forfeit their franchises snd at be same time to enjoin them Irom turther operating their roads as carriers of fre ght if however they are au thorlied by their Charters to carry both passengers and reight freight alone they are transportation com pan es as dehned by the act of 1880 and within the meaning of section 22 article 12 of the Constitution and are subject to he jurisd ctlon of the Board of Railroad ommlu oners Second it is also mv opinion that the pow ers of your Board are those conferred upon it by section 22 art cle 12 of the Constitution Those powers are To establish rates of charges for the transportation of passengers and freight by ra road or other transportation companies and publish tbe same from me to time th such changes as they mar make to examine the books records and papers of all railroad and other trans portation companies and for this purpose they shall have power to Issue subpoenas and all other necessary process to hear and determine compalnts against railroad and other transportat on companies to send for persons and papers to ad minister oaths take tes monv and punish for contempt Of the orcie and processes In the same manner and the same extent as courts of record and enforce the decisions and correct abuses thro lgh the med um of the courts and prescribe a uniform system of accoup be kept by all such corporat ons and eompan es It Is a so pro ided in said sect on that he Leg ature may confer such ir her powers on he Com sslone as sha be necessary to enable them to rform the du les enjoined on them in this and the forego ng section Tbe tore going sectior re a es discrimination in Charges and fac 1 es The powers thus conferred upon the Board of Rai road omm ssloners do not include the authority to requ re th ma nteoaaee by railroad com pan es engagedMn the transpor tatlon of Ire ght with th tte of such swi ches on the lues as ssld Board may deem necessary for the proper accommoda on of shippers along the line of such rail roads Therefore the Board possesses no such authority However by section 481 of the Civil Code the duty Is njolned ipon rail road companies to furnish sufficient ac commodatlons for the transportation of all such passenger and property as offer or is offered for transportation at the place of start ng at the inction of other railroads and at ding and stopping places established for recefvtng and discharging
