Alcohol Not Affection Brought About Wedding to "Dodie" Valencia, He Says ASKS THE COURT FOR ANNULMENT OF CEREMONY Never Consented--He Says it "Was "the Rum That Was SAX FRAXCTSCO, J'ine 29. "Jimmy" Dunphy, who was wed in Redwood City two weeks agrt, has just discovered it. At least so he aps.

i ts in a complaint for annulment of I the ceremonies filed yesterday, in which he asks that "Dodie" Valencia, the woman of the tenderloin, who. is now Mrs. Iunphy, be forced to give him back his name, which he placed at her service, he maintains, his mental faculties were submerged in copious libations of golden. bubbling "lughter of the peasant girls of France," and he "knew not what he did." ilatiimonully, Dimpliy. who is a reputed millionaire, stems be out of luck.

His first venture in the field came a icropper when he discovered that his wife, the muvh-ma tried Mrs. Coffee-Sanderhaus-Silverstone-Dunphy, had neglected a few formalities in obtaining a divorce from Judge Silverstone, his immediate predecessor, and was not In reality his wife. Then followed a separation. Xow the first Mrs. Dunphy is married again and so is "Jimmy," only he hates to admit, it.

Alcohol Not Affection Yesterday, In a petition for annulment tiled with the County Clerk, he says that It was alcohol, and not i affection, which jled him to take his second trip to the aMjar." The marriage to; the Valencia woman took place at' Redwood City. "At that time." says the petitioner, "the plaintiff was so intoxicated irom alcoholic drinks that he had no roniDiehenslon of what he was doing." He never consented to the marriage, he declares, evidently on the that it Was talking" when he made the responses. But she heartless woman claims to he his wite. Continuously Intoxicated The dream of love or of alcohol seems to have persisted for several days, for the plaintilf alleges that "for many days prior to the performance of iid ceremony, and ever since un til this Jfith day of June, 1009." he was "continnously intoxicated, and so tinder the influence of alcoholic drinks that at no time during said period did he have normal' control of his mental From the complaint It appears that Dunphy came to himself "at about the hour of 6 o'clock a. m.

on this lkh day of June aforesaid," and he claims that he lost no time in putting a large number of city between himself and the womaa he promised to love, honor and cherish. lie is quite horrified at having married while he was, as it were, absent minded. Still that cruel creature claims to be his wife, and, unless the court so orders, will not for-pot the little incident down at Redwood City.

Or TOO MUCH WINE AT PRODIGAL SON FEAST ENDS HWAMILfROW SAX LEAXDRO, June 29.

X. Frank yesterday and swore to a complaint charging Frank Avdrade, a brotherrin-law, with battery. As several other members of the two families were mixed un in the affair, it is likely other warrants Will follow. Just how the trouble started, not even the seem to be able to tell, but all agree that they were ciehrating the return of Marion's prodigal son, Manual Cabral, who had just been set free from the Oakland jail, where he hed been confined on.

IN 1WN Brother, Who. Shot to Protect Honor of Sister, Is Freed by Jury KILLED HIM WHEN HE REFUSED TO WED GIRL Bride Taken From Husband of a Week by Youth Who Was Slain CHICAGO, June 29. The Cnwritten law" was sustained today by a jB-ry in Judge Kersten's court which freed Michael Paccllano, charged with the murder of Frank Sereno, as a result of Sereno's betrayal of Pacellano's sister. The de fendant's sister, Mrs. Josephine was a brida of only a wiaek, when Sereno persuaded her to leave her husband.

According to Pacellano's defence, fee-reno took her to New York and placed her amid questionable surroundings. The brother followed and brought both back to Chicago, Sereno having promised to marry Mrs. Fresso after a divorce had been secured. When the party left the train here Sereno declared he" would have nothing more to do with the girl. The shooting followed.

Noted Actress' Portrayal of "Salvation Nell" is Master-' I piece of Stagecraft wait a moment, Jim; I want you to! take me home," and with thesi spoken In a low tone, radiant features and eyes a-gllstening with tears of mingled gratitude, victory and rejoic-irig, the curtain dropped for tha last time list night on "Salvation Xell," at Liberty1 Theater, with Mrs. Flske In the title role. 1 The words quoted were spoken by the heroino. at the close of a long" sustained characterization which, while not entirely new, has many features which were never before adequately portrayed by an actress in the experience, of people who, for a couple of generations, have been patrons; of the theater. The play has a great deal to do-wlth the' Salvation Army but, so dexeriously have tile-' scenes been designed, it is Impossible for the agnostic or the Salvationist to complain, the one because there has been interjected info the play too much religion cr the other because there has not be-in enough.

p. Nell Makes Speech In the course of the luece there Is but one "army" meeting, and at that there are but two speeches delivered, One of which Is by Salvation Nell. The saving power of Christ Is feelingly set forth, showing the love of the Savior for mankind. In fact, love of human kind is the' dominating theme of her curbstone and, in the tone of the' actress' tearful voice, the auditor realizes that she has in, mind (a brutal, licentious vagabond, criminal and sinner, with Whom she herself has sinned," but whom she has almost despaired of re forming and who she knows is within sound of her voice. A few moments before her effort In appealing to the curbstone auditors.

Sal vation Xell tenderly and regretfully shows her partner in shame how her purpose for her future has placed a seemingly impossible chasm between him and her, but the love instinct is not eradicated, hence love is the subject of her discourse. The vagabond skulks on the rim of the crowd and Is apparently touched to the core by tha words of the woman whom he has treated artd At-ceived and whom he could still drag to 'more lowly depths with him. Climax of Plot The sinner's heart, however, seems to je touched. He shuffles nearer the circle taaversed by Salvation Xell in her quest for contributions and awkwardly tosses Into the tamboraine of the girl possibly the last nickel of' a debauchee. This is the climax of the play.

The girl looks upon this display liberality as an evidence of a regenerated heart. Immediately her features radiate with joy and contentment. The thug, the brute, the jailbird, the libertine has been conquered. Love, rendered pure by the 'elimination of dross through the trans muting effect of association with people morally pure, has triumphed. i It is not a thrilling scene on which to1 have a curtain drop for the purpose of evoking applause, but it was in keeping' With Mrs.

Fiske's style of acting and stage, business. The same may be said of position assumed by every performer, every movement in the play. 'There was not a melodramatic move or gesture or tone In the play. Every actor sought to be the character which he or she was supposed to he in real life. The result was the most perfect portraiture of life among the lowly, the vulgar, the depraved in a great city which has ever been presented on the boards of Oakland.

Vivid Scenes The scene comprised a saloon with loafers, drunkards, lunch fiends and thugs. With It. in close relationship, more debasing dens of vice and their noisy, gaudy, flippant, shameless inmates; a room in a tenement house and a section of the slums. In which there was a heterogeneous collection of wretched mortals, ill-fed, unkempt, ragged and shoeless1 children, and the hoodlum abandon of youth arid age when beyond- the domination of sentiment or propriety. It was really a case of shimming, but there was noperson in the Immense audience, which Ifilled the auditorium to the roof, who was not satisfied with the out- ing.

It was; a great i production, but greater was the actingfof Mrs. Fiske and her company. The stac has well shown her worthiness of thartasitlon she holds RSKE SHOWS SPLENDID ABILITY Mothar Secures the Custody of Little Boys Fopm Leslie Galbraitn HAS HIM SEARCHED, FOR CONCEALED WEAPON Welt Known Turfman- Ends Session With Judge oy boou, )ld Fashioned Cry Leslie' Calbrnlth. well known in r.ieing circles here the flays of the F.meryville track, and now engaged in breeding fine horses on a firm at Independence, yesterday, afternoon made an Ineffectual appeal to Superior Judge Harris for the. custody of his two little hoys, age 4 and prndlng ihf- outcome of his suit for a dlvore.e from Nellie Galbraith on the ground of extreme cruelty.

There was much intermittent weeping and wailing liy the husband and wife and the boys dur'ng the hearing, together with itlnnnl nnd dramatic features which kept Jjhe court at a 'high tension. throughout the proceedings, not the least of which wns flalbralth's denunciation of her husband as a dajiger-ous man when he appeared inr eourtjwith his attorney and her demand court thnt Oalbralth be searched there and then for a revolver which she' declared he was carrying for the purpose of transporting her beyond the River Styx. "Frisk" Galbraith In order to naclfv the agitatM 'woman Judge Harris called upon Deputy Sheriffs "Llese and Illgucra. who were present, to "frisk" Galbraith. This operation was performed thoroughly and quickly, while, the husband stood trembling with pent up emotion and his hands as high above his head as his arms could place but no weapon was found.

Then the court the hearing to proceed. Several times during the hearing the little boys screamed, much from fright as anything else, while both Galbraith and his wife glowered at each other and burst into' fits of weeping. Mrs. Oalbralth became so demonstrative at times that JudKe Harris had to her to herelf under pain of. being excluded from the rourt room.

Weeps on Court Steps When the court announced at the end of the hearing that he would not separate Abe children from their mother on the showing made by the husband, Galbraith groped his way out of the building blinded wiht tears and eased his heart with a good old-fashioned cry on the front he disappeared up the street. Galbraith claimed to the court that hla wife had ignored his letters asking her to Join him In Oregon with the children and without his knowledge or consent disappeared from her home in Oakland with the chlldreri. He traced them to Napa and going here from the northern adjoining State ecured possession of the children on a writ of habeas corpus made returnable In the Superior Court here, the sheriff county being In control the outcome of the contest. This brought the entire family buck to Oakland and before Judge Harris. Trouble With Woman According to the testimony adduced, Mrs.

L. T. Cananca. who roomed with the Galbraiths In Oakland, was the subject 4q some violent contentions betweerl the fcquple before they separated.

Dr. Hamlin enjoyed a much-needed rest, while at the same time he studied hard i- i' at some of the hospitals. Several months ago Dr.

Hamlin was appointed division surgeon hf the Southern Pacific Company, hoping that the work of that corporation would not take up too much of his time.

He returned oyer the Canadian Pacific, stopping at Seattle to visit the fair. Lack of Confidence 'T have returned to Oakland and California very enthusiastic regarding the 'prospect of inly own State and said Dr.

Hamlin this morning. "In this dounty we! possess a great clinhate; we have a great soil that can produce almost-anything, and we-have a great people, but it is sad lorelate that we lack just one thing, confidence in ourselves, and the spirit of unaniniously boosting for, our selves, "Coming! from Seattle, as I have, I can see this sm -it lacking in our community.

Oakland Should Boost "In Alamfda County, you will find every condition that goes to make aVommunitv So It seems to me that our things. They do not seem to have the boosting spirit in Oakland as you find in Seattle.

We have many things In this county that you cannot find In Seattle, j. yet It seems to me that we do not make the best of our advantages. "In Seattle they are tearing down the hills to' nia.ke boulevards and good roads. They are going to re-bond themselves again in order to Secure funds to build up the community, These things struck me very forcibly when I was in the fair city of the north, and I could not help reflecting back to recent days when the Board of Supervisors of Alameda county were severely criticized for building the foothill boulevard, one of the greatest scenic roads of the country; the that has brought fame to Alameda county, you might say all over the world. Good Roads Needed "After traveling around, It seems, to me the people of Alameda' county cannot spend too much money on good roads.

They are the life of a commu nity. The County of Alameda, should bond itself for not less than a million dollars, to begin with, to Improve Its roads, to build new boulevards, and to I take advantage of all the good things that nature has given usi "I do not want It to. be understood' that I am finding fault with or criticising the public officials. The fault, in my opinion, does not He with them. The lack of the boosting spirit and the taking advantage of our natural situations stems to be lacking.

I believe the future of the whole racific coast is brighter than other part of the United States. It is hound to come to the whole coast, but the quicker the people takeadvan-t age of the natural locations, the quicker tliis great progress that awaits them will come to each community. Spend More Money "Alameda county is right, and its officials are all right, but 'the people must not be afraid to! spend some money. You cannot get the goods unless you spend the money. You cannot havt good roads, fine parks and the progressive spirit unless you spend the money and show the people what they can get by being progressive ii in voting bonds to help themselves.
