Pittsburg was "astounded today at the announcement that A.

W. Mellon, the Pittsburg' banker, and his wife had separated. Wiiile for some months there had been rumors of trouble, the information given to Plttsburgers was that -Mrs. Mellon was simply making one of her semi-yearly trips, to her old home in Kngland. All connected with the Mellon Interests today dtny knowledge of there being a man in the caso in England.

At IJonora, the story created much interest. Mrs. Mellon is considered the godmother of that new steel town 3b miles from Pittsburg. Her given name was used In conjunction with the imrnt "Donor" that of a friend of Mr. Mellon In naming the, town Donora which the Mellons built.

Mrs. Mellon on the day the town was formally made her first and only reil appearance in society. On that day she was very gay and mixed with her husband's workmen who comprised the population of the town. She said it ie-minded her of the towtis in England. It became known today that it Was In Fittsburg which Mrs.

Mellon learned to hate so bitterly that she first met Mr. Mellon. That was in 1SS7 when Miss Nora McMullen, daughter of the Heart-ford, England, brewer, was a member of a party passing through from California to New York and stopped in Pittsburg to look at the steel mills. Mellon who was heavily interested in oil, as well-as finance and steel, met the young lady at a function and volunteered to show her and her party the real Inside of steel making, which he did.

Soon after the formation of the United States Steel corporation Mr. Mellon made his wife a preseirt of about $1,000,000 in stock of the new venture, hich has. since necome very vaiujoie anu irom which she is deriving a good income. irrespective of tljie private income which has been set aptit for her by her husband.

Kriendsof thf Mellons were amused about two years! aeo when Mrs. Mellon who had- developed quite a mania for liranciering, decided on buying a certain stock with her cash which she liao on deposit in her husband's own bank. She withdrew the money against the protests of her husband and. bought heavily of this stock, taking it over outright. Within three days the wave of depression struck Pi'tsburg and the stock dronjed sitv points.

The Governor advised young negroes to turn their attention to the farming enterprises of Canada and the Northwest. o- flffl STRIKE i WILSON Secretary Mikely of Agriculture to: Suffer With His Aide I Is BALLINGER CONTROVERSY IS RATHER FAR REACHING Chief Engineer Newell of Reclamation Service Also Comes Under Fire ASHIXGTOX, Sept. 18.

Many a Washington official is secretly quaking and wondering where the Taft lightning will next strike "my policies." ARE CLOSE FKIEXDS.

Wilson Is undoubtedly a fast and firm friend of Pinehot. and both he and Pinehot are fast friends of Roosevelt and his policies. Ordinarily, if a member of the President's1 cabinet should come home after a trip out West and find that Wis friend and ally, Pinehot. who is fishing on an island In California, had been belabored, so to speak, by wireless telegraph messages from the President that the secretary would state boldly that Pinehot deserved rebuke, or he would fly to the defense. But Mr.

Wilson has said nothing. The rumor here is that Secretary who approved Pin-chot's acts as chief forester, -has himself been hit by the bolt that struck his aide. Chief Engineer Newell of the reclamation service has come under Bal-llnger's fire. Xewell is a Roosevelt man from the fir3t to the last irrigation ditch.

1 It's the talk of the GERMANS TO HOED STATECpilItl League of California Teutons Will Assemble in Oakland, Next Sunday Next Sunday one of the largest delegate conventions ever held under German auspices in this city will meet In Germania Hall, on "Webster street, when the German-American National I-eague of the State of California is called ito order. There will be 1 nattendanee ninety delegates and these will be accompanied by leading Germans from all sectlcfns of the State who are interested in purposes of the league and the business which is to be brought up for deliberation. FIRST CONVENTION IN OAKLAND, This is the first time that the convention has been set for this city, all the previous Igatherings been held in San will be Francisco. In this convention represented "practically all th-? Germans In California, becaus? most of the members and thctir descendants be- leng to a German organization of some kind and all these organizations are represented in this league. An idea of the universality of the 'representation may be received from the statement that there are twenty German societies In Alameda county, and of these eighteen are affiliated with -the league.

The two exceptions have only a few members. German auxiliaries are not debarred from the league by reason of sex. for there are among the societies in the, league several ladies' organizations in this city and vicinity. In fact, the last verein to join the league was the German Ladles' Relief Society of Alameda. ALAMEDA CONTINGENT.

The twenty societies in Alameda, county form what is known as the German-American National League, and I these with similar league in San Francisco. San Jose, San Diego. Sacrardento and Los Angeles form what is known as the German-American 'National League of the State of California. Similar- leagues are already In existence in thirty-five otner states ot trie mon. There are national officers of the organization with headquarters in Philadelphia, but these were elected at that place at the time of the first pratherinir and have been serving in urgent matters, which bjwas deemed advisable to refer to the various State and subordinate unions throughout the country.

Thus -fat, however, there has not been a real national convention; called, and it is not yet known whether or not such a call will be Issued, EACH SOCIETY MAS DELEGATES. Every society in the State le.igue is entitled: to Avo delegates for the first 130 members and another delegate for each fifty members over that number. Eifch local league is also entitled to additional delegates and in the case of Alameda county the representation is two delegates, who, in this instance, are It Mal'ly and Varlin A. Currlin. The convention will be alli to order at 10 o'clock' by the State president.

John Herman of San Among the other officers are Professor Albin Putzker of Perkeley, vice-president; Charles YV. Mueller of San Francisco, co responding secretary; II. Veltin, Oakland, financial secretary. During the convention there will be a number of subjects which affect the social, educational and material condition of the German people discussed find 1t is expected that action of Importance will be takeijon several of therru In the evening, after the sessions, there will be a literary and 'musical entertainment in Germania Hall.

18. By order of Tax Collector Push a great mass of records found to have escaped destruction in a safe in the ruins of the City Hall, which was opened by Contractor John Tube's men, will be transferred to an unoccupied room in the basement of the-ast wing of the City Hall adjoining the large room now used for registering voters. The order was made after the Tax Collector hatl had a preliminary examination made of the books and papers by an expert from his office, who, though unable to get at the documents and volumes where they now are sufficiently well to ascertain! just what they may contain, convinced himself they are well worth preserving and looking over thoroughly. The work of transferring the books and papers will begin tomorrow morning. It will be no easy task, as there appear to be about a thousand large books, besides an enormous mass of papers.

In the basement room they will be safeH- locked up pending a more thorough examination. They will be under the eye of the same force of police now guarding the Treasurer's quarters.
