Gustave Woerner, a' wealthy coop- er, member of the David Woerner com- pany, was . sued for divorce \ yesterday on the ground of cruelty. It is but little more than a year since Miss Lil- lian -Salgard became Mrs. Woerner. They were married at San Rafael Feb- ruary 4,' 1909, and six months later the cruelty of "which -Mrs. Woerner. com- plains began, according to. her bill. It- Is charged that Woerner "abused, vilified- and applied profane language to the.plaintiff and threatened her with violence," August 28 and on other days. This, she says, has caused ' her such acute anguish, that if she were com- pelled to live with her, husband her health would-be completely ruined. Woerner is- possessed •of property worth $250,000, from which he enjoys an income" of $500 a month, his wife states, and. she asks for $300 a month permanent alimony. She also prays the court to restore to her her maiden name— Lillian Salgard. John T. Wil- liams is^her attorney. . Divorces^ were granted yesterday as follows: <" ' . . By Jadjfe Hunt—Theodore F.

Blum, son of Mr. and Mrs. Simon Blum l of this city, slipped quietly to Redwood City the morning of April 14 and were married by Jus- tice, of. ~ the Peace James Hannan, the news of the . event not being made public until yesterday afternoon, j J Fear of parental objection because of the difference -in religion, young Blum being. of the Hebrew denomina- tion and Mrs. Blum a Presbyterian, was the Immediate cause back of the runaway matc|j, and the young couple were merely awaiting the return of the groom's father from New York before breaking the news to their families. The secre^ leaked out yesterday, however, by the merest chance. Both Blum and his bride have been employed in Blum's candy store ,in California street near Devisadero, and both were given a day off Wednesday. During their absence Mrs. Blum Sr., not un- derstanding the combination of the safe, sent first to her son's boarding house for information, and then to Miss Julian's, and found they both had moved, leaving no address. "When they told us yesterday about it," young Mrs. Blum said yesterday,/ "we decided it was best not to try to keep our secret until June, as we had intended, so we broke the news to his mother at once, and I wrote, to my parents, explaining the circum- stances." , Following the impromptu wedding Mr. and Mrs. Blum returned imme- diately to their work.

O'SulliTan [Special Dispatch to The Call] « VACAVILLE, April 2S.— After a jump of more than. 100 miles from Willows, the Johnson party invaded Solano coun- ty, the' stronghold of Alden Anderson. An enthusiastic reception was given the candidates,' a delegation imme- hiately taking charge of them and es- corting them to private homes, where they will spend the night. The meeting tonight is said to have been the largest ever held here. The (y?er a houso.Jias 600 chairs down stairs and a gallery. Every seat was taken and the aisles and lobby were crowded. The speeches were loudly applauded, Hiram Johnson being Interrupted time after time by tumultuous cheering. He said in part: "This is no year for glittering gen- eralities and easy platitudes. Every candidate who will appear before you will, of course, be in favor of good roads, material prosperity, the ad- vancement of the state and the square deal. This is the old ordinary cam- paign claptrap, and simply clouds the issue. The question is how do you stand, Mr. Candidate, on the para- mount issue of this campaign? Is the Southern Pacific behind you? Is it making your fight, or are you on the side of the people? Ifhe prevari- cates, or if lje wobbles or evades, then j'ou, as Californians, as Americans, as patriotic citizens, should not give him your suffrage." Referring to San Francisco, Johnson said: "It's rotten government can not be laid at the door of the labor unions, but is the result of big business and the banker in alliance with the political boss and the tenderloin. The greatest enemy of this republic today is not the thug or the inhabitant of the ten- derloin, who have the brand upon their faces, but it is the man in broadcloth who hires them to^do the things which he is too big and^cowardly to do, and who skulks behind his cloak of re- spectability." With an appeal to lay aside petty pride or sectional jealousy Johnson' brought his speech to a. close amid a j great demonstration. C. J. Uhl, large fruit grower and the town trustee, who received the Jjighest vote at the last election, acted as chairman of the meeting. On the; platform also was Senator Frank Dev- lin, one of~the most prominent republi- cans "of the county, who insists that Johnson will carry the county. In this town the Johnson club doubled its membership tonight, because of cards signed at the meeting. It how numbers more than 150.

IL Heaeock as United ftates district court commissioner. \u25a0United States District Attorney Devlin, despite the vindication of his adminis- tration, w.ill not resign until after the "primary election. \u25a0 These are two bits of subsurface fed- .• \u25a0 eral politics which are said to be closely related, and one of which has direct bearing upon the fight for the republican nomination for governor. That the retirement of Judge Heaeock figured materially in Devlin's success- ful tight for a confirmed rcappointment is ir,..re than hinted. That Devlin's re- tention of the office until after the pri- mary election is directly the result of th«» gubernatorial situation is admitted. DEVSOX Al-'TEII DEVL.IVS JOB.

The threat doe* not run from either «>f the United States senators, and iniKlit not be especially terrifying if Mc.Vab knew, as he wiil if he does not now know, that there will be no va- cancy in the district attorney's office liiitil after the primary election. Practical politicians, who were wholly enable to explain why President Taft, £he department of justice and two re- publican senators from California were unable to secure the confirmation of I'cvlin's reappointmer.t. found an ex- planation yestorday in the disclosure of the fact that Denson had been a taudidate for Devlin's place up to the time that .Tudge , Heaeock gave notice •of his retirement on July 1.

PB.ISEB IXDIGXAXT > \\. 11. Fraser, manager of Nat El- lery's gubernatorial campaign, is all fussed up over the report that Johnnie Ing and Bob Richardson, registrar of ttte Ipnd office and postmaster. re- spectively, at Sacramento, are working day and night for Alden Anderson. So keeply does Fraser feel about this vio- lation of tlie nonparticipation rule that lie purposes to take the matter up with the federal- authorities at Washington. Incidentally, it is announced that El- le*y has some pull in Washington and that. lie declines to permit federal office holders to work for any other guber- natorial aspirant. "If the direct primary law means anything," said Fraser yesterday, "it mean* that the people should be per- mitted to .select their candidates with- out the diclation of federal officials. The spirit of the law has been flagrant- ly violated by the leaders of several factions 1n the party, but we mean to do all we can to prevent federal offi- cials from taking an active part in the campaign." Fraser explained, quite gratuitously, that Ellery did not enjoy the support of any federal office holder. -Frank Miller, boss of Riverside coun- ty and famous as mine host at the Glenu-ood, Riverside, may be the or- E.-jnlz&tion's man In a bottle for Frank Flint's berth in the United States sen- ate. Miller is not the three star figure on a program yet, but his name is be- ing whispered among the machine meo. Miller is one of Huntington's closest political friends, and if need be could open a sack of senatorial proportions without recourse to his friends.

[Special Dispatch to The Call]« VACAVILLE,April2S.— After a jump

of more than. 100 miles from Willows,

the Johnson party invaded Solano coun-ty, the' stronghold of Alden Anderson.

An enthusiastic reception was giventhe candidates,' a delegation imme-hiately taking charge of them and es-corting them to private homes, wherethey willspend the night.

The meeting tonight is said to havebeen the largest ever held here. The (y?er ahouso.Jias 600 chairs down stairs anda gallery. Every seat was taken andthe aisles and lobby were crowded. Thespeeches were loudly applauded, HiramJohnson being Interrupted time aftertime by tumultuous cheering. He saidin part:

"This is no year for glittering gen-eralities and easy platitudes. Everycandidate who will appear before youwill, of course, be in favor of goodroads, material prosperity, the ad-vancement of the state and the squaredeal. This is the old ordinary cam-paign claptrap, and simply clouds theissue. The question is how do youstand, Mr. Candidate, on the para-mount issue of this campaign? Isthe Southern Pacific behind you? Isit making your fight, or are you onthe side of the people? Ifhe prevari-cates, or if lje wobbles or evades, thenj'ou, as Californians, as Americans, aspatriotic citizens, should not give himyour suffrage."

Referring to San Francisco, Johnsonsaid:

"It's rotten government can not belaid at the door of the labor unions,but is the result of big business andthe banker in alliance with the politicalboss and the tenderloin. The greatestenemy of this republic today is notthe thug or the inhabitant of the ten-derloin, who have the brand upon theirfaces, but it is the man in broadclothwho hires them to^do the things whichhe is too big and^cowardly to do, andwho skulks behind his cloak of re-spectability."

With an appeal to lay aside pettypride or sectional jealousy Johnson'brought his speech to a. close amid a jgreat demonstration.

C. J. Uhl, large fruit grower andthe town trustee, who received theJjighest vote at the last election, actedas chairman of the meeting. On the;platform also was Senator Frank Dev-lin, one of~the most prominent republi-cans "of the county, who insists thatJohnson will carry the county. In thistown the Johnson club doubled itsmembership tonight, because of cardssigned at the meeting. Ithow numbersmore than 150.

\u25a0 These are two bits of subsurface fed-.• \u25a0

direct bearing upon the fight for therepublican nomination for governor.

That the retirement of Judge Heaeockfigured materially in Devlin's success-ful tight for a confirmed rcappointmentis ir,..re than hinted. That Devlin's re-tention of the office until after the pri-mary election is directly the result ofth«» gubernatorial situation is admitted.DEVSOX Al-'TEIIDEVL.IVS JOB.

Dcnson. who, it is said, is slajed forHeaoocks berth, was an under covercandidate for Devlin's place, .lohn Mc-Nab, who 18 packing a promise of thedistrict attorneyship xipon

resignation, has been threatened withthe revocation of that promise if hedo<?s not pocket his pride and get intoAlden Anderson's fight for governor.

The threat doe* not run from either«>f the United States senators, andiniKlit not be especially terrifying ifMc.Vab knew, as he wiil ifhe does notnow know, that there will be no va-cancy in the district attorney's officeliiitilafter the primary election.

Practical politicians, who were whollyenable to explain why President Taft,£he department of justice and two re-publican senators from California wereunable to secure the confirmation ofI'cvlin's reappointmer.t. found an ex-planation yestorday in the disclosureof the fact that Denson had been ataudidate for Devlin's place up to thetime that .Tudge ,Heaeock gave notice•of his retirement on July 1.DOUBLE CROSS WHISKERED

\\. 11. Fraser, manager of Nat El-lery's gubernatorial campaign, is allfussed up over the report that JohnnieIng and Bob Richardson, registrar ofttte Ipnd office and postmaster. re-spectively, at Sacramento, are workingday and night for Alden Anderson. Sokeeply does Fraser feel about this vio-lation of tlie nonparticipation rule thatlie purposes to take the matter up withthe federal- authorities at Washington.Incidentally, it is announced that El-le*y has some pull in Washington andthat. lie declines to permit federal officeholders to work for any other guber-natorial aspirant.

"If the direct primary law meansanything," said Fraser yesterday, "itmean* that the people should be per-mitted to .select their candidates with-out the diclation of federal officials.The spirit of the law has been flagrant-ly violated by the leaders of severalfactions 1n the party, but we mean todo all we can to prevent federal offi-cials from taking an active part in thecampaign."

Fraser explained, quite gratuitously,that Ellery did not enjoy the supportof any federal office holder.

-Frank Miller,boss of Riverside coun-ty and famous as mine host at theGlenu-ood, Riverside, may be the or-E.-jnlz&tion's man In a bottle for FrankFlint's berth in the United States sen-ate. Miller is not the three star figureon a program yet, but his name is be-ing whispered among the machine meo.Miller is one of Huntington's closestpolitical friends, and if need be couldopen a sack of senatorial proportionswithout recourse to his friends.
