without her parents’ consent to Daniel H. McCONNELL, in 1904. She brought a 
suit of annulment on that ground and for cruelty, and yesterday Judge SHIELDS

cruel to his young wife.

	RELIEF SOCIETIES GRAND COUNCIL
Business Sessions Yesterday - Grand Reception Last Night - Election of Grand 
Officers - Last Session
 The grand council of the Catholic Ladies’ Relief societies resumed its session 
yesterday morning and received reports called for under the schedule of the 
organization and passed upon them. A letter of congratulation and good wishes 
was received from Young Ladies’ Institute No. 48, and with prayers for its 
future success.
  The annual election was then held, with this result: Grand president, Mrs. 
Lucy BERG, Marysville; grand Vice-president, Mrs. F.D. RYAN, Sacramento; grand 
treasurer, Mrs. M. FLANNERY, Marysville; grand recording secretary, Miss Ella 
CHINN, Sacramento; grand marshal, Mrs. E.C. GORMAN, Sacramento; grand board of 
directors, Miss Eliza WITTENBROCK, Mrs. M. SHORROCK, Mrs. F. McKEARNEY, 
Sacramento.
  In the evening a grand reception was given at the E.B. Crocker art gallery. 
About 350 guests were present. The art room was beautifully dressed with floral 
wealth - not overdone, for the classical chamber will not bear heavy 
embellishment of the decorative order usually effected by use of evergreens, 
drapery, or even flowers.
  There were small tables provided for those who chose cards and conversation, 
and the floor was clear for those who wished to dance to the music of the 
Steppan-Lewis orchestra.
  There was a programme, brief but excellent. A mixed quartette composed of 
Mrs. COPPERSMITH, Mrs. HAWLEY, R.T. COHN and J.G. GENSHLEA sang “Voices of 
Spring”; Miss Irma SHEHAN sang “Dear Heart,” and for an encore “Pretty Maid 
Milking the Cow.”  Mrs. Walter LONGBOTTON sang the Scotch ballad, “Leezie 
Lindsay,” and for an encore “Come Back to Erin,” with orchestral accompaniment.
  IN the 500 game J. GORMAN won the first prize, Mrs. FLANNERY of Marysville 
the ladies prize, and Mrs. N.G. PHELPS the guest prize.
  In convenient corners were tables with light refreshments. There were no 
floor directors, the guests being given to understand that the affair was 
informal and they were to consider themselves at home in the fullest sense of 
the words.
  Ladies in large number were attentive to the guests and every endeavor was 
made, without effusive manifestation of hospitality, to make all present feel 
that they had profited socially by attending. It was an entirely successful 
affair, excellently managed and thoroughly enjoyed.
  The council will hold its concluding session this morning at Serra Hall.

	Appeals on Writ
 A writ of habeas corpus was filed yesterday in the appellate court looking to 
release of L.B. SHEARER and Edward CONIFF ,who are held in the county jail at 
Napa awaiting trial on a charge of stealing diamonds from a woman. The writ is 
taken on the grounds that the defendants were not in Napa at the time the 
diamonds were stolen and that the evidence on which they are held is 
insufficient.
