Funeral of Veteran Paymaster
The funeral of Charles J. ROBINSON, for almost forty years a Southern Pacific employe, who died in San Mateo Monday, took place Wednesday afternoon at 2 o’clock from his late residence. Burial, Cypress Lawn Cemetery. ROBINSON had been sick for about two months, and asthma and heart failure were causes contributing to his death.
ROBINSON was born in Aurora, Ill., December 14, 1845, and was the son of an attorney, who later became a counsel for the Central Pacific. He entered the Central Pacific shops at Sacramento in 1868, and worked his way up through the auditor’s department to the position of assistant paymaster for the Southern Pacific, which he held when he retired. He leaves a widow and three sons and three daughters.

Speeder Jailed by Judge Davis
San Bruno, July 23 – “Justice is sometimes cruel!”” tearfully exclaimed the 18-year-old bride of Edward Levene of San Francisco, as Judge John F. Davis of the first township, sentenced her husband to serve five days in the county jail, with an alternative of paying a fine of $50 on the charge of automobile speeding.
The offender was originally arrested several weeks ago for speeding and failed to appear in court when his case was called. Judge Davis issued a bench warrant for him. Realizing the seriousness of failure to appear in court as at first directed, Levene motored down to the courtroom with his girl wife. Mrs. Levene, in the role of Portia, pleaded that the case be dropped.
Levene was taken to jail, as he did not have the requisite cash. Subsequently the fine was paid.
