'In the Sixth Ward, where the club was formed, there is quite a number-of- Russian Jews, and they are anxious to disprove certain rumors cir- culated ‘regarding them, and Dr. Fried- lander, who is not the rabbi of that con- gregation, would probably have done bet- ter had he encouraged them instead of speaking as he has done.” - %@ Mrs.’ Simons Sues for Divorce.

Oakland Office San Francisco Call, 908 Broadway, Sept. 20. Mrs. Mary Flaherty, who has frequently been a party to suits in the Police Court, has been toying, so he says, with the heart of John Gregg, a laborer of Temes- cal. Gregg and the widow have been mak- ing love to each other for several months, and now Gregg is out over $250 on the Justice’s Court to bring the lady to time. John Gregg filed a complaint this after- noon, in which he alleges that Mrs. Fla- herty agreed to marry him, but that after he had advanced her over $250 she broke the agreement. Now, because he cannot have the widow, he wants the money. The complaint alleges that in May, two years ago, Gregg and Widow Flaherty agreed to ‘marry, but were cautious enough to reserve the right to rescind their contract upon notice to the other of such éntention. In such - event, it was agreed, so the complaint says, th store to plaintiff all moneys and proper- ties given to her by Gregg. To be very exact, Gregg says that the money, goods and labor with which he has furnished her are worth $268 55. It appears that about the time of the agreement the comely widow was nego- tiating for a pension, and after learning that In the event of her marriage her pen- Encinal street. sion would cease she served Gregg with a h verbal notice that the agreement o marry | 2 Strons protest against permitting the | within must be forgotten.
