SOME OPPOSITION T0 COAST ROAD Mission Improvement Clubs | UDITOR ASSAILS BOARD OF TRADE Says It Has No Right to Meddle in Collection of Claims. —_— Auditor Wells is greatly incensed at the effort made by the Board of Trade to in- terfere in the proposed movement on foot | to pay off the city’s indebtedness. Wells received a circular yesterday signed by F. W. Eaton, the surviving member of the committee representing what is desig- nated as the “assoclated creditors of the city and county of San Franeisco,” in which the creditors are requested to file thelr claims with the secretary of the Board of Trade for purposes of collec- tion. Attached to the circular is the fol- lowing agreement to be signed by such | creditors; And we do hereby severally agree that mot to exceed 25 per cent of the amounts of our respective claims so collected shall be retained by H. L. Smith to compensate and fully sat- isfy all of the expenses incurred by the com- mittee appointed at a meeting of the merchant creditors held August 17, 1596. | The circular says that as the constitu- tional provision limits the entire payment to $500,000, and the Auditor reports the claims to be $600,000, it will be necessary to authorize the walving of interest and to assign the sum of $100,000 in order to meet the expenses. “I cannot see how the Board of Trade | has anything to do with this affair,” sald | Auditor Wells. “I shall certainly 'resent | its interference in a matter which con- cerns only the Board of Supervisors and the Auditor. These claims are on record in my office, and all that is necessary In order to recelve payment on them is to make a proper presentation of them. I certainly discountenance the paying of any commission for thelir collection, as I | have already expressed myself regarding teachers' claims. The Board of Trade will not help matters in any way, and it might just as well abandon all idea of so doing, " It is in error when it states that the claims amount to more than $600,000. My figures, recently published, place the ggregate indebtedness at between $300,- 000 and $400,000. Regarding teachers’ claims, T hold that they cannot be paid in their present shape out of the surplus fund. An agreement must be had with the Board of Supervi- sors, which will permit them to be put in judgment. The city may then waive an appeal and the surplus fund be used for | the purpose indicated, “Regarding City Attorney Lane's optin- jon that the surplus fund can only be used for municipal betterment, I take the stand that no better use can be made of the surplus fund of this year than to pay ths city’s indebtedness. If the debt is to be paid at all there is no way in which it would be felt less by the taxpayers. Un- less the present surplus fund is so used no part of the old indebtedness of the city will be paid during the term of the pres- ent city officials. It is right that this money should be so expended, and such action would be approved by the people. To withhold payment longer now that we have the money is disgraceful.” Dr. E. H. Mattner has returned from Europe and resumed practice at 55 Van Ness avenue. / A. Hermann, C. C. Patridge, N. H. ELITE PARLOR'S ANNUAL DANCE Stanford No. 76 of the Na- tive Sons Gives a Grand Ball Novel Effect in Decorations, Chinese Banners and Flags—Music From Opera of “Chan Tow.” e Stanford Parlor No. 76, the elite parlor of the Native Sons of the Golden West, gave its fifteenth anniversary ball in the main hall of the Native Sons’ building, last night, and it proved to be the best of the many soclal functions that this parlor has given. The decorations, by A. F. Schleicher, one of the members, were the most unique ever seen in the hall. The | mural effects and those on the gallery and the stage were Chinese—that is, banners, flags and draperies aruistically arranged, | while in the center hung a dream of deco- rative art fllumined by seventy electric | ngement, novel in a bali- | lights. The ar room, was most enchanting and won the commendations of all who were in the room. The members of the several cori- mittees, in lieu of the ordinary badges, wore long silken tassels of different coi- ors, according to the commi.tee on which they served. And to carry the Oriental idea still further the orchestra played as an introductory to the grand march a se- lection from the Chinese opera of “Chan Tow" that was composed for the Dowager Empress of China. Owing to the unavoidable absence of Willlam D. Hynes, floor director, the grand march was led by Bruce Cornwall, his assistant, and Miss Florence Scatena. Every one who was in (he march was at- tired In full evening dr many of the gowns worn by the ladies being the wcme of modiste's designs. Those who composed the floor commit- tee were Arthur W. Dollard, Alfred J. Fritz, Joseph W. Hardiman, Daniel O'Cal- laghan, Thomas P. Ryan, A. F. Schieich- er, 8. O. Stanyan, J. J. Van Nostrand, Henry Van Valkenburgh and P. J.

JOSEPHINE HAYDEN GETS HUSBAND BACK Judge Sets Aside Decree of Divorce on Ground That They Were Living Together at the Time It Was Issued 2 has set aside against Jose- action for di- UDGE KERRIGAN the default entered phine Hayden in the vorce Instituted by Edwin Hay- den, manager of the Hayden Packing Company, and the brief freedom enjoyed by the plaintiff under the decree is at an end. Mrs. Hayden asserts that the decree of divorce was procured by her husband through fraud; that while he was quietly proceeding against her in the courts they were living together, and, she thought, happily. Under the order made by Judge Kerrigan she is granted the right to file answer to Hayden’s com- | plaint, join the issues and present her de- | fense. The litigants were married In this city in 1889, For several years they lived con- tentedly together, but one night there was a quarrel. Mrs. Hayden, who is now re- siding in a rooming house at Stockton street and Broadway, alleges that her husband packed her trunks, jostled them out of their home, 1527 California street, and ordered them taken to a lodging house on.Turk and Taylor streets, where he informed her she would henceforth make her residence. There was nothing | for her to do but to obey. Not long after this incident Hayden filed suit for divorce. He charged her with having improper relations with Charles D. Cole. Being ignorant of the fact that the divorce suit was being pressed by her husband, she says he came to see her. She explained that she was practically penniless, they adjusted their differences, she claims, and again re- | sumed the relations of husband and wife. ‘While still living together she claims' he entered a default against her in his suit for divorce, produced testimony in sup- port of his charges against her and se- cured his decree. Then, she says, he | abandoned her, left her penniless, and her | trunks_are now held by the boarding- | house keeper to secure the payment of her bill. After telling her story in court vester- day Judge Kerrigan ordered the decr!;e e then heard testimony on her application for alimony in the sum of a_month costs of actlon and counsel fees. She te: tified_that from his Interest in the Hay den Packing Company he received a monthly income of $500. . Hayden took the stand and denled her allegations. He sald he only had sufficient money for his own immediate needs and could not pay the sum demanded by Mrs. Hayden. The court will hear further testimony next Hayden is the plaintiff’'s second P. F.

He was told to report for duty last even- ing, his elec‘)_:ers having relented and de- cidéd to give him another opportunity. He was not seen about the stables after that time, but made his way to the barn unobserved at a late hour and hanged h‘i‘-’[‘"‘fiflt ative of Germany, 45 t as a n: g years old, and was married.

She posi- tively denles his charge that she was un- faithful, and says she will prove that she is the wronged member of the Hayden household when the case is next called for hearing. MRBS. JONES ASKS COURT TO HEAR DIVORCE SUIT She Dismissed It Recently Upon the Promise of Her Husband to Be Good. Mrs. Mary Jones, who conducts the Lee- palmer lodging-house, O'Farrell and Ma- =on streets, has petitioned Judge HebbarJ to reopen the action for divorce she re- cently instituted against Amos M. Jones. Mrs. Jones was wedded on April 17 last, in Marin County, after a brief courtship. Jomes is many years the junior of the lady and, though this is not given as the cause, | they did not get along happily together. | On December 11 last . Jones flled sult for divorce, alleging cruelty. Jonea finally convinced his wife that if given another chance he would make her happy. | She believed him and dismissed her suit | for divorce. The secret of the dismissal was disclosed yesterday, when Mrs. Jones asked that the case be Teopened. In her affidavit she says that she abandoned her suit for divorce upon the promise of her husband to treat her with kindness and consideration. She condoned his past of- fenses, but now alleges that he soon for- got his promises and on January 14 last beat her severely. This forced her to ths conclusion that life with him was un- bearable. Hence the motion to reopen the suit. i ek G2 In the'Divorce Court. Decrees of divorce were granted yester- day tognez Pate from Walter G.

Very Few Peopl:-zlt a Good Break- “All I want for breakfast is a roll and a cup of coffee.” This remark is heard not only in hotels, restaurants and lunch rooms, but it is the usual breakfast order in thé home circle as well. After a twelve hours’ fast it would seem that the first meal of the day should be a hearty, substantial one, and if we all lived natural, unartificial lives. it would be ¥o, but none of us do, ence breakfast is a inere pretense. Says a latter-dar vhilosopher: “During many years of active business life, I never remember having eaten a good, substan- tial breakfast, but supposed it was of no importance until I began to lose appetite for lunch and dinner. “My physician told me I was a victim of nervous dyspepsia and must take rest and recreation, as no medicine would reach the trouble, but this advice I could not follow, as my business affairs would not permit it, and to got relief I resorted to medicines and prescrlyuons. and it was purely accidental that I hit upon one rem- edy which did the business. While in a drug store one eveninz I noticed a number of people buying Stuart's Dyspepsia Tab- lets, a widely advertised preparation for stomach troubles, and the force of ex- ample was too much for me and I bought a fifty-cent package. “'I took a tablet or two after each meal, and in a week my appetite picked up, I began to. feel my old ambition for work returning and could eat a good breakfast Pecause T wanted it, and from that (ime to this I take Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets as regularly as I take my meals, not be- cause I now have auy trouble with my stomach, but because I don’t want to ave. “A fifty-cent box of Stuart's Tablets will last me a month and keep my diges- tion in good order, and I know of no bet- ter investment a business man can make.” WESSON ODORLESS COORKING e WANTS A GUARDIA FOR HIS FATHER ———.— — James B.

JUDGE COFFEY SETTLES W. D. FARREN'S ACCOUNT Executor of fowleri!mte Says He ‘Will Adjust All Claims Against Him. W. D. Farren, executor of the will of the late D. D. Fowler, was befors Judge Coffey yesterday to explain the cause of his absence from this city and his eva- sion of the court’s order to account for the property placed in his keeping. Far- ren was apparently in a repentant mood, but he said little. He produced his final account as executor of the Fowler estate, in which he charged himself with $3000. He stated that he has securities in bank, and with what money he could command all claims of the estate against him would be adjusted. Decedent’s heirs and devisees expressed themselves as satisfled with the arrange- ments Farren had made to turn over the estate and counsel did the same. Judge Coffey, however, refused to let the matter stand thus. Addressing Farren he sald he felt he had violated the confildence of the court: In fact, had treated it most contemptuously. In view of the stand the heirs and attorneys had taken, however, the matter would be permitted to rest, the account would be settled and plans for. the future management of the estates adopted. The order settling the account was made, and Farren, accompanied by his attorney, left the building. —_——————— Personal. Governor Gage and wife are at the Palace Hotel.
