Aécording to the divorce complaint filed by Mrs. Irma Sichel against | husband, Milton Sichel, marital infe- | licity made-its appearance on the horizon | ' of their wedded happiness hardly before | the words which had made them one had ! died away. Cruelty is the ground upon | which Mrs. Sichel seeks an annuiment of | the marriage ties, and she alleges that the first specific act occurred on the night of the wedding at the wedding supper. he couple were married on December 31, | 1902. At the wedding reception,: held at mg Erie street, in the presence of the many ! invited guests at supper Mrs. Sichel al- | leges that husband of but a few | hours, for no reason whatever, in a loud | and abusive tone consigned her to the in- | fernal regions and told her to shut up. In | | her endeavor to pacify and quiet him, ne alleges, he remarked, “Shut up; don’t you call me dowm or TI'll break your| face.” 1In consequence of his conduct | Mirs. Sichel states that she was 8o un-| nerved that she was compelled to retire | to her apartment. She further alleges that he applied vile | epithets to her after the guests had de- | parted and threatened to strike her, at | the same time remarking, “T'll quit you, and you can go to work.” The plaintift avers that she is a nervous wreck from | his continued abuse, and she fears that | her heaith has been permanently affected. | Mrs. Sichel petitions that she be allowed | to resume her maiden name of Irma Vo- | | gel.

H. McCarthy Has Deserted Their Cause. Claim He Is Now Arrayed Against Roofing Ordinance. R There is a storm brewing in labor circles | between P. H. McCarthy and his asso-! ciates on a committee recently appointed | by the Buiiding Trades Council to oppose | the proposed rouing ordinance on one side | and the master and journeymeén metal roofers on the other. A special committee of the Board of Supervisors, consisting of Supervisors Brandenstein, Loughery and Wilson, will meet at the Mayor's office this afternoon at 2 o’clock to consider the various phases of the proposed ordinance which is being fathered by the metal roof- ers in general and Martin Hughes in par- ticular. Hughes was appointed with P. H. McCarthy by the late L. J. Dwyer, who was a member of the last Board of Supervisors, to draft an ordinaice cov- ering the roofing question within the fire | limits. Hughes claims that McCarthy acted with him for several months, but recently the latter took a change of heart on the roofing question and is now op- pesed to any ordinance which has for its object the stimulation of the metal roof- ing business. TVEITMOE WRITES LETTER. At a recent meeting the Building Trades Council appointed McCarthy, O. A. Tveit- moe and Treasurer John McDougald. who s member of the Marble Cutters’ Union, a committee to state the Council’s attitude on the propesed roofing ordi- | nance. The following letter, which was mailed to each member of the Board of Svpervisors by O. A. Tvéitmoe, secretary of the Building Trades Council, has caused considerable indignation among the metal roofers and when the matter | is taken up at the Mayor's office to-day iively times are expected: January 12, 1903. Dear Sir: Pursuant to instructions of the | Building Trades Council of San Francisco, I | beg to call your attention to the fact that a few men employed by somebody and claiml by resolution and otherwise the support of cer: tain unions engaged in the building business. | led by one Mr. Hughes, who presented to some | members of your honorable body a notoriously | designed amendment with & view to supple- | menting it for the original clause in the build- | ing ordinance yertaining to rogfing, in which | he shuts out everything within the fire limits, unless it be metal, slate, tile or terra cotta, | & a complete monopoly to a very small coterie of employers to the exclusion of the thousands who have been and are now com- petitors in,that line of bustness, as the car- penters dealing with shingled roofs and the felt and composition roofers, who have at ali | imes and places, both within and beyond the | fire limits, participated in this work, but whom this proposed amendment would completely annihilate and place the small property holder | in the grasp of what might be weil called | the most complete trust ever instituted, thus | preventing the thousands of smaH property | holders Within such district from improving their holdings and forcing them to sell out in | favor of the more wealthy purchaser of such | property; hence the danger to the poor man. | The Building Trades Council unanimousiy condemns said change, and request that you and the other members of your honerable board adopt the ordinance, or that part of .t submitted by the commitiee, said committee being composed of architects, builders and journeymen mechanics from many departments of the building industry. _Very sincerely and respectfully yours, 0. A. TVEITMOE. HUGHES MAKES REPLY. Martin Hughes said last night: The above letter was written without the authority of the Building Trades Council. McCarthy was acting on our committee until a short time ago and now he is out against the proposed ordinance. The letter misrep- resents things very unjustly. In the first place the ordinance the metal roofers are in- | terested in has not as yet been submitted to the Board of Supervisors. There is no sug- gestion of creating a monopoly in our business | in the ordfmance which we will propose. It | is drafted to coi the" fire ordinance | angd is a fair meffure. We have proven that | a “composition roof is not fire proof and we | propose to see, if possible, that no more are placed on buildings within the fire limlits. The carpenters will not be affected by the proposed ordinance any more than they were under the old fire limit law. After a build- ing has been damaged 40 per cent by fire the law does not allow the owner to put on | a shingled roof. We are mot trying to create | a movopoly. All we want to do Is to et an ordinance passed by the Board of Supervisors which will conform to the fire laws, CLEARLY DEMONSTRATES PROSPERITY OF TIMES Year's Gain of City’s Savings Banks 4 in Assets and Deposits Is Unprecedented.

It was then the second man's turn to shoot, and Miss Wight loaded the weapon for him. As the second man took the revolver his finger probably came in contact with the trigger, and the weapon was discharged. The bullet entered Miss | Wight's right breast and passed through the right lung, lodging in her bagk. The shooter, fearing that serious damage had been done, immediately dropped the re- | volver and made his escape down Dupont street, his companion remaining on the | scene some time, but later disappeared. | Miss Wight staggered from behind the | { Fivie of 319 Grant avenue took charge of | her and assisted her to a grocery store | at the corner of Pine and Dupont streets. | An ambulance was called and the wound- ed woman was removed to the Central Emergency Hospital, where Dr. Harvey the officers appeared. | Dr.- Harvey of the Central Emergency | Hospital stated last night that the| wounds would not necessarily prove mmi unless complications set in.

T0 DENUNCIATION University President De- nies Suggesting Tui- tion Fees. Resolutions of the Fedefated Trades Bring Forth.- Quick Defense. Oakland Office San Francisco Call, 1118 Broadway, Jan. I The Federated Trades Council of Ala- meda County has adopted resolutions de- nouncing President Benjamin Ide Wheeler of the University of California for the al- leged suggestion that a tuition fee. be | charged students at that institut { It is set forth in the resolutions that the working people of t ate can only construe the suggestion as a “direct siap at them,” with the intention of prevent- Ang their children entering the institution. It is resolved that the Governor and leg- islators be appealed to for protection, an thet a tuition fee should be charged aliens only. President Wheeler, in reply. flatly de- nies that he ever suggested the charging of tuition fees. He-says the action of the Labor Council was based on an erron press dispatch and that he did not suggest hat a tuition fee be charged. The plan of charging a tuition fee has nét been considered and nothing in his report sug- gests such a charge, he says.

SCOTT’S EMULSION. 37 70 63 That's the proper propor- tion of animal and mineral matter in the bones of a healthy child — thiry-seven per cent. animal and sixty-, three per cent. mineral. The bones of the average rickety child show about seventy-nine per cent. animal and twenty- one per cent. mineral matter, It’s this lack of sufficient mineral matter in the bones that makes a child have rick- ets. Deformities of the chest and head, bent legs and curved spine are some of the results of rickets. The disease is one of early life, and the first symptoms are shown in the digestive organs. Usually the appetite is poor and the child grows dull and fretful. There are pains in the limbs and joints. The pulse beats quicker and the veins become slightly swollen; gradually the whole body be- comes tender and the face shows signs of waste, de; sion and weariness. hen, the action of the disease be~ gins in the bones. The legs are first to show the effects when they fail to support the child properly. As a matter of fact, the bones cease to grow at this stage. Proper nourishment for the whole: body, and particularly for the, bones, is the best i treatment; in fact, it is the only treatment. Scott’s Emulsion is there- fore the natural remedy for rickets, as pure cod livér oil is the most effective of all remedies for this disease. The h hites of lime and contained in Scott's’ Emulsion feed the bones and furnish them with the means to grow It also helps the gx tion and pro- vides nourishment that can- not be secured so well in any other way. It quickly enables the rickety child to make up lost gr und, and insures a healthy, natural growth. Be- _#ng as palatable as cream and more nutritious, Scott’s Emul- sion is easily accepted by the { most delicate stomach. do just what we say it will :‘a.
