This great source of wealth is under the control of your law-making body.

The ordinance designed to prohibit the maintenance of stone quarries within the in the vicinity of Clipper and Douglass strects was considered by the Board of Supervisors yesterday. Curtiss asked that a night session be held in order to give every one a chance to be heard. Wynn called attention to the { fact that there were some 200 men walit- | plcyment owing to cessation of work as a result of | crushing. Eggers sald that pecause men are out of work is a good reason for dis- | posing of the matter at once and the con- | sideration of the ordinance followed. Martin Stevens, representing the con- crete workers, stated that several hund- | red men had been out of employment since Wednesday because of the contem- | platea prohibition of rock-crushing. | " Braunhart demanded to know why the | owners of rock-crushing plants had re- | fused to supply rock and thus paralyze | the bufiding industry. G. Wetmore of Cushing-W Company more { would mature about the time the prohibt- | tory ordinance would go into effect, as his | firm did not desire to be compelled to go BILL TO GO INTO EFFECT. Braunhart's amendment that the bill go |nto effect six months after its passage was adopted in order to give the rock- | plying rock if they so desired. Willlam White, attorney for petitioners that rock-crushing be restricted, told of the dangers resulting from such opera- tions by flying rocks, choking up of sew- ers and clouds of dust that blow in the vicinity, Mrs. Barstow of 214 Union | street charged Gray Bros. the houses on Telegraph Hill by blasting operations and then buying the property | at its decreased value. A number of other | women testified that thejr houses were | the blasting of Gray: being destroyed by | Brothers. | Harry Gray stated that if the ordinance went into effect In six months he would and could not sell rock outside of thes centracts. Gray sald that the unemployed concrete workers were not present at his in.stigation, but had come on their own responsibility. WANTS MEN TO GO TO WORK. | Curtis asked that the contractors per- mit the men to go back to work pending | the settlement of the question. M. Keat- | ing, a contractor employing thirty men, | seid his men would go back to work if he could get rock. Braunhart said there was ro provocation for refusing to furnish rock because no actlon restricting the | business had been taken by the Board ff | Supervisors. Attorney Stevens sald if the ordinance would be passed to go into ef- fect one year from now the men would be put back to work at once. The board de- | ¢ided to meet next Thursday at 3:30 p. m. tu consider the matter further. The ordinance regulating the operation of rockcrushers by requiring the instal- lation of contrivances to collect the dust caused thereby was passed to print. TO STOP ASPHYXIATIONS. The board finally passed the ordinance to prevent asphyxiations by gas by pro- meter in any hotel, lodging-house or pr! sidence and requiring proper safe- to be put on gas fixtures. vate r gus | to be made out of the urgent nec | fund in yment to Joseph L as an option on the purchase of | premises now occupied by | police station. The total cost of | property is $34,000, and if the board de- | cides to purchase it an appropriation for | the balance of $33,000 will be made in the | rext budget. | The City Attorney opinion as to whether or not the board 1m, power to grant Henry E. Bothin a tranchise to run a line of automobiles on Van Ness avenue. # the Asa R. Wells was granted a permit to erect a five-story building on Ellis street, | to | near Taylor, and John.Garber one Sansome street, from Vallejo to Green. | The claim of M. F. Ake for $10,000, being | | for alleged damages sustained by the loss | of his wife, who was recently trampled | to death by engine horses, was rejected, on the ground that the matter is one for | judicial determination. The various city officials and Superin- tendents of public institutions were re- quested to file a list specifying supplies and stationery needed in their depart- ments for the next fiscal year. POLES ON CHURCH STREET. The resolution directing the Chief of the Department of Electricity to cancel the permit granted the United Railroads to erect a line of wooden poles on Church street and other streets for the transmis- slon of electrical power, untii such time as it can be determined under what au- ! thority or warrant of law the company is proceeding, was withdrawn, as the re- | sult of a communication from General Manager Chapman. The latter asked | that the matter remain in statu quo | i as to the legality of the corporation's proceedings and his request was granted. The communication continues: The United Railroads 1s desirous of carefully observing all lawful rules and regulations and | will gladly co-operate With your honorable | bedy in determining their rights and duties in the operation of their several street rallroad Jines. It may not be amiss to call your at- tention to the pressing need for increased | power in the operation of the United Raliroad | eystem, without which the public demand for | {ncreasea transportation facilities must be de- ayes Lapique Declared Sane. Jean Lapique was declared sane by a jury in Judge Lawlor's court yesterday afternoon, after hearing the testimony ot Drs. Lustig, McGettigan and Wadsworth, who had him under observation for a week at the insane ward, Central Emer- gency Hospital. Lapique has been in the County Jail for nearly five years. He was trifed on a charge of forgery in Judge Lunne's court and convicted. He appeal- ed to the Supreme Court, which reversed the judgment of the lower court and the case has been assigned to Judge Lawlor for retrial. The Judge wanted to be sat- isfied as to Lapique’'s sanity before going on with the trial, the date of which has not yet been set. Improved Train Schedule. Effective January 25, the Stockton local (Santa Fe) will leave San Francisco at 4 m. and arrive at Stockton at 7:10 p. m. ickets at 641 Market street. i etk s e Dramatic Recital.

' Judge Cook Complies With the Law, but Imposes Minimum Penalty. | Mrs. Francesca de la Guerra, who was | convicted on a charge of bigamy, was sentenced by Judge Cook yesterday to pay a fine of $150 and to serve one day in the State’s prison to satisfy the law. This 1si the shortest sentence of the kind on rec- | ord. The penalty for bigamy is a fine not | exceeding $20M and not more than three | years in the State's prison, and both must | De imposed. The fine in this case was to | cover the expenses of witnesses from a distance. Mrs. de la Guerra collapsed in | | court and had to be almost carried away | by her friends. The light sentence was | iImposed with the consent of the District Attorney, as both he and the Judge be- | lleved her when she testified that she had parted from W. A. Fitzgerald he had told her he would obtain a divorce from her | and she never doubted that he had carried out his word when she inarried Carlos de |1a Guerra in this city in May last. A motion for a new trial was made Sat- urday by Attorney Gould, which the; Judge denfed yesterday, but allowed a stay of ten days to enable Gould to ap- | peal to the Supreme Court, as a most in- | teresting point in regard to bigamy cases !is involved as to a husband testifying against his wife. In denying the motion the Judge said: | On the trial of this case the court In its rul- | ing and charge was governed by the followihg cases, which were treated as the laws of this State. notwithetanding the fact that other ju- risdictions have held to contrary doctrines, viz.: People vs, Stokes and cases in other States. I was at first In doubt whether the Hunter (a divorce case) Douglas did not case of Hunter vs and the case of People vs. overrule the Stokes case and other cases cited, | but an examination of the case of People vs. Boo Doo Hong convinced me that the rule ! lald down in the Stokes case stands as the law of this State and that this case is one of the exceptions to the rule mentioned In the Boo Doo Hong case, for if it were otherwise | this crime could never be proved; it certainly |'ought to be an exception, | If the testimony of the only witness by | whom can be established the negative fact of | no divorce is incompétent because the witness is the husband of the defendant it would | géem an absurdity to hold that the District Attorney must prove that he is still the hus- band because not divorced by producing the | records of every court from every State and | country where a divorce might possibly have been obtalned. | Divorce proceedings are purely statutory and | the natural presumption is—marriage having | been proved—that such status continues; it is | not ltke death. which must come to all—it is a mere possibility. The Hunter case refers to what is sald in the Stokes case relative to death, not di- vorce. There is no knowing where a divorce | might have been obtained, for the laws of all | States and countries differ, and residence even may not be required in some places, | But beyond this construction of the law this | motion must be denied, for, by objecting to tha | witness, Fitzgerald, testifying on the ground | that he was her husband. defendant admitted there an_existing marriage. | ADVEBTISEMENTB.
