Australian Minister Claims Divorce Obtained by His Wife Should Be Set Aside SLURS AMERICAN LAWS Files Notice That He Will Ask Judge Hebbard to Re- verse Decision in Case Isaac Selby, the Australian minister, lecturer, debater, author, solicitor, teacher and insurance agent, from whom Theresa Beatrice Selby obtained a decree of divorce in Judge Hebbard's court last January, is dissatisfled with the judgment of the court. He filed a dealer, 1824 Page street; John G. Hasshagen, retired grocer, 2200 Grove | street; Henry Muus, grocer, Powell and Clay streets; John Blake, car- penter and builder, 131 Page street; Peter Shannon, retired non-commis- sioned army officer, 1228 Union street; James Gibney, insurance agent, 1339 Laguna street; Julian R. Fairweather, | carpenter, 407 Steiner street; Bernard ! Gallagher, retired ship chandler, 1179 | These twelve men will sit in judg- ! ment upon Jacob Eppinger, the erst- while grain king, who is charged by the International Banking Company with obtaining money under false pre- tenses. The trial on a criminal charge | is the outgrowth of the failure of the firm of Enpinger & Co. about one vear ago. The failure “looked bad” to the men on the street and an investigation and the indictment of Jacob Eppinger | followed. The work of selecting the jury has proceeded very slowly, occupying the | court for three days. Attorneys Ach, Shortridge and Dunne for the defense fought hard to have the entire panel diemissed on technical grounds, but the court overruled their objections and the work of selecting talesmen Each prospective juror was put through a most rigid exami- nation by the defense, while the prose- | cution passed the majority with but | few interrogations. The defense was particularly care- | ful to keep men out of the jury box who were connected in any manner with the banking Institutions of the | city and might thus be prejudiced | against the defendant. The question | was repeatedly asked: “If you knew the banks of this city had combined | to prosecute this defendant, would it influence you in any manner?” Aside from the reference to a combination of bankers no intimation has as yet | been given as to what lines the defense | will follow. | The taking of testimony will begin | There should be a law to prohibit peo- | ple from impersonating actors on the stage. at 10 o’clock to-morrow morning. ‘ | his opinion, notice yesterday that he would on Fri- day next appear before Judge Hebbard and ask that the decree be declared null and veid on the ground that it was obtained because he, as his own attor- ney, did not have sufficient knowledge of the law to present his case or to pro- duce evidence in refutation of that of | his wife. Accompanying Selby’s notice that he will move to set aside the decree of di- vorce is a long statement in his own handwriting of the facts that led up to the difference between himself and his wife. It contains many refliections on American courts and laws, and- sets fortd that the petitloner does not think it a crime to be poor. He says Robert Louis Stevenson Wwas once poverty- stricken, and that therefore it could not be considered that he (Selby) dis- graced himself when he became poor. He claims also that his wife should not be allowed to plead his poverty as a ground for divorce, and says that, in when poverty overtakes a husband it is the wife's duty to help him until such time as he again be- comes self-supporting. SUES McRAE. Mrs. Selby secured her divorce on the ground of neglect, proving to the satis- faction of Judge Hebbard that her hus- band, though a jack of all trades, was master of none, and was therefore a poor provider. She showed that she had to keep a lodging-house in order to support herself and two children. Her ! suit for divorce was brought after Sel- by had sued Donald McRae, the furni- ture man, who owns the lodging-house kept by Mrs. Selby, for $50,000 damages for alienating the affections of Mrs. Selby. Aunie Steck, who secured a divorce from Paul Steck in February, 1900, filed notice to her former husband and his attorneys yesterday that she demands | that he pay her the alimony awarded in her decree. She says he owes her $1050, never having paid anything since the divorce was granted. John R. McDonald, an employe of the United States Government, is the de- fendant in a suit for divores brought by She charges neglect, Ella McDonald.

Fumigation is consid- ered a necessity in the case of vessels | coming from the nitrate ports, and on | Friday morning the quarantine author- ities started sulphur smudges in the Auldgirth’s cabins and ordered that the places being smoked be kept closed un- til further orders. When Dr. Cumming boarded the vessel yesterday, intending to release her, he found that those aboard had managed the fumigation to suit themselves. They had opened the doors and released the germ-destroying fumes. No official administering fed- eral laws at this port is more cour- teous than Cumming, but when the occasion defnands he knows how to put down a number six shoe so that it sounds like a plledriver. He ordered the Auldgirth into quarantine, and in-’ | stead of the mild, almost formal, fumi- gation at first prescribed the bark will be given the third degree, with smoke | of double strength. 1 Brinkerhoff. walnut case, wu vs Zeck, was $300 . ........................ gg Hallet & Davis, was $400. 1 Briikerhoff. oak, ‘was $285.now 31 THAYER. 1 3 Thayer Pianos, mahogany, were $250 ch .+ e sMOW 3107 1 1 Thayer. walnut, was 3250 .now 8167 | 1 Pianola, was 8"60 DRAPER. 9 Harmonists, were $275 1 Draper, mahogany, was $265. .. now 1 1 -now 165 gan $300 o, s case, e ow 8158 |1 " was ssao..‘...g.
