A merry crowd filled the grounds all week, and those who came to aid the teachers left carrying away none but happy recollections. , It is hoped | that to-day will be the banner day of | the week, and there is an excellent programme arranged. The chief attraction will be in the main theater, where the Columbia | | Park Boys' Club, under the direction of Sidney S. Peixotto, will give an old-time minstrel show. Any one who has seen these clever chaps on the | stage will appreciate the treat in store | | for them.

The inquest on the bodies of Frederick Finsten and Harry Curran was held yesterday and the following verdict was rendered: We furth e to thelr. death owing to h the o being operated mpetent emplove of the United mpany; that such employe's ex- had been too brief to enable him to andle a car crowded to over its safe and we hold the United Railway responsible for the accident. ommend that legislation be enacted requiring the substitution of gate cars for the | so-called cpen cnd cars on all electric lines, and that all street cars, both electric and ca- ble. be equipped with modern air brakes. The motorman accused by the jury of being an “incompetent employe” was T. G. Reed. The conductor was E. A. Kelly. The testimony was to the effect that Reed had been acting as motorman for about six months; that in order to check the great speed of the car as it was approaching the curve he put on the rail brake, which brought the car to a sudden stop and jolted from the dummy the two men who were passengers on the car were injured. It appeared also that the car on which air brakes and had been put in service | by the company to assist in handling the large crowds frequenting the park and ocean beach on Sundays. It was the impression. among the jurors that if the motorman had not used the rail brake the accident would not have occurred. ———— Tmpersonates Doctor. A physician’s diploma from the Georgia University, bearing the name of Thomas Judson Parks, was found i the possession of Archie Hutchin- son, an ex-soldier, who was brought last night from Jefferson Square Park, Emergency Hospital. At first he said he was Dr. Parks and told a wild story. Hutchinson was brought to the hospital on September 17 suffering from a blow on the head, which he | sald was inflicted by Samuel Aaron. | He refuses to say where he got the diploma. gt Police Give Banguet.

Wood Succeeds in Proving Her Accusations Against Paying Teller DEATH BEATS DIVORCE S ‘ Judge Hebbard Sets Aside Decrees Entered After Decease of Defenda.nt% —— | After a hearing occupying the entire | afternoon in Judge Graham's court yes- | terday a divorce was granted to Ada ! | M. Wood from John R. Wood, paying | | teller of the Crocker-Woolworth Na- | | tional Bank, on the ground of infidelity. | C. W. Durbrow represented the plain- | tiff, and Wood's case was conducted by | | Charles J. Heggerty. i { Mrs. Wood testified that she had ‘.tound three letters from Mrs. Tyler in | Mr. Wood's trousers pocket, and be- ’cause of their contents she left their home in Mill Valley and came here to i live with her parents. The epistles were | read in court and were fuli of endear- | ing terms. The testimony of John E. Powers, | special agent for the North Shore Rail- road, and of S. W. Churchill, a clerk for the H. S. Crocker Company, was | based upon observations made by them | through a transom of a room adjoining | the one occupied by the teller and his | companion at the Commercial Hotel on | various dates in June. | | Wood was examined only as to the | condition of his finances. He said he | had lost his position in June because of the notoriety arising from the di- vorce action, and ¥ taken back in the bank’s employ in September at a salary of $150 instead of $275, which he had received before, though he is now performing the same dutie His home in Mill Valley, he said, w ld for a debt and he has no property. His evi- dence regarding the discharge from the | bank was corroborated by Cashier ‘Gemg? W. Kline and the deposition of Assistant Cashier Wellington Gregg. The court ordered that Mrs. Wood | should be paid $50 a month alimeny, | $150 counsel fees and $50 costs. | NO DIVORCE FROM THE DEAD. | Judge Hebbard yesterday set aside the interlocutory and absolute | decrees of divorce ordered<entered by himself in the case of Amy E. Grace against Joseph H. Grace. The defend- | | ant in the case died on August 22 last and on September 14 Leon Samuels, representing the mother and sister of the dead husband in the probate court, moved that the decrees be entered, his purpose being to shut the wife out from | participating in the $3000 estate. Mrs. Grace was granted an interloc- utory decrée of divorce on the ground of cruelty on May 20, 1903, but for some | reason the decree was never entered in | the clerk’s office. Samuels obtained the ‘ order for an entry of the interlocutory, | | nune pro tunc and for the entry of the final decree more than three weeks after the defendant's death. The cir- cumstances were called to Judge Heb- bard’s notice by Mrs. Grace's motion to have the decrees set aside, saying that | her desires had not been consulted. In | his written opinion the Judge says: | “There is no law that compels the plaintiff in a divorce case to obtain a decree when she does not desire it, and particularly in a case where the de- fendant has died prior to the® entry thereof. Divorce proceedings interest | only the plaintiff, the defendant and the State of California. Interference by any one else will not be tolerated by the court.” Judge Kerrigan yesterday granted a divorce to Flora Karlson from David Karlson, who owns second hand furni- ture stores on Mission and Market streets. She charged him with assault- ing her with chairs, iron bars and other weapons and sald that he only allowed her fifty cents a day for the purchase of food. Karlson entered a general de- nial of the accusations tarough his at- torney, Julius Kahn, but did not ap- pear in court to oppose the case. HUSBAND A BIGAMIST. Virginia H. Barker obtained from Judge Murasky. sitting for Judge Sloss | yesterday, an order annulling her mar- | riage with Benjamin F. Germain, who has been held to answer for bigamy. The ceremony was performed May 17 jast, Judge J. J. Van Nostrand officiat- ing. Less than a month later Germain deserted her and on July 10 she learned that he had married another woman in | Oregon City last year.
