Supervisors’ joint Street and Electricity committee yesterday rec- ommended a proposed ordinance pro- ing the deposit of oil drippings on the public streets from automo- biles, whether in motion or not. Tes- timony w adduced that the oil ac- cumulates in pools on certain streets, ecial on the block on Golden enue, between Scott and De- ero.streets, making it impossible rses to keep their footing. The committee thought some device should be placed on automobiles to catch the drippings, it being suggested that & pan or leather boot be used. The at- torney for automobile dealers object- ed to compelling the use of any par- cular device, as it would not entire- ly stop the dripping when the automo- bile is iIn motion. The committee thought the device would do away with most of the nuisance complained of and added a new section to the or- dinapee requiring a suitable device to be attached to automobiles for the purpose of preventing leaks, —_—— Wallace Wants to Die.

He presented figures to show that | previously there had been six sanitary | inspectors, and this number was cut down to four for the sake of effi~ ciency and economy; also that the appointment of Deputy Health Officer | Louis Levy effected a saving of su-| salaries of $6300, and had been by the change HO 000 a year, the deputy hnd th of r having taken the place of five men, and, further, when the Bupervisors made out the last budget it had by reason of this saving with- | held that sum from the Health De- | charge made that the partm Mr. ef argued that there was no Civil Service | Commission was corrupt or had con- FACES WITNESS| | spired, and since it was not made the | court must be bound by its action, as | was a quasi-judicial body estab- ed by the charter.

This scheme would break down civil service en- tirely, and if perpetuated there would not be a civil service man remaining in the municipal employ.” In reviewing the work'of the in- specting physicians, Lane sald they did little but tack up signs in re- sponse to telephone calls, and that a boy could be employed to do their work for $40 a month. The argument will be continued to- morrow. | 1 | DIVORCE SIT IS PROSPEROUS Husband Ts in Panama and |Members Highly Delighted Wife in Australia While Their Attorneys Try Case DEPOSITIONS ARE READ Doctor and Chorus Girl Do Not Tell the Same Story. Troubles of a Contractor A seafaring medico on board a steamer at Panama, and a chorus girl helping to amuse the public in Aus- tralia are the widely separated par- ties to a divorce suit, the trial of which was begun yesterday before Judge Kerrigan. Their absence may detract from visual interest in the case, but their lawyers are affording ample entertainment for the ear in the way of spicy depositions. The plaintiff is Dr. W. B. Estes, & ship physiclan who formerly practiced medicine and dentistry in this city. His wife was Myrtle Scott, who trod the boards at Fischer’s and went with the Kolb-Dill troupe to the antipodes. He charged her with cruelty. She entered denials, set up a recriminatory defense, and filed a cross-complaint accusing him of mistreatment. Her crogs-complaint was withdrawn by Attorney Martin Stevens at the open- ing of the trial yesterday, but he will fight the case to the end. Attorney Roy Hudson read Estes’ deposition in which the allegations of his complaint were elaborated into de- tails. They were married November 1, 1902. Some months afterward they separated, but on occasions made up and lived together for brief periods. In October, 1903, when she was living at the Winchester, she telephoned him en invitation to accompany her on a yachting trip. The yacht was to leave early in the morning. Shortly after that midnight she summoned two men, | had him bound and handcuffed and teken in an ambulance to Mrs. Atkin- scn's sanitarium on Sutter street. There he was placed behind bars. The night following she had him removed, as a dangerous case, to the California Hospital, where he was soon given his liberty. He says she took this method of blocking the divorce case which he had filed. On another occasion she locked him in a room at Keswick, in Shasta County, because, he says, he would not give her a patent medicine which he had compounded. INJURED HIS PRACTICE. He declared that she spent the whole of her time in his office and injured his practice by making derog- atory remarks about him to his pa- tients. He charged her with wrong- fully accusing him of immorality and said that she would visit the officers of the battleship New York, dine with them and accept presents from them. Of three men paying her attentions he suid one was a naval officer, one a newspaper man, and the third a hard- ware dealer. He denied her specific charges of cruelty and said he did not live with her after the divorce suit was filed. Estes’ mother, Mrs. Rebecca Estes, disclosed the fact that he is in Pan- ama and, under cross examination, a letter from her to him was read advis- ing him to stay away and get a divorce from “that woman.” . C. Hawes, night clerk at the Winchester, testifled as to the circum- stances of Estes being handcuffed and removed in an ambulance. Attorney Stevens began the reading of the wife’s deposition and may con- clude it to-day. She says that Estes had the morphine habit and was under the influence of the drug when she had him sent to the sanitarium for his own | good. She was afraid he would take an overdose. She told of an incident in his office regarding & woman named Mrs. Tighe, with whom the doctor was said to be very friendly. There was a scene and Mrs. Tighe is reported to have said: “I have a good notion to smash your face into jelly; you are only a low chorus girl.” -Estes was abusive, she sald, and once threatened to cut her throat. After he began his suit he would visit her rooms, take her to dinners and the theater and try to induce her to withdraw her defense. He is said to have dragged her by the arm to his attorney to-get her to sign papers for disniissal of her opposition, but she declined to sign. Mrs. Estes denies the accusations regarding the naval officers and others and she gives many interesting details of her excit- ing encounters with her husband. THEY SUE TOGETHER. Loujs N. Vazina and his wife Lau- rita decided yesterday to go to court for relief. His complaint for divorce, charging cruelty, was filed first by With the New Quarters, Facing a Superb Park AMENDMENT TO BY-LAWS Nominating Committee to Select Officers for the Ensuing Year Is Chosen A general meeting of the Union League Club last evening was largely attended. A nominating committee as follows was chosen to nominate officers for the ensuing year: W. C. Van Fleet, Carroll Cook, A. H. Vail, V. W. Gas- kill, Wiliam Macdonald, A. W. Spear, W. H. Gordan, Thomas Kirkpatrick, Dr. C. T. Deane and J. W. Carmany. The committee will meet during the coming week. It is the impression in the league that Colonel George H. Plp-| under whose administration the Py, club moved into the superb clubhouse on Post street facing Union Squara,] will be nominated for another term, and it is also gossip that the committee will recommend only a few changes in the | highly | pleased with the new quarters. There | directory. The members are are so many applicants for admission | to the club that an amendment to the | by-laws increusing the membership | from 1000 to 1500 was proposed last| night and will be acted on at the an-| nual meeting on the second Tuesday of January, 1905. A proposition to Increase the admis- | | sion fee for city members to $50 and| for visiting members to $25 will also be considered at the annual meeting. | It s predicted that the measure to increase the membership to 1500 will}| be adopted without dissent, as the limit of 1000 is already attained, with ;nnny applications for admission pend- ng. Early in January on the occasion of the opening of the Ladies’ Annex a reception in compliment to the will be given. The annex, consisllns of a reception apartment and grillroom, is being fitted up in excellent at)le Th- decorations and general equ! will involve an outlay of $5000. —_———— | Pleads Gullty to Burglary. | John Bigley, alias Henry Stahmann, allas Frank Wilson, an ex-convict, pleaded gullty to a charge of burglary in Judge Dunne's court yesterday.

She says he has $5000 worth of realty, $600 in bank and an in- come of $300 a month, of which she wants 360 for alimony. His complaint iz a rare recital of feminine persecu- tion and he exhausts an inventory of household goods in naming the articles she threw at him. Culled from the list are furniture, stove lifters,’ shoes, hair brushes, rolling-pins, ' stewpans, stewed fruit and knives. She is said to have threatened his life with gas and a knife. She threw his best clothes in- to the basement, burned his contracts | and destroyed his architects’ specifica- tions, according to the complaint, and all of her acts he traces to the use of liquor. Mrs. Vazina's attorney, A. B. Tread- well, went to Judge Sloss for an order | restraining Vazina from disposing of his property, but the double complaints cgused the court to defer action. Treadwell, however, obtained . from Judge Kerrigan a writ of habeas corpus for the possession of an 8- months-old babe of the couple which Vazina “kidnaped” from the mother’s home, 47 De Long avenue, last Sunday night. A year ago last summer Vazina sued for divorce on the same grounds alleged in this case, but they made up‘ and lived together agalin. Divorces were granted yesterday by | Judge Kerrigan to Frederick H. Kidd from Hannah Kidd, desertion; Annie M. Lawson from Marshal Lawson, neglect; by Judge Graham to John E.! Paul from Susie Paul, infidelity; by Judge Murasky to John Connell from | Jennie Connell, cruelty. On the grounds of neglect and deser- | tion Sophronia B. Strickland sues for divorce from Doyal B.
