BERKELEY, June 29.—The strenu- ous objection of State Superintendent of Behools Kirk to the proposal to take from the State text-book committee the power to purchase and install text- books in California schocls led to an argume~* on the question this morn- ing during the session of the State Board o. Education. The outéome was a decision to refer the matter to the Attorney General of the State for an opinion The State board yesterday favored taking the power exercised in choosing text-books from the hands of the com- | mittee and requiring that the commit- tee secure the board's approval before any action is taken. The decision was laid over until this morning's session. The State Superintendent sald, when the question was brought up - today, that the law gives the committee the right to purchase and Instail the books. | C. C.

Effort to H_e_ad Off Her Former Spouse Is in Vain. OAKLAND, June 29.—Declaring that | her husband turned the hose on her and | drenched her best dress and that he | also encouraged his children to spatter water on her, Mrs. Jessie M. Sutton has | brought divorce proceedings against John B. Sutton, whom she charges with cruelty. She states that his turning the water on her was but the culmina- tion of numerous cruelties practiced upon her. She alleges that he swore at her and struck her with his fist. i They were married.at Santa Cruz just a year ago today and his cruelty to her, she says, began almost immediately after they were married. Margaretha Meyer began dlvorce proceedings against Michael Meyer to- day on the ground of crueity. She says | that on account of his insanely jealous disposition ‘he was in the habit of questioning her fidelity because she | had certain business relations with John Stevenson. She explains that | Meyer was unemployed and that she undertook to support herself and their two children, but that her husband's actions have been such that she can no | longer do it, wherefore she asks for the custody of the children and such other relfef as the court deems proper. A final decree of divorce was granted Mary J. Murphy today, much against her will, and Edward F. Murphy, the defendant to the action, is now free to marry a second time. When it was about time for the final decree to be entered Mrs. Murphy went before Judge Ellsworth and said that she did not want a divorce and asked permis- | sion to dismiss her action. ' This she | was allowed to do, the Judge not being fully informed as to the facts in’ the case. When Murphy heard of the dismissal | he made strenuous'objection, alleging | | that he and his wife had settled their | property rights out of court and that | he had given his wife property in Gold- | en Gate valued at $6000, besides paying | | her $80 a month alimony. He also al- | | leged that the action was not dismiss- | ed In good faith, but that it was done | | for spite, 8o that he should not be free | to marry'a second time. When Judge | | Ellsworth heard the full facts In the| | case he made an order setting aside the | | dismissal of the action and ordered the | entry of a final decree. DEMANDS HIS SHARE IN | - A PROFITABLE DEAL 'F. A. Stearns Alleges He Was| [ Frozen Out of a Real Estate Bargain. OAKLAND, June 29.—Alleging that he has been frozen out of a deal in real estate after having put money into it, | F. A. Stearns has brought suit against | Bdward Eccleston, W. F. Detert, W. P. Frick and the Oakland Bank of Savings to recover his share in a transaction | whereby the Sinclair tract in Berkeley | was bought for $43,000, while its real | value is $60,000. | Stearns says that he was asked by | Eccleston to go in on the deal by rep- | resenting that he had an option upon| ithe property to buy it for $§15,000 in { cash and a mortgage for the balance. Stearns says he agreeq to put up one- | fourth the amount necessary and, in| | order to pay his part of the deposit, gave Eccleston $260. Later, he says, | Eccleston tried to return him his money, stating the deal had | through. This, he states, was not so, |as a few days later a deed was placed on record from Sinclair to the defend- | ants, and Stearns now proposes to have | them divide with him.

After Ransacking Store He Goes to Hotel Washstand. OAKLAND, June 29.—Interest in the identity of the lone burglar who ran- sdcked the Plerce Hardware Company’s store at 1108 Broadway early yester- day morning has been stimulated by the finding of blood stains in the lava- tory of the Westminster House on Twelfth street, between Franklin and Webster, shortly after the crime was committed. The burglar entered the store by smashing a window in the rear. Finding that his escape was cut off on Twelfth street by two patrol- men, he smashed in a window in the rear of Slavich's restaurant on Thir- teenth street and escaped through the door. Passing as he did through two broken windows, -he was probably severely cut by contact with the ragged window glass. It appears that after dodging Police- man Nick Willlams at Thirteenth and Harrison streets the burglar entered the Westminster House through an open side door and went to the wash- stand on the second floor. A inquiry was made among the lodgers in the house, but all were able to give accounts of their actions during the! course of the robbery. It is supposed by the police that the man was familiar with the hotel. PERSONAL. Jesse I. Phelps of Helena, Mont., {s at the Majestic. F. Albertwey and wife of St. Joseph, Mo., are at the Majestic.
