SMITHS LENA"
Divorce Wanted Because Of Wife
Notorious Fiirtations.

divorce Wanted Because OF q Wife's
Notorious Flirtations.
The one diseordant element in the domes-
tic affairs of Adolph Lang and his better
half is admitted by him in his amended
complaint to be one George Smith, a
puncher Of railroad fares on the Ellis-street
cable-cars, with whom she has so long
kept up an insane filtration that the pre-
cinct knows no other subject of converse
ton, and sympathetic neighbors have in
pity for him sent anonymous communica-
tions apprising the husband Of what is 60
ing on in his absence.
Lang wants a divorce from Lena on ac-
count Of her cruelty to him In prosecuting
this desperate Irritation, and also on the
ground OF her unfaithfulness. Adolph has
to complain that she finds no solace or
comfort in his presence, and however much
ne desires her TO associate with him In the
pleasures of life she will not have it, and
repels ell his well-meant advances. She
eau be happy only with Smith and seems;to
live only for this man, says he. sitting as
she does for hours at her window at 1918
Ellis street waiting for his car to pass, and
considering herself amply repaid for her
long vigil by smile or smirk or nod Of
recognition from the MASKING car conductor.
This thing has gone so far that she
neglects her household duties and the COM
fort OF her three children; and so openly is
this Irritation conducted that the neighbors
have come to call her Smiths Lena"
AdOlph says that almost nightly she has left
her home to visit this heartbreaker at 400
Devisadero street, and there remained until
the hour of midnight; frequent also are her
round trips with him on his Car. Then the
husband has intercepted correspondence in
which they called themselves by their
christian names and fervent words Of en-
dearment were exchanged.
In contempt of all motherly and wifely
thoughts OF decency, 1t appears, according
TO the husbands sworn complaint she has
even had herself photographed with this
conductor; and when the husband up
braided her for her disgraceful conduct she
threatened TO commit suicide His threat
that unless she ceased making him the sub
ject of public contempt and ridicule he
would seek divorce from her. had no
effect; on the contrary she apparently hailed
the proposition with delight, and expressed
the hope that he would do az he had
threatened for then she would be free to
marry her car-conductor.
Not satisfied with running after him, e
says that in his frequent absences from
home the wife has brought the fellow 10
her house and there extraordinary things
have happened. On such occasions she has
always secreted the children from the gaze
of the visitor

j. +. Malo, who persists that he is a Gath

answer charge of obtaining Gouds by false
pretenses from j. A. Waldteufel, a Market

frauded by the accused, who represen ted
that he was missionary among the Black

representation. Waldteufel trusted him for
over $50 worth of Catholic goods.
Malo declares, however. that Waldteufel
insisted on his buying things he did not re-
quire and agreed to give hiai three months
credit.
Captain Lees says there is no doubt that
Mal0 was ordained as priest, but that he
has been rogue for many years. He also

JUST A LITTLE HELP.
That Is All Which Ia Reou,red at This
Time OF the Year-Do You Know
What to Do?

We hear a great deal just now about spring medi-
cines. 1t is known that people feel run down after
the labors and siege of winter and it is they
need spring medicine. This is not true. Spring
medicines are not needed nature will throw off the
rheumS in the blood which have accumulated dur.

would be well TO bear these facts in mind when

JAPANESE IMMIGRANTS.
An Educated Agent Suspected of SendiI
LabOrers for Fruit Farms.


LabOrers for Fruit Farms.
Thirty-two Japanese immigrants arrived
yesterday on the sugar steamer Irmgard
from Honolulu. Speaking of this, Collector
Phelps regretted greatly that the local
authorities are powerless to stop the whole
sale importation of japanese labor which is
being carried on at present.
There are now about go Japanese pas
sengers from the Gaelic and China in quar-
antine at Angel Island. They wlIs b e
landed, in all probability, on this side of the
bay within few days, and. although the
authorities are quite certain that these men
are coming as contract laborers, no proof
can be found that such Is the case.
few months ago a young and very
shrewd japanese, who had resided at BIggs
in COlusa County. came to this city and
made minute inquiries into the immigration
laws and how they operate. AS soon as he
had obtained all possible information on
the subject he left for Japan, and il Is now
suspected that IL is he who iustruets his
countrymen how they can avoid coming in
conflict with the United States laws upon
landing here. and then ships them in num-
bers to San Francisco.
This enterprising agent is supposed TO be
IN the employ of fruit-raisers in Northern
California, who through him obtain cheap
labor Tor the canning season.

No "scab" Labor Wanted The Conn
missioners Disagree.
Superintendent Hughes reported at yes
terday's meeting of the City Hall Commits
sioners that the towers on the MeAllister
and Larkin street sides Of the hall are in
need of repair. Nothing has been done to
them for fifteen years and the iron panels
are badly corroded. They need painting.
An estimate IF the cost of needed repairs
was ordered.
Another delegation from the Building
Trades Council appeared before the COM
miSsioners TO protest against the employ
ment of non- union labor, and to demand
that clause 10 that effect be inserted in all
contracts awarded by the Commissioners.
The basis of this petition was upon in
formation and belief" that Mr.. Wits, who
holds a subcontraet under Mccain & Me-
Nay, was about to employ 'Scab" labor.
Wits replied that he would take orders
from the commission or from the Superin-
tendenf, but not from any trades union:
lie would employ whom he pleased and
would be responsible for his work. He had
been contractor in this city for 90 years
and would rest on his reputation as COM
petent workman. The delegates he called
agtators, and charged them with having
nearly ruined the iron industry of this city,
brought men TO poverty and sacrificed not
only property but human life 10 gain their
emu ne declared ne WOuIQ throw up His
contract before he would be dictated TO by
them.
The delegates were asked if they knew of
any "scab' labor employed by Wits When
they replied in the negative. Commissioner
Smiley advised them that it was time
enough to greet old Nick when you meet
him."
There was slight outburst OF feeling
among the Commissioners when il was dis
covered that the Auditor had refused TO ap-
prove the salary warrant of j. >. Griffith.

architects Office. His appointment was
opposed by Commissioner Smiley.
Commissioner burst said he thought the
Auditors conduct very discOuIteOus and
demanded of him if the commission Was

The Auditor said in reply that one man
could run il as well as two.
