WAGES TOO HIGH.
Cannot Pay Sweepers Two
Dollars a Day.
That Is the Sum Men WaEt From
the Retail Merchants AS
ISOLATION.

President Dohrmann of the Retail Mer-
chants Association is still engaged in an
earnest effort to carry out the wishes OF
the organization and have cleaner streets
in San Francisco
The men VINO were to do the work. how
ever. made a demand upon him Yesterday
for So per day, and that is little more
than can be afforded at present.
In speaking of the situation yesterday
Mr.. Dohrmann said: "a representative
of the unemployed came to me this morn
ing and asked for work, and stated that
they wanted 50 day. Well, we are ready
TO give them work when we close the con-
tract with the city. but the wages they de-
manded seemed out of all question, and
told them that they had better reconsider
the wage part of their request and report
to me again. They finally agreed to send
committee here tomorrow and see if
some agreement could not be reached.
For the benefit of those who are ex-
pectng work on the streets this winter |
would very much like to impress upon
their minds that this plan of ours clean
ing the streets was not formed with the
idea OF making money. Nobody will make
a cont. We first want, with the limited
capital which we Will have. to give the
citizens of this city the cleanest streets
possible. Again. we want to give employ
ment to as many men as possible. We
shall hire only married men, and they will
have to be residents of San Francisco for
six months. This will prevent an influx
of people from abroad. AS to the wages
we have not settled upon them yet, but
they will be very low.
1--WE will have only certain amount of
money TO eXpend, and if we pay 81 day
we can employ only half the number of
men we could If we paid 81 day. | ac-
knowledge 81 a day Is starvation wages
but it is far better than no wages at
all.
Our work which we are now doing upon
the streets is progressing. We have twenty
men now employed ct work. and the Cali.
fOrnia Construction Company has twenty
men on Market street. We shall not in-
crease the present force until we have
closed the contract with the city.
"The various business associations have
signifed their intention of appointing
committees TO cooperate with u.s. The

Soon after this there developed story

SHE MARRIED TWO.
Bereaved Widowers Fight
Over an Estate.
Husband Number One Says Number
Two Acquired His Wife and
Property by Fraud.

A complaint in a rather strange case was
filed in the Superior Court yesterday. The
plaintiff seeks to recover money deposited
in the German Savings Bank in the name
of a woman who was his wife, and who he
says obtained divorce from him by fraud,
took unto herself another husband and
died. The plaintiff, Joseph F. Dietrich,
seeks to recover the money from Conrad
Kirsehuer. who. he alleges. not only took
his wife. but after her death took the de-
posit that was in the bank.
The woman died on February %. 1894,
and her second husband, Conrad Kirschner.
was appointed administrator of her estate.
Dietrich, the first husband, alleges that
the money in the bank, amounting to $500,
was acquired by him and his wife prior to
her marriage with Kirschner.
1t was deposited in the name of Philo-
mena Dietrich, but after her second mar
riage she had it changed to Philomene
Kirschner and when she died Kirschner
caused the deposit to be changed to his
name.
Dietrich asserts that on September /,
1889. his Philomena willfully and without
excuse deserted him and ever thereafter
without excuse continued to desert him,
and he says that on December rs, 1892, she
wrGngfully brought suit against him for
divorce and falsely alleged in her CON-
plant that he had deserted her.
II was never served with summons in
that action for DIVORCE" Dietrich swears,
land never had any knowledge of it IN iii
after my wife'S death. Philomena falsely
! represented to the court that l had been
served with the summons and produced
false testimony before the court that lad
deserted her and thereby wrongfully OBJ
tanned a decree.
"On the 1st day OF August, 1898,
Philomena went through the form Of a
marriage with Conrad Kirsehner. She had
then been living with him for three
months at 672 Brannan street."
Dietrich explains his ignorance of his
wife's doings by saying that he was alb
sent from the city and was at POrtland
from December 90, 1890. TO March %, 1894,
and that all this time his wife knew his
address.
Husband 2, on hearing of the action
taken by husband l. filed an affidavit in
the Clerks Office in which he declared
that the money in the bank was his wife's
property. and that it was spent by her
prior to her marriage with him, which
marriage, he asserts, was lawful. Kirsch-
ner emDlatically denies that he lived with
his wife prior TO the wedding.

Prompt Action Will Be Necessary in

WASHINGTON, May 3.-The session Of
the house committee on Pacific roads
was given up to hearing on hehalf Of
the reorganization plan Of the Union
Pacific in consideration of the payment
Of the debt of that road to the United
States. These gentlemen were present
at the meeting: A. H. Boissevain of
Holland, G. H. Coster of New York, Col.
L. H. Higginson Of Boston, Louis Fitz.
gerald Of New York, s. Carr of Boston,
all members of the reorganization com-
mittee; F. L. Stetson, Simpson and
Victor Morrowetz, Of counsel for the re-
organization committee; o. w. Mink,
E. E. Anderson, F. r. Couderet and Mr..
Doan, receivers, and s. H. Clark, presi-
don't Of the company. Mr.. Boissevain of
Holland representing holders Of the
Union Pacific securities in that country
first addressed the committee. The in
terest that he represented believed that
prompt action was necessary and imper-
ative, 90 that the reorganization commit
tee would not have to wait too long be-
fore beginning its work. He could not
endorse the proposition in the attorney
generals bill concerning the lien
to be given to the government in the
reorganization statement and said he
thought that branch lines should be left
out OF the lien. Boissevain SAID he rep.
resented between S30,0OO000 and $4o,.

ton was gone over There seemed to
exist the belief that the extending of a
government lien over the entire system
Of the Union Pacific as proposed would
prove a serious obstacle to carrying out
the plan Of reorganization.
