908 Broadway, Sept. Z.
Lulu F. Turner, young woman who has
been married three years, must still remain
the wife of John Turner unless she can
bring more serious charges against him
than those she explained before Judge
Ogden this morning.
Mrs. Turner said that her husband fire.
quently slapped her, and once, when put
ting up stove, he spoke very GROSSLY to
her. On another occasion the young wife
said her husband threatened her. In an
swer to the Judge she replied that Turner
had told her the proper thing to bring her
under subsection would be to raise family.
But Mr.. Turner has big feet, according
to his wife, and on one occasion he placed
them in his wife's lap, and she said che
had his boots off"
Judge Ogden then gave the wife little
fatherlv lecture "You can hardly expect
the court to grant you a divorce upon such
testimony. If we were to grant you a
divorce upon that showing there would
not be a couple in Oakland that would not
be entitled to a divorce. 1t is impossible
to find human nature that is ideally per-
feet There are many little imperfections
that education and association will smooth
off, and married people must exercise for
bearance and patience. Instead of widen
ing the breach close it up. A young couple
such as you are will find married life a
very happy existence if you will return to
your home and not do just what you have
been doing heretofore.
Favors This Side of the Bay.
University Regent Albert Miller, who
resides in this city, favors this side of the
lory =, "a ~.
my personal CHOICE said he this
morning, sis somewhere south of Seventh
street and west of Market. The local COM
mittee have informed me what they could
secure land in that vicinity for, but do
not care to give out any figures now. In
San Francisco they have mentioned sew
eral sites, but expect to raise the funds to
purchase one with by pubic subscription.
Now, that is impossible. The offer of Mr..
Shattuck at Berkeley is very tempting in
many ways. 1t is the first real offer of a
site, 1t is near the university grounds
and yet far enough away to keep the
young men students apart; it is easy OF
access and, besides, it is ready for US as
soon as we are ready to take it.
