TROUBLES OF MRS. LEVIN
She Got a Rabbinical Decree of
Divorce From Her
Husband.
Then He Beat Her and She Was Ar.
rested for Disturbing the Peace
and Being Insane.

Mrs. Lena Levin has been declared not
to be insane, but her marital troubles will
probably force her into that condition.
She was arrested about a week ago for
disturbing the peace and was released on
bonds. The case was called in Judge Con-
lan's court two or three times, but she
failed to appear and bench warrant was
issued for her arrest.
Yesterday morning she appeared in
court, but she was in such an excited state
that the Judge ordered her into custody.
so that she could be taken before the In
sanity Commissioners on Tuesday for
examination. Her attorney, William
Tomsky, took her before Judge Hebbard at
once, instead of waiting till Tuesday, and
he decided that she was perfectly sane
Tomsky then gave bonds for her appear
ance in Judge Conlan's court, and she was
released from custody.
Mrs. Levin came here from New York
with her husband, who is a tailor, about
three months ago. They did not live hap
PLY together and five or six weeks ago
she got rabbinical decree of divorce from
Rabbi MarkowitZ. Such decree is rarely
asked for, as it has no effect unless sup
ported by decree from the civil courts.
Wnen the husband became aware OF
what she had done he beat her and she
swore out warrant for his arrest on the
charge of battery. She went with the po-
liceman who had the warrant to the house
of Samuel Adelstein, music teacher on
Geary street, where she believed her hus-
band was living, but they were refused adj
mittance. Mrs. Levin got an order to
search the house and when she went back
she claims that although she could not
ind her husband she found suit OF clothes
belonging to him. This excited her and
she made disturbance, which resulted in
her arrest.
Ali efforts to ind Levin have been un
availing, as he is hiding to evade service OF
the warrant for battery.

The Humane Society Seeking Minnie
Murray and Lena Jacobs, Who Es-
capped From the sheltering Arms.
Minnie Murray and Lena Jacobs, aged
respectively 13 and Is years, disappeared a
few days ago from the care of Sister Julia
at the Sheltering Arms Home on Harri-
son street.
The case has been given to General Nc
Comb of the Humane Society, out as yet
not the slightest clew has been found to
indicate the whereabouts of the girls.
Minnie was reprimanded for some in
fraction of the rules just previous to her
disappearance and was punished by being
compelled to forego an afternoons outing
The same day she escaped from the home
accompanied by the Jacobs girl, who came
from Sebastopol Sonoma County.
Minnie would be pretty well known in
the City, as she has been more or less I'M
der the control of the society for some
time. Letters of guardianship had been
procured for her by Sister Julia, who took
an interest in the girl and desired to take
her away from her father.
Some years ago." said General Nc
Comb, the Society for the Prevention of
Cruelty to Children carried the case into
the Superior Court for the purpose of get
ting the child away from the custody and
influence of her father. We were success
full and Minnie was placed in the Shelter
ing Arms"

While the mail section equipment OF the
cars will be alike they will vary somewhat
III reference to their motor equipment, as
one car Is to run on narrow-gauge cable
lines, one on broad-gauge cable lines and
the third on electric lines.
They are to be painted brilliant white,
with gilt lettering and ornamental border,
and will present striking, chaste and
handsome appearance.
They will be about twenty-six feet long,
five feet at each end being devoted to the
gripman and motorman respectively, and
the remaining sixteen feet being utilized
for the mail clerks, pigeon-holes for the
segregation of mail matter while the car
lis in transit and desks for the clerks.
Each car will cost between $500 and
$4,000, and in addition to the necessary
mail clerks, will carry only the grlpman
and motorman.
The basis of compensation has been de-
cided upon, but will not be made public at
this time.

TT WOULD NOT DRAW.
A Chimney In BerteIing's House Had
No Outlet and Caused Much
Trouble.

L. A. Berteling, the Kearny-street opti-
clan, was not satisfied with flats which he
rented to tenants. The fats were of an
older day and did not give entire satisfac-
ton. The astute landlord engaged an
architect to design Improvements that
would transform the house into an up-to-
date residence, or, rather, couple of resi-
dences. Then contractor came along
He said he was hungry for the work, for
it was directly in his line, and BerteIing
accommodated him.
The work went on nicely until at last
the flats became modern" with orna-
mental glass, fancy woodwork and all the
other appurtenances OF nowadays inside
the four walls of house. Il looked beau
tiful. Mr.. Berteling smiled. He was
pleased at the change, and felt still hap

as smoke filled the house from a smolder-

after being smoked out of the fats.
Another contractor was engaged to alter
the chimney and he found that it had no
outlet. More than that, ne discovered
three f1ues leading into hole i'll the wall.
The original contractor presented his
bill for $1966, which was repudiated until
the second mans bill of 5000 would be de-
Quoted. The parties could not agree, and
now there is an attachment on the prop
erty for $1966, and a suit pending between
