WANTS A DIVORCE.
Charles T. Cook Files Bill Against
His Wife Emily. Alleging
Infidelity.

Walter H. Linforth, as counsel for
Charles T. Cook, filed a petition in di-
vorce yesterday against Emily M. Cook.
Charles T. Cook is in the internal revenue
service, stationed at Port Costa. The
grounds for the divorce, as stated, are re-
peated acts OF 4nidelity, and the respond
ents named are several.
The couple were married on the 22d of
December, 1888, in this City.
The acts of infidelity charged are al
legged to have been committed on Thurs
day, the Goth of February, and on Satur-
day, the 29th of February, "at that GER
tain place known as the Poodle Dog sit
uate on the corner of Bush street and
Grant avenue" with man whose first
name is "Will," the second name un-
known.
The first name of another respondent
is Harry his full name unknown.
With him the actions complained OF took
place between the 1st day of March and
the 1st day of July, 1895, at San Jose, at
Livermore and at Mendenhalls Springs.
The defendant is charged with similar
conduct on various occasions during the
year 1895, with one Percy Smith at Men
denhalls Springs, at Livermore and in this
City.
The same charge is made in relation to
defendant and one Duval and various
others at various places in this City.

FEWER CHILDREN DYING,
Results Of a Rigid Inspection of
the City'S Milk
Supply.
Arguments That Will Be Used by the
Board of Health on the
Supervisors.

Secretary Godchaux and Assistant Sec
retary Zobel of the Board of Health have
just finished the compilation of mass of
figures tending to show that the rigid
system of milk inspection established by
the present board has largely decreased
the death rate among children in this
City, and that Inspector Dockery's work
has been of vast importance to the Health
Department.
These figures will probably be used as
an argument to convince the Board of Su-
pervisors that the additional milk inspec.
tors which the Health Department desires
to appoint are necessary, and that the in
terests of the public health demand that
these offices be created.
The most prevalent diseases among chill
dren that can be traced to an impure or
adulterated milk supply are cholera, en-
teritis, marasmus and inan ltion, the latter
being traceable more to insufficient
strength in milk than to any other cause.
Inspector Dockery has been in Office
about five months, and comparative
statement of the deaths among children
from the diseases mentioned during his
incumb bency and OF the deaths for the five
months preceding his appointment has
been drawn. 1t is as follows:

TO REMOVE HOG RANCHES
The Supervisors Will Act on the
Bay View Petition
To-Day.
A Once Charming Dwelling Place Now
Rendered UninhabitabIe by
Stencil.

The hog pens at Bay View, South San
Francisco, still send forth their stencil into
the windows of the hundred or more resi-
dents of that pretty little valley. The foul
refuse is piling up higher on the beach
day by day and increasing the danger oi
epidemic disease.
The petition from the property-owner
there to the Board of Supervisors, for the
removal of this nuisance, will be acted
upon to-day by the Supervisors.
The petition contained some forty OF
fifty names, headed by Mr.. Piper, who
owns considerable land in that district
The petition was gotten up hurriedly, and
as consequence contains about half the
number of names that otherwise would
have been appended to it.
The matter OF the removal of these places
has been agitated for some time. Before
the advent of the hog ranches Bay View
was one of the most charming spots for
residence in San Francisco. The purity oil
the air and splendid view of the bay
which then touched a beach as white as
that near the Cliff House, made the locsl-
ity particularly favorable for the building
of homes. Since the hog ranches moved
onto the beach the entire valley. the
greater part OF the time, is almost unbear-
able owing to the terrible stencil arising
from the refuse thrown on the beach.
The residents assert in warm weather
they are frequently compelled to leave
their homes to escape the odor. They
claim that down near these ranches sick.
ness is continually prevalent, and in their
petition they hold that it is extremely nm
fair that four people should render the
homes OF hundred others uninhabitable.

PROTESTED TAXES.
The Trustees of Mrs. Fairs Estat
Want Some Money Back.

The Trustees of Mrs. Fairs Estate
Want Some Money Back.
The trustees of the estate of Theresa
Fair are suing the City and its Tax Collec-
tor for the recovery of taxes, paid under
protest, on the personal property left by
Mrs. Fair.
The amount sued for is $28445, and the
parties suing are John W. Mackay and R.
V. Dey.
The property assessed improperly, it is
claimed, consists of bonds held in New
York. These were 1855 $1,000 bonds of the
Southern Pacific Railroad Company of
Arizona, valued at 81, 1856, 900, and twenty
seven $1,000 b onds of the West Shore Rail-
road Company of New York, valued at
$4,000. When the Assessor first inspected
the estate he was satisfied with including
only $4,000 worth of household furniture,
owned by the estate, but the Board of
Equalization added the bonds afterward.
Subse 1uently, however, the assessment
was reduced $6O0,O0 by striking off 600
of the bonds of the Southern Pacific Com
pany, leaving 1926 at valuation OF 81 ,225,- :
900, and the $27, 900 worth OF other bonds.
The City tax rate for the year ending
June 30, 1896, was set at IL 5ox ana the
State tax rate at 6S% cents. This made
the City taxes $2O,063 80 and the State
taxes $S7S1 10. These amounts were paid
into the Treasures Office on November 10,
1895, and at the same time written pro-
test was filed, setting forth q variety OF
reasons why the taxes should not be paid,
and notifying the Tax Collector that he
and the City would be made responsible
for the amount.
The points of the protest are made part
OF the complaint. 1t is alleged that the
bonds taxed are not in this State, nor are
the companies which issued them located
in this State, and therefore they are not
liable for taxation here.

tion of the Southern Pacific, which put In
a rate of so cents per 100 pounds.
In a conversation with Manager
Schwerin of the Pacific Mail that gentle
man stated that the present mlsunder-
standing between the railroads ana the
steamship lines which operate via Panama
was caused by the impatience OF the Pan
anna Company. He claimed tnat the oU-
cent rate had rot been given fair test at
the time the Panama people insisted on
the reduction to 40 cents, and that this
reduction had forced the railroad COM
pany TO strike its heavy blow on Monday.
When asked whether the Pacific Mail
was in position to handle freight for New
York, Mr.. Schwerin replied that on the
steamer which left last for Panama be-
tween 400 and 500 tons OF through freight
could have been carried, but that there
was little movement at the present season
in eastbound freight. He added that the
steamer 10 leave Saturday next would
have been able to take 500 or 600 tons of
freight had it not been for the reduced
rates put in by the railroad.
But shippers have vastly different tale
to tell. AT no time for many months,
they say, have the steamers of the Pacific
Mail been able to accommodate even the
business between this City and Panama
and way ports, let alone through business.
How the merchants feel on the matter Is
clearly shown in the statement made yes
terday by one of the largest shippers to
Central America. This gentleman said
the grievance of lack of shipping facilities
afforded by the Pacific Mail to Central
American ports was one of long standing.
He then continued:
The Pacific Mail has certainly undertaken to
do more than 1t can accomplish when 1t offers
to carry through freight TO New York on its
steamers that leave here. Why, the present
service of the company is entirely inadequate
10 handle the freight offered now for Central
American ports alone. There are two reasons
for this. One reason is that their steamers are
not large enough or they have not enough of
them; ana the second Is the lack of dock ca
brought through eargoes of New York freight.
They were discharged at the Pacific Mail dock
and their cargoes lookup the entire room on

Tohn H. Peters, the Well.KnoWn
Photographer, Commits
Suicide.
THE ACT WAS DELIBERATE.
His Family Can Assign No Reason
Why He Should Have Taken His
Own Life.

! John H. Peters, the well-known pho
tographer, committed suicide yesterday
afternoon by shooting himself IN the
| mouth in the waiting-room of his photo
graph gallery at Ola Market street.
The gallery occupies the second and
third floors of the building, the second
floor being used as an Office and the third
as the operating and waiting rooms.
At noon Peters went out to lunch and
returned about o'clock. His daughter
and an ofice-boy were in the office. WIN
out saying anything to them he went up
stairs. A few minutes later the report Of
revolver was heard and the office boy
ran upstairs. He looked into the waiting
room and Immediately ran downstairs
and out into the street, where he met Po-
liceman Royston and said, "Come quick;
the boss has shot himself"
Royston followed the boy and when he
entered the waiting-room he saw Peters
seated in an armchair in front of mirror,
with his legs resting upon settee. A re-
volver was clutched in his right hand,
which rested upon his breast. Blood was
oozing out Of his month, and he was un-
conscious.
The officer rang for the patrol wagon,
and Peters was taken to the Receiving
Hospital. Drs. Bunnell and Rhine made
hasty examination, and came to the con-
clusion that he could not live many min
utes. He had fired into his mouth, and
the bullet had penetrated into the brain.
Peters expired about O'Clock, and his
body was removed to the Morgue.
An examination of the revolver which
is O Smith & Wesson 32-caliber, showed
that he had fired twice, but the first car
fridge had not exploded, and he then fired
again with fatal effect.
Peters was a married man, 81 years of
age, and native of Germany. He lived
with his wife and four children at 2021
Howard street. The family was at once
notified Of the affair and Eggert Peters,
the eldest son. hurried to the hospital.
'My father left home as usual this
morning" he said, "and SO far as we know
he was in his usual health. There was
nothing wrong either in his business
affairs, so far as we were aware. He was
doing good business and his home re-
lations had always been of the most pleas
ant kind"
Mrs Peters also called at the hospital,
but she was in such hysterical condition
that nothing could be learned from her as
to the cause of her husbands suicide.
Peters left no letters to his family that
would throw any light upon the matter.
1t was learned from other sources that
| business had been dull with him for some
! time back. and for the past two or three
| days he had been acting in an erratic
| manner.
| He was member of the Odd Fellows
society, and that society will take charge
| of the funeral arrangements.

If dried olives possess all the qualities

on earth contains as much of the ele-

qualities, and all that is necessary to rem.

Previous to Dockery's appointment:

The difference appears greater when it is
understood that the death rate from the
disease mentioned is naturally larger dur
ing the cold months Of the year than it is
in the warm season.
The scarcity of typhoid cases is also
noted by Dr. Parramore, who states that
the water used to dilute milk usually
comes from the ranch we'll into which ty-
phoid germs are quite likely to find their
way from the filth of the cattle pens. The
requirements OF the new ordinance in re-
lation to the strength of milk has pre-
vented the use of such copious quantities
of water as were formerly introduced into
the milk.
