SUING FOR DIVORCE
Policeman Matuskiwiz's Wife Still
on His Trail

Judge York was forced again yesterday
to listen to the evidence in the Matuskiewiz
divorce case. The defendant, William, is a
police officer, and some months ago his wife,
Louise, LETT him and instituted suit on the
grounds of cruelty and adultery, naming one
Fannie l.. Miller, a widow formerly known
as Mrs. Meyer, as correspondent. The case
was tried last June and Mrs. Matuskiwiz
was allowed $40 per month almony with a
decree, but her husband subsequently, claim
ed that he had discovered new evidence and
the case was reopened.
A stiff fight is being put up on both sides
this time, but Mrs. Miller has turned against
the defendant and is testifying for plaintiff
now. On the stand yesterday she identified
various letters sent TO her by the policeman
and her little boy told of frequent visits
made by the policeman at night, on one OF
which occasions the latter had threatened
the life of the boys mother and displayed a
revolver. The boy is very bright, but the
tears stood in his eyes as he told of his
mothers imprudence.
The cause was tried before behind closed
doors, but little that was salacious was per
mittcd to escape yesterday, documentary
evidence being admitted without reading in
open court. 1t is expected that all the tcst
mony will be in today and that a decree
will be granted

BAPTIST CONVENTION
SECOND SESSION OF SOUTHERN
CALIFORNIA ASSOCIATION
Reports of Missionary Work and Ad-
dresses by Delegates-Much Bus
mess to Be Transacted

Yesterday was the second day of the
Baptist association convention at the First
Baptist church on Flower street. The ann
of the convention is the formulating OF
plans for missionary work, the development
OF the future and review OF the past. Inc
past two days have accomplished little CT
nothing, but today and tomorrow consider
able business will be transacted, looking TO
improvement along all lines.
Yesterday the morning session was
opened with Bible reading by Rev. A. j.
Frost, ID. d. 4 short business session toll
lowed the call to order. The report of the
foreign missions, stating that retrenchment
is the most conspicuous word in missionary
reports, remarked that this is a most ON
inous sign of the times. The a. b. NJ. &.
is now out OF debt, but heart breaking re-
trenchment has been forced upon several Of
the fields. The appropriation of S40S, ,o99. IS
for the work of the present year is $4,000
less than the amount actually needed. 1t is
Sl7,23S less than the appropriation OF last
year, and during the past three years the
appropriation has gradually diminished.
The report urged more earnest labors in all
departments.
1t was recommended that Rev. A. w.
Rider, formerly pastor of Emanuel church,
this city, be set apart for foreign missionary
work This selection will probably be for
mally made this winter. The report of Rev.
E. H. Brooks on home missions gave facts
and figures of the progress made. The home
missions were urged as being of equal i'm
portance with foreign missions. The home
missions were shown to be in prosperous
condition.
An ,II &c ,,-alno,oa haha1f of 40
local church was given by Rev. j. Herndon
by Rev Hugh X. Walker. Rev. Alex
tion. Addresses were made by Rev. Frank
Wooddy, Rev. A. w. Rider, and devotional
exercises in the afternoon were led by Rev.
+. o. Nelson of the Swedish Baptist church.
Devotional service was led in the even
ing by Rev. George Taylor. Hymns and
anthems were sung and addresses were de-
livered by Rev. C. T.. Douglass, Rev. G. A.
Cleaveand and Rev. Alex Grant A fea-
ture of the evening session was the singing
of the Chinese choral club, composed of
boys educated in the local Baptist Chinese
mission. 1t illustrates strongly what can
be accomplished with the Chinese. They
sang in their native tongue and in English
The mission now has from 10 to Is Chinese
in attendance.
Rev. C. T. Douglass, corresponding secre-
tary of the general missions of Southern
California and Arizona, read the report OF
the board of directors for the year ended
November 1st. The report showed great
advancement in the work during the past
few years. The population has greatly in
creased and the organization of new mis-
sions from time to time has kept pace with
it. There is now residue in the treasury
but retrenchment has been necessary.

had about concluded negotiations for the
Evening Report OF San Francisco. Mr..

not be corroborated, therefore, but it is
known that he has contemplated the trans
action for some time past, and it is thought
that there is good reason to believe the
report to be correct. The Report, if Mr..
Blades has purchased it, will be under the
control of the Scripps- -McRae syndicate, or

ANOTHER COUNCIL MEETING
Much Business Yet Remains to Be
DISPOSED Of

This afternoon special meeting of the
council will be held and an attempt made TO
clear up the accumulated business of the
close of the year before going out of office.
The Broadway and Hill, Fourth and Fifth
alley matter, which has been before the
council for nearly year, will come up to
receive the finishing touches Another mat
ter set for consideration is the acceptance
or otherwise of the "Copp gift fund" Of
fered to the city by Attorney Murphey at
the session of council on Tuesday Then
there are the bids for fire alarm and police
telegraph to come up, to say nothing of the
award OF the contracts for hook and ladder
trucks and chemical and hose wagons, be-
sides couple of engine house sites yet to
be finally decided upon
There will be another request that the
council grant another extension of time to
the electric companies-or to be more par
ticular, the Edison Lighting company, which
will be unable to get underground by the Sd
of next month, when the present limit ex-
pires because of a delay in material reach
ing the city. This threw the company back
for nearly two months, and it has been un-
able to install this complicated machinery
and complete the transfer of it's wires to
the underground system at the same time.
The company has, however, taken down a
great many of its poles on Spring and Main
streets, and will soon complete this work
The Los Angeles Lighting company has
been vigorously at work getting down its
poles, and it now appears probable that it
will complete its work within the limit.
Whether the councilmen are in humor
to grant another extension when the com
panies have had year and nine months
within which to comply with the ordinance,
remains to be seen.
