HAD HUNG's PAPERS
An Unfortunate Chinese Falls Into
Inspector Putnam's Clutches

How Wah Hung has been trying TO
evade Chinese Inspector Putnam ever
since he. succeeded in landing in this
country in last June. Hung has Kept
away from this city on account of his
fears, but was induced to come here
from Ell Paso, arriving Saturday night,
and on Sunday morning he was safely
under arrest charged with being unlaw-
fully in the country. 1t appears that
his name Is not Hung at all, though
what it is had not yesterday been as
certained, as he cannot speak any Eng
lsh, but he has the papers, so Mr.. Put
nam holds, of a man whose name was
Hung. but who died after going back to
China some year or two ago. The in
spector says that this man got hold of
the dead mans papers and used them
to effect an entrance to the country. The
dead man has as his witnesses A. c.
Way Of the First National bank of this
city and Herman Baruch, both of whom
pronounce the man under arrest as not
Hung at all. The fellow was arrested in
El Paso on the same charge, but when
he produced the papers of the deceased
Hung his trick that was vain went all
right and he was discharged from Gus
tOdy.

BOARD OF HEALTH
Opposition to Oil Wells Near the Sis
ters' Hospital

The petition of the Los Angeles infirm-
ary to the fire commissioners, ASKING
that a permit to locate oil wells near
the hospital be denied, was discussed at
length last night by the board of health,
to which body the matter had been re-
ferred for advice. 1t was the unanimous
opinion that new wells should not be
permitted in the immediate vicinity of
the institution, as their establishment
would materially injure both its work
and it's patients. 1t was finally agreed
by the board that the petition be re-
turned to the fire commissioners with
the recommendation that no we'll be al
lowed within 600 feet of the hospital.
The matter will be finally disposed of by
the commissioners tomorrow.
The board was not called to order until
$40. owing to the absence of Mayor
Snyder the chairman, who was expect
ed to attend. DR.. Salisbury was chosen
chairman. Drs. Moore, Colburn and
Cowles were present. Several inspectors
were also in attendance.
A communication was received from
| Governor Pingree of Michigan, inviting
the board to send a representative to the
quarter centennial of the establishment
of the Michigan state board of health
to take place in Detroit July 30, 1898
The health officer was instructed to Is
sue certificates to practice medicine ant
surgery in this city to E. Y. Munsell
William NJ Wilmington, Dalton S
Mccarthy, Victor Rendon and Caroline
L. Guild.
An Improvement in the system o.
registering physicians and surgeons
practicing in this city was recommend
ed by the health officer. Under tn
present regulations physicians are re
oured to register but once, and in conse
ouence the entry books contain tn
names of many who have long since lef
this city. Others have changed thei
; Offices and no track of them can b
, kept. DR.. Powers expressed the opin
ion that registrations should be mad
every two years at least, and that tn
: fee be reduced from 81 to rs cents. Fl

ros ANGELES HERALD. TUESDAY MORNING JANUARY y. 1898

workmen appeared there several days
ago and were about to begin work they
were threatened with all kinds OF IN

police were telephoned for but before
they responded it was agreed by botn

had done the work with approval OF the
council six months ago and had Sc
cured its acceptance by the street su-
perintendent. The curb was as good
as new and he did not want cement
curb placed there at his expense. The
contractor also appeared and while he
stated that he was willing to do what he
could for Rooney he could not afford to
forfeit his contract.
The matter was generally discussed
by the councilmen but they could give
no relief. They left 1t to the property
owner and the contractor and a COM
promise will probably be the result.

MOST CRUEL

RumorS of Separation Have Not a Particle of Foun-

The Irish Patriots Wife Living in Oakland for the Children's
 Benefit.
Oakland Office San Francisco Call,

908 Broadway, March ?. Mrs. Michael Davitt, wife of the prominent member of Parliament from Ireland, emphatically denies the ru- mored statements that she and her nus band contemplate a legal separation.
 Mrs. Davitt has been residing here for a year, because it was thought best for the three children in the family, who are with their mother at the home of Mrs. Canning, Mrs. Davitts aunt.
 Hon. Michael Davitt brought his fam fly to Oakland about year ago, and after a stay of two weeks returned 10 London. Mrs. Davitt Is an Oakland girl, and when she came here It was given out that she was to stay III cal ifornia at least two years.
 "The rumor is as false as 1t IS ridicu- lous," said Mrs. Davitt this morning. T cannot understand how such story was started It is absolutely without foundation, as my married life has been very, very happy. l feel that the cruei rumors have been started maEciously' for certainly there is nothing 10 give rise to them.
 My husband brought me here on &C., count of my health. which has not been good since my little girl died. He came all the way here with me ana the children, as he did not want us to make the Journey alone. was to stay two years, as 1t was believed that the long absence from the fogs of England would prove beneficial. l cannot bear to stay away so long, though, and will probably return home sooner.
 T would have gone back last fall 1T it had not been for the illness Of my aunt, Mrs. Canning. who has not been well this winter. My husband may go on lecture tour to Australia, south Africa and this country. and 1T he does, I will join him. He is at present in London attending to his official duties.
 T have letters from him regularly twice a week, and there is absolutely nothing in the rumor that we are aoout to senarate. It must have been started maliciously by some person or persons desiring to injure us.
 My married life has been the hap piest part of my whole existence and there is nothing that could give rise to SIIch rumOrS'

THE LAW MAY: DEFEAT ITSELF. Peculiar Test of the New California Divorce
 Statute. Can a Couple, Once Divorced, ], Marry Again Within
 Year?
The Matches of Berkeley Intend tc Renaarry and Take
 Chances.
Oakland Office San Francisco Call.
 9O8 Broadway. March 2.

One of the most interesting features of the new divorce law which forces people who secure legal separation to keep out of matrimony for year at least has been brought up by MT. and Mrs. Hatch of Berkeley. They have secured license to marry, and each of them has been in the divorce courts within a year. The parties who now want to be married were few months ago parties in the same divorce case.
 The case is the first of its kind that has arisen under the new act, and at torneys are advancing some very in- teresting opinions. The Matches were married a few years ago, and now the husband Is 32 and the wife 26 They lived happily for a short time, and then discovered that they had made a mistake, and the divorce court was sought. About nine months ago they were separated. and since then Mir Hatch has resided in Berkeley and his wife in Alameda.
 Soon after the divorce they both re- aliZed that the differences between them were comparatively trivial. and they commenced to make love again, and with good success. A few days ago they decided to remarry, and now they have a license.
 The question has arisen, are they yet divorced, and can they marry again? The courts have held that under the law the divorce is not complete until year has elapsed after the de- cree has been recorded. If this holds good, MT and Mrs. Hatch are yet married and ,have no need to go through the ceremony again. If the divorce Is complete, then they cannot marry again, according to the strict letter of the law.
 The new divorce law was framed for the purpose of protecting the marriage rite, and never contemplated situa- tion such as that of the Matches Should the law operate to keep them apart it would be defeating the very purpose for which 1t was framed The County Clerk evidently believes in aid ing their remarriage, for he consented to the issuance of the license.

OAKLAND, March 2.-Mark Alfred and Clarence Williams, supposed to be orph- ans, residing with their grandmother In West Berkeley, were arrested last night and were lodged in the County Jail on charge of petit larceny although by their own confession they are guilty of a much more serious crime. Deputy Sherin Fred Rawson arrested them and declares that they have a hard record in that town.
 Monday night about 10 o'clock they en- tered the West Berkeley Postoffice and besides taking about a dollar in pennies from the till they helped themselves from the stock of candies and gum Of Miss Kate Teague, the Postmistress. They confess to this act and give the names of two other boys who were their compan- ions upon that occasion. They declare that they have not had a pair Of shoes in four years except as they picked them out of the dumps and they ate as If they had never seen a square meal before
 Officer Rawson says the boys have been expelled from school for taking things not their own and uncleanliness. It is believed that all of the fires and burglar ies of that place are due to this band of little desperadoes Warrants have been issued for the boys named and 1t Is ex- pected that they will be taken into cus- tody tonight.

He asked why it was that the board had employed an attorney for one employe of the board and not for the other ''Is this board to prosecute the charges against Principal Fitzpatrick and to sit as judges and jurymen as we'll" the director asked.
 It was explained that Attorney ODon- nell was the attorney of the board. but his duties were so defined that he would have to be especially employed to con- duct the present case. Director Gallagher moved that he be so employed. After considerable discussion as to the means of paying the attorney the motion was carried with Director Waller asking to be excused from voting on the motion.
