parts of the poultry yards. The
posts r about six inches through
and square at the top, on which a
steel trap is set, fastened to the posts
by a light chain. The feathcred
come prowling about in search
of chickens, and they alight on the
top of the posts to take a look at
things. In doing that they get their

they stay till some one takes a close

Mrs. Clara D. Cowell, Weary
of Loneliness, Sues for a Di-
vorce From III. c. B. Cowell

Queer indeed has been the method of
aged 60, and Henry c. B. Cowell, her
husband, aged 46. They have been hus-
band and wife for eleven years. For
eight years they lived happily together
in Oakland and little boy was born
to them. Then they moved to this city
and took UP their residence in the
Western Addition, in a home erected
by Cowell. But, for some reason un-
known to Mrs. Cowell, they did not
live together Mrs. Cowell and her lit
tie boy. occupied the upper portion of
the house and the husband and father
lived in the lower portion. For three
years they lived thus, seeing each other
daily, but meeting as strangers. Mrs.
Cowell made repeated attempts at a
reconciliation, but Cowell repulsed all
her advances, and finally she deter
mined to sue for a divorce.
She filed the action charging her
husband with desertion. He was
served with summons, but refused to
answer, and yesterday when the case
came up in Judge Graham's court, his
granted an interlocutory decree, her
evidence and the evidence of a neigh
Dor proving that Cowell, though re-
siding in the same house as his wife,
was to her no more than a stranger.
The property rights of the couple were
settled by stipulation.
Judge Seawell granted Charles Rey-
nolds a divorce from Mary E. Reynolds
on the ground of technical desertion.
They also, like the Cowells, lived in the
same house, but not as husband and
wife According to the testimony, the
fault lay with Mrs. Reynolds. Rey-
nolds and Adela Mulford furnished the
testimony on which the decree was
granted. They both refused to take an
oath, telling the court they preferred to
affirm. The Reynoldses were married
twentyAhree years ago in Indiana.
Interlocutory DEGREES of divorce for
cruelty were granted to John H. Patton
from Josephine w. Patton, Mary e.
Robinson from William Robinson and
Frank p Mussio from Mamie Mussio.
The Mussios were married less than
six months ago.
Suits for divorce were filed by Millie
Randhahn against Richard Randhahn
for cruelty, and Isabella Williams
against Richard Williams for deser-
ton. Emolyne Cordelia Halliday, who
was married to John D. Halliday at
Redding in 1899, is seeking a divorce
on the ground of desertion, charging
that Halliday left her in July, 1900.

TO PAY PART
OF RECEIPTS
Geary-Street Railway Company
Agrees to Turn Over Five
Per Cent to City Treasury
NO TEMPORARY PERMIT
Corporation Must Waive All
Rights to the Rails, Subway
and Roadbed Along the Line

The Supervisors Public Utilities Com
mittee yesterday adopted resolution
providing that the treasurer of the
Geary street Railway Company pay to
the City Treasurer per cent of the
gross receipts of the company. in ac-
cordance with the provisions of the
charter beginning November 7. 1903,
and to continue during the temporary
operation CT the road by the company.
Inc resolution also provides that the
city shaI waive none of its rights by
the acceptance of the percentage from
the company which is specifically bar
red from asserting any rights to the
rails. subways or roadbed along the
route OF the road.
AS measure Gf precaution the reso-
luton was referred to the City Attor-
ney for his legal opinion as to whether
the acceptance of the money by the
treasurer would jeopardize the rights
OF the city in any particular.
President Plat stated that the direc-
tors of the company had voluntarily
submitted by resolution an offer to- pay
. per cent of the gross receipts pend
Ing the sale of franchise to the high
est bidder and would ask no affirmative
action on the partof the Supervisors.
The committee objected to the clause
providing for the sale of the franchise.
as it did not know what disposition of
the road would be made, since it might
decide to recommend the purchase of
the road by the city or might favor
that a boulevard be made of Geary
street.
When the committee announced its
decision, +. P. E. Troy wanted to be
heard, but Chairman Braunhart or
dered him to sit down. Finally Troy
was granted permission to speak and
asked the committee to insert a condi-
tion that the company keep Point Lo-
bos averr0e in repair.
Platt stated that the company will
agree to pave the space between the
rails and for two feet on either side
thereof, as required by the law in the
matter of granting street railroad fran
cnises, and will incorporate a condition
to this effect in the offer.
Owing to the opinion of the City
Attorney that the board has no right
to grant a temporary permit for the
nc action on that point. Braunhart
declared that nothing would be done in
the matter of the disposition of the
road before next June, when the bud
get is adopted, as it might be deter
mined that the city operate the road
out of it's current revenues Supervisor
Loughery thought a franchise should
be granted to the highest bidder and
that action should be taken in that re-
gard, as he was not in favor of al
lowing the road to run on sufferance
until next June. Braunh5st thought
there was a large element that would
oppose the granting of a franchise. 1t
was suggested that the $4,000 paid in
under the special levy for schools and
a hospital, since declared illegal, could
be used to acquire the road, but there
was a diversity of opinion on that
point.

SILK CULTURE INDUSTRY
MAY BE TRIED AT ASTI
gist That Capital Is Ready if Skilled
Labor Can Be Obtained.

Andrea Sbarboro, president of the

with c. F. Marlette of the United
States Department of Agriculture rela-
tive to the establishment of a colony
of silk workers on the property of the

County, for the purpose of engaging in
the production of silk in California on
a large scale. Mr.. Marlette has re-
Gently been investigating the possibili-
ties of silk culture in San Diego
County.
Mr.. Marlette says he has been as
sured by two prominent men that they
will help to get the nucleus of the
industry together. One of these is A.
Sbarboro, who has said that the sue
cess of the Asti colony would enable
him to get all the capital that is need
ed for the silk-growing proposition.
Mr.. Marlette Says also that he has
great faith in the success of the trial.
1t would not be necessary to have the
silk workers engaged all the time at
Asti in the silk industry. The silk
and grape seasons are different. The
Secretary of Agriculture and also DR..
Howard of the department are inter-
ested in the matter.
Mr.. Marlette will see whether the
officers of immigration will oppose the
bringing in of a small colony of silk
workers from Northern Italy. Only q
few months in the year is devoted to
silk culture. Women, children and
other laborers are engaged in the in
dustry in Italy. The starting point is
to get the skilled labor from there, so
Mr.. Marlette says, to give the new in
dustry a fair start.
