BICAMY CASE
TO GRAND JURY
Judge Kerrigan Annuls Mar
riage, but Finds Cause
for a Criminal Action
OLD TROUBLES SETTLED
Davies Divorce Case Dis
missed = Young Fischer's
Wife Weary of Matrimony

Judge Kerrigan yesterday annulled
the marriage Of Hattie Voeller and
William F. Hummeltenberg. 1t was
shown that the man with the unpro-
nounceable name welded in Honolulu
! in October, 1901. Then the bride found
out that her husband had another wife
! in New York, having married Grace
Cummings in 1891. Mary Elizabeth
! Cummings, mother of the first wife,
corroborated the testimony. The Judge
asked the woman why she had not
! prosecuted Hummeltenberg for bigamy.
/ She said she did not want him sent to
! Jail.
/ Judge Kerrigan thought that the case
! was one for the criminal court. He
( sent a letter to the Grand Jury regard
/ ing the case. Hummeltenbergs prose-
/ cution for bigamy will probably follow
! He is said to be in the city.
A dismissal was filed in the Superior
/ Court yesterday of the suit commenced
on June "a, 1903, by Elizabeth Montague
/ Davies against Lewis James Davies, a
wealthy resident of Sydney, New South
/ Wales. The indication is that the
breach in the domestic relations has
been healed. When Mrs. Davies COM
menced her suit she alleged that she
married Davies at Santa Clara on jan
uary Is, 1895. Some time after that he
was said to have begun scolding,
threatening and abusing. For portion
of four years they lived in Sydney, and
a friend, one Euphemia Stewart, was
their guest. Euphemia is said to have
become very familiar with Davies. Mrs.
Davies reproached her husband, where
upon he became angry. On November
II. 1902, she left him.
Mrs. Davies alleged that two children
were the issue of the union, and that
since their marriage Davies had accum-
ulated $400, 900 worth of property and
had an income of $4,000 a year She
made no specific demands for share
but asked the court for proper award.
Davies made no reply, except to contest
the jurisdiction of the local court on
the ground that he was a citizen of
New South Wales
Judge SlOss yesterday granted q di-
vorce to Alexander J. Macdonald from

CITY PRIHNDs or GOOD ROADS.
wHl the Farmers Accept Their AId or
Treat Them a. Msdalers.

Among those interested In road Inn
provement, the farmers Of coures stand
FIRST. The character and condition of
the roads are Of vital interest 10 them
every day Of the year. The farmers,
until recently, have been compelled TO
struggle with the road problem without
much help or encouragement from any
other class. Now, however, some strong
elements of the city population are
raIlying TO their support. Among
these may be named the manufacturer
OF road building machinery; the ak.
ers and users Of bicycles and automo.
bilesi and the moneyed men OF the
cities who have money invested In the
country. These people are entering
Into the work for the road improve
ment with even more enthusiasm and
zeal than the farmers.
/ Just now the farmers who want bet.
Ter roads are brought face to face with
q most important question: win he
accept the assistance OF these city al
liesl VIII he welcome the aid Of the
machinery man, the capital the b.
cyclist and the automobilist7 Or will
he treat them as schemets who are try.
ing TO meddle with his affairs2
The answer to these questions ought
% depend on what these city friends Of
good roads are proposing 10 do. they
propose 10 have the country roads Inn
proysdein order 70 increase their busi-
ness and enhance their pleasure,
wholly at the expense Of the farmer,
then me should spurn the profferd al
lance. II on the contrary they are
proposing, through state and national
taxation 10 lifta large part OF the bur-
den off the farmer and place II on the
taxpayers OF the cities, he ought 10 bid
them welcomes and extend to them the
glad hand.
This ls live question for the farmer
to consider and answer. Already the
opponents OF the state and national aid
are at work trying 70 sos seels Of sns-
picion IN the minds Of the farmers, and
they win dOtheir best TO prevent any
cooperation between the country and
The eityfriends Of good roads. a
Askmattef 81 fact state and national
aid offer the only hope Of general road
'inproyement. and such aid can never
be secured II the city people array
themselves against Il. Unless the
farmers are wholly blind to their own
interests, they will welcome aid from
every source, and will make every ei-
icrt'to secure. the powerful aid Of the
state and federal governments.
