ORDERS WIRES
TO Be REMOVED
Hewitt Threatens to Enforce
Ordinance That Prohibits
All Overhead distractions

AS the result of the investigation of
into the failure of the Department of
Electricity to enforce the ordinance
requiring all wires to be placed under
ground in four designated districts,
Chief Hewitt yesterday sent notices to
the various companies maintaining
overhead wires to remove them forth
with. The notice says:
You are hereby notified that in ac-
cordance with the power and authority
given me as provided in section 4, or
der PA, Board of Supervisors, shall
proceed at the expiration of forty-eight
hours, beginning at a. m. Monday,
April 3, 1905, to take down and re-
move poles and overhead construction
remaining in all underground districts
not exempt under the provisions of the
order"
The time limit granted to any cor
poration or individual to. remove their
poles in underground district No. l.,
which are used by the fire alarm and
police telegraph until such time as the
Department of Electricity can remove
its wires therefrom, has long since ex-
pired. The companies whose poles and
wires are to be taken down by Hewitt
according to his notification are: The
San Francisco Gas and Electric Com
pany. Pacific States Telephone Com
pany, Mutual Electric Light Company,
American District Telegraph Company
San Francisco Electric Protective
Company, Independent Messenger
Company, Bay City Special Messenger
Service, Municipal Burglar Alarm
Company, Spring Valley Water Com
pany, Western Union Telegraph Com
pany, Postal Telegraph Company.
Central Light and Power Company,
California Special Messenger Service,
Pacific Auxiliary Fire Alarm Company,
Direct Line Telephone Company, So
cial Telephone Company and Gold and
Stock Telegraph Company.
The San Francisco Electric Protec-
tive Company is the burglar alarm
concern which was allowed by Hewitt
to string overhead wires. despite the
fact that its franchise obtained from
the Board of Supervisors required the
wires to be placed underground. Some
of the minor companies named en-
gagged in messenger service have re-
ceived no permit at all to string over
head wires.

GETS. CONTROL
OF Her CHILD
Bitter Contest Is Practically
Brought to a Close in
Winifred LIE F'ebre Case
CONTEMPT NOT PRESSED
Mother Is Triumphant Over
the Effort of David Hyman,
the Parent by Adoption

The proceedings instituted by Mrs.
Stockton, to regain possession of her
daughter, Winifred LIE Febre, years of
age, were practically brought to close
in Judge DUNES court yesterday. The
case was continued for two months,
and meantime the child will remain in
the custody of her mother, and if moth
ing unforeseen happens she will con-
tinue to remain with her.
At the time of the childs birth Mrs.
Alice LIE Febre, it's grandmother, gave
it into the custody of Rev. J. w. Dan
iels of the Children's Home Finding So
ciety without the mothers knowledge
or consent Through him the child went
into the possession of David Hyman, a
jeweIer in Oakland. who later trans
ferred his business to this city. Hyman
took out adoption papers and the child
was baptized as Fern Beatrice Hyman.
Last year when Mrs. Freitas learned
for the first time where the child could
be found she called upon Hyman and
made a demand upon him for its re-
turn, which was refused. Thereupon
she applied for writ of habeas corpus
before Judge Dunno. AT the hearing
Hyman declared that he loved the child
and would do anything rather than
surrender her. The case was continued
and meantime Hyman disappeared
with the child. All efforts to trace their
whereabouts were futile until recently,
when they were located in Chicago.
Hyman was induced to return with
the child and he appeared in court with
her yesterday. His attorneys pleaded
his great love for the little one as an
excuse for disobeying the order of the
court and the Judge in the circum-
stances did not punish him for con-
tempt. Hyman again pleaded for pos
session of the girl, but the Judge or
dered her restored to her mother, con-
tinuing the case for two months.

USE OF THE TELEPHONE
ON THE CONGO RIVER
Great Heat Renders 1t Impossible to
Talk Over the Line During
Middle of Day.

The telegraph and telephone lines Of
the Belgian Congo region show some
peculiarities both in the construction
of the lines and their operation, owing
to the climate and the character of the
country.
Where the lines run through the
forests, the wires are placed as much
as possible upon trees and in other
cases upon iron poles. The wire, which
is of phosphor-bronze, is painted black,
sa as not TO attract the attention of the
natives, who lay hands upon all he
copper they can find
The other brilliant objects of the
line, such as the insulators, are also
painted black. A cutting 80 feet wide
is made through the forest for the line,
so that there is no risk of fire or from
falling trees.
Besides the telegraph offices of Leo
poldyille, Kwamouth and Coquithat-
Vile, there are nine telephone offices

A Federal Bureau of Matrimopy.

New York World.
 From war to motherhood President Roosevelt touches no subject that he does not adbrn with his moralities. One day he breaches to tract society, the next to a congress of matrons. If he mixes his texts, he is still always the fighting man. Christianity, ma ternity and militarism seem queer diet to serve up Tor daily consumption. Possibly it is because the public takes its Roosevelt salt not by pinches but by handfuls that the mixture finds favor. t..
 MT. Roosevelts besetting doctrine Is that men must marry and women bear children, healthy children and plenty of them. Male children, his logic runs, must be reared to be fit to fight and female children to bear more children fit to fight. Napoleon never took half so moral tone when he called on the mothers of France for more soldiers.
 Some day MT Roosevelt may realize that these matters regulate them selves. There is no telling. He bade the last congress attend to the hus- bands who abuse their wives. by hav- ing them whipped. Who knows but some future message may hinge on the necessity of creating a federal bureau of bachelors. with compulsory matri- mony as the penalty for offenders against his personal code?

ANOTHER ACT SMASHED.
Morgan County Court Bill Declared to
 Be Unconstitutional

The Supreme Court of Alabama yes terday declared unconstitutional the act of the last Legislature attempting to repeal an act of the Legislature of 1899 which established the County Court of Morgan County. The case In which the decision was rendered was that of the State Of Alabama ex rel. Massey Wilson. Attorney General, V. D. W. Speake, Judge of the Eighth Judicial Circuit
 A mandamus was issued directed to Judge Speake compelling him to re- store to the docket of the County Court a certain case in question.
 The act of 1903 which purported to repeal the act of 1899 was declared un- constitutional because, as set forth Tn the opinion, 1t did not comply with the new Constitution which requires that the notice of the intention to apply for the act shall be given to the people embracing the substance thereof and that the purpose of the act shall be set out in the title.
 The Morgan County Court. therefore, is now of full force and effect and in accordance with the original enact ment will have concurrent jurisdicti oiI over misdemeanors committed within the County limits.
