GETS DIVORCE FOR DESERTION
Man Who Neglected Her
and Child

Dear Eva, try to remember me at
my best. God bles you; he has for
saken me. Yours ever, Walt"
The above excerpt from a letter from
w. V. Newman to EvangeIine New
man to prove desertion and failure to
provide on the part of her husband.
They were married at Winslow, Ariz.,
March 1, 1902, but they have not been
living together for three years.
1t was shown by the testimony that
Newman, after striking his wife while
drunk. went away and enlisted in the
United States navy. He contributed
nothing toward the support of his wife
and child during the time he was in
the navy and his wife was not able to
get any word to him that she was in
need of money. She finally did, through
the assistant secretary of the navy, let
him know that she was in need, but her
husband refused to send her any money
or have anything further to do with
her.
Mrs. Newman has been supporting
herself by cooking in a hotel in Los
Angeles. ,..-.
Two witnesses were introduced to
substantiate her statements and their
testimony bore out in every particular
her statements on the same subjects.
After few questions in regard to
the means by which Mrs. Newman has
been supporting herself Judge Trask
granted the decree.

NORTH WELCOMES
MISS LANGHAM
ACTRESS SCORES SUCCESS AS
LADY BABBlE
Clever Member of Belasoo Stock Conn
pany Appears In "The Little
Minister" at San Franz
cisco Theater
sneclal 10 The Herald.

Special to The Herald.
SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 1A-As a
rule, when an actress of the first rank
has shown how part can be played
to be effective, the number of other
imitation is very large. Several have
followed Maude Adams in Lady Bah
bic the sprite character of THE Lit
tie Minister" but they have, as a
rule, lacked something of the eerie
mischief of the girl.
Last night at the Alcazar theater,
Margaret Langham, young actress
new to San Francisco, appeared as
Babbie, and she had at least more of
that quality i'm her than any of her
predecessors except the original She
has played in New York and she has
been making a hit in Los Angeles IN
the BelasCo stock company She is
young, she cannot hide that and a
trife initiative and self-conscious, but
she has very unusual temperament,
which in this line promises well, and
she has refinement, which is almost
too noticeable.
1t was a most creditable perform
ance of a role i'm which theater goers
remember Miss Adams, and it pleased
the large audience sufficiently to
necessitate many Temperatures before
the curtain. Personal magnetism and
true girlishness helped Miss Langham
very materially in Lady Babbie. She
takes her audience with her without
effort, and in comedy she may look
forward to high place on the stage.

CRUSHED BY ELECTRIC CAR
Alexander Leoe, Driver of Milk
Wagon, Suffers Serious Injuries
in CoIIision

Pinned beneath the crushed side of a
milk wagon which he had been driving
Alexander Leoei of 127 West Twenty
third street lay for nearly a half hour
yesterday evening unable to move and
suffering from injuries received in the
collision with an eastbound Pacific
Electric car at Also and Anderson
streets.
According to witnesses, Leoei drove
his wagon in front of the swiftly NOV
ing electric car. AS the body of the
wagon reached the track there was a
crash and the milk wagon was hurled
to one side a complete wreck. De-
tached from the wagon, the horses
plunged away on Also street.
Leoei was left buried beneath the
pile of debris, in which the wagon had
been converted, and was wedged in sc
that he was unable to move. Cut by
the broken glass and injured about the
head and body by the terrible force OF
the collision, the driver was rendered
unconscious.
When he did regain his senses it was
only to suffer in pain for some time
without relief. Witnesses stood about
the wagon questioning what had bet
ter be done. The man was taken out
of the debris and sent to his home
where he lies in a critical condition.

conductor Is Granted peoree

Amos C. Weaver, a conductor on one
of the trolley systems of Los Angeles,
presented a petition yesterday in Judge
Trask's court asking for a decree Of
divorce from his wife, Annie S. Weaver,
who now resides in Lancaster, Pa. The
grounds alleged were desertion. The
reason that his wife deserted him. as
told by Weaver, was that she thought
that he was staying out nights when in
reality his work compelled him to work
from / o'clock in the afternoon until
midnight. The decree was granted.

A great flash of fire, followed by a

o'clock last evening. Investigation re-
Vealed the fact that an explosion of oil
had occurred in one of the Amalga-

Southern Pacific yards at Leroy and

that could be assigned for the explosion
was the possible breaking OF an electric
