CONTEST FOR HEYWOOD HOME
CAUSES RECITAL OF SECRET
Widow of Deceased Capitalist Accuses
Adopted Daughter OF Breaking
Up Family.

Mrs. Agnes B. Haywood, widow OF
the late Franklin Haywood. and Ag-
mes Maud Haywood. adopted daughter
of the deceased, have Joined issues in
a contest for a homestead on the late
residence of the capitalist at 1890
Hayes street Mrs. Haywood fled her
answer yesterday TO the petition Of
Miss Haywood, asking the court to
declare a homestead in her favor. In
her answer Mrs. Haywood says the
homestead should be declared in her
favor and that in fact her husband
would have left her the property but
for the fact that the adopted daugh-
ter caused trouble between her and
her husband that was only settled a
short time before his death
At the time OF the adoption OF Miss
Agnes Maud Haywood. on May IL,
1877, SAYS Mrs. Haywood. she was a
willful child and often had TO be cor
rected. Mr.. Haywood objected TO the
correction of the child and the result
was the adopted daughter was al
lowed to have things her own way
until Mrs Haywood could stand it no
longer and on July 10, 1890, she
signed articles OF separation with her
husband. In 1892. however, says
Mrs. Haywood, a reconciliation was
effected by her with her husband and
they celebrated the event by trip to
Santa Cruz While there he died,
leaving an estate valued at $220, 900.
In view of the reconciliation Mrs.
Heywood claims the articles of sepa-
ration were nullified by her resump-
ton of marital relations and hence
she asks that decedent's old home be
set apart for her as a homestead and
that the petition Of the adopted
daughter be denied.

Electric Light Companies
Are in Danger of Losing
Privileges on Water Front
CAUSE OF TWO FIRES
Cost of Repairs to the Tug
Governor Irwin Excites
Comment i'm the Board

The electric light companies have
been notified several times that the
dead wires and tottering poles along
no attention whatever has been given
to the notices. Yesterday the State
Board of Harbor Commissioners
adopted a resolution that all privileges
on the front accorded to the light COM
panies would be revoked at the expira-
ton of ten days if the unused poles
and wires were not then removed.
In discussing the topic yesterday
Commissioners Spear and Crocker de-
cided that they would not take down
the poles and remove the dead wires
at the expense of the State. 1t was
asserted that the electric light COM
panies would be highly gratified IL the
commission should pay for the re-
moval of the distractions. The state
ment was made that two fires at Fol-
som-street wharf had been caused by
the old wires.
Commissioner Henry I Crocker is
somewhat surprised at the magnitude
of the expense account for repairs 10
the tug Governor Irwin. The bills in
the aggregate amount to s13,50O.
President Spear explained that the
boat was practically rebuilt at the sug-
gestion OF the Federal authorities, who
had condemned the craft

Bowers sued his wife, Mary c.. for di-
vorce. alleging intemperance. cruelty
and infideIity. When the case came 10

was proved nest of infaTny.
Letters introduced in court estab-
lished the fact that Mrs Bowers had
been the keeper OF a brothel at ST.
Helena and that while she was thus
engaged Bowers served her In the ca
pacity OF a procurer, securing the town
for young girls he-could induce to en-
ter the unspeskable institution con-
Quoted by his wife. When Judge Ora
ham heard these facts he threw the di-
vorce proceedings out of court. saying
neither party could commit an act
that would constitute basis for de-
cree of divorce. both having consented
to acts on the part OF the other tnat
placed them outside the relief Of the
law. He instructed counsel in the
case, however to place the facts as de-
veloped in the hands OF Chief Dinan
that prosecution might follow. The
discriminating letters are still in the
hands OF the court

living was two letters, in one OF which
Spurway admitted he was a bigamist
and In the other a Mrs. Mary Spurway
said she was the first wife OF the de-
fendant and Spurway had never d.
vorced her. Judge Hebbard held, how
ever, that letters did not always set
forth the truth and he demanded fur
ther evidence. Yesterday ]. L Marsh

testified as TO the truth OF the asser-
tions contained in the letters and the

COMMISSION TO PROTECT
OCEANSIDE FROM FIRE
VIII Endeavor TO Utilize Water In
Golden Gate Park Reservoir
for the Purpose.

The Fire Commission met yesterday
and adopted the recommendation OF
Chief Sullivan that steps be taken to
afford fire protection for Oceanside- In
his recommendation Sullivan states
that the Spring Valley Water Com
pany has twice refused to lay mains in
the district because the income from
hydrants would not warrant the ex-
pense. Sullivan suggests that the per-
mission of the Park Commission be re-
quested to connect an eight-inch main
with the ten-inch main leading from
the Dutch windmill and reservoir IN
Golden Gate Park. the main TO run
along the Great Highway to p street
In the event that the Park Commls-
sioners grant the request TO use the
water in case of necessity, then the
Board of Supervisors will be asked TO
appropriate $4,000 in the next budget
to carry out the Improvement Sulli-
van says that fire protection is impera-
tive because more than 200 houses
have been built IN the district and
would be at the mercy OF a conf1agra-
ton.
The commission asked the City At
torney for an opinion as to whether
substitutes can receive the same pay az
the members of the department whom
they relieve. It Is the practice TO pay
substitutes $50 per month. whereas
the pay Of men relieved is SEQ to
800 per month. The extra money is
turned back into the city treasury and
does no good to any one
The City Attorney was also asked
for an opinion as to whether IL Is
within the power OF the commission to
allow employees OF the corporation
yard and stables an annual vacation
the same as other members Of the Fire
Department
