MRS. REED SUES
FOR MORE CASH
Divorced Wife of Guatemalan
Says Husband Gave False
Account of His Property
FORCES NEW LAW POINT
Supreme Court Will Decide
Status of Man and Wife
During Probation Year

George w Reed, Guatemalan planter
and raiser of coffee of rich aroma, is not
yet beyond the legal reach of Mrs. Helen
B. Reed who divorced him just little
over year ago. A few weeks ago Reed
attorney appeared before Judge Trout
and demanded that the interlocutory de-
cree issued to Mrs. Reed be entered as
final on the records.
Louis P. Eoardman, attorney for Mrs.
Reed, objected to the order. saying Reed
was entitled TO no relief, legal or eQuit-
able, as he had committed the crime. of
bgamy by remarrying within the statu-
tory year that must elapse from the date
of the decree to make him again single
man Judge Trout denied the motion
and the final decree was entered. In the
meantime Reed arrived in the city, went
70 Oakland and claimed as his bride
Mrs Louis Orear of that city, the cere-
mony being performed last Saturday.
But nothing daunted Mrs. Reed and her
attorney again appeared before Judge
Trout yesterday and asked that the or
der entering q final decree be set aside
and that Reed be summoned for exam
ination upon q motion for redistribution
of community property Attorney Board
man also made q demand for $500 counsel
fees and 500 costs. All of the motions
were denied and in behalf of Mrs. Reed
notice Of appeal was given.
This appeal is TO determine the moot
question whether a man and his wife
bear the same legal relations and owe
each ether the same duties during the
tine elapsing between the granting Of
the tnterlocutory and the final decree
Of divorce as they did before the pro-
cee6ings were instituted
Mrs Reed alleges that Reed was
man Of comparative wealth when she
began the interlocutory proceedings for
divorce on June 3, 1905, and that he ef-
fected & private settlement with her.
At this time he was infatuated with the
charms OF Mrs. Orear. and less than two
months after the granting of the first
decree, Mrs. Reed alleges, the two en-
barked for Guatemala. On the steamer
they registered as husband and wife and
az the plantation home in the south Reed,
Il is claimed, always introduced the wo-
man as his wife.
Judge Trout admitted that the point
involved was a new one, and that no de-
cision had ever been made on it. He
told Mrs. Reed that he would enter the
final decree, but that she should file an
objection with him so that the case could
be Immediately taken to the Supreme
Court of California. This was done yes
ter6ay.
The first wife Of the Guatemalan plant
er also alleges that she was fraudulently
treated in the first distribution Of the
community property, and asks that new
assignment be made.

ADAMS TELLS
ABOUT WATER

Arthur l. Adams, consulting engi-
neer for the Contra Costa Water Com
pany, occupied the witness chair yes
terday afternoon in the courtroom Of
United States Commissioner Heacock,'
NJ. B. Kellogg appeared for the Spring
Valley Water Company and City At
torney Long for the city. -
Mr. Adams expressed the opinion that
Engineer Grunsky's proposed Tuolumne
water system was impracticable and
would cost very much more than the
estimates given by Mr.. Grunsky. The
witness declared that an adequate
water supply could not be brought to
this city by a single pipeline from the
Tuolumne watershed. and that double
pipeline would cost $4,000, 900 to bring
water to this city. exclusive OF the
distributing system, and a third pipe
line, which the witness asserted would
be absolutely necessary, would add
s13,000,000 to the foregoing estimate,
The witness did not consider the
scheme a safe one To install the Tuo-
lumne system with an equivalent ca
pacity to that of Spring Valley. namely
$4,000, 600 gallons daily. would cost not
less than s5o,o0o,oo0, in the opinion OF
the witness. There was no ex-
travagance. he said. in the construction
of the Spring Valley system and great
foresight had been shown in acquiring
properties capable of expansion from
a supply of 21,000,0O0 gallons daily at
present to one exceeding that by S,000.-
900 gallons daily. BY bringing in Por-
tola Creek and the Alameda system 1t
is capable of expansion to $4,000, 900
gallons daily. which, added to the pres
ent capacity, would bring 1t UP to s6,-
500. 900 gallons.
The witness gave his opinion that the
Spring Valley Company had acted
wisely in acquiring a great many prop
critics for further use. He considered
the retention of Lake Merced a wise
thing. for. the reason that all water
systems should have source OF supply
near the city in case of emergency.
The witness said further that Grun-
sky's proposed Tuolumne water system
could not be built inside of eight years,
and that if the work were begun now
this city in 1913 would require not less
than 45,000,0O0 gallons daily, an in
crease of 100000.
Mr.. Adams will resume his testimony
at D. m. to-day.

Stanley C. Herold OF San Jose had no
sooner arrived In the CITY and deposited
his gripsack in a hotel than he went to
the barber shop at 60 Ellis street to get
a shave and shampoo and the stains of
travel removed from his garb. AS he
had not walked from San Jose his shoes
We're clean enough to pass muster In po-
lite society, but that fact did not deter
an enterprisng bootblaek from insisting
on shining them as their wearer reclined
in the chair. Mr.. Herold's recumbent at
tttude prevented him offering any resist
ance more strenuous than oral protest,
which was unavailing, and when he was
released from the tonsor's hands his foot
gear was aglitter and the bill presented
to him included an item of 10 cents for
the shine. This he resolutely declined to
pay, whereupon the proprietor of the es-
tablishment commandeered his hat,
doubtless hoping thereby to induce its
owner to pungle up the one dime short
age. But he underestimated the stern
ness Of the stuff he was contending with.
Instead of yielding to what he volubly
pronounced an attempt to extort, Mr..
Herold went forth with barred head and
recounted the incident to Judge Caba-
Miss, who issued search warrant for the
recovery of the hat or the arrest of its
holder. The outcome OF the case is
breathlessly awaited.

lor yesterday for contempt of court.
The motion for arrest of judgment was
denied and at O'Grady's request SEN
tence was postponed until Tomorrow
morning.
When the case was called yesterday
morning the motion for arrest Of
Judgment was argued by o'Grady for
the defendant and by Attorney John
A. Hosmer for the prosecution. The
points urged had been practically de-
cided upon when the Judge overruled
the demurrer and the motion was
promptly denied.
The Judge asked If the defendant
was ready for sentence and OGrady
asked for a few days in which to make
showing, as he desired to- present
matters in mitigation Of punishment.
The Judge continued the case till to-
morrow morning.
In the matter of the O'Grady con-
tempt O'Grady said that before pro-
ceeding he would like the reporter to
read what had actually transpired, SO
