Presiding Judge Graham refused
divorce yesterday to Josiah J. Rose.

life, decided that he did not wish to
endure the restraint of the matrimonial
bonds any longer. Rose appeared in

OF divorce from Carrie X. Rose on the
ground of cruelty. charging her with
untidy habits and failure to properly
attend to her household duties. Mrs.
Rose did not appear at the time. and
Judge Graham continued the case for
one week in order to investigate the
case and hear her side of the story of
their domestic troubles.
Mrs. Rose appeared yesterday morn

one of her five children. and declared
that she still loved her husband and
had no desire for divorce. see ex-
planned her husbands action by stating
that she believed him to have become
enamored of some other woman and
denied the charges he made against
her. Her son also testified in her be-
half, insisting that she was a good
housekeeper and that his father was
in position to procure hired house
keeper in case he were dissatisfied. The
family now lives in Berkeley, having
been burned out of their home in San
Francisco.
Rasmus Iverson was granted a d.
vorce from Annie Iverson by Judge
Trout on the ground of desertion
which he claims occurred in October
1905. Matilda Munier, a witness for
the plaintiff, said that the trouble be-
tween Iverson and his wife was due
to the latter's love for society, for
which her husband showed no fond
ness. She said that Mrs. Iverson de-
serted him because he refused to mend
his ways in regard to the observance
of social customs. Mr.. and Mrs Iver-
son were married January 1. 1900

WOULD ENJO|N THE
$4,000 BEAUTY

Suit has been commenced by Harry
James for an injunction to restrain
the production at the Mission Theater
of certain scenes in the play. The
$4,000 Beauty" which he alleges have
been stolen from the one-act musical
comedy, Fiddle Dee Dee" for which
he says he has the exclusive rights of
production in San Francisco and Los
Angeles for a period of twenty-four
weeks. The defendants named in his
suit are Allen Curtis, Harry Lewis, AL
Bruce, Fred Cutter, Marjorie Lake,
Lois Cecile Hobson and E. Fried
James claims that he purchased the
rights to Fiddle Dee Dee" from
Weber & Fields through the witmark
agency on May 1S and is now prepar-
ing to produce the play at the Wig
wan on Mission street expecting that
1t will net him $500 a week profit. Be-
ginning with this week a play called
The $4,000 Beauty" has been pro-
duced nightly at the Mission Theater,
which play James alleges includes
exact copies of parts of Fiddle Dee
Dee" known as the Swiss scene" and
the Check scene" He says that the de-
PENDANTS have refused to comply with
his request that this be discontinued,
and that as these scenes are the piv-
otal points of his production he will
lose patronage which should rightfully
be his.
James asks not only for an injunc-
ton, but for $1,000 damages and an
accounting of all profits at the Mis-
sion Theater while the play has been
in progress.

JUDGMENT AGAINST
TRANSATLANTIC

D. villalon was awarded judgment
by Judge Graham yesterday in the sum
of $500 against the Transatlantic Fire
Insurance Company of Hamburg, Ger
many, on a policy of insurance COW
ering personal property and household
goods destroyed in a dwelling at 2049
Powell street The judgment included
costs of the suit and was for the full
amount asked.
The case was argued several days
ago before Judge Graham, the company
basing its defense on the theory that
Villalon made no effort to save his
property and that the formation Of
fire lines and actions of the military
authorities in refusing property owners
admission to their homes was unlaw-
full. Villalon declared that it was i'm
possible for him to save his goods.
Judge Graham held that the contention
of the company was untenable and that
property owners could not be bound
to go to the extremity OF physical en-
deavor in order to protect their rights
under insurance policies.
Suits on insurance policies were yes
ferday filed by p. MEG. Mclean against
the German Insurance Company Of
Rochester for $500. and by Sidney VI
Smith against the Caledonian Fire In
surance Company for $4,000.
