WIDER ROADWAY IS
CHAMP|ONED,

Property owners representing 942
feet frontage on Montgomery street ex-
pressed themselves yesterday in favor
of the proposition to widen that high
way twenty feet. This opinion was
expressed at meeting of the Mont
gomery street property owners, held
in the rooms of the Merchants Associa-
tion, 779 Market street, and. while not
formal nor binding contract, shows
the inclination of holders OF real estate
most interested in the proposed scheme.
Opposed to the scheme for widening
the street We're owners representing $40
feet.
take any formal action on the matter
until after election time, when the con-
stituttonal amendment permitting the
Supervisors to undertake the widening
Of streets will have been passed upon.
In detail the expression of opinion on
the street widening proposition was as
follows: Afdrmative-East side: + w.

Company. Wells-Fargo. Pope estate,

Total, $40.
A Sbarboro presided at the meeting
and expressed himself strongly In ia
vor of widening the street.
IF the street is widened," he said.
''the entire city Will be benefited On
the continent of Europe much work has
been done in the Improvement of
streets. In Naples, Genoa and Milan
palaces have been torn down to make
the streets wider; Paris is what it is
today because it has wide streets and
many buildings were razed to accom-
plish that purpose"
l. w. Hellman Jr. reported that it
was found impossible to secure the
consent of all property owners to the
widening of the street and the work
would have to be carried out by con-
demnation proceedings. He added that
If the amendment to be voted upon car
ried it would be possible for the Super
yisors to condemn one street for the
purpose of improving another, and sug-
gested that Trinity place, which runs
parallel to Montgomery on the west
from Sutter to Bush might be appro-
priated and added to the depth of the
lots on Montgomery street, which
would be shaved by the widening OF the
latter thoroughfare.
In view of the nearness of the elec-
tion it was suggested that an adjourn
ment be taken until after that day. On

She DANCES OUT OF
HUSBAND LIFE.
Maude E. Dodge Whirls
With Other Men Until
Love of Spouse Dies
NEGLECTED CHILDREN

OAKLAND, Oct 25.-Waftzes and
polkas and occasional quadrilles dis
rupted the home of Edward c. and
Maude E. Dodge, who were divorced,
finally, today by Superior Judge Waste.
Mrs Dodge's prediction for tripping
the light fantastic toe caused her to
neglect her two children, her husband
claims, and often he went home in the
early morning hours to find the chill
dren with no one to watch over them.
Mrs Dodge went TO dances, on an aver
age three times a week and remained
away from home until late and unusual
hours.
Dodge was employed by the Oakland
Traction Consolidated and he quit work
at IL o'clock at night and 1 O'Clock in
the morning alternately. No matter
how late nor how early he went home,
however, his wife was not there.
The Dodges were married at san Jose
June 16y 1897, and after frequent child
ings, the result of her dancing proclivi-
ties, the wife abandoned husband and
children May %, 1905. Dodge lives with
the children at Twenty fourth street
and Eleventh avenue in East Oakland.
His former wife is supposed to be in
Gilroy.
Louis Silvera "didn't care for his wife
TO visit her mother" so she left him af-
ter numerous auarrels on that account
and went to live with her mother, Mrs.
Emma Erickson, at 964 Cypress street.
They were married May 4, 1901, and
Mrs Silvera says she was deserted Feb
ruary %, 1902. Today Judge Waste
granted a final decree of divorce in this
ease.
When I came home from work at
night l usually found the house desert
ed was the complaint of John Hunt
ing, who procured an interlocutory de-
cree Of divorce today from Celia E..
Hunting.
"She said she wished she had never
married me and left me-" said G. w.
Woodbey, TO whom Judge Ellsworth
granted an interlocutory decree OF di-
vorce from Josie Woodbey for deser-
tion. They were married March IA,
1903, and the husband was deserted two
years later.
Judge Waste granted an interlocu-
tory decree of divorce today to Camilla
A. Kenyon from Walter j. Kenyon on
the ground of desertion. He also
granted a final decree to James Ras-
mussen from Anna Rasmussen on the
ground of desertion. New divorce ae-
tions were begun by Dora Updike
against Clarence Updike, and Julius
Shields against Clarence Shields, the
grounds of both being desertion.

Miss KteMsDOnoLd

More than likely you speak the same
words yourself, and no doubt you feel
far from well. The cause may be easily
traced to some arrangement Of the fe-
male organs which manifestS itself in
depression of spirits, reluctance to go
anywhere or do anything, backache,
bearing-down pains, flatulency, nerv-
BUSINESS, sleeplessness, or other fe-
male weakness.
These symptoms are but warnings
that there is danger ahead, and unless
needed a life of suffering or a serious
operation is the inevitable result.
The never-failing remedy for all these
symptoms is Lydia E. Pinkham's Veg
etable Compound.
Miss Kate Mcdonald of Woodbridge,
N. j., writes:
Dear Mrs. Pinkham:
Restored health has meant so much 70 me-
that cannot help from telling about it for
the sake Of other suffering women
For a long time / suffered untold agony
with female trouble and irregularities,
which made me physical wreck, and no one
thought l would recover, but Lydia e. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound has entirely
cured me, and made me well and strcng, and
feel it my duty TO tell other suffering women
what splendid medicine it is
For twenty-five years Mrs. Pinkham,
daughter-in-law of Lydia E. Pinkham,
has under her direction. and since her
decease. been advising sick women free
OF charge. Her advice is free and
always helpful. Address, Lynn, Mass.

OAKLAND. Oct. 25.-Regarding the
assertion made by Sheriff Mansfield of
San Mateo County. that Chief of Po-
lice Wilson of this city had refused to
allow Under Sheriff Peter Kelly to take
Victor Ellsworth back to San Mateo
to be tried on charge of defrauding
an innkeeper, the Chief of Police says
that his reason for refusing to allow
the prisoner to be taken from Oakland
was that the law under which the war
rant for Ellsworths arrest had been
issued in San Mateo County had re-
Gently been repealed, and he did not
care to take chances on allowing Ellis
worth to escape after his arrest in
this city. The CHIEF added that aft
er Ellsworth had served his sentence
for discharging firearms in the city
limits, the San Mateo authorities might
have him and welcome.
