SAN PEDRO, Feb. 1.-THE action of
the Miner syndicate for concessions in
the outer harbor, by which it is to re-
claim 1913 acres of water front and i'm
prove with a sea wall and structures to
cost something like two million dollars,
has caused the greatest enthusiasm in
the city of anything that has happened
since the commencement of the big
breakwater Today almost everybody is
rejoicing and property values have
taken new turn. Much of it has adj

struction, will bring 1000 or 5000 laborers

For many years the charts of the

to be twenty-three feet below the sur
face at low tide. Mariners have secuted
| the idea generally that such an OBJ
struction held a place there at all,
but it is down on the charts and they
have tried to steer clear of the spot
as far as possible. At times as high as
thirty vessels have been at anchor in
the harbor there and at other times
the wind has dragged boats around
| nearly all over the bay and no one ever
yet located the stone. Much talk con-
corning it has been going on lately and

out. They have been at work with

| that there is no such an obstruction.
and in all probability the charts will
have 1t marked out.

DIVORCE FOLLOWS
INSULTING NAMES
HUSBAND HAS NO H0NEYED
PHRASES FOR WIFE
Calls Her Renegade" and "Crank"
and Caps the Climax by De-
claring She Cannot Bake
Bread

Letters which were headed by most
"un" -endearing terms and phrases
formed the basis upon which Mrs. c. A.
Kinderman was granted an interlocu-
tory decree of divorce from her hus-
band, C. A. Kinderman, yesterday by
Judge D. X. Trask of the superior
court.
The letters were many in number
and evidently at one time kept Kinder
man busy indting epistles to his wife
which were intended for apparently no
other purpose than to abuse and urge
her to commence divorce proceedings.
However, each letter contained some
threat of similar action ON the part of
the husband.
The unhappy couple married in 1903.
Shortly after that, according to the tes-
timony Of the prosecution, their VEN
ture upon the matrimonial sea began to
loom up as failure to them.
Had Another Woman
From the tone of the letters with
which the attorneys for Mrs. Kinder
man were overburdened, Kinderman
had discovered a woman who was
lone million times better than his
legal spouse.
IF you will only come down and visit
me at my boarding house." Kinderman
wrote his wife, who was in this city
while he was mining in Big Bar. Cal,
the one woman will show you how
to bake bread and not burn it to a
crisp on the bottom and top and leave
Il raw in the middle"
On other occasions he addressed Mrs.
Kinderman as his dear renegade" his
"cranky crank" and his "chief of all
sulks." Each letter headed by one of
these affectionate phrases contained
demands for sums of money which he
claimed he had loaned her and varied
in amounts from $25 to $7S. All of the
alleged loans Mrs. Kinderman denied
having received.
At present Kinderman is mining in
Big Bar Cal, and Mrs. Kinderman is
proprietor of a hotel in Corona, Cal.
At the time of the receipt of the letters
she was employed as cook at the Gray
Gables apartment house at the corner
of South Hill and West Seventh streets.
other DEGREES
Other interiocutory DEGREES granted
yesterday were:
Mollie Forsyth from A. L. Forsyth
on grounds of desertion; Charles Fraser
from Lola B. Fraser, both of Santa
Barbara, on grounds of desertion. Mrs.
Annie Toffelmier secured decree Of
maintenance of $40 per month from her
husband. j. A. Toffelmier. whose in
come Is $50 per month.

Special to The Herald.
SAWTELLE, Feb. 1.-THE proposed
consolidation of city and county of Los
Angeles is expressing the minds of
residents of Sawtelle.
In an informal canvass of the town
the voters and most prominent citizens
expressed themselves as favorably in
clined to the proposed consolidation.
A few DIRECTORS contend that the pos
sible increase of taxation involved in
the bonds needed for the Owens river
scheme as a part of Greater Los An

while those in favor met the objection
with the contention that advanced
values in real estate would result.

HUNGARIAN CRISIS EXPLAINED
Premier Says Hunger for Sovereign
Power Is Cause of the
Trouble
BY Associated Press.

BUDAPEST. Feb. 1.-The hunger for
sovereign power and the attempt TO
restrict the constitutional rights and
functions of the chief Of state in such
way "as even the president of a
republic would not submit to-" are de-
clared by Premier Fejervary to be the
real causes Of the crisis in Hungary.
The coalition, he says in an interview,
wishes to restrict the legal, sovereign
rights OF the king in regard to the
control and organization Of the army
and make them dependent ON the dis
erection of changing parliamentary au-
thoritles, whereas the right of parlia-
ment Is limited by law TO approval or
rejection OF votes for army credits and
the annual contingent Of recruits.

Received Fine Horses
Six beautiful stations, ranging in

received on Thursday by S. C. Parsons,
who has them in charge at the Parker

A. b. Holbert of Greeley, Iowa, is said
to have personally imported and sold
more draft and coach horses than any
other living man in America and is
known as the proprietor of the Greeley
Horse Importing company of Iowa.
This valuable carload includes two
handsome black Percheron colts, two
years old; a French coach horse, four
years old; a German coach horse and
two other superb draft horses, weighing
about a ton each. In action and style
these animals are perfect and they

who have seen them. At the ST. Louis
fair and also at the Chicago world S
fair Mr.. Holbert showed the German
coach horse from Holstein for the
German government and won more
prizes according to the number exhib-
tied than any other firm. These royal
bred animals will be a great acquisi-

Robbed of His Cash
John Taylor, we'll known driver of

cash last night or this morning and
has but meager clue to the robbers.
Taylor has rooms in the Ascot barn just
off South Raymond avenue, and went
to bed late because of a sick child.
After he had retired he was aroused by
two tramps who asked to be allowed to
sleep in the barn. This is his only clue
for when he awoke this morning, the
dences that the tramps had spent the
night in the barn.
Ransacked the House
When H. J. Webb and wife returned
from a trip out of the city this morn
ing they found that burglars had ran
sacked their house at 315 State street
and carried off articles and money to
the value of about $75. The police are
of the opinion that the burglars are
local talent who have been watching
the house until the owners were known
to be out of the city and who then made
the raid in safety. From the thorough
manner in which everything was gone
over the thieves evidently hoped to find
more valuable articles or money con-
cealed about the house.

General AGENTS Troubles.

The life OF a general agent of a
railroad Is not altogether one Of pure
unadulterated joy, according to the
story Of one OF the men who looks al.
ter the general affairs Of a railroad

the railroader says. the life of a gen.
eral agent is at times a bit strenuous,
and if he Is not posted upon any sub
ject relating. to his or other roads. or
the country through which they run
he must at least make a blum at
knowing it all, or else s~Haightway,
both he and his line will fall into a
measure of disrepute with a portion
of the public. Here are a few things
that a general agent has to do daily,
according to the Pueblo %railroader:
He must know all about Tallahoo-
pole, Ind, how to get there, and what
the stage fare Is from the railroad
Maybe he never heard OF allahoo-
pole and he can't find 1t in the books
but he must satisfy the anxious in

run a dining car In order that he can
intelligently discuss the question with
a motherly woman who has invented
a new system for preserving meats
