POLITICIANS AWAKE
Are Training For Primaries For the
 State Election.

Quite few of the boys in the fourth and fifth wards have gone into training for the primaries to be held here next fall to choose delegates to the state convention. The senator ship in the sixteenth district will be something of bone of contention and from all accounts several prominent men will make a try for it. So fa- most of them are being kept in the background. but there seems to be no secret about Attorney James Lynch being in the race with considerable backing.
 It is also understood that Senator Phelan would like to attend smother session of the general assembly and that there are many citizens who want to see him spend another term in the senate.
 It Is also said on what appears to be good authority that Alderman Hur- ley will be in the running. and if so, all competitors. whether limbs of the law or not. will be on the anxious seat to the last moment
 Of course nobody can tell what turn things may take between now and that time. so that it would be folly to make predictions just now, but it can be stated au'thoritatively that some preliminary work is now going on, and from all accounts whoever wins out will know that he was in fight.

CASH FOR TEACHERS
Will Not Receive Cheeks on Friday,
 Their Salary Day.

The teachers and all the employees of the school department will receive their first pay under the new admins traitor on Friday and will once more get paid by cash instead of by check, which has been in vogue the past two years. Under the last administration it was thought more convenient to pay l,y check and let the teachers cash It when they wished, but as this system involved large amount of work and as there was some doubt about its be- ing legal, the old system will again De put in use and the money will be hand ed out from the Manufacturers bank. There are about three hundred and fifty people employed under the school department and this meant just so many checks being drawn up every two weeks. These had to be signed by Clerk Fitzgerald and Superintend- ent Tinker, but Mayor Thoms and Comptroller Russell think it was against the rules of the charter, which says no one shall be allowed to sign checks for a draw on the city funds with the exception of the mayor and comptroller. As this would mean much work for these officials, it was thought best to go back to the old way. which is not at all objectionable to the teachers. At first 1t was thought that the teachers would have to go to the comptroller's office to ser their cash, but the chances are they will get 1t at the bank as they did in the past During the next two years the Manufacture bank will handle the city's money.

CALL FOR AID
Received From Texas
Towns Swept by Cy-
clone - Six Hundred
Are HOneIeSS-

Dallas, Texas, April 29.-Latest re
ports show that aside from the de-
struction of Bellevue and the fatal re-
suit there the work of the cyclone in
northern Texas was confined
to crops, live stock and farm property.
The destruction of Bellevue was prac-
tically complete. The wreckage was
burned into an ash heap and only
three small houses are left in the
town. Chairman Sidney webb, of
the relief committee. has called for
aid, saying: "Six hundred people are
homeless, and practically destitute,
thirteen we're killed and number
seriously injured. The entire town
is heap of ruins. Help of every kind
is needed and this relief committee
appeals to the public for aid"
The property loss at Bellevue is es-
timated at 100000. At Stoneburg the
loss is estimated at 100000, most of
which is on ten dwelling houses de-
stroyed.
Hamilton and Hyco escaped with
slight injury to the towns but extern
sive damage to crops.

ALLEGES DENICKE
OBEYED ORDER.
Lawyer for Man Charged
With Murder Argues
for Clients Dismissal

Ernest H Denicke claims that his
shooting down of an unknown stranger
on the waterfront during the big fire
nation Of Mayor Schmitz. On the
ground that the order of the Mayor
was 70 protect San Francisco from
looting and disorder even by shooting
to kill former Governor Budd declared
in his argument before Judge Lawlor
yesterday that the shooting was not
murder but merely the act of an officer
in the discharge of his duty.
1t was on a motion to dismiss the
information that the attorney was di
recting his argument. The case was
discussed by the counsel for defense
during the entire forenoon session and
continued until Monday morning, when
Assistant District Attorney John
O'Gara will reply.
With a shrewdness for which he is
noted Budd interwove into his argument
not only technical points by which it
is hoped to prove that the legal pro-
ceedings are not correct, but insinuated
that the District Attorneys Office has
taken this action to further some po-
litical ends.
Budd made two technical objections.
He declared that there was no deposit
tion, as required by law, that the com
plant should have been in the form of
question and answer, and further that
the complaint was not laid before the
Judge as a magistrate but before the
Superior Court as a whole. 1t was
further contended that no crime had
been committed, as the defendant was
acting in the performance of his duties.

LINDA LA|NG GOES
BACK To HUBBY.
DeclarestoJu dgeGraham
That She Really Has
No Desire for Divorce

All bushes and smiles, Linda Laing,
pretty blonde, admitted to Presiding
Judge Graham yesterday morning that
she did not want divorce from her
husband. She knew that he wanted to
leave for the East and concluded that
the best possible way of holding him
to the Pacific Coast was by bringing
a divorce suit. She really did not want
to lose william, so she said, and with
Judge Graham as the conciliator, the
pair kissed and made up and left the
Temple Sheriff. Israel in the best of
spirits.
Linda commenced her suit last week,
alleging that her husband was cruel
and also that he was inclined to be lazy.
Some funds of his in the bank were
tied up by injunction and the case was
set for trial yesterday.
AS is usual, the court wanted to know
If there was not chance that the pair
might settle their differences, and when
Laing and his wife came forward, hand
in hand, there was no question but
they could do so.
My husband is a carpenter who gets
81 a day." said Mrs. Laing. He wanted
to move East on some business propo-
sition that was made to him. l said
all right, if he would take mamma. He
said no, and that we would go alone.
L consulted a lawyer and thought the
best way was to commence a suit for
divorce"
The best thing for you folks to do
said Judge Graham, ''is to run along
home. Mr.. Laing, you had better stay
in San Francisco. You are making good
wages. ] am glad to see that you don t
want a divorce"
Because hubby played discord in
stead Of music when his wife was about
to sing in public, because, also, he
showed preference for other women
and fast society, Mrs. Alyse L. Bassett
asked for and obtained a divorce from
the former leader OF the Louvre or
chestra before Judge Graham yester-
day morning. Bernard Reginald Bas-
sett. the defendant, is now in Los
Angeles and did not appear to answer
to the charges.
Mrs. Bassett testified that when her
husband came home, after his work, If
he came home at all, he was in a state
of intoxication and that he abused her
Several occasions" she told the
court, when 1 was to sing and he was
playing the accompaniment he would
make discords, 1 suppose for the pur-
pose of humiliating me. I would talk
to him about it and his answer was
that If 1 did not like it 1 could tell the
Judge"
Most men will advise you to tell
your troubles to the policeman" sug-
gested Judge Graham.
Mrs. Bassett also related a CONVEX
sation she heard her husband have one
night with friend, in which Bassett
confessed his relations with other
women. The divorce was granted.
Divorce suits were fled yesterday
as follows: Carmen Schwartz VS.. A.
G.. Schwartz, husband convicted of a
felony; Nathalie Sahut VS.. Henry Sahut,
intemperance and failure to provide.
