Case Of Wronged Wife.
Anna zsoldos On Saturday morning
filed petition in common pleas court
asking for a dissolution Of the mar
riage contract existing between her
self and her husband, Frantz Zsoldos,
and for an order OF court restoring
her maiden name.
She says they wera married in June,
1893, at Macy Rakos, Hungary, and
that no children have been born or
their marriage. She says that In May,
1906, her husband, without any provo
cation whatever, struck her with a
pitchfork across her arms and chest
and that he struck and beat her In
the face at other times until her eyes
were discolored. She charges gross
neglect OF duty and the common neces-
saries of life. Habitual drunkenness
for more than twelve years is another
ground alleged by the wife against
her husband. Craine G. Snyder, at
torneys.

JUDICIAL UsURPATIoN.

There is no more live topic than the
usurpation Of power by courts. Gov
ernmenf By Injunction" has become no
idle phrase. II seems az times as II
there was no function Of the govern.
ment that courts would not interfere
with.
The theory Of our governments, both
national and state is that there are
three coordinate branches Of govern.
ment-iegislatiye, executive and judi.
cial. Unless the assumption OF power
by certain judges is quickly ended
there will be but one department-thc
judicial. It will have absorbed all
power and we will have become a ju.
dicial oligarchy.
All well.wlshers Of our government
should join in condemnlng these
wrongful assumptions Of power by the
courts.
Recently, Judge Swan, in the United
States court at Detroit, enjoined the
city council from passing ordinances
regulating street car traiic in that
city. The injunction was granted in
suit brought by the Guaranty Trust Co,
of New York, trustee for bonds issued
by the Detroit United Railway. The
defendants were the city Of Detroit, It's
mayor, attorneys and members of its
city council, and also the Detroit Uni
ted Railway. The action is so extra.
ordinary that the very language Of the
court had better be used.
ut is hereby ordered: (a) That the
several defendants above named, other
than the Detroit United Railway, be,
and they, and each of them are hereby
enjoined and restrained until the fur
ther order OF the court from doing any
act or taking any steps in the enact
ment or passage OF the proposed So
called 'Hally ordnance or
enacting or passing any ordinance OF
substantially the same import, or any
proposed ordinance Of which said so
called Hally ordinance has been pro-
posed as substitute or amendment"
1t must be remembered that the city
council is part of the legislative de-
partment of the government. The
state legislature delegates to its the
power TO regulate certain local affairs.
The court might just as well enjoin
the state legislature from passing
Law as to enjoin the city couicil from
passing an ordinance.
Courts have power to pass upon the
validity and meaning Of laws'and ordi-
naDees after they have been enacted.
The legislative department has excsn.
siye authority TO enact them. This

winter and spring. The phrase "unde-

speech about the beginning Of last
April at the time Of the publication of
E. II. Harrimans private letter 10
Sidney webster-an incident that
stirred the Rooseveltian energy to vol.
canic activity. During the period Of
eruption there was an extraordinary
sceneSat the white house whittier tn,
president had summoned Washington
representatives of leading newspapers
in order that his side of the Hartman
story should be published. The presi.
dent was earnest, emphatic, excited,
and explanatory. In an outburst OF
wrath he declared:
Hartman and Rockefeller are back
ing Hearst. and want to put Hearst
Debs, Haywood, Meyer and Hartman
in the same class as anarchists and
undesirable citizens. The fight Is

PLAYING RULES
Agitation Started to Change Some Of
Them.

Although the rules and regula
tions under which professional base
ball games are played are regarded as
so near letter perfect that importan,
changes are made in them only at very
long intervals, there are good many
many intelligent and faithful fans and
intelligent and jealous players who
would hail with delight two or three
sweeping innovations" says Elmer
Bates In the Cleveland Press.
ut is surprising how many OF tho
professional ball players and how many
OF the observing patrons OF the game
believe that the error column should
be eliminated entirely. Although but
one argument is used In support Of
their contention, Il Is both logical and
convincing-the good effect II would
hasU on that large class OF players
who side-step the desperate fielding
chances for fear Of getting into the
error column.
1T isn't difficult at all TO call 10
mind the names OF n score of players
In the American league whose WORK
would be immeasurably improved II
there were no error column to fear
Almost every team has one or two
men who let the desperate chances go
by when the odds are about to
that an error would follow an attempt
to get the ball.
There is another indictment that
t,At tnh hn nat hA
column and that is the injustice that
IL does to the player who goes after
everything regardless of its effect on
his fielding averages.
d. Smith, half asleep, slow, careless,
takes no chances, while Jones, pains.
taking, always alert and dashing after
everything within possible reach, gets
charged with 15 errors In the same
of what are called chances.
His average Is $50.
"In the table Of averages, Smith, the
sullon looks 10 be a much better play
er than Jones' the winning player.
Another change in the rules that
Is coming sooner or later is the add
tion OF a column that will show how
many bases the runners were ad-
vanoed by each batter and how many
runs each batter sent over the plate.
"Thls rule is the one that should
have been adopted long ago. The real
test of a batter's ability is TO hit the
ball safe when men are on bases and
when the pitcher is using all his
strength and strategy to prevent the
ball from being batted out of the dla-
mond.
"Under such a rule players wouih
work less for personal batting aver
ages than for run getting for their
leam. Like the elimination OF the
error column a rule giving batters
credit for advancing base runners and
driving in runs would make the sue
,ess of his team every players first

MANY ARE AFTER
FULLER'S JOB

Colonel Jesse B. Fuller's second term
as United States pension agent at San
Francisco will soon expire, and political
gossip is to the effect that United States
Senators Perkins and Flint will recon-
mend to the President an applicant
from Southern California. Colonel Full
1er came into prominence in State poll
tics during the Markham campaign. At
that time he resided in Marysville, and
Republican leaders in Northern Califor-
MIA were told that he would be ap-
pointed adjutant general, but Governor
Markham, ii is said, changed his mind
after promising the place to Marysville
subsequently Colonel Fuller was ap-
pointed State Bank Commissioner.
Eight years ago he received the Fed
eral appointment of pension agent, with
a salary of $4,000 per annum.
Word comes from Washington. d. C.,
that there is no lack of aspirants for
the position which Colonel Fuller holds.
The Coliseum, Americas largest and finest
rink. open next week. Watch for date.

INSURANCE AGENTS.
ELECT OFFICERS

officers were elected by the Under
writer's Association of the Pacific at
yesterdays session of the body as fol-
lows: President, Arthur M. Brown; vice
president, John w. Gum; executive
committee-F. B. Kellam (chairman),
Athur NJ Brown, ]. L. Fuller, Herbert
Folger and w. H. Gibbons. Calvert
Meade was unanimously reelected Sec
retary and treasurer.
Three papers were read during
the day, one by w. ]. Miller, struc-
tural engineer, on the subject of Glass
A Construction From the Standpoint of
the Architect and Structural Engineer"
His views and data attracted much at
tention among the members.
Miller's statements were mainly on
the methods of fireproofing class A
structures. He said that one lesson of
the April fire teaches that steel frames
should never be left unprotected from
heat, as much of the damage was done
by the buckling of steel columns and
beams, which were softened by the di-
rect influence of flames. He advocated
dead air space of at least an inch about
all steel, with numerous protecting
coats of tile and other materials.
Miller declared that one great diff
ficulty of the architect is to induce his
client to make sufficient outlay to af
ford adequate fire protection. Build
ings should be divided, he said, into
types, one two, three, etc, with sub
divisions A, B, c, of each type, instead
of classes A, B, etc. He also stated that
few, il any, of the class A buildings
were affected by the earthquake.
other papers read were: Insurance
Institute Works" by w. P. Abel, and
Some Lessons From the Confiagra
tion," by F. j. Devlin. Committee re-
ports were read and adopted without
dissent and the association adjourned
until January Is of next year.
Last night the members enjoyed the
associations annual banquet the af-
fair taking place in the Palace Hotel.

AGREE To REMOVE
DEBRIS TRACKS

President Duffey of the Board of Pub
lie Works received a communication
yesterday from General Manager E. f.
Calvin of the Southern Pacific Com
pany in effect that the corporation will
begin the removal of every debris track
that has been used in the burned dis
trict.
A. H Payson, assistant to the presi-
dent Of the Santa Fe Company. visited
President Duffey of the Works Board
and asked for further time in which
to remove it's debris tracks Payson
said it would be impossible to take up
the rails in forty-eight hours. the time
specified in the order issued by the
Works Board in that connection.
Duffey was obdurate, however, and
declined to rescind the order, but SAID
that the board did not contemplate the
removal of all the tracks in two days.
Duffey said that a showing must be
made in the premises, and Payson
agreed to notify the heads of the com
pany who are in Los Angeles, with a
view to beginning operations at once
for the removal of the tracks.
Duffey says the tracks north of Mar
ket Will be the first to be taken up.
and all cars thereon must be moved
TO the tracks south of Market street
so the work may be pushed to compile
tion.

PLAN WIDENING OF
HAYES STREET

The Hayes Valley Improvement Asso-
citation, composed of property-owners
and merchants in Hayes street and in
its cross streets, met at $50 Hayes
street last night to discuss the details
of several important improvements
planned for that section of the city.
One of these projects is the widen
ing of the street by reducing sidewalks
from fifteen to thirteen feet, and as a
preliminary step petition was drawn
up for presentation to the Board OF Su-
pervisors. It Is also desired that the
grade between Scott and Pierce streets
be reduced from fifteen to ten feet to
enable an electric line to be operated
over the hill both ways. At present
cars can be run outward, but the grade
is too steep for inbound trolley.
Another plan for the betterment of
conditions in the valley provides for
more light 1t is proposed that the city
be asked to restore the gas lights as
they were before the first of last April
and that in addition arc lights be
strung, eventually from Market to Fill
more streets, but for the present from
Franklin to Laguna. 1t is expected
that the members of the association
will pay for the installation and main
tenance of the electric lights them
selves.
The president was requested to write
to the Chief of Police asking that the
streets be kept clear of Instructions
and standing teams. and an effort will
be made to have the pavements kept
in better condition.
J. w. Sparrow of 17S Julian avenue
is the president and E. r. Nienstadt is
secretary of the association. About 100
merchants and property-owners are
members.
