HUGE ACID PLAN
FOR SAN BRUNO
Works to Be Erected by
Smelter Company Which
VIII Employ 1000 Men
WILL CONVERT FUMES

As the result of the visit to San
Francisco of Edgar L. Newhouse,
member of the executive committee of
the American Smelter Securities Com
pany, announcement was made yester
day by H. B. Underhill, president of the
Selby Smelling and Lead Company, that
the addition OF an acid plant to the
huge smelling plant at San Bruno
point had been authorized. The pur-
pose of the acid plant is to make acid
out of the sulphur fumes coming from
the smelter during the season when the
winds are variable. The acid depart
ment will cost 100000 for initial ex-
pense!
I'VE have gone all over this matter
carefully" said Underhill last evening.
TT has been concluded that. with this
arrangement. no one can be harmed by
the fumes In the summer the winds
are from the west. The smelter plant
is situated ten miles from San Fran
cisco, between five and six miles from
Burlingame, and twelve miles from
Alameda. The business advantages TO
arise from the smelter to this commun-
ity are great, as 1000 men will be
steadily employed and we will supply
a market for the silicious ores of Ne
vada and make il possible to work low
grade deposits of copper in California
at profit.
"By building an acid plant to take
care of the sulphur fumes. we expect
to do away with any possible annoy
ance to the farming and resident com
munity adjacent to the plant, and at
the same time to produce sulphuric
acid at such price as will be an in
ducement to the phosphate miner 70
manufacture a fertilizer and sell it to
the wheat farmer. Incidentally. We
have discussed our plans with some of
the large property owners in the vi
cinity of San Bruno and explained in
regard to our proposed plant. and ex-
pect to receive their hearty approval"

WE'D AND DIVORCED
BY SAME JUDGE

To join a young couple in matrimony
and three years later to undo his work
by granting a divorce was the unusual
experience that befell Judge E. P. Mo
gan of the Superior Court He awarded
an interlocutory decree to Jacobina L.
Benjamin from Franklin Benjamin yes
terday. and in doing SO discovered that
he was the one who had performed
their wedding ceremony.
when were you married, Mrs. Ben
jamin?" inquired Judge Mogan when
the plaintiff appeared before him yes
terday.
'It was in June, 1904" responded the
young woman. But you ought to know,
Mr.. Mogan; you married u.s.
Judge Mogan was a Police Judge at
the time that he performed this cere-
mony. It was a simple wedding at q
little home in the Mission.
Mrs. Benjamin declared that her hap
piness had been of short duration. Her
husband left her after short time and
never returned to make his home with
her. She made Intellectual attempts to
win back his love, and then brought
her suit for divorce on the ground of
desertion.
Judge Trout granted divorce to
James c. Sinclair from Sarah J. Sinclair
on the ground of desertion yesterday.
The plaintiff stated that his wife had
several children by former marriage
who are now living In Oregon, and that
she went to live with them, declaring
that she enjoyed their company more
than she did her husbands.
Mary Pintor was given a divorce
from Joseph S. Pintor after an inef-
fectual attempt by Judge Graham to
effect a reconciliation. Mrs. Pintor, who
is about 40 years old, admitted on the
witness stand that she had never had
any trouble with her husband, but that
he had left her. She denied that she
wished to obtain divorce in order to
marry again, but when her daughter,
Mrs. Mary Smith, was asked If she
thought that her mother desired to
marry again she responded that she
believed her to be young enough to
do so.
suit for divorce was filed by Mar
garet Kelleher against Matthew KEEL
leher on the ground of extreme cruelty.

APANESE IS TOO
MUCH FOR RAUER
Ham Bone Pleads Missing
Peek-a-Boo Waist Was
Made Up of Many Holes
ANSWER TO s25 SUIT

]. j. Rauer, the head of collection
the most approved methods of realiz-
ing on all sorts of claims, big and lit
tie, has gone beyond his depth in an
$25 against a Japanese laundryman,
whom for lack of knowledge as to his
real name, he designates as Ham Bone.
Having exhausted all other means.
Rauer has brought suit in the Justice
Court.
The basis of Rauer's complaint is
that he delivered a fine shirtwaist be-
longing to his wife, Mrs. Julia Rauer,
to Ham Bone to be laundered, and that
the waist in question met it's fate in
one or another of Ham Bones tubs
and has never been returned.
In the meantime, Ham Bone has
taken up the practice of law on his
own account. Served with notice
of the suit against him, he decided not
to trust his case in the hands of Ameri-
can attorneys, but wrote out an answer
in his own handwriting and filed 1T
yesterday in the Justice Court. The doc
ument is some three pages in length.
including an address of welcome to the
justice who will have the case for trial,
and sets forth in picturesque language
certain facts which Ham Bone believes
will be conclusive of his innocence of
wrong intent.
Ham Bone declares that he received
two shirtwaists from Rauer. One of
them. he admits was a white one. but
he asserts that the other. over which
the trouble has occurred, was of a
dingy color. Rauer calls it lace. Ham
Bone says merely soiled.'' The laun-
dryman also describes the peek-a-boo
effect as consisting of many holes. one
sixteenth of an inch in diameter, scat
tered over the garment, which he says
contained several other and larger
holes as well.
The Japanese is positive that the
actual value of the waist was not over
81. He says that when Rauer first
applied to him for settlement he
asked only s12, and appeals to the JUS
tice of the most honorable judge to
decide whether this, and the fact that
the suit is for more than twice that
amount, is not prima facie evidence
that Rauer is attempting to get more
than is his actual due.

DAYLIGHT THIEVES
RObFOUR HOUSES
Burglars Get Rich Loot by
Prying Open Front Doors
in the Western Addition
DETECTIVES BAFFLED

series of daring burglaries were
committed yesterday afternoon and
evening in the Western Addition in
Police Captain Gleeson's district, with
the result that householders sustained
losses of more than $1,000 in cash and
jewelry. There is no clew to the rob-
bers. From the systematic method by
which the crimes were committed Cap
tain of Detectives Duke has become
convinced. he says. that the city is in
tested with gang of professional
burglars.
The burglaries in the Golden Gate
Park district involved the forcing of
four front doors with jimmies between
the hours of o'clock in the afternoon
and 10 o'clock at night.
The home of Mrs. ]. J. Strong in the
rear of 79 Seventh avenue was entered
in the afternoon and 5000 worth of
jewelry taken from trunk.
The burglars robbed the home of Mrs.
J. A Clabrough at 3055 Clay street of
$3.50 in cash and a SIS watch. The
front door was forced open with a
jimmy. A thorough search of the place
was made by the thieves and not a
bureau drawer in the house was left
unmolested
The residence of NJ. Caro- at 15s Cen
Crdi avenue was eHleFeu ny iofcin8
the front door between the hours of
$50 o'clock in the afternoon and 10:30
at night. A solid silver dining set, a
diamond ring and a gold watch. all
worth 1851, were stolen.
Another burglary of Wedn esday was
the home of C. Russell. 662 Clayton
street. Here as in the other places the
front door was pried open. A diamond
ring valued at $42 was stolen.
The fact that all of the houses en-
tered were in the same district leads
the detectives to believe that the same
burglars committed all the robberies.
All of the available detectives have
been detailed on the cases and every
effort will be made to run down the
criminals, who are known as daylight
operators, and who work only when
the occupants of a dwelling are abb
sent

These recitals have a twofold
purpose: to furnish San Francisco
rnusic-lovers with opportunities to
hear good music often at no cx-
pense, and to demonstrate the
wonderful possibilities of the Plan
ola equipped with Metrostyle and
Themodist.
The recitals furthermore illus
trate the unlimited possibilities for
musical enjoyment in the home,
available to every Pianola owner.
The Metrostyle is device for
marking the music roll SO that the
performer has a correct guide as
to the proper Interpretation of the
composition. In other words, it
enables the novice to play the
music with the same degree of ex-
preston that would be given the
composition by some great artist.
The Themodist is most remark
able invention. 1t provides the
Pianola with an absolutely gov
ernable touch by separating the
melody from the accompaniment.
It brings out the air or melody and
plays the accompaniment softer
so that it will serve as back
ground to the music.
The Themodist enables the per-
former to render the music with
all the art and expression that
goes with hand playing by the
virtuoso.
You are invited to attend the re-
cital and hear the Pianola render
