SPOUSE'S DESERTION
Quarrel Occurs Before the
Final Separation and
Husband Stays Away
SPOUSE'S DESERTION

Marital discord, which led a year ago
to the separation OF George Habenicht,
the photographer, from Mrs Alice May
Habenicht. his wife. and caused those
intimate with the family affairs to ex-
pect a divorce action at any time, cul-
minated yesterday when Mrs. Habe-
nicht was granted an interlocutory de-
cree of divorce on the ground of deser-
tion.
The suit instigated by Mrs Habenicht
was prosecuted quietly, every endeavor
being made to avoid publicity. The
testimony was taken before a court
commissioner and was merely a formal
transaction. in which Habenicht did not
appear to defend the charge brought
against him. The report of the COM
missioner was filed yesterday morning
and the decree granted by Judge Sea-
we'll.
Mrs. Habenicht did not ask for any
alimony, and based her claim for a di-
vorce entirely on the desertion. which
occurred January 20, 1906. In her tes-
timony before the court commissioner
she said that the trouble between her
self and her husband was largely due
to the fact that she objected to his con-
duct toward others and neglect of her
Although he habitually left his place of
business at CLOCK In the evening, she
asserts that he failed to return to his
home on many occasions until a late
hour and paid but little attention to her
objections.
On the night before the final separa-
tion there was a quarrel and Habe-
NIGHT told her, she says, that he would
leave her, but she gave the threat little
thought because of similar ones he had
made before. He kept his word, how
ever. packed his belongings, and later
sent man for them. She asserts that
she has not seen him since and has had
no communication with him except
once, when she telephoned him regard
ing some insurance papers. Mrs. Habe-
NIGHT declared that she had received
nothing from her husband since he left
her, and her testimony was supported
by that of her brother, Henry S. Russ,
who lives in Berkeley.

DIVORCE IS NOT WORTH
WHILE WITHOUT ALIMONY
So Declares Mrs. Martha Hanson,
Whose Former Husband Can
not Support Two Families

What's the use of having a divorce

Such was the query Of Mrs. Martha
Hanson directed to Judge Graham yes
terday in a hearing before him to de-
termine whether or not the decree of
divorce by which her former husband,
Henry A Hanson, was ordered to pay
her SIS per month alimony should be
modified. She failed TO see the logic Of
Hanson's contention that because he
has married again and has another
family to support he should be re-
Iieved from the responsibility OF as
sisting her He admitted that several
back payments had not been made. but
informed the court that he only earned
SOS a month and could not stand the
financial strain. Judge Graham took
the matter under advisement and con-
tinued the case two weeks.

Judge Seawell TO Hannah FEEDER from

WEEKLY BANK CLEARINGs

The bank clearings in San Francisco
for the current week are In excess OF
the figures of year ago to the amount
OF $3, ,103. .SOS.59. AS reported by the
California Promotion Committee the
amount for the week ending Thursday
noon, March IA, 1907. Is $4S, $40. &c.
The figures for the same period year
ago were $45. .312, ,5S2.o7. the present in
crease being nearly Z per cent. It
should be noted, in this comparison,
that up to the time of the big fire, the
clearings of the Oakland banks were
made through the San Francisco Clear
ing-house, which is no longer the case.
Adding Oakland's clearings for the
week to the figures for San Francisco
gives a grand total for the two bay
cities of $52,23S,29e.10. The San Jose
banks had a busy week, the clearings
in that city amounting to s643,7S4.0S.

Mrs. Anne n. Foote was granted a
divorce by Judge Murasky yesterday

mony. She claimed that for the past
wears her husband had lived apart
from her in Los Angeles and that she
had received nothing from him, al

OPPOSE HEIGHT LIMIT

Business Men Urge Super

The Supervisors fire committee
heard arguments yesterday In favor of
a numerously signed petition to remove
the restriction in the building ordi-
nance limiting the height of class A
structures TO one and a half times
the width of the streets on which they
are constructed. c. II. Bentley, presi-
dent of the Chamber of Commerce; Seth
Mann, attorney for q number of banks
and business houses, and T. Carey
Friedlander, secretary of the Mer-
chants Exchange, urged the committee
to recommend that the height of class
A structures be fixed at two and q
half times the width of the streets.
which would permit of profitable in
vestments in that connection.
Mann said the present ordinance
would result in class B city and cited
the fact that the First National Bank
would be compelled to put up seven
story building instead of the fine
twelve-story structure contemplated at
the northwest corner of Post and Mont
gomery streets.
Fire Marshal Towe, representing the
Fire Underwriters favored no restric-
tion at all as to the height of class A
structures. The committee appeared
ments and, though it took the matter
under adyisement, will probably recon-
mend the amendment of the ordinance

william Haas. The petition said IN
part:
Your petitioners respectfully show that it IS
matter Of common knowledge that the high
buildings Of class A construction withstood both
the earthquake and fire of last April better
than any other class of buildings. There was
little or no damage done by the earthquake to
buildings of this class, while many of them
withstood the ravages of the fire to re-
markable extent With very few exceptions
the many buildings which remain standing
in the burned district and which can and Will
be restored are buildings of the class type,
and nearly all OF these exceed one and a
half times the width of the streets on which
they stand.
