OVERHEAD WIRES
OPPOSED BYBOARD
HarbOr Commissioners May Re-
fuse Telephone Company
Permit TO Erect Poles

The application of the Home tele-
phone company to erect poles and tele-
phone terminals on the state harbor
property in East street is likely to be
denied by the harbor commissioners.
At the meeting yesterday morning,
when n. F. Pendergast, superintendent
of right of way for the telephone peo-
pie, explained the proposed plan. Com
missioner Stafford declared in no un-
certain terms that the board opposes
stringing wires along the water front.
He indicated that a permit to erect
more poles would be refused. as the
commissioners are strongly in favor
of an underground conduit for all COM
panies.
The water front is a perfect net
work of electric wires now" said Staf-
ford and the poles which support
them are "A nuisance. Every few years
we have a new electric or telephone
company stringing up wires and dig
ging up streets. Traffic is thrown into
congestion for months, the public is
annoyed and not only that-the ac-
cumulation of wires is a positive men
ace TO the entire harbor. At any time
a runaway team may break down a
pole the wires become crossed and a
fire break out among these wooden
buildings which would endanger the
entire city.
This street has just been put into
repair and then along comes an appli-
cation TO tear it all UP again. 1t ap-
pears to me that public service cor
porations are lacking in intelligence
to say nothing of consideration for the
public They would have 10 feet of
mud along these wharves all winter,
If we were to allow everything they
asked"
Pendergast explained that the Home
company was willing TO have the work
completed by February /. and that the
wishes of the commissioners would be
carried out in the matter. He prom
ised TO have his plans and specifica-
tions ready for the board meeting next
Thursday. He also expressed the opin-
ion that the improved system of the
new company would compel the older
companies to get into line
1T is not our desire to handicap any
measure that makes for prosperity, -
said Stafford, for we need all of that
we can get. But all these wires must
be put underground in a conduit and
this continual digging and danger
ended. My idea is that the board
should lay conduit for all the wires
and make each company pay its pro
rata for the work"
The matter was put over for a week
and Pendergast instructed TO endeavor
to obtain permission from the Mutual
electric company to use their poles tenn
porarily
A letter from DR.. Blue was read
by the secretary in which the surgeon
suggested that the ratproof wharf and
grain shed erected at the suggestion of
the federal government be allowed to
remain, inasmuch as the quarantine
against vessels from this port had not
been raised.
The bid of NJ. II. Finlayson, amount
ing to $23,623, for laying the floor in
the north wing of the Ferry building
was accepted as being the lowest of the
five submitted.

REFUSES TO QUASH

Judge Murasky Rules On Ques=
lion of Alleged Bias OF
Grand Jury
Attorney Indicted for Attempt
ing to Bribe Ruef Juror to
Have Speedy Trial

without moments hesitat ton, Judge
Murasky yesterday denied the motion
of Frank J. Murphy, charged with at
tempting to bribe juror to vote for
the acquittal of Ruef, to have the in
dictment set aside on the ground of
alleged bias on the part of grand jur-
ors- Bert SchIesinger. of counsel for
Murphy, had stated the day before that
he expected to have another witness
IN support of his motion, but when
court met yesterday he submitted the
matter without further testimony. As
slStant District Attorney Harrison did
not consider the motion worth arguing.
and the ruling of Judge Murasky
against the alleged jury fiXer was
heard without surprise.
Schleslnger then interposed techni-
cal demurrer to the Indictment assert
ing that it does not conform to the
requirements of the statute and that

quest of the defense, argument on

early date, it is expected. The de-
murrer will probably be disposed of
today, when the date of trial will be

of the various city commissions as well
as Health officer Broderick of the
health board and Chief Examiner
Maher of the civil service commission,
TO appear at the mayors office at 4

WOMAN DISPROVfS
POLYGAMY CHARGE
Mrs. Dunphy Introduces Affi=
davits Showing Three For
mer Divorces Were Obtained

Mrs. Edith NJ. Dunphy yesterday told
her version of her varied matrimonial
career denying positively, and backing g
the denials with proof, the allegations
of polygamy made by her divorced hus-
band, James Clay Dunphy. Since Judge
Graham ordered Dunphy to pay his ex-
wife $50 900 he has made constant ef-
fort TO reopen the case. He declared
in affidavits that Mrs. Dunphy, who is
80 years old. had failed to obtain di-
vorces from three former husbands be-
fore marrying him in January, 1903.
Her answer. filed with Judge Graham
yesterday, is said to fully vfndicate
Mrs. Dunphy from these accusations.
THE defendant deliberately specu-
lated upon the decision of this court,
and the court having announced de-
cision with larger amount of ali
mony than he expected, he is now by
every means that wealth can employ
endeavoring to crush this affiant," Mrs.
Dunphy says in her affidavit
The first marriage OF the present
Mrs. Dunphy was with o. II. p. Sunder-
haus, and occurred in 1898, when she
was 16. He was idle and dissipated
and i'll treated her, she says. After
one year she left him and got divorce
In the court of Judge Daingerfield, in
San Francisco, early in 1895. James P.
Sweeney, who was her attorney, and
Frank r. Wehe, who was attorney for
Sunderhaus, confirm these statements
in affidavits.
The second marriage took place in
May, 1897, when she became the wife
of William c. Coffey. But in a short
time, she asserts, she discovered she
had made a grave mistake, as Coffey
drank to excess and was abusive and
quarrelsome. In the month following
the marriage she left him, and after
a trip to Portland returned to San
Francisco. She was granted a divorce
from Coffey by Judge Trout in jan
uary, 1898.
While in Portland she met julius Sill
Verstone. After the divorce from Cof-
fey Silverstone came to San Francisco
to marry her, but on account of the
law prohibiting marriage within one
year of divorce they went to Stevenson
Wash, where they were welded by a
justice of the peace in January 1898.
Sflverstone, she says, almost immedi-
ately began to abuse her, and in April
she got a divorce from him in Port
land. This was her second divorce in
about three months, and her third to
that date. Her fourth marriage was
with Dunphy in January, 1903.
After the affidavits had been read by
Attorney Charles w. Slack, Judge Gra-
ham continued the matter to today for
argument on the motion to reopen the
case.

DON'T Be TOO FAT
BE COMFORTABLE

If you're too fat just say to the drug
gist the magic word "Marmola." Take
some and watch yourself grow slighter
and slighter until you are comfortably
thin. Then tell other fat folks about
it. It's a good thing to remember the
prescription: II ounce Marmola, "
ounce Fluid Extract Cascara Aromatic,
and 81 ounces Peppermint Water.
Take a teaspoonful after meals and
before bedtime. While you're taking
Marmola you can eat and drink as
much as you like, do as little as you
wish in the line of work or exercise,
but you'll keep on getting thin until
you stop taking the medicine.
