BARTNETT'S CLERK
DIVORCED BY WIFE
Private Secretary to Banker
Lets Charge of Cruelty Go
Without Defense

OAKLAND, April 4.-Frederick NJ.
Bartnett of the defunct California safe
deposit and trust company of San Fran
cisco. was defendant in suit for di-
vorce tried before Superior Judge ELS
worth today, and at its conclusion
Judge Ellsworth said he would grant
the plaintiff, Mrs. Anna Willis. an in
terlocutory decree of divorce on the
ground of cruelty. No defense was put
in, but Willis was in the corridor out
side the courtroom. When apprised of
the outcome he said he was satisfied.
Willis frequently told his wife. she
testified, that the sound of her voice
made him sick, and she added that he
had treated her without respect for a
long time. She accused him of treat
ing their children cruelty, saying he
had dragged their little girl about the
floor by her foot and had beaten her
on numerous occasions. Mrs. Willis
charges were substantiated by the tes-
timony of her parents, BENJAMIN Ride
out, former San Francisco wharfing-
er. and Mrs. Eliza Rideout
In giving his side of the story Willis
said: I'VE have been married II years
and we have never been happy. 1t
was a case of too much mother in law
from the start. 1 am glad my wife
got the divorce and 1 did not defend
myself because 1 feared she would not
secure the decree. The principal charge
made against me was that of cruelty to
my daughter. who is 13 years old. She
has an obstinate temper. and egged on
by her mother. she has grown so bold
that she would swear at me. I cor
rected her and she would throw herself
on the floor and kick with her heels
like baby. Mrs. Rideout was respon-
sible Tor all the trouble in my opinion,
and her husband, who is an old man,
is simply plastic in her hands. I feel
relieved now that it is over. 1 sup
ported the Rideouts for many years"
Judge Ellsworth said he would award
Mrs. Willis all the community proper
ty. consisting of a house and lot in
Berkeley, the custody of the two chill
dren and $45 a month alimony
Willis retains his position as secre-
tary to Bartnett in spite of the de-
velopments of the affairs of the bank.
Suit for divorce based on a charge
of cruelty was fled today by Estelle
Hansen against Charles A. Hansen.

them a copy of the April Sunset Mag
azine. 1t contains not only tllirty-t two
full page engravings from photographs

purpose. but panorama picture four
feet long, showing the big buildings in

nix-San Francisco's phoenix seal of

to the April Sunset Magazine The bird
rising from the flames tells of the city's 8
renaissance, and two hundred or more

to send away to tell convincingly of the

MAY SEND GARBAGE
AWAY ON SANTA F[

BERKELEY, April 4-Freighting
the garbage out of town on fiat cars
appeared to be the only solution to
the question of garbage disposal to the
town trustees today, although Mayor
Francis Ferrier paid visit to Oak
land to confer with Mayor Frank Mott
about the cooperation of Berkeley and
Oakland in carrying the refuse mat
ter to sea on barges. Ferrier was
unable to find the chief executive of
Oakland but will have a conference
with him Monday.
After the failure of the chamber of
commerce to solve the garbage enigma
yesterday the trustees cast about to-
day for dumping ground. The
proposition of the Santa Fe railroad
which was suggested to Mayor Ferrier
some weeks ago during the trouble in
West Berkeley was considered and
steps will be taken to further it,
FAR FROM MADDENED CROWD
The railroad offers to remove Berke-
ley's garbage for $3.50 and transport 1t
along their line of travel far out into
the county where it will not be OBJ
jectionabIe to anyone.
The Santa Fe has encountered on its
right of way any number of swamps
in which 1t is proposed to dump the
gar Dd6t anu cover II Win CfuQe OH TO
make ii inoffensive. The definite spot
where the company will dump the re-
fuse matter of Berkeley has not been
announced, but Ferrier has been aS-
sured that it is a remote locality where
no possible objection can be raised.
Just where the garbage will be
placed upon the fiat cars and other de-.
tails of the handling of the garbage
are yet to be settled before contract
is signed between the trustees and the
corporation. The expenses charged by
the company for the hauling are to be
paid by the scavengers, according to
the preliminary arrangements.
