Cutter Service AdOniS
Sues Beautiful Wife
Lieutenant HinckIey Sfirs Sem
safi0n by Asking Divorce From
Former Boston Belle

Laying his plans with a secrecy
which bafied even his most intimate
friends, Lieutenant Harold d. Hinckley
of the revenue cutter Bear filed suit for
divorce from his wife. Alice Gilman
Hinckley. on the ground of desertion,
and at O'Clock this afternoon the case
will come up for trial in Judge Len
mons court at San Rafael.
The prominence of the parties, COM
bined with the sudden and unexpected
disclosure of unhappiness in their do
mestic life, makes the case one of the
sensational divorces of the year Both
are of the socially elect and both have
taken foremost parts in the society
events in Sausalito.
A year ago. shortly before Lieutenant
Hinckley returned TO Sausalito from n
trip in northern waters. Mrs. Hinckley
left for her home in Boston. Among
their acquaintances it was commonly
understood that she was only visiting
relatives in the east. and would return.
There was not a whisper of any mis-
understanding between the two. AS
month after month flew by and Mrs.
Hinckley did not join her husband soci-
ETY. commented on the strangeness of
the proceedings. yet not even then was
there any thought of differences. But
while friends imagined Mrs. HinckIey
was on a visit east Lieutenant Hinck-
ley was preparing for his divorce, and
on February 6 the papers were secretly
filed in San Rafael.
Though simple desertion is charged
in the complaint the belief is that the
trial this afternoon will produce some
sensational secrets.
To make the case all the more in
teresting to society the two have been
looked upon as the handsomest pair in
social circles about the bay. Hinckley
is remarkably handsome man and his
wife is a tall blonde of exceptional
beauty.
Mrs. Hinckley formerly was Miss
Alice GlllndH oi Dosloh. que married
Hinckley October II, 1904. in Melrose
Mass, and shortly afterward came with
him to Sausalito. As far as the outside
world knew the two were ideally
mated. They were together at the vari-
GUS social functions, and seemed thor.
oughly happy.
This was the condition of affair:
when Lieutenant Hinckley left for his
trip to the north. Mrs. Hinckley re-
mained behind at Sausalito. but a few
days before his return she had gone
What had suddenly come into their
lives is mystery which today's pro
ceedings in the courtroom are expected
to solve.

Wharf, Which Railroad
Has Claimed
Rushes Warehouse Across It's
Front, Shutting Out Access
by Hartman Line
Federal Court Injunction Fails
to Prevent Building of
Structure
City Hopes to Come Into It's
Own Again by Bold Act of
Transportation Man

OAKLAND, Feb. 13.-
Disregarding both the ac-
ton of the board of public
works in resembling his
building contract and an
injunction issued by the
United States circuit court
in 1893, George w. Arper Of
the Arper transportation
company seized possession
of Broadway wharf today
and rushed nearly to compile
ton a warehouse across its
entire width. The structure,
built of pine lumber for the
sake of speed, cuts off all
access, save through its doors, to
the water edge of the wharf,
which for Is years virtually has
been owned by the Southern Pa
ciic company.
Not only were the slips used
exclusively by the Garden City
and other ferry boats plying on
the Creek Route line, but as
general landing tolls were col
lected from the wharf by the
Southern Pacific. All day Arper
expected action by the police or
city authorities for infraction of
the building ordinance. but the Of
6cials took no note of the opera
tions of construction.
Inasmuch as the Southern Pa
cifc company has claimed title to
the wharf and made use OF it as cor
poration property. this action OF Ar
per reopens the first great battle for
! water front ownership fought by the
attorneys OF the city OF Oakland on the
one side and the Southern Pacific on
the other.
In the. end this renewal OF the feud
means that the city of Oakland will re-
gain actual possession of the contested
wharf.
