CAN'T READ BECAUSE
GAS BILL WAS DUE
MRS. MURRAY'S GLASSES HELD
BY ROOMMATE FOR BILL
Kip Street Roomer Claims That She
Offered to Pay Her Share
but Couldn't Get
Spectacles

Declaring that she is subject to the
greatest inconvenience and is unable
to read the newspapers because her
eyeglasses are being held for gas
bill, Mrs. John d. Murray of 67S Kip
street appeared at the central police
station yesterday and asked Deputy
District Attorney Alexander to issue a
complaint against Miss Margaret An
sted of 6S1 Kip street. with whom Mrs.
Murray formerly roomed.
According to Mrs. Murray's story to
the deputy district attorney, she
roomed with Miss Ansted for some
time. but a short time ago decided to
change her rooming place. AT that
time there was an unpaid gas bill and
Miss Ansted is alleged to have taken
Mrs. Murray's glasses to hold them
until Mrs. Murray paid her share Of
the bill.
Later Mrs. Murray visited Miss An
sted and wanted to pay the bill. The
latter replied the bill had not been pre-
sented and she could pay it later. Mrs.
Murray thereupon asked for her glass
es and was refused them.
Now Mrs. Murray is sorely grieved
over the affair and wants action taken
against Miss Ansted to compel her to
return the much needed glasses.
Alexander took the matter under ad-
visement until he can hear the other
side of the case.

CLASH WITH RED TAPE MAY
STOP DREDGING
FILLS AT WILMINGTON CANNOT

Report on Situation at inner Har-
Dor Will Be Made to
Board of Public Works
Today

The North American Dredging COM
harbor at Wilmington has got to the
point where it must cease it's operations
because of the demands of the gov
ernment, and City Attorney Hewitt has
been empowered to find some way In
which work can be suspended without
working harm to either the contrac-
tors or the city.
The instructions to the city attorney
We're the result of a conference yester-
day between the board of public works,
the city engineer, the city attorney and
representatives of the dredging com
pany. Both the dredging company and
the city are willing that work should
stop for a time, the dredging company
because it has an important contract
with the Bannings and the city because
1t wants to make general plans for the
free harbor before going extensively
into dredging.
The dredging company has had to
cease operations because it has no
place to throw the dredgings except on
private land. The federal government
has required that fills cannot be made
until channels equal to the ones to be
filled have been dredged. The re-
qulred channel has been dredged, but
the city has not yet obtained the con-
sent of the government to make the
necessary fill. and until this consent is
obtained, which requires time because
of the red tape with which 1t is bound,
dredging cannot proceed.
A clause in the contract with the
dredging company nullifies the contract
If work is suspended more than thirty
days. The dredging company is willing
to waive this agreement if some legal
way can be found. 1t is the task of the

DOAk DIVORCE
IS CONTINUED
MILLIONAIRE MINE OWNER
MAY SETTLE
WIFE DEMANDS $500 A MONTH
AND OTHER FEES
Accuses Husband Of Establishing
Home at Klamath Lake with
Another Woman in
Her Place

The first court proceeding in connec-
tion with the divorce suit of Mrs. Jen-
ME May Doak against her husband,
David Perry Doak, the millionaire mino
owner and corporation manager, was
continued by Judge James yesterday
until Monday. This proceeding is an
order to show cause in which Doak is
cited to appear and explain why he
shall not give his wife monthly al
lowance of $500, $500 to prepare for the
divorce trial and from $2500 to $4,000 at
torney's fees.
There is q possibility, it was stated
yesterday, that this matter as we'll as
property settlements incident to the
divorce case, may be disposed of out
of court.
Doak's wealth, according to his
wlfe's estimate, easily will reach ST.
100000, the schedule accompanying her
petition for alimony and expenses
showing that he is the owner of 1449
acres of klamath lake land in Oregon,
manganese mines, iron mines in Shasta
county, a controlling interest in the
Doak sheet metal works, San Fran
cisco; is the principal stockholder In
the American Construction company,
now engaged in building a railroad
from San Geronimo, Mexico, through
the state of Oaxaca to Guatemala;
owns the Katherine Lead company,
large properties in Santa Clara coun-
ty. a controlling interest in the Pacific
Coast Steamship company and valua-
BILE holdings in Chicago and st. Louis.
Mrs. Doak says she owns the home
at 2377 Scarf street and 100 shares Of
stock of the American Construction
company
Her complaint for a legal separation
is based on the ground that Doak was
unfaithful, the main allegation being
that he established a bungalow home
at Upper klamath lake In 1908 and
lived with another woman there.

fare Is Not Effective-Fran-
chlse Is Ordered Drawn

Wealthy residents in the West
Adams street section lost in bout
with less Weather but as energetic
neighbors before the board of super
visors yesterday, when petition for a
street railway franchise, extending the
West Adams line to Eleventh avenue,
came up for hearing. Each side was
represented by score or more persons
and at times the discussions became so
heated that Chairman Nellis' gavel
beat a regular tattoo in his efforts to
preserve order.
After an argument lasting an hour
or more the board directed the district
attorney to draw up franchise and
bids will be ordered advertised for at
a later meeting of the board.
Speaking for the petitioners,
Charles Mckenzie said he and his
neighbors had been living mile from
street cars for two and half years,
that the district had been held back
and the residents subjected to q great
deal of inconvenience because wealth.
Ter persons living nearer the city OBJ
iected to the clang of the motorman's $
gong and the shrek of the car wheels.
1t also might interfere with the
pleasant pastime of automobiling, he
said, but all these reasons, he believed,
should be discarded when 1t was con-
sidered that the line would benefit
many at the expense of incOnvenienc-
ing the few.
w. S. Bartlett, president of the Ger
man American bank, who lives at 24OO
West Adams street, was the principal
speaker for the protestants, and he
suggested a way out of the difficulty
by granting a franchise for line on
either Twenty-fifth or Twenty-ninth
straat ~ which Mr. Mckenzie replied
by saying property owners along those
streets refused to subdivide their land
in order to furnish a thoroughfare
over which a line could run.
Mr.. Bartlett contended that West
Adams street should remain as it is, a
beautiful boulevard, adding that many
residents had purchased homes there
after receiving a promise street cars
would not be operated in that street.

DAYLIGHT BURGLARS

Aged Woman in Kitchen When Robber
Ransacks Building but Being
Deaf She Did Not Hear
Intruder

That daylight burglars are plying
their craft with success is evident
from the reports made at police head
quarters last night.
According to a report received, the
home of aged Mrs. E. A. Billings, 929
South Union avenue, was entered by a
burglar who stole articles to the value
of $500, including a wallet containing
$50 in cash. Mrs. Billings was in the
kitchen at the time
A jade necklace and several rings
were included in the booty obtained by
the thief Mrs. Billings stated she was
at work in her kitchen yesterday aft
ernoon, and a short time later went
to her parlor and found everything had
been ransacked, her money and jewelry
missing.
Mrs. Billings lives alone in her cot
tage and Is deaf, and it is thought the
robber was cognizant of these facts.
Mrs. q. d. Matthews also reported
last night her home, 1929 West Seventh
street, was entered yesterday afternoon
and a ring, bracelet and stickpln stolen
She stated a rear window had been
opened and her home ransacked while
she was absent from the building.
