MUST REMOVE WIRES
IN DISTRICTS YEARLY
Council Passes Ordinance Reg
uIating Continuance of Work

OAKLAND, Nov. 2.-The city council
has passed to print a final ordina nee
regulating the removal of overhead
wires. II ordains that two miles of
wires shall be put under ground each
year until the entire network of over
head wires is gone.
So that new legislation may not be
required for each two miles, the ordi-
nance empowers the board of public
works to declare districts for each
year; and declares that such action
by that board will be as effective as the
passage of separate ordinances.
The ordinance also provides that the
districts to be made shall be con-
tiguous, so that the work may be ex-
tended outward from the business sec
tion, in which most of the poles and
wires have already been removed.

Especial Dispdtch to The Call
SAN RAFAEL. Nov. "A woman, a
dog and walnut tree.
The more you beat them the better
they be-"
The above old English quotation
played an important part in the evil
dence introduced by Mrs Samuel LIE
Roy before Superior Judge Lennon here
today in her unsuccessful attempt to
secure a divorce on the ground or
cruelty and failure to provide.
Mrs. lie Roy, whose husband was for
merly the editor of the Healdsburg En-
terprise. recently inherited $4,000 at
the death OF her father. She testified
that her husband had made little or no
provision for her support in the last
nine years. and that he once called her
"a low down thing" She also said
that he quoted the above rhyme TO
her and hurt her feelings. lie Roy
answered that the quotation did not
express his sentiments. but that he
merely recited 1t. to her as an interest
ing piece of old English poetry.
Judge Lennon denied the divorce. The
LIE Roys reside In Petaluma avenue.

SUPERVISORS TO OPEN
BELVEDERE. BRIDGE
Ark DwelIers to Move Floating
/. Homes to Winter Quarters

BELVEDERE, Nov. 2.-The ark
dwellers of this town are overjoyed at
the decision of the Marin county board
of supervisors, rendered at the session
in San Rafael today, which will make
1t possible to open the bridge over
Belvedere creek November Ia and thus
allow the house boat residents to move
their floating homes to winter quarters
at Greenbrae.
The Belvedere bridge, owing to al
legged faulty construction, is under liti-
cation, and, as the law allows the su-
pervisors to sanction it's opening only
twice year. some question existed as
to whether the bridge could be opened
this month
Today Supervisor Louis C. Pistolesi
was given permission to order the
bridge opened. AS November IA falls
on Sunday, and as the tide is also fa-
vorable on that day, the ark dwellers
will move in a body UP the creek.

UP TO THE STATION AGENTS.
To Require Them to Give Informa
ton to Travelling Public.

Railroad station agents must assume
some responsibility with regard to the
time of trains if the bill now in course
of preparation by Senator White of the
lowa-Johnson county district is adopted.
The law now requires that bulletin
boards in the various railroad stations
shall show the schedule time at which
trains on the line and also the time at
which trains which are running behind
the schedule may be expected at the
station where the bulletin is posted.
Senator White declares that this is not
followed at a great many stations, and
that even where the boards are pro-
yided the information is not reliable.
He will frame bill which will make
it the duty of railroad agents to furnish
all the information possible for them to
obtain regarding the trains and the
time when they may be expected if they
are running late. The bill will be sub
mitted to the railroad commissioners
before it is introduced in the senate.
