HIRSHFELD' AUTOS
knew NOT HIS wife
She Knows ALI About Them,
Though, and Tells, in Dr.
vorce Complaint

Six cylinder automobiles, other
women isolation in the oil districts,
desertion and general neglect fill the
divorce complaint filed yesterday by
Mrs Georgia Hirshfeld against her
husband, Isadore Hirshfeld, a. wealthy
oil and realty operator of Bakersfield
and San Francisco.
"Carousing with various men and
women" the language of the COM
plant sets forth, "at various restaur-
ants and beach road houses" and
spending both time and money" is one
of the chief occupations of Hirshfeld,
and his wife feels herself forgotten.
Despite his frivolous ways she de-
c1ares that he gains large income as
president of the Hirshfeld realty COM
pany, Inc, of Bakersfield and by deal
ing extensively in oil lands and real
estate.
Ruth Clemens Hirshfeld, aged 16
months Mrs. Hirshfeld brings into her
complaint also, averring that 1sadore
went shooting once while the child was
dangerously i'll. He also spent much of
his time in barrooms about the time
that little Miss Hirshfeld was born.
Mrs Hirshfield was left too much in
Bakersfield, it appears. and her indig-
city was increased by her knowledge
that her husband was spending his
time at the st. Francis and Palace
hotels here and ignoring" her.
COULDN'T STAND HEAT
Finally in May of this year, when the
heat became oppressive in the San
JOAQUIN valley, Mrs. Hirshfeld could
stand it there no longer and came to
San Francisco. She met her husband
at the ST. Francis hotel soon after her
arrival and upbraided him for his con-
duct. He was successful In soothlns
her wounded sensibilities by promises
to reform and return to her IL she
would go back to the hotel in Bakers
field.
She believed him and journeyed again
to the southern city, but she waited In
vain for Isadore to fulfill his promise,
Bakersfield knew him not.
She could not remain there alone,
she saws. so she once more took the
train for San Francisco Now she is
living at 326 Baker street with her
little daughter, and Hirshfeld, she de-
clares in her complaint, refuses to live
with her.
Occasionally" she sets forth, "he
visits me for half an hour.
THE WICKED AUTO
Again and again the mention of the
six cylinder touring car comes In, and
according to the wife's statements,
Hirshfeld is seldom alone in his great
car. This seems one of the principal
features of the claim for divorce. lie
keeps unseemly hours, too. she says.
Hirshfeld married his wife at Battle
Mountain, New, August %, 1906.
This was shortly after his divorce
from his first wife, who was Miss
Walker of Bakersfield.
He is brother of Leo Hirshfeld, the
pianist, who was divorced year or two
ago by his wife, formerly Miss Hirsch-
field of Hanford, whom he was unable
to support, it was claimed. When seen
yesterday Hirshfeld said:
There is nothing much to add to the
complaint Mrs. Hirshfeld and I could
not agree. The charges made against
me are exaggerated. 1 am not, as my
friends know, the kind of man my
wife would make me out to be. I have
been more than kind to her and she has
wanted for nothing. She could not un-
derstand that my business frequently
kept me from dinner at a fixed hour and
that it was necessary for me to attend
to the business affairs that would make
life better both for me and her. We
differed temperamentally, that is all.
