DAYLIGHT THIEVES
ROB FOUR HOUSES
Burglars Get Rich Loot by
Prying Open Front Doors
in the Western "Addition
DETECTIVES BAFFLED
A series of daring burglaries were
committed yesterday afternoon and
evening in the Western Addition in
Police Captain Gleeson's district, with
the result that householders sustained
losses of more than $1000 ' In cash \and
Jewelry. There is no clew to the rob
bers. From the. systematic method; by
which the crimes were, committed v Cap
taln of Detectives- Duke has become
convinced, he says, that the city is In
fested with a gang of professional
burglars. ,
The burglaries in the Golden G*te
Park district involved the forcing of
four front doors with Jimmies between
the hours of 5 o'clock in the afternoon
and 10 o'clock at night.
The home of Mrs. J. J. Strong in the
rear of 79 Seventh avenue, was entered
in the afternoon ana $203 worth of
Jewelry taken from a trunk.
t The burglars robbed the home of Mrs.
J. A- Clabrough at 8055 Clay street of
$230 in cash and a $75 watch. The
front door was forced open with ; a
jimmy. A thorough search of the place
was made by the thieves and not a
bureau drawer in the house was left
unmolested.
The residence of M. Caro at 153 Cen
tral avenue was entered by forcing
the front door : between the hours of
3:30 o'clock In the afternoon and 10:30
at night. A solid silver dining set, a
diamond ring and a gold watch, all
worth $261, were stolen. .
Another burglary of Wednesday was
the home of C. Russell. 662 Clayton
street. Here as in the other places the
front door was. pried -open. A diamond
ring valued at $42 was stolen.
The fact that all of the /houses en
tered were in the same district leads
the detectives to believe that the same
burglars committed, all the robberies.
All of the available detectives have
been detailed on the cases and every
effort will be made to run down the
criminals, who are known as daylight
operators, and who work only when
the occupants, of a dwelling are ab
sent.
WED AND DIVORCED
BY SAME JUDGE
To join a young couple in matrimony
and three years later to undo his work
by granting a divorce was the unusual
experience that befell Judge B. P. Mo
gan of the Superior Court" He awarded
an interlocutory decree to Jacoblna L.
Benjamin from Frankljn Benjamin yes
terday, and in doing so discovered that
he was the one who had performed
their wedding ceremony.
"When were you married, Mrs. Ben
jamin?" inquired Judge • Mogan when
the plaintiff appeared before him yes
terday..
"It was in June, 1904." responded the
young woman. "But you ought to know,
Mr.- Mogan: you married us."
Judge Mogan was a Police Judged at
the time that he' performed thls.cere
mony. - It : was a simple .wedding, at a
little home in the Mission^ > /
Mrs. Benjamin declared that her hap
piness had been of short duration. Her
husband left her after a short time and
never returned to make his home with
her. She made ineffectual attempts to
win back his love, and then brought
her suit for divorce on : the ground of
desertion. .
Judge Troutt granted a divorce to
James C Sinclair from Sarah J. Sinclair
on the ground of desertion yesterday.
The plaintiff stated that his wife had
several children by a former marriage
who are now living In Oregon, and that
she went to live ,wlth them, declaring
that she enjoyed their company more
than she did her husband's.
Mary Pintor was given a divorce
from Joseph S. Pintor after an inef
fectual attempt by Judge Graham to
effect a reconciliation. Mrs. Pintor, who
is about 40 years, old, admitted on the
witness stand that she had never had
any trouble with her husband, but that
he had left her. She denied that' she
wished to obtain a divorce in order to
marry again, but when- her daughter,
Mrs. Mary Smith, was asked if she
thought that her mother ; desired to
marry again she responded that . she
believed her to ~be young enough to
do so. ' . . \u25a0 . . '
A suit for divorce was filed by Mar
garet Kelleher against Matthew Kel
leher on the ground of extreme cruelty.
CASB GOES TO KERN COUNTY
In the case of the Grocers' Fruit
Growing Union against the Kern Coun
ty-Land Company, the Supreme Court
reversed yesterday : the order of the
lower court denying a change of venue
of the action from •' San Francisco to
Kern County. The union insisted that
the trial should be held \u25a0 in the county
where the defendant resided, while the
land company claimed the right to have
the trial where the land is located. The
case involves the settlement of. the sale
of a certain piece of real estate. . '

thewaist: in. question met its fate in
one H or ": ajiother ** of rj Ham ' Bone's j tubs

,: In ' the meantime, , Ham Bone has
taken up the practice " of law on his

in his own handwriting and/ filed It
yesterday in the Justice Couru The doc
ument Is some '. three : pages in length,
including an address of .welcome to. the
justice who will-have the case for trial,

Ham r Bone .' declares that he received
two shirtwaists from Raver. One of
them, he admits, was a white one, but
he asserts that the other.^over which
the trouble ; has ; occurred, "was 'of a
dingy color. Raver calls it lace. Ham
Bone says "merely; soiled." -The laun
dryman also describes the ' peek-a-t>oo
effect as, consisting of many holes, one
sixteenth of an inch in diameter, scat
tered over the garment, which he says
oontained several other and larger
holes as well. '. .
The Japanese . is positive that the
actual value of the waist was not over
$4. . He says that when Raver first
applied to him for a settlement he
asked oaiy^sl2, and appeals. to the jus
tice of the most honorable: judge to
decide whether this, and the fact that
the suit is for more than twice ;that
amount, is , not prlma facie evidence

HUGE ACID PLANT
FOR SAN BRUNO
Works to Be Erected by
Smelter Company Which
Will Employ 1000 Men
WILL CONVERT FUjMES
As the result of the visit to San
Francisco of Edgar I*. Newhouse, aj
member of the executive committee of
the American Smelter Securities Com
pany, announcement was made yester
day by_H. B. Underhlll, president of the
Selby Smelting and Lead Company, that
the addition of an acid plant to the
huge smelting plant at San Bruno
point bad been authorized. The pur
pose of the acid plant is to make acid
out of the sulphur fumes coming from
the smelter during the season when the
winds are variable. The acid depart
ment will cost $300,000 for initial ex
pense:
"We have gone all over this matter
carefully," said Underhlll last evening.
"It has been concluded that, with this
arrangement, no one can be harmed by
the fumes. In the summer the winds
are from the west. The smelter plant
is situated ten miles from San Fran
cisco, between five and six miles from
Burlingame, and twelve miles from
Alameda. The ' business advantages to
arise from the smelter to this commun
ity are great, as 1000 men will be
steadily employed and we will supply
a market for the silicious ores of Ne
vada and make it possible to work low
grade deposits of copper in California
at a profit.
"By building an acid' plant to take
care of the sulphur fumes, we. expect
to do away with any possible annoy
ance to the farming and resident eom
munlty adjacent to the plant, and at
the same time to produce sulphuric
acid at such a price as will be an in
ducement to the phosphate miner to
manufacture a fertilizer and sell it to
the wheat farmer. Incidentally, we
have discussed our plans with some of
the large property owners in the vi
cinity of San Bruno and explained in
regard to our proposed plant, and ex
pect to receive their hearty approval."
