MOTHER SAYS SOLDIER
USED LOVE POTION TO
WIN DAUGHTER'S HAND
Elsie Ehardt, the Unhappy
Bride, Given Divorce
by Graham
CRUELTY THE CHARGE
Sailor Defeated in Court-
ship by Means' of a
Drug
Elide Ehsxdt, "who rejected a sailor
to become the 'bride of a soldier, suc
cessfully appealed to Judge Graham
yesterday for an Interlocutory decree
of divorce on the ground of cruelty.
Mrs. Mary Herting, mother of^ th«
plaintiff, testified that Joseph E. Ehardt
gave her daughter a love potion to
make her forget the sailor and that
after the marriage thought bo little of
her as to beat her with his fists. . ;.
As Miss Hertlng the plaintiff 'was
courted by a sailor named Rosenwinkel,
who seemed booked for a matrimonial
crolse until Ehardt came along with
his blue coat and brass buttons.
Trouble soon followed the wedding.
The bride was" subject to fits, "and
Ehardt, who professed a knowledge of
medicine, gave her numerous potions,'
all of which, according to her testi
mony, made her first dizzy and then
unconscious, but failed to effect a cure.
Next Ehardt tried blows and then came
separation and & suit for divorce.--.- /
Documentary evidence supported the
wife's plea. She produced . in court a
neatly written letter in v hlch Ehardt
admitted that he had done wrong,
begged forgiveness and signed himself
"Tour repentant husband." Further
testimony revealed that Ehardt, who is
now on detached duty In - the Quarter
master's department. Is possessed of
most unsoldlerly thrift. Besides the
historical $13 a month he makes $25 a
month on commutation of rations and
by acting as a book agent during his
spare hours swells his Income- to an
average total of |125 a month..
TELLS STORY OF TRAGEDY
DURING SEAMEN'S STRIKE
Attorneys Wrangle While Sailor Re-
lates How Andrew Kellner Was
Shot to Death
After several sessions devoted to the
reading of depositions the trial of Jo
seph B. Hubbard and George L. Ham
mar, charged with the murder of.An
drew Kellner during the sailors' strike
last year, has again reached an inter
esting stage. Henry Heisterman. .* a
union sailor who was with Kellner In
the launch Escort when he was killed
by a shot from the steamer National
City, took the stand yesterday and told
a dramatic story of the tragedy.
Heisterman recalled all the little de
tails of the Journey to the National
City, \u25a0which was then manned by a non
union crew. The portion of his, testi
mony telling of the death of Kellner
was as follows:
T was sitting In the cockpit. "We
were near the steamer. I heard shot*:
then I saw Kellner straighten. up and
grab his breast with' both hands. - He
cried, "Oh, Jesus. Fm shot,' and fell
back Into the cockpit and lay theie
groaning. When I looked up -I, saw
Hubbard shooting from the deck."
Several tilts between Henry Ach, at
torney for the defense, and Special
Prosecutor H. XT. Hutton, also between
Ach and Assistant District Attorney
James M. Hanley, occurred while Heis
terman was testifying. Ach charged
that Hutton was Indirectly telling the
witness what to say In response to
questions on cross examination. Hut
ton denied having any such Intention.
Hanley advised Ach "to keep cool and
not butt In so much."
At each outbreak Judge Cook rebuked
the attorneys and ordered them to cease
bickering ani proceed with the trial.
MODERN MERCHANDISING
IN THE MISSION DISTRICT
Newman Brothers Company's Meth
ods Are Proving a Boon to .
the Householder
. The popular Impression firmly held
by many is that purchases by install
ments are from necessity or custom
considerably higher than if cash is paid
\u25a0when the article is bought. This Im
pression has undoubtedly been well
founded from the experience of many
people in years gone by, but at the
present time, owing to the wonderful
advances made in the sdence'of-busi
ness firms have devised such perfect
methods of ascertaining the credit of a
purchaser that losses are reduced " to a
minimum. Most people are honest,* and
those who are not are easily located
and their, trade refused. , • •.
When a purchasers' credibility; .Is
once established there is no Aore
reason to place an excessive price upon
merchandise sold him under the install
ment plan than If he paid a substantial
amount down and was " given a lew
months . In which to pay the balance.
Increased sales through . the Installment
system result In greater profits .than
large profits on a smaller number Tor
cash sales. ,' \u25a0 ' " \
• Working upon this theory. Newman
Brothers company; of Eighteenth; and
Mission streets \u25a0 has built up . and "Is
constantly ' Increasing * a , buslvesi of
magnitude In * furniture, - carpets^ and
ready made clothing ' for .- men 'and
women. The method has proved 'a' boon,
especially- since the". fire,- to the house
holder, small merchant and profes
sional man,, who are^thus enabled 'to
acquire in ah easy way' the privileges
of a- comfortable existence that ; would
otherwise be \ denied them." \u25a0 Newman
Brothers carry everything -In house,
office and . personal furnishings In . spa
clous two story warerooms, 8 5x160 'feet.

There: are three Shakespearean dam

whom every- young actress : and - any

could successfully play. .\u25a0 .' '
Just as 90. per, cent of .the : male" his

let fail to express .Its psychological
meaning, so : it - is '- with .'the * ladles \u25a0 who
yearn to act -one or,all;'of . the.maldens
mentioned. ..The delightful 'sentiment
of the characters \ so : commends them
to the feminine 'imagination that they
are \u25a0 especially ; hungered ! for. -Yet there
is nothing more, difficult ; In :: the; en tire
range . Of dramatic * art ' than to " portray,
any one of .'the .trio.'"
Let ;us . • take Viola ": ; for example.
Neither Juliet nor Rosalind is so subtly
delineated. ' Shrewd v treatment : ls t re
quired to bring; out' her varying per
plexities ; and - tender*^- disposition >as
Shakespeare Intended she should be re
vealed. The woman, who is experienced
enough to express and | differentiate her
emotions must be. too old to completely
satlsfy ; the -eye and. yet; represent, the"
spirit of? peach' blossom youth." • But ' a
glittering ."exception to "this -: rule ; was
