Max Popper, its president, tiled a statement with the board yes terday asking that no trolley permit be given to the company unless it re ciprocated by giving the city the right to use the tracks for the extension of the municipal road from Gearv street. v arm opposition is also expected when theiboard takes up tbe proposi tion to bring back the nickel in .the slot machines. J. J. Dignan's petition to be allowed the use of two machines in connection with his cigar stand at Kddy and Powell streets will come be fore the police committee Tuesday. Rev. E. R. Dille of the Methodist Epis copal church and a number of other ministers who wore instrumental in having the prohibitory ordinance passed last year are expected to oppose the return of the machines. In a petition filed yesterday with the board J. Bell takes issue with Dignan in his plea lor a "trade stimu lant." Says Bell: •/-. "Any stimulant to trade is immoral. Trade should depend upon the ability to buy and pay for goods, not on stimu lants of any kind. These unnatural stimulants to trade produce panics. "If the petitioner wants to stimu late trade let him go to work and pro duce something that the people, want and must have. We don't need, slot machines." • COMPANIONS OF FOREST INSTALL NEW OFFICERS Robin Hood Circle Entertains Grand Chief Companion Robin Hood circle No. 5?, of the Companions of the Foresters of Amer ica, the home circle of Supreme Chief Companion Mrs. Lizzie Atwood. at its 2a*t meeting installed the following ofScers for the current term: >-*(*:e J.

FRANCE IS AGAIN SUED FOR DIVORCE Man Who Kidnaped Daughter Is Twice Charged by Wife With Failure to Support — - - - Plaintiff Demands Custody of Child and "Allowance for : Her Maintenance A second suit .for divorce was begun yesterday by Mrs. Violet Rose France, daughter of Mrs. Helen B. Reed, who is. 'a well known "society woman, against Robert Lee France, lumb"erj and fuel inspector for the '-Southern'; Pacific rail road. Following two* sp^tacular at tempts by France in Aprils last-, to. kid nap his baby daughterV Mrs. -^France filed a divorce complaint charging. her husband with cruelty. That action was answered and there were several, in teresting appearances in court of the parties, as a result of which France was ordered to pay his wifS |65 a month alimony pending determination of the case. However, in August the case was dismissed by stipulation, be tween the parties. The new complaint simply alleges failure to support arjd asserts that for more than a year France has not main tained his wife and child. France earns $200 a month. His wife asks nothing for herself, but demands $25 a month for the support and education of; their child, Helen Lucy France, aged 2 years and 7 months, whose custody she re quests. \u25a0 In the former complaint Mrs. France alleged that her husband endeavored to kidnap the child from the St. Francis hotel April 12, 1909, and repeated the attempt the following flay at Oakland. On the second occasion France was ar rested and held by the Oakland police until his wife and the child reached this side of the Bay. In- an affidavit filed in that action France charged that his mother in law, Mrs. Reed, was the cause of his' troubles with his wife. Alleging that he -was forced into marriage through fear of death, Wil liam E. Hayes began suit yesterday for annulment of his union with Allie Agnes Kenney, which took place at Redding May 31. 1909. "Will Kenney, a relative of the bride, is alleged to have visited Hayes at the place where he was em ployed in- Berkeley and threatened he would "fix" Hayes if he did not accom pany him to Redding. Hayes remon strated, but saysKenney threatened to kill him. In fear of his life he went to Redding, Kenney paying his fare, and was married to Allie Agnes Ken ney, the services of a minister havipg been obtained by Will Kenney. Im mediately after the marriage Hayes came back to. San Francisco and has never lived with the- defendant. He was 19 at the time of the enforced marriage. - Hannah Henderson yesterday sued James Henderson for separate mainte nance. She says her husband «wns a half interest in realty in California street, near Steiner. which he has threatened to dispose of : in- order to deprive her of the necessaries of life. Suits for divorce were begun-yester day by: Fred Marshall against "Pearl Ellis- Marshall, cruelty. Nettie C. Fellows against Burton J. Fellows, desertion. Gertie Burke against Patrick James Burke, habitual intemperance. Minnie G. Tebor^. against Frank L.' Tebor, desertion. ST.

BEAUTIFUL HOMES Every Individual Taste May Find Artistic Expression In Hand- some Hardwood Panels You can gratify your longing for the . home beautiful and have your house finished in the choicest of hard woods by using the new built, up panelings made by a progressive San Francisco firm.:. • E. A. Howard & Co. of 20 Howard street, San Francisco,, are pioneers in the manufacture of doors and panels from all the fancy hard woods. . All the beauty of the wood is brought out with additional charms of crotch and quarter saw never possible in the solid finish. .These beautiful door* and panels are inexpensive, are" easily installed, and because they can not warp, split or shrink are far more serviceable than the old. fashioned solid wood. AH the delicate grain, and cross- grain of \u25a0 the wood are* intensified, presenting In an otherwise ordinary room an atmos- phere of rare beauty and refinement. "The greatest economy is also effected in the matter of Installation. Instead of an expert and costly finisher any carpenter or clever^ person can easily put up the panels at very slight ex- pense. Paneled ceilings, paneled walls and beautiful flush doors are thus brought within the reachvpf those of ordinary means, and aristocratic in- teriors made possible in the most mod- erate priced houses. Handsome catalogues showing the' I various woods and their wonderful pos- sibilities for interior decoration are mailed free to all who are building or 1 who contemplate the building or re- modeling of their home.
