Deputy Health Officer Levy recent-ly filed a requisition with the Super-

visors' Finance^ Committee for a newbug&y for the Twenty-sixth street hos-

pital on the ground that the one nowin use is a ramshackle affair thatthreatens to fall to pieces at theslightest provocation. The commit-tee, which is nothing if not econom-ical, thought the old buggry should berepaired and the matter was referredto Steward Thomas Farrell for a re-

port on the character of the repairsrequired. Farrell's. report was to theeffect that the buggy needed the fol-lowing additions:

"One new shaft, four new wheels,

and various other accessories."Then at the bottom of his report Far-

rell facetiously remarks:"P. s.—Recapitulation: One new

buggy." '¦

The report has been sent to the Fin-ance Committee and the result is anx-iously awaited by the health officials.

Chief of Police Wittman yesterdayappeared before Judge Cabaniss ascomplaining witness against .E. W.Darling, alias "The Nature Man," ac-cused of circulating obscene literature.Mr. Darling's costume was as scantas decency would • permit, evenat a seaside bathing resort. Hisnether limbs were bare below theknees, his arms and a wide expanseof chest were also nude, and his head-covering consisted of a thick tangle oftawny hair that flicked his brawny

shoulders and mingled with the stray

threads of a luxuriant, snuff-coloredbeard. A shirt and a bifurcated gar-ment, both of light material, comprisedhis attire.

As material evidence against the de-fendant there was produced In courta Email printed card captioned with avignette of himself and containing tenphonetically spelled health hints, one ofwhich was of a character said to beunfit for distribution in a respectable jcommunity. Itwas charged that "The INature Man" sold the cards on thestreets for five cents apiece, thereby

vlolating section 311, Penal Code ofCalifornia.

Chief Wittman said that he wouldlike to have Mr. Darling retired fromcirculation during the forthcoming visitof the Knights Templar, as the city"s

dignity could not possibly be enhancedby having strangers from afar see a

semi-naked man parading its high-

ways. Such a sight might tend to

! make them believe that California isas wild and woolly as imaginativeEastern writers sometimes make it out

to be. After gazing upon "The NatureMan," the Chief thought, the visiting

Knights would be looking for hisjungle on Market street and arming

themselves inanticipation of an attackby Indians on Kearny street or a buf-

j falo stampede on Van Ness avetiue.

Mr. Darling pleaded his own defensej and his language was quite

itemperate, and in. other respects

!at variance with his personal| appearance. He was a graduatej of Stanford University, he said,; who had discovered by actual experi-'

ment that human health and spirits

icould be best preserved by remmnclng

I the sartorial and dietary conventions!of modern society and livingas primi-

| tive man Uved—close to nature. RuleiNo. 2 of nis health hints showed thej way to do this:

"Gradualy tufen ur body &mind by

!wotr &sun-bath til u kan safeiy sleep

J outdorz in ordinary wether. Liv alwaz'< in pure, out-dor air."

As for breaking the law by peddling

!his cards, Mr. Darling disclaimed In-j tent to do that. His literature was dis-tributed for the benefit of folk who de-sired to live long and. die deeply re-

gretted. The rule of which complaint

j was made he considered the most Im-J portant of the series, and if he were' not allowed to promulgate Ithe would|have no desire to remain InSan Fran-

cisco, as its suppression would be thecity's lors, not his. -he rule enjoined

|a somewhat continent life and opposed!a life of lust, following the lines oft modern tokological writers.

The case was^ continued till Septem-

ber 6, the defendant being allowed togo on his own recognizance. Ifhe fallsto reappear on the aforementioned dateand ithas been ascertained that he leftthe city, no effort willbe made to havehim brought back.

Judge Conlan heard all the testi-mony for the prosecution of Benjamin

F. Germain, accused of bigamy, and setnext Friday as the date for hearing

the defense.Two women testified that they had

been led to the altar by the defendant,

and before and after testifying they

sat side by side and chatted amiably

and in undertone. Germain did not ex-

hibit much concern as his allegedbigamous conduct was being recounted.

Mrs. E. H. Germain, middle-aged,tastefully gowned inblue, told of hermarriage to the defendant on January

2. 1903. at Oregon City, Or., by theRev. P. K. Hammond, who also ap-peared incourt and identified Germainas the groom of that occasion. Hecould not be mistaken because Oregon

City is a small place and marriage

there is not an everyday occurrence.Documentary evidence in the shape

of a small book bound in white andgold was introduced. The book, inaddition to containing a duly certifiedrecord of the wedding, was filled withneatly printed marital axioms, one ofwhich was to the effect that true con-tentment means pure happiness. Thehook was identified by Mr. Hammond«s the one he had presented to thebride.

Mrs. Virginia H. Harper then toldof her marriage to Germain last Sep-

tember in this city. She had a res-

taurant in Santa Barbara and the de-fendant was her cook when he wonher affections, which he never wouldhave won if she had known he had alegal wife then living.

Germain's defense willprobably bethat he thought the Oregon City ladyhad obtained a divorce from himwhen he married the Santa Barbaralady.

Jake Emige's feelings toward MissEtta Raymond of/448 Linden avenuehave evidently undergone radical mu-tation Eince he was arrested last Sat-urday night for visiting her home anddisturbing the peace. Then he wasin pleading mood, but yesterday hgwrote to Judge Conlan a letter thatreflected pitiless animosity toward theauthor of his incarceration. Here isthe missive as it was scribbled witha lead pencil upon a scrap of paper:

Judge Hebbard yesterday granted adivorce to Jerome S. Kimpton fromJulia A. Kimpton for habitual intem-perance; Judge Hunt to Florence M.Clark from William Clark for neglect;Judge Kerrigan to May Duffy fromMartin Duffv for desertion. In a suitfor maintenance Judge Hunt J orderedFord S. Potts to pay $20 a month tohis wife, Dora Potts. Judge Seawelltook under submission the divorce suitof Katherlne Smith against AlfonseSmith, whom she charged with cru-elty. They have two children.

Suits for divorce were filed yester-day by Edith W. Ezekiel against* E.H. Ezekiel for neglect; Josie Wisneragainst Albert H. Wisner for cruelty;

Mary Lang against George Lang, cru-elty; Anna B. Moore against George B.Moore, neglect and cruelty: FlorenceM. Smith against Fred B. Smith, de-sertion; Mabel L. Nickum against

James W. Nickum, cruelty; Ella N.Collins against William Collins, deser-tion and neglect.

Patrick Ryan, the clerk in the Hiber-nla Bank, yesterday answered the suitfor divorce begun by his wife, Maud.He denied all of her allegations ofcruelty, denied his alleged exhibitionof temper on the return trip from theirShasta outing and denied that he hadnot provided a wardrobe for their ex-pected child until the eleventh hour.In this matter he explained that hegave his wife a cash allowance andthat she had an account at one of thedry goods stores and could have pro-vided for the infant herself, as he ex-pected her to do.

She charged in her complaint that hearranged a celebration for the chris-tening of the babe without consulting

her. He denies this and says that heconsulted her and the arrangements

were satisfactory. The christening washastened, he says, because he wantedhis brother, a- Catholic* clergyman, toperform the ceremony and the brotherwas about to depart for Europe. Ryan

also says that the mother and brotherof his wife lived at their home andmade themselves obnoxious by theirofflciousness in household affairs. Hedeclares that on several occasions after

ithe acts complained of in her suit theywere separated and made up again.

She now declares that because ofher marriage with Dunphy she willbecome a mother, but that he deniesthe paternity of the expected child.She says, too, that his treatment ofher ten-year-old son by a former mar-

riage forced the boy to leave homefor two days and to prevent her fromsearching for him Dunphy locked herin a closet and would not let her donher clothes. While the boy was away

she says Dunphy expressed the hope

that he was "feeding the fishes," there-by indicating his wish that thelad wasdrowned. Because of his abuse of her,

says the wife, she left him on August

16 and sought refuge with friends, butthree days after Dunphy called at herstopping place and assaulted her. Mrs.Dunphy reiterates that her husbandowns property worth $200,000 or more,including ranches in Nevada and La-posa, Cal. She asks the court to al-low her $1000 for attorneys' fees and$250 a month alimony pending the trialof the suit. ,

Thomas Scott, who snatched somecash change which a Fourth-streetsaloon-keeper was handing to a manwho had paid for drinks, was sent upfor six months by Judge Conlan. Thearrest was made by Patrolmen Cole-man and Condon, who gave the de-fendant an unenviable character.

"Then it was not strong enough totravel of its own volition?" pursuedthe court. .,

No, it was not; in fact, it was acheese that could be introduced withimpunity to the most fastidious pal-ate.
