An Artist In Trouble.

An information was filed before JUS
tice Ling yesterday by Lizzie M Richey.
charging William voegtlin with bigamy.
The accused was arrested and held for
examination on Tuesday next at l0A. M.
Judge d. NJ. Adams and District Attor-
nsy White appear for the prosecution. 1t
will be remembered by the readers Of tie
HERALD that on the 18th of May last,
Mr.. Voegtlin, who is the celebrated
scene painter to whose artistic work the
Childs Opera House is indebted for its
beautiful ornamentation. was married to
the complainant by the Lutheran minis
ter in this city. On that interesting oc-
casion the groom represented himself as
having been divorced from one Bertha
Fleischman, who was then resident Of
San Francisco. 1t has since come to
light, it is claimed, that Voegtlin never
obtained q divorce and that Bertha
Fleischman, whom it is alleged he mar
ried at Burlington, Iowa, and who now
resides at New York City, is still his
lawful wife. Miss Richey, we under
stand, Is very indignant at the deception
practiced upon her, aud intends to pros
scute the deceiver to the full extent Of
the law.

League of Freedom.

A meeting Of the League of Freedom
was held last night at Turnverein Hall,
President e. C. Lips in the chair, Robert
Eckert, Secretary. The matter of clos
ing the saloons at midnight was consid-
cred and the ordinance requiring this
regulation. 1t was determined to con-
test. Col. J. +. Godfrey will contest
the legality of the ordinance on behalf Of
the League. which now numbers $50
members, all tax and license payers.
In pursuance Of the order Of the
Council Chief Cuddy caused the arrest
of Bob Eckert, K. T. McGinnis and
Tommy Shaw for keeping open saloons
alter midnight. They will appear be.
fore his Honor the Mayor this morning
at 81 O'Clock to answer for the crime,
provided il is crime.
A committee Of the League OF Freedom
will call on citizens during the next
week to solicit their subscriptions to the
protection fund, and regular meeting
will be held next Friday evening at
Turn Terein Hall to consider the situa-
tiOn.
1t appears that the old ordi-
nance limited the closing to 1928
o'clock in the morning, but this
new order Of the City Council calls the
time l2 O'Clock, midnight mistake Of
rs minutes, that would be fatal to the
city IL l2 o'clock should be determined
on. Besides. the city has been fooling
with the clock time Of the city and the
officers have no idea when IL o'clock
does come and none when 1925 arrives.
Here is one Of the beauties Of iinkering
with the time. Do we know what time
Of day il is anyway? When the people
come to their senses on this question
they will have the meridian Of Los An
geles established and legal time restored.
At present they will have host Of law
suits on their hands and get beaten in
the end. The League will contest the
ordinance through the courts.

A W oman's Home.

EDITOR HERALp-The attention Of the
press and thinking, benevolent people
have many times been drawn, during the
past year, to the need, in our rapidly
growing city, of home where friendless
but respectable women may be kept at q
very reasonable expense until enabled to
find employment; or, IL t'o old 10 labor
any more. may be cared for and made
comfortable the rest Of their days. Miss
Cleveland, the founder Of the Orphans
Home, who. with single hand, gath
cred in orphans and did the hard and re-
pulsive work, which was the nucleus Of
this Institution, has now opened her own
house for such home. 1t is not in
tended that this shall be shelter for
the lazy. but the Apostolic injunc tion,
"He that will not work, neither shall he
eat, will be held In constant remem-
branee. The weary, discouraged and
fainting shall find sympathy and COM
fort until they regain courage and
strength.
They who remember the needy, the
Lord shall deliver in time OF trouble"

Another Horror.

Thursday afternoon sad accident oc-
Cured that would bring tears to the eyes
Of the most hardened. A bright, inter
esting and promising child was burned
to death. Little Casa Van Dorm, o child
scarcely eight years old, was left alone
in the house. In her childish innocence
she thought she could cook supper for
mamma and papa before they came,
She had seen her parents start FIRE by
the use Of the deadly kerosene; she did
likewise and the coal oil can exploded.
Jnst how it happened no ono knows,
but two miners who happened to be
passing the house heard report, and
looking IN the direction Of the sound saw
the little girl run screaming from the
door enve.oped in flames. One Of the
miners rushed forward and, catching her
up, ran 10 the creek, about twenty five
yards away. put her in tho water and
extinguished the flames. DR.. Cook was
instantly summoned and did all in bis
power for the poor little sufferer, but
his best efforts were in vain, and after .
night Of horrible agony her innocent
soul took its fight to better world

witness the great and rapid progress OF
Los Angeles and the State Of California
since he left it twenty-seven years ago.
Mr. Brady will meet with o warm and
hearty welcome from many old friends
and acquaintance, and it Is not improb-
able that he may see fit to settle perma.
nently in our midst, and exchange the
cactus and the yucca of Arizona for the
vine and the orange of Los Angeles.
