Concerning mrs. wa,er..

In the report Of the trial of the foul
robbers yesterday at Taney's court q
reference was made to "Mother Waters
crib" The expression was an unfortu.
nate one. as the word "crib" happens tc
be used in this locality with a specific
meaning, which it does not have in othe,
parts Of America or England, as a refer.
ence to any dictionary will show. Mrs
Waters conducts a lodging house princi
pally inhabited by railroad men. In JUS
tice to her it must be said that the estab.
lishment is perfectly respectable in every
way, and as Mrs. Waters il
an honest, hard working woman
who keeps her children al
school and supports her family by hel
own exertions, it was very far from the
intention of the HERALD to speak ill ol
her. 1t ought to be added, moreover
that when she discovered that some OF
her dodgers had been at crooked work
she made no effort to shield them, but
assisted the officers in the search o.
their rooms.

Bughes Sentenced.

Patrick Hughes, the wife-beater ap-
peared for sentence in Justice Austin Is
Court yesterday at O'Clock. His Honor
inquired whether the defendant had
anything to say as a reason why sen.
tence should not be pronounced upon
him, and with cheerful display OF
cheek Mr.. Hughes said that he hoped
the Court would not give him long
sentence as he did not like to leave his
wife alone and unprotected. Justice
Austin appeared to be of the opinion
that the woman did not stand much in
need of such protection as her husband
had afforded her, and he sentenced him
to spend 100 days in the County Jail.

THE ORANGE MARKET.
4 lOridR Fruit Being Sold ON tn
Pacific Coast.

4 lOfidR Fruit Being Sold ON the
Pacific Coast.
"Do you know that Florida oranges
are being sold on the Pacific coast" said
a broker of the yellow fruit to HERALD
man yesterday. ga friend of mine in
Portland, Ore, is expecting carload
every day, and from adviees received
from Sacramento understand that some
are due there. One reason for this is
that the Florida orange ripens a good
deal earlier than does the fruit on the
trees here, but that is not the only cause,
the most important one being as regards
the price. The crop in Florida was a
very heavy one this year and am in
formed that about $500 carloads will be
packed, or in the neighborhood of $780,
600 boxes. AS result the prices have
been rather low and Florida oranges are
being sold at auction in Chicago at from
81. so to $1.7O box. Now our growers
cannot commence to compete with these
figures. In the first place we will only
produce about 25, 900 carloads, or 750, 900
boxes, and very few men will sell at less
than 81 box on the tree, while some
want 80, and others even more. 1t is
very hard to anticipate the market price
and will tell you something that may
surprise you, and that is that
Los Angeles county oranges very
often bring better price right
here in the city of Los Angeles than they
do in Chicago. The reason for this can
soon explain. A small grower comes
into town with say ten or twenty boxes,
which he proceeds to peddle among the
fruit stands and stores. He makes up
his mind that they are worth certain
figure, enough to compensate him for
his labor in producing them, and he will
not part with them until he has got it.
Now, take the big shipper. Go to him
when he has carload on the track, and
ask him what he will take for the ship
ment. In all probability he will tell
you $50 box Now that fruit goes
say to Chicago, and there the market may
be glutted and as q result his fruit, if
it is put up at auction may 60 at 81 or
$3.50 box, or considerably below the
Los Angeles prices. Do not think, how
ever, that am attempting to decry the
orange business. In my opinion if it is
properly handled it is the most profitable
industry in Southern California. AL
though as have said the Florida grow
ers can underbid us, there is one element
that they can never get, and that is quail
ity, for our productions have long since
had the palm of excellence awarded to
them. I remember one instance last
year where q Tustin shipper refused
1915 box for his fruit as it stood on
the track, and his judgment was wise,
for his shipment of 2SO boxes was sold
in Chicago for 81, ,496, an average Of 1920

The New Gold Fields.

An arrival yesterday from Yuma says
that the gold excitement up the Colorado
River has not abated. Old miners aver
that the quartz strike in the Centennial
district is the richest known for years,
and prospectors are swarming over the
country in every direction. The rush
has made quite boom for the river
boats and the Mojave and Gila are
crowded down to the waters edge every
trip with anxious men who do nothing
during the journey but talk of the pros
poets before them. 1t is said that two
men made IS 900 in ten days at the new
diggings, but all such statements should
be taken as mere ruEcors.

CHARGED WITH FORGERY,
Henry Mueller Captured After a
Long Search.

Henry Mueller Captured After a
Long Search.
A restaurant cook by the name OF
Henry Mueller was arrested yesterday
morning on charge Of forgery. He gave
the name of Herman Pfuetzner to the
arresting officer, and he also rejoices in
another alias of John Roeder.
Some time ago he was in the employ
of N. N. Morgan, who was running a
restaurant on Main street. Morgan was
in the habit of paying his employees
with checks, and in this way Mueller be-
came familiar with the signature. On
the 4th of last August it is said
he tried the experiment of rais-
ing money by drawing a check for
$40 in his own favor on the First Ma
tional Bank and signed it with Morgan's
name. He passed it over the bar to
Henry Weiderman, who has saloon on
Main and Arcadia streets, and received
the cash ior it.
Elated by the success of the scheme,
he Immediately repeated it. this time
trying a little ipesse by picking out q
new name for himself. A second check
was executed on the same bank, this
time for SIS, and drawn in favor of John
Roeder. On the back he endorsed it
with the name Of John Rider, thus mis-
spelling the name he had adopted.
Nevertheless, he managed to get cash for
it from another saloon-keeper by the
name of Emil Waldeck.
The checks passed through various
hands and finally turned up at the bank,
where they were promptly thrown out as
forgeries by one of Mr.. Spence's sharp
eyed tellers. The police Immediately
began search for the forger, and yester-
day he was caught in o restaurant on
South Main street. He confessed that
he was the man who passed the checks,
but declares that he obtained them from
other persons.

High Ball.

The four robbers, Kirby, German,
Jones and Cochran, appeared again in
Justice Taney's court yesterday and were
examined on four more charges of rob-
berry. On each one they were held to
answer at bail of 50 500. This makes q
total of eight charges against Germain
and Cochran and of seven against Kirby
and Jones. The total bail of the first two
ia $4,000, and OF the others is $17, 500.
It is needless to remark that they are not
likely to secure it, There still remains
one more charge against German and
Cochran.

OUT OF JAIL.
How IL Is Said mrs. Ellsworth
Eluded Trial.

Eluded Trial.
The San Fernando woman, Mrs. 10
sephine Ellsworth, who was arrested
last Tuesday night for being drunk OF
the streets, was taken away from tn,
station the next morning and sent to tn,
Girls Home to be put in charge of Mrs
Watson. The reason assigned for send
ing her there was that she was about tt
give birth to child.
The practice has for some time pre-
vailed at the police station of treating re-
spectacle people who happen to be founO
on the street laboring under the influ.
ence Of too much liquor yer,
le1iently. They we're generally booked
as applicants for medical treatment"
and allowed to go free when they had
sobered up. The matter coming up be-
fore the Police Commissioners they
found their consciences would not allow
this evil practice to continue and per.
emptory orders were issued that hereafter
no "drunks" were to be booked as
medical treatment
The case of the Ellsworth woman was
of similar sort. Under the old arrange
ment she would have been booked under
the happy euphemism given above and
in the morning put in the care Of her
friends and shielded from disgrace.
Some inventive genius thought that
a happy way to get this erring
individual out of the scrape was
to spring this little fiction about her deli
cate condition. Yesterday the now
"trooly virtoous" police department dis.
covered the fraud which had been prac.
ticed and promptly demanded back the
person of the woman, that she might be
tried for the crime of drinking too much
liquor. It is said that the person or per-
sons who engineered the scheme are
going to get into trouble with the Police
Commission.

Lee An Wan.

Lee All Wan, the Chinese woman who
was arrested short time ago on the
charge of petty larceny, was tried yester-

court and the charge was dismissed,
nothing being found out of which to
make satisfactory case. There is also
pending against the same woman q
charge of grand larceny, said to have
been committed in Santa Barbara, and
she will be taken north tomorrow to be
tried for this offense.

1t appears that there was a little un-

rival last week of the first train into
Santa Monica over the Los Angeles and
Pacific's new road. Mr.. Spillman, who,
in addition to being one of the directors
of the road, was its contractor, received
information on Thursday evening, the
night before the road was completed,
that measures we're about to be taken to
prevent his getting the road on to the

The Irilarv Divorce.

The suit for divorce brought by Jean
Irilary against Juana Irilary came up for
trial in Judge Hutton's courtroom yes
terday afternoon. The plaintiff in the
case alleged in his complaint that his
wife had left him, taking their child
along, and had gone to San Pedro, where
she was surrounded by such belongings
as were not proper for the bringing up Of
the child. Juana Irilary shortly after
ward filed an answer and cross com plant
in which she alleged that her husband
had treated her cruelty and had COM
mitted adultery with two women at Tus-
tin. When the case came up yesterday
afternoon the defendant did not appear
and the evidence offered was on behalf
OF the husband, to whom divorce was
granted.

vicinity to join with him in keeping ou
the road on the plea that it was intended
10 put switching yards on the avenues
and thereby injuIe the realty there. MIR
Spillman did not know exactly what hi:
opponents plans were, but he surmise
that they would endeavor to enjoin him
the next day, 90 he made preparations
to defend himself as well as possible
He went down to Santa Monica early the
| next morn ng and told his men that he
| wanted them to get the road on to the
bluff as quickly as possible. The boye
entered into the spirit of the thing, and
dirt flew and hammers fell on spike
heads at a rate very unusual in
construction history. No effort was
made to do anything but just place the
rails so that an engine could pass over
them, and cribbing and all the other de-
vices known in the profession were
brought into use with good effect. At
O'Clock the last rail was set and fifteen
minutes later the first engine had
steamed on to the terminus at the bluff,
and was shrilly announcing itself to the
citizens. When the 2 o'clock train ar
rived over the Southern Pacifc's track,
off it jumped a number of individuals
with the documents of enjoinment, but
they could not stop Mr.. Spillman's road
from going to the bluff, as it was already
there, SO they had to retire and vent
their spleen in an apostrophe to the
sad sea waves. The citizens of Santa
Monica showed in the evening how glad
they were to get their new medium of
traffic by burning bonfres all over the
town. An enthusiastic delegation went
to Mr.. Spillman's residence and presented
his wife with some very handsome floral
tokens, after which Mr.. Spillman was
