THE PITKIN CASE.
Judge York Discusses some Points and
Decides Them.

Judge York Discusses Some Points and
Decides Them.
In the case of Aunie Pitkin va. O. F.
Pitkin, Judge York yesterday filed
short opinion, upon q motion to strike
out she supplemental cross- complaint.
In this action the court ordered the
defendant TO pay to plaintiff alimony
and CO unset fees pendente lite.
The defendant has filed cross.com-
plant and also supplemental crose-
complaint stating acts alleged to have
occurred since the announcement OF
the action.
The plaintiff moved to strike out de-
fendant'e supplemental cress-complaint
because of his neglect to comply with
said order.
The defendant contends that the
striking out of auch complaint would be
q punishment for contempt of court
and that the court cannot impose such
punishment without citing the defend
ant personally to show cause. Plaintiff
is unable to make personal service OF
such citation.
Judge York after discussing the low
points involved holds the following:
The plaintiff cannot dismiss her &C.
tion because of the affirmative relief
sought by defendant in his cross.com-
plaint. She may not be able to present
her side OF she controversy because OF
defendsnt's refusal to pay her what the
court has ordered to enable her to do
90. The payment OF what the court has
ordered is necessary in the prosecution
of defendsn:'s cause of action alleged
in his supplem entail cross-complaint as
justice demands it should be prosecuted.
fhe order of the court was intended to
give each an equal opportunity to pre-
sent the merits of the controversy. The
payment to the wife wac to enable her
to have an equal standing before the
court with her husband; and her neg
lect to be ready to try the case, caused
by his neglect TO furnish her with the
means to procure counsel. is his neglect.
While it may be punishment for a
contempt for the court to now strike tne
supplemental ross-compleint from the
files for the defendants dieobedience to
the order of the court, think the court
can dismiss defendants supplemental
cross-complaint for neglect of propecu-
tion.
1t will, therefore. be ordered that the
defendant, within 10 days, pay to plain
tiff or her counsel the sum ordered to be
paid for costs and counsel fees; and
that if the same be not go paid, or Huf-
ficient cause shown for such nonpay-
ment, then that said supplemental cross
complaint be dismissed for neglect of
prosecution.

AMONG THE CYCLISTS,
The Big Handicap and Some of tn
Riders.

The Big Handicap and Some of the
Riders.
Great interest is being manifested in
he s. G. Spier bicycle handicap race,
which will be given stAgricultural at park
next Saturday. The world. .bsater, Otto
Ziegler, has entered, together with half
dozen other crack riders from the
north. and it will be the south against
the north.
Yesterday Ziegler and the other mem
bers of the Rambler team went to train
ing ct the mile track, where they will
shortly 60 for more OF the worlds rec
ords. The tandems are used in pacing
the little demon" from San jose.
The local bicyclieta are in no wise
frightened at the northern cracks, and
are hard at work. Among those who
are doing good training are Jenkins.
Ublbricht, Kitchin, McAleer. Cowan,
Burke. Long, Hstton and others.
Jenkins is looked upon as q probable
winner OF the handicap, for which there
Is $3.50 piano. Other prizes of much
value will be given. Jenkins is doing
nome hard training, and will make a
hot fight for the rnce. Kitchin and Uhl-
BRIGHT are also in the race TO stay, and
the only complaint they have TO make ia
that they can't find time to train as
much as they would like.
The aignal corps of the National guard
in this city have ordered 25 March BIZ
cycles to use in their duties. The boys
will all be fitted up handsomely when

Evening Session.

Last evenings session of the Episco-
pal convocation was devoted to mission
cary effort, both at home and abroad.
and foreign fields. The congregation,
however, was much smaller than the
occasion warranted.
After the act order of evening prayer,
Rev. DR.. Dotten of Riverside spoke
briefly on Foreign Miasions. He urged
that the measure of our faith in the
work being done in tho mission field is
measure of our faith in Christianity !;
that if the plan of salvation is true, it
muet necessarily be for all countries and
all peoples. This being 30, il is the duty
of Christians to keep in touch with the
work being done in foreign fields by
means of the missions, which ia one of
the striking features of the century.
Rev. DR.. Easter of Redlands made a
very strong plea in behalf OF domestic
milestone. In carly life, before railroads
had been developed in the southern
states, he was invited by the bishop OF
Alabama to accept the position of intin-
Grant missionary in the desolate regiona
OF the state. His experiences there. az
related. were most interesting and gave
ditions existed in other portions OF the
United States today.
He compared the machinery of the
American church in carrying on mission
work with that of the church OF Eng
land to the advantage of the former. A
board comprising Is bishops. 10 priests
and 15 laymen represent the church,
and the general secretary Is the execu
tive officer and eupervises the work.
>. Abiding to the influx OF foreign
population. the speaker said: ''This
mass Of ignorance and turbulent ele-
ments, tending to anarchy. must be sub
dued and brought into harmony. There
is only one way to do this, and that ia to
bring them under the influence of
Christ" Proceeding to review the con-
dition of the negroes in the south, the
reverend gentleman made mention of
the fact that while in 1860 the negro
population only numbered about four
and half millions, in 1890 they num-
bered almost eight millions. "Thsy
are," said he, "a docile race,
easily influenced and led, and
at the game time, like all
uncultured races, OF strong passions.
We hear a great deal about the NEGRO
problem. All there is to it is to Chris
tianize them. 1t is pitiable to think
that the church expends $4,000 year
upon them-upon 100000 people. We
hear good deal about the yearning OF
the negroes for the ministrationa of the
church. l don't believe they have any
yearning at all or think or care anything
about it. But let matters 90 on ns they
are doing and an explosion will occur
such ss this country has never known.
1t will be more deadly than having q
volcano in our midet."
q Rev. J. D. Brown of Pomona spoke
on Diocesan Missions. those actually
supported by the church in the diocese.
and the meeting was brought to close.
The session this morning will prob
ably prove the most interesting held,
inasmuch es it will be devoted to discus
sing the possibility and also the advisa-
bility of the new diocese.
In the evening there will be social
and reception rendered to Right Rev
erend Bishop Nichols at the residence
OF Mrs. Wesley Clark, 234 Adams street,
to be given under the auspices of ST.
Johns church.

Humane Officer Wright ia looking for
the mother Of bouncing baby boy and
the chances of his finding her are very
slim. The infant, which is about 2
weeks old, and is blue eyed and haxen
haired, was left with a family at 751 Ell
mira avenue late Monday afternoon.
The mother. of whom q very meeger
description Is given, was middle-aged
and plainly dressed. She asked that
the child be cared for for q few minutes,
as she desired to 60 to a neighboring
drug store.
About 8 O'Clock il dawned upon the
lady of the house that she had an aban-
doned babe on her hands. On disrob-
ing the little one, part of an infants
outfit was found slowed away under its
dress. If no one claims 1t, Officer
Wright will turn 1t over to the care of

The case OF the People We. Bond, the
electric railway conductor who was ar
rested some weeks since on q charge or
embezzlsment, it being claimed that he
was using "brother.in-law," or false
bell, instead OF his register, came to an

neys for the prosecution moved the
court to dismiss the case, which was
done.

way company, the Lawson detective
agency, John D. Pope, F. W. Willis and
the deputy district attorney. But with
one of their witnesses sick, another
reported TO be in Jail, and third under

this formidable array of legal talent and
skilled professionals felt that convic-
ton was possible. Mr.. Bonds attor-
neys were F. E. Davis and T.. E. Glib
