porter last night and found to be in a
very troubled state of mind.
my fears of Edith's having been
or seriously hurt by Hanley while in a
drunken rage" said he, ''are only in
creased by her continued silence. She
would certainly have telegraphed US had
anything serious occurred, if 1t were pos
sible for her to do 40. She must have
been apprized of the stories which are
being circulated regarding nef through
the Associated Press dispatches this
morning land realizing the great suspense
in which her mother and L are peing
kept, would have telegraphed us some
intelligence at once.
II have been expecting a letter from
her every day, as she usually writes two
or three times week. The last one we
received was dated September I'd and
mailed from st. Louis. 1t is now five
lays since it's arrival, and we have had
no word since. In her last letter she
made no mention of any trouble between
herself and her husband. The first til
nation L had that anything was wrong
came from dispatch sent by Hanley, in
which he SAID Edith HAD left him and
he was broken-hearted. That appears
rather inconsistent when at the same
time he is reported to have telegraphed
to his attorney in New York to begin
divorce proceedings against his WIFE. In
my opinion he liz only seeking notoriety.
l cannot explain his conduct In any other
way:
while under the influence of liquor
Han]ey is a perfect demon and is not ac-
countable for what he does. At other
times he is very gentlemanly and as kind
and attentive to his wife as any man
could be. If in the present instance
nothing but separation has taken place,
Hanley is sure to come around in a peni-
tent way. as he has often done before,
and seek q reconciliation. l feel certain
that my daughter will not grant 1t if he
does, for she has endured his i'll treat
ment too long already. She has been one
of the most patient and forgiving of
women, and never until about five weeks
ago, while the company was in New York,
has she written home of her husband S
brutal behavior. OF course we knew how
he was acting. For about eight months
he lived here with us, and during that
time he was often drunk, and on such
occasions always abused his wife. We
protested against her remaining with
him, but she. poor child, thought to re-
form him; but from appearances she has
had a sad failure.
''If no word has been received from her
by tomorrow 1 shall fear the worst. In
dlcations That she has been
seriously injured are now so
strong that entertain grave doubts of
ever seeing her again.

CRUSHED BY HEAVY WHEELS
Mrs. j. c. Fletcher Was Run Over Yes.
terday and Killed
She Became Frightened at the Horses
and Did Not Know Which Way
to Turn

Mrs. Fletcher, wife of Rev. J. c,
Fletcher. was run over and killed shortly
after O. clock yesterday evening. Mrs.
Fletcher had just left the Temple street
car and was crossing the street, when a
six-horse team coming down the hill
from Belmont avenue frightened her by
its rapid approach, and instead OF going
ahead she became confused and stopped
directly in front of the horses. IL was
impossible for the driver to halt his
team, and before be could gain control of
them Mrs. Fletcher was trampl>d beneath
their feet and the heavy wagon passed
over her body.
The owner of the teac, and several by
ISLANDERS who witnessed the sad accident
rushed to the PROSTATE woman and
carried her into Herzefeld's drug store on
the corner of Temple street and Belmon
avenue, where she received every posi-
BILE attention from physician. She re-
manned unconscious, however, and soon
after died from the effects Of her injur-
les. Her body was badly tram pied by the
horses and completely crushed by the
heavy wheels of the wagon. Later IN the
evening the remains were removed to the
undertaking rooms of kregelo o. Bresee,
where an inquest Will be held this morn
ing.
The driver of the team after doing all
he could for the injured lady continued
on his way. He is prospector, and was
travelling toward the mountains. Those
who witnessed the tragedy say he is in no
way to blame for the accident. When in
formation reached the police headquarters,
Officer Rico was sent to dstaIn the man,
but up to late hour last night he had
not returned.
Mrs. Fletcher was an elderly lady of
foreign birth. She is an old resident of
this city, and among the most noted of
Los Angeles citizens. Many of her paint
ings are in the great art galleries of
Europe.
She leaves many friends among the best
circles in the city, who will mourn her
sad and untimely death.

The normal school was opened at 0
o'clock yesterday morning under the
most favorable auspices. Four hundred
and thirty students registered during the
day, of whom 152 were now pupils. Be-
tween thirty and forty hold either high
school diplomas from the six leading
high schools of the state, or first grade
teachers certificates. These will take ad-

been made by the addition OF several
new features to the former curriculum.
Formal opening exercises were con-
iucted at the School, consisting of sew.

rom leading local educators and State
superintendent of Schools Black.
Mr.. Black spoke of the auspicious be-
ginning OF the new term, and in few
happily chosen remarks complimented
the students on their interest in educa-
tonal work. The speaker then reviewed
the history of sducation, going back to
the time when the training of the young

CLAIM SNAP JUDGMENT
Wallace's Circus May Not Show
Here
The City License Was Increased on the
Company After the Arrangements to Pay
the Old Tax Were 1ade

The statsine nt ia made by representa-
tives OF the Wallace circus, at present In
this city, that the local dates of the show
are to be cancelled and the circus people
intend to'giye Los Angeles tine go-by.
The reason for this proposed action is the
alleged snap judgment which the circus
people say the city council has taken In
amending the ordinance pertaining to
circus licenses, in which the show tax is
increased from $500 to $1,000 for two
days engagement of circuses such as the
Wallace shows.
This action was taken by the council
last Monday. the proceedings being
rushed SO as to take in the Wallace circus.
The reason for amending the ordi-
nance, as given at the time. was that cir
cuses take away thousands of dollars from
the, city, and the syndicate shows had
been of such character that they ought
to have been taxed out of existence.
The day that the law was amended
representative of the Wallace people.
after being informed that his circus would
be taxed $500 for a series of two days
performances, left an order for that
amount with the city clerk, the money to
be paid over as soon as the show arrived,
by the cOmpany's treasurer. The circus
people now insist tnat their treatmen
has been an outrage. They object to be-
ing compelled to suffer for the shortcom-
ings of the syndicate people, and al
though they have so far spent thousands
of dollars in billing the city, they WILL
lose the money and will cut the city
treasury out OF a $500 pickup.
Acting Mayor iced has not yet signed
the new ordinance, and there is no GER
taInty that he will do SO. He was alb
sent from his post all day yesterday. AS
soon as the ordinance is signed it will be
published one day and Will then beco M g
a law. The mayor may allow the ordin-
ance to became law by hanging the Or
dinanos up for q period OF ten DAYS, as
he can do under the charter.
