with a lengthy affidavit, which he filed.
In this document he set forth that he
had made every effort to obtain work
by which he would be able to pay the
alimo1y and costs ordered to be paid
and with which to support himself, but
mat he had been unable to do so. This
he alleges has been through no fault of
his, but soielS-1by reason that he was
unable to obtain the mueh2coveted po-
sition. He claims that he has always
been ready and willing to accept any
kind of work, and was ready to work
at the Atlas mills, but was told he could
not have any place there. upon making
application. A number of business men
and others are named to whom Leh-
man made application, and their names
and addresses cover two sheets of type
written manuscript.
He goes on to allege that up to the
time of the last hearing he worked for
MS rather at9the munificent rate of SIS
per month, which was not enough to
satisfy his personal wants, and after
that time his father refused to pay him
wages, as times were too hard. He
consented, however to do the generous
thing, and give him his board and
clothes and enough money to pay cur
rent expenses until times got better
He claims he is without means and de-
pendent upon the charity of his father;
that he has at no time squandered his
money on vicious practices of any kind;
that he does not use tobacco or spiritu-
Gus linquors, and has no bad habits that
would occasion the expenditure of mon
ey so as to prevent him from paying
alimony if he could
This exemplary husband concludes
by stating that he has been informed

RIOS WAS NO HOG.
But He Stole One. and Is in Trouble In
CONSEQUENCES

A burly Mexican canned Ramon Rios
was brought to the county Jail at 4:2O
yesterday afternoon by Constable My
ers of Santa Monica and booked to
await examination on charge of burg
larry. AS told by the Of k'er, it appears
that Rios on Sunday night broke into
a slaughter house near Santa Monica
and stole whole dressed hog which he
loaded into wagon and carted off.
The theft was discovered early Mon
day morning and the constable started
on the track of the thief. He traced the
hog straight to Rios dwelling and just
as he was about to enter was confronted
by the burly proprietor who inquired
what was wanted. Myers said he had
come to search the house for the stolen
hog, at which he was fatty refused ad-
mittance He attempted TO enter any
way and fight ensued in which Rios got
the worst of it, Myers hit him over the
head with the butt of revolver, laying
open the scalp and making an ugly
wound. Rios was no hog himself and
this was all he wanted, so he submitted
to arrest.
The hog was found on the premises
and returned to the owner Rios being
brought up into the city and placed be-
hind the bars.

A LIQUOR CASE
Carried to the Supreme Court Without
Any Relief

An interesting decision has been
handed down by the supreme court in
the case of eX-parte Leo Stephen on
iabeas corpus.
The petitioner, convicted in the su-
perior court oe Orange county of mis-
demeanor in carrying on saloon and
selling liquor without having a license,
as required by ordinance No. 35 of the
board of supervisors of that county,
asked to be discharged on habeas cor
pus, on the ground Il 1t the ordinance
is void for various alleged reasons.
In dismissing the writ and remanding
the petitioner the supreme court ex-
amineS into the contention not infre-
quently made in other prohibition cit
les, that the ordinance discriminates
unlawfuily between those engaged in
the liquor business lin Orange county,
in that it imposes a much heavier Ii
cense tax upon those conducting such
business outside of Incorporated cities
and towns than upon those within
such municipalities, and for such rea-
son is void
But While this discrimination ex-
ists.'- says the supreme court, ''it is not
unlawful. 1t is no doubt based upon
the fact that those carrying on the
business Within Incorporated cities and
towns are. compelled to pay a munic-
ipal license tax, while those without do
not, or for other good reason affecting
the profits Of the business. Such dis
criminatfons the board have a right to
nlalEs. .ItIYSifGT r2f -ff-f

Crutcher. while Attorneys J. T. Jones
and Mcfarland represented the con-
tractor.
Mr.. Crutcher's demurrer was a gen.
eral one to the complaint, and he failed
to see that there was anything before
the court to review.
To this counsel for Contractor Long
fully agreed, in a certain way; that
inasmuch as the council had exceeded
its powers, acted beyond it's jurisdic-
tion and taken action that was preju-
dicial to the contractor and his asso-
ciates, they agreed that such action
was null, and asked that the court give
judgment declaring it void.
The court said that there was little
doubt but that the action taken by the
city council was void, but 1t seemed
hardly necessary to do anything. The
council was without authority to can
eel contract in the way it had done,
and so its action really amounted to
nothing. AS a necessary consequence
there existed no reason for determine
tion of that which was manifestly void
and of no effect.
Mr.. Mcfarland drew the attention of
Judge Shaw to the fact that the council
has judicial, legislative and ministerial
functions and that it has Jurisdiction
over street improvements. But the
court reminded counsel, in turn, that
such jurisdiction did not exist after the
contract had been made.
1t was contended by Mr.. Mcfarland.
however, that even then the council had
limited jurisdiction and that II would
be cminently proper for the court to
pass upon its action for the benefit OF
the contractor and to quiet his title,
SO to speak. to the contract
Judge Shaw failed to see any such me-
cessity, and Mr.. Mcfarland having re-
ceived the permission of the court that
briefs be filed, sailed off out of court
with the other attorneys in the case.

AN INSURANCE SCHEME.
Mrs. Mark Severance's Attempt to In
sure Her Life Fails.

George Larrabee. the life insurance
man, was yesterday held to answer in
the superior court for having embezzled
S140 from A. J. Forbes, general manager
of the Mutual Life Insurance company
Of New York. ~ p
From the evidence adduced it appear
ed that Mrs. Mark Severance desired to
take out a policy of insurance for S5O00
on condition that the extra S. per $1,000
charged aginst women, be remitted and
she be taken at the level rate. On this
understanding she paid Larrabee $40.
tho first premium, and he in the usual
way of business sent on to New York
where the policy was made out and for
warded here. When Mrs. Severance
read over the terms of the policy she dis
covered that her life was not being in
sured at the level rate but with the wo-
mems extra clause. She thereupon re-
fused to accept the document and want
ed her money back.
Mr.. Forbes. on his side, felt aggrieved
for he claims the $40 should have been
turned into him as manager.
Inasmuch as Mrs. Severance would
not accept the policy he returned the
$40 out of his own pocket and preferred
the charge of embezzlement against
Larrabee. Justice Young held that Lar
rabee was $40 ahead of the game and
held him to answer.

THE DIVORCE MILL.
A Skull and Crossbones as Playthings
in a Household.

The suit of Lillian L. Fearn against
I. r. Fearn came to trial yesterday be-
fore Judge Shaw The defendant is a
physician practiciug in Oakland, and
during the honeymoon began the cruel
ty upon which the present application
for divorce was founded. Even at such
early date his mind was morbidly sus-
pioious of his. wife ever proving unfaith-
full to him, and without insinuating any
such thing against her, he INDUCED in
certain playfulnesses which were Of du-
bious character. To frighten his wife
with a grinning skull and crossbones
was common thing, and huge knife
also cut figure in the domestic life
of the couple.
The defendant was ordered to pay
S75 month alimony, $50 costs and her
attorneys fees, which were not fixed
until October 10Th, when the matter will
come up again. The injunction pro-
ceedings were continued until the case
is finally disposed of.
In the case of Stoermer against Stoer-
mer, wherein the defendant was cited
to answer for contempt in not paying
alimony, Judge Mckinley continued
the case until this morning. @ e-
Mrs. E. T. Brockway was granted a
decree of divorce bv Judge Mckinley
yesterday from J. Brockway, on the
grounds of cruelty. For some unknown
reason the case was heard with closed
doors. albeit there was no evidence ad-
duced that was of such a nature as to
make a closed hearing desirable.
The plaintiff in the divorce suit of
William Hughes VS.. Anna Hughes, yes
terday dismissed the complaint.
Testimony was taken before Judge
Van Dyke in the suit of Mary Lasaviar
against Charles Iasaviar, and the case
was then continued until today. The ac-
ton is based on the ground of failure to
provide. AsAa

for every SO of the fine. The petitioner
contended that the punishment, being
greater than that prescribed by the or
dinance, was in excess Of the power of
the court and rendered the Judgment
void. The supreme court has held that
while the Judgment was in excess of
the maximum prescribed by the ordi-
nance, the only question involved is
what effect this may have upon the
Judgment. The supreme court holds
that the penal clause in section'1 of the
ordinance is invalid because it under
takes to punish the same act punisha-
BILE under section 435 of the Penal Code,
but it's invalidity did not affect the other
portions of that section. and defendant
having been convicted of misdemean-
or therein provided against, was pun
ishable therefor under the general stat
ute. The Judgment is not in excess of
the punishment prescribed by the latter
and is therefore valid
The above were the main points
raised and disposed of, and the supreme
court has discovered nothing in the OBJ
jections emitting petitioner to his dis
charge, and the writ has consequently
been dismissed.
