Cleanliness.

One Of the most important factors in
maintaining health in good order is
cleanliness. It's comprised in measures
that tend to keep the organs clean and
in proper order to perform all their
functions. The cleanliness Of the skin
ind the air (purity Of the air. that we
breathe in are essential for tie proper
keeping of ones health. Any Impurities
that are taken IN breathing find their
way to the blood, and thus serve so
many centers Of disease and are the
cause of many infectious diseases.
Again, if the skin is not kept clean the
impurities that are to be secreted are
unduly accumulated in the blood and
tend TO give rise 10 severe and often
dangerous disorders, such as skin dis
eases and blood poisoning.

LENAN AS A BURGLAR
His Trial on the Charge Commenced in
Department One

The trial Of L. c. Lenan, the colored lin
guist, on a charge Of burglary, was COM
menced yesterday before a jury In De-
partment one. 1enan is a native Of Jamai-
ca speaks six languages, is a stenograph-
er, once a lawyer, the unhappy possessor
of two wives and Is not unfamiliar with
the working Of the superior court of this
city, and Department one in particular.
The latter knowledge was obtained while
playing the role of defendant In bigamy
case some weeks ago.
The burglary charge against him consists
in the accusation of having entered the
apartments Of James Robinson, 1873 West
Eighteenth street, on the night OF June 70,
and Of having carried off valise contain
ing number of valuables.
In the preliminary examination Lenan
conducted his own examination in man.
ner that spoke of past experience. Yester-
day this fact was made the basis of fight
to strike out the transcript Of the exam
nation which contained the testimony of
the complaining witness who is now alb
sent Lenans attorney claimed that the
defendant was not Informed that he could
have an attorney, as is allowed by the con-
stitution, which gives every defendant the
right to be in court in person with counsel.
Judge Smith refused to grant the motion
to strike out the testimony because the at
torney before the trial stipulated for the
reading of that part of the transcript.
District Attorney McComas, after the
smoke of battle cleared, commenced the
reading of the document, which he failed
to finish when court closed. The case will
be continued today.

MARRIED AND DESERTED
Ernest McComas Must Show Why He
Failed to Pay Alimony


Failed to Pay Alimony
In answer to a citation, Ernest NJ. NC
Comas Of Compton appeared before Judge
Clark yesterday and endeavored to explain
why he should not be punished for con-
tempt of court for neglecting to pay his
divorced wife, Martha B. McComas, $40
a month alimony.
The parties were married october %, 1886,
and the same day McComas deserted mis-
bride. A few months after baby was
born, who lived only long enough to see
the light of day and die. Deserted and
penniless, Mrs. McComas lived on the
charity Of the good people Of Compton, who
were moved to pity by her condition.
In November 1897, through the kindness
of an attorney who charged her nothing
for his services, she secured divorce and
and order for $40 a month alimony. Since
that day not one cent has been paid by Nc
Comas, who during the greater part OF the
time has been receiving from SIS to S45
month.
Yesterday he explained that he had never
been In q position to pay the money as or
dered by the court, but would do so as soon
as he could. He said the greater part of
his earnings went to pay old debts, and
that after paying them there had been
nothing left.
Judge Clark remarked that an order of
court requiring him to pay his ex-wife
money for her support was of more i'm
portance than paying back debts, which
McComas had testified were due his father.
The court continued the decision in the
matter pending the action of the defend
ant. If he shows no inclination to pay the
elimony he will be ordered committed to
the county Jail.

FAILED TO FILE 1T
One of Those Unfortunate Oversights
of District Attorneys Office

Assistant District Attorney Williams
will appear before Judge Smith today and
show why, if he can, he has not returned
the bill of exceptions in the case of B. Sol
omon, who was convicted some seven
months ago of receiving stolen property.
1t was alleged ct the time that the goods
were stolen by an old soldier from a tailor
shop at Santa Monica and afterward
turned over to Solomon. At any rate,
Judge Smith believed the proof conclusive
and sentenced Solomon to two years in
San Quentin.
Mr.. Appel, the defendants attorney, did
not believe the crime warranted so heavy
a sentence, so he filed a notice of appeal.
On March 81 he presented n bill of excep-
tions to the court, which was on the same
day turned over to MIR. Williams to maks
such corrections as he thought necessary.
Under the code. the prosecuting attorney
has ten days to make the changes The
time expired something like six months
ago. but still Mr.. Williams failed to return
the bill.
During all this time Solomon has been al
lowed to remain IN jail. not from choice but
from grim necessity. Several attempts
have been made to bring the matter 10
some head, but for some reason nothing
has been accomplished
Yes .erday Mr.. Appel presented his case
to Judge Smith, who after hearing the at
torney's story, issued an order directing

rassments. For instance, as minor one,

is an unlicensed and illegal saloon under

article Is polite and is the best presentation
of the case that can be made When such
an accomplished lawyer fails to meet the
issues raised or n any way to leave the
situation on his own line Of pleading, such
as to enable this home to avoid endless cost
and law suits, or, IN fact, to continue under
its military and judicial system at all, We
can see how weak his case is.
The effect Of enforcing the just provisions
of the constitution will not inure to the
benefit or harm Of partisan interests n
this state. One party has as much to gain
or lose as another. The people and the
peoples interests will be the sole gainers
by impartial justice. Institutions are now
voted by politicians all over the state. The
pubic institutions in this city and county
are voted by the politician rs. Ii San Fran
cisco the same abuse exists. A friend OF
mine visited the San Francisco almshouse
on election day. He saw procession OF
hacks there. and, supposing that 1t was
funeral, inquired with proper melancholy
whose funeral 1t was. The amused at
tendants informed him that it was the
Democratic city boss who was taking all
the inmates to vote for his political tools.
1t was the funeral Of free and responsible
self-government.
About 1900 votes were said to be involved.
Under this practice men were located in the
almshouse and others kept there for polih-
cal reasons altogether foreign to the OBJ
jects for which the people made their sac
r.fices to support this institution. At the
same time the deserving poor. for whom 1t
was maintained, were kept out from lack
of room.
That almshouse was demoral:zed and in
jured by politics, Just as the Soldiers Home
at Santa Monica is demoral!zed and injured
by politics. Who can tell which ba I'd Of par
tisan highbinders will first seek military aid
IN elections? Which reckless band Of boo
dlers Will first enda niger or destroy free in

WRIT DENIED
Bradley Seeks to Secure Release
Through Habeas Corpus

In the United States circuit court Judge
Wellborn yesterday denied a motion for
writ of habeas corpus filed by John D.
Pope, attorney for Albert G. Bradley, the
veteran who shot Governor Smith of the
Soldiers home. The petitioner alleges that
the sole ground of his Imprisonment Is a
commitment issued by justice of the
peace of Santa Monica township, charg-
ing him with assault with intent to muir
der A. j. Smith and that the offense was
committed on land belonging to the United
States, which is not an offense against the
state of California. The courts of Cali
fornia have no jurisdiction to cause the
arresa of any person for an offense COM
mitted at that place.
Judge Wellborns opinion says essential
ly that the state court must decide whether
or not it has jurisdiction and until it is
decided 1t would be premature for the Fed
eral court to step in and take away its au-
thority The last clause of his opinion Is
as follows:
Assuming, without, however. deciding
that the allegations of the petition in the
case at bar show that the Imprisonment Of
the petitioner Is without due process of
law and violatives Of the Federal constitu
tion, they do not suggest any reason why
the state court of original jurisdiction may
not without interference upon the part of
the courts Of the United States pass upon
the question which is raised as to the lack
OF jurisdiction in the state government
over the land or place in question,
