purpose. it is believed of seeing Trow-
bridge III. Ward, clerk of the supreme court
under whom his appointment was held.
Whether or not that interview occurred or
what was its nature remains undecided.
1t is supposed, though, that Mr.. Ward de-
sired to talk with his subordinate regard
ing the affairs of the local office, as Mr.
Ward intended to take the night train for
the north. In any event, Woodbury. is not
thought to have left the office after he en-
tered 1T in the evening, as he did not oc-
cupy his room at the Jonathan club and no.

weeks. The mob was composed largely of
women. Warning had been sent ahead, and

Harold Nelson, boy who lives at 1143

WANT A CHANGE
Current Police Business to Be Tried in
the Morning


A movement has been inaugurated looking
to change in the hour for holding the
current business in the police courts. At
present the disposition of the petty cases
each day is begun at 1:30 in the afternoon,
but this is neither convenient nor expedient
for the justices. 1t is proposed that the
cases which occur the previous day be tried
at $3.50 in the morning. AS the matter now
stands Justices Morrison and Owens can
Commence their continued cases in the
morning, but if they are not completed be-
fore noon postponement until o'clock or
later in the afternoon has to be taken, be-
cause the current business has to be taken
up at 1870 o'clock. This makes an awkward
and unnecessary break and necessitates
those in attendance waiting around for sew
eral hours more than should be necessary.
Whereas II the current business could be
finished in the morning the other cases could
be carried through without needless post
ponements.
The point urged against this change, how
ever, is that it would require the policemen
on the night watch getting up early and
causing them lack Of sleep. Chief Glass Is
not in favor of the change on this account.
On the other hand, those advocating the
change say the time of changing watches
on the police force could be adjusted to
suit the time of earlier trials.

Examining Dow

charge of grand larceny was begun before
Justice Morrison yesterday. Dow is ac-
cused of Robbing r. S. Dc-st, a young man
of San Diego. Dorst came here with $500.
en- route to Chicago, and met Dow, Sc he
claims. The pair were out for drunk,
and at the corner Of San Pedro and Second
streets Dow, according to Dorst, gave the
latter some drugged whisky, which effect
ually laid the San Diegan cut. Taking ad-
vantage of the latter's condition, Dow is
alleged to have robbed him of all his money.
Justice Morrison continued the hearing I'M
til tomorrow morning.

Elmer Burnett was before Justice Nor

the case was continued until the 25th. Bur-

1t appears that the woman is in the habit
of getting intoxicated. and the other night
she went home in that condition, and her
husband demonstrated with her. During
the talk he showed her away from him and
she fell down and struck her head-at least,
so the defendant claims.
