of the child is cripple. On account of
her physical deformity the doctors at the

This was about a year ago. The nurses
became greatly attached to the baby. and

to the writ Miss Kane, acting head nurse

the child in her arms.
After listening to the statement of Mrs.
Kelly Judge Trout ordered the child

incentive which prompted Sutro to file
the suit to take the property from her
hands Mrs. Sutro alleges that on May IL

of his fists upon her body. Many times
prior to the date mentioned Mrs. Sutro
says her husband assaulted her in a cruel
and brutal manner. Not content with

RECOGNIZED HIS CLOTHES.
A Bold Thief Arrested Through the
Man he Robbed.

George Calvin, young man who Is
well known to the police, was arrested
last night and charged with burglary.
About a week ago Calvin entered room
in private lodging house at 425 O'Far-
rell street and stole a suit of clothes, q
rifle and a pair of shoes belonging to j.
Shank. He took off his old shoes and re-
placed them with the ones he found in
the room. Last evening Shank saw Gal
vim walking along Market street, and rec
ogniZing the suit he wore as the one that
had been stolen from him, he summoned
Sergeant German, who placed the suspect
under arrest. AT the City Prison he was
positively identified by two women who
met him as he was leaving the house, af-
ter having robbed Shank's room.
Detectives Gibson and Egan are well &C
qua1nted with the prisoner. About month
ago they arrested him and another man
named Haney for burglary committed in
the crime, but Calvin succeeded in having
the charge against him dismissed.

PERSECUTION
ALLEGED BY
MRS. SUTRO
Reason for the Filing
of a Suit.
HER HUSBANDS CRUEL ACT
BEAT HER AND NOW WOULD
LEAVE HER PENNILEsS.
His Action to Compel the Foreclosure
of a Mortgage the elimination
of Much Unwarranted
Abuse.

If the allegations of Mrs. Henrietta l..
B. Sutro are true the action on the part
of her husband, Edgar E. Sutro, who
lately filed suit to compel the foreclosure
of a mortgage on property held In trust,
of which his wife is the beneficiary, is
without precedent in the legal annals
of this city, as 1t shows husband en-
deavoring to deprive his wife OF means
of livelihood. Mrs Sutro contends that
the suit. filed by her husband. in which
she is joined as defendant with William
Crane Spencer, is simply the elimination
of abuse and persecution she has been
forced to endure for a number of years
The case was partly heard before Judge
Hebbard yesterday, and at the present
stage of the proceedings Mrs. Sutro has
carried her points. AS before stated Su-
tro seeks to compel the enforcement of
a mortgage for 1851 80, which, it is al
legged, he executed to Defendant Spencer
on June 8, 1896 The plaintiff states that
his father, Adolph Sutro, decided some
valuable property to trustees for the
benefit of his wife and children. Edgar
Sutro, as one of the beneficiaries, mort
gagged his share of the property, held in
trust. to Spencer. Subsequently the
plaintiff decided his reversionary rights
in the trust property to his wife for her
benefit and their minor son, A. G. Sutro.
Mrs. Sutro now refuses to recognize the
validity of the mortgage, and Spencer
declines to press his claim for payment.
Sutre prays the court to declare the
mortgage valid and to compel his wife to
recognize it. He AYERS that the interest
is accommodating at the rate of s per cent
per year, compounded monthly, and that
in the event the debt is not liquidated 1t
will soon consume the entire property.
In conclusion he asks that a receiver be
appointed to care for the property dur
ing the litigation and for g. decree de-
claring the mortgage valid and proyid-
ing for its foreclosure.
Subsequent to the filing of the suit an
order to show cause why a receiver
should not be appointed was served upon
the defendants. Yesterday proceedings
in court were inaugurated. A brief hear
ing resulted IN the court dissolving the
motion to show cause and denied the mo-
ton to appoint receiver. A demurrer
to the complaint was then filed by Mrs.
Sutro's attorney, and later petition for
alimony was presented. The application
for alimony. which is also included in

It is a little over a week since the
Bulletin, with flaring headlines and
display type, printed as a charge OF
betrayal a letter sent by John T. Doyle
TO the directors of the Valley Road. Mr..
Doyle had been an ardent supporter
and stakeholder of the road, and when
the proposition to form a combination
to complete transcontinental connec-
lions was preached he embodied his
ideas of the dangers to be avoided in
such a course in the letter the Bulletin
took such pleasure in distorting.
1t was made to appear that Doyle
feared a betrayal of the stockholders.
8 charge none fastened to deny more
than he and that the idea was to turn
the stock Of the Valley Road over to
the Santa Fe without any guarantee
that it would continue to be used in
the cause which called the road into ex-
istence-an eternal war against excess
sive rates of transportation.
1t was the natural course of the Bull
letin to heap vilifcation and abuse
upon the road, but it was somewhat
unexpected when Mayor Phelan took
up the bludgeon the Bulletin had re-
gretfulIy laid down and proceeded to
apply it to the peoples road and it's
managers with all the vigor and much
of the venom Of his constituencies
predecessor.
To argue with the Bulletin were use
less, and the directors knew it, but
with Mr.. Phelan a plain statement of
the case might do some good if he could
only be persuaded to heft it, so a meet
ing of the trustees of the stockholders
was called yesterday to consider the
matter, and Mr.. Phelan was present.
The whole plan was then discussed.
AS soon as cars started over the Val
ley Road rates began to go down and

CHIEF LEES WAS NOT
M'VEY'S BACKER
He WILL NOT STAND FOR HOS
MER'S FAILURE.
The Chiefs Advice Was Against the
Delaware Mans Petition for a
Writ of Habeas Corpus.

Chief of Police Lees denied yesterday
that he was in any wise connected with
the abortive attempt of Detective Nc
Vey and Attorney John Hosmer, formerly
of this city latterly of Delaware, to get
custody of Mrs. Cordelia Botkin through
q writ of habeas corpus from the Su-
preme Court. In fact the Chief states
that when Hosmer approached him with
the scheme he advised against it, and
told Hosmer that while the present petit
ton of the defense was pending the Su-
preme Court could not legally consider
another.
II don't know whether Mcvey got Hos
mer to go down there or not" said the
Chief yesterday, but it is my impress
sion that Hosmer made the application
on his own hook. He might have been
following the suggestion that Governor
Budd made when he granted US that war;
rant. Budd said that he would issue his
warrant, but he wanted the Supreme
Court to pass upon the case before it was
used, and we agreed to get the courts

Knight, however, did not stick to his
Court, because he found out that we
would both have the right of appeal

the Superior Court instead; and I

Supreme Court in Los Angeles. But it

To do this it was decided to reach down

ing in return a guarantee that within
three months if the combination had
proved successful the shares they
turned in at $40 should be paid for at
500. All or nearly all complied with
this preliminary step at once. In the
meanwhile capitalists had taken hold Of
the matter and surveyors were already
in the field laying out the extension on
to Los Angeles.
1t was big undertaking and an i'm
portant one, and for that reason Mr..
Doyle addressed the directors Offering
such advice as he thought the occasion
demanded.
When the meeting was called to order
yesterday Mr.. Phelan submitted a num-
Der of questions which he had carefully
prepared, dealing with every phase of
the transfer, and these were taken up
and discussed and answered to the sat
isfaction of all, including Mr.. Phelan
himself. The result of the session was
the submission of a resolution of conf
dence in the directors and indorsiug the
plan which they are so ably carrying
out. This resolution was seconded by
Mr.. Phelan- 1t is quoted above.

Long, Secretary S. E. Watson and
Treasurer W. H. Roussell, and, thanks

ternoon's work was accomplished with

The afternoon programme was as
interesting to the man who does not
understand the science of silos or ball
anced rations or the running Of a sep
arator as to the man who does. 1t
consisted solely of the reading of q
number of interesting papers prepared
by men Of the highest attachments in
the art of dairying, and based upon the
practical and costly experience of years
in the business.
One Of the first and most note
worthy papers read during yesterdays
session was that of L. Y. Chiashi, a
dairyman of Toxic, Japan, and
graduate of the dairy school Of Wis
consin University. In his paper Mr..
Chiashi emphasized the Importance of
adhering closely to the declared OBJ
1ect of the Dairy Association-the per-
fecting of the facilities for the making
of dairy products in California and the
fostering of an export trade.
In this connection he said:'

Treasurer w. H. Roussell read for
G. H. Sessions of Los Angeles a we'll
written paper on Alfalfa as a Dairy
Crop" in which, in reference to the
advisability of foods balanced with
the object Of getting the largest
amount Of protein at the minimum of
expense, Mr.. Sessions said:
very good combination be made by
feeding alfalfa with the grain hays, green
or dry corn fodder. corn ensilage. beets and
pumpkins, and without buying grain,
At present feeding 90 pounds al
falfa hay, pounds oat hay and 80 pounds
green corn fodder with good results. This
makes ratio Of 1:4.6 This gives us an
excess Of protein, but as il is produced with
cheap feeds 1t may be cheaper than TO try
to balance II with more concentrated food,
such cornmeal or barley.
Milk produced by alfalfa hay is of the
best quality, being well up in solids and
butter fats. Green alfalfa, either pastured
or fed in an incurred state. while making a
good milk, gives it an Objectionable flavor
which most people dislike.
While agreeing with Mr.. Sessions
that green alfalfa hay impaired an
undesirable taste and odor to milk,
and Jersey Farm Dairy said he had
found 1t possible to eradicate this
drawback by a simple system of
aeration.
