The Empress Charlotte. who lost her rea-

1866 to try to enlist sympathy and support

daughter of Leopold of Belgium, and sis

Princess Stephanie, the royal houses of
Belgium and Austria were linked in a
tragedy, for the princess married Prince
Rudolf the only son Of the Emperor of
Austria. and his strange death was the
heaviest of all the blows the emperor-king
has had to bear. And when last September

De LA MONTANYA
IS. SUED AGAIN
His Mother Asks Court
to Compel Him to
Aid Children.

Sarah j. de la Montanya, as guardian
OF Lorraine S. and Jacques de la Mon
tanya, filed suit for $500 a month for
the care. education and support of her
wards against their father, James de la
Montanya, yesterday. She alleges that
De la Montanya for some time past has
failed and refuses to provide for the
maintenance of his children out of the
income of property he decided in 1897 to
D. S. Dorm, who was subsequently sue
ceeded by W. NJ. Madden, to be held in
and himself.
The suit is the outcome of an effort
made several weeks ago by De Ia ldon-
tanya to have the deed in trust set aside
on the ground that at the time it was
executed his wife, Lorraine, the mother
o. the children, was suing him for di-
vorce, and that he only made the deed
to provide for the children during the
pendency of the action. In the suit
brought b. De la Montanya to have the
trust deed declared null and void he
claims that he intended the trust to last
during the trial of the divorce suit.
In the complaint filed yesterday by
Sarah de la Montanya, grandmother of
the children, she charges that her son
willfully neglects to provide for his chill
dren as he stipulated in the deed. She
states that the trust property. yields her
son an income of $1,000 a month. and she
asks the court to compel him to pay her
$3.50 a month for the care, support and
education of each Of his children
w. NJ Madden, as trustee, is named as
co-defendant with De la Montanya.

terday morning in Judge Carroll Cooks
Court, Lorenzo D. Garwood was ordered
into the custody of the Sheriff to be con-
veyed to the County Jail and to be held
there without bail until he should make
answer.
The point at issue was evident and was
thoroughly regarded by Judge Cook in the
rendering of his decision. He stated that
the law of Illinois provided that a hus-
band is A competent witness for or
against his wife in cases where the liti-
cation concerns her separate property and
that the laws of California do not so hold.
Judge Cook therefore considered that the
case should be decided by the Supreme
Court and held Garwood for that decision.

Lorenzo b. Garwood who resides at 314
