PIERCE DOES NOT RETRAcT
Justice Who Scored "choIos" Says He
Did Not Refer to Mexeans
ae a peonIe

In response to n letter received by
the district attorney Friday, In which
Governor Pardee asked that Justice
Pierce be called on to explain certain
statements made by him concerning
the character OF the class OF Mexican
known as "cholo," Justice Pierce yes
terday sent an answer TO the governor
in which he stated that no offense was
meant toward the Mexican people.
The incident threatened to cause in
ternatlonal trouble. Several weeks
ago. during the hearing OF case. cer-
tain facts were brought out before
Justice Pierce which put the "cholos"
i'm an exceedingly bad light.
In rendering his decision Justice
Pierce stated that the "choos" were a
disgrace to their own country and to
the United States. lie said their wo-
men were unchaste and their men in-
decent.
The remarks were heard by the
Mexican consul, who reported to his
government. The affair was reported
at Washington and word was sent to
Governor Pardee by Secretary of State
Eihu Root, asking for some explain
alton of the alleged insult to the Mex
lean people.
"There has been misunderstand-
ing" said Justice Pierce yesterday,
"but / will not retract or alter one
word have said.
81 made no remarks concerning the
Mexican race which ] consider for
the most part to be made up of good,
honest and intelligent men and women.
l said nothing about the Mexican wo-
men being unchaste.
'I based my remarks upon evidence
which l have listened to In scores of
cases tried in my court, where the
type of Mexican known as "cholo' is
concerned. In these cases 1t has been
proven that these men and women hi
bernate in the dirtiest kind of filthy
huts; that they sleep a dozen couples
In q room.
"I stated that the "cholo" was
disgrace to this country and to his
own, but I meant no insult to the
Mexican race and have so written the
governor"

LOVE FOR POODLE
Mrs. A. G. Perrott Sues for Divorce,
Alleging Spouse Cursed Her Be-
cause He Believed She Be-

Angered by the thought that his wife
had more love for her pet poodle than
for him, Is. g. Perrott, a carpenter, is
alleged to have called his spouse hard
names and yesterday through her at
torney Elmer Hardesty, Mrs. A. O..
Perrott brought suit for divorce against
her husband charging cruelty.
The couple were married at Perry.
Iowa, October 6. 1896. According to
the allegations OF Mrs. Perrott. her
husband became enraged at her one
week after the marriage and because
she contradicted him regarding some
trivial subject he called his little wife
a liar.
That, according to Mrs. Perrotts
statements, was only the beginning of
her marital troubles. In her complaint
she cites an instance happening about
six months after her marriage in which
she accuses her husband of threaten
ing her life because he thought she
bestowed more affection upon her
noodle than upon her husband.
Further in her petition for divorce
Mrs. Perrott says: MY husband be-

husband became enraged over the de-

so that I had him arrested.
'tHe then came to Los Angeles and
later sent for me and begged me to
come to him, promising to be good

lieved him and came, but his promises
only lasted n short time and then he
cursed me. He then developed the de-
sertion habit and left me on several
occasions once he was gone two
weeks and came back without eXpla-
nation. On his last journey he was
gone several weeks, during which time
he spent some time in Alhambra and
then went to Arizona"

BEAR STORIES PUBLISHED
Judge Curtis D. Wilbur's Tales Now
to Be Had in Book
Form

One of the prettiest books of the
holiday season is a publication issued
by the Kingsley, Moles & Collins print
ing company. The book contains a
series of bear stories written by Judge
Curtis d. Wilbur of department eight
of the superior court
The stories are decidedly original
and interesting for old as well as
young. The judge first told the stor-
les to his babies and then at the re-
quest of Mrs. l.. M. Vance, matron of
the Helpful Boarding hall for boys, he
had the edition printed for holiday
display.
The booklet would be a beautiful
present for any boy of girl. The pro-
ceeds from the sale of the books are
to go to the boys boarding school.
The book is cleverly illustrated
throughout and is bound in strong
brown mating paper.

Great Discussion Started
Special Cable to The Herald.

Special Cable to The Herald
LONDON, Dec. 16.-It makes a big
difference who says a thing. If in the
days when the duchess of Somerset
was plain Miss Susan Mackinnon she
had expressed the opinion that fairy
tales are undesirable reading for juve-
nile minds nobody would have at
tached any weight to her views on the
subject. But when recently. as "her
grace she walked into the parish
school at Maiden Bradley, in Wiltshire,
near her own residence, and, finding
one of the teachers was reading
Beauty and the Beast" to a class of
children, expressed the opinion that
they could get no good from such
stories, and that the biography of
julius Caesar would constitute Il far
better mental diet for them, all Eng
land heard of it next day.
1t started q pow WOW and several
titled DANES with literary regulations
have entered the lists on behalf of
cinderella" Jack and the Bean
Stalk "Puss in Boots" and similar
myths beloved of childhood. Conspicu-
Gus among them have been the duchess
of Buckingham and Chandos, the
duchess of Sutherland and the coun-
tess of Warwick. The latter maintains
that fairy tales, like the Sleeping
Beauty" are not nonsense, but convey
moral lessons of great value in train
ing youngsters to appreciate virtue and
heroism and to despice vice and viii
lainy. So far the fairies have had by
far the best of the battle, and there
seems to be no danger that the Brad
ley Maiden small fry will have Julius
Caesars sanguinary exploits crammed
down their throats in lieu of the
doughty deeds of "Jack the Giant
Killer" despite the fact that the
duchess of Somerset has laid her in
dictment of the fairies before the board
of managers.
Perhaps her heretcal views concern
ing fairies may be in a measure at
tributed to the fact that she has no
children of her own. She is every
where acknowledged to be a clever and
charming woman and her photograph
shows she was once a beauty.
