EXTREME CRUELTY
CHARGED BY WIFE
MRS. CAMERON ASSERTS HUS-
BAND CHOKED SON
Mothers Interference All That Saved
Life Of Boy Is Allegation
Made in Plea for
Divorce

"T was locked out of my home. I
stayed near the house until nearly
midnight and then 1 went to the side
door and looked through. My hus-
band was stealthily approaching the
bedside Of my son. He threw himself
upon the boy and choked him and then
l forced the lock in the front door and
joined in the struggle" was a portion
of the testimony given by Mrs. Mar
garet H. Cameron. yesterday in pc
titioning a divorce from William d.
Cameron in Judge Conrey's depart
ment of the superior court
The ground alleged was cruelty and
Mrs. Cameron recited many instances
when, as she alleged, her husband
cursed and struck her.
1--WE were married in Chicago in
1SS3," said Mrs. Cameron yesterday.
1--WE came to Los Angeles three years
ago and rented house on Los Angeles
street near Thirteenth. I never re-
ceived kind word from my husband.
He left the house with an oath in the
morning and began swearing the mo-
ment he entered the door at night.
ION the evening 1 left him, nearly
a year ago, 1 had been to the drug
store and had arrived home a short
time after my husband. He was in a
great rage and swore at me and called
Jealous Of our two boys and on that
occasion he told me to take my id
kids and get out of the house and stay
out.
Saw Husband Choke Son
"My oldest son, Harold, 81 years of
age, left the house and took me with
him, as he feared my husband might
injure me. We returned a short time
later, but my husband had locked UP
the house and was sitting on the from
porch. He laughed at our efforts to
get in. We went away and returned
at midnight My younger son had
retired and after repeated efforts to
get in, 1 went to the side door. As
l glanced through the glass 1 saw
my husband drop on the bed beside
my son and start to choke the lad
I ran around to the front door and
forced an entrance and dragged my
husband away. locked myself in my
room and stayed there that night and
left him the next day.
"At the advice of my attorney 1 re-
turned to him, but L had not beer
with him more than three days when
he swore at me and the trouble Se-
gan all over.
HE once called my father a bad
name and when I demonstrated he
struck me in the face and cut my
lip"
Mrs Cameron's attorney then took
the stand and testified that he haC
talked with Cameron when a suit fol
maintenance had been threatened. He
asserted that Cameron had declared
he would never live with his wife il
he could help it and that he intended
to make life a hell on earth for hel
if she returned to him.
The divorce was granted.

INJURED WOMAN MAY RECOVER
Mrs. Thomas LangheIm, Because of
Whose Accident Lynchng Was
Threatened, Is Improving

Mrs. Thomas Langhelm, who was
severely injured by being thrown from
car at the corner of Washington and
Hoover streets Tuesday evening, is re-
covering from her injury and is pro-
nounced out of serious danger. 1t was
found on eXamina ton that her injuries
consisted of a bad bruise on the left
elbow and concussion of the brain.
She became conscious for time yes
terday and was resting so we'll that it
is believed she will recover. Mrs.
Langhelm, who lives at 1861 Darien
place, stepped from the car to the
ground. Her arm was filled with pack
ages and she grasped the rear rail of
the car in alighting instead of the front
rail, so that she was thrown violently
to the ground. w. S. Reuss of the
Motor Car company was passing in an
auto at the time, and some bystanders,
under the impression that he had run
over the woman, threatened to lynch
him. but when the situation was made
clear Reuss took the woman to her
home in his auto.

SHOWER BALLOTS
ON FAVORITES
THOUSANDS NOW COMING INTO
CONTEST
Popular SaIesIadIes Backed by strenu-
Gus Supporters and Every Cam
dldate Has Many Enthusl-
astIc Boomers

Hundreds of votes were cast yes
terday in The Herald's salesladies
contest. 1t was the banner record of
a days polling up to date. This week
the extra ballot for 1000 votes is be-
ing issued and a number of candidates
have taken advantage of 1t and have
secured five new three months sub
scriptions, which entities them to the
coupon. The contest is fully under
way now, but not enough time has
elapsed for any one candidate to take
a very great lead. This may not occur
at ALL but even If one aspirant does
get a few thousand in the lead it
must not be taken for granted the race
is won. There are reserves to be fig
ured on and perhaps the ladies VINO
are apparently reposing in quiet near
the bottom of the list will be the ones
to creep up unawares and carry off
the prizes. Such things have been done
and many a race has been lost by
overconfidence. Don't let rumors In
fiuence you one way or the other.
1t is often the case that a candidate
or her friends will hear that such or
such one hase secured a few five or
ten years subscription. These rumors
are usually false, as the secrets of the
cffice are not aired to inquirers, and the
reports are therefore started in hopes
that the other ladies will become dis
heartened and stop their efforts-such
rumors should only be the goad to
greater things. Every mail brings in
a large number of votes and there is a
steady stream of voters who go in and
out casting ballots for their favorites
in the race. The contest is certainly
gaining ground day by day and no one
can anticipate what height this good
natured tug-of-war will attain. Certain
it is that a large per cent of the peo-
pie of Los Angeles are directly inter-
ested in the outcome of the contest, as
deeply as the candidates and their
friends are today.
Not a day goes by but what some
one enlarges her total by several
thousand, and yesterday a large num-
Der of candidates fell in line and polled
a thousand or more-Miss Hagan Of
the New York Suit House polled the
largest number, her total 1915; Miss
Dewey of the Fifth Street Store the
next largest number, placing her name
third on the list, displacing Miss
Catherine Backs of N. B. Blackstone
& Co.; Miss Mable Gordon takes fourth
place on the list, while Miss Gugen-
helm assumes fifth position in the
race.

ATTEMPT TO END BAKER CASE
Beneficiaries of Estate Enter Contest
to Settlement and Petition Will
Be Heard

A petition of final settlement of this
estate of Sarah E. Baker was filed yes
terday by ]. F. Prush, a Los Angeles
contractor, before Judge Conrey in de-
partment five of the superior court but
before the petition could be passed on
attorneys representing Oscar and Roy
Radford, beneficiaries of the estate, en-
tered a contest to the settlement of the
accounting offered by Prush and the
petition was taken up for trial.
The Baker estate has been one of the
most unfortunate in the history of
western litigation and before the final
settlement is made the heirs may be in
debt to attorneys, whereas they should
have received about $4,000
Mrs. Baker died in Los Angeles
August "a, 1902. She had amassed some
money through careful handling of her
meager income and the entire estate
amounted to a trifle over $4,000
An administrator was appointed to
handle the estate. Soon after the estate
was taken in charge by him, 1t is al
legged by the heirs that an unfortunate
Investment or something of that nature
was made and big portion of the es-
tate went with it.
About that time guardians were
changed and j. F. Prush was ap
pointed. 1t is also alleged in the action
brought by the heirs that Prush was
negligent in not demanding a sum of
$40, which it is alleged belonged to the
estate, from the former guardian.
A number of minor objections were
made to certain articles of the state
ment of settlement and the entire day
was taken up yesterday by attorneys in
the case in presenting their demands.
The Baker case has been in court
nearly a score of times during the past
three years, and attorneys are making
every effort to close up the case during
it's present hearing in order that some
of the estate may be saved for the
heirs.
