DAUGHTER WINS
AGAINST MOTHER
PORTION OF ESTATE BASIS OF
SUIT
Mrs. Birdie Babeoek Alleges Mrs.
Elvira n. Andross Failed to
Make Accounting Of
Property

Following a hotly contested case be-
fore Judge Bordwell in department 0
of the superior court, between Mrs.
Birdie A. Babcock and her husband, and
Mrs Elvira II. Andross, the mother of
the plaintiff. q decision was handed
down by Judge Bordwell yesterday In
which he found for the daughter, allow
ing her $4,000.
Serious charges were brought against
the mother during the trial. Mrs. An
dross, who is a wealthy real estate
woman of Los Angeles, however. en-
tered q positive denial to the entire
allegation.
According to the statements of the
daughter, she recently came to Los
Angeles from her home in Iowa. The
couple went to live with the mother
and because the mother charged her
daughters husband with being shift
less n quarrel ensued
The daughter made inquiries. and
upon communicating with the county
clerk at San Bernardino she learned
that by the will of her father she had
been left $666.66.
Further investigation was made and

mother for $4,000 and interest
The allegations We're as follows: An
dross, the father, died in 1881 when his
daughter was 4 years of age He left q
small amount of property and a special
donation to his daughter of $666.66. The
mother filed petition at Riverside. then
in San Bernardino county and was'ap-
pointed guardian and executor.
Shortly after that time the mother
bought two pieces of property in River
side and improved them. They later
sold for $4,000, but the daughter never
received any of the money.
Further in the allegation the daugh-
ter asserted she had always been told
by her mother that all the fathers
property had been left to his wife.

RIPLEY FAVORS
SLOWER TRAINS
SANTA FE WOULD GIVE UP
SPEED WAR
Race Between Transeontinentsl Roads
for Mail Contract Grows lrk-
some to High Officials
of the Line

Local officials Of the Santa re say
that President Il. =. Ripley has become
convinced that the speed war which
he has been wagng with the Rock
Island with the hope of wrestling from
them the contract for carrying the
mail TO and from Southern California
Is a mistake, and that he called ~
meeting Of the Chicago executives of
the other roads a week ago with the
purpose in view of influencing them to
run their California trains on a slower
schedule. No agreement was reached,
say the officials.
The Santa Fe had the contract for
carrying this mail until last summer,
when the California limited train was
taken off the daily schedule. Then the
mail was given to the Rock Island.
Two months ago the Santa Fe began
to run the limited train again daily
and cut the time, hoping TO secure the
mail contracts, which have become
valuable on account of the amount
of mail that is received and sent by
the large number of people who have
come to California to spend the winter.
Since the middle of last month the
Santa Fe limited trains have arrived
in Los Angeles less than a half dozen
times on scheduled time say the Of
ficials, while the Golden State Limited
over the Rock Island has been late
but few times until the recent difficulty
caused by the snow.
The officials say that President Rip
ley has given up ali hope of regain-
ing the mail contracts and that he
desires that the trains should run on
a slower schedule.

THINKS HUSBAND
KILLED HIMSELF.
Ex-MARSHAL DISAPPEARS AND
WIFE FEARS WORST
Believing Himself TO BE Burden on
His Family J. T. MekeWen
Thought by Friends to Have
Committed Suicide

Convinced that her aged husband, J..
T. McKewen, ex-chief Of police of
Wethersford, Oklahoma, has committed
suicide or has been killed, Mrs Nc
Kewen called at the central police sta
tion early last evening and implored the
officers to assist her in her search for
her husband.
Dependency over his failing health.
the wife believes. is the motive that
might have led McKewen to take his
own life. Several times, she says, the
ex-city marshal had threatened to take
his life if he did not regain his health
and secure work.
Eight months ago Mr.. and Mrs. Nc
Kewen and their two daughters came to
Los Angeles from Oklahoma. They
lived economically on their meager in
come and the invalid father attempted
to secure employment, but failed. About
month ago he went to Fresno but
after a weeks stay his condition was
such that he was forced to return to
Los Angeles.
Tuesday McKewen left and went to
Pomona to look for work but returned
that evening. After visiting his apart
ments at the Veranda house, 243 South
Hill street, he left and did not return
home until late. He told his family
that he had little money left and was
in dire straits.
Filled with pity the wife arose early
in the morning, prepared breakfast and
determined to go herself and look for a
position. She left a breakfast for her
husband. A few minutes later McKew-
en- arose and left without eating.
Mrs. McKewen says that before her
husband left the house he fell sobbing
on the bed. Suddenly he arose and
pulling SIS gold piece from his pocket
gave it to the child, instructing her to
give it to her mother.
This is the last that has been heard of
McKewen. The wife discourages the
idea of violence from other sources than
suicide. She is convinced that her hus-
band believed himself burden on his
family and ended his life.
Those living in the Veranda house be-

THINK FlREMEN INNOCENT
Officers of Department Refuse to Be-
lleve That Men Robbed Rooms
of Burning Hotel

Officers of the fire and police de-
partments are inclined to think that
there is no truth in the reports that
fremen robbed the rooms of guests
during the Broadway Van Nuys hotel
fire Sunday morning. They say that
If the firemen ordered the hotel porter
and others from the rooms they were
only doing their duty to the owners
of the property in keeping out anyone
who might wish to steal valuables.
officers of the fire department say
that they believe the members of the
department to be honest and that they
turned everything which they took
from the burning building over to the
proper authorities and that they were
right in rescuing any valuables which
they could without interfering with
their duty in fighting the fire.
