OBJECTED TO PUNISHMENT
Mrs. Ella Maeoon Gets "After Break
fast" Divorce

Mrs. Ella G. Magoon rushed into
Judge Yorks "after breakfast" divorce
court yesterday and gave a few SAM
pies of her husbands alleged cruelty.
She said her spouse growled around
the house greater portion of the
time, and when she attempted to visit
some friends that he might be alone in
his misery he became indignant and
proceeded to engage her in fistic COM
bat.
In the absorption of punishment,
however, Mrs. Magoon proved herself
to be regular glutton, and to use a
term common in the vocabulary of
pugdom, she generally "winded" her
spouse.
Judge York did not approve of Ma
goon's love taps and the divorce was
granted exactly six minutes after Ma
goon had put away his breakfast.

PLEADS GUILTY
TO SAVE SON
LONG BEACH CONTRACTOR TO
BE SENTENCED
Youth Escapes Punlshment--The
Mother, Much Affected, Weeps
In the Court
Room

AS means of self-protection, and
also for the sake Of his stepson, Roy
Spencer, whose trial began yesterday
In the superior court. c. N. Schmidt.
the Long Beach contractor who bur-
glarized a number of Long Beach
homes, mainly for the pleasure which
it afforded him, yesterday pleaded guilty
to burglary in the first degree
At the request of Schmidt's attorney,
e. l.. Hutchison, Judge Smith deferred
sentence for a period of two weeks in
order to allow the self-confessed bur-
glar to settle his estate.
The case against his stepson, Roy
Spencer, which went to trial in Judge
Smiths court Thursday was dismissed
on motion of Deputy District Attorney
Donnell.
The defendants wife was apparently
much affected when the charge against
her son was dismissed, and, unable to
restrain her emotions, she wept bitterly.
The charge on which Schmidt was to
have been tried was in connection with
the robbery of the Smith house on De-
cember 6.
Smith is a motorman employed by
the Pacific Electric Railway company.
Several days prior to his marriage he
purchased new furniture for his home.
Schmidt was charged with having re-
moved the entire contents of the house,
with the single exception of the piano,
which appears to have been far too
bulky for him to handle.
The motorman was dumfounded
when he entered his new home, which
he had furnished for the bride elect,
and found it denuded of its furnish
ings.
It is said that Mrs. Schmidt objected
to her husbands schemes, while his
stepson Roy, aged 1S years, was forcc1
to participate against his will.
When these facts were brought to
the attention of the district attorney,
Mrs. Schmidt and her youngest son
were released from custody, and the
law sought to be avenged by the trial
of Schmidt and his Oldest stepson.
The action taken by Schmidt yester-
DAY, however, resulted in the acquittal
of Roy Spencer, Schmidt's 19-year- old
stepson, and the case will be finally
disposed of two weeks hence, when
Judge Smith passes sentence upon the
self-confessed burglar

HUSBAND FEARS
WEIRD SPIRITS
SAYS THAT WIFE WHISPERED
AWFUL MESSAGES
Plaintiff Bases Action for Divorce on
ALLEGED Fondness Of His Wife
for Studying the
Occult

After thirty years of married life
spirits and weird creatures Of his wife $
imagination served to destroy w. s.
Morse's happiness, and yesterday he
asked Judge York in the superior court
to erase his wifes name from the mat
rimonial register.
Mrs. Belle j. Morse, the defendant
communicated with the spirits, and
the messages alleged to have been re-
ceived from the invisible served to
make Morse's life one endless chain Of
misery.
Not content with whispering the hor-
rid messages into her husbands ear,
1t appears from the testimony given
by Morse that his spouse entertained
scores of spiritualists within the home.
Morse maintained his usual compos-
ure until Mrs. Morse undertook to
sweeten his coffee with her peculiar
brand of religion and then their domes-
tic troubles began to brew.
The day that Morse raped" the
mediums was fatal to his future hap
piness, for Mrs. Morse silently moved
the furniture from their Boyle Heights
horne and left note to her unsuspect-
ing spouse, which said:
my kingdom for a spirit"
Judge York commiserated with the
unhappy spouse and held that Mrs
Morse was in error when she attempted
to turn her home into boarding house
for the spirits, and consequently he
had but one thing to do, and that was
to grant the divorce.

WIFE FORGOT TO COME BACK
Life at Springs Better Than Existence
at Home

His spouse went to the hot springs
for her health, but when she got there
the climate was fair and she never
came back any more.
Such was the tale related by John A.
Cansdell yesterday in Judge Conrey's
department of the superior court, and
he asked the court to dissolve the al
lance between himself and Mrs. Lois
A. Cansdell.
He testified that he was married in
October, 1901, and after eight months
of matrimonial bliss his spouse de-
serted him.
Cansdell told the court that his
spouse went to Hot Springs, S. D.. and
soon after her arrival at the health re-
sort she telegraphed her husband a
long farewell
The divorce was promptly granted.

Communication.

= The rate of taxation for the Union
High School district is At cents on
the hundred dollars on all property
in said high school district. AS the
business of the high school is now
conducted, it makes the residents
of the union high school district
unwilling philanthropists because the
trustees who are supposed to under
stand the law governing such high
schools have been mis-informed con-
derning their authority OF right to
charge tuition for all pupils who at
tend the high school from districts
not included within the boundaries
of the union high school district
As a result pupils are attending
from jackson, Sutter Greek, Amador
and elsewhere free of charge, in
creasing the expense OF maintaining
the school and contributing nothing
toward meeting that expense.
Any one who has read the constitu-
tion of theUnited States, which is the
fundamental law of the land, must
know that a law would be unconstitu-
tionaI if it did not provide for a just
distribution of the burden of taxa
tion for the maintainenee of an insti-
tuition whose benefits all alike are
permitted to Snara
Now the fact of the matter is. that
the trustees can and should charge all
Nonresident pupils tuition.
Some may ask how much would
such tuition fee amount to?
1t would amount to about three
fourths of the cost per pupil per
mouth that it costs to maintain the
high school,
1t is to be hoped that the trustees
will meet and fix the rate of tuition.
Surely no seIf-respectlng young per-
son would wish to remain an unweI-
come expense to the taxpayers of the
union high school district. From
such facts, as are now in my posses
sion it would seem that the tuition
fee would be about three dollars a
month. Mrs. r. e. Horton.
