NEW BLEACH FOR WALNUTS
Experiments Have Developed a Solu-
ton Which Will Do the
Work

One of the problems confronting the
California grower of walnuts has been
to secure a good bleach, for the nuts
must be bleached to be marketable.
For a number of years walnuts were
bleached with sulphur. This process
was not entirely satisfactory, and later
process for bleaching with liquid
was brought into use, but owing to
some local complications this liquid
bleach that had been used for several
years has come into disfavor. For the
purpose of assisting the walnut grow
ers and furthering the interests of the
walnut industry extended experiments
have been made, and these have per-
fected a process for bleaching walnuts
which will give better results than
any process that has thus far been
brought out.
The following process infringes on
no ones rights and will produce a fin
ished product, which will prove highly
satisfactory and should be very eco
nomical.
The process consists in using solu-
ton of the soluble matter contained in
chlorinated lime (hypochlorite and
chloride calcium) and developing mas
cent chlorine therefrom by the use of
a combination of acids, which for con-
venience may be called nascent chlorine
To make a solution of hypochlorite
and chloride calcium mix thoroughly
twenty-five pounds of chlorinated lime
with fifty gallons of water; let it stand
over night to permit the settling of
the insoluble and inert lime. Either
pour or drain the practically clear
liquid from the settled lime. Strain
the liquid through burlap or muslin
to remove any floating particles.
Developing nascent chlorine, mix two
and half gallons of nascent chlorine
developer with forty-seven and half
gallons of water and then proceed by
either of the following methods:
Method A-Dip nuts in the solution
of hypochlorite and chloride calcium
for fifteen seconds; then remove and
at once dip in the solution of nascent
chlorine developer for fifteen seconds.
Remove and wash in clean water.
Method BIO a sufficient quantity
of hypochlorite and chloride calcium
add one-tifth as much of the solution
of nascent chlorine developer, and dip
nuts in this mixture for thirty seconds;
remove and wash in clean water.
Washing in either case may not be
necessary and can be left to the dis
erection Of the operator

SAYS INDEPENDENT WIFE
LEFT ON FOURTH OF JULY
MRS. BERTHA RICE ACCUSED OF
DISCRETION
Husband Ayers Spouse Forsook Her
Home Because He Reprimanded
Her for Actions at Dance-The
Divorce Is Granted

| Because his wife refused to obey his
instructions regarding whom she should
dance with at a social entertainment
and because she refused to live with
him after he had reprimanded her for
her disobedience, Noah o. Rice, Los
Angeles business man, yesterday
brought suit for divorce against Mrs
Bertha Rice before Judge Conrey in de-
partment of the superior court.
The couple were married in Los An
geles September 26, 1901. They lived
happily together, according to the state
ments of Rice, until the summer of 1904,
when the trouble occurred which parted
them.
On the eve of the Fourth of July a
lodge of which Rice was a member
gave a social entertainment and dance,
and Rice, accompanied by his wife, at
tended.
you shall not dance with such men
as | point out to you" said the careful
husband, and Immediately the woman
wanted to know why these exceptions
we're made. The answer was not salts
factory and Mrs. Rice decided she would
dance with whom she pleased, and
forthwith proceeded to do so.
The quarrel started on the way home,
and when they reached the house hos
| tlities were declared in earnest. War
of words was being Waged at lively
rate between husband and wife when
the day of independence was ushered in,
and before the first explosions, hailing
the days celebration, had occurred
Mrs. Noah Rice had decided that 1t was
time to secede.
Rice in the meantime had gone to
bed and when he awoke in the cold
gray dawn of the morning after he
found a declaration of independence
on the table and his wife and her be-
lOngings gone.
When Rice finished his story of the
desertion yesterday Judge Conrey
granted him an introductory decree of
divorce.

MRS, NELLIE DAVIS
AGAIN STRICKEN
ACCUSED WOMAN ILL IN THE
COURT ROOM
Trial Postponed Until Friday, October
1a, but Superstition Of Prisoner
Prevents Hearing on
That Date

The second attempt to examine Nellie
Davis, the woman who is accused OF
no less than fourteen burglaries In the
fashionable districts of this city, proved
futile yesterday.
A second time the woman has feigned
illness and a second time the court has
been obliged to delay her case. Whether
or not this woman is affected with at
tacks of heart failure just at the time
of her appearances in the court room
is not fully established as yet, but it is
evident that through her actions and
former conduct she will succeed In de-
ferring her examination.
The police surgeons still maintain
That she is not ill but that she is play
ing the same trick which she did in
San Francisco several months ago, and
succeeded in so appealing to the sym
pathies of the court and jury that she
was given a five months sentence in
stead of a much longer term.
Mystery following mystery are the
only developments in this case. Each
day that goes by something new has
been added to mystify those who are
trying to bring her to justice. When
arraigned yesterday before Judge Rose
she not only feigned illness, but did 1t
DO we'll that she appeared to be in ter
rible agony.
Judge Rose set the case for October
10, which falls on Friday Of this week.
No sooner had the judge named the day
than Mrs Davis put up an ardent APP
peal that 1t not fall on that date. She
seems to have a horror for the number
10. 1t will be remembered that at the
time of her arrest she wore thirteen
rings which she is accused of having
stolen. Not only does she fear the
figures 10, but has also an adherence
of Friday. The attorneys for Mrs.
Davis came to her rescue yesterday and
said that they could not be ready by
the 18th. In view of this fact the trial
was set for Thursday of next week.
The detectives now say that the
actions of Mrs. Davis yesterday
strongly bear out the statement that she
is of Gypsy origin.
Several friends of Mrs. Davis are
rallying to her cause. They are I'M
moved in their assertions that a strange
man is responsible for the woman's
actions, and they are endeavoring to
find this Individual.

SON WINS SUIT
FOR BIG ESTATE
DEFINING FAMILY TROUBLES
SETTLED BY COURT
Child of Woman by First Marriage
Cared for by stepfather, Secures
Portion of Property After
Long Contest

Through decision handed down yes
terday by Judge James in department
seven Of the superior court, the estate
Of the late Mrs. Mamie Deming, wife
of we'll known Los Angeles contrac-
tor, will be divided, and r. G. Gamble,
the woman's son by former marriage,
Will get portion of her property.
The Deming case has been in the
local courts more than year and
Deming has fought the attempts OF the
son to get a portion of the money
az every stage of the proceedings.
Several years ago, according to the
story told by n number of Deming' s
friends, Mrs. Deming came to Los An
seles from North Dakota. 1t was al
legged she left her husband and sons
III order to marry Deming, which she
did shortly after her arrival here.
In order to insure himself in his
contracting business, Deming put most
of his property in his wife's name, and
she went security for him. In this
way o. beautiful residence in the An
gelus Vista tract was given her and
deeds to flats, houses and other prop
erty in various parts of the city were
recorded under her name.
While Deming was amassing small
fortune, Gamble, the woman's son.
came to Los Angeles, and Deming
IOT giving It'll Tic iIlCll-
ton father would give to his son, it
IS said.
When Mrs. Deming died, Deming Sc
stirred the appointment of Gamble as
administrator, but when Deming asked
that all the property be turned over to
him, the administrator declined and the
suit resulted.
Judges Decision
Following is portion of the decision
given by Judge James:
1.-The plaintiff in this cause, as a con-
tractor, was frequently required to fur
nish securities for the faithful per-
Torrance of his contracts and he there
fore caused the apparent legal title of
the property to be placed in the name
Of his wife In order that she might
qualify upon his bonds as surety and
sc save him from the annoyance of
having to seek security among business
friends. Sine stated, according to the
evidence, that whenever he so desire
she would transfer the property back
to him. The Park villa tract property
therefore goes to the husband with
other property of community char
acter
with the Angelus Vista home, the
facts are different. The husband gave
that property to his wife. 1t is q
most common and commendable prac-
tice for husband to secure a home
to his wife in order that she may have
a place of habitation no matter how
unfortunate he may be In his
handling of personal or community
property.
at seems like the plaintiff has played
the part of the Good Samaritan toward
the boy. He now realizes that ingrati-
tude is by no means rare trait in
human character. In giving this de-
cision, ordering that the Angelus Vista
property was the sole property of the
woman 1 am taking the matter from
the standpoint of legal right.
From the standpoint of abstract
right and moral obligation the ar2u-
ment is. all against the lad"

DIFFICULT TO ENFORCE LAW
Captain AubIe Says Convictions for
Violating Anticipating ordi-
nance Are Few

On recommendation of the Municipal
league efforts will again be made to
enforce the anticipating ordinance. The
league addressed a communication to
the police commission yesterday, in
which it stated that in certain parts of
the business district, notably in the
neighborhood of First and Main streets
there were great pools of tobacco juice
that chewers of the weed had promis-
culously expectorated on the sidewalk.
and declared that it was G menace to
health and to the dresses of the men,
bers of the fair sex who had business
in the neighborhood.
Capt. Auble stated that previous eff
forts to enforce the ordinance had been
productive of good, but lately the courts
had refused to convict, holding that the
police must first notify the violators of
the ordinance not to do it again and if
the offense was repeated to arrest them.
Los Angeles herald. [microfilm reel] (Los Angeles [Calif.]) 1900-1911, 1905-10-11

The imperative demand of the legis-
lative committee of the city council to
know why the speed ordinances regu-
lating automobiles Is not enforced has
been productive of results and the
city council has been requested by the
police commission to purchase two
motorcycles for the benefit of the police
department.
When these motorcycles are secured
and put in commission, woe betide the
motorist who drives his machine faster
than Is reasonable and proper for pub
lie safety Commissioner Gates intro
duced the recommendation before the
board yesterday that the council be
instructed to purchase two of the best
motorcycles that money can buy and
have them equipped with the best in
struments for determining speed.
1.-TWO motorcycles! Two shotguns is
what we need" was the indignant ex-
plosion of Commissioner James.
Whether Mr.. James favored the swift
execution of the speed mad motorist
or would have the shotguns used to
puncture the tires was question of
which he left the commission in doubt.
1t was agreed by the commission that
two motorcycles we're not enough, but
that it would do for an experiment
and if the results proved satisfactory
more would be ordered.
I'VE formerly arrested and sometimes
secured convictions of those who ex-
ceeded the speed limit, but that was
when we had an automobile that was
furnished by the Southern California
Automobile association to be used for
that purpose. That automobile has
been taken away from us and since
then we have not been able to catch
the violators of the law.

HUSBAND CHARGES DEsERTIo'

Charging his wife with desertion,
George L. Gross brought suit for di-
vorce yesterday in Judge Trask's de-
partment of the superior court against
Emma H. Gross, but because of lack
of evidence the case was continued for
further hearing. The couple were mar
ried at San Bernardino in 1893 They
moved to Los Angeles several years
later, and he bought a ranch at Holly
wood. According to his assertions, his
wife refused to live on the ranch and
moved to Santa Monica. He was UNI
able to follow and finally lost trace of

up with an automobile, however fast
it Is being run, and If we cannot then
arrest the Violators we can at least
see the number Of the machines and
perhaps identify those who are in 1t
and have warrants issued for them.
But without the motorcycles we are
powerless to do anything"
1t was the opinion of the mayor that
the speed ordinance should be entirely
abolished and the question of whether
or not motor vehicles were being run
too fast left to the discretion of the
officers to make arrests, whenever they
believed such action was justified.
1t was pointed out however, by Com
n1issioners James and Gates, both OF
whom are practicing attorneys that
under such q condition there would be
no evidence to present to the courts
and secure conviction. Section four
of the speed ordinance PROVIDES that
at no time shall a motor vehicle be
run faster than is reasonable and
proper with regard to public safety.
The maximum limit at which automo-
hiles may be run in the business dis
trict is twelve miles an hour and no
more than four miles an hour while
crossing street intersections.
1.-THE entire solution of the problem
is to have a law passed by the United
States government, making 1t q crime
to construct automobiles which are
capable of a speed greater than ten or
twelve miles an hour" said Mayor
McAleer land the indications are that
such a law will soon be passed. The
manufacturers of motor Vehioles
Throughout the country recognize that
such q law is inevitable and are now
working on models of this type of
machine to be ready for the market
with slow machines when the law is
passed."
