After Raising Disturbance
With His Wife

with a revolver, Domenico Zurlo, S2t
Parker drive, defied the police and re-
sisted arrest last night after having
severely beaten his wife.
Neighbors say that Zurlo went home

quarreling with his wife. This dis
turbance continued for nearly an hour,
during which time numerous terrifying
shrieks were given by Mrs. Zurlo, then
pistol shot was fired and all was
quiet
M D. Wood, 221 Parker drive, heard
the shot and summoned the police.
Detectives Talamantes, Leon and Craig
were sent to the scene of the disturb
ance, but as they approached the
house Zurlo bolted the windows and
doors. When the officers demanded
admittance they received no response.
After repeated demands to open the
door Zurlo and his wife appeared Il t
the window and refused to obey the
order. Being assured by the woman
that she was uninjured the officers left
the house and made no further effort
to arrest Zurlo.

IS TO BE SENTENCED TODAY
Judge Smith Denies Application for
Examination as to Mental Con-
dition and Reproves Lawyer
for His Action

In a last effort to save Amos Her.
cules from serving a life sentence in
San Quentin prison Attorney ]. r.
Wilder yesterday swore out a second
application for an insanity inquiry, and
was again defeated.
His action was preceded by simila :
one several days ago. directly after
Hercules was found guilty of the mur
der of Timothy Segrue, but Judge Will
bur denied the application.
When Wilder appeared in Judgr
Smiths department of the superior
court yesterday afternoon and, with
Attorney Greed, told the story of his
clients insanity, Judge Smith became
indignant and would not permit the re
quest to be put on record.
"As I understand this you ask for a
warrant charging Amos Hercules with
insanity?" queried the judge, and
Wilder assented.
II happen to know, Mr.. Wilder, that
a motion of this kind was up before
Judge Wilbur yesterday. Judge Wilbur
was the proper judge before whom to
bring the case and he refused to grant
the warrant. Therefore, it is trifiins
with the time of the court to attempt
to secure any such action here.
II have watched this case for some
time and l can tell you that believe
Hercules is shamming and have be-
lieved so all along. / believed he was
shamming when be was sent to the
asylum. believed he was shammine
when he was at the asylum and 1 be-
lieve he is shamming now.
This court is all one and is simply
in divisions and for you to suppose that
the decision given yesterday will be re-
voked by another judge today is ridicu-
lous. You may enter an objection to
the denial of the filing of the applica-
ton but that is all you may file"
Hercules will be sentenced today and
taken north Monday.

PLUNGES INTO A DITCH

Santa Fe local train, No. Al, from San
Bernardino, loaded with passengers
jumped the track at Union street, Pas
adena, yesterday morning at 10 o'clock
injuring two men and piling both en-
gine and tender in the ditch.
When Engineer George Luce saw
that the train could not be brought to
a stop before the engine would reach
the ditch he threw over the reverse
lever and attempted to jump, but was
caught between the engine cab and the
tender in such way that his left foot
was crushed.
During the half hour that the men
worked before he could be removed
Luce coolly directed operations, but
tainted when the pressure on his foot
was removed. DIR. Rowland was sum-
moned and before the injured man was
entirely released found it necessary to
administer stimulants to prevent his
entire collapse.
Robert Bilderain, the fireman of the
illfated engine was the only other per-
son injured. AS he jumped from the
cab the engine struck telegraph pole.
Bilderain was thrown high in the
air and falling upon the firebox was
severely burned and bruised. He
pluckily aided in the work of releasing
Luce and refused to be taken to the
hospital.
AS soon as the accident was reporte !
at headquarters a special train of en-
gine and caboose, which was at Pasa-
dena,. was given the right of way and
brought Luce to Los Angeles for sur
gical treatment and it is thought that
his foot can be saved.
The wreck was caused by the fact
that one of the Santa Fe's great mo-
guls had preceded the wrecked train
over the track, which in this particular
place is in need of repair and spread
the rails so that when the smaller en-
gine struck rubbish left on the track by
street graders there was no chance for
it to regain the rails.

RELIEF FOR HOUSEHOLDER.
Secretary Wilson Predicts Lower
Retail Prices.

Washington, Sept. 30. - Secretary
Wilson of the department of agricul-
ture predicted lower retail prices DUR
ing the coming winter season for
meat, dairy products, poultry and 9TH
er rlecessaries Of life. He says the
relief for the householder will come
from the enormous yields of small
grain and corn in the great grain terri
tory of Illinois, Minnesota, the Da-
kotas, Iowa, Nebraska and Kansas.
Heavy crops" the secretary said
"haye resulted in the return of nor
NAL agricultural conditions In the
great producing states. The meat
producers have been losing money for
the past three years. Grain cost too
much. There was no profit in feeding,
strange as this may seem to people
who pay such prices as we do for our
meat But the heavy grass crop, In
addition to the heavy corn crop and
the heavy oats crop, will all combine
to bring about normal feeding condi-
tions. And this means q direct infiu.
ence on horses, beef. pork, dairy pro-
ducts and poultry"

road. The commission is Investigate
ing freight rates on live stock and live
stock products from Missouri river
points to Chicago. President Ripley
declared that the rate on dressed beef
between Kansas City and Chicago
should be $50 per cent higher than the
rate on live stock. He said 1t cost less
to carry live stock than packing house
products, and submitted statistics in
support of his contention.
"The packing house business is SO
highly organized and concentrated in
so few hands that this fact, together
with the keen competition between
the railroads, practically makes it
possible for them to dictate rates for
dressed beef and packing house pro.
ducts" said President Ripley. Freight
rates have always been based on the
value Of service furnished the shipper
rather than on the actual cost Of
transportation.
"My opinion, based on a study of the
subject and years of experience in the
railroad business" continued Presi.
dent Ripley,"i that the rate on live
stock should not be higher than the
rate on dressed beef and packing
house products. The only exception
to this is when conditions arise which
make 1t necessary for the roads to
change their rates on these commodi.
ties. Strictly speaking, and under
normal circumstances. the rate on
