HOT ON TRAIL OF
OIL TRUST FORCES
GOVERNMENT INVESTIGATING
LOCAL AFFAIR
AngeIenos Who Hitherto Feared to
Make Known Evidence In Their
Possession Now Free to Tell
What They Know

Quietly and without ostentation the
government is pushing it's investiga-
ton of the conditions of the oil in
dustry in Los Angeles and surrounding
fields.
Commissioner Garfield was in Los
Angeles a month ago and, following
his departure, his assistants, Messrs.
Conant and Earl of Washington, D.
c., took up the work and have since
been actively engaged in collecting evil
dence likely to give an exposition of
the true conditions.
Their work will not be completed for
several weeks yet, after which the
evidence they have collected will be
placed before the proper authorities
in Washington.
All their findings are held in con-
fldence, and cognizant of this fact a
number of Angelenos who have hither-
to feared to make known to the gov
ernment any evidence they may pos
sess, have been free to tell what they
know.
The commissioners says they have
met with the most courteous treat
ment and nothing has been done to
block their Investigations.

SCHOOL ISSUE or s7so,ooO
HELD UP
INJUNCTION IS CONSIDERED
Contention Of IrresuIarlty Urged by
New York Firm Which May Re-
suit In Entire Transaction
Going Into Court
INJUNCTION IS CONSIDERED

Dillon g. Hubbard, the New York
firm of municipal bond autocrats, have
declined to certify to bonds to the ex-
tent of $730,000 issued by the Los An
geles school district.
City Attorney Mathews said yester-
day: TN their opinion they bring up
many fine points Of law which the
supreme court Of this state has not
az yet passed upon specifically.
zone instance Is as to the legality
Of the school district issuing bonds for
the building of schools for which the
city is taxed for the support. There
would be no difficulty here If 1t were
not for the fact that the school dis
trict includes a portion of the county
not in the city limits. Children in this
district would then be able to freely
attend the city schools at the expense
OF the citizens of the municipality.
"Just what action the board will take
or the subject has not as yet been de-
termined. An injunction suit, insti-
tuted merely for the purpose of OBJ
tanning an opinion, would have to go
through the lower courts. but man
damus could be considered at first by
the supreme court"

GERMAN WOMAN
TELLS OF ABUSES
SEEKS DIVORCE FROM HER
HUSBAND
MAKES CHARGES OF CRUELTY
Alleges He Would Come Home Drunk
and Pinch and Beat Her When
She demonstrated
With Him

well, you see, Judge It vas yust desc
way. Mein husband, he come home at
1 O'Clock in der night and he bring
home his drunk friends an dey all
raise a racket and keep me up and
vas very nervus. Dat man he often
pinch mein arms so dey iss black and
blue" testified Mrs. Mary Shoeckel be-
fore Judge Trask yesterday afternoon
in asking for divorce from her hus-
band. Adolph Shocked of Allegheny,
Pa
Mrs. Shoeckel has been a resident Of
Los Angeles for the past seven years
and lives on East Fifty-seventh street
with her daughter.
The plaintiff was the first witness
upon the stand and, although she spoke
with a slightly German accent, she was
able to make the court understand
clearly the nature of her grievance.
According to the story told by the
woman, her husband was a baker in
Allegheny and Pittsburg. He made
good wages, but spent the most of his
money in purchasing whisky for him
self and his friends. When he was IN
an intoxicated condition. which, ac-
cording to the allegation of Mrs.
Shoeckel, was most of the time, he be-
came abusive and beat his wife.
On several occasions he is alleged to
have seized his wife by the throat and
choaked her and, according to her
statements, he would come home at
midnight and bring a bunch of his in
toxicated friends with him. They would
proceed to enjoy themselves by smash
ing bric-a-brac and in other harmless
enjoyments. One favorite pastime of
Shoeckeps was the administration of
sundry pinches upon his wife's arms
and shoulders, she says.
For this conduct she claimed to have
had him arrested twice and on both oc-
casions she relented and secured his
release from the jails.
She finally decided to see II absence
would not make the heart grow fonder
and came to Los Angeles. She later
wrote to her husband, but received no
answer. and the only money sent from
the east was 81 which the father sent
as a remembrance to his. daughter.
Some technicality as to the printing
Of the default notice arose and, after
the taking of the testimony, the case
was submitted.

Chief of Police Instructed to Station
Additional Policemen at First

The board of police commissioners
yesterday discussed the numerous COM
plants made against the Mineral saloon
at First and Main streets, and directed
the chief of police to station sufficient
number of policemen at this corner to
keep the hoboes on the move and pre-
vent their interference with respectable
persons.
