MARRIAGE A FAILURE
WHEN FOOD GAVE OUT
Mrs. Ellen Baker Declares She Was
Almost Starved by Her
Husband

Her husbands failure to provide her
with even a widows mite" for the
purchase of food for herself and child,
induced Mrs. Ellen Baker to ask Judge
Allen in the superior court for di-
vorce from William L. Baker.
Mrs. Baker told the court that her
allowance for food was so small in the
aggregate that it would be hard to dis
Germ 1t even with the aid of micro
scope.
When at the summit of her culinary
prosperity Mrs. Baker told the court
that she was compelled to feed" on
bread and "spuds." while her husband
repaired to a nearby restaurant and
slipped his black coffee and devoured a
few accompanying cream puffs.
After dieting in this fashion for about
three years Mrs. Baker decided that
matrimony was a failure.
AS Baker has not been heard from,
Judge Allen granted the divorce.

GOVERNOR WARNED OF 0BJEC-
TI0NABLE MEASURE
Prominent Citizens of Los Angeles
Join With Mayor McAIeer In
Attempt to Defeat the
Hahn Law

Mayor McAleer has taken the initia-
tive in requesting Governor Pardee to
withhold his signature from Hahn's
senate bill number 233 which was
passed by the Legislature last Thursday
and is believed to have been presented
at the instigation of those owning the
greater part of the stock of the Los
Angeles Gas and Electric company and
other lighting plants in the northern
telegraphed the mayors of all the cities
in the state as follows:
please wire Governor Pardee inn
mediately to veto Hahn's lighting bill
number 23S 1t prevents municipal
ownership. Use all other influence,
Mayor McAleer."
The mayor believes that the chief ex-
ecutives of the other California cities
will join with him to fight the bill ano
that the influence brought to bear or
the governor will be so great that he
will withhold his signature from the
measure.
AS it stands the bill makes 1t impos-
sible for any city or town to build a
lighting plant of it's own where pri-
vate plant exists, and that if the city
desires to acquire a plant 1t must buy
the one already established, despite the
fact that it may be antiquated and ut
terly unfit for the purpose.
City Attorney Mathews considers
this a hold up measure and feels that

URGED
CLERK TO STEAL
P0ST0FFICE EMPL0YE IS De.
CLARED INSANE
M. o. Huber, Charged With Rfllng
Registered Letters, VIII Escape
Punlshment---To BE Sent to
Sanitsrium

In spite of the fact that eleven in
dictments, charging him with secret
ing and embezzling letters entrusted
to his care as a registry clerk in the
local postofflce have been found against
him by the federal grand jury, M. O.
Huber who was employed until recent
ly In the postoffice, will be discharged
today, on motion of United States At
torney Valentine, from further impris-
onment 1t having been shown by his
attorney that he is insane.
The case was called for trial yes
terday morning in the United States
court, and over fifty witnesses were
summoned to appear for and against
the young postal clerk.
The prosecution of the case was con-
Quoted by United States Attorney VAL
entine, while the interests of Huber
were looked after by Attorneys Adam
Thompson and Thomas L. Woolwine.
The defendants attorneys have been
engaged in preparing their defense for
several months. and the plea of in
sanity which they have prepared came
as surprise to those who have been
following the case.
Huber is veteran of the Spanish
American war, and served with dis
tinction on number of the great fight
ing machines of the navy. In the bat
tie of Santiago, the postal clerk COM
manded twelve pound gun and at
the conclusion of the sea fight with
Cevera's ships off Santiago, Captain
Clark of the Oregon commended him
for his bravery and craftsmanship.
Experts Say He Is Insane
Until late yesterday afternoon 1t was
apparent that the prosecution had es-
tablished a strong case against the
defendant. The defense called nearly
thirty witnesses on the question of
insanity, among them Drs. Wernicke
and Brainerd, and others who are re-
garded as authorities on this question.
1t was shown by the defense that
Huber labored under a delusion that
he was controlled by spirits, who ad-
vised him to embezzle the letters en-
trusted to his care.
He imagined that such spirits exist
ed as "war eagle" "black hawk"
white star" and Betsy" and in the
discharge of his duties at the post
office he followed the imaginary die
tates of the invisible creatures.
1t was agreed at the outset Of the
trial between the contending attorneys
that If the defendant was found to be
insane at time of commission of the
crime, that all the indictments against
him would be dismissed, and the action
which will probably be taken this
morning by the federal attorney will
be in conformity with the agreement.
1t is understood that Huber will be
sent to private sanitarium for the
purpose of receiving expert medical
attention.
Until his recent trouble Huber al
ways bore a good reputation and he
has in his possession letters of recon-
mendation from Admiral Barker, Cap
tain Oberle, Captain Clark and other
distinguished naval officers.

CROWD OF YOUTHFUL
RUFFIANS BEAT TOURIST
Visitor From New York IL Roughly
Handled on a Street
Corner

Corner
Knocked down and beaten by a gang
of hoodlums at Fifth and South Spring
street was the experience undergone
by Charles Bauer, visitor in Los An
geles from New York, while walking
at late hour through the downtown
district Thursday morning.
Bauer arrived in Los Angeles sew
eral days ago. Wednesday night in
his tour of sightseeing he passed the
corner Of Fifth and Spring streets
shortly after midnight where a crowd
of boys and young men were standing.
As Bauer passed one Of the boys caught
him and hurled him against another
boy. All of the gang then entered into
the sport, and Bauer was handled
roughly for few moments. Before
letting him go, the boys as a parting
remembrance knocked him down and
beat him in the face until he was
nearly unconscious.
Bauer escaped and later complained
to officer Matusklwiz, who returned
with him to the place of the assault.
The gang was still quarreling and
fighting, but fled upon the approach
Of the officer. After a lively chase M.
Page, newsboy, was arrested. He
was identified by Bauer as one of the
aggressors and sent to the police sta
tion and a charge of battery preferred
against him.
Several assaults upon respectable pc
destrians have been reported as the
work of the same gang, and officers
have been detailed to clear the neigh
borhood of the offenders.

Under False Pretenses

Face Charge of Obtaining Money
Under False Pretenses
Jack" Steele, city trustee of Santa
Monica, will be tried before Judge
Smith in the superior court on the
charge Of obtaining money under false
pretenses.
The charges against Steele result
from the Ocean Park-Santa Monica
poker scandal, wherein a number of
well-known citizens are involved.
Steele was recently given a prelim-
mary examination before Justice Young
in the township court, but the deci-
sion of the court was reserved until
the attorneys interested in the case
had been heard on a point raised by
Attorney LeCompte Davis.
Attorney Davis filed a plea in bar
to the prosecution, on the ground that
Steele had been forced to testify in the
same case, in accordance with section
334 of the criminal code Of procedure.
Justice Young heard the attorneys
at some length, but as cases of a, SINH
lar nature are now pending in the su-
perior court against others who par
ticipated in the famous poker game,
the court decided to pass the question
up to the superior court.
The court fixed the bail in the sum
of $1,000, and the defendant will be
arraigned in the superior court within
the next few days, at which time his
case will be set down for trial.
who also participated in the same
game, will be tried before Judge Smith

Columbia, December 5.-Col. +. ID.
Smith, general manager and financial
agent of the Southern Cotton Associa-
tion, has returned to the city from a sue
cessful trip through the cotton district
of Texas. He visited all the largest cot
ton counties and is very enthusiastic over
the result of the trip. He says that the
cotton crop in Texas is practically over.
Not only is most of the crop picked and
ginned, but the bulk is marketed. BE
says that the cotton crop this year was
very poor; in fact that many farmers be-
tween Monroe, La, and Vicksburg, Miss.
have left their farms to 90 into other
business, railrOading, etc., and that had
the crops in Georgia and South Carolina
been az short as that of Texas, only
eight million bales would have been
made this year. He drove through Ellis
county, Texas, the largest cotton county
in the world, and made a talk at Waxa.
hatchie, the county seat. The consensus
of opinion of every one at this meeting
is that sixtyiive thousand bales would
be the maximum for this year, while last
year l35, 900 bales were made.
In all, fourteen counties were visited,
where large and enthusiastic meetings
were held and strong organizations were
formed for next years work.
Col. Smith says that Is cents cotton is
not far away. He is receiving pledges
every day to the extent of $1,000 to 10000
Dales the day. Already about 100000
bales have been pledged for holding
The farmers and bankers were de-
lighted with the work of organization,
and are desirous of having Col. Smith
back in Texas at an early date.
Many voluntary contributions were
made to assist in the work of the associa-
tion. Large warehouse companies are
being formed for storing cotton in Texas
in the future.
