THIRD HUSBAND
PROVES FAILURE
WOMAN MARRIED THREE TIMES
GETS DIVORCE
Experiments In Matrlmony Were Not
Altogether Satisfactory to
Mrs. Josephine

Domestic infeicity pervades many
households, in larger or smaller guam
titles as the case may be. but a case
wherein the larger quantity figured
was heard before Judge Trask yester-
day when Mrs. Josephine A. Allan
asked the court to assist her in the
final disposition of her third husband.
According to the testimony intro
duced yesterday it appears that Mrs
Allan's first husband received a coat
of whitewash in a divorce court, the
second one passed away, while the
third, James J. Allan, yesterday met
the fate of husband No. L.
Mrs. Allan's chief complaint against
her third experiment with the affairs
of the heart was that her husband
threw her about the room at time
when she was nursing boil on her
ear.
The plaintiff told the court about a
property settlement, between her third
husband and herself, whereupon Judge
Trask became inquisitive
"Have you made any money out of
this marriage?" asked Judge Trask.
The witness greeted the question by
maintaining perfect silence, and it APP
peared that she was engaged in making
few mathematical deductions. Finally
Mrs. Allan made it appear to the court
that she had only succeeded in getting
away with the short end of the deal.
What do you want a divorce for
now-to get married again?" asked
the court.
Mrs. Allan squirmed about in the
great witness chair. 1t was a funny
question to ask a woman who had
won and lost three distinct husbands.
Finally Judge Trask said
"Take tits yours" and Mrs. Allan
smiled.

NOTED SINGER ABSENT
One Disappointment on Good Bill at
the Orpheum


the Orpheum
A large audience at the opening per-
formance of the weeks bill at the
Orpheum last night was doomed to dis
appointment as the distinguished bari
tone and singer at the royal courts of
Madrid and Lisbon, Dom Francisco de
Souza, Marquis de Borba, failed to ap-
pear.
The management of the theater an
nounced the deficiency in the program
in a speech as short as the singers
name was long, and moving pictures
were substituted. The marquis was
suffering from a cold.
Wynne Winslow, soprano with a
made up for the missing baritone and
put the audience in a good humor.
The new program presents a number
of novel and highly entertaining fea-
lures. Held over from last week are
the Mcmahon Mississippi midgets, nine
dancing sunfower and watermelon
girls. This act is backed by beautiful
scenery and in spite of its second week
appearance came in for a large share
of appreciation.
AS special feature of the program
A. F. Frankenstein, musical director,
has inaugurated charming little per-
formance entitled "An Afternoon at the
Races The act was heartily appre-
ciated by those who stayed in the
theater during the intermission and the
audience was carried from the down
town district to Ascot park and through
the excitement of close race.
Nat Haines and Will Vidocq in "Fibs
and Squibs" furnished a bewilderine
series of new jokes and novel express
sions, and william, j. Kurtis and his
performing dogs completed the new Sec
tion of the program. A number of good
features from last weeks program have
been retained.

Observe Good Actors Making lnef-
feetuaI Efforts to Find Lost
River" speclslties Be-
tween Acts

The sensational reigns rampant in the
Los Angeles theatrical world this week.
1t Is an Indication that there is no one
too good for melodrama when the
| Belasco company appears in Lost
River" Every person in whom there Is
the slightest trace of a sense of humor
cannot afford to miss this combination
of high class artists making themselves
entertaining in Joseph Arthur's pro-
duction. Such lncongruity created moro
mirth last evening than any society
circus ever invented.
Lost River" is an excellent melo-
drama. An audience at the other stock
| houses would take It seriously and be
absorbed and greatly edited. But a
Belasco audience unfortunately cannot
whistle on his fingers or hiss the villain,
and it is difficult for actors to take
themselves seriously when an audience
is considering their work as joke.
The play is filed with Lost River

In addition the players were by no
means sure of their lines last evening.
Joseph Galbraith had togo up the stage
to the door and in a stage whisper shout
at a mob in the wings to come on"
and pursue him. When it did come
Joseph posed, with an ak and Richard
Vivian killed thirteen men and wounded
several others.
There are several specialties intro
duced during the action of the drama.
Some of the sights are as follows:
See Thomas Oberle's whistling flute

See George Barnum as assistant viii
lain and orchestra leader!
Hear the village quartet!
See the revolving fence creating a
perfect illusion of Joseph Galbraith

WHISKY CAUSES TROUBLE
Woman Says Husband Was Too Fond
of Liquor


When her husband indulged freely in
strong drink, Mrs. Mary e. Swindell
admonished him, but when he resorted
to what she terms foxy methods" in
his, attempt to conceal the liquor from
her sight Mrs. Swindell asked Judge
York in the superior court to free her
by divorce.
According to the PLAINTIFFS story it
appears that Swndell was unable TO
quench his thirst, and in his eager
ness to have the stuff" about the
house he concealed numerous bottles
of whisky behind the pictures on the
walls, under carpets and behind the
various articles of furniture.
Then again Mrs. sWindell objected to
her husbands sleeping habit.
Judge York held that Swindelrs
whisky bottles interfered with the
progress of his wlfe's housework. and
the divorce was granted.

WANDERS INSANE
THROUGH CANYONS
SlXTEEN-YEAR-0LD LASS is
FOUND IN HILLS
Discovered Rambling About In the
WiIds and Taken to Receiving
Hospital, Where She Tells
Queer Story

Rambling around in canyon north
Of the city yesterday morning, her fine
clothing torn by the thorns and bushes
and a great piece of partly burned
brick olutched in her hand, Lena Levy,
16-year-old Jewish girl, was found
by campers and sent to the receiving
hospital
The child was suffering from insan-
ity, and her conversation about what
she was and what she expected to be
caused the officers at the station to
turn away in sorrow.
The girl is very pretty and her sweet
voice adds to the charm of her refined
manners and dainty garments.
She was noticed by a party in the
canyon early yesterday as she wan
dered about, and when they heard her
talking and laughing TO herself they
approached. She ran to them and said,
II have been out all night walking to
Frisco and am hungry"
The young girl was offered food but
would not eat, and the patrol wagon
was summoned. On the way to the
police station the girl kept up con-
tinuous flow of conversation.
"You are Chief whitman" said the
lass to Driver Johnson. She then
patted him on the back and smiled.
Tells Strange Story
"I heard some hard stories about you
In San Francisco, but I don't believe
them, and since l stood by you I want
you to stand by me. l don't know ex-
actly how old 1 am, but the doctor
who lives in the marble palace at
Akron, Ohio, says am 65. I am more
inclined to believe that 1 am about Sc
years old. 1 am made of brick. The
doctor told me so and that is why I
carry this brick. 1 have worked in a
tailor shop and last night walked to
San Francisco, and am very hungry,
but 1 must finish my composition be-
fore I eat anything" the poor child
continued.
At the police station the child faced
Desk Sergeant Mcclure and answered
that her name was Angelena Walken-
stein.
II thought you said before that your
name was Lena Levy" said an at
tendant.
THAT was what they called me at
the asylum" retorted the child, "but
when 1 was in heaven they called me
| Angelena Walkenstein and that is
what want to be called"
The girl spent the day in the rooms
of Matron Gilbert. Time after time
she became temporarily sane and at
tempted to tell her story, but each
time wandered off before necessary in
formation concerning her home could
be obtained.
Late yesterday afternoon the child
said she has relative on South Main
street, clothier named Wolff. Special
officers have been detailed on the case.
B. Wolff of South Main street told
the officers that he knew the child.
She was reared in an orphan asylum in
Cleveland and came to Los Angeles
some time ago. Since her arrival here
she had been working for a family on
Whittier street. but how long she had

Neither Mr.. Shonts nor Mr.. Stevens

both said they would prefer to wait
until their return before talking of
conditions down there. They told
something of the plans, however, and
the work they proposed to do at once
to assure the success of the canal

heard many complaints regarding con-

no attention to them.
There are men down there who
have just complaint, and that is that
they have nothing to do but work.
They have no amusements and no

LIBERALS ARE ANGRY;

London, July 22.-The government
was defeated in the house of commons
by majority of three; on the mo-

Irish land commission.
On the announcement of the vote
a scene of the greatest excitement
was produced by the Liberals and the
Irish members yelling 'Resign!"
The incident is considered hardly
of sufficient Importance to justify the
government in resigning, but when
asked by Sir Henry Campbell-Banner-
mon, the leader of the opposition,
what course he intended to pursue,
Premier Balfour declined to make a
statement
John Redmond leader of the Irish
party, said the premier had repeat
eddy declared that he would resign
if defeated, and if he disregarded this
vote of want of confidence he would
be acting against all precedents. Was
he going to swallow this humiliation
