keeping on the Scharff ranch in South
Pasadena. The ranch house was in
the center of dense grove and the
wife was frightened by noises at night
while her husband was away.
She testified that she spent about
thirteen hours day packing fruit be-
cause her husband, although wealthy,
refused to hire help. On one occasion
he is alleged to have attempted to pour
boiling water from teakettle down
his wife's neck because she used too
many matches.
When she did rot curry the horse
correctly or failed to have the harness
washed, she testified that he flew into
a rage, and when they had a small ar
gument over defective running gear
of the family carriage, he is alleged
to have lashed his wife across the
shoulders with buggy whip.
She testified that he threatened to
throw a lighted lamp at her, and on
another occasion, when she refused to
pack a poor grade of fruit in the bot
tom of some of the crates, he became
enraged and seized a loaf of bread
from the dinner table and hurled 1t
at her head.
The climax came when Scharff ac-
cording to the testimony, accused his
wife of using too much oil in the stove
and kicked the screen door from its
hinges. An employe at the Scharff
ranch testified that he spent consid-
erable time putting new hinges on the
doors, as Scharff took occasion to kick
the doors from their hinges about once
a week.
Mrs. Scharff asserted she became Ill
from the strain of domestic troubles
and her husband told her to have faith,
that she soon would be we'll. She says
she almost died during the faith process
and her family rescued her and sent
for a physician.
When this point in the evidence had
been reached, Judge Trask refused to
listen to any more and granted the
decree. The wife was given $4,000 by
her husband as settlement.

HUNTINGTON OWNS BUT -
ONE UNUSED FRANCHISE

With the completion of the Eleventh
street line and that ON Moneta avenue,
aggregating distance of four miles,
the Los Angeles railway will, with one
exception, have practically used up all
the franchises which 1t now owns and
the construction department will be
idle for the first time in four years
This exception is the franchise for
several miles of track along Stephen
son avenue, but. as the grade is yet to
be made, the company does not expect
to build for several years.
This places H. E. Huntington in a
position where he has no more streets
to conquer. The twenty -one-year fran
chise ordinance stands in the way and
until the master electric railway
builder sees his way crear to obtain
franchises Of a longer duration he will
spend his time in developing the ter
ritory tributary to the lines which he
already has in service.

BROKEN HEART
costs $4,000
SANTA MONICA GIRL SUES
FORMER ADMlRER
SAYS HIS LOVE HAS COOLED
Miss ELIZABETH serken Secures Judp-
ment Against Leonard Warns
lngton, but He Says He
Can't Pay

If Leonard Warrington has the
necessary funds his declaration OF love
to Miss Elizabeth serken OF Santa
Monica will cost him $4,000. In Judge
Trask's court yesterday Miss serken
was given judgment for that amount
because Warrington did not carry out
his avowed intention of marrying her.
she is only eighteen years old, not
withstanding her bitter experiences.
And the girl furthermore says she
had other chances-yes, lots OF them
but yielded to "a hankering" for him
who is now her opponent in the courts.
AS a proof of Warmingtons matri-
monial intentions the girl says he
bought small cottage and moved It to
a lot which adjoins her own home. Now
the sight of that cottage causes her
much mental anguish.
The courtship of the pair extended
over period of several months, the
girl says, and Warrington was appar-
emily very devoted.
1t appears from the testimony Of
Miss Serken, as she gave it hesita-
tingly yesterday, that her lover after
purchasing the cottage went to Mis-
souri, on a visit.
He returned in time, but alas for
the hopes of his fair lady love, he
told her he was already married.
AS for Warrington, he says he has
not funds from which to pay $4,000 for
a broken heart.

WEATHER EXPERT
MAKES APOLOGY
is SORRY HE DISAPPOINTED
POPULACE
SAYS TODAY MAY BE COOLER
IncorrigibiIity of Bean Elixir Pre-
vented Realization Of His Predic-
tion, Fog Not Being Dense
as Was Expected

When called upon for an apology yes
terday for failing to guess" just what
the thermometer intended doing for
the day, Doctor Fuller, who is "the
works" when Doctor Franklin is out Of
the weather factory, said that he
made good" as Los Angeles was
thirty-one degrees cooler than Yuma
and Phoenix, where the mercury siz-
zled along at 116 gait, while the
Angel City registered but So, which
tied the weeks record made Sunday.
The incorrigibility Of the fog is al
legged as the uncertain element which
prevented the realization of his dream
Of cooler day, the bean elixir not be-
ing so dense nor so prolonged as on
previous days and was quickly dis
sipated by the tropical sun.
Indications Wednesday were for a
heavy fog during the night and early
Thursday morning and. while it came
as predicted, 1t was not of sufficient
density to Withstand the melting pro-
cess of the sun for any great length
OF time. and consequently did not seri-
ously affect the temperature.
Doctor Fuller expressed his regrets
at the sad misbehavior OF the wea-
ther. and wishes to publicly acknowl-
edge his contrition for disappointing
the populace. adding that he will do
his best to refrigerate slightly tonight
as compensation for his failure Of
yesterday, although he will not prom
ise much change, as the indications last
night were about the same as on the
previous day. when he expected
Slightly cooler" weather and couldn't
get the thermometer to suit the pre-
diction. But, as he promises to do his
best it will be necessary for the ma
tives to watch and pray and be re-
signed to any fate.

FOUND DEAD IN
REAR Of SALOON
A. J. HARDING EXPIRES
SUDDENLY
HIS COMPANION Is ARRESTED
Complained of Feeling Tired and
Sat Down at Table, Where
He Died in a Few
HIS COMPANION IS ARRESTED

A. j. Harding of Long Beach was
found dead last night in the rear of the
Golden Eagle saloon, 1863 North Main
street, by the proprietor, William
Zeigler.
H. c. Galbraith is being held by the
which will be held at Pierce Brothers
undertaking establishment this morn
ing.
Harding was found sitting at table
with his head resting upon his arms.
Galbraith was with Harding most Of
the day and was arrested by detectives
soon after the body was found.
When first questioned by Detective
Mckenzie Galbraith said he knew
nothing about Harding as he had only
met him yesterday morning. On being
questioned further by the detective lie
admitted that he had known the dead
man for eighteen years and came from
Long Beach with him wednesday
night. He was arrested at once.
Zeigler says that Galbraith and
Harding came into the saloon about 8
O'Clock yesterday morning and both
were intoxicated. After taking several
soft drinks, Galbraith presented q
check for So. Zeigler says that Hard
ing was introduced to him about ten
days ago by mutual friend and be-
lieving the check was good, took five
silver dollars from the till and offered
it to him. AS he did so Harding gave
him a sign that he did not wish the
money given to him in the presence of
Galbraith. He took the money later,
when Galbraith was in the rear of the
saloon.
Zeigler says he saw Galbraith offer
Harding some tablets about 1O:3O
o'clock in the morning, but they were
refused. Shortly afterwards, Harding
asked If he might go in the rear room
and sit down. Galbraith followed
Harding into the room, taking a chair
by his side, but was ordered out by
zeigler. When Zeigler left his place Of
business at noon, Galbraith was walt
ing in the lobby Of the saloon.
On returning at o'clock last night
Zeigler saw Galbraith waiting in the
saloon and asked the bartender if
Harding was asleep in the rear room.
AS the bartender knew nothing Of him
Zeigler went into the storeroom and
found Harding apparently sleeping.
The coroner said he was of the opIn-
ion that Harding died at o'clock in
the afternoon. When searched $3.50
was found in his pockets. He wore a
Masonic button and was member of
the Modern Woodmen. He lived at 727
Atlantic avenue, Long Beach, and
leaves a family at that address. He
was SO years old and had been work.
ing in Long Beach as a plasterer for
sometime.
The coroner will hold an inquest this
morning to determine the cause Of
death.
