JUDGE SCENTS
DIVORCE MILL
TWO CASES BLOCKED PENDING
INVESTIGATION
Plaintiffs Tell the Court That Adver-
tsement in an Afternoon Paper
Led Them to Believe Divorces
Were Easy to Secure

Does Los Angeles county harbor a
flourishing divorce mill?"
The actual evidence as proof of the
existence of such an institution has not
as yet materialized but the divorce
proceedings which were blocked" yes
terday by Judge Conrey in the superior
court brought to light the existence of
divorce bureau of considerable motor
iety.
David p. Ulrey mourned the loss of his
wife, who, he declared had been cruel
to him, while George b. Rice, in an
equally as mournful tone, told Judge
Conrey that his wife had threatened to
hurl a pickle dish at his head.
1t appears that the plaintiffs searched
the personal columns of an afternoon
newspaper and this is what they saw:
why live unhappily with your
spouse? Divorce courts open twelve
hours a day. Life is too short to worry
about your domestic affairs"
After reading such rare bit of news
it appears that Rice and Ulrey con-
cluded that the advertiser was right
and they called upon one Smith, who
held forth at 122 Third street.
The men told the court they poured
forth their troubles to Smith, who, it
is claimed, informed them that their
chances for divorce were uncommonly
bright.
In due course of time they were shut
fled about mysteriously until they
found themselves in law office.
Judge Conrey examined the plaintiffs
in relation to the mysterious combina-
ton at the conclusion of which the
cases were taken under advisement.

GOT DIVORCE, NOW SHE'S SORRY
Woman Asks Court to AnnuI Inter-
locutory Decree

Nearly twelvemonth has elapsed
since Mrs Leila Sayln said some harsh
things about her husband, DR.. Isaac
Saylin. and on the strength of which
she was granted an interlocutory decree
of divorce, but time has served to heal
Mrs Saylin's wounded heart. for yes
terday she pleaded with Judge York in
the superior court to draw his great pen
across the face of the document.
Mrs. Saylin says she was induced to
act in the first place under the duress
of disinterested parties, and their
names were brought to the attention of
the court.
On the other hand the persons who
were alleged to have influenced Mrs
Saylin say she has no foundation for
her assertion
Judge York gave the attorneys Cor
both sides time within which to file
briefs after which the court will de-
eide whether Mrs. Saylin can change
her mind on such an important sub
ject.

Extra Judae Called In

Owing to the extraordinary number OF
plaintiffs who invaded the divorce sane
tuary yesterday it was found necessary
to call Judge Curtis D. Wilbur into
the council of wounded heart strings.
No sooner had Judge Wilbur concluded
the trial of the last youthful offender
in the juvenile court than throng Of
unhappy wives and husbands rushed up
to the bench with their cries of dis
tress, each clamorng for recognition.
The first woman to gain the attention
of the court was Mrs. Lucy A. Pierce,
in Paris her husband in a reckless and
careless manner squandered her fortune
to the amount of over $4,000.

Freed From Wife by Woman

When Theron l.. Hurlburt encoun-
tered difficulties with his wife he i'm
mediately applied to a woman attorney
for judicial relief, ana yesterday Judge
Allen in the superior court granted him
a divorce from his wife, Mrs. Sadie l..
Hurlburt, on the customary statutory
grounds. According to Hurlburt's tale
of domestic woe it appears that his
wife attempted to turn the night into
day, all of which tended TO produce dis
cord in the family councils. Miss Eliza
beth Kenny, the only woman prac-
tioner at the local bar, successfully
opened Hurlburt's package Of troubles
to the court, and the usual interlocu-
tory decree was granted.

SMOKE ORDINANCE is FOUND
Document Drawn Up by City Attorney
Months Auo With Committee

The ordinance drawn up by the city
attorney some time ago which was in
tended to abate and control the smoke
nuisance has been discovered in the
legislative committee of the council and
prompt action on the subject is now
expected.
Months ago the courts Knocked out the
old ordinance and a new one was pre-
pared at the instigation of the health
department, but three months have
gone by without any action being taken
by the council, except to refer the ques-
tion to the committee.
DIR. Powers is especially anxious that
the ordinance be put into effect i'm
mediately, as many complaints are be-
ing received in regard to the smoke
nuisance.

Upon Which Is Based Burg
larry Charges

The first proceedings in the prelim-
mary examination of w. N. Meloling
and his wife, charged with burglary.
were instituted yesterday afternoon be-
fore Justice Austin. Attorney Earl
Rogers and Hubert r. BORROW ap-
peared for the defendants.
A large crowd Of curious people, men,
women and children, thronged the
court room to listen to the evidence in
the case which has proved of partic-
ular prominence because Of the position
Of the defendants.
Mrs. Aimee Meloling was the first to
enter the court room She was at
tended by Police Matron Gilbert. and
was followed closely by her husband
The two sat side by side with the wife
clasping her husbands hand during
the entire proceedings. The mother Of
Mrs. Melollng and the mans sister
appeared later and sat with the de-
PENDANTS.
Mrs Halle H. Miller was called as
the prosecuting witness. Chinaware,
consisting of one hand-painted plate,
five decorated plates, two decorated
stems and three decorated vases, all Of
handsome design and magnificent col
orng, which were found in the apart
ments occupied by the Melolings, were
produced as an exhibit and identified
by Mrs. Miller, who said she painted
them.
Mrs. Miller said the bric-a -brac had
been taken from her room while she
was in Long Beach last July. She
said she saw the chinaware in Mrs.
Meloling's apartments recently and
that Mrs. Meloling claimed to have re-
celved it for Il wedding present.
The case was continued until March
90, when the defendants will take the
stand in their own behalf

BRINGS PRISONER IN
AT POINT OF REVOLVER
Demonstration Against Policeman Re-
suits From Arrest-Bricks Are
Hurled Through Car Window

Unable to stand off his assailants
and lead his prisoner at the same time,
officer H. L. Carey of the southeastern
district of Los Angeles, marched
Charles King, charged with interfer-
ing with an officer, through a crowd
of men and boys near the junction Of
Slauson and Central avenues, Thurs
day night with the point of his re-
volver pressing against the ribs of his
prisoner.
The officer was attracted to a room
ing house in the neighborhood during
the evening by a gang of men and boys
who We're shooting craps on the side
walk. He watched them and when he
dashed in to make his arrest he cap
tured a young man who claimed to
have nothing to do with the game.
While Darcy was talking with his pris-
oner King came from the lodging house
and explained that the man under ar
rest was a sick man and had just
gone out of the house to get lantern
from the side yard.
At this juncture a demonstration
was made by a crowd which had col
ected and the prisoner escaped. The
officer arrested King, but was in
danger of losing his prisoner. Draw
ing his revolver, however, so that the
bystanders could see, he pressed the
muzzle of the weapon against Kings
side and marched him to a car. AS
he boarded a Vernon avenue car a
brick came through the air, thrown
from some one in the crowd, and
crashed through the car window,
barely missing the officers head and
King in the breast. King was
released yesterday upon pleading not
guilty to a charge of blocking the side
walk.

RECORD BREAKING DAY IN THE
DIVORCE COURTS
All Departments Thronged With Hus-
bands and Wives clamoring for
Freedom From Matrimo-
nia Bonds

Thirteen divorce suits were heard
yesterday by superior judges in Los
Angeles and even the staid habitues of
the court hourse were inclined to be-
lieve that marriage is a failure.
Clamoring for freedom, disconsolate
couples thronged the court rooms re-
peatlng tales of blasted hopes, broken
noses, shattered hearts and every other
conceivable misfortune of which it is
the lot of divorce court justices to hear.
Had the three new departments of the
superior court been in session yester-
day. which would have made total Of
nine, all the judges and clerks would
have been kept busy and then there
might have been bill for overtime.

titioned Judge York yesterday in the
superior court for divorce from
William E. Hull. Mrs. Hull told the
court that her husband complained Of
nothing in particular, but everything in
general, all of which served to produce
domestic discord in an otherwise happy
household. Hulls failure to put him
self in the proper light won the day
for Mrs. Hull and the divorce Was

No Money for Home

No tears fell from the eyes of Mrs.
Anna H. MadduX when she related the
history of her argument on the money
question with her husband, William ~.
MadduX, and Judge Allen thought it
best to grant her a divorce. According
TO Mrs. MadduX's tale it appears that
her husband was bitterly opposed to
the expenditure Of currency in connec-
tion with the affairs of the home. Judge
Allen was not in accord with Maddux
on the money question and the hus-
band was put away on the divorce
shelf.

if the defendants counsel do not take
steps to question McWilliams' sanity,
he will invoke the powers granted him
by the laws of the state to do SO.
Those who are acquainted with
Warden Hunter are hardly willing to
attribute any such language to him,
as he Is keen, shrewd officer. If he
contemplates any such action, it Is
argued, he will keep his own counsel
until the time comes to act.
This crime was committed in such
cold-blooded and atrocious manner
that the people Of the county will OPP
pose any move looking to pronouncing
of McWilliams being insane. OF
course at present there are no true
grounds of suspicion that the SEN
tence will not be carried out as planned
by the Judge Of the district court, but
the law provides method by which,
if the occasion seems to obtrude itself,
prisoners sanity or insanity may be
passed upon even after he has been
committed within the walls Of the pen
itentiary. 1t is possible that pris-
oner may be perfectly sane when COM
mitted to the prison and afterwards
become insane. There must be some
provision for such cases. The law does
not contemplate that an insane man
shall be hanged. He must be kept IN
confinement until the equilibrium OF
his mental faculty has been restored.
