minor daughter Emma C. Cramer.
Since the divorce was granted her
husband has been remarked. and in
order to prevent him from getting con-
troll of her only child Mrs. Cramer
asked the court to appoint her as the
lawful guardian.
Justice Wilbur acquiesced and he
Imposed a bond upon her in the sum Of
one dollar for her faithful discharge of
the trust.
An attorney suggested that ninety
eight cents would be a reasonable
bond, but the court refused TO reduce
the amount.

LIGHTING ASSOCIATIONS
APPEAL TO LEGISLATURE
City Attorney Renders Assistance te
Citizens Who Would In-
nrnMa CfnaefS
prove Streets

The refusal of the lighting monopolies
of Los Angeles to grant favorable
rate to the Broadway, Hill and Spring
street associations in connection with
their plans for placing street lights
on those streets, bids fair to produce
results quite unexpected to the gas
and electric companies.
f. w. Blanchard, acting for the as
sociations, has secured the assistance
of City Attorney Mathews in prepar-
ing a bill to be submitted to the legis-
lature. The bill was in fact submitted
some time ago and it has already
passed the house.
The bill provides that the council of
any city included in the act may grant
lighting privileges to any assessment
district wherein two-thirds of the
property fronting on the street is signed
up for the purpose. The life of the
privilege is limited to two years, at the
expiration of which time it may be
renewed if the property owners so de-
sire. The BILL if passed, will it is
said give a decided stimulus to the
plans for improved street lighting.

LITTLE WORK; MUCH SMOKE
Mrs. Christina Jones Ends Second
Matrimonial Venture

Her husband got her property, but
she compelled him to pack his trunk
and go. and yesterday Mrs. Christina
Jones evened up with her husband,
William Jones, when she was granted
a divorce in the superior court
The chief complaint made by Mrs.
Jones against her husband was that
he lounged about the house all day
and puffed great clouds of smoke into
the air, all of which was not conducive
to her happiness and comfort,
Several witnesses testified that Jones
boasted that as soon as he secured
his wife's estate he was glad to leave
home.
Again the feminine side Of the al
lance charged her husband with per-
nicious "nagging," by the frequent use
of an untiring tongue.
The plaintiff told the court that dur
ing the whole of their married career
Jones had failed TO provide for her.
This is Mrs Jones second attempt

BOXED HUSBANDS EARS
Mistreated Man Secures Decree OF
Separation

To have his ears boxed when he failed
to obey the commands of his wife was
a strenuous circumstance in the life
of Harry Atherton, and yesterday
when he secured dissolution of the
copartnership of love in the superior
court his joy was unbounded.
The matrimonial compact was en-
tered into at Oklahoma City on April
6, 1902.
Mrs. Atherton sent her husband to a
department store, and in gazing
over the ribbon counter he is said 20
have winked at clerk of the opposite
sex.
AS a mode of punishment, Atherton
says his wife forced him to submit to
having his ears boxed, and then or
dered him to go to rest at o'clock

REFUSED THREE CENTS
A DAY FOR SUPPORT
Stock Broker Scored BY Judge for
Failure to Provide for
Family


When her husband refused to con-
tribute three cents for her support,
Mrs Clara A. Ringer informed him
that their happiness was ended, and yes
terday she was divorced from her
spouse on the score Of his failure to
provide the three pennies for her sus-
tenance.
Ringer was formerly a stock broker.
When the cash failed to come his way
Mrs. Ringer urged him to work in or
der to provide food for his children.
During over thirty years of married
life Ringer, according to his wifc's
story, refused to pay even three cents
for the support of the family.
Three meals day and an exciting
time in the bucket" shop was the pro-
gram mapped out by the husband, she
says.
Mrs. Ringer has not seen her spouse
for ten years, but she Is certain he Is
still buying &C. b. O. Anaconda
and other stocks.
Judge York had little sympathy fol-
an alleged stock broker who could moi
afford to contribute three cents a day
for the sustenance Of his household.

WORKING FOR CHANGE IN
LAWS GOVERNING MONEY
City Attorney Sends Advice to Leeis-
lators Concerning Release Of City
Funds From Vault

City Attorney Mathews has sent an
opinion to Sacramento for the benefit
Of the Legislators there who are urging
the passage of a bill that can be used
as the instrument for releasing the
public funds now tied up in city treas
uries.
The plan adopted for bringing about
the release Of the money is to pass a
bill during the present session Of the
legislature which will render the pres
ent law, requiring that city treasurers
keep all public moneys in their personal
possession, imperative.
In addition to the law mentioned
there is a provision in the constitution
of the state which amounts to the same
thing. The difference between the
constitutional provision and the state
law is that the law has penal clause
attached to It and the constitutional
provision has not.
The effect of the passage of such a
law as is proposed would be that the
constitutional provision would be
ignored and the money would be placed
in the banks, by reason of the fact
that no penalty attaches to a violation
of the constitutional provision.
1t is proposed at the same time to
pave the way for the removal of the
constitutional provision by submitting
an amendment to the constitution, to
be voted for by the people at the next
general election.
1t is believed that this method, while
somewhat round about, will eventually
remove all obstacles to the placing of
public moneys in banks, under proper
safeguards. The advantage of the
scheme proposed, over a simple amend
ment to the constitution is that 1t will
release the money in the sub-treasury
Of this city as soon as the bill is signed
by Governor Pardee.

STEELE MAY BE DISCHARGED
Poker Playing Case Reviewed In
Township Court

The silence that has lowered over
the now famous Ocean Park Santa
Monica "politico-social poker game
has at last been broken, and John
Steele of political fame in the seaside
town yesterday was arranged before
Justice Young in the township court on
preliminary examination charged with
having obtained money under false
pretenses.
Next Monday Steele may be dis
charged on the complaint filed against
him.
The examination of Steele took up
the entire day yesterday in the town
ship court, but the necessity of a long
drawn out examination was obviated
by counsel for both sides who stipu-
lated to the testimony adduced before
the court in the examination of John
G. Holborow, in connection with the
same charge.
Deputy District Attorney Donnell
conducted the prosecution, while the
interests of the defendant were looked
after by Attorneys Davis, Rush and
Willis.
The comedy enacted in the little room
at the old Holborow hotel at Santa
Monica, wherein the green table and
chips played prominent part, was
rehearsed yesterday before a crowded
court room.
Owing to the absence of Attorneys
Rogers and Anderson, who were en-
ployed as special counsel by the prose-
cution, Justice Young took the case
under adYisement until Monday.

Break Up Home
His wife's correspondence, couched In
endearing language, and addressed to
other men, spoiled C. A. Scott's do
mestic felicity, and yesterday Judge
Trask in the superior court declared
Mrs. Fannie Scott to be no longer the
plaintiffs spouse.

Scott's wife.
Scott objected in particular to his

the courts attention to the letters
written by Mrs. Scott to the strange
man in the Imperial valley.
II haven't had much time to tell
Charlie about your proposed trip to

soon, but on the contary, I would sug

in one of her letters.
Dear Billy" and "Oh, my dream"
are only few of the endearing terms
used by Mrs. Scott to emphasize the
feeling which she had for the. strange
man.
The attorney insisted that acrimoni-
Gus argument pervaded the Scott house
hold when the choice bits of love came
to the surface, and Judge Trask
