.sripsr Cost France $50, 900, 900 a Year

Americans will be interested to learn that
a serious movement is on foot to abolish
the obnoxious tipping system in France, as
1t has to trifing extent been abolished in
England, which is following the example
set by America.
1t is well known in Paris that a large per-
centage of people who serve others live
entirely on their tips, and. as first step
toward the abolition of this nuisance an
official has made careful and exhaustive
calculation of the money spent in tips in
this country. He arrives at the conclusion
that nearly $S0OO0.000 is spent annually In
this way.
In Paris alone. s16o00.o0o year. or over
s44, 900 day is expended in tipping walt
ers, cabmen. concierges. porters and oth-
ers who look to have their palms greas-
ed" OF course, in the country the evil Is
not half so serious as In Paris, where ups
take away a large portion of mans in
come.

MRS M'CRACKEN TESTIFIES IN
DIVORCE SUIT
Woman Dramatically Recites Story OF
Night Adventure When She Hurled
Block Through Window
and Dodged Bullets

Mr.. and Mrs w. E. McCracken, both
members of prominent Los Angeles
families, have again taken their do
mestic troubles to lawyers and yester-
day appeared before Judge James in
department seven of the superior court
to have him decide which is entitled to
a decree of divorce.
Since the McCracken troubles became
public several months ago, both hus-
band and wife have been "jockeying" at
law for the satisfaction of having al.
interlocutory decree of divorce. The
first trial of the case was held before
Judge Conrey in department five of the
superior court during the latter part or
June.
At that time both contestants charged
misconduct and the details of the case
were of such a nature that the suit was
heard behind closed doors.
Judge Conrey ruled against both con-
testants and despite the efforts of the
attorneys the McCrackens went from
the court room still husband and wife.
Two months ago Mrs. Elsie McCrack-
en- filed another petition for divorce,
charging her husband with cruelty. The
complaint covered practically the same
grounds as those of the former case and
1t was ruled off the calendar by Judge
James, who held that the points had
already been adjudicated.
McCracken then filed a cross-com-
plant charging desertion, and this was
given a hearing yesterday and Mrs. Nc
Cracken told for the first time on the
witness stand the details of the night
when she followed her husband to the
home of Mrs. Day, who was named as
correspondent in a former case, and
there hurled block of wood through
the window and fled as Mrs. Day tirea
at her.
''I was warned by friend that my
husband was going to visit Mrs. Day,
wife of a mining specialist" said Mrs.
McCracken yesterday, land l deter
mined to find out for myself. In COM
pany with friend I followed him one
night and watched the house. l was
standing behind sign board when l
heard him whistle and he was admttteo
through the back door Of the residence.
I then ran over to the house and heard
his voice. He was in the dining room.
I called Mrs. Peck as witness and she
also heard my husbands voice in the
house.

Interest In the proposition for the city
to purchase Fiesta park for some future
need gained an impetus at a meeting Of
business men and large property own
ers held yesterday afternoon in the
chamber of commerce assembly room.
At the meeting petitions with many
signatures thereto were presented. They
were addressed to the city council and
read as follows:
1.-The undersigned, citizens and tax
payers of the city of Los Angeles, re-
spectfully represent
That in preparing for and laying the
foundation for the future city of Los
Angeles, centrally located tracts Of
land should be acquired without delay,
to be used as sites for public buildings,
for parks and for public play grounds.
Such sites are becoming daily more
scare and more expensive, especially
when they become covered with build
ings of which no public use can be
made We particularly call your atten-
tion to Fiesta park, bounded by Grand
avenue, Hope, Twelfth and Pico streets,
which is in the path of the city's growth
and Is as yet without buildings. 1t Is
an admirable site for the grouping of
our future public buildings, should the
city and county become consolidated,
and in the meantime 1t could be used
for other public purposes.
1.-THE undersigned pray that you take
immediate steps to acquire Fiesta park
block for the public purposes of the city
either by purchase or by condemna-
tion."
Stress was laid on the statement that
the movement to purchase the park
was not to be construed as an opposi-
ton city hall proposition. although
those who are chiefly concerned in agi-
tating 1t have expressed themselves as
opposed to the city accepting the North
Main street site and have pleaded with
the mayor to veto the ordinance ac-
cepting It,
The argument was advanced at yes
terday's meeting that in all probability
Los Angeles city and county govern
ments will soon be consolidated and
that when this becomes the case new
city hall would be unnecessary.
In another effort to have the mayor
veto the ordinance accepting the new
site large committee will wait on him
at o'clock this afternoon to advance
further arguments why the gift should
not be accepted. The mayor has until
next Saturday to affirm OF veto the
ordinance and he has stated that he will
take every minute of the time.

and Mrs. Day hustled him out of the
house.
Mrs. Day then came toward me with
a revolver. I'm going to shoot you,
she said, but 1 said L didn't care; that
had all the proof / wanted. AT that
she fired and the bullet whizzed past
my head. She fired again as [ ran"
Mrs. McCracken offered the story of
the escapade as her only evidence, ana
then McCracken entered his testimony.
He asserted that his wife had packed
up his goods and left word that If he
didn't take his things and get out that
she would put him out.
A decision may be given today.
