HIGHLAND PARK SHADE TREES
CUT DOWN BY STREET GRADERS

The action Of the graders in cutting
down the beautiful cedar and acacia
trees early yesterday morning on West
Avenue Fifty-seven, preparatory to
grading the avenue. caused much In
dignation among the residents, who
Immediately applied to the city en-
glneer's office, as that office had prom
ised that the trees should remain in
tact. The graders, who commenced
the work of despoiling the trees yes
terday morning at 6 o'clock, left the
field until the rights of the property
owners are decided.
The property owners were angered
by what they consider the merciless
cutting down of their shade trees. They
say that when the street surveying
was done their trees were guaranteed
protection, but that the action yester-
day morning showed a change of heart.
When they saw what was being done
they entered n protest. This resulted
in the temporary abatement of the

advice from the city engineer before
further action is taken.

of the trees seems irreparable. She
said last night: "J felt very bad this

Is Promptly Rearrested on
Grand Larceny Charge

Instead of turning states evidence,
as he had proposed, and giving testi-
mony against Silas S. Duntley, charged
with cattle stealing, Charles Caldwell,
charged with a similar offense, yester-
day refused TO give any evidence on
the witness stand in Justice Young's
court and said any statement he made
would incriminate him.
Having declared himself, Caldwell
left the stand and started to leave the
building. But as he had planned his
little surprise for the prosecuting at
torney and conducted it so dramatical-
ly, the prosecuting attorney had
planned a similar little courtesy, and
as Caldwell left the court room he was
arrested by Deputy Sheriff Franklin,
who had sworn out a warrant charg-
ing grand larceny.
The Duntley examinations have been
strenuous ones and both, through the
demand of a local attorney who is rep
resenting Duntley. have been held be-
hind closed doors.

CHICAGO, Dec. 2I--A free for all
fight, in which five men We're seriously
injured, occurred at a meeting of the
Transfers Joint Council last night.
Without hats or overcoats the men fled
from the meeting with blood stream
ing from their faces.
The fight had it's origin in the cleo

known as tie Baggage and Parcel De
livery Drivers Union. The president
of the local, Harry Lapp, and the
business agent, Joseph w. Young, are
both under Indictment in connection
with the strike of last summer.
The adoption of motion that the
two men should continue in Office
caused a protest by 300 members, and
this was carried to the council last
night.
When Albert Linsdon. chairman of a
protesting delegation of five, arose to
read the protest he was knocked
down by rival delegate. In a minute
general fight was raging, every one
of the protesting committee becoming
a target for fists and feet. The pro-

left him. Instead he took refuge be-
hind the self incrimination rule and
left the stand without making any
statement.
In the meantime, however, Franklin,
learning that Caldwell was to appear
in court, made a hurried visit to the
district attorney and swore out an
other warrant on a second charge and
served Caldwell as the man left the
court house.
Following the continuation of the ex-
animation the two men were taken
hack to the county jail by Constable
DE La Monte. On the way Caldwell
passed something to Duntley and when
the latter reached the jail and was
searched a knife was found on him.
No explanations were made.

If all the treatments for

pretty big library. But after
all there has been little inn
Provement over the old treat

The latter supplies nourish-
ment that cannot be secured

all, nourishment is what the

A gain in weight, however
slight, is a long step toward
improvement. If there is the
least thing to build on SCOTS
Emulsion will enable the pa

c. 3. Baskette Asks Divorce From
Woman Whom He Had Twice Mar
ried--Judge Brings Up Old
Divorce Proceedings

Love for the footlights. the gaudy
tinsel and the cheering throngs Of spec
tators is alleged to have caused Mrs.
Aerial N. Baskette, wife Of trusted
employe Of a large Broadway dry goods
house, to forsake her husband, whom
she had previously divorced and remar-
ried, and join a travelling opera COM
pany, and yesterday Charles b. Bas-
kettle, the husband, after airing his
troubles before Judge d. X. TraslS of
department of the superior court,
asked for an interlocutory decree of
divorce.
But, according to Judge Trask there
were number of points in the case
which required an explanation, and he
refused to grant a divorce until the
wife was heard from. She will appear
in court this morning and make her
explanations regarding the charges
against her.
Baskette said yesterday he married
Mrs. Aerial N. Baskette in Los Angeles
November 25. 1908. They lived happily
together until February rs, 1904, when,
according to the plaintiff, his wife asked
to be allowed to visit her relatives in
Dallas and return for his wife and gave
her $100 spending money. He charged
yesterday that instead of going to Dallas
his wife went to st. Louis, where
dazzled by an offer from a stage man.
ager who was conducting a small the
ater during the fair, his wife decided
that fame and glory awaited her on the
boards, and she proceeded to don suit
able raiment and forthwith become an
actress.
When she concluded her career in St.
Louis she went to Dallas and then re-
turned TO Los Angeles
Wife Was ScornfuI
Then, according - the allegations of
Baskette, the hardest blow of all fell
upon him when his wife looked him
over scornfully and remarked that he
was not for her. A slow town like Los
Angeles failed to appeal to Mrs. Bas-
kettle after the whirlw.nd gaiety of st.
Louis, and she was charged by her hus-
band with having joined a barnstorm-
ing company and plunged desperately
in the excitement of the San Diego and
Ventura playhouses. She is now living
with her mother on South Broadway.
Following Baskette's statements yes
terday Judge Trask took a hand in the
cross
Have you ever brought action for
divorce before?" he asked.
NO" answered Baskettc.
Have you ever been married before?''
again queried the judge.
II was married to my present wife in
Dallas in 1898 and ca. .e here in 1900"
said Baskette, 'and she instituted the
divorce proceedings against me on a
charge of desertion.'
Judge Trask was not satisfied with
the explanation and sent his clerk to
get the papers in the former case. 1t
was then learned that Mrs. Baskette
had obtained a divorce from her hus-
band on the ground of cruelty. She
charged him with having visited her
home in an intoxicated condition and
knocked her down and called her vile
name.
Baskette answered he understood the
divorce had been granted on the de?
sertion grounds and he would never
have allowed it to go by default if he
had known the charge was cruelty.

TWO KILLED; ONE
HURT BY CAVE-IN
LABORERS CRUSHED TO DEATH
IN BRICKYARD
Inability Of Men to Understand En-
glsh Costs Them Their Lives.
Ambulance Almost collides
With Street Car

Two employees of the T. o. Eng
strom brickyards on tine San Fernando
road were killed yesterday morning by
the caving in of a bank adjoining a pit
and a third employe was probably fatal
ly injured. The dead men are Michtelo
zoff, a Russian. The injured man is
Strassilino Giovanni. While the sur
vivor was being removed to the receiv-
ing hospital the driver of the ambulance
had a narrow escape from a collision
with a street car on West First street,
in front of the police station.
The accident which resulted in the
death of the two men and the serious
injury of the third is said to be due
to the mems inability to understand the
English language. Foreman Sumter of
the brickyards saw that the wall of
clay was about 20 cave and engulf his
men. Warnings were shouted to them
but the men only stopped and looked in
wonder at the foreman
The men were working in a clay pit in
the brickyards and a wall was UNDER
mined. When it was ready to fall
warning was given the men in the pit.
But it was not understood in time, for
the wall fell and buried under it the
three workmen. 1t is said that three
tons of clay were piled on the men,
pinning them down so that they were
unable to even struggle.
Rush Rescue Work
Superintendent Forester of the brick
| yards Immediately put all the laborers
on the premises to work digging out the
buried men. But fully half an hour had
elapsed before they were brought to
the light entirely unconscious Duretto
and Morozoff died almost Immediately.
The Upnconscious form of Giovanni
gave signs of life and his body was
placed in the ambulance of j. R. Paul
and the driver set out to make n record
run to the receiving hospital and try to
save the mans life. In doing so he
narrowly escaped q collision with a
street car in front of the police station.
AT the moment when the collision was
imminent the driver suddenly turned
his team into the police patrol wagon
entrance from West First street and
hurriedly carried his burden into the
receiving hospital.
Giovanni was at once placed on an
operating table, and after quick eX-
animation it was found that both ankles
We're broken, his lower lip badly lace

that he was suffering from probable
fatal internal injuries.
