THREW CANNED FRUIT
AT DAUGHTERS HUSBAND
Mrs. Hattie Beck Tells Of Encounter
Between Spouse and His
Mother.in.LaW

In his alterations with his spouse,
s. e. Beck held his own and had some
to spare, but when he challenged his
mother-in-law to a fstic encounter,
troubles began to brew, and yesterday
Mts. Hattie Beck asked Judge Trask
In the superior court for a divorce.
1t appears, from the story unfolded
to the court, that the climax OF their
matrimonial woes was reached last
Thanksgiving day. when Beck dragged
his wife about the house in most un-
dignined manner.
Mrs. Becks costume failed to suit
her husband and he ordered his wife
to wear her pink satin.
This Mrs. Beck refused to do, and
in order to demonstrate to his spouse
who was who" in the Beck house
hold, he is said to nave thrown her
out of the window,
The plaintiffs troubles we're most
numerous on holidays, and last Christ
mas day Beck, It is alleged, introduced
what he termed a playful novelty in
the domestic happiness of the house
hold, by hurting boot at his wife's
head.
Becks mother-in-law undertook to
correct the sins of her daughters
husband.
According to the testimony of Mrs
Beck 1t appears that her husband un-
tremendously pitched his mother-in-
law down the stairs.
At this time Mrs. Beck deserted her
husband and fled for safety to her
mothers home. Beck, it Is said, went
to his mother-in-law's home and plead
ed with mis- wife to forgive him.
His pleas were If no avail and as he
was in the midst of a plea Becks
mother-in-law hurled few cans OF
preserves at her relative.

DEATH NO BAR TO
CAFE MERR|MENT
MAN DEAD IN SHAFT; MUSIC
CONTINUES
Orchestra at the Bristol Plays a
Lively Air as the Janitor Of
the Building Is
Killed

While men and women sat laughing
and talking at the Cafe Bristol in the
Helman block last night, unknown to
them the life OF Chris Larson, head
ianitor of the building, was snuffed
out in the elevator shaft leading to the
restaurant.
Larson was between the fifth and
sixth floors cleaning the elevator
shafting when he was struck and in
stantly killed by the elevator as It
descended from the top floor.
He had stopped a moment in his
work to listen to the strains of orches.
trail music as it hoated up to him
through the elevator shaft opening
into the cafe.
Larson's skull was crushed like an
eggshell. Although the body did not
fall to the basement, there was abun-
dant evidence of the accident at the
bottom of the elevator shaft, but the
guests at the cafe were unaware of
the tragedy until 1t was made known
that something was wrong by the
noise Of people from the street crowd
ing into the big hallway on the first
floor. The accident is the first of any
kind that has happened in the build
ing.
Contrary to orders, it is said, Lar
son climbed upon the top of one ele-
vator cage and leaned over to clean
the woodwork of the adjoining shaft,
while the elevator was running.
Harry Wise, the elevator boy, was
entirely unaware of the mans danger
Gus position and when a call came
from the ground floor he started to
drop the cage to where it was desired.
At the same moment that he struck
Larson he reversed the current and the
cage stopped and then ascended, so
that the body of the janitor was not
otherwise mutilated. The body fell
back upon the elevator cage on which
Larson was standing.
M. II. Hellman, manager of the
building, was on the seventh floor and
with Dr. John B. Cook hurried to
where the accident had occurred, but
the man was dead when he'was taken
from the top of the elevator cage.
Larson had been warned several
times during the evening of the dan
ger of his position.
Larson was unmarried and has q
sister living in Denver.

SUIT INVOLVES
BIG Commission
LOS ANGELES MAN ASKS FOR
$4,000
j. Irving croweII Says He Is Entitled
to That Sum for His Part in
the Transfer of Gold
Mine

Early today the jury in Judge Con-
rey's department Of the superior court
will decide whether j. Irving Crowell
of Los Angeles is entitled to receive a
commission of $4,000 for his services in
connection with the sale of gold
mine.
Thomas Ewing, well-known mine
owner and broker, is the defendant to
the suit.
In January, 1902, Crowell says that
NJ. p. Gilbert of Salt Lake City wrote
him from Philadelphia regarding GER
tain mining properties which he was
desirous of examining with view to
purchase.
The plaintiff says in his complaint
that being desirous of obtaining a
mine for Gilbert he went to Ewing and
asked him If he could recommend a
good gold property. The plaintiff says
that Ewing informed him that he had
just such property on hand and that
he had a bond on it whereby 1t was
tied up, which condition enabled him
to control the mine, the selling price
OF which was $25O,000.
Crowell says that Ewing intimated
to him by word of mouth that IL he
property it would be worth the sum of
$50000.
The plaintiff says that he exhibited
Gilbert's letter to the defendant,
whereupon Ewing then communicated
with Gilbert in relation to the mine,
which was situated in the Leland
group in Mojave county, Arizona.
Soon after having received this let
ter Gilbert is said to have arrived in
Los Angeles, accompanied by one p.
Mcnamara, a mining expert.
Crowell says that at this time he in
troduced Gilbert and Mcnamara to the
defendant and after certain prelim-
mary negotiations Gilbert secured an
option on the property.
Saw Fortune Vanish
The sum of $3.50, 900 was a small sum
in the eyes of the easterner, and Crow
ell was about to realize a fortune,
when Ewing purchased the property
himself, and the option held by Gill
bert on the mine was closed out by
expiration of the time limit.
1t appears from the testimony, how
ever, that subsequently Gilbert pur-
chased the property, the sale having
been effected at figure which Crow
ell says was about $25O,000.
Crowell alleges that such sale was
made to and through Gilbert as a re-
suit of the negotiations begun at the
time he introduced Gilbert to the de-
fendant, and on this cause of action
he brings his suit.
The case has been bitterly contested
and both sides have been represented
by brilliant array of legal talent.
The argument in the case will be
concluded early this morning and the
jury will then decide whether or not
Crowell is entitled to receive the
$4,000.
Both parties to the suit are exceed
ingly well known in Los Angeles.

GUILTY OF ROBBERY
Value of Stolen Watch Saves Convict
Longer Sentence


Morris Pyron was tried before jury
yesterday in Judge Smiths department
of the superior court on the charge of
grand larceny, but the jury found him
guilty of petty larceny and he was
sentenced to four months in the county
Jail.
The complaining witness in the case
was Walter S. Wright. Wright came
to Los Angeles with Pyron from
Brawley, Cal, Shortly after arriving
Wright purchased an imitation gold
watch at a cheap jewelry store and
loaned Pyron money with which the
latter made similar purchase.
Wright and Pyron retired together
street.
In the morning Wright says he dis
covered that his watch and forty dol
lars in cash were missing, and he
caused the arrest of Pyron.
A man named Duncan. an accom-
plice to the robbery, confessed and de-
clared that he and Pyron had con-
spired to rob their friend.
An appraiser testified that the watch
stolen was hardly worth seven dollars.
Wright, however, insisted that he had
paid $1E5O Tor the watch. The ap-
praiser's testimony was allowed to
stand. This brought the sum stolen
down to SAT- which being under fifty
dollars, subjected Pyron to the charge
of petty larceny.

JAPANESE HONOR MEMORY
OF THEIR SOLDIER HEROES
Memorial Services Held in Turn
verein Hall Last Night Were
Largely Attended

Six hundred Japanese residents of
Los Angeles, in addition to large
number of Americans, assembled at
Turnverin hall last night for the me-
mortal service which was held in honor
of the Japanese soldiers killed in the
present war.
American flags, interviewer with the
emblem of Japan, were used in pro-
fusion for the decoration of the hall,
while the rostrum was flanked by large
artificial cherry trees, filled with many
blossoms and symbolic of the patrio-
ercises. On one side of the stage was
a banner bearing the inscription "How
good to think of, is the heroism of our
dead soldier boys"
The first part of the program was
devoted to addresses by the chairman,
u. Izumida, and S. Hagiwara, and the
reading of memorial essay by X.
Ugai This was under the auspices Of
the Presbyterian and Methodist church
missions.
The second part of the program,
which was explained to Americans by
an interpreter, S. Fugii, took on more
or a Japanese character, with music on
Japanese instruments and a scene from
Russian-Japanese battlefield given
by ten Japanese maidens. Following
their drill they passed among the au-
dience and collected neat sum of
money which will be used to help those
made widows and orphans by the war.
