MONSTER BLUE
SHARK LANDED
GREAT CATCH IS MADE NEAR
SAN PEDRO
Fish Measures Seventy-tWo Feet and
Weighs 5000 Pounds-May Be
Mounted and Placed on
Exhibition

Capt. Bostich and his Italian crew,
while fishing six miles out from Re-
dondo yesterday, sighted blue shark
and set about to capture it. When
it was finally landed at San Pedro last
night it was found to be seventy-two
feet long and weighed 5000 pounds.
The struggle with the shark was
a fierce one and it was with difficulty
that finally it was harpooned. The
men trolled it along with lines to the
wharf of the Morgan Oyster company,
but the tackle was not heavy enough
to lift the shark clear out of the water.
1t is now hanging half suspended in
the air.
Before the fishermen landed their
catch it did about $175 damage to their
nets. A Snowman has offered them
500 for it, but Capt. Bostich thinks he
should have $400 on account of the
damage to his fishing apparatus.
1t is thought the chamber of COM
merce of San Pedro will take the mat
ter up and purchase the shark. In
that case it will be mounted and put
on exhibition.
This is the first shark of the kind
and size ever captured near San Pedro.
They usually are found near rocky
shores and farther north. 1t is at
tracing considerable attention on ac-
count of being a novel catch.

HUSBANDS PLEA OF GUILTY
ENTERED AS EVIDENCE
Wife No. Did All She Could to
Free Her Spouse, but Has Since
Gained Freedom for
Herself

When Mrs. Vonnie NJ. K. German.
second wife of Victor K. German, a
handsome young salesman of Los An
geles learned that her husband was
a bigamist and that as such he would
be tried before the higher courts on a
felony charge, she did everything in
her power to assist in his defense.
Partly through her efforts and part
ly through the circumstances of the
case, German was allowed to plead
guilty to the charge before Judge Smith
and was allowed to go free on two
years probation sentence.
Then after having succeeded in free
ing the man she loved Mrs. German
number two filed suit for annullment
of marriage and yesterday she was
granted her petition by Judge Gibbs in
department two of the superior court.
In Five Minutes
The case was one of the shortest on
record and Mrs. German was not in
the court room more than five minutes

RA0UL PUGNO PROVES
HIMSELF AN ARTIST
DELIGHTS AN AUDIENCE OF
MUSIC LOVERS
TonaI Effects Produced at Simpson
Auditorium by the Eminent French
Pianist Evoke the Greatest En-
thusiasm

Raoul Pugno, the pianist, delighted
fair-sized audience of music lovers
in Simpson auditorium last night. He
certainly did justice to his teacher
Cesar Franck. Starting out with the
f minor prelude and fugue of Bach
he seemed to be somewhat disappointed
at not seeing a full house. 1t was not
until he played the G minor Ballade of
Chopin that he summoned his gigantic
resources to a culminatiVe point that
stirred the audience as if by magic.
The ScherZo, too, was just as brilliant,
while the PolonaiSe was handled with
a technical facility that was as charm
ing as it was attractive.
His "Serenade to the Moon" was en-
Enthusiastically received and he was per-
suaded to play an encore. But it was
in the XXI Rapsodie" of List that he
stood forth before his audience no
longer as a pianist but as a monarch
reaping victories of tonal effects and
carrying everything before him.
AT 2:15 next Saturday after
noon Pugno will again illuminate the
pianistic atmosphere of Los Angeles
with a grand repertoire of pieces, en-
braciug modern and classic composers.
Following is the program for that day:
Les RoseauX, (Couperin); LIE Reveille-
Matin: lie Rappel DIES Diseaut,

o'clock and a recess until 2:SO was
taken. At that time District Attorney
Fredericks began his argument to
close the case for the prosecution
1t was thought that two hours would
be sufficient to close the case, but
the attorney had much to say and at
8 o'clock he was refused further time
to finish at that session, and the case
was continued until this morning at
10 o'clock, when Fredericks will close.
The instructions of the court then
will be read and it is expected the case
will be given to the jury at about 1880
o'clock

| before she was allowed to depart a
| free woman.
Germans plea of guilty entered in the
criminal court was produced along with
certified copies of the two marriage
certificates and further evidence was
not required.
German married for the first time
at Santa Ana about five years ago.
His married life was stormy and he
deserted his wife about two years ago
in Los Angeles
He went to San Francisco where he
was served with notice that his wife
had filed divorce proceedings against
him, alleging desertion and cruelty
In the notice it was stated that ten
days were allowed him in which to file
answer to the petition and that in fail
ing to do so he would allow the divorce
to go by default
Second Romance
The young man later pleaded that he
thought the ten days clause meant that
he would be divorced within that time
if he did not answer, so when the ten
days were over he came to Los An
geles, and after meeting and wooing
Miss Vonnie Turner of University sta
ton for three long days. he married
her and the couple started for San
Francisco on their honeymoon.
German was arrested there on COM
plant sworn out by the Los Angeles
district attorney. He was brought back
and on the day of his arrival here his
first wife was granted a decree of di-
Vorce on the cruelty charge
For the sake of her baby boy she
refused to prosecute her husband and
the two women lent their aid in Sc
curing Germans release.

discussion Of the vital question why
men remain bachelors, and as other lux

matters, such as how men propose, the
young girl In love, the ethics Of f1irta-

is very simple in the authors mind
-. You think you are bachelors of your own voli

In her chapter on how men propose
the author says that proposing really is
done by the women She puts it thus:

One suspects that the author Is merely
seeking to make little fun. But It is
pertinent to ask whether she is justified
IN making fun at the cost of the awful

Let the Steel Trust Paw,

Duluth interests opposed to the wide
open tax amendment are confident Of
beating it by a recount, which they are
preparing to start. Their confidence is
likely to be rudely shaken. They will
no doubt succeed in reducing the ma
jority of the tax amendment, and pull
the good roads amendment thru, but it
Is too much to expect that there will be
a complete transportation of the votes
cast for the two amendments. The tax
amendment carried by nearly $4,000,
while the road amendment lost by only
little over 300. If every vote counted
for the tax amendment was really cast
for the road amendment, and vice
versa, then the contest would be sue
cessful. There were precincts, how
ever, where the change in the order
was noted and the returns made ad-
v1sedly.' 1t is safe to assume that there
were good many such. So the vote
Will not be reversed entirely.
The contest is a new thing. It will
be the first ever brought to recount the
'ooN VI Ih1uueSOGd DIS WlOl0. 1t will
establish precedent then, to large ex-
tent. The Duluth movers in the mat
ter already say they will ask the leg
lsiature to refund the expenses of the
recount to the contestants. That Is =
precedent that the legislature certainly
ought not to make. The opposition to
the amendment comes from special in
terests that are afraid Of reform ,leois-
lat1on permitted by the amendment.
The plain people of st. Louis county
DO not need to fear that by a tonnage
tax they will lose anything in local
taxes from the steel trust. The con.
test, If the case is rightly understood
must be inspired by the steel trust in.
terests alone. It is absurd to ask the
state at large to pay for the fight made
by special interest to defeat the will
OF the people, to beat measure that
received three votes in its favor to one
against It. The legislature should
promptly sit down on such an 1mpudent
proposition.

What Other People Think
Uniform Laws.
To the Editor Of The Journal.


To the Editor Of The Journal.
Reading Mr.. Holmes opinion on the
uniformity of the marriage and divorce
laws reminds me that there are few
| others that might reasonably be made
| uniform. All laws that are intended for
| the good Of all the people should emanate
| from congress. Take for instance. the
| law regulating the practice Of medicine
and surgery, and pharmacy, the stand
ard of qualification in which should be
| the same in every state and territory.
Anyone who successfully passes an ex-
animation In either branch in England
| may forever after practice in England
| or any Of her colonies, and the same
applies to Germany and France. In the
United States every state or territory
has state board Of examiners, composed
| Of men not always appointed for their
| high standing in their profession, before
whom every one who wishes to prac-
| tice his chosen profession must appear.
The writer has no particular fault to
| find with that, but can any sane man
show cause why man who has success
| fully passed the examination Of one state
! board should be put to the trouble and
expense Of second or third examina-
ton, If circumstances, over which he pos
| sfbly may have no control, cause him to
! remove his practice a few miles across
| a state line which In many instances is
| in dispute2 A few Of the states are
| liberal enough to reciprocate in the mat
ter Of certificates, but a large majority
| of our legislators are so filed with the
divinity of state rights that no thoughts
Of progress ever enter into their skulls.
The law as it stands today is supposed
to keep or drive out quacks, but It Is
far from accomplishing that And, after
ALL it is the people who pay the doctor
and not the state. II a man Is satisfied
| that a blacksmith can set his broken
bone better, or that some neighbor wom-
an can do as well by his wife in her hour
of trouble as a man who has half of
the letters Of the alphabet tackled to his
name and certificate from every state
board In the United States, no law that
would hold water before the supreme
| court of the United States can punish
any one of the three. Personal rights
take precedence over state rights, for
the state Is only an aggregation of peo-
pie, each one having the inalienable
right to do as he pleases, provided he
does not infringe upon the individual
rights Of others. IF.
The Minneapolis journal. [volume] (Minneapolis, Minn.) 1888-1939, 1906-12-28

and library boards not a dozen votes
would have been cast. A sure way to
take the tuck" out Of the male poll
tician and voter would be to "give him
something easy i.e., nice, quiet, de-
cent, unobjectionable or very worthy
school or library candidate to vote for,
and that only.
OF all fallacies to which the otherwise
astute editorial pen smoothly lends itself,
and with which the male voter bushes
his conscience, none is more stupendous
Cor trivial, according to the point Of
view than the old saw, Women will
have the ballot when she wants it"
She will have it when men want her to
have 1t, enough of them to constitute a
majority.
Who wants indirect influence? Do
men? Let them take their own prescrip.
ton and vote themselves some indirect
influence. Disfranchise In some county
or state half the men and then say tc
them: your indirect influence on the
course Of political events may easily be-
come greater than any direct influence
the ballot would give you" OF course,
they would keep we'll informed on all
topics political, and sweetly urge their
views on the voting half and be perfectly
satisfied when their views had perco-
lated thru some other mind and eventu-
ated In vote, unmod1f1ed of course by
any other influence.
One day these disfranchised men may
decide to vote, and then the ballot will
be theirs for the asking. Oh, they must
ask-a thing is sometimes done because
it Is right, not because it is begged for
but not often when male politicians
and voters have to settle II.
1t Is no special duty or women to
purify politics." and they ask for the
vote for no such reason, nor do they
promise so much publication. if it is
given them.
Lady Cook has been in America a
week-too short time to compare con-
ditions in the enfranchised states with
conditions In the other states, or in Eng
land. She should not be mentioned in
the same breath with Susan B. Anthony
and Elizabeth Cady Stanton, who stud
led conditions for fifty years, and made
them, too.
There Is no Justice IN talking about
what some women, or most women, or
any woman wants. The question is the
right of women, who are recognized as
citizens, to the ballot. This thing has to
be settled by the wishes, the votes of
men. When will men want the ballot
for women? When they do it will come
with rush, and women will learn the
lesson Of the ballot.
