The VineIand Banks

Perhaps no line of business in Vine
land has made such remarkable strides
du'ing the past fe years as that of
banking, without "a corresponding in
crease in population or volume of BUSH
ness in other lines of activity. The
banks have grown and prospered won
derfully, which is best explained by
the fact that the people in the commu-
nifty have come to appreciate the safety
and convenience of banking instead of
boarding their money in the old-fash-
Toned way. Only a comparatively few
wears ago, we had but one banking
house with a small line of deposits.
We now have three with aggregate de-
posits of more than Twelve Hundred
Thousand Dollars. The capital, sur
plus and undivided profits amount to
about 1927 900, and the funds are be-
lieved TO be invested in safe and un-
quest enable securities. No doubt the
liberal policy adopted by the banks
with respect to newspaper advertising,
has had much to do with their remark
able growth and success. The people
are to be congratulated upon the fact
that the business of these important
public institutions is managed in so
able and conservative a

Move for a City

The people who reside in the three
boroughs on Five Mile Beach are now
discussing the question of consolidating
them into a fourth class city to be
knownas Wild wood-by-the-Sea. Those
who are principally agitating this
movement are the liquor dealers who
were informed at the last term ofCourt
by Judge Swayze that, having been
indicted in September for illegal Sun
day selling, they would not be granted
a license for one year. If a fourth class
city is formed the matter of licenses
will be taken out of the hands of the
Court and vested in the City Council
where they would expect to receive a
license Immediately. On the other
hand, Wildwood was founded as a tenn
perance resort and it is probable that
many of those who have property in
terests there will oppose the proposed
consolidation. The matter as to
whether the resorts should be consol-
idated will be discussed publicly in the
borough hall at Wild wood on Satur-
day evening, Jan. 20, when Sheriff
Bright will lead the discussion against
consolidation and Judge Voorhees, will
be the leader in favor of consolidation.

JUDGE DENIES DIVORCE;
EXT0LS THE HUSBAND
WIFE ADMITS SPOUSE WAS GOOD
TO THEIR CHILD
Couple Fall Out Because Mother In
sisted on Holding a Job-Latter
Spurns Liege Lords Offer of Re-
cancellation in Court Room

"When a man can be n good father
to his 4-year-old daughter; when he
cares for the little one with such love
and tenderness that even his wife asks
that the custody of the baby be
awarded to him, that man cannot have
much bad in him and therefore he will
be good to his wife if she does her
part. This divorce will be denied"
Such was the decision of Judge Mon
roe in department six of the superior
court yesterday in the petition for di-
Vorce of Mrs. Grace Eley from John
Eley.
The couple married at San Francisco
June 20, 1897. Their married life was
unmarried by domestic difficulties until
they came to Los Angeles a few years
ago. Since that time there has been
constant war in the household, which
concluded with separation and the pc
tition for divorce.
Yesterday when the case came up
for trial Judge Monroe asked where
the husband was and IIley arose from
a seat in the courtroom and announced
that he did not file any answer to his
wife's complaint because he could not
afford to hire an attorney, but that he
had a little speech he would like TO
make when the time came.
What Anglers Husband
Then Mrs. Eley testified that her
husband had become angered because
she went to work and because her
sister was at his home and that he
had continually quarreled with her,
had choked, beaten and kicked her and
had made her life miserable.
The sister corroborated the evidence,
and then Mrs. Eley asked the court
to grant the custody of the baby to
the father.
He has always been a good father
and cared for the child better than L
could. He loves the baby and could
give it more attention than l would
be able to bestow upon it," said the
mother.
This divorce will be denied" said
Judge Monroe. 81 don't believe that

Eley attempted to make a speech.

SAYS HUSBAND LEFT WITH ALL

Granted Yesterday in the

While his wife was enjoying the
tournament of roses last year and his
friends were wondering what had be-
come of him, Frank ID. Henry of ST.
Louis was hurriedly packing his per-
sonal belongings in his little Los An
geles cottage for return trip to his
native state. Yesterday Mrs. Louisa
M. Henry told her troubles to Judge
James in department seven of the SUI
periOr court and was granted an in
terlocutory decree of divorce.
The trouble started on January O.
1905, at the tournament of roses in
Pasadena" testified Mrs. Henry yes
terday. I'VE were married in st. Louis
in 1901 and came to Los Angeles some
time later to fix up little home for
ourselves.
well, when the time for the tourna-
ment of roses came around l mem
toned that l would like to go to Pas
adena and see the sights.
MY husband insisted on my going,
but said he didn't care to accompany
me. L said l didn't care to go if he
didn't. We had little argument about
it, and at last he said, We'll, 1 want
you. to see the tournament of roses so
will go along with you
ION the morning of January we got
ready and started for Pasadena. AS
usual the cars were crowded, and as
more people kept getting on he be-
came separated from me, and when
left the car at Pasadena 1 searched
everywhere for him. Surprising he had
missed me in the crowd 1 had hopes of
finding him before evening but in this
L failed.
when L reached home he was there.
He told me he grew tired and jumped
off the car and returned home The
next morning he told me not to get up
that he would get breakfast and then
leave for Riverside as he had some
work there.
''All his personal belongings, except
the clothes he wore, were locked up
in a valise in the trunk and L noticed
he didn't carry a valise when he left
the house. so 1 supposed he would re-
turn in a few days.
Several hours later I met one of my
neighbors and she told me that my
husband had left, taking his valise
with him. 1 tried to open the trunk,
where my things were, but it was
locked 1 then went to the bank to
see if $500, which 1 had saved up, was
still there, but it was gone.
THE next day L received the keys to
the trunk from my husband and on the
tag attached to the keys was the fol-
lowing sentence:
t" Next time you get married take
better care of your money"

P|NG-PONC|NG
TIRES ROBINSON
ASKS MAYOR TO WITHDRAW
HIS NAME
City's Executive Says Action Will Re-
lieve Situation Growing Out of
Public Works Board
Deadlock

Tired of having his name banded
from mayor to council and back again
like a ping-pong ball, Lester l.. Rob-
inson, one of the candidates for the
board of public works whom the mayor
has persistently sent to the council for
confirmation, yesterday wrote an open
letter to Mayor McAleer asking him to
withdraw his name from any further
states he might submit
Mr.. RobinsOns letter is as follows:
The council at its last meeting haV-
ing again refused TO confirm my name
for position on the board of public
works and it being clearly evident thar
my name thereon is preventing the
confirmation of a board by the council,
therefore request that my name be
withdrawn from any further consd-
Grafton by you.
ALLOW me at this time to thank you
most heartily for the honor you de-
sire to confer upon me and to say that
L appreciate it fully, and had l been
favored with confirmation L should
have endeaVored to perform the duties
of the office in such a manner as to
bring credit upon your administration
as well as upon myself"
Relieves the Situation
In stating that his name on the states
probably withheld the council from
confirming the mayors nominations,
Mr.. Robinson Is believed to have sized
up the situation correctly, to certain
extent at least.
While the council does not approve
OF e. Il. Perkins as a member of the
board it is less prejudiced against him
than 1t is against Mr.. Robinson.
The council has used its little ham,
mer on ten states submitted for the
board of public works and on nine of
these has appeared Mr. Robinsons
name. Mr.. Robinson is a member Of
Mayor McAleer's fire board and one Of
his personal friends. He also is u per-
sonal friend OF Senator Bulla.
When Mayor McAleer gave out Mr..
Robinson's letter for publication 1t was
evident that he felt relieved to a GER
tain extent.
This will relieve the situation a lit
tie, at least" said the mayor. This was
his only comment, but he let II be
known that he would respect Mr.. Rob-
inson's wishes.
