CONSPIRACY TALK GROWS
Walter H. Jones Divorce and Main-
tenance Case Brings Up ln-
terestlng Points

A complaint charging conspiracy to
defraud may be issued by the district
attorney against Mrs. Ethel Jones, who
recently filed suit for divorce and
maintenance Of $500 a month against
her alleged husband, Walter H. Jones,
before Judge York in department three
of the superior court.
Yesterday the case came up for hear
ing on an order to show cause filed
by Mrs. Jones' attorney. When the
case came up the woman's attorney
did not appear while attorneys repre-
senting the millionaire cattle king of
New Mexico stated that Jones had
never been married to the woman and
that it was a conspiracy on her part
to obtain money from him.
"This will probably be- turned over
to the district attorney for investiga-
ton" said Judge York as he dismissed
the motion for money.

RUSHING WORK ON
WASHOUT REPAIRS
SALT LAKE LAVISH WITH MEN
AND SUPPLIES
HercuIean Efforts Made to Undo the
Work of Storms-Track Laying
Records Broken In Stretches Where
Roadbed Was Damaged

Although the Salt Lake road has been
unfortunate in having washouts which
have completely paralyzed the line as
far as through business is concerned,
it is very fortunate, say railroad men,
in having officials who are experts in
the work of repairing damaged track.
All records for relaying track were
broken during the washouts which oc-
Cured some few weeks ago and the
reputation is being sustained during the
present trouble.
General Manager Wells Is superin-
tending the repair work from the west
end and kilograms received yesterday
by local officials said that thirty and
half miles of work have been done and
that he Is now at work with a large
force of men twenty-nine miles west Of
Caliente.
Superintendent Van Houser of the
Salt Lake City division is overseeing
the work on the east end of the washed
out track and now has headuarters at
CaIiente and Is working each wayfrom
that town.
II is expected that the line will be
open for through traffic by April 8.
While the work in places is only tenn
porary it will allow the passage Of
trains at low speed.
Some of the worst damage was done
near Leith, where Mr.. Wells Is now
working. Supplies and men have been
secured along the line and have been
sent out from both Salt Lake City and
Los Angeles
officials of the road say that they can
not give any conservative estimate as
to what the washouts will cost the road
in repair work and business, but in
their opinion it will be over a million
dollars.
One OF the officials jokingly said yes
terday that Senator Clark would have
to put on an extra shift in one Of his
copper mines for a little while to make
I'D for the loss.

SHOP AND TAVERNS HAD AN
EARLY CLOSING
Friday Morning Club Hears Many
Pleasing "Reminiscences
From a Man Who
Knows

The result of City Clerk Harry Le-
lande's research in the archives of Los
Angeles, given before the Friday Morn
ing club yesterday morning, brought
to the notice of the club many inter-
esting facts about the early days when
Los Angeles was nothing more than
Mexican pueblo.
Some of the more amusing of the old
laws are the following which were
passed in 1850:
"Whosoever brings cattle into the
city must have them tied to tame oxen
and attended to by one or more con-
ductors, so as to prevent the cattle DO
ing any damage; should any be done,
however, the conductor or conductors
shall be held responsible for the same.
"Every owner of a shop or tavern as
we'll as everybody that lives In a house
of two or more rooms, shall put a llgnt
in the door of said premises during
the first two hours of every dark night.
EVERY shop or tavern shall close IN
winter at o'clock and in summer at
8 o'clock at night.
"Riding at a furious rate through
the streets of the city is prohibited.
"Washing clothes in the zanjaS winch
furnish water for common use is pro-
hibited. :,
"Whoever should walk the streets In
scandalous attire or molest the neigh
bors with yells or in any other man.

FIND HIM GUILTY OF
RUNNING BUCKET SHOP
STOCK BROKER EXPECTS TO APP
PEAL CASE
Defendant Introduces Testimony That
He Was at His Mothers Funeral
When the Stock Ticket Was
Issued

B. H. LAWYER. a stock broker with
offices in the Merchants Trust build
ing, was found guilty Of running a
bucket shop last evening by jury
in Justice Austin's court.
LAWYER made q strong fight against
conviction, and testimony was intro
duced to show that he was at his
mothers funeral at the time he was
said to have issued a contract or ticket
for the purchase of stock.
A brother, Charles LAWYER, the office
telegraph operator, was one Of the
witnesses.
The evidence upon which the de-
fendant was convicted was furnished
by Detective H. B. Wallace and Pa
trolman Adams. Both men said that
they had purchased several thousand
bushels of wheat on margins, and they
told the jury how the transactions
were consummated.
They said that the deals were never
made through a Chicago commission
house, but simply "bucketed" in the
office and that no transactions were
legitimate, but simply gambling
proposition as between the dealer and
his clients.
City Prosecutor Beebe was assisted
by Guy Eddie, and Davis Rush and
Willis appeared for the defense.
The defendant will appear in court
this morning for sentence, and 1t is
probable that the case will be appealed
to the higher courts.

BIT OF PAPER BLOCKS CARS
Passenger Wanted Transfer, Was
Elected and Detectives Took
Him and Bystander

A fight between street car con-
ductor and a passenger caused q DOCK
ade on South Broadway yesterday
morning and resulted in Detectives
Hawley and Mckenzie escortfng the
passenger, Max Miller, and a man who
protested to the police station. Both
were turned loose.
Miller, a tourist from Portland,
boarded Boyle Heights car No. 265, In
charge of Conductor o. A. Pierce, at
Seventh and Olive streets, and after
paying his fare asked for Pico
Heights transfer. The conductor re-
fused to issue one, saying that the
company would not give transfer
under the circumstances.
Miller insisted that either transfer
be given him or that his nickel should
be returned. The conductor did not
look kindly on either proposition and
after the car turned onto Broadway
he attempted to put the aggrieved pas
senger off the car.
A struggle ensued, and when the car
stopped a crowd Immediately collected
and the South Broadway lines were
piling up a string of cars. the block
ade extending for several blocks. De-
tectives Hawley and Mckenzie strolled
I'D to inquire into the reason for the
crowd and at once seized the passen-
ger.
A bystander who asked that the off,
GERS display their stars was told that
they would do so at headquarters, and
he, too, was taken there.
Later Conductor Pierce appeared at
the station and inquired anXiously If
the passenger had been arrested.
The conductor claimed that Miller
had used vulgar language in the pres
ence of women and that that was one
reason for ejecting him.

MRS. Y0AKUM DIS0BEYED
Wifely Devotion Caused Her to
Travel to Husbands Bedside
by Special Trains

"Wait for me in Los Angeles" wired
B. T.. Yoakum, chairman of the execu-
tive committee of the Rock Island and
Frisco systems, to his wife here when
he was going to be operated upon in
New York city for appendicitis.
What did she do? Wait over 1000
miles away when she did not know but
that she might never see him alive
again?
On the contrary, she Immediately or
dered a special train and was carried
across the continent as fast as relays
of engines and crews could take her
Her wifely devotion overcame all of
her fear of displeasing Mr.. Yoakum
because she had disobeyed his orders.
Mr.. Yoakum is very much of a busi-
ness man and his associates were afraid
to tell him that Mrs. Yoakum was COM
ing for fear that he would be VeXed.
People arc now wondering if this is
not another case of "tell woman to
do something and she will do the op-
posite."

OIL CART GOES AT FULL SPEED
Main Street Is the Scene of an
Exciting Runaway and

Driving down crowded Main street
at full tilt yesterday afternoon, A. V.
Coats, driver of one of the Standard
Oil four-horse oil carts, allowed his
wagon to run into a frail buggy be-
longing to the Eagle livery, and driven
by w. r. Hubbard. The wheels of the
light rig were cracked off and If it had
not been for the presence of mind of
Hubbard, who was driving, he must
have been hurt as the box of the buggy
tipped down onto the pavement.
Coats denied that he was to blame for
the accident, but bystanders. among
whom was William Bernard of the Be
lasco stock company, stated that it was
absolutely the fault of the driver of
the Standard Oil wagon. The number
of the Oil wagon was 144.
