was at this battle Col Washington

wit as well as bravery, for by the

because he could not make a speech.
The oldest Washington document is
probably a deed answering to our
mortgage, executed by William de
Washington, the last of the family to
hold estates in the county of Durham.
The document is in Latin, dated 1876.
1t was brought to America about a
dozen years ago. The deed and seal
attached to it are in perfect condi-
ton. One interest in the document
is that the seal has the arms used by
Washington and his family, from
which the arms of the United States
were adopted in 1776. 1t might be
said of the seal that it is an impress
sion of the American coat-of-arms.

bird of freedom. The motto is the
same as that of the Northampton and
Lancashire arms.
According to one coat-ofarms, that
of Sir William Washington of Pack
ington, genealogists would have us be-
lieve that George Washington is de-
scended from Edward III of Engi.nd,
David, the lion king of Scotland, and
Hugh Capet, king of France. Sir
Williams arms have six quarterings.
One is that of an ancestor who mar
ried Eleanor Hastings; another that OF
the family of the marquis of Sails.

At late hour last evening the life

Mrs. Wilson says that she has abso-

without the necessaries Of life.
Regarding the statement made that
Miss Clara George, who had been at the
Wilson home, had been the cause of the
separation, Mrs. Wilson would have
nothing to say. 1t is reported that the
engagement of Miss George with
Robert Norling, which was broken on

used for starting the engine and for
the whistle and air brake. Storage
batteries are used for the sparkling
apparatus on the start and after the
car Is in motion a dynamo is used for
this purpose.
The car is lighted by acetylene gas
and an electric bell Is used for warm
ing signal at street crossings. Electric
bells are also used by the conductor
to give signals to the motorman.
The car was brought from Omaha,
where 1t was built by N. S. Young, an
engineer for the Southern Pacific, and
G. Seager, an engineer for the Union
Pacific, whose business it is to deliver
the cars.
The coach is flfty-six feet eight inches
long and ten feet wide. The engine is
capable of developing a speed of ninety
miles an hour and of climbing a grade
that is 200 feet to the mile.
The engineers said last night that
they made the entire trip without a
mishap to the machinery and in very
good time. A distance of 295 miles was
covered Monday in eleven hours, many
minutes of which time was taken UP
on side tracks waiting for regular
trains to pass.

CHAIN GANG To
BUILD STOCKADE
POLICE COMMISSION ASKS
FOR FUNDS
BY Compromise Appropriation Money
Will Come From General Budget.
Chief Recommends Four
New Citations

The police commission yesterday de-
cided to ask the city council for an
appropriation sufficient to build a
stockade as n corral for prisoners of
the chain gang. The commission will
first have plans and specifications
drawn to ascertain the amount of
money needed and ask the city legis-
lators to make the necessary approprl-
alton in the general budget the first
Of the fiscal year.
This plan was adopted as a COM
promise on a plan suggested by the
chief of police. In a communication
to the commission yesterday the chief
stated that as the council was about
to ask for another bond election for
bridges and sewers that the question
of bonds for additional substations
be voted on at the same time.
The chief recommended stations in
Boyle Heights, the Vernon district, Pico
Heights and the northwestern section
of the city. He declared that while
the city had grown at an enormous
rate the police department had prac-
tically stood still until it was only
with the greatest difficulty it could
meet the requirements placed on it.
The stockade was the idea of the
mayor and is one he has cherished
ever since he has been in office In
this he is heartily supported by Com
missioner Mason.
When the finance committee made up
the last annual budget it seemed that
the mayors dream would be realized,
for $4,000 was appropriated for the
purpose of erecting this stockade. The
demands Of the street department,
however. caused the finance committee
to change its mind and this money
was placed at the disposal of the street
superintendent and has chiefly been
used in repairing bridges.
The mayors plan is to use some city
land as a site for the stockade and
have the prisoners do most of the
work of building their own quarters.
In this way, he believes, the cost Of
the structure could be reduced to a
minimum. Commissioner Mason has
the same idea and yesterday expressed
belief that the stockade could be
erected for about $4,000

died at the receiving hospital an hour

Following the fatal accident the
motorrnan Of the San Pedro street

a minor affair, as the impact of the

Police state that witnesses to the af-

parently waiting for q car. AS the
northbound electric neared the crossing
the elderly man leaped forward and
crossed the southbound track ana stood

CHARGES ADLER
WITH B|CAMY
FORE'ER WIFE MAKES THE
COMPLAINT
Woman Alleges Husband Married IN
Mexico While Interlocutory De-
cree 10 lmpending-Attorney
VIII Investigate

A charge OF blgamy may be preferred
against Frank Adler, Los Angeles
merchant, as a result of his sensational
divorce from his wife, Sophie Adler,
several weeks ago, when he charged
her with having abducted Lena BrocheS
and taken her to Baltimore for i'm
moral purposes.
The alleged abduction of the Brooches
girl occurred about two months ago.
At that time the girl was living within
two doors of the Adlers' home, ana
when both disappeared from theT
homes one night, it was charged the
oman had kidnapped the girl ana lieu
to Baltimore with her.
rrhey were arrested there upon their
arrival and the girl came back TO Los
Angeles and told a peculiar story OF
having been taken away from her home
by hypnotic force.
JTpon the girls evidence and his own,
Adler was granted divorce December
Ia by Judge Trask in department. tour
of the superior court. Two weeks ago
n letter was received from Mrs. Adler
in which she stated her husband was
a Russian and that he had always
treated her cruelty and compelled her
to live in filth and poverty, while ne
sent money back to his people in Rus
STA.
Wife Makes Charges
She further charged him with having
deserted her when their baby was dying
with diphtheria and with having at
tempted to kill her.
Yesterday she filed more serious
charge against her husband in letter
to Judge Trask. The missive was given
to the district attorney and commum
cation between the woman and that
office commenced.
The letter is as follows:
"I want the law to hold my husband
He is not divorced from me, for he
went to the City of Mexico during our
married life and was married to a girl
from Frisco. He married her Decem-
Der 25, and as he is not legally di-
vorced from me for one year after he
obtains his interlocutory decree of d.
vorce, / want him prosecuted to the
full extent of the law. You can secure
proof from the Brooches girl, and |
have further proof in letter he wrote
from the City of Mexico to my children
"Please investigate this case at once,
as ! think it is a clear case of bigamy
/ am sick or I would come at once to
Los Angeles"
Los Angeles herald., 1906-01-24

Notwithstanding this suit, some
friends of the couple have hoped that
both would think better of their diff
culties and go back to live with one
another again. But the statement of
Attorney James yesterday is q final
disposal of all theories for a reconcilia-
ton, and 1t is understood that although
two divorce suits filed by the wife have
been Withdrawn. another one may be
filed against her husband in the near
future no matter what the result OF
the present suit Is.
The final arguments in the property
case were heard yesterday before
Judge Bordwell in department nine of
the superior court, and the case taken
under submission.
A verdict will be handed down within
three days.
Attorney Haas, representing Gutter.
opened the argument yesterday and re-
viewed the case and the evidence and
cited several cases in the state law
showing that when 1t was charged
against man or wife that he or she
has recorded a deed without the con-
sent of the owner of the property II
rested with the defense to prove to the
contrary.

with her relatives in the east I'm the
hope that the affair might be settled
without the knowledge Of eastern
friends.
The trained nurse who attended Mrs
Wilson at the birth of the triplets
called at the residence yesterday after
seeing the account of the lines of the
little ones In the paper and remained
during the afternoon. 1t is her opinion
that the little boy cannot long survive,
as continued spasms sap what little
strength remains.
Friends saw Wilson yesterday, who
reiterated his statement that he will
not return to Mrs. Wilson. hut saws
that he will furnish a nurse for the
babies, which he had not done at a. late
hour last evening.
