POVERTY STALKS
IN OLD ENGLAND
AZUSA RANCHER PREFERS HIS
ADOPTED COUNTY
Public Houses Invite Tipplers, Land
lords Wrest Taxes, Courts Drag
on, and There's No Place
Like America

"Ill take the United States every
time for mine--I have just been to
England after a long voyage and 1 am
content to stick in California"
Such are the sentiments inspired in
Jack Wyatt, one of Britain's tried
soldiers, bullet-scarred and medaled,
but who has for years settled down to
the pastoral life of an orange rancher
at the foot of the magnificent Sierra
Madres at Azusa.
Wyatt was addressing some English
men in Los Angeles and they looked at
him aghast.
There's too much poverty in Eng
land to suit me; all you see is poverty
or by contrast the landlords grasping
wealth while thousands and thousands
starve.
mo more of the old country for me.
1 find my adopted California fills all
the cravings man needs, and it gives
him independence besides to live in
this country.
"They talk about graft in America.
Why England is all graft. Its graft
and stave off the poor house all your
life.
Inheritance In Oranges
II am just back few days from the
British islands, my object being to set
tie up an estate there. l inherited
few thousand a few years ago and in
vested the sum profitably in oranges.
"For twenty years the estate has
been in the chancery court there. We
figured on getting $4,000 for each
heir, but so far the lawyers have eaten
up $4,000 on each $4,000 and we are
wondering at the present rate how long
it will take them to get the balance.
"It reminds me of a story they tell of
an old English lawyer. Retiring from
the profession he willed a chancery
case to his son, thinking thus to favor
him. 1t was old litigation and the
proud father a few weeks after was
surprised when his son made advances
to him to get more money to carry him
along.
"fWhy. what of the old chancery
case left YOU? asked the parent.
"'Why, / settled that in hurry and
l got my fee, but l need more funds
"Foolish young man, said the par
ent ehidingly. L would have lived on
that case the rest of my life'
"Chancery cases there last through
generations and help to maintain the
army of genteel pettifoggers There is
little justice there but much law
Women Beg
However, the absolute, grinding
poverty is what appalled, me there
most. You see 1t everywhere.

NATURAL SOIL is FAVORED
Change In Specifications for Improv-
Ing South Olive Street
Is Asked

Petitions to change the specifications
for the improvements of South Olive
street between Thorpe street and YER
non avenue was filed with the city
clerk yesterday, asking that natural soil
be used In place of gravel.
The petitions set forth that all the
streets in the section Of the city near
the mentioned streets are of natural
soil except Moneta avenue. The four
teen citizens who have signed the pc
titions claim the substitution of natural
soil for gravel will be great saving
Of expense TO the property owners.

CHANGE DIVORCE
LAW IS PROPOSED
PROSPECTIVE LEGISLATORS
ARE DRAWING PLANS
Effort Is to Be Made to Prevent East
erners Taking Advantage of the
Imperfect Statutes of
California

Alarmed by the unusual number of
partments of the superior court have
been afflicted during the past week,
local attorneys and candidates for
seats in the coming legislature are
carefully planning some new divorce
law whereby eastern petitioners can
be kept from forcing ;heir unwelcome
and decidedly soiled linen on fair Los
Angeles.
During the pas, week more divorces
were granted than are usually signed
in the ordinary court month. Last
Monday six DEGREES were granted and
two were denied. There were five more
on Tuesday and an annulment of mar
riage. On Wednesday six more were
added to the list and Thursday did it's
part by witnessing the granting of five
more Friday and Saturday witnessed
the same proceedings with twelve is
sued, so that when the calendar for the
week had been closed the clerks gasped
as they filed heavy bundles in the
clerks office and looked grudgingly at
the many hard names mentioned in
the statements.
But the petitions have been pouring
in at such an alarming rate for the
past few weeks that the legislators
have decided to remedy the condition
at any cost.
Shut Off the Fasteners
It is now proposed to establish di-
worse law providing that a divorce
cannot be granted in, the state of Cali
fornia unless the cause of action oc-
CURED in this state,
That act -effectually would keep out
the easterners who come to California
purposely to get divorces. far away
from their homes, but in many cases
1t would work hardships on those east
erners who come here to make their
homes and later sue for divorce.
The plan h. S been used in several
states. but many local attorneys are
opposed TO 1t. The present divorce
laws, according to the statements Of
nearly all the attorneys of Los An
geles, are most defective, inasmuch
as confusion invariably occurs in some
form or other before the final DEGREES
have been filed.
On the other hand. local attorneys
state that California is becoming noted
as a dumping ground" for divorce
cases, and at the meeting Of the next
viii be attempted.
Favors Universal Law

ditions yesterday Attorney Paul Ussher,
a well-known member of the Los Ans
