Although three steam railroads ano
the Pacific Electric railway carried peo-
pie by tens of thousands to and from
Pasadena New Years day not one acci-
dent in which person was injured has
been reported. This is considered re-
markable by railroad officials when the
large number Of passengers is taken
into consideration.
The largest crowd was at the Hunt
ington station between 8 and 10 O'CLOCK
in the morning, where hundreds waited
for the gates to open to allow them tc
board the cars.
The Pacific Electric railway company
is unable to give even an estimate OF
the people who rode over its lines tc
attend the tournament as yet. The re-
ports of the conductors are so bulky
that it will take the officials two or
three days to audit them.

nearly twice the number of passengers
that were carried by the road last year
The trains left Los Angeles every flf-
teen minutes during the rush and were
filled by the people who cared more fol
comfort than for the quickest service.
The Salt Lake ran seven special trains
each way and had about $500 passengers
on the trains en- route for Pasadena
The officials said yesterday that nearly
twice this number returned by thCr
trains.
The Salt Lake also ran a solid train
from Long Beach composed of five cars
which were filled.

NEW YORK, Jan. 1.-Two gutter
skulking, plebeian, characterless yellow
dogs, in no wise attached to any insur
ance company, put real countess in
imminent peril of death, caused coach
man to fall from his box, policeman to
be pulled out of his saddle and a chauf-
feur TO smash the speed ordinance after
running over the policeman.
The dogs met in an overturned gar
bage can in SiXty-sixth street near
Broadway, and soon the can was gyrat-
ing wildly out on the asphalt. The
Countess Eula de Potulica and her
brother Alfred Norris of 1856 West End
avenue, were in a closed carriage driven
by their coachman, Thomas Griffin The
horses bolted and Griffin was thrown
from his seat and was not hurt. AT
Columbus Circle the mad, galloping
team was overhauled by Mounted
Policeman Roth. He grasped the rein
and was pulled out of his saddle and
dragged a block. AS he let go, bruised
and bleeding, a motor car ran over his
leg, and that car whizzed out of sight
in a jiffy. Bicycle Policeman Thomas
GUILTY was next knocked down on try
ing to stop the runaway. Mounted
Policemen Moran and Cahill caught the
horses at Fiftieth street and Eighth

"WG CAN'T STOP GAMBLING In
LOS ANGELES" ADMITS MAYOR

1--WE can't stop gambling in this
city"
In a low voice and with his chin quiv-
ering as IL he realized the weakness
of the assertion. Mayor McAleer made
this statement yesterday morning as
he presided as chairman of the po-
lice commission.
The mayors statement was made
i'm the course Of the commission's dis
cussion of the application of I. M. Par.
ker for a license to conduct a billiard
room at $40 East Fifth street.
Parker previously had held license
at the same place, but It was revoked
December 5 on the presentation OF the
chief of police that gambling had beer
permitted in his place.
He appeared before the police COM
missinon yesterday morning with ar
application to have his license renew
ed and in the course of his plea saio
no gambling had been permitted II
his place, but that players had useo
checks on his cigar stand for wagers
and as far as the gambling feature
was concerned his place had been con-
Quoted better than any other in the
city, as he had made personal inves-
tigation of q large number of billiard
halls and found gambling going or
unrestricted in them.
This assertion brought Commissions
James to his feet With a glare OF rage
in his eye.

Family troubles Of long standing
were aired in court yesterday In the
suit of John A. Abbott against his Sis
ter, Mrs. Selma Ives, for $1,000 alleged
to be due on note.
Petty sduabbles OF various natures
were gone over and explained, The
note on which Judgment was asked
was originally given by Mrs Ives to
her mother, Mrs. Merced Abbott 1t
was afterward given to her son, John
A. Abbott, bv Mrs. Abbott.
The attorney for the defense dilated
on the inexperience of Mrs. Ives in the
business world and asked that iudg-
ment be returned on moral grounds In
distinction to the purely legal phases
of the case. The lawyer for the plain
tiff said that inasmuch as Mrs. Ives
has been married five times in seven
or eight years and has been proprietor
of lodging houses i'm almost every city
on the coast, her ingenuousness as far
as knowledge Of business usages was
concerned was hardly shown.
Mrs. Abbott testified that she had
not spoken to her daughter for fifteen
years and the reason that she had not
asked her daughter for the money in
stead of bringing suit was that she
would under no circumstances speak to
Mrs. Ives.
The contention made by the defense
was that Mrs Ives had no value re-
ceived for the note and that she only
gave 1t in confidence, but that was
exploded by the other side, which said
that note was not capable of ex-
planation and therefore the intention
of Mrs. Ives in giving the note could
not be considered.
Judgment for the full amount Of the
note with interest at 10 nor cent from
1901, the date appearing on the face of
the note, was allowed by Judge James
of department seven Of the superior
court.

Special to The Herald
KANSAS CITY, Mo-, Jan. 2.-Hugh
Brady, police judge, is frequently an
noyed, he says, by vaudeville actors
who use his name a little too vaguely
in their local hits" So the judge
stopped a turn which a pair of fun
makers, man and woman, were pre-
senting on the stage of one of the
vaudeville theaters in the city.
In this turn an usher rushed up to the
stage and handed letter over the foot
lights to the woman.
What is that?" asked the man,
sternly.
aha! mash note from Judge
Brady" said the woman.
That's a good thing. 1t may save
you from saying, Good morning,
judge" was her partners reply. But
this was lost amid the roar of laughter
caused by the sound of Judge Brady's
name.
1T was too much" said the judge. "I
couldn't stand for it. / warned the
manager to stop the turn or 1 would
stop the show. 1t was stopped.
1T is enough for a cigarmaker to
have my picture on the drop curtain
where the funny men with slapjacks
never miss chance Of 'rapping' it."

TRENTON, N. j., Jan. 2.-The fact
that the wife let flies into the dining

ing plates and dishes at her, and when
she stopped to pick them up and put
them back on the table, she says, he
kicked and beat her.
Mrs. O'Brien says in her bill that ever
since their marriage her husband has
treated her cruelty, beating and kick
ing her. Once, she says, he threw her

lDI0SYNCRASIES
Woman ls Granted a Conditional Dl.
vorce Decree After Describing
Mans Habits and Brutal
Treatment

my husband told me that he was
too mean to live with anybody, so /
thought that 1 had better get a di-
vorce," was the startling statement
made by Mrs. Johanna Elledge yes
terday in Judge Trask's department
Of the superior court.
II was willing to stand the abuse
that he would give me, but when 1t
came to beating and swearing at my
children that was too much for me to
stand. My husband was drinking
man; he used morphine, he swore at
me horribly and threatened to kill me.
There Is nothing that Is bad that he
did not do" said Mrs. Elledge in tes-
tifying against her husband, Joseph
Elledge, from whom she was apply
ing for n divorce.
HE would do the oldest things"
Mrs. Elledge continued. "One night
he came home and had been drinking,
and he came into our room and said,
Don't you think It is awfully warm
in here?' / told him l didn't think 1t
was. We'll it is,' he said, and went
out in the yard and slept on a bale
of hay. That is only sample of the
curious things he would 10.
His actions made me so nervous
that L was sick half of the time, and
when I was not feeling well he would
swear at me and tell me that I was
just putting on and was really not
sick at all.
Child Gives Testimony
''He was addicted to the use of
morphine, and when l found his
needles that he used to inject the stuff
into himself with ! would burn them
up. 1 think that I destroyed twenty
or thirty that way That made him
furious, too, and he threatened to kill
me If ] ever did it again.
THE first day we were married he
said to me. 4 don't think that 1 like
you very well after ALL 1 thought
that he was fooling then, but from
what afterward developed l guess that
he was in earnest"
Mrs. Elledge had been married once
before and was divorced from her first
husband also. The grounds upon
which the first divorce was obtained
were desertion and failure to provide.
There were two children by her first
marriage.
Both of the children were called to
the stand to testify as to the language
that Elledge had used toward their
mother The youngest child was a boy
of about seven years, and after he had
told of some of the vile phrases used
toward his mother, he cried piteously
and would say no more.
Mrs. Elledge and her husband were
married in February, 1906 in Los An
gees and lived together only a few
months. The action for the divorce
was brought on the grounds of deser-
ton, failure to provide and cruelty
The decree was granted on the testi-
mony of Mrs. Elledge and her two
