FORMER HUSBAND ARRESTED.

This morning Walter w. Danforth
was arraigned before Justice J. F
Byers to answer the criminal charge
of failure to properly support and
care for his children.
Yesterday Danforth secured the
custody of the two children who for
some time have been making their
home with his divorced wife who is
now Mrs. Grace Danforth Tharpe.

| ranchman. An account of the

a warrant charging her husband with
criminally failing to properly pro-
I vide for the two children and at the
same time the warrant was served
summons demanding certain compen-
sation from Danforth for the care and
custody of the children was served
upon him also at the instigation of
Mrs. Tharpe.
On being arrested Mr.. Danforth
readily and quickly gave bond for
his appearance in the Justices court
this morning. He was released.
The case was called for trial at
ten O'Clock this morning. The de-
fendant had employed the firm of Me
Mullin and Sternberg to represent
him while the prosecution was con-

attorney, and Deputy District Attor-

number of witnesses were to be in
troduced but Attorney Sternberg for
the defense announced that he had
a statement to make before testimony
was taken. He declared that the
charge was made absolutely with no
cause and that it could not stand in
any court. Danforth had made an
agreement with his wife whereby he
was to pay her so much for the sup
port of the children while they were
in her care and he had lived up to
his agreement in so far as he had sent
her sums of money at various times
when the children were with her.
After Mr.. .Sternberg had finished At
! torney Davis spoke at length show
ing wherein he believed the defend
ant had violated the law and was
liableato criminal prosecution.
After hearing the statement Justice
Byers rendered decision stating
that he did not believe there We're
sufficient grounds for holding the de-
fendant on the charges set forth in
the complaint and then dismissed the
case, and Mr.. Danforth was released.
The demand Tor compensation up
on Mr.. Danforth last night when he
was arrested has been filed with the
county court. Mrs. Tharpe makes
the claim that Danforth owes her
several hundred dollars for providing
and caring for the two children. and
she petitions the court for a judg
ment against him for the amount.
Danforth denies that he is indebted
to his former wife to no such
amount This civil case will not
come for trial for some time.
Mr.. Danforth who secured the two
children yesterday through an order
of the district court will probably
leave tomorrow with the children for
his home in Telluride.
Mr.. Danforth is well known here
and is a successful lumberman.

clare that the matter is not yet at an

IMPROVE THE STREETS

Announcement is made that the board
Of public works recognizing the mex
cusable condition of Los Angeles
streets. has planned a system Of i'm
provement, beginning Immediately, to
include the oiling of sixty miles Of
streets, the replacing Of thousands of
old crossings with new ones, and en-
larged districts for sweeping and
sprinkling.
The announcement comes not a day
too soon. The dust nuisance alone has
already come to be considered an Of
fetal outrage, and the board can build
q monument to itself by suppressiug
this one nuisance, If It never does any
thing greater How can the mass of
our citizens be expected to evince en-
thuslasm for civic ideality when they
are taking in at every breath samples
Of all the nastiness that whirls up from
our insufferably dusty and dirty
streets? As every intelligent person
knows, the germs of most dreaded dis
eases lurk in the dust Of the streets,
and these germs, whirling in the air,
are a menace to the whole community.
And all this is absolutely inexcusa-
BILE. The natural conditions in this city
are unusually favorable for clean
streets and for an atmosphere com
paratively free from noxious particles.
Nine-tenths of the streets in which the
people are gulping dust clouds might
he made free from the deplorable con-
ditions noted by the simple process of
oiling, at comparatively little expense.
That fact is demonstrated by the few
streets thus treated.
And why should the board of public
works condne its operations in the oil
ing line to only sixty miles of streets?
1t is daily shown that sprinkling is a
dead, rank failure. It doesn't accom-
plish the desired purpose and is large
and increasing waste of money-except
where asphaltum has been used to con-
struct the streets. All streets not as
phaltum paved should be first properly
and scientifically oiled. After that, the
need for sprnkling will have beer re-
duced to the minimum and only for the
purpose of reviving the oil.
The board Of public works is on the
right track, however, and it cannot en-
gage itself in better or more impor ant
business than the improvement of the
streets of Los Angeles. Public patience
is stretched mighty near to the swapping
point in this matter, and since the rev.
enues Of the city are to be increased
half million dollars during the next
fiscal year the board of public works
is right in concluding that the most
profitable place to invest the money is
in the streets. More power to the
board

THE GOVERNMENTS ESTIMATE

A federal building for Los Angeles
costing nearly one-third of a million
dollars more than was expected is the
pleasing promise that has just come
from Washington. 1t is reported that
the government officials have fixed an
upset price of $4,000 front foot for the
old postofice property on Main street,
at which figure the sale would yield a
total of $4SO,oOO. The available fund al
ready appropriated for the new build
ing is Ss5O,OOO. which added to $3.50 900
makes a total of $1,3SOOOO
Los Angeles will have a greater and
grander federal building than citizens
have heretofore hoped for. Taking into
account the value of the large plot of
land devoted for the new structure.
Uncle Sam will have a piece of prop
erty worth far above the $1,5OO 600
mark and Los Angeles will have one
of the finest government buildings west
of Chicago and St Louis
But the fact that we are to have an
unexpectedly fine federal building in
this city is not the only interesting
feature of this news from Washington.
Uncle Sam is an excellent Judge of real
estate values, as gauged by Judgment
of present conditions and future pros
poets. The price he has fixed upon as
the minimum value of his Main street
property is much higher than the pub
lie has estimated it. The owners of
contiguous property, it will be remem-
bered, were berated for refusing to sell.
at what seemed to be very high prices,
certain land required for the new
building if the old site had been used.
The figure now said to he demanded
by the government, however, is away
above the prices at which adjoining
land was held by the owners when the
government wanted it,
The figure of $4,000 a front foot for
unimproved property at Main and
Winston streets gives an impressive
object lesson in the advance of Los An
geles realty values within the last
three or four years. No good Judge of
such values would have thought of
marking half the figure now noted for
that property when the project for
building on the old site was first
broached
The government has set a standard
by which general real estate values in
Los Angeles may be measured

OF the question. It is said that 1000
licenses already have been granted to
saloonkeepers. All the saloons that
were ready for business made a prompt
start last Thursday and the rest Of the
1000 will be in full blast as rapidly as
they can he equipped. It Is not stated
whether more than 1000 licenses, about
half the former number, will be issued.
That will depend, probably, upon the
effect OF the mark-up in licenses from
Ss4 to $500 a year, and particularly to
the political pull" of license appli-
Cants.
Persons who are familiar with liquor

SAN FRANCISCO WET AGAIN

For the first time a big American city
will present a comparison between the
civic effect of liquor prohbition--en-
forced by the military-and of the open
door saloon. From the date of the

prohibition city as can be expected i'm
land where "blind pigs" fatten and
thrive i'm spite of laws. Now the sa-
loon business has been resumed there,
not at the old stands, but at such i'm
provised places as may answer for
temporary liquor dispensaries.
AS a showing of the prohibitive ex-
pertinent in San Francisco, the general
statement was made on July that
"since April Is the city has been re-
markaby free from crime few arrests
have been made and the police had
little else TO do than to patrol the
streets" The health department re-
ports, also that during the same period
there has been a remarkable decrease

mate is made that there has been an

couple of dummy dress forms, and
started into the store with them, one

struggled so vigorously that he dropped
them as quickly as he had picked them
up. They were the two young women

by, and found themselves thus uncere-
moniously escorted back to their duty

"Dollar for Dollar" to Be Their
Motto, as Emperor Will

BY Associated Press.


SAN FRANCISCO, July 6.-"German
insurance companies win pay in full"
such is the statement of f.. Bopp,
German consul, temporarily located in
this city, who recently returned from
Germany, where he investigated the
standir of the companies doing busi-
ness on this coast.
II am in q position to know that the
German insurance Compaies will nav
dollar for dollar" said the consul to-
day. and l wish to advise all persons
doing business with a German company
not to accept a compromise. None of
the German companies wishes to be
classed with the 'six-bit concerns.
My knowledge on this point is alb
so-ute. Money to pay off every claim
is on hand. and 1t will be a matter of
but Few days when 1t will arrive"
Mr. Bopp has just concluded an ex-
haustlVe investigation of conditions in
san Francisco the results of which he
mas sent off to his government. While
making no recommendations to the
nome office. the tenor of the report is
unmistakably in favor of the insurance
companies carrying out their obliga-
tlons.
The consul would not commit himself
on the attitude of Emperor William
toward those companies that showed a,
tendency to shave their claims. The
general implication of his remarks
however, was to the effect that the
emperor had practically ordered the
companies to settle on a dollar for dol
lar basis.
