COUNCIL BOARD
GIVES UP FIGHT
CONVINCED THEY HAVE NO
JURISDICTION
Mayor McAIeer VIII Send In Names
Which VIII Promptly Be Acted
Upon by the City LeaIs-
lators

There was no meeting of the council
manic board of public works yesterday,
as the members have become con-
vinced that they have no legal turis-
diction over street improvements and
that their labors in this direction are
ended.
Yesterday the city attorney advised
Willard Goodwin, committee clerk, TO
withhold all bids and other questions
relating to street work from the board
of public works. II that body de-
manded them. on the ground that the
committee has no power to usurp the
duties of the board Of works provided
for In the charter amendment. Mr..
Goodwin was relieved of the emb8r-
rassment of telling the committee he
could do nothing for 1t by. the failure
of any Of the members to put in an
appearance.
BY this action $4,000 worth of street
work now pending is held UP and this
fact Is taken as an Indication that
there will no longer be delay in the
councils acting on board OF works
named by the mayor.
VIII Send Names Monday
The mayor will send three names to
the council Monday and these will
either be Immediately confirmed or re-
fused. The councilmen have practi-
cally promised that there will be no
more of the spirit of Indifference shown,
as they are convinced that they are in
the wrong.
But we cannot accept anyone the
mayor may see fit to name, said Coun-
Gilman Smith yesterday. 1.-THE board
of public works is a most important
position and we must have men who
are capable Of filling 1t. One man must
have entire charge of the street de-
partment and one Of the city en-
gineer's department and one of general
improvements 1t is not everyone that
can fill such position. Certainly the
men the mayor has already named can

lions covered her pretty face with her
shapely hands In dread Of what she
knew was to come.
"Picklei picklei why, what can you
mean, Miss Busch" asked the doc
tor.
"oh, doctor, am IN love with two
men," replied Miss Busch.
why, that shouldn't worry you, my
dear. I know men in love with a.
dozen girls"
Eyes, but doctor, this Is awful. I am
engaged to both. Where will 1t endw
At that point she was hurried into a
carriage and she is still wondering
where It will end.
Changes Her Mind
On leaving Europe Miss Busch prom
Used to cable Lieut.. scharrer, saying
whether or not she would marry him.
In case she decided to link her fate
with the AMY of Germany Lieut..
Scharrer was to come to America Inn
mediately and claim his bride.
Miss Busch had been home only q
few hours when she penned the joyous
message and flashed It across the At
lantic. The young German delayed
not a moment and boarded the first
steamer for America.
No sooner had Miss Busch cabled her
acceptance of the lieutenant than she
began to entertain mlsgivlngs. Then
she regretted her step. She decided to
cable Scharrer not to come, as she
loved another. Her message was too
late; Lieut.. Scharrer had already de-
parted for the American shores to meet
and claim his bride.
On his arrival in St Louis Miss Busch
again regretted the step she had taken.
On sight of Lieut.. Scharrer the misgiv-
ings disappeared like an early morning
mist before glorious sunrise. She
knew then that happiness lay but in
her marriage to Lieut. Scharrer. She
would delay no longer.
Fall to Get License
Lieut.. Scharrer and Miss Busch de-
parted at once for Belleville. ILL.,, the
Gretna Green of St Louis. Direct to a
hotel they went and registered. They
arrived early in the morning and de-
cided to secure their marriage license
just before nightfall so as to keep their
marriage a secret from the newspapers
until they had gotten well started on
their honeymoon.
Basking under the sunshine of each
others smiles and cooling honeyed
words into each others ears, the wheels
of the soldiers watch became clogged
with the sweetness, and when the pair
a big black sign only greeted them:
"Will open tomorrow at 0 a. M
Outcome Is Unforeseen
There was but one thing left for the
young lovers to do--to return to Miss
Busch's home and explain their absence
to Papa and Mamma Busch. This they
did, and a few days later Mrs. Adolphus
Busch, with her daughter carefully
tucked under her shielding wings, de-
parted for the winter mansion in Pasa-
dena.
What mamma counsels is not known.
Papa is very emphatic about his views.
Wilhelmina is said to have hers, al
though the report is that she says:
81 love Teddy but duty tells me to
choose Eugene" and while she strolls
through the orange lined pathways Of
the Busch mansion In Pasadena she
droops her head and meekly follows
where the splendid soldier leads her.
What will happen when papa arrives
remains to be seen. Some say that as
a guest in his private car may possibly
be Eugene II. Angert.

MISS BUSCH'S LOVE AFFAIRS
IN A TANGLE
Daughter Of st. Louis Millionaire Torn
by contendlng Emotlons--Friend
Says She Still Fsvors
M Lawyer

If pretty Miss Wilhelmina Busch,
the rumored fance or Lieutenant Ed
ward Scharrer, could make UP her
mind as to which of two men she loved
the most she would not be such an
unhappy girl. While she strols about
in the spacious gardens surrounding
the Busch mansion I'm Pasadena with
her hands tightly clasped by those of
the handsome German officer, her head
droops She is in deep thought What
she is saying to herself can only be
conjectured. To one of her dearest
friends she has said:
"I don't know which I love the most.
my dear. cannot begin to decide
whom I shall marry. My heart and
soul goes out to one, yet honor and
duty tells me to marry another"
Is the one to whom her heart goes
out Eugene H. Angert. lawyer of
st. Louis? That young man who.
since he first met the heiress of the
Budweiser millions, has stepped from
obscurity to fame, is the choice of
papa Busch. In the aristocratic win
ter colony of Pasadena it is reported
that no wedding bells shall ring, at
least not for a while, in Difference to
the elder Busch's wishes.
Gardeners Stand Guard
The dashing German lieutenant who
has engaged a gorgeous suite of rooms
in the Hotel Green, is like an impen-
etrable steel wall to all inquirers. His
stereotyped reply is always:
TITS nobody's business; our affairs
are our own"
At the Hotel Green he is seen only
during the earliest hours of the morn
ing, when the other guests are sound
asleep. When he comes In he is
known only to the speckless uniformed
bellboys, who have all opened bank
accounts In Pasadena since the lieu
tenants arrival. Their loyalty to their
trust is phenomenal.
Surrounding the Busch palace are a
dozen gardeners and a score Of SER
wants. Each individual is on patroi
duty day and night. To all question
ers they have but one reply:
"Mr. Scharrer does not live here.
This is the Busch residence. Mr..
Busch Is in st. Louis.
I'VE know nothing about the plans
of either Mr.. Scharrer or Miss Busch. I"
Promises to Wait
In Pasadena all society's eyes are
turned eastward looking for the APP
pearance of Adolphus Busch.
What his coming will mean is not
known by even the three principals.

Judge Holds That Man Meant to Transfer His
Property to Wife, and So Orders.
Decision Ends Litigation

upon the said day Il was placed In tht

plaintiff and defendant had lawful ac'

Jointly. To this property the defendant

this deed, stating that It was not the

much affection for his wife and child

December 81, 1904.
Believing as 1 do that Mr.. Cutter is
man of kind impulses, / am able to
come to the conclusion that he did feel
that 1t was the proper thing for him to
transfer his property to his wife, who
was regarded by him as capable bust

"At the time of the execution of the
deed Mr.. Cutter had about $27 900 in
money. This did not and, according &c
the testimony Of Mrs. Cutter, was not
intended to pass by the conveyance.

mind is driven to the concln-
sion that It was the intention to make

title to the property absolutely to his
wife for the purpose named therein.
"A decree Of this court may not, OF
course, operate directly upon property
situate in the District of Columbia, but
the court has jurisdiction of the parties
and If it had been made to appear that
the defendant had wrongfully obtained
possession of the deed, then 1t would
be within the power of the court sit
ting in equity to render a decree re-
curing the defendant to execute deco

by the deed from him to her.
Findings and judgment will be en-

Following one of the most sensational
suits in the history of Los Angeles
courts, Judge Bordwell Of department
o of the superior court yesterday
handed down an opinion in the suit
for recovery of Il. Kendall Cutter OF
Monrovia against Mrs. May Dabney
Gutter, finding in favor of the woman
for the full amount Of the personal
property and the real estate to the
amount Of $4,000.
Ever since the marriage Of Cutter in
Washington six years ago, there has
been war in the family because OF
Cutters habits of drinking. Twice Mrs.
Cutter has filed suits for divorce against
her spouse but on both occasions she
Withdrew the petitions and gave her
husband another chance.
On December 81, 1904 Cutter, accord
ing to the allegations of the complaint,
was Just recovering from heavy spree
and while in an exceedingly nervous
condition, he made a deed to all his
property, including $4,000 worth in
Washington and $4,000 In Monrovia,
to his wife with the understanding IL
was not to be recorded until after his
death.
AFTER spree
The deed was recorded during April
Just following a time when Gutter was
alleged to have come to Los Angeles
In company with notorious men and
women and to have spent several days
on a big spree.
Since that time the husband and wife
have parted and, according to the state
ments of their attorneys, they never
will live with one another again. There
fore Cutter brought suit for the recov-
cry of his money and the case was
tried before Judge Bordwell.
In his opinion handed down yester--
day in which he upheld the claims OF
the woman, Judge Bordwell ruled In
part as follows:
1.-THE plaintiff is the husband of the
defendant. On the 31st day of De-
cember .1904, the plaintiff signed and
acknowledged in favor of his wife a
deed of gift for the consideration ex-
pressed therein, to wit: The love and
affection which said party Of the first
part has and bears unto the said party
of the second part as also for the better
maintenance, support, protection and
livelihood Of the party of the SECOND
part, conveying generally and without
specific description all Of those certain
lots or pieces or parcels of land situate,

and mortgages belonging to him.

soldier. In lifes ranks the two are as
different as black is from white. The
elder Busch recognizes the fact that
the lawyer is poor. But he does not
consider it a necessary factor in the
solution of his daughters future happi-
ness.
1t Is possible that papa Busch is just
little bit angry with his fair daughter.
Like Wilhelmina once said, so says
Adolphus:
What terrible pickle"
Tells Physician Her Troubles
The occasion of Wilhelmina's utter
ance of that common phrase was when
she returned from her trip to Europe,
where she first became enamored by
the dashlng German soldier. When she
stepped from the train in st. Louis
on her return from her trip to Europe
she was met by a physician well known
to the Busch family. This is the con-
versation that took place:
well Miss Busch, I am delighted
to see you How did you enjoy your
trip" said the doctor.

she has confided to one of her girl
friends.
However a sudden marriage to the
soldier is not imminent. To her dot
ing father she has telegraphed:
"Will wait your arrival.

Parent Is Angry
In st. Louis Attorney Eugene H. An
CERT is working each day with his
clients. At night he may be found in
the solitude of the hazy corners of
some club room, his companion at
times being the elder Busch. The latter
makes no effort to hide his preference
for the American lawyer to the German
