The New York Tribune observes:
The Salus- Grady libel law, passed
with such a flourish of trumpets I'M
der Governor Pennypacker's admin
dstration in Pennsylvania, has been
repealed. Not vote was cast against
repeal in either branch of the Leg
islature. The law, in fact, neither
terrified nor restrained the press, and
no action of any consequence was
ever brought under it. 1t was aimed
at evils which were only imaginary.

finished casting. Although the ma
chinery in the other adjacent shops
is operated entirely by electricity, in
the iron foundry, where the opera

The air is supplied at eighty pounds
pressure by number of electric mo-
tor-driven compressors.

WIFE WANTS HER
HUSBAND RELEASED
F0RGIvES ABUSE AND WOULD
PAY FINE
Says He Has Been Cruel to Her In
the Past, but She Does Not
Want Him to Stay
In jail

my husband has treated me in a
cruel manner in the past, but I do not
wish to have him stay in jail. Please
tell me, Is there any way I can get
him out?' said Mrs. L. Capilla to the
desk sergeant at the police station
yesterday.
Capilla is serving a forty-day sem
tence on charge of drunkenness. He
was arrested March 2 at the lodging
house run by himself and wife on East
Ninth street. When taken to the sta
tion 1t was alleged he had endeavored
to throw several roomers into the
street. While the police were investi-
eating the case It was learned that
Capilla was arrested several months
ago on charge of attempting to as
sault his wife with q knife. At that
time he was given a suspended thirty
day sentence at the request of his wife.
When Capilla was arrested for the
second time and taken to court 1t was
decided to make him serve the first
sentence and ten days additional on the
second charge. The man has still thir-
ty-two days to serve and his wife Of
fered to pay fine If he was given his
liberty.
The woman was instructed to call at
the court room today and see the police
justice who sentenced the man, and it
is thought Capilla will be allowed to go
if fine is paid.
Capilla and the woman are both ma
tives of the East Indies. They came
to California several years ago, and
although neither of them could speak
English when they arrived they now
talk the language f1uently.

FIANCE'S WEDDING
PROSTRATES GIRL
ASSERTS SHE KNEW NOTHING
OF MARRIAGE
Nuptials Arranged for Next Christmas
According to Relatives, and Young
Woman Returns to Massa-
chusetts Home

Word was received from Lawrence,
Mass. yesterday of the serious illness
of Miss Elizabeth Paisley, said to have
followed her discovery that she had
been deceived by Nathaniel H SoWle
of Los Angeles, to whom she had be-
lieved herself engaged.
Miss Paisley left Los Angeles two
weeks ago for Lawrence and was ac-
companied by Sowle to the train, with
the understanding, her relatives say
that he was to follow next fall and
they were to be married Christmas
Sowle had already been married Feb
ruary to Miss Marie Clark of Santa
Cruz, and it was the discovery of this
fact which is said to have proStrated
the young woman. Sowle is said by
the girls relatives, friends and ac-
uuaintances to have paid her atten-
tions up to the day of her leaving, and
she had not the faintest suspicion OF his
having been married.
Sowle and Miss Paisley have known
each other six years. Their engage
ment is said to have been made tour
wears ago. Soon after Miss Paisley
came to Los Angeles, a year ago last
August Sowle followed her, and it was
supposed by friends of the couple that
they would be married at that time.
No reasons were given for the delay of
the wedding, but finally Miss Paisley
said that next Christmas had been de-
cided on, and she prepared to return
to her own home to remain during the
interval before her wedding.
Miss Clark, who is but 1S years of
age, came to Los Angeles frequently
with her mother, and Sowle met her
socially. Miss Paisley is said to have
known nothing of his acquaintance
with the young woman, and many of
her friends still refuse to believe the
story of Sowle's marriage.
my sister has absolute proof of her
engagement" said Miss Margaret Pals
ley Miss Paisley's sister, yesterday.
Sowle was devoted to her UP to the
very last, and the girl never dreamed
of his being married or of having paid
attentions to any other woman. They
were engaged four years, and during
that time 1 know my sister never had
the shadow of a suspicion of Sowle."
Sowle is an advertising agent, with
offices in the o. T. Johnson building.
He has rooms at the Spencer hotel, his
wife at present being with her mother
in Santa Cruz. The marriage was per-
formed by a Congregational minister
at Riverside and was witnessed by
Mrs Hughes.

CANDIDATES THICK
FOR JUSTICE JOBS
SUPERVISORS MAKE APPOINT
MENTS TODAY
EmoIuments Of office Reduced to a
Fixed Salary Of $4,000 Annually,
and No More viii Be
Allowed

with a field of nearly q dozen to pick
from the question of who will be ap-
pointed by the county board OF super
visors today to fill the positions cre-
ated by the legislature when a bill
arranging for two new justices, courts
for Los Angeles was passed will be the
chief topic in what promises to be q
busy session.
Already the petitions bearing long
lists of names have been filed with the
clerk of the board. Each applicant
represents one of the many factions
in the county and each has his hackers.
The Judges of the superior court have
taken sides in the case in mild way
by affixing their signatures to the pc
titions of those favored by them
Probably the two men in Los An
geles who really do not care about
the new measure being passed are
Justices Pierce and Stephens, who have
lust passed through strenuous cam
paign to win their elections as justices.
only to have the Legislature create two
new offices and regulate the salary of
each justice to $4,000 per year. The
average for the past four years has
been $4,000 to $4,000 each for the justices
from the criminal and civil fees.
Where the new justices will have
their offices is not yet known and will
probably be left to their discretion.
AS they are now on salary and can
only make so much, whether they work
or not, the old-time competition for
trade has received a considerable jolt.
Lured the Timld On
In days not so long past Justice
Pierce used to stand in the doorway OF
his court and make eyes at prospective
marriage couples who were In search
of someone to perform the service,
while Justice Young, from the door or
his court room adjoining, used to make
Just as artful eyes In the hope or
picking up the fee. Three dollars was
the regular fee and marriage o1ten
meant five or ten dollars.
Those days have past and the justices
and their courts are settling down to
the humdrum routine under the bride
of salary.
With the bailiffs it is different. Con-
stable De La Monte in Stephens court
and Constable Cleveland in Pierce's
court will remain the sole monarchs OF
that business. 1t is thought that the
county will supply salary for baliff
for each of the new courts and these
bailiffs will probably be appointed from
the staff of officers now employed by
the two constableS.
Among the prominent candidates for
justices, George Beebe is thought to
have a good chance for one appoint
ment Beebe went into the race for
city attorney, but Hewitt defeated him.
Johnnie Summerfield also went into the
political fight hot after one of the just
ice court plums and lost These two
men have been valuable to the Repub-
lican party and both are strong con-
testants for the offices created espec-
tally to fix a place for some one.
e. e. Selph and many others have
strong backing and when the case
comes up this afternoon for settlement
there will be a lively time over it.
