DEMANDS COAL
FOR SCHOOLS
Board of Education Takes Determined
Stand Relative to Future Fuel
SuppIy-To Ignore Con-
tracing Company

Although the fuel situation in Los
Angeles is not at all serious, the board
of education does not intend to permit
it to become so again, and for that rea-
son gave the purchasing committee
permission to get coal direct from the
American Fuel company, gnoring the
Diamond Coal company entirely.
After the schools had seemed on the
verge of closing their doors because
of the lack of fuel On January Is, the
board demanded a conference with
President Kellam of the Diamond Coal
company to see whether he Intended to
live up to his contract with the school
board.
Besides the members of the purchas-
ing committee and President Kellam
there were present DR.. Moore, superin-
tendent of schools; Foreman Downie
superintendent of school buildings, and
President Lawrence of the American
Fuel company.
Mr.. Downie demanded at first that
the coal be delivered by the following
Friday, but President Kelam begged
so hard for more time, or at least till
Saturday, January 26, that it was final
ly granted him. In the presence of
President Lawrence and the represen-
tatives of the board he is said to have
promised to deliver all of the 120 tons
still due by January 26.
Will Get a Lemon
President Lawrence. who controls all
the fuel coming into the city, told him
that if the fuel were not delivered by
that date the American Fuel company
would withhold the amount from the
next consignment of coal to the Dia-
mond company. THE schools must not
close for alleged lack of fuel, because
there is fuel" he said.
When Foreman Downie was asked
whether he expected the coal to be de-
livered at the specified time he said
NO" and his expectations have been
justified Up to Saturday noon the
company had delivered seventy five
tons.
At the meeting of the board last
night the purchasing committee was
instructed to get the rest of the coal
direct from President Lawrence and to
ignore Mr.. Kellam altogether in future.

passed, Judge T.. w. Britt, of the hrm
Of Hunsaker & Britt, and Judge q. ,.
Munson, a we'll known Los Angeles at
torney, yesterday came to blows in
Judge Monroes chambers adjoining de-
partment six of the superior court,
The attorneys had gone to the court
room to settle the findings in the suit
of Mrs. Selma Lewis against the Dunn
Bros. for a portion Of the shares OF
Monroe had ruled that the woman was
to receive $4,000 shares or half the
amount of stock asked for.
Considerable feeling had been mani
tested during the trial and the attor-
neys during one particular argument
in which Judge Britt had taken the
stand, had become quite excited over
statements said to have been made in
Attorney Munson's Office.
Judge Britt had testified that one of
the members of the firm had made a
certain statement to him while he,
Judge Britt was at Judge Munson's
office talking over the case before the
trial
AT that time Judge Munson had re-
sponded with a severe cross examina-
tion, questioning Judge Britt as to how
the statements could have been made
without he. Judge Munson' hearing
them.
Yesterday, when the men entered the
court room together, they were appar-
entity on the best of terms. Judge
Britt is a short. slender man and eX-
tremely nervous. Judge Munson Is not
much taller and as slender. He has
snow white hair.

INSTALL MONSTER GENERATORS
New Redondo Power House Attracts
Worlds Enqlneers

The installation of four three-phase
generators by the General Electric
company for the Pacific Light and
Power company at Redondo is attract
ing a great deal of attention in the en-
gineering world.
These generators are of 5000 kilowatts
or 800 horsepower capacity each and
are unusual because they are built to
generate current of $4,000 volts, be-
ing the first large units ever construct
ed for so high a potential.
They are to furnish power for the
Los Angeles railway system.
The installation is also unique be-
cause cheap oil fuel will be used un-
der the boilers and sea water will be
utilized for condensing purposes.

Judae Visits Cressey Home

Judge Wilbur on one occasion went
to the Cressey home to see the woman
and later she was able to come to
court and testify in behalf of her hus-
band.
When the question of a guardian
came up in case the woman should be
declared incompetent, Captain Cressey
applied for the position. Later he with
drew and named several of his friends
and relatives as probable guardians
among them Rev. w. S. Twogood, his
brother-in-laW.
The representatives of the relatives
bitterly opposed the selection of Two
good and Judge Wilbur yesterday de-
cded to take the case under submis-
sion and he retired to his chambers.
Ten minutes later he returned verdict
holding the woman incompetent and
disposing of her and her estate in the
following opinion:
THE Merchants Trust company will
be appointed guardian of the estate of
Nellie e. Cressey, bond fixed at $4,000.
William Twogood will be appointed
guardian of the person of Nellie e,
Cressey, bond $1,000, with instructions to
allow his ward to remain in her own
house with her husband on Gramercy
street until the further order of the
court in accordance with her expressed
desire.
Said guardian, w. S. Twogood, is
directed to continue the employment OF
the physician now in charge of said
ward, viz, DR.. NJ l.. Moore, so long as
such attendance may be necessary.
THE finding will be that Mrs. Cres-
sey is, by reason of disease, mentally
| incompetent to manage her property.

banging of chairs and suddenly the
door flew open and Judge Britt backed
through it, holding his fists out before
him.
Judge Munson was close behind his
necktie awry and under one ear.
Judge Britt is no relative to the world
famous Jimmy whose honors in the
arena are known to every small boy
and if the judge ever did climb through
the ropes he would be in the feather
weight class. But he was doing
splendidly when the scene of battle
changed and came to the view of the
astonished court officials.
Judge Munson is said to have given
one last despairing swipe with his hand
and missed and suddenly his foot shot
out and swung fully five feet in the
air after the retreatng form of Britt.
The foot missed, but by that time a
young attorney and the court balliff
had stepped between the men just as
Britt started back toward the judge S
chambers and the figure of his enemy.
The only marks of the contest visible
was a red spot on Judge Munson S
jaw.
BY that time the attorneys stood
looking at each other and Judge Mon
roe walked over to them.
Even he was excited by the occur
renee of two leading attorneys engaging
in a good contest under straight Mar
quis of Queensberry rules. He looked
severe and said, Gentlemen, when you
must have an argument in my cham
bers have II elsewhere"
Both attorneys nodded to show they
fully comprehended the remark. Then
they settled their differences according
to law, shook hands with each other
and departed from court.

GUARDIANS CARE
FOR MRS. CRESSEY
COURT SUSTAINS CHARGE OF
INCOMPETENCE
Estate Placed in Hands Of Trust Com
pany, While Rev. w. S. Twogood
Will Have Care Of the
Woman

Mrs. Nellie e. Cressey, wife of Cap
tain Frederick j. Cressey, who for the
rast two months has been the ward of
the superior court pending the trial of
a charge of incompetency placed
against her by her sister and neigh
bors, was yesterday declared incompe-
tent by Judge Wilbur in department
of the superior court. Her estate was
placed in the hands of a local trust
company and the guardianship of her
person given to Captain Cressey S
brother-in-law. Rev. w. 5. Twogood'
The trial of the Cressey case has oc-
casioned more interest in the local
courts than any other case of it's kind
for years. Mrs. Cressey had been mar
ried three times before meeting Cap
tain Cressey. Thy were married after
a courtship of less than seventeen days
Mrs. Cressey was the captains fourth
wife and for a time 1t was thought
that they would live happily together
FIRST Captain Cressey had his wife's s
life insured for $4,000 and next, through
his suggestion, she settled up debts of
his to the amount of about $1,000.
About that time she became i'll and
began to show signs of mental derange-
ment. According to the evidence at
the trial. captain Cressey did not send
for physicians or nurses.
Captain Files Deeds
Two days before Mrs. Cressey's sis
ter arrived in Los Angeles Captain
Cressey filed deeds with the recorder
in which Mrs. Cressey had turned over
all her property to him. This property
was valued at about 100000, chiefly real
estate and houses.
At that time Mrs. Cressey's brother
arrived in Los Angeles and filed suit
to have his sister declared incompetent.
He charged Captain Cressey with hav-
ing eXerted undue influence and coer-
cion to get charge of Mrs. Cressey's
property.
Cressey gave back the property after
the filing of the suit and prepared to
contest the action.
He denied all the allegations. Attor-
neys representing the woman's relatives
went so far as to announce in court
that if a continuance of the case was
granted Mrs. Cressey might be dead
woman before the trial could be heard.
In an affidavit they intimated that the
woman was not safe so long as she
was with her husband and claimed he
had been giving her drugs to weaken
her system.
More than 209O pages of transcript
have been used IN taking down the evil
dence of the trial and the case came
to close yesterday after considerable
argument.
Expert physicians had testified that
Mrs. Cressey was suffering from paresis
and the woman's appearance in court
the doctors said, bore out that evil

Successful Farming.

From the Portland Telegram.
 Two thousand dollars net from a quar- ter of an acre of lettuce is the report of Fred Broetje, a truck farmer of Mount Tabor so far this year He has hot house covering that area and by keeping the soil continually at work can grow sev- eral hundred dollars worth of cucum- bers and tomatoes this year as well. MT. Broetje is not afraid to have 1t known that he can clear at the rate of $SO00 on an acre at his fertile farm five miles east of the business center of the city, as he does not fear that competition will in- terfere with his continued money max ing along these lines.
 My tomatoes will be ripe enough to pick within the next three weeks ne says. and then I will begin to dispose U; them at 15 cents a pound. It does not take a very big load at these rates to bring me s30 to s35.'

ROYALTY POSSESSIONS.
Many of Them Are Exceedingly Pre- cious and Valued at High Prices.

From Tit Bits.
 The pipe smoked by the Shah of Per sia on state occasions in set with diamonds. rubies and emeralds of the costlest kind, and is stated to be worth much as f10O,000. His pipe is, therefore, ten time more valuable than his sword-worn by the late Shah's father on his first visit to Flu rope-which is only valued at the in- signicent sum of f10 000.
 Talking of swords, perhaps the most precious blade" in existence is that of the Gaekwar of Baroda. It's hilt and belt are incrusted with diamonds, ru bies and emeralds, and it is valued at f220 900. There are some costly swords in India. and both the Czar of Russia and the Sultan of Turkey pos sess jeweled sabers of great price, The most valuable sword in England is the one presented by thea Egyptians to Lord Wolsey The but is set with brilliants, and is valued at E200O.

 It is impossible to value certain things until they come under the ham mer in the open market There is no doubt that the Queen of Italy's pearls are, indeed, worth "a kings ransom, but the pearl necklace which fatched record price belonged to the Duch- ess of Montrose.

 Violins have a romance all their own, apart from their price. but E590, the sum paid the other day for violin by Antonio Stradivari, seems an enormous price to pay for an instrument the original cost of which to the maker cannot have exceeded five shillings.

Spending Much Money.

The railroad is preparing to spend be- tween five and six million dollars in the project. One thousand miles of canal have already bene dug, opening up d third of the territory to cultivation. but 1)Q9 more miles of canal must be dug and 2l- 750000 cubic yards of material moved be- fore the gigantic task will be completed.
 Besides the Lethbrdge extension the Canadian Pacific Is planning a cut off from Mewasn to Shepard, similar to inc ones which E. II. Hartman Is now buiid- ing, at the expense of millions. to shorten the main line of the Union Pa cifc. The Mewasin cut off will save zen miles, get rid of a 4 per cent grade and open up new part of the irrig ttion tract. A reason for the hasteninS of the railroads plans in regard to the Leth- bridge extension Is the progress of the winter wheat crop. It Is estimated that this will be the biggest in the history of Alberta.
