TIRES OF SUPPORTING
HER DRUNKEN HUSBAND
WIFE DECLARES SHE HAS EN-.
DURED ENOUGH ABUSE
Mrs. Violet H. starbuck Now Pro-
poses to Go It Alone and VIII
Ask Court to Give
Her Freedom

Drunkenness, desertion and non-support
are the charges made by Mrs. Violet H.
Starbuck against her husband, Harry w.
Starbuck, in a suit for divorce which was
to have come up Tuesday in the su-
perior court hut was postponed until after
the vacations.
Mrs. Starbuck claims that for years she
has been enduring the abuse of worth
less and drunken husband whom she has
had to support most of the time and now
she has determined to get rid of him IN
tirely.
The Starbucks' reputation is well known
to nearly all the market men, who say
the wife does almost all the work while
the husband comes around only to draw
his portion of the receipts.
The couple have not been living to-
gether for some time. Mrs. Starbuck al
leges that her husband wilfully deserted
her long time ago and left Los Angeles
Then she says she acquired a piece Of
property valued at $3O00 and the man
hearing of it returned to claim an interest
in it. Rather than have a law suit she
says she paid him $780,
After his return she has refused to live
with him, but this has not kept him from
annoying her and drawing on her money.
She says she has been TO- many months
dependent on her own efforts for live
lihood Finally, worn out with the
strained situation, the wife decided 10
sell out the restaurant, which was dis
posed of recently, the couple dividing the
money between them.
In the divorce the wife asks for alimony
which she claims her husband is amply
able to provide if he will work The case
has been pending for some time and when
it was finally due to come up the legal
HOLIDAYS interfered.
Starbuck is said by his acquaintance
to be a good kind of fellow but given
to drunkenness and carousal. He is able
to earn a living, but has become, they
say, almost chronic id.er. He filed q
counter complaint against his wife's suit,
but his acquaintance believe he will
never appear to interfere with the divorce
proceedings instituted b. the wife. An
drew ]. Copp, jr., is ttorney for the
plaintiff.
Neighbors say that Mrs Starbuck
made every effort to get along with her
husband, even going SO far as to pay
debts which he contracted and for which
he would have been sued had she not
come to his rescue.

WooDPILE MYSTERY is
AS YET UNEXPLAINED
Rare China and SiIverware Slowed
Away in Rear of House
Throws Suspicion on
Fred Dirks

Why Fred Dirks kept full set of
Vaviland china and some silverware in
a woodpile in the rear of his home will
remain a mystery for some time to come
The trial of Dirks on a charge of grand
larceny did not come up yesterday in
Justice Summerfield's court as per sched-
ule because of the legal holidays No
vember 16 was set as the next date for
the hearing.
At that time Dirks will be given a
chance to explain why so many articles
of the family dining set from the Carson
ranch at Florence were found in his
woodpile and hidden around In other
places where Joseph N. Carson, owner
of the ware, says they wereN concealed.
According to the, complaint Dirks took
everything in sight in the dining room
except the dinner. Among the articles
alleged to have been stolen are two cut
glass berry bowls, half a dozen fancy
border plates, four Dresden coffee cups
and saucers, half dozen Haviland china
dinner plates, two cut glass olive dishes
half a dozen cut glass drinking glasses,
one silver inlaid vase and other articles
highly priced by the family and having
a total value of $500.
Knowing that the case could not be
heard, word was sent to the officers that
the alleged fancier of fine china would
not be required to appear until Novem-
ber 16 when the trial will take place.

VICTIM OF BULLET

SUBMITS TO OPERATION IN IN
TEREsT OF SCIENCE
Herbert Welsh, Who Shot Himself
with Suicidal Intent, Lives
Through the Day, but
End Is Near

You say l am going to die. That is
all right; do not fear death. But T
would like to be of some good to the
world before pass away. If you care to
operate upon me in the interest of med
ical science l am willing. If 1 die while
under the anaesthetic my life will not
nave been an entire loss"
with these words Herbert Welsh. the
young man who recenuy attempted to
Kill himself in his room on North Broad
way by shooting himself in the head.
turned from the physicians at the county
hospital yesterday and prepared for the
operation he felt confident would bring
about his DEATH
Inc wound caused by the bullet which
Welsh nred with suicidal intent was of
such nature that the physicians felt
confident the young man could not live.
Inc injury was peculiar one, and since
the young man was taken to the county
hospital his case has been watched with
great interest by the ones in charge
IL was decided an operi tion might give
n N chance to live little longer, but
that death would result shortly despite
all the efforts they could make.
When Welsh was told this he agreed
to submit to the operation and yesterday
afternoon it was performed The young
man was in greatly weakened state
when the surgeons began their work and
for a time 1t was thought he would die
before the operation was finished He
lived, however, and soon after it was
over regained consciousness.
The physicians believe Welsh may live
another day or so, but say there is no
hope of life remaining any longer than
that length of time.

Thus spoke William Caury, an employe
of the Berlin dye works, while the ply
sicians at the receiving hospital were en-
gagged setting his nose, which had been
fractured, and placing bandages on a
sprained thumb.
During the last three weeks Cottle,
who is employed as engineer at the dye

tinued Caury. Late Tuesday afternoon
he began plaguing me and continued doing
so until 1 left work for the night.

1 struck him with the board. He fell
backward and threw the board away.
AS did so he rushed at me. striking me
in the face. l fell backward and my
hand struck the f1ywheel of the engine,

MY brother heard the row and rushed
to my aid. After driving Cottle away he

CELESTLALS
READY FOR
TONG WAR
WILL STRIKE WHEN THE TIME
is RIPE
LOCAL CHINESE ON EDGE FOR
THE FRAY
Lee Gee Hong, Prominent and
Wealthy, Stabbed in the Back
While in Los Angeles Street
Chop House

What is believed by members of the
Chinatown squad to have been renewed
effort to start tong war occurred Tues
day night when Lee Gee Hong, a promi-
nent and wealthy Chinese, was stabbed
in the back by two unidentified Chinese
while he was visiting a chop house at
S09 Los Angeles street.
Hong is not connected with any tong,
but is known to be friendly to the Boo
Dong tong. Tuesday night he visited
the chop house in company with several
friends. When about to leave the place
Hong's attention was attracted by a
peculiar noise behind a partition. He
stepped to a door and peered into the
room from which the noise came. There
he saw a Chinese lying on a bunk and
acting as If i'll.
Hong stepped into the room to see If
he could offer assistance. AS he did so
some unidentified person stepped up be-
hind him and plunged heavy knife into
the back of the unsuspecting Chinese.
With cry Hong pitched forward to
the floor and his two companions hurried
into the room. With the exception Of
their wounded comrade they found the
place vacant, his assailant, with the
supposed sick man, having fed.
Hong was hurried to the headquarters
of the Boo Dong tong and soon the
word that members of the Hop Sing tong
had attempted to renew the war was
passed. Word of what was going on
reached the police and additional officers
were hurried to the district. The in
furiated Chinese were prevailed upon to
cease their warlilke preparations and
police surgeons were called to attend
I-Jng.
Yesterday afternoon the wounded Chi
nese was able to be about and called at
the police station to see what efforts
were being made by the police to find
his assailants.
Police officers are confident that the
Chinese are simply awaiting the proper
moment to arrive when the bloody war
of a few weeks ago will again start.
They say the Chinese are all on edge and
are awaiting with impatience for the
right time to come.
