HOW TO DO IT

The filming of the trusts is an made
quate way of reaching the evils of the
system. The trusts make so much mon
ey that they can afford to pay fines.
Large concerfs do not fear them. The
largest fine that could be imposed is
only an incident. The thing to do is to
send the trust officers to jail. In addi-
ton to. this their charters for doing
business ought to be revoked. That is

FROM OTHER PENS
IN DEFENSE OF LAW.

That, important modern addition to
our judicial codes which Is called the
.'unwritten 1aM.M whereby a man may
make himself Judge, jury and execu-
toner in the case of wrongs done to
and suffered by his wife and female
kin, has been dealt a severe blow in
the state of Iowa. The supreme court
of that state very properly takes in
hand a county attorney who has been
studying the law as it is taught by Mr..
Delmas, lately .-of California, and sew
eral distinguished judicial authorities
in the commonwealth of Virginia. 1t is
fortunate that there is voice here and
there ready to discourage in effective
terms the administration of justice by
unauthorized agents who roam the
country with revolvers in their hip
pockets, 1t is the beginning of the end
when the work of government is sub
ject to self-appointed persons who take
human life at will and rely upon the
sympathies of the public for the justi-
fcation of their entirely unlawful

SUDDEN WEALTH.

Notwithstanding the general prosper
ity that has prevailed in this country
for some years and the rapid increase
of wealth, there are still many persons
who are not yet millionaires. Numerous,
indeed, are those who may be classed
as still in quite moderate eircumstan-
ces. Not every person becomes mill
-lionaire at jump. Among these poor
but honest people one otter hears men
discuss what they would do If they were
millionaires. Not being able to build
bfownstone front or Indiana limestone
residences of the colonial style, they
like to indulge in the cheaper pleasure
of building castles in the air and of
telling what they would do If suddenly
wealth should come to them..s AS a

schemes of large philanthropy and

NOVICE ROBS
MAIL CARRIER
Masked Youth Demands Money at the
Point of a Revolver and Secures
$40, but Is Frightened
Away

George W. Dorr, 915 Flower street, a
mail carrier, was held up by lone
masked man on Flower street, near
Eighth, last night at the point of
big revolver and was robbed of $40 in
gold and currency.
The highwayman was evidently a
povice, for he appeared to be greatly
frightened, and when he told Dorr to
hold up his hands his voice quavered
perceptibly. Dorr says he was afraid
he would be shot before he could raise
his arms above his head.
The first act of the holdup man was
to feel in his victims hip pocket to
search for a gun. Instead of a gun
he found a wallet containing the money.
At that point footsteps We're heard
and a man approaching so alarmed the
robber that he fed without taking a
valuable gold watch and chain worn
by Dorr and about SIS in his trousers
pocket.
Owing to the fact that the robber
was masked Dorr could not describe
him clearly, but stated that he seemed
to be youth, was tall, wore a dark
suit of clothes and a dark slouch hat.
His voice was high pitched and he
used good English.

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 11.-All day
long thousands filed before the bier.
On each side Of the black draped cata-
falque burned candles and at the head
stood the brazen crozier, which is the
emblem of the departed prelates au-
thority.
The body was clothed in rich dark
purple, touched with white lace. The
purple gloves were threaded heavily
with gold. On one hand was the
heaVy amethyst ring, the solemn token
Of life consecrated to God and the
church. The face was calm and ex-
ceedingly peaceful.
All during the afternoon the sisters
OF the different Catholic orders and
the pupils of the Catholic school came
to join in the prayers for the soul of
the departed prelate.
The acolytes who had served Arch
bishop Montgomery knelt, one on each
side of the catafalque. All during the
day the lads he used to bless watched
and prayed in turns by the bier.
Tonight prayers for the dead were
rrecited at the cathedral. Sunday even
ing the clergy of the city will assemble
and chant the office of the dead with
a final benediction. The regular yes

Francisco or Oakland at SO per ton,
The average wholesale price of coal Of
a similar grade to this in San Francisco
and Oakland in large lots ranges from
Sc to per ton or higher, the same re-
failing to consumers at from $S to go

Andrew c. Lawson, professor of geol-
ogy and the head of the geological de-
partment of the University of Califor-
MIA, recognized as one of the noted
geologists of the country, recently ex-
amined the property, and after describ-
ing the development work says:
1T seems to be safe to estimate from
what is known of the coal seam that
it will be possible to follow it in mining
operations along the strike, say for 5000
feet, and along the dip for 5000 feet.
Such seam, with the thickness of fif-
teen feet, contains 15,O00,000 tons of coal.
Or, if we are to assume an AVERAGE
thickness of only twelve feet, in order
to allow for a possible thinning of the
seam, 12OO000O tons. In other words, it
seems quite conservative to reckon on
supply of coal at the rate of 1000 tons
per day for between thirty and forty
years, and very moderate amount of
exploratory work might demonstrates
the existence of several times this quan-
tity"
Said one coal dealer yesterday:
with such a coal field as this in CAL
ifornia the people of the entire state
have cause to rejoice. for it not only
means cheaper coal but better coal than
has ever been placed on the local
market before"

HUSBAND GIVEN
SHARE OF MONEY
BERTELSEN WINS FAVORABLE
DECISION
Judge Wilbur Orders That Contractors
Wife Forfeit Right to Prop
erty by Violation of
Contract

By decision handed down yesterday
by Judge Wilbur in department of the
superior court, the fight between Chris
tian Bertelsen, a prominent contractor
of Los Angeles, and his wife over their
property rights prior to divorce suit,
was finally settled when the husband
received the bulk of money involved.
The Bertelsen family troubles have
been in the local courts, divorce and
otherwise. for the past three years, and
two divorce suits have already been de-
MED and a third one is now pending.
When the couple was married neither
had property, and the husband later
bought up good property on West Ninth
street. That property increased in
value until the family troubles arose,
and Mrs. Bertelsen threatened divorce
and actually filed suit in the superior
court.
Later that suit was withdrawn and
Bertelsen built fine home for himself
and wife on the West Ninth street
property. 1t has been later determined
by local courts that Mrs. Bertelsen sue
ceeded in getting her husband to build
on that property on condition that she
should withdraw the suit for divorce.
After that Bertelsen went to live with
his wife at their home on West Ninth.
He went out one day on a little trip to
the country and when he returned ac-
cording to his statements at the trial
for divorce, his wife had thrown all his
belongings out of the house and had
locked all the doors and put new locks
on them so that he could not possibly
get back in the house.
A suit for divorce at that time was
filed, and the wife again withdrew the
stipulation being that Bertelsen should
sign over to her deed for all the prop
erty, which he did. The suit for divorce,
however, was later taken up and denied
by Judge Trask.
Recently another divorce suit was filed
in the superior court, and with it suit
for partition of the property.
Bertelsen alleged that he decided his
property to his wife under the agree
ment that she should not file a suit for
divorce against him or should at least
withdraw the suit she had at that time
filed. He alleged that his wife had ac-
cepted the deed and had turned about
and as soon as she had succeeded in
getting hold of the property she had
continued the suit.
On those grounds he contended that
his wife had forfeited her right to the
property by violating her contract.
Judge Wilbur yesterday ruled ac-
cording to that reasoning. He ordered
the property sold and the proceeds of
the sale of the house and improvements,
valued at $1,000, to be turned over to the
husband. He also ordered that the hus-
band receive one-half of the money
from the sale of the lot upon which the
house stands.
With the money question out of the
way, it is estimated that the divorce
case will be quickly disposed of one way
or another.

HURLED THIRTY
FEET BY CAR
Nurse Who Fortunately Was Pas
sender on Electric Gives First
Aid and Relieves Sufferinss
of Injured Man

William Bowen, a teamster of Eden
dale. living at 241 street, narrowly
escaped being ground beneath the
wheels of a swiftly moving Edendale
car last night.
He was struck by the car near Eden
dale and thrown thirty feet from the
track, when the car was going at a
speed of twenty miles an hour, accord
ing to witnesses.
When picked up he was found to be
alive but unconscious, and 1t was
thought he would not survive the trip
to the city, where he was rushed With
out stops But for the timely minis
trations of a nurse who fortunately was
one of the passengers on the car, the
intense suffering resulting from his in
iuries might have caused his death.
She, however, gave him a hypodermlc
injection and his pain was deadened.
The Pacific Electric surgeon, DR..
Stearns, was taken aboard the car at
Temple street and accompanied the in
irred man to the company's private
hospital in the Huntington building.
There Bowen was found to be suffering
from deep decorations on the top and
left side of the scalp, with possible
fracture of the skull and conclusion OF
the brain.
Passengers on the car who were sit
ting on the outside front seats say the
man was lying on the track, evidently
asleep or in state of intoxicatlon,
Although the passengers say they
saw the man thirty yards before the
car hit him, the, motorman processes
not to have seen him until within such
short distance that 1t was impossible
to more than slightly slacken the speed
OF his car.
Bowen was removed to the receiving
hospital after his wounds had been
dressed at the Pacific Electric emer-
pency hospital.
