time the father stated on the witness
stand how much the mother abused him.
"My wife seized an easel and beat me
with 1t on the head and back until she
ran me out of the house." complained the
abused husband When asked how 1t hap
pened that his wifes face was cut and
bleeding on that occasion he stated that
she had broken the glass chandelier wniie
irving to strike him with the easel and
that the glass had fallen and cut her race.
He said that his home was a very unsafe
place for him, as he could not tell when
his wife would be seized with hit or
anger and chase him out of the house
with some piece of furniture as a weapon
..She went to my shop at 11S Commercial
street and abused me in very bad lam
guage until crowds used to gather out
side,' testified the husband. The suit was
brought by Amelia Harris, who charges
her husband with cruelty and mons sup
port.
Judge Monroe took the matter under adj

NEW YORK, Oct. 31.--Representative
James A. Tawney of Minnesota, chair
man of the house committee on appro-
priations, will leave New York today on
the steamer Colon for the isthmus to-.
make personal inquiry into the present
and prospective monetary needs of
the canal.
I'VE are making the trip" said Mr..
Tawney today, mainly because the
Isthmian canal commission has asked
for an appropriation of S32.000,000 with
which to continue its work for the
fiscal year beginning July 1, 1905
Congress fixed arbitrarily the cost
of the canal at $13S,000.000. Thus far
congress has authorized the issuance of
canal bonds to the extent of $4,000, 900.
If we find the estimate of $32,000,000
made by the commission for continuing
the work through the next fiscal year is
correct we shall unhesitatingly grant it.
''At the present rate of construction
the work ought to be cocmpleted by
January 1, 1914, but in order to be on
the safe side I will give years lee
way and fix the date of completion at
January 1, 1915. also estimate that
the total cost of construction will not
be less than $3.50, 900, 900. thus making
the canal cost us in actual cash $780,
600, ,000."
WASHINGTON, Oct. s1.--One hundred
and ten feet is the width which the
navy department has finally fixed upon
as desirable for the locks for the Pana-
ma canal. This is an increase of ten

VENICE, Oct. 91.-Aroused by recent
statements of members Of the volunteer

ing of the board of fire underwriters Of
the Pacific coast made an investigation
here today with the result that he will

conditions are not speedily returned to-
A citizens committee, including Abbot
Kinney, City Trustee Robinson, DR.. Stan
wood, president of the Venice chamber
of commerce, and a score OF merchants
met this evening at a conference with
Mr.. Manwaring when he asked many
questions concerning the alleged ineffi-
cheney of the fire department, both In
regard to membership and apparatus.
The discussion closed with the COM
mittee assuring MI. Manwaring that i'm
mediate steps would be taken to give the
city the best fire protection possible. The
whole matter will be the subject OF a
final discussion at the next meeting of
the local trade organization when the ex-
act status of the fire department to the
Kinney company will probably be the
chief point for settlement
Although Fire Chief Spranklin is paid
monthly salary by the city which has
control of the fire department., practically
all of the apparatus was donated or Is
the property or the Kinney company.
This condition of affairs Is held to be
RESPONSIBLE for the intermittent outbreaks
between the department and the Kinney
officials, the latest of which caused three
Kinney men to lose their membership in
the Organization and brought about the
present agitation.
While waiting for car to return to
Los Angeles, Mr.. Manwaring in reply to
a query as to his VISIT said:
ST am not interested in any differences
between the firemen or in any of the
troubles that have brought about the un-
satisfactory condition of affairs as relates
to the city fire protection. 1t is my
business to see the board companies hav-
ing interests here receive fair treatment.
and believe the community will stand
by us in this respect I suggested to the
citizens certain measures for improving
their fire protection facilities and I was
promised my advice would be made eff
fective."

ley announces that no more aoultiohs
in the way of lights will be made un-
less bonds are voted and more funds
provided. =.
This means that people residing in
rnliehted districts will have to put up
with the darkness throughout the
greater portion of the winter.
Considerable complaint comes from
people residing on streets where IN
candescent lights were In service whlle
the contract with the Edisin company
was in force. They say they favored
the municipal ownership plan because 9
they were led to believe they would
get even better lighted streets and now
they find they have no lights Whatever.
Mayor Farley says the funds avail
able for construction are exhausted ana
that nothing further will be done until
Prof Coreys report arrives. AS the
mayor has heard nothing from Prof.
Corey for several days he believes the
long looked for document is due soon.
Nothing is given out regarding the
city's intention to engage in CONNER
ciaI lighting, but it is believed that
nothing will be done in this direction
unfit the pending Edison suits are set
tied and another bond issue Is put
through If such move is decided
necess sary
A local authority on the subject says
sthe municipal plant will soon be fully
equipped to take care of the street
lights now in, and with sufficient sur
plus energy so that connection can be
made for commercial lights in the busi-
ness district at comparatively small
expense.
However, the executive forces of the
plant say that with the material con-
tracted for, including contract of
about $4,000 for transformers about to
be closed, will exhaust all funds avail
able and that Is the reason given for
stopping all further work.
