CHILDREN DECIDE THEIR
CASE FOR JUDGE GRAHAM
Orphans Prefer an Aunt as
Guardian and the Court
Acts Accordingly

Judge Graham awarded the custody
of Jessie and Grace Coulter, mother
less children, to their aunt, Jean Cor
dan, yesterday. The courts decision
hinged upon the statement of the
minors that they would be more happy
with their aunt than they would with
their sister, Mrs. Allen p. Brown, q
graduate Of the University OF Cali
fornia and wife Of the principal OF the
San Diego high school Brown and his
wife were counter petitioners for the
custody of the children, but withdrew
their application upon hearing the
statement of the children in court
that they preferred Mrs. Gordan.
The examination developed that the
father of the children had been ar
rested, tried and discharged on his pre-
liminary hearing for the murder Of
his wife Among the allegations in op-
position to Mrs. Gordans petition for
letters Of guardianship was one that
her husband had induced Jessie Coul-
ter to sign the complaint charging her
father with murder. On the stand the
girl tearfully told the court that Cor
dan had nothing to do with il, and
that the suggestion came from Detec-
tive Braig.
Brown, who came up from San
Diego. explained that he and his wife
would like to give the two girls a
home, but that he understood the
reasons for the opposition of their
mother, before her death, to their be-
coming oustodians Of the children. The
opposition was based. he said, upon
trouble involving certain property in

ROADS IN BAD SHAPE

Los ANGELES, March 2s.-An inter-
esting automobile race from Los An
geles to San Francisco between two
rival makes of machines was begun at
4:3O o'clock this morning. Each ma
chine carried four men, some or them
automobile drivers of international
reputation. 1t is expected that the
greatest hardships will be encountered
on the trip owing to the damaged
roads resultant from recent floods,
washouts and landslides. The me-
chimes carry complete roadmaking out
fits, and If the roads do not exist they
will be made. Crowbars, tackles, picks.
axes, shovels, hundreds of feet of steel
cable and even dynamite comprised the
equipment of the machines. The cars
must pass through the following towns
on the way to San Francisco: Bakers
field, Fresno, Merced, Tracy and Liver
more. A forty-hour limit was first ar
ranged for the race, but owing TO road
conditions this was removed. The first
machine left the starting point in this
city, Third street and Broadway, at
4:30 o'clock. and the second followed
one hour later.
In the first car were Bert Dingley,
who drove in the Vanderbilt cup races
and the James Gordon Bennett race in
France; Bruno Siebel, William Ruess
and Harris Hansue. In the second car
were Ralph Owen. Harry Harrison,
Bob Emmons and W. A Peck.

DRAW POKER AL|B|'
DOESN'T AID SOLOMAN
Convicted of Assault Upon
the Maid of Late Harry
Corbett's Flat

Dead men tell no tales and blind
girls cannot see"
The quotation is a part of the address
to the jury made in Judge Cooks court
yesterday by Prosecutor Daniel Hanley.
which resulted in the conviction
of Ike Soloman for an assault
upon the maid Of the late
Harry Corbett's fiat. Soloman must
appear for sentence next Monday, and
the fact that the jury recommended
him to the mercy of the court was due
to the attitude of one Juror. the eleven
others having voted for conviction
without any strings attached.
Hanley's main argument was directed
against the value of the evidence given
by six gamblers from the Alaska Club,
each of whom, with different minute
and different hour on his tongues end,
attempted to prove that Soloman was
in the gambling house during the hour
of the alleged assault. Hanley charac-
terized the witnesses as hangers -on.
boosters, ringers-in and Indians" of
the gambling joint; he pointed them
out, one by one, and pertinently asked
the Individual members of the jury how
they would like to "sit in" a poker
game with any of them.
This fellow" said he, pointing to
one with beard, says he is a miner,
but he is nothing but sure-thing
short-card man."
Robert Duke, also arguing for the
prosecution, dubbed the evidence of the
gamblers as a draw poker alibi."
Hanley contended in his argument
that the assault upon Miss Koopman,
the maid, was secondary in Soloman's s
criminal intent. and the real victim
whom Soloman sought was the blind
daughter of the dead sporting man.

The food that we eat is treated
as fuel by the stomach, just as is the
coal in a furnace. The chemical
action which is produced upon the
food by the acids and juices of the
stomach burns the food and causes
a carbonic heat. This heat is cleo
tricity, and 1t Is forced into the
nerves and vital organs and is their
life. The electrical heat generated
by the consumption OF our food
should keep healthy every vital or
gan of the body. Debility of these
organs arises when the waste Is
greater than the repair-when the
stomach is not able to generate suf-
fcient electrical heat to supply the
demands OF nature. So, If your
stomach. kidneys, liver or any other
organs fail to do their work proper
ly, it Is because they lack electricity,
the power which makes them go.
The breaking down OF one of these
organs nearly always causes other
trouble, and this trouble can only be
cured by restoring electricity where
1t is needed. My Electro-Vigor does
this while you sleep It pours a
