DO0TORS MEST4KES

Are said often to be buried six feet under
ground. But many times women call on
their family physicians, suffering, as they
imagine, one from dyspepsia, another from
heart disease, another from liver or kid
ney disease, another from nervous pros
tration, another with pain here and there,
and in this way they present alike to
themselves and their eaSy-going or over
busy doctor, separate diseases, for which
he, assuming them to be such, prescrbes
his pills and potions. In reality, they are
all only symptoms caused by some uterine
disease. The physician, ignorant of the

ATTORNEY ASKS AUDITOR
FOR LEGAL ADVICE

City Attorney Hewitt has asked City
Auditor Mushet to furnish list of the
demands made on his office which he
regards as irregular.
This applies to all salary ordinances
which have been antedated, the fortu-
nate employees thus donating them
selves a ''raise'' we'll in advance of the
time the ordinances specify.
Former Deputy Auditor r. e. Bost-
wick, who is seeking place on the
aqueduct board, is one of those who
drew $500 in way which the city at
torney's office is investigating.
Increases have been made in salaries
in the city clerks, city treasurers, city
assessors and other offices which are
affected by the recent decision of Mr..
Hewitt to probe into the payments
Whether any refunds are forced or
not, 1t is certain that all future ordi-
nances of the kind will be rigidly
scrutinized for 'jokers,"
Meanwhile Mr.. Mushet will hold up
any further payments of salaries to
those who are under investigation.

ALCOHOL POISON
NEARLY KILLS BOY
Fourteen-Year-Old Lad Found in an
Unconscious Condition and Heroic
Measures Are Necessary to
Save His Life

Joseph Workman, IA years of age,
residing with his brother at 40S Court
street, was taken to the receiving hos
pital last night by Patrolman Christian

holic poisoning. Doctors Garrett and
Tebbetts were compelled to use heroic
methods to restore the lads pulse and
empty his stomach of the liquor he
had swallowed. 1t was stated that he
would probably remain unconscious for
several hours, but that danger to his
life had been removed by the treat
ment given him.
How the lad got the liquor which he
drank is unknown. Early in the after
noon his mother gave him so with which

At 9:15 o'clock he was found insen-
sible on the sidewalk on San Pedro

RUNAWAY HORSE JUMPS
ON STREET CAR STEPS

A frightened horse trailing wrecked
buggy belonging to G. F. Pike, carriage
builder, caused a temporary stoppage
of traffic on Also street yesterday aft
ernoon. The quick work of the motor
man on Garvanza car was the only
thing that prevented a serious finale.
According to the stories told by sew
eral witnesses, the horse had been left
standing unhitched near the Maier &
Zobelein brewery, when a passing car
frightened him. Several pedestrians at
tempted to stop it and one of the brew
cry wagons drove diagonally across the
path of the runaway animal.
The heavy wagon caught the front
wheel of the buggy and smashed it into
kindling. AS Slauson avenue car No.
205 approached the horse made straight
for it. Motorman Mosier, who was in
charge of the car, quickly reversed the
power and brought the car to. a stand
still just as the horse plunged into the
platform. Several women on the car
tainted and were cared for by the store
keepers in the vicinity.
The wrecked buggy and the fright
ened animal were disengaged from the
car after considerable difficulty.

ARGUES HIS WAY
OUT OF PRISON
JUDGE REYMERT PREPARES
CASE IN JAIL
Is Released from Serving Sentence on
Contempt Charge Through Tech
nichaI Error Made in Pre-
pairing Papers

After preparing his defense in a cell
at the county Jail, to which he had
been committed on contempt of court
charge, Judge James D. Reymert yes
terday went before the appellate court
and argued his case so ably that he
was released on a technicality In the
charge and the order of commitment
dismissed.
Reymert was placed in contempt after
the trial of Francisco Chacon, a Mexi-
can who had been arrested on a bur-
glary charge and who had been de-
Tended by Reymert. Two of the wit
nesses in the case, both Mexicans of the
lower order, appeared in the district
attorneys Office after the trial and tes-
titled that Reymert had told them how
to testify.
Reymert Indignantly denied the
charge. He was hailed before Judge
Smith on the contempt charge and
fought the case, but was declared guilty
of contempt on the testimony given by
the two self-confessed perjurers.
Reymert's friends promptly offered to
pay the 5000 fine imposed upon the at
torney. Reymert refused to accept the
payment of the fine, which would mean
his release.
He was given a day to secure the
money, but refused to pay the sum-
ney was at stake and that he would
rather die in jail than admit he was
guilty of subornation of perjury by
paying the fine.
Given Freedom Of Jail
The punishment for the offense was
5000 fine or 100 days in the county
jail. and Reymert went cheerfully 10
the county bastile and began to serve
sentence.
He was not put in prison garb. He
ate and slept in the same rooms with
the Jail officers. He made many
friends among them and he had all the
privileges Of the jail except his free
dom.
And every spare moment he had he
worked incessantly to get his petition
for writ Of review In good shape to be
presented to the appellate court. In
that he was assisted by Col. j. Marion
Brooks and Attorney Wills. Wills Wis
tied Reymert daily at the jail, carrying
armfuls Of law books TO the jailed at
torney.
The attorney prepared the case, and
yesterday went to the appellate court,
where, with Col. Brooks he fought for
his freedom and the restoration OF his
honor, and he won both.
The court ruled that as no offense
had been stated in the citation for con-
tempt served against Reymert, there
fore he could not be held, and he was
dismissed and the contempt charges
stricken from the calendar.

turned over to his attorneys to fight
an appeal in the supreme court.
Several hundred shares Of stock in
the Los Angeles Furniture company,
once owned by the governor, were
called into the question, but Mr.. Mark
ham simply stated that that stock,
together with everything else he had
in the world, had gone and that he
had nothing further with which to sat
isfy the debt.
Court then adjourned until May g,
when former Governor Markham will
again be put on the stand and be
compelled to explain in detail that all
the property from his father-in-law's
estate is gone and that there are no
prospects for any more money from
that source.
The case from which the debtor judg-
ment was the outgrowth was tried in
department eight about two months
ago.
Hold Markham Responsible
Prior to that time the affairs of the
American Boy Mining company had
become greatly tangled. Former Gov
ernor Markham as president and gem
eral representative of the outfit was
called to an accounting by George
Turner, who represented the stockhold-
ers, and the case was tried.
An accounting or SzUu,UuV was dskeu
by the stockholders and for days and
DAYS the accounts of the company were
threshed about in court.
Then came an explanation to the
effect that the directors of the Amer
lean Boy company, being also the di-
rectors Of the American Girl company,
had used surplus funds from the Amer
lean Boy company to help out in ac-
quiring property and building machin-
cry for the American Girl company.
1t was rather a fine distinction. since
the stockholders of both companies
were practically the same.
Judge Wilbur finally ruled that
Markham was responsible to the stock |
holders Of the American Boy company |
in the sum of $4,000, and Judgment |
against him was entered for that sum- |
and ever since his creditors, the stock
holders have been collecting the judg-
ment.

Groom Held in Jail

Tabbert was not in court yesterday
during the hearing and is being held
at the county jail pending an investi-
cation of his marriage to the 13-year-
old girl
Virginia Spencer disappeared from
her mothers home April and went to
Santa Ana, where she was married.
She then came to Los Angeles, and
with her husband began married life in
little room on South Main street.
officers of the Juvenile court to whom
the girls mother complained followed
them there and arrested them.
Now the girl is under the care of the
probation officer and will be closely
watched until Judge Wilbur decides
upon what the best plan of procedure
will be, whether to send her to the re-
form school or return her to her
mothers charge.
The charge against Tabbert, the
youthful husband, may be a serious
one, particularly since it is a felony in
California for any girl to marry before
she is 16 years of age. 1t is alleged
that Tabbert knew that the girl was
only 13 years old and that he was party
to perjury when he stood by and al
lowed her to give the age of 18 years to
the marriage license clerk at Santa
Ana. His case will probably be at
tended as soon as his child wife Is
properly disposed Of
