 old timers say that they neA before saw so many of the states lea.-ng men and women here at the same time. The crowds from Birmingham were the largest sent in by any city, drawn by the desire to honor the sons of the city so markedly complimented by the voters of the state. Many of the Birmingham visitors were entertained by MT. Erskine Ramsay at the New Exchange at dinner tonight
 Preparations Were Elaboratae. For the public reception and inaugural ball. which followed it this evening in the 1 Auditorium on North Perry street, exten- sive and elaborate preparations had been made, and the result was perhaps the

PRESIDING JUDGE
CHANGED TODAY
HIS HONOR CHARLES MONROE
TAKES CHARGE
New Divorce Law Likely to Be RigidIy
Applied to fasteners Who
Seek an Easy
Decree

Following a year of careful work as
presiding judge of the nine depart
ments of the superior court Judge N.
P. Conrey Of department five will today
step aside and Judge Charles Monroe
of department six Til. hold the reins
for the next twelve months.
This change will be in accordance
with a rule made two years ago by
the superior court judges. At that
time some of the court calendars were
in bad shape because of the fact that
more cases were being set in some
courts than in others. And also when
a case would be set for one depart
ment and several days would be taken
UP in the hearing of the case, then the
other cases set for the succeeding days
would have to wait for trial, an6 con-
siderable confusion resulted.
That condition became so pronounced
after The creation of departments
seven, eight and nine that it was found
necessary to select one judge, who
would have the disposition of all the
court cases when those cases were
being interfered with on the day they
had been set for trial.
Judge Trask was selected for the
first year and at the expiration of that
period Judge Conrey carse in for his
turn. Today Judge Conrey wifi step
out and Judge Monroe, the terror of
the would-be Divorces, will take his
place as presiding Judge.
According to a new rule made by the
judges, all default divorce cases in the
future will have to be heard before the
presiding judge. and for the next year
Judge Monroe will get all those cases.
Decisions Are a Check
1t was Judge Monroe who secured
the passage of that rule after refusing
to grant DEGREES OF divorce in two IA
nous California cases, where the plain
tiffs in each instance had >ome to
California from the east for the only
too evident purpose of securing a di-
| vorce.
In one case physician from Cincin-
natl appealed to Judge Monroe for a
divorce. The physician alleged his
wife had been false to him several
years before and that he had lived
with her afterward before coming to
California. Judge !ionroe became
curious. TIE man had been a resident
of California only long enough to make
him eligible for a divorce, and when
it came to explain why he had made
the sudden trip 20 California only to
| file a suit for divorce as soon as he
had a chance the physician became
| suddenly shy on excuses and Judge
Monroe refused to grant the decree, on
the ground that California courts could
not be overburdened in washing the
dirty linen of those who were afraid
to tell certain details of their private
life and yet came to California to foist
| their troubles on the local courts
That decision and one following a
few days later caused a sudden drop
in the stock of Los Angeles as a Mecca
for easterners in search Of an easy
divorce
The default divorce law making it
necessary for all divorce cases where
only one of the parties appeared In
court to be tried before the presiding
! judge followed the two decisions and
today Judge Monroe will take UP the
work of presiding judge and the free
ing of local courts from eastern scandal
will begin.

COUNCIL ACTS ON
OWENS ELECTION
CITY EMPLOYEES TO GET HALF
DAYS HOLIDAY
Engineer Doc<weiIer Goes North to
Work on Special Report on Cost
Asked for by Mayor
Harper

The hum of preparation in connec-
tion with the coming special election
for the $27 7,000,0 Owens river bonds
is apparent at the city hall.
Politicians and others talk of moth
ing else now but Fiesta and then the
Owens bonds.
Among property owners there is a
marked activity in the interest of the
bonds, 50 politicians report. They say
that the belief is general that unless
the bonds pass there will be a drop in
Los Angeles values and on this ac-
count alone house owners are begin
ming to hustle for votes.
In the lobbies of the city hall and in
the offices nothing else inspires as
much debate as the water bonds.
The good work in propagation done
by Mayor Harper and the returned
councilmanic pilgrims from the valley
has set the ball rolling.
The council yesterday granted a half
days holiday to employees of city de-
partments on June IL in order that
they may vote and work for the Owens
river special bond ISSUE
Councilman Healy wanted to make
X a days holiday, but President Pease
suggested that as they were only ask
ed to grant a half day, that would
suffice.
The action was unanimous.
Engineer j. Henry Dockweiler has
been called to San Francisco on some
departmental work there on water
questions. He took his owens valley
data north with him and will work out
part Of his report while there. He will
do the final work in Los Angeles, re-
turning here during Fiesta. Mr.. Dock
weilers task Is a big one. as he is
particularly charged with the duty of
estimating the cost Of the big project.

DESERTED BABY
IS RETURNED TO
MOTHER S ARMS
Woman Takes Child
with Joy
Police Declare She Has Confessed to
Attempted Abandonment, and
with Husband May Serve
jail Term

Mr. and Mrs ]. e. Shirley, recent ar
rivals in Los Angeles, are being held
at the police station as suspects while
the police are investigating charges
that the couple had abandoned their
daughter Dorothy, aged months, and
attempted to abandon two older chill
dren yesterday.
Mr. and Mrs. Shirey were arrested
at their home, 1t13 Towne avenue, late
yesterday afternoon by Patrolmen
Walsh and Murphy Early in the
morning Mrs. Shirey is said to have
abandoned her baby daughter in St.
Patrick's church, where it was found
by a painter, r. A. Dixon, 1896 East
Thirty-eighth street, who had seen
the woman enter with a baby and come
out without it.
Dixon notified the priest at the
church and then called up the police.
Patrolman Parrish of the University
station was sent to the church and took
charge of the baby and the little one
was turned over to the care of the
matron.
In Straitened Circumstances
Patrolmen walsh and Murphy were
detailed on the case and through a
description of the woman who had been
seen to enter the church by Dixon,
soon learned her identity and placed
her under arrest.
According to the story of the po-
lice, the couple recently came here
from Oklahoma territory. The father
has been unable to obtain work, and
when the funds became low they de-
cided to abandon the little ones and
return to their former home without
them.
The woman went to st. Patricks
church. Thirty-eighth and Central
avenue, where she left the youngest
child in an ante room. The little one
was wrapped in a horse blanket, with
a few little toys and an eight-ounce
bottle of milk.
A note which was found with the
baby read:
MAKE sister of this girl. I am too
poor
1t is alleged the mother returned to
her home, where she packed the pos
sessions of the family and prepared
10 leave. She was assisted in her work
by her husband, and. according to the
officers, the couple intended to leave
behind them their other two children,
Marcel, aged years, and Charlie, aged
6 years.
Receives Baby JoyfulIy
Flien taken to the police station the
baby, which the mother is alleged to
have deserted earlier in the day, was
returned to her and she clasped it to
her breast with a. cry of joy.
Mrs. Shirey is said to have confessed
to the police that she tried to desert
the child, but to have stated she was
sorry that she had made the attempt.
The offense with which the couple are
charged is a serious one and each may
have to serve a term in Jail for it.

UNIQUE ROBBERY;
POND WAS STOLEN
Only the Bottom and a Few
Dead Fish Remain to
Tell the Tale.
NEAR THE REID HOSPITAL.
POLICE ARE WORKING ON THE
CASE BUT THUS FAR THEY
HAVE FOUND NO TANGIBLE
CLUE.

The police are busily engaged in
an effort to locate the person or per-
sons who stole the pond at the Reid
hospital grounds late Tuesday night.
A half days search in the north end
of town Wednesday failed to reveal
who the act was committed by.
The police state that about mid
night Tuesday some one dug a ditch
through the south bank of the pond
and when the sun rose Wednesday
morning nearly all the water in the
pond had been emptied into the river.
The pond was stocked with various
kind of fish, from big four pound bass
to twenty-five pound carp and tiny
gold fish. Hundreds of pounds of fish
were stolen by the thieves and those
which were not taken died from the
lack of their native element.
This robbery is beyond doubt the
most unique one ever reported to the
the home of Col; J. F. Miller he took
great interest in fish culture. He
had the pond made and an artificial
trout stream emptied into it. This
stream and the pond Col. Miller stock
ed with valuable fresh water game
fish Occasionally Col Miller fished
in these preserves but he hardly
ever molested his finny friends and as
a consequence the pond was stocked
with hundreds of them.
1--WE have not the slightest idea as
to who stole the pond, remarked
John L. Rupe of the hospital board
of trustees. THE only thing the
thieves left was a few dead fish and
the bottom of the pond"
1--WE found evidences of several
fish dinners in our search about the
north end of town for the thieves, but
failed to get clue as to the persons
responsible for these repasts, stated
Sergeant McManus.

thus informed, the boys disobeyed
