WOULD CUT OFF
MONTHLY STIPEND
Officers of 6. P. C. A. Protest Against
Supervisors Disseminating Allow
ance-compromise May Be
Effected

President Trumbower, Special officer
thinner and former President Long Of
the S. P. G.. A. yesterday appeared be-
fore the board of supervisors to protest
against resolution offered by Super
visor Eldridge.
With a view to economizing the
county funds the motion required that
the monthly allowance of $780, which
the supervisors pay to the society, was
to have been withheld.
Notice was served on the society of
the action contemplated, and they were
given until yesterday to show cause
why the monthly bounty should not be
cut off.
After an argument of several hours it
was decided to defer action in the mat
ter for one week, and in the meantime
the board may compromise by reducing
the allowance to $100 or $125.
Supervisor Eldridge declared that the
county was too extravagant in the mat
ter of charities, nearly $35, 900 being an
nually disbursed, and he intimated that
the S. P. G. A. was not in need Of the
county's help.

TECHNICALITY IN COMPLAINT
LETS PRISONER GO FREE

On the ground that the information
had been inartistically written, in that
it did not contain the word malicious
ly," Judge Smith, in the superior court
yesterday, released Domingo Vasquez
from the county jail, where he had been
sentenced by Justice Klamroth of Pasa-
dena on charge of disturbing the
peace.
Attorney Noland, for the defendant,
had discovered the flaw in the infor-
nation as filed with the district attor-
ney's staff and brought habeas corpus
proceedings before Judge Smith.
Assistant District Attorney North
argued against the granting of the writ,
insisting that it was not the proper
procedure, but was overruled by the
court.

WILL SEARCH DARKTOWN
Fob INFLAMMATION RINDS

Can one man carry twelve water
melons under his arms without being
detected in the act? That is what A.
B. Lettunich of 31S Crocker street is
asking himself. His store was broken
into and a dozen melons taken last
night. The detectives have been noti-
fed of the theft.
Watermelons are scarce this time of
the year. Have the burglars who have
been amusing themselves by visiting
business offices in large buildings sud
denly become hungry for juicy melons?
Perhaps there is clew. They may be
negroes whose love of the watermelon
is proverbial. At any rate the melons
are gone-and no rinds remain.

Any Defect of the
Body

That causes nerve irritation or ex-
haustion destroys life force. When one
is strong a defect may not be noticed,
but if there is defect it will some
day make itself apparent. AT first it
may be only just noticed, then it gets
larger and at last too large to bear.
1t causes leakage. Some defects are more
destructive than others; one of the most
common and most hurtful is defective
vision. The eyes are almost constantly
in use, and any defect, however small,
wears on the nerves. Proper ground
glasses are used to overcome defects
of vision, and if they are suited to the
eyes there will be no irritation or pain.

NURSE FAILS TO
IDENTIFY BODY
FORMERLY TOOK CARE OF
BERTHA BEILSTEIN
Woman Views Remains of Woman
Who Went Under Name of Olga
Miller-ldentity Not
Doubted

Although there is little reason to
doubt that she who passed in Los An
geles under the name of Olga Miller,
and whose remains are now reposing in
guarded vault at Evergreen cemetery,
was Bertha Beilstein, the beautiful
Pittsburg matricide, no positive identi-
fication of the remains has yet been
made and no official declaration that
the Olga Miller who died at the county
hospital and Bertha Beilstein were one
and the same.
Yesterday a young woman who de-
clared that she was formerly nurse
at the Western Pennsylvania hospital
in Dixmont presented herself at Pierce
Bros undertaking establishment and
requested that she be allowed to enter
the vault and endeavor to identify the
remains as Bertha Beilstein.
| She was accompanied to the cemetery
by employees of the undertaking firm
and after viewing the dead body for
some time declared that she could not
positively identify the so-called Olga
Miller as Bertha Bielstein.
According to the nurse the resem-
blance was marked to an unusual de-
gree, but if called upon to swear to the
IdCCS In6 Nurse Sldleu IldI Slle COulu
not say that the body was that of the
woman who was under her care in the
eastern hospital.
Vault Is Still Guarded
Nothing more has been heard from
Fred Bielstein, brother of Bertha, and
who was supposed to have left a Los
Angeles bound train at Albuquerque to
return to Chicago.
Beilstein has written several letters
and dispatched many kilograms to the
local authorities and undertakers in
regard to the remains which repose in
the Evergreen cemetery vault, but thus
far his communications have received
scant recognition. Until Beilstein ar
rives in person all connected with the
case are disposed to disregard any COM
munications he may see fit to send
forth, as other members of the Bell
stein family are apparently opposed to
the plan of action advocated by the
brother
The vault at the cemetery is still un-
der the surveillance of two police Of
f1cers, who alternate on watch, and un-
til complete identification is made and
authentic authority for the disposition
of the remains is forthcoming the pres
ent policy will be pursued by the local
authorities.
The city health department received
the following telegram from Pittsburg
last night:
Hold body of Olga Miller for further
Identification as Bertha Beilstein.

"ConserVator of state and person of
Bertha Beilstein for Pittsburg rela-
tives."

DECIDES WIFE IS
NOT A DESERTER
Judge Refuses to Grant a Divorce to
William Venter on Allegation
That the Woman Has
Left Him

On the ground that less than one
years absence from home did not con-
stitute desertion, as implied in the
statute. Judge Monroe, in the superior
court, yesterday refused to grant a
divorce to William Venter.
The defendant, Mrs. Mabel Venter,
was not in court when the case was
called for trial and the examination of
witnesses proceeded.
Venter testified that his wife had
left him several times in the last two
years and that this time he thought
she was gone for good. 49,
In response to a question by the
court he stated that she had left him
the last time in September and that he
had seen her but once or twice since.
Upon hearing this the court denied the
decree.

ical board says that Schieke is an
old hand at the business and mas
practiced medicine in several towns
without license. He has lot of
advertising matter which can be used
in any locality. Bennett hopes he will
get a sentence this time which will
cause him to cease his practices.

HUSBAND SPENDS
TOO MUCH MONEY
Woman Asks Divorce Because Spouse
Scattered Five Thousand in Two
Weeks and She Got
None of It

Because her husband spent $4,000 in
three weeks Mrs. Julia Wandell has
brought suit in the superior court for a
divorce on the charge of cruelty.
Judge Monroe suggested that the
complaint be amended to charge inf
deity instead of cruelty, and intimated
that he would render a decision in favor
of the plaintiff.
The defendant, Stillwell Wandell, is
a part owner of the Greenwater cop
per mine in Death Valley, and has large
interests at Goldfield.
He is said to have made his wife a
large settlement a few weeks ago and
had then agreed not to contest the ac-
tion for divorce.

MALIBU RANCH
IS NOT OPENED
REPORTS TO THE CONTRARY
PROVE ERRONEOUS
Ranckers and Homesteaders Refused
Right of Way Through Property
and Hope Is Again
Deferred

| Contrary to all reports and state
ments by those who were supposed to
be in close touch with the situation the
gates of the Malibu ranch will remain
closed to the general public and nc
roadway through the big domain will
be made.
For some time it has been reported
that the Rlndge estate, which owns the
magnificent property, had finally de-
cided to allow farmers and others liv-
ing beyond the Malibu to cut through
the ranch, and thus obtain easy access
to Santa Monica and Los Angeles. The
news was hailed with JOY by those who
were forced to make a wide detour to
reach their destination this side of the
Malibu, and for a while the farmers
and homeSteaders thought their road
troubles were things of the past.
But such was not the case. On Mon
day Rancher Richardson, who lives on
the other side of the Rindge property,
applied to Manager Darlington of the
Malibu for permission to pass through
the estate, and his request was met
with instant refusal.
Manager Darlington, in maintaining
his position, states that he would just
as soon allow Richardson right of way
DuL lOT IIle ldCL that ne COulQ nOL 40
SO without being forced to take the
same favorable action for everyone
who came along.
That this would not be feasible in
conducting the estate as it should be
has been aptly Illustrated. During the
life of friedrich Rindge, whose heirs
now own the Malibu, the well known
philanthropist proposed to make of the
magnificent domain a public hunting
ground for those who were unable to
pay the large fees demanded by regu-
lar gun clubs, and preserved sections
of marsh and weed. Mr.. Rindge gave
public notice that the Malibu was open
to all who desired to hunt thereon, and
the poorer class of sportsmen were
consequently gratified.
Show Ingratitude
That these so-called sportsmen were
poor, both in pocket and courtesy to
the man who had done so much for
them, was attested to a few weeks
later when careless wanderers set fire
to several of the outhouses and hay
depositarier connected with the ranch
and burned large tracts of wooded
mountains through their carelessness in
leaving camp fires smouldering.
The damage done was so great that |
even Mr.. Rindge's we'll known philan- |
thropy was checked, and the Malibu
was soon locked and barred again
Since that time many attempts have
been made to break through the prop |
erty, but so far the managers of the
estate have successfully resisted the
efforts of trespassers and homestead
ers who would settle on the public |
lands beyond the Malibu. The attitude
of Manager Darlington in refusing to |
grant Richardson a permit is, accord
ing to the managers statement, but
protecting measure to keep intact the
under his control, and in no
wise a move to keep settlers from ap-
and homesteading on gov
ernment lands beyond the big estate.
