rect DRINK and jealousy were the causes
OF the row, 1t is alleged.
Welch was beaten into lnsensibiity by
his wife, the only other person present at
the time being Ed Bennett a Los Angeles

Welch resides in this city at 9O2 South

his wife was placed in charge of it.
Husband and Wife Quarrel
Yesterday afternoon Welch took one
of his regular trips to Watts to see how
the business Of the pool room was pro-

wife in an intoxicated condition and that
she at once began to banter him for be-

states that this Is not true, but that she
had been told these stories by other peo-
pie and believed them.
The quarrel ceased for a time and he
sat down on a billiard table. His wife
came up behind him and took his revolver
from his pocket and before he could re-

AS TO MINING FRAUDS.

The suppression of mining frauds
Is one OF the live questions of the
day 1t is not simple question. If
we should provide the means really
to SUPPRESS them We should come
TO state or national control of the
mining industry. Even then We are
not safe, witness many scandals in

lands and the administration of pub

And why should there be all this

there were no gold out of sea water

the stocks of industrial companies of
all kinds. II beittles the great min

which is especially guilty Yet it is
fact that because of the attractive
ness of the mining industry. the pos
sibility of hitting upon great bonan-

the public as to its conditions, it has
been selected by sharpers as fruit

1t is to he admitted frankly that the
sore exists.
All that the federal government or
the states can do in such matters.
whether they pertain to the fraudu-

functions. They can run down and
punish a crime committed; they can
not prevent the commission of crime
except by making it so dangerous to
be criminal that no one will risk be-
ing otherwise than good. At present
there are plenty of laws for the pun
ishment of crime. In this case the
difficulty is in proving the crime. The
states do not know how to exercise
their proper police functions.

extracts:
January was so mild that
most persons allowed their
fires to go out and did not
burn wood except for cook
ing. There were IA few cool
days, but they were very few.
Most of the time the air was
warm and springlike. Feb

days we're colder than any in
January, but the weather WAS
about the same. March from

April came in warm, but as
the days grew longer the air
became colder, and by the 1st
Of May there was Il tempera.
ture like that of winter, with
plenty OF snow and ice.
In May the young buds
were frozen dead, ice formed
half an inch thick on ponds
and rivers, corn was killed
and the corn fields were plant

became TOO late TO raise a
