JUDGE REFUSES TO HEAR
EITHER PARTY 10 DIVORCE
Statements of Mr.. and Mrs. Harris
Carry No Weight with Court,
Who Declined to
Listen

Judge Bordwell yesterday declined to
listen to statements of either T. H. Har-
ris or Hattie Harris, husband and wife,
but living separately, when they APP
peared yesterday to explain the domes-
tic troubles which led to a divorce suit.
Il might listen to both sides until
am black in the face and still be none
the wiser in regard to the merits of
this case" said the court.
The couple live in Pasadena. Two
years ago Harris left his wife. She
said it was because of his infatuation
for another woman. Harris makes a
similar accusation against his wife. He
appeared in court yesterday in response
to a command issued by the judge to
tell why he did not comply with an
order made in December to pay his
wife So a week pending the hearing of
the divorce suit.
Harris said he wanted to pay the
money, but when he called at his wife,
home he was ordered off the place by
J. H. Ellidge, and, of course, did not
return. Judge Bordwell continued the
order in force.
The following DEGREES of divorce
were granted yesterday: H. B. Man
chester from Alice B. Manchester and
Ada T. Anderson from Albert w. An
derson.
Two suits for divorce were filed yes
terday, Sarah Foreman against Samuel
Foreman and Margaret e. Owens
against NJ. T, Owens.

MRS. ROBES IN
GRAVE CONDITION
VICTIM OF W0MAN'S BULLET
NEAR DEATH
NElcHRoR WHO SHOT HER HELD
IN CITY JAIL.
No Charge Made Against Prisoner
Until Result of Wound Is Known.
Husband Secures
Counsel

Mrs. Rosie Robes, the young Span
ish woman who was shot by Mrs. Ag-
mes Mathewson Thursday morning,
passed an unfavorable day at the
county hospital yesterday and the at
PENDANTS say she is in a critical con-
dition. With her husband at her bed
side almost the entire day the wounded
woman was restless and suffered con-
siderable pain from her wound. Late
in the afternoon she became quieter
and sank into slumber The attendants
say she will live through the night,
but her chances for recovery are slight.
If she lives through the next two days
the surgeons says she will recover.
Mrs. Mathewson is confined in the
matron's department of the city Jail.
While the defense probably will be that
she fired the shot while suffering from
an attack of emotional insanity, she
appears to be resting quietly. Her
husband, Max Mathewson, visited her
yesterday afternoon and stayed a short
time with her. He has secured counsel
to represent her, although as yet no
complaint has been filed against her.
Until it is known whether or not the
wound will prove fatal no formal
charge will be filed against the prisoner.

Mamie McCambridge, 10 years old,
living with her parents at ITO North

at Court and Bunker Hill streets yes-
terday morning and struck her head
against an iron fence, sustaining a half
inch liberation over the right eye.
She sprang to her feet, wiped the
tears and blood from her eyes and hur-
ried on to school, arriving there on
time. The teacher bandaged the wound
and the brave little girl gave strict at
tention to her lessons until noon. When
she went home to luncheon her mother
sent her with neighbor to the re-
ceiving hospital to have the wound
dressed.

The little student burst into tears
when she. thought the surgeon was go

her bravery won the admiration of
the hospital attendants and she was
promised several varieties of doll fur
niture and candy if she would refrain
from crying while the injury was be-
ing dressed. She attemted to carry out
her part of the agreement. but was
compelled to cry just little bit.
Then to prove she wished to act in
good faith she released the surgeon
from the promises and admitted that
she did not keep her word. When the
wound was dressed and she left the
hospital she had the money to buy sew
eral nickels' worth of candy.

DEMANDS HE BE TRIED
BEHIND CLOSEDDOORS
DEFENDANT EXERCISES RIGHT
SELDOM USED
Englishman Charged with Perjury II
Registering as Voter Before Sc
curing Naturalization Papers
Excludes Auditors

For the first time in many years the
right of a defendant in q criminal case
to demand that his hearing be held be-
hind closed doors was exercised yester-
day by George Blair Purvis, who de-
manded that all persons not connected
with his case be excluded from Justice
Stephens courtroom.
Purvis is charged with perjury. He
was arrested two weeks ago after max
ing application for citizenship papers
in the superior court. At that time he
said he was born in England, and was
confronted with a certificate of regis
tration sworn to by him at Arcadia in
February, which gave his native state
as Illinois.
c. A. Baldwin, who acted as registra-
ton clerk at Arcadia when Purvis
registered, was the principal witness
against him yesterday. He had asked
Purvis, he said, to write his name and
state of nativity on a blank sheet of
paper. Purvis didso, giving his birth
place as Illinois, and swore that the
certificate which Baldwin filled out was
correct.
Purvis denied this statement. II told
Baldwin was born in England but was
raised in Illinois, and he told me H.
linois would do for a birthplace" he
said.
The case was continued until next
Friday. Deputy District Attorney Nc
Cormick. expressing the belief that Pur-
Wis might leave the state before that
time, asked the justice to increase his
bonds from $1,000 to $4,000 Justice
Stephens said he would decide that
question on Monday.

DISCHARGE OF CHOLERA
PATIENTS CAUSES FEUD
st. Petersburg Hospital Physicians
Experiment with New Anti=Germ
Serum Discovered by Italian.
Fast Abandoned

ST. PETERSBURG, Oct. "A con-
f1ict has arisen between Gen. Dracheff-
ski, project of st. Petersburg, and the
municipal sanitary commission over
the premature discharge of cholera pa
tients from the city hospitals. AS soon
as the attention of the project was
called to the danger of infection from
this source he issued an order that all
patients be detained until the cholera
germs had completely disappeared.
The members of the commission de-
clare this course to be impracticable,
so long as the epidemic continues.
Experiments are being conducted at
several of the hospitals with a new
anti-cholera serum discovered by an
Italian named Serimberi, but the result
so far has not been conclusive.
The rabbis of Sr. Petersburg have
recommended that the Jewish popula-
ton disregard the customary fast of
Yom Kippur, October 5, because alb
stinence is favorable to cholera. This
recommendation is said to be without
precedent.

Edward Martin, a negro deserter
from the United State navy and for
the last two months employed as a
chauffeur by r. F. Vogel, real estate
dealer was arrested at the home of his
employer at ALA Santa Monica avenue
last night by Patrolmen Glenn and
Stevens and lodged in central station
on a felony charge for which he may
be imprisoned for life.
Martin, who says he deserted from
the navy last April and for the past
two months has been living at the
home of Mr.. Vogel, had noticed on
several occasions the going to and COM

living at 1903 Avery street, who is en-

Miss Ralston usually returned from
her work on the last Hollywood car
and had several blocks to walk across
vacant lots to reach her home.
Thursday morning she left the car
at about l o'clock and started on her
lonely walk through the sage brush
fields. A block away from the car she
was accosted by Martin who demanded
her money. She told him that she
had no money and when he insisted
that he must have money she offered
him her watch. He took the watch and
inspected 1t, finally returning it to her
with the remark that he could get
nothing for it.
Then without warning he knocked
her down, rendering her unconscious.

Obtained Names for
Referendum

The Church federation, which has
been investigating the legitimacy of
the petitions for referendum on the
dance hall ordinance for ten days, yes
terday made public the deposition Of
the man who started them on the
track. He is Charles Townsend, who
swears that he was in charge of the
men who circulated the petitions. His
affidavit was given to Nathan Newly,
attorney for the Church federation, by
Rev. William, Ireland, superintendent
of the Sunday Rest league, and was
sworn to September 20.
Townsend says in his statement:
II hereby certify that to my own
knowledge 1 do know that names
sworn to on certain petitions of men
that have sworn to these petitions and
signed their names at the bottom of
said petitions, said petitions proposing
to stay the dance hall ordinance passed
by the city council from going into
effect, were obtained by men other than
those that swore to said petitions, and
that said men that signed said petit

ASKS UNDERWRITERS
FOR SALVAGE CORPS
M'KEAG SENDS MESSAGE TO
STATE BOARD
Says lnsuring Public Is Entitled t.
Same Protection Afforded Other
Cities of Same Size or
Smaller

c. e. McKeag, secretary of the board
of fire commissioners, did days work
yesterday in striking for the estab-
lishment of salvage corps while the
matter is still hot.
He sent an argument on the matter
to the board of fire underwriters at
San Francisco, which has power to APP
prove or reject the citys request, and
also prepared data for the use of the
local commercial bodies.
The resolution asking for the install
lation and maintenance of a properly
equipped fire patrol at the expense of
the insurance companies recites that
,''the necessity of the introduction of
this means of preventing fire losses is
very apparent, and the insuring pub
lie of this city is entitled to this pro-
lection, inasmuch as eastern cities of
the same classification and smaller are
afforded the salvage corps; also the
fact that the ratio of losses paid as
compared with the premiums collected
b. the insurance companies approx
mating one-third, not official, make it
possible for such installation without
working any hardship on the said in
surance companies"
The different commercial and civic
are promising their CO.
operation as fast as they are seen.

MITCHELL, WHO VOTED
TWICE, TO BE TRIED
Justice Stephens enders Opinion
in Which He States Defendant
Should Appear in Higher
Court

Robert Mitchell, real estate broker,
charged with voting twice in Precinct
q at the primaries, August IL, was
held to answer yesterday to the SUI
perior court by Justice Stephens.
Mitchell furnished $1,000 bail for his
appearance. Mitchell was arrested the
day following the election. In his tes-
timony he admitted having voted
twice. but declared when he cast his
second vote he had forgotten the fact
that he had placed a ballot in the box
earlier in the day. He made an effort
to have one of these ballots withdrawn,
but his request was denied by the cleo
ton board.
Justice Stephens decision is as fol-
lows:
The defendant, Robert Mitchell, a BUSH
ness man of this city, became interested in
q spirited contest at a primary election.
From a few minutes before the opening of
the polls until well in the afternoon Mr..
Mitchell busted himself in the interests of
the side he was championing. At times ex-
citement ran high. Early in the morning
he signed the poll list and voted. Three or
four hours afterwards he again signed the
poll list and again voted.
Mr.. Mitchell testified that when he voted
the second time he had completely forgotten
that he voted earlier in the day and only
discovered 1t when checking his poll list
with the official some time after the
second vote.
He Immediately telephoned his counsel
and sought and explained fully to his oppo-
site workers.
When the polls closed he made a state
ment TO the board of election and requested
that one ballot bearing the name of his can
didate be withdrawn and destroyed.
This the board very properly refused
to do.
Several witnesses have testified to Mr..
MitchelPs nervous state, and two opposition
workers state that in their opinion Mr.. Nit
chell did not know what he was doing.
From this short statement of fact it will
be seen that the only question left upon
which men may differ is that of intent.
If Mr.. Mitchell not cognizant of his
first vote when he placed his second, the
element of crime is lacking Otherwise
serious crime has been committed
The evidence this point, in my opinion,
makes it proper one for jury to carefully
consider and decide.
1t is not within my duty or authority to
find the defendant either innocent or guilty,
and my conclusion arrived at, after a pains
taking study of fact and authority. that
this case should go to the superior court,
does not decide that question Neither does
1t change the presumption of innocence
which follows to the conclusion of the cause.
whatever course it pursues after it leaves
this court.

CITY FORESTER HARPER
WARNS PROPERTY OWNERS

1--WE are issuing 100 permits to prune

per yesterday, land have been doing so
for some time, but even at that rate 1t
is doubtful whether people will have
their trees in shape before the heavy
get word to everybody. The police are
doing what they can, but of course
they cannot notify every property
owner.
1.-THE only way that the city can be
put in desirable shape Is for every one
who owns a lot to see to it personally
that his trees are properly taken care
of. Otherwise when 1t begins to rain
the time will be too late, and where
trees are left unpruned they may be
very disagreeable along the sidewalks.
This is especially true of the palms"
