Quarrel Between a San Bernardino
Couple Leads to Disclosures Which

SAN BERNARDINO, May ga
sensation has been caused by develop
ments following an interlocutory de-
cree of divorce granted January u
last to Mrs. Grace Griffen from her hus-
band, Richard Griffen, formerly street
car conductor here. Griffen some
months ago suddenly left town and
took with him his wife's pretty young
sister, Since then absolutely no trace
of the pair has been found. Mrs. Grit
fen, who is a beautiful woman, several
months after filed suit for divorce
on the ground of desertion and was
granted the introductory decree.
Now the announcement Is made that
just eight days later, February 5. Mrs.
Griffen was married at Kingman.
Arlz., by Probate Judge Robertson to
Joseph l.. Annable of this city. Since
then they have been living quietly
together here, but few days ago they
quarreled and now have separated. AS
a result the matter has come to the
attention of the court and officers.
Under the California laws Mrs. Grif-
fen has no right to marry until she
receives her final decree, which she
cannot now receive because of her mar
riage. Bigamy proceedings are limited
at and may be instituted. The family
of Griffen, her first husband, Is inves-
tigating the matter and will without
doubt put up a fight to annul her in
terlocutory decree. Other developments
are possible

Special to Ihe Herald.
OCEAN PARK, May 2S.-A pair of
locally famous fast horses, Fred and
trip from Ocean Park to Los Angeles
and return in three hours, created Il
panic here this evening by running
away with a three-seated mountain
wagon full of enthusiastic citizens who
had been al a barbecue in Santa Monica
canyon, celebrating the license victory
in the recent political campaign.
The horses belong to Baker & Bender
of the Palace stable, and never have
been allowed out except with one of the
stable drivers. One of their owners
tarried to umpire a baseball game and
gave them over to E. M. Weaver, an
elderly driver; hence what happened.
The horses made a break at HOLSTER
avenue and strewed Main street with
celebrators all the way from Hill street
to the Rose avenue fire house, where
they ran against a telephone pole and
stopped.
Weaver was badly injured by being
thrown over wheel when the horses;
dashing past their own stable, galloped
over the unused and above-grade
tracks of the Southern Pacific railway.
His right wrist is fractured and he Is
otherwise injured.
Jack" a we'll known attendant at
the casino, landed head first on a con-
crete pavement and a surgeon took
many stitches in his scalp. Others of
the party sustained minor injuries. Half
a score of babies in carriages had
miraculous escapes from being run
down by the wild horses the whole
length of Main street.

the inside finishing on the Blacker
home at Oak Knoll and the construc-
ton work on the new $4,000 Gamble

to some of his men Tuesday that he

day to 1925 and SO, twelve or fourteen

ing will be held Saturday evening at

then be decided whether or not strike

BY the union men it is said that one
other large contractor and smaller con-
tractors all over the city have been
making cuts in the wages, but the cut
made by Hall. who has furnished more
work than any other contractor dur
ing the winter, resulted in the first
open difficulty. The men say that they
are anxious to avoid strike, but de-
clare that they cannot live on So per
day, and the general sentiment eX-
pressed seems to indicate disposition
to insist upon a return to the $3.50
scale as the minimum wage. They say
that an effort will be made tomorrow
and Saturday to induce the contractors
to sign long term agreement to keep
the minimum wages at $3.50 per day,
and they express the belief that the
effort will result in success.
Hall is said to be one of the last con-
tractors to have made the cut in
wages. He declined to discuss the sub
ject at length today, merely stating
that his contention is for a uniform
wage rate. Contractors also say that
there will be no general strike, giving
as their reason that there are many
men to be had, even in the event of a
strike. ut is a matter of the adjust
ment of supply and demand" said one.

averse to agreeing with all other con-
tractors to pay higher rate, but said

Action Respecting Proposed Gas and

LONG BEACH, May 2S.-For the first

power of the mayor was exercised this
morning, and twice, c. H. Windham
returning to the council both the gas
and telephone ordinances which they
had just adopted. The council has as
vet taken no further action on the
ordinances. Mayor Windham's acts
came as a rousing surprise. Ne said by
way of explanation that he considered
the ordinances class legislation, and
that he wished to make his stand known
at once so that it would not be said he
was Influenced by public opinion.
The gas ordinance provided that $1.25
per thousand could be charged, and that
20 per cent discounts could be given
back if bills were paid by the tenth of
the month. Mayor Windham, who is
supported by Councilmen Callahan and
Hoag, asserts that such an ordinance
would make the city a collection
agency.
Councilman Hoag introduced an
aomendment fixing the rate at 81 per
thousand, but Councilman Callahan
was the only other one of the official
body who favored such a rate. Thad-
deus Lowe of the Long Beach Gas COM
pany spoke at 'ength, arguing that
higher rate was necessary in order to
guarantee the gas companies profit.
The telephone ordinance as adopted
provided that the Sunset company could
charge So for residence telephones and
SO for office telephones, and that the
Home company could charge only $3.50
for office telephones and $1.50 for those
in residences. Councilman Callahan
stated in answer to the statement of
the Sunset company representative.
that there weru some telephones in
officec now at SO rates and some at $3.50
rates. Callahan endeavored to secure
an amendment allowing the Sunset
company to charge s1.75 and $2.75 for

cape and ran to the neighbors, where
she gave the alarm.
Officers soon found that Rowan had
escaped from the house. He was chased
through the willows some distance, but
not found. The officers, however, be-
lieved he would return to the house be-
fore he attempted to escape finally, and
in this they were right. He was easily
captured. Four small children who
were in the room with their mother
were witnesses to the affair. and those
old enough to talk say that their father

speech. Thomas j. Hampton showed
that, while in one year he had brougnt
st67 900 into Santa Monica, the spirit
of the place was such that he otten
wished he could get 1t all out again.
There was a jealous provinciallsm
among realty men and others when
had prevented development and ac-
tually driven intending investors away.
This statement was borne out by
Rev. Mr.. Brown of the Episcopai
church. A group of Redlands capitai-
lists, he said, had visited the peacn
looking for an opening for their money
and were so discouraged by the deroga-
tory remarks of rival firms that they
left discouraged and finally placed
their money in Long Beach. Yet Mr..
Hampton, after circling the globe,
found no place outside of Japan with
the natural advantages and attractions
of Santa Monica,
F. G. H. Stevens said exorbitant tax
alton was keeping people away, and he
pointed out that while the place boast
ed the most beautiful canyon drives In
the world, yet the Santa Monica Land
and Water company had the natural
approaches to these canyons closed to
all corners, and only persons with a
local knowledge and on horseback
could slip into them over trails that
are unfamiliar to visitors.
Several speakers agreed that the big
abandoned bath house is such an eye
sore that strangers seeing 1t hurry
away to Venice or some other place.
Another said the local ordinances were
such that any person seen on the
streets near the beach in bathing
costume was liable to immediate ar
rest.
1t was agreed that the city must
wake up and make itself rightly at
tractive. Then advertising would be
effective. Meanwhile the promoters
plan will be scrutinized by committee
yet to be appointed. but which shall
have power to act.
