HOUSE WAS NABBED
Hired Borse aud Carriage and
 Sold Inc Outfit.

Archibald House, ambitious and theatrically inclined, has caused keen disappointment to a number 0f fair maids in this city who were eager to appear before the footlights and receive the laundering applause of a highly appreciative audience. Archie will not star for the present at least unless it is In little drama which has for its theme the mystery of the disappearance of a horse and carriage which he recently hired at a livery stable in Hartford.
 House on the last day of last month hired an outfit from Livery man Charles II. Strant of Hartford for the purpose of doing little col lecting. He drove the horse to Win sted where he made a large collec- tion and in return parted with the horse and carriage.
 With the money obtained from the sale of the steed and runabout he was going to finance theatrical en- terprise. House was of the opinion that much talent was lying dormant in this city. So he proceeded to see W to advertise for young ladies with talent, he was not at all specific, just talent. They began to answer Kit tie, Mamie, Alice, Gertrude, the Meredith twins and the Rea sisters, Gwendolyn, Everbess, Grace, Flleusc and many others sent letters to House informing him they were the atrically fitted and would like to take an engagement. House was in a hurry, as his pipe convinced him he was to play Providence next week.
 But the police, the police are al- ways putting in. They received in- formation from Hartford that young man who did the get away act in that city a few days previous was thought to be in this city. This young man had fiery red head So did House. Of course that helped some when it came to picking cut the strangers in the town. House was not long in being located and at 5 o'clock Detective William Keegan and Doorman John Mates caught him on Center street. When search. led on Center street many of the let terS which he had received were in his pockets. House was taken to Hartford last night by Detective Ser geant Henry and Deputy ShertH Sheffield and was to-day bound over to the March term of the criminal court, under bonds of S1,O0O, in de- fault of which he was taken to jail.

BROOKLYN BRIEFS.

In view of the manner in which Alderman John Malone Is holding his own, 1t looks as though he may now surprise the doctors and recov, CT from the attack of typhoid fever
 John Sauchellie, who resides in this section, is said to have just completed two vaudeville sketches, Christmas Eve" and "A Cure for Jealousy" He expects to have no trouble in disposing of them.
 Several candidates will te re. ceived into the Brooklyn Athletic "'"h at the next meeting. The club has now very large number of ac- tive members, and the roster is in- creasing steadily. There seems to bc more applications for membership this winter than there have been in several years.
 There was much interest in the outcome of the case against Nils Rasmussen in this section and espec- tally on Town Plot. The fight pe- tween Rasmussen and some of his neighbors, during which the former was struck on the cranium with q teapot, caused more gossip on tine hill than any other affair in long time.
 With the coming of the cold weather the ice polo enthusiasts are beginning to get ready for the sea- son and already many applications have been sent to Joe Smith, who yearly manages the champion ice team of this section. There was very little skating a year ago, and the players were hardly in condition before the ice had disappeared Smiths ;.am was the only aspirant for honors a year ago, consequently there were not many spirited games. A few years ago a fellow. John Ma lone ny name, had an inkling that his bunch of stick wielders could outplay the Smith aggregation but in the series of games arranged the Malonians were not in it for a moment. There are some good ice skaters in this section and some in teresting games will undoubtedly be played if there is much skating.

Fadden hired the steamer Falcon, and
accompanied by the Rev. NJ. S. Me-
Gee, then pastor of the Methodist Epis-
copal church of San Pedro, sailed from
that port to a. point outside the three
mile limit and were married. Nc
license had been procured by the insis-
tent and over-anxious groom, who be-
lieved any law prevailed in such mat
ters, under such circumstances.
The couple on their return estab-
lished home at San Diego, where Barr
took up the real estate and insurance
business. In February of this year
Mrs. Barr was informed of q decision
handed down by the state supreme
court a short time prior to the marriage
which gave her much concern. Accord
ing to this decision a marriage on the
high seas can be contracted only under
the same circumstances and in the
same form in which the parties could
contract 1t in the state of their domi'
cile.
The domicile of this couple was Cali
fornia, and the only way in which q
marriage could be contracted was by
first securing a license.
Mrs. Barr at onqe came to Los An
geles and established a residence IL
this city, living at the home of hei
children by a former husband at 81.
East Fourteenth street. Yesterday she
consulted an attorney, and as a result
of this consultation the suit for annull-
ment of the marriage was filed.
Accompanying the papers in the suit
is the record made by the officiating
clergyman, together with a statement
from the Rev. W.. c. Botkin, who sue
ceeded him as pastor of the San Pedro
church, showing that the record had
been placed on the books of the church

that she could not repeat 1t, but did SO
later with little persuasion. Belcher
explained the impossibility of these
statements, saying he was not at nome
that day. He was supported by num-
Der of witnesses, but Mrs. Rieckenberg
was not without her own adherents,
and the case was continued.
When William Rieckenberg told the
story of Belcher's threats to blow his
head off, the latter gazed at the Wit

planned later by saying the article he
held in his hand on August 26, and

MARRIAGE ON HIGH
SEAS ILLEGAL, WIFE
SEEKS ANNULMENT
AFTER TEN YEARS LEARNS TIE
Is NOT BINDING
Romantic Trip Of Couple Out on the
Pacific to Have Ceremony Per-
formed VIII End in
Separation

Although thirty-five years had passed
over the head Of Mrs. Made A. Nc
Fadden, a widow, and forty years over
that of Frank M. Barr, real estate
and insurance man of San Diego, the
spirit of romance had not died in Their
hearts, and the love of tender youth
which leads to the destruction of all
things conventional was rekindled In
their breasts.
Instead of securing a marriage license
and having the marriage ceremony
performed in a quiet and accepted way
this couple wanted something out OF
the ordinary when they were joined In
wedlock, and ten years ago, or, to be
exact, on April 20, 1898, were married on
the high seas in the little steamer Fal-
con, the ceremony being performed by
an ordained minister of the Methodist
Episcopal church, while the witnesses
included the captain of the vessel and
his small crew.
The failure to secure a license, how
ever, has since caused complications
and has aroused a doubt in the mind
of Mrs. Barr regarding the legality OF
the marriage. This doubt had it's in
ception when, in February last, she was
told of a certain law on the statute
books of California which made it abso-
lutely necessary that license should
be secured before two persons can set
tie down TO the enjoyment of matri-
monia1 bliss or contend with the trials
of welded life.
Asks for AnnuIment
So Mrs. Barr has filed a suit in the
riage be annulled. She also asks to
have her maiden name of Made A.
Atkinson restored to her. .a.

MEDICAL EXAMINERS
ACCUSED IN AFFIDAVlTS
Woud-Be Physicians Declare They
Were Disseminated Against
When They Underwent
Final Test

The charge that discrimination was
shown in the August examinations con-
Quoted by the state board of medical
examiners is supported by number of
affidavits received in Los Angeles yes
terday. signed by different students
who took the examinations.
These affidavits will not be presented
to the board, but according to the best
information will go directly to the gov
ernor. Inasmuch as the board itself is
accused in some instances of favorltism
ii is demanded by those who signed the
affidavits that a legislative inquiry be
called for.
1t is said several of the afidavits
come from students who took the
course under DR.. d. d. Nice, and that
some of them swore to being supplied
previously with the list of questions
asked in the examination of August l

Into Court to Tell Why He
Does Not Support
Family

w. w. Post. who keeps a market at
410 South Spring street, says his do
nestle troubles are caused by the De
Blinn family mother and son. Mrs.
Gertrude L. Post retorts that her hus-
band is jealous. This conflict of opni-
ion has led Post to leave his home and
caused his entry into the superior
court to explain why he should not
support his wife and two small chill
dren.
Mrs. De Blinn and her son Clarence
have been boarders at the Post home,
and Post says he arrived at the house
one night to find the sons arm embrace
ing Mrs. Posts waist. Since then the
troubles have increased, and Mrs. Post
says her husband submitted to her for
enlightenment number of newspaper
clippings containing stories about men
killing their wives for misconduct. In
order that these might not be over
looked, she says he placed them be-
meath her plate at the dinner table or
pasted them on pictures about the
house.
The court ordered Post to pay his
wife 81 week. pending suit for di-
vorce, which has been filed by the wife
on the ground of cruelty.

Committee Appointed to Draw Up Res

Kerr for CritIcislng SUI
preme Court

Members of the Los Angeles Bar as
ISOLATION gathered in department five
of the superior court yesterday to con-
slider what action should be taken con-
corning the criticisms of the supreme
court in the Schmitz case, appearing
recently in Kerr's edition of the an
notated penal code of California, and
after an hours discussion a committee
composed of Frank G. Finlayson,
Wheaton A. Gray, e. w. Britt, Cyrus
F. McNutt and Lynn Helm was Sc
lected, and the recommendations of
this committee, it is expected, will be
acted upon favorably when the associ-
alton again meets Friday next.
1t is believed the committee will re-
port resolutions condemning the criti-
cisms, which have created great deal
of comment, not only in this county,
but throughout the state. Among the
annotations is a statement by Kerr to
the effect that the state supreme court
had employed cunning" and "subter-
fuge'' in writing its opinion in the
Schmitz case.

Architect Has Been Employed at Good
Salary, but Payment Has Been
Made in Stock of COM
panies

Stating that he had confidence in the
good faith of A. II. Puttkamp, an arch
itect, Judge James yesterday continued
the case in which Mrs. Mary Puttkamp
is seeking to compel her husband to
furnish support for herself and Two
children, whom Puttkamp is alleged to
have abandoned.
Thomas L. Box of the Western En-
cheering company, by whom Putt
kamp was employed at salary of $3.50
O. month, testified that this had been
paid with stock in various companies,
much of which, he believed, had been
disposed of.
Puttkamp has appeared in the SUI
perior court number of times during
the past year on orders to show cause
why he should not be compelled to
support his family, the case being as
often continued because of his repre-
sensations that he was unable to find
employment.

KNOCKED DOWN BY HORSE
WHILE CROSSING STREET
Travelling Salesman Badly Bruised as
Result of Runaway Accident on
Corner of First and Spring
Streets

Arthur Veitch, aged SIS, travelling
salesman for the Nelson & Baker COM
pany, was run over by a runaway
horse at First and Spring streets short
ly before 1 o'clock yesterday, knocked
to the pavement, badly bruised about
the face and body, and sustained a
slight concussion of the brain. He was
taken to the receiving hospital, where
he was treated by Police Surgeons Gar
rett and Wright.
According to witnesses, the accident
was unavoidable. P. A. stiles, mes
senger, was riding a spirited horse on
Spring street, when the horse became
unmanageable and started to run away.
Veitch was crossing the street, and
before he could be warned of his dan
ger was struck by the frightened ami
NAL and knocked to the pavement.
The injuries are not of serious ma
ture.
