1T does seem strange how soon one

The deceased, William L. Annis, who
had b en- a friend, WAS within a brief
space Of time transformed into q uber-

woman and him continued until medical

The democrats are % explaining
Mr.. Hearst's charge against Mr.. Bryan
10 the effect that when in congress he
referred to the union men who were
appealing for a maintenance of tho
protective tariff as a lot of beggars.
When Mr.. Bryan was called down upon
chis proposition by a union labor man
recently, he simply reported that the
man was not a representative of labor,
hat he was hired by the republican
party. Nor has Mr.. Bryan attempted
20 show wherein he aided laborin any
degree whatsoever while he was a
member Of congress. Not one bill did
he introduce having for its object the
aid of w~orkingmen, and yet he prates
about his friendship for labor. Friends
generally show their friendship by
friendly actions.

1t is rather hard to say what the ma
tional democracy will now do with
editor Rider, who has succeeded Has
Kell as treasurer of the national demo
cratic committee. The labor unions
of New York brand him as an arch
enemy of labor and are demanding his
removal. Meanwhile Mr.. Bryan is of
fering no defense, probably fearing
that he will get into the same hole
with Ridder that he did with Haskell

MUNICIPAL LEAGUE URGES
ERECTION OF WORKH0USE
Added Cost May Be Met, Executive
Committee Suggests, by Increas-
ing Fees on Saloon
Licenses

The executive committee of the Mu'
nicipaI league has joined the movement
to force the city fathers to build a
workhouse.
Letters have been mailed to councll-
men who opposed the workhouse plan
and another letter has been sent to
Mayor A. C. Harper offering the sup
port of the organization in the mayors
efforts to get the workhouse built.
The letters sent by the league to the
councilmen contain these paragraphs
Our people recognize the fact that
the citys funds are in no condi-
tion to admit of unnecessary ex-
penditure, but this seems to be
matter of such urgent need that
some means must be devised Tor
obtaining the funds.
We do not believe, in view OF the
hard times, that the congestion Will
come to an end in a few months;
it is rather likely to increase. Fur
thermore, we believe that tempo
rary accommodations can be estab-
Ushed in short order adequate for
this climate.
1t is true, as urged by Council
man Clampitt, that there will be an
added cost of maintenance, but that
can be met by an increase in the
saloon license, a matter which has
long been in your honorable body's
docket waiting for action.

CITY WATER RIGHTS
FOREVER SETTLED
TITLE TO LOS ANGELES RIVER
is CLEAR
City Attorney Hewitt Gives Views on
Supreme Court Opinion in Old
Litigation Based on Wired
Extracts

In the water litigation just settled by
the supreme court, as City Attorney
Leslie r. Hewitt views it, based on tel
agraphed extracts, Los Angeles abso-
lutte right to the water in the Los
Angeles river is affirmed.
The city derives it's right from the
old Spanish and Mexican laws, which
are, in effect, that where a pueblo was
situated on a stream it had paramount
rights to the water.
English and American rights did not
apply in cases of cities under the Span
ish laws.
Los Angeles after the Mexican war,
when congress passed an act under the
treaty providing for commission to
pass on the validity of grants in the
southwest country, obtained a patent
to the six square miles comprising the
city, this being in 1866.
Then the Los Angeles Farming anu
Milling company raised the point that
the patent did not give the city the
right to the water, it not being mem
toned in the patent.
The city's contention was that 1t car
ried the water right by inference, as 1t
was not excepted.
San Fernando valley ranchers con-
tended that the state laws permitted
owners of lands alongside the river to
have riparian rights.
AS Attorney Hewitt understands II,
however, the highest court now holds
that the patent carried with 1t all the
old Spanish rights.

a total of 425 inches, compared to 12.37

WOMAN DIVORCED
FROM CONTRACTOR
SENSATIONAL CHARGES MADE
AGAINST HUSBAND
Man Is Accused of Being Too Intimate
with Women Other Than
His Wife-Must Pay
Alimony

An interlocutory decree of divorce
was yesterday granted Rebecca e.
Guenthart from c. B. Guenthart, said
to be the principal stockholder in the
Securities Building company firm of
building contractors.
Mrs. Guenthart alleges that she, to-
gether with two other persons, one a
detective, discovered her husband in
company with a woman in room at a
rooming house at Seventh and San
Pedro streets on December 10, and al
leges an intimacy between the two on
other occasions.
Guenthart. according to the testimony
of his wife, owns 25S out of total of
500 shares of the Security Building
company, and his earnings amount to
between $500, and $400 a month. The
suit for divorce and alimony of 5000 a
month was filed December 26, and an
answer denying practically all the alle-
cations was filed by the husband Janu-
airy 10.
The court ordered that $50 month
alimony should be paid Mrs. Guenthart
and that the husband should continue
payments on a home purchased some
time ago and that the property should
be given the wife when paid for.
