JOINS HUSBAND, BUT
MAY LOSE Her CHILD

Weeping bitterly and clinging to the
hand of her little S-year-old daughter,
Mrs. Nellie Kressler was yesterday
taken to the superior court by deputy
sheriff on an order to explain why she
should not give the child to the father,

Mrs Kressler was divorced from a
former husband in March, 1907, the
grounds for the action being cruelty
Later, she said, she met George Kress-
Ter, to whom she told her troubles, and
the mans sympathy soon ripened into a
more tender feeling.
George had been offered a position
in Los Angeles said Mrs. Kessler yes
terday, ''and after coming here wrote
and asked me to join him, which did
in October last, when we were married.
When 1 got my divorce from William
Rashford in Fort Wayne the court told
me not to take the child from its juris-
diction. l later consulted an attorney
and he told me 1 should go through cer-
tain formalities before taking Helen.
my little girl, away. I had no money
to pay for this, and did not know what
to do. A good man was waiting for me
out here, but the courts instructions
held me back. l finally concluded to
come at any cost and bring Helen
with me.
George and I have been married ten
months and our life has been happy
one My former husband has discov-
cred my whereabouts and l suppose is
determined to get the child"
The little girl was allowed to remain
with her mother until Friday, when
she will again be brought into court
and decision rendered as to her future
home.

STOCKHOLDERS ASK FOR
WRIT OF PROHIBITION

Claiming that in the appointment of
q receiver for the California Fruit
Growers association and the Rialto
Land and Water company the superior
court acted without sufficient notice to
stockholders, and that subsequent acts
or the receiver have been without legal
right, an application for a writ of pro-
hibition against the lower court was
argued in theNdistrict court of appeals
yesterday and later submitted, with
three days time granted on both sides
for the filing of briefs and authorities.
The proceeding grows out of the or
der of Judge James in August last APP
pointing Fred Griffith as receiver for
the association and in october naming
the same man to take charge of the
affairs of the water company. The re-
ceivership was the outcome of a COM
plant filed by Henry G. Dent, one of
the stockholders, who claimed the af-
fairs of the companies were in tam
gled condition.

INJUNCTION SERVED
UPON LOWE FACTION
MEETING PROHIBITED JUST IN
TIME
Attorney for c. n. Hayes Of Peoples
Gas and Coke Company Obtains
Temporary Restraining Order
from Judge James

Following an application for an in
junction restraining the Lowe faction
of the Peoples Gas and Coke company
from holding a meeting for the purpose
of electing a new board of directors for
the corporation, Judge James of the SUI
perior court yesterday issued tenn
porary restraining order and, with this
in his possession, W. N. Goodwin, at
torney for the Hayes faction. went to
the new offices of the company, chosen
by L. 2. Lowe, son of Prof. T. S. G.
Lowe, and stopped proceedings which
were about to begin.
The complaint asking for an injunc-
tion was fled by the Peoples Gas and
Coke company against T. p. Lowe, Os-
car Trippett and others, and claims
that none Of the stock of the company
is held by the latter persons, although
L. p. Lowe says he owns two-thirds
of the capital stock and Saturday
handed to the secretary of the COM
pany amended bylaws changing the
date for the annual meeting from jan
uary Is to August "a and selecting new
offices at S15 Coulter building, the Of
fee of Oscar Trippett The hour for
holding this meeting was fixed for IL
o'clock, and it was just seven minutes
before the appointed time when Good
win appeared with the restraining
order.
The controversy began nearly year
ago, when G. H. Hayes, wealthy min
ing man, purchased bonds of the COM
pany and took an option on the stock,
which has since expired. The Lowe
contingent claims Hayes won over a
certain number of the directors and all
lowed debt of $4,000 against the COM
pany to be sued and judgment obtained.
The Lowe faction then endeavored to
elect new set of directors which
would pay the Judgment, but the meet
ing was stopped by injunction. The
plant was sold to satisfy the judgment,
and was bought in by Hayes.
Yesterdays order was the third of its
kind iscued since the trouble between
the two factions originated.

LATTER COMES INTO COURT
PlTIFULLY ILL
Mother Explains That Order of Court
Giving Her Husband Permission
to Call Is Having Deadly
Effect

Pitiful indeed was the story told yes
terday in the superior court by Mrs.
Inez M. Adams, who appeared with her
17-year-old son, his wan face and ema-
ciated form showing evidence of the
ravages of consumption, to explain why
the husband and father is not allowed
to visit the little home in the Arroyo
Seco.
Husband and wife separated fifteen
months ago, and the latter has already
filed a divorce action against Lester
M. Adams, charging cruelty and intem-
perance. At the time Of. separation the
husband left his home. taking with him
a 14-year-old son and going to Eagle
Rock. Later the father paid visit to
his elder son, but the latter refused to
see him, and the courts were appealed
to. An order was made granting him
permission, and with the authority he
made a second and more successful at
tempt.
when my husband came to the
house, following this order" said Mrs.
Adams, ''he found the boy Lester lying
i'll in bed, so sick that he could hardly
walk. He was forced to get up and go
out of doors, where my husband told
him many things rejecting upon my
self The boy was too weak to defend
me and could only protest. When he
did this his father became angry and
abused him roundly. My sons condi-
tion, as result of his fathers visit, be-
came worse, and a physician told me he
must have absolute quiet. My husband,
however, came again, and Lester
turned his face to the wall, refusing
to see him. This brought forth fur
ther abuse and again the boys condi-
tion grew worse"
DR.. H. e. Stroud substantiated the
statements of the mother. The court
continued the case until Thursday, in
structing the mother to bring into court
the report of physician regarding her
sons condition.
