WANTS PRENUPTIAL
PROMISE FULFILLED
WIDOW SEEKS TO RECOVER
HUSBANDS ESTATE
Says She Married Testator Because
He Agreed to Give Her Prop
erty Left by Will to
Granddaughter

Mrs. Caroline Shaffer, who, at the
age of "a years married John Shaffer,
a widower IA years old, after he had
promised to give to her all his estate
at his death, filed suit in the superior
court yesterday to recover the prop
erty which, by will, was bequeathed to
John Shaffer, an S-year-old grand
nephew of Shaffer.
Mrs. Shaffer says she demurred when
Shaffer proposed marriage in 1904,
telling her sutton she was aVerse to
living apart. from her four children.
Shaffer, she said, told her he had ample
means, loved her children as if they
were his own and promised to rear
them. In addition, he told her, &C
cording to the complaint that all his
property would be left to her at MS
death.
The marriage was solemnized short
time later and the couple lived to-
gether until March, 1908, in San Ber-
nardino, when Mrs. Shaffer's health
became feeble, and she was compelled
to return to Los Angeles to live with
her children.
Shaffer already had made two Wills,
leaving his possessions to his wife,
but, following her departure, he made
another will, in which his grand
nephew was named as sole legatee.
Mrs. Shaffer asks the court to decree
that the property is held in trust Tor
her. SLaffer's estate is valued approx
imately at $4,000.

FEARS OUTCOME If
STATE GETS HARBOR
Captain Fries Says if Local Control
of San Pedro Port Is Denied
California Will Be
Divided

IF the state legislature should insist
upon taking away local control from
San Pedro harbor it would mean a
division of the state of California in
less than ten years." said Capt. Amos
A. Fries yesterday.
His opinion was called forth by a
number of clippings from editorials last
week in San Francisco papers, denounc-
ing the Southern California vote on the
India basin and San Francisco seawall
acts, and threatening vengeance on Los
Angeles at the next session of the legis-
lature.
Perhaps the legislature will make ii
hot for Los Angeles county" said Capt.
Fries, "but an action of that kind will
not benefit San Francisco. If the legis-
lature should insist on state harbor
board for San Pedro, in the face of the
protest made before the legislative com
mittee, an agitation will be started in
Southern California that will not stop
until the state is cut in two"

Had Promised to Re-
form His Ways

In Denver and at one time employed

the Colorado metropolis, began hersu1t
for divorce against DR.. F. M. Taylor

Taylor charges her husband with de-
sertion, non-support and drunkenness;

The couple were married in Denver
in 1905 and came to California hVe
years ago, Mrs. Taylor saying her
husband promised to mend his ways
il she would settle in this state. Tay-
lor she said, has grown more d1ssl-
pated than ever. In 1905 she left him.
and later he sued her for divorce on
the ground of desertion, but decree
was denied by Judge Bordwen. Taylor
introduced many witnesses to disproVe
his wifes charges. The case is not

slider the tariff schedules on tiles, lime,
cement, carbons and kindred articles,
the committee put in full time at work
today.
In the course of the night session
H. L. Sheppard and Grin T. Perry OF
the Rockland, Rockport (Matne) Lime
company were put through a grilliGg
examination when they asked that the
present duty of cents a hundred
pounds on lime be maintained.
Mr.. Perry asserted his company was
organized in 1900, when seven or eight
firms were purchased. He admitted
that the price of lime had advanced
ever since.
Chairman Payne asked why his COM
pany was the only one that demands
a duty.
because we are so near to the Ca
madam manufacturers and because
ours is the best in the United States,
he replied.
-"Why, we have the best in the world
right in New York" declared Mr..
PAYNE, with a show of state pride.
Eyes. we sell most of our product
in New York." retorted Mr. Perry.

Using figures furnished him. Repre-
sentative Clark figured out that the
company is making "a per cent profit.

Tile. Crate and Mantel association OF
New York, asked that the crate used
to import quarries, which form the
floors of the humblest cottages, be ad-
mitted free of duty.
p. e. Cary and Hugo Reisinger, i'm
norters of carbon, asked that the tariff
of 50 a thousand on carbons or electric
lights be reduced in order that they
might compete with the National car
bon company of Cleveland, which they
said controls 80 per cent of the do
nestle trade.
]. S. Crider. representing that COM
pany, insisted upon the necessity for
duty.
Fillmore Conget, representing the
general committee of the state board
of trade on the mineral industry OF
California, asked that the tariff on
asphaltum be increased in the inter
est of American asphalt.
Frank C. Partridge of the Vermont
Marble company asked in behalf Of
those concerned in the production OF
American marble that the duty or
marble be left unchanged. He said
no objection was raised to the impor-
tation free of duty of true works OF
art.
In reply to a question, he declared
as vice president of the company OF
which the late Senator PROCTOR of Yer
mont was president, that Senator Proc
tor, despite repeated reports, did not
have one dollar invested in italian
