FEAR IN BATTLE.
Frederick the Great Ran Away, and
Grant Was Afraid.

Some of the greatest soldiers whose
names adorn history's pages entered
their first battles with feeling Of fear
In their hearts.
Frederick the Great simply lost his
head at the battle of MolwitZ. Had
he not been king it is safe to say
that he would have been shot at the
next sunrise In the heat of the car
mage he. got an idea that the army I'M
der his command was being over

horse and dashed headlong among his
soldiers. He rode many miles before
he stopped in his wild fight. Late at
night he was discovered hiding in an

WEEPS PROFUSELY ON
LOSING Her DIVORCE
MRS. BARNUM IN DESPAIR AT
COURTS DECISION
Judge Conrey Considers Extreme
Cruelty Has Not Been Proved and
That Young Couple Has
Much to Learn

Sobbing bitterly, her head buried in
her hands, and staggering along the
corridor of the court house supported
by the arm of her father and accom-
panied by relatives and friends, Mrs.
Edith ]. Barnum, disappointed at hav-
ing been denied a decree of divorce
from her husband, Oscar N. Barnum,
left the building in an agony of de-
spair. The case was brought to trial
yesterday morning before Judge Con-
rey.
The couple were married eleven
months ago and separated after three
months of welded bliss. Mrs. BarnuIn
testified that three weeks after their
marriage her husband shook his fist in
her face and made her give him $25 or
her own money and that subsequently
he again pursued the same tactics.
Then, about three months later. she
said, her husband ordered her to leave
the house. She obeyed the command
and went to live with her parents, MI.
and Mrs. John Eyre, 1175 East twenty
third street. which is next door 10 the
home of Barnum's parents.
1t seems that after the separation
Barnum went to live with his parents.
A short time later Mrs. Barnum, to-
gctifer with some of her girl compan-
ions, was playing ball on the front
lawn and when the ball rolled onto
the grass in front OF the house where
her husband was living he came out,
made some disparaging remarks about
her and used profane language.
The defendant did not appear In
court yesterday morning and Judge
Conrey subpoenaed Barnum to come
into court in the afternoon ana testify.
Barnum then declared he had not
forced his wife to give him money, but
said he had borrowed 1t from her to
make a payment ON place ne was
buying. He said he was married when
he was without employment, and for
that reason asked that the ceremony
be postponed, but his wife refused. He
said he secured a position the same
week he was married He said he was
unable to collect his wages on the date
the payment for the home fell due, so
he asked his wife to lend him $25.
"Did not you shake your fist in your
wife's face and demand that she give
you the money!" asked the court.
mo, sir; / did not. When 1 told
my wife what l wanted it for she
asked me why / did not ask my father
for the amount. Then l clenched my
fist and brought 1t down, saying: I
am independent of my father and will
NOT ask MIN for anything, and 1 will
never ask a loan of you again.
INV wife told me that she did not
love me and said she was going to
leave me-"
When asked about the occasion when
the ball was thrown OF his lawn Bar
mum said it was on a Sunday and they
kept rolling the ball on his side of
the lawn.

WANTS IMPROVEMENTS
MADE AT RESERVOIR
HAZARD PARK ASSOCIATION
PRESENTS PETITION
Council Asked to Appropriate $4,000
In Order to Provide Club House
and Apparatus for Chill
dren's Playground

Members of the Hazard Park I'M
provement association, composed of
residents of the First and Ninth wards,
have presented a petition to the city
council asking for improvements in
the Hazard reservoir site, now used as
a park, children's playground and pub
lie school site.
The council is requested to appro-
pirate $4,000 in the next annual budget
for the purpose of providing the neces-
sary apparatus and building club
house suitable for the children's play
ground.
The park commission is requested to
begin at once to lay out and beautify
that portion of the land allotted for
park.
The board of education is asked to
begin the construction of the school
house, to cost $12, ,000 provided for in
the recent school bond election.
The board of education, park COM
missioners and water board are asked
to give their consent to the grading of
Griffin avenue from San Pablo street
to CornwelI and the same improve
ment on Cornwell from Griffin avenue
to a point 100 feet north of Charlotte
street. The petition states this i'm
provement is urgently needed, as these
streets when graded will form drive
between Boyle heights anu East A%OS
Angeles. Furthermore. the temporary
street which was made by the chain
gang is inside the line of the official
street, and when the street is officially
graded there will be an ideal site for a
school house where the temporary
street is located.
Requests for arc lights, water mains
and that the street cars be compelled
to stop on signal at the concrete stops
on Charlotte street, are included in
the petition.

AT THE HOTELS

After a stay of three days in Los
Angeles the Cortelyou tourists from
Brooklyn, N. Y, left last night for
Santa Barbara. The 150 members of
the club enjoyed their stay In Southern
California. John F. Deyer, a real es-
tate dealer of Brooklyn, expressed his
surprise at the growth and prosperity
of the city.
II don't think many members of the
club realized that Los Angeles was a
city of such size and grandeur. l had
no expectation of seeing business build
ings of such magnitude as those on
Spring and Broadway. I have not in
quired into real estate values here but
from the rapid growth of the city do
not see how city property could fail
being a good investment.
Speaking for the club l will say that
the hospitality extended to us here
was nowhere equaled at any of the
points at which we stopped on our trip
across the continent"
