WOMEN ARRESTED IN
CAFES PUT ON TRIAL
Twenty Appear in Police Justice
Roses Court, and Many Others
Forfeit Bail by Absentins
Themselves

Some penitent, some defiant, twenty
women, arrested by the police in down
town cafes, appeared in Police Justice
Roses court yesterday morning to race
charges preferred by officers who were
detailed to rid the city of such persons.
Since the closing of the district IN
which this class of women was al
lowed to ply it's trade the former IN
mates have scattered over the city ana
at nights congregate in the notorious
cafes, where they seek their victims.
Numerous complaints have been re-
ceived by the police against this class,
and it was decided to arrest all such
persons found frequenting these places
and lock them up.
Some of the women had the appear
ance of a life of dissipation, While
others showed marks of good breeding
and refinement
Some hung their heads in shame,
while the others gazed about brazenly
and stared out of countenance the
crowd of men who had gathered. Some
of these men were present out of NOR
bid curiosity-to gloat over such mat
ters-while others appeared because
their lovers were in custody. All In all
the crowd that thronged the courtroom
was disgusting.
e. Byran, Helen Gruber, Ella Moore,
Virginia Ray and Jennie Warner
pleaded guilty and were fined $50 each.
They were unable to pay their fines
and were sent back to Jail in the
matron's department.
A number of women pleaded not
guilty and demanded jury trials, while
others who failed to appear forfeited
the bail money deposited for their APP
pearance.

CANDY FACTORY EMPLOYEES
GUESTS OF AMITIE CLUB
Organization Entertains Bishop G.
Co.'s Entire Force at the Busi-
ness Headquarters

The Amitic club which was formed
at the Bishop candy factory last Oc-
tober by the Y. w. G. A. of Los An
geles, and is composed of employees of
the factory, played host to the entire
force last night with an entertainment
and fashioned New England din
ner.
Through the courtesy of the Bishop
company one of the large rooms was
cleared for the occasion. and 21o en-
ployes passed an evening of merry
making.
The tables, which were Hastily deco
rated with the club colors. pink and
green. were arranged in the form of a
swastika, the sign of good luck.
Everything dear to the hearts of
old New Englanders was served, and
the best of fellowship prevailed. Paul
Hazeltine, manager of the Bishop
company, complimented the young
women on their progressive spirit, and
the good that the club has accom-
plished among the employees.
Miss Neva Chapel, extension secre-
tary of the Y w. c. A, and Miss
Frances Holmes, advertising manager
of the Bishop factory, also spoke.
An entertainment, consisting of
musical and literary numbers and Sc
lections by the club orchestra, rounded
out a very enjoyable evening.
Although the Amitie club has been
in existence only six months 1t has
accomplished much, chief among which
has been the installation of a branch
OF the public library in the factory
for the use of all employees. Miss May
Torndoff, president of the club, Is en-
thusiastic over it's future and has
planned other social and literary meet

"SUlT CASE BABY" is
THRIVING IN INCUBATOR
Infant Which Was Left to Die by
Its Mother Wakes
Fat

Snugly ensconced in a sheath of
down the Tsuit case baby" is waxing
fat in his tiny incubator at the exhibit
in the Made in Southern California ex-
position.
Since the mite was found tucked in
a suit case on the lawn in front of the
home of Peter Ostrich, S12 California,
Monday morning, it has steadily grown
stronger.
At the exposition it is the center of
all eyes, and numerous telephone calls
are received inquiring as to it's condi-
ton. Fred Hurt, the wagonman at
the central station, has made arrange
ments with the officials of the expo
sition to adopt the baby when it be-
comes older.
Estella M. Copely, the young woman
who was placed under arrest shortly
after the baby was found and who adj
mits being its mother, is still at the
county hospital.

TO PROVE SPIRIT
INFLUENCED WILL
PHYSICIAN TELLS OF WIFE IN
GHOSTLY REALM
Doctor Says Former Patient Believed
He Had Been Married to Woman
for Four Hundred
Years

Further testimony tending to prove
that Richard Crawford Smith, whose
will is in contest in Judge Rives'
court, believed his actions were gov
erned by denizens of the spirit world,
was given yesterday when DR.. Thomas
Davidson, who, as Mr.. Smiths ply
stefan. had an opportunity to note the
old man closely. related some of the
results of that observation.
Mr. Smith, said the witness, told him
he had a wife in the spirit world to
whom he had been married 400 years
ago. Occasionally the patient would
recite poetry, penned, he declared, I'M
der the influence of spirits, Smith,
who was native of Scotland, told his
physician that all Scotchmen were
gifted with second sight" which en-
abled them to foretell coming events.
The allegation made by Smiths rela-
tives, who are contesting certain pro-
visions of his will by the terms of
which large sums were bequeathed to
members of a spiritualist organization,
that the deceased was addicted to the
excessive use of liquor, was supported
by the physicians testimony when he
stated that Smith drank four glasses
of whisky before breakfast and fire.
quently drank patent medicines by
the bottle when these medicines con-
tanned alcohol. The hearing was con-
tinued until Thursday.

TRIES TO TAKE LIFE
OF SELF AND CHILD
PenniIess Mexican Woman, Despond-
ent at Not Hearing from Husband,
Makes Unsuccessful Attempt
at Asphyxiation

Mrs. Victoria Powers, Mexican
woman, wife of L. Powers, miner,
attempted to commit suicide yester-
day afternoon by asphyxiating her
self with Illuminating gas. At the
same time she tried to take the life
of her 2-year-old child by the same
means.
Mrs. Powers was living at 222 Hewett
street. Four weeks ago her husband,
who had been out of work for several
months, secured place in the Silver
Bell mine, near Phoenix, Ariz. He left
for there, and since that time she has
heard nothing from or of him. Be
coming respondent and being penni-
less, she made the attempt to kill her
self and child.
James McDonough, the landlord at
the house where she lived, discovered
that something was wrong in her room
and sent for Patrolman j. II. Kenne-
dy. Kennedy opened the door and
found the woman and her child in
sensible, with the gas escaping from
one jet. He sent them to the receiv-
ing hospital, where they We're quickly

PLANNING FOR
CONSOLIDATION
CARE IN SELECTION OF COM
MITTEE
Keynote of Speakers Is That DelIber-
alton Should Mark Choice
of Important
Body

That the committee of fifteen, which
will have charge of the consolidation
campaign, may be composed of persons
prominently identified with the move
ment since its inception, and of per-
sonnet that will inspire confidence in
the voters of the cities that will be
effected by this all important project,
1t was decided at the conference In
the chamber of commerce rooms yes
terday afternoon to defer the appoint
ment of the committee until next Tues
day.
The keynote of the speakers at yes
terday's meeting was that too much
care could not be taken in selecting
the committee. 1t was agreed that
each member of the appointing COM
mittee bring in list of names and
that the committee of fifteen be chosen
from this list next Tuesday.
The suggestion brought up for dis
cussion by Niles Pease, president of the
city council, that no member OF the
city council or harbor commission
serve on this committee. was APP
proved.
This action was considered advisable,
inasmuch as the city council and har-
Dor commission will have to pass
judgment on the acts of the commit
tee, and although their services will
be sought and have been offered, 1t
viii only be as an advisory board, to
work in conjunction with the commit
tee.
Another question that was discussed
was the fact that there is no provision
made by law for expanding money out
side of the city for any purpose, and
it was decided that this cannot be
done until after consolidation has been
effected.
Every Interest Represented
Willis H. Booth, president of the
chamber of commerce, presided at the
conference and stated that 1t was the
purpose of all who have the welfare
of the consolidation movement at heart
that every interest should be repre-
scented and that as strong and infiu-
entail committee as possible be Sc
lected.
1T is the idea of ALL" said President
Booth, "that Wilmington and San
Pedro be represented and that no fric-
ton of any nature arise to interfere
with speedy and satisfactory cui-
mination of the consolidation"
Those present at yesterdays meet
ing were: Willis H. Booth, president
of the chamber of commerce.; Niles
Pease, president of the city council;
]. M. Schneider, president of Mer-
chants and Manufacturers association;
c. j. Nellis, chairman board of super
visors: George IT. Stewart, president
l1arbor commission; J. o. Koepfi. pres
ident Municipal league; Joseph H. Call,
president Municipal Waterways asso-
citation, and Captain Amos A. Fries,
United States district engineer.
Captain Fries stated that while he
would lend his assistance and advice
in the work, he did not think it proper
that he should be appointed on the
committee of fifteen owing to his con-
nection with the United States govern
meht.
The law affecting consolidation goes
into effect sixty days after the bill is
signed by the governor, and the idea
uppermost in the minds of all inter-
ested in the project is to have all the
preliminary plans completed in the
meantime.

LION WHELP PLACED ON
EXHIBITION AT EASTLAKE

Two lion whelps only AS hours old
were placed on exhibition at the East
lake park zoo yesterday by Animal
Keeper Rice. Mr.. Rice says he has
broken a worlds record in placing the
lion cubs on exhibition at so early an
age, as they seldom are shown before
they are at least 4 or months old.
These whelps were born in the park
last Sunday. The whelps were taken
from the mother and a spaniel is tax
ing care of them. The claws or the
cubs have been cut so tnat tney WIN
