News OF the Courts
IS DIVORCED FROM
'TWENTY-DAY WIFE
HUSBAND TELLS STORY OF
HARD LUCK
After Spouse Left Him He Says His
Father-in-Law Had Him
Arrested for
Perjury

Lionel E. Gollum, whose wife, Ethel
Gollum, lived with him only twenty
days after their marriage on October
Z, 1907, was granted decree OF divorce
in the superior court yesterday on the
ground of desertion. Gollum said he
entered his home the night his wife de-
serted him to find her penning a letter
to an attorney, Frank E. woodruff, the
contents of the epistle arousing his ire
and causing a domestic wrangle that
resulted in the departure of Mrs. Col
lum for Seattle.
Following his marriage, Gollum said.
he was arrested on complaint of his
father-in-law, F. C. Burris, who told
the district attorney that Gollum, when
he procured the marriage license,
swore falsely that his prospective
bride was Is years of age. Gollum's
arrest followed but the charge was
subsequently dismissed, it being shown
the girl herself represented that she
had reached the age required by the
marriage laws.
Judge Bordwell denied a decree of
divorce to John Hirsch, who charged
his wife, Anna Hirsch, with cruelty.
The couple were married in New York
in the sos. In 1902 Hirsch made a
trip to Europe. He discovered on his
return that his wife had, during his
absence, developed an uncomfortable
temper and his life was full of domes-
tic turmoil till he came to Los Angeles
four years ago The court decided that
further corroborative testimony than
that supplied by Hirsch was necessary
before a decree could be granted.
Sadie E. Mead was divorced from
Gordon p Mead and Mrs. M. E. Con-
stable from Charles w. Constable, both
plaintiffs claiming their husbands had
deserted them.
The following divorce suits We're
filed: Lillian Macdonald against John
A. Macdonald, Anna A. Crawford
against Elvin J. Crawford and Ellen
Walker against George H. Walker.

ROBBERS ARE UNABLE TO
OPERATE STOLEN MACHINE


ONTARIO, April IA large auto
mobile belonging to E. A. Parkford, a
local real estate dealer, was stolen
from the private garage at the rear of
his residence Monday evening. The
thief or thieves succeeded in getting
the machine out of town without be-
ing detected, and it is probable that
no trace ever would have been found
of it had not the party who drove it
away experienced trouble in running
it. The automobile was found five
miles west of Pomona.
From the appearance it presented
the machine must have been driven
hard. 1t was scratched and denied In
several places. The machinery was
also broken, giving rise to the con-
clusion that the thieves had aban-
doned it when it broke down and made
their escape.
Although the officials have worked
hard trying to find clue to the mis-
creants, their efforts have been fruit
less, the thieves having completely COW
cred UP their trail. The automobile is
damaged to the extent of several hun
dred dollars.

Present Income Sufficient
The senate finance committee mas

who declare the bill amended by the
senate will raise much more money

insists that no additional internal taxes
will be needed,
Great dependence is placed by the
senate lawyers on the work done by
former Senator Hemenway on behalf
of the new senate committee on public
expenditures. Information Is being
collected by him which will be used In
pairing down annual appropriations.
Senate leaders have taken the po-
sition that governmental extravagance
must cease. and it is reported that Mr..
Hemenway will recommend a reduction
of about $685. 100000 from the $15O,0O0,OOO

"GENTlEMAN JIM"
He Is JoIiying the Britishers on the
 Heavyweight Situation.

New York, Sept. 4.-James J. Cor bett has burst forth in righteous in dignation over the amusing Jeffries- Johnson situation. "Gentleman Jim" is now basking in the approving smiles of genial British music hall audiences. With true suaveness, Corbett has been flattering the staid and sport-loving subjects Of King Edward about the perfect build of their heavyweight athletes. He professes to hope that the championship of the big fellows division will go to the island kingdom in the near future. However. between teaships "Gentleman Jim'' has found time to take dig or so at the heavy weight situation
 In addressing a group of English men recently, Corbett is quoted as having said: 'I believe that Jeffries intends to meet Johnson. I haven't any special information on the subject, but everything points to his having let himself be tempted. Whether he will be able to do the trick if he and Johnson do meet is quite another mat ter. It will be asking Jeffries to per form a pretty siZable miracle in the ordinary way; but then that isn't say

ing that he might not be able to come back into the ring as good. or nearly as good, as he was when he retired. Any fool can figure out on paper that it wouldn't be such hard job, seeing that Jim is only 34, just a year or so older than Johnson. But then John son has never quit the ring and Jef- fries has. and it is just here that the trouble lies.
 By the way, I am really sorry to see so little chance of a British heavy weight coming forward and picking up the title. It is high time that a Britisher won it, and yet there doesn't seem to be much chance of the right man coming forward.
 T can't understand your big men. You have got a good few about, and I fail to see why 1t never occurs to them to have a try for the money there is laying waiting for them. i There's that big fellow O'Kelley the Wrestler-I met him in Manchester a man who was built expressly for the ring. He has got every physical point in his. favor and looks to me as likely to do far better in the ring than ever he could on the mat, no matter how successful he might be at the latter. Why doesn't he have a try? It wouldn't hurt him to make a trial,

VERT|SEMENT
DISPLAY OF THE TOGGERY IN
THIS ISSUE OF THE WORLD is
A BEAUTY - SHOWS MARA
THON RACE.

This afternoon, in New York City,
a great sporting event is taking
place. The Marathon race is the cen
ter of international interest. Last
year in London it was the chief event
of the Olympic games. Though won
by Hayes, an American, the sympathy
of the world was extended to Do
rando, the Italian, who was first up
to within a few yards of the goal,
then dropped from sheer exhaustion
and was unable to move another inch
without assistance.
The race is repeated in the Amer
lean metropolis today and many of
the same contestants participate. 1t
is, therefore, quite timely that The
Toggery is able, in its advertisement,
to present such thrilling picture of
the finish as their advertisement con-
tains. 1t is most graphic. The final
squirt of the winner, the collapse of
the exhausted loser, the enthusiasm
of the crowd and all, make it pic
ture of such excellence that it is
more than an advertising illustra-
ton.

CHILD IS STOLEN
FROM MOTHER
SNATCH UP SIX.
YEAR-OLD BOY AND ESCAPE
ON TRAIN-CAPTURE AT MIS-.
SOULA BY OFFICERS.

Helena, Mont, May SIN SEN
sational manner, 6-year-old Charles
Peabody was taken forcibly from the
possession of his mother at the Union
station here today by members of the
family of James Lee. The abduction
was accomplished by sheer force, and
apparently carried out according to
well-laid plans. The child was hustled
aboard a westbound Northern Pacific
train. A warrant has been issued and
| it is expected that the Lees will be
apprehendei at Missoula.
The boy is the son of Charles Pea
body, a merchant of Marysville, a
mining camp near here. Lee is a
section foreman who has, until re-
Gently, lived at the same town. At
the time of the birth of the child
Mrs. Peabody was greatly enfeebled
and employed Mrs Lee to care for
her baby. After her recovery, Mrs.
Peabody is said to have paid Mrs. Lee
what was due her and took the child.
In the meantime, however, the Lees
had become greatly attached to the
boy
Last week Lee was ordered away
from home and prepared to move.
They asked Mrs Peabody to bring
the child to them to bid it farewell.
All met at the station just before the
arrival of the ,westbound train. The
| farewells were said, and as Mrs. Pea
body and the boy were starting for
the street, the members of the Lee
| family bounced upon her, wrested the
child from her possession and board
ed the train just as it was pulling
out of the station.
! The mother was so astonished at
/ the action of the Lees that she could
make no cutlery, while her friend was
given a stern warning to keep silent,
"that it was none of her business. "
This injunction was obeyed.
/ The spectators to the sensational
scene were too bewildered to realize
the full purpore of the affair until
after the train pulled out. Recovering
her wits, the mother quickly hurried
up town, secured counsel and visited
the courthouse, where the warrant
was secured.
A special to the Record from Mis-
soula states that Lee was arrested
upon the arrival of the train there
and he and the child are probably
now in the custody of the officials.
Sheriff Higgins departed this after
noon for Missoula and will restore
the child to its mother, while Lee
will be prosecuted on a kidnapping
charge.
