such an extent that what little money
Parker had was soon Squandered. This
statement she denies, and declares she
has been compelled to support her hus-
band and herself practically through
out their married life.
When Mrs. Parker left her husband
it was reported in the north that she
had gone in company with a dashing
widow. Speaking to a reporter for The
Herald last night, Mrs. Parker said:
1.-The reports that have been circu-
lated about me in the north are nu-
true. Who can be meant by the
dashing young widow alluded to is
more than l can tell. l know no
widow, dashing or otherwise, with
whom 1 would be likely to run away.
/ said goodby to my husband when 1
left him. He was unable to support
me, having gambled his money away.
In fact he did little else but gamble
since we were married. He bought a
cigar stand in San Francisco, but soon
ii went to the bookmakers.
when we parted no plans for the
future had been made by either of us,
but l have quite decided to bring suit
for divorce. l will brine this suit, I'M
doubtedly. in the near future, and on
the grounds of non-support.'

WANT WHEELER'S
NAME ON BALLOT
SOCIALISTS INSIST ON THEIR
RECALL CANDIDATE
Arguments Presented to Show Nonl-
nee of Radical Party Has Right
to a Place on Municipal
Ticket

Judge Bordwell listened yesterday all
day, practically, to arguments IN the
mandamus proceedings brought by Fred
C. Wheeler, Socialist nominee for
mayor to compel H. ]. Lelande, city
clerk, to place his name on the ballots
to be cast at the recall election March
&C. Arguments We're concluded about
o'clock and the matter was submit
ted
Judge Bordwell indicated he would
render a decision some time today,
realizing fully, he said, the value OF
time and the necessity for a prompt
opinion in order that an appeal, If such
a step was contemplated, could be
taken without delay.
II was commended by Emmett H.
Wilson, deputy city attorney, that the
Socialists in nominating Wheeler by
convention did not comply with the
primary election law and therefore
Wheelers name had no place on the
ticket. No partisan feeling entered the
question at all, he said. it being simply
a matter of law.
Mr.. Wheeler's attorneys, A. R. Hol-
ston and Clarence Nelly, expressed
the opinion that the primary law was
not applicable in this case and that
the election could be invalidated if the
city clerk refused finally to place the
name of the Socialist candidate on the
ticket.
."The clerk has no right to raise OBJ
jections in this matter" said Mr. Hol-
ston. "If we are not entitled to a
place on the ticket the election is void,
as it discriminates."
Attorneys on both sides were closely
questioned by Judge Bordwell, who
seemed DESTROYS of becoming acquaint-
ed with all the facts in the case which
might have bearing on his decision
as to whether the party had the right
TO have it's candidate on the ticket.

BANKRUPTCY IS
FINAL CHAPTER
POUNDST0NES SEEK RELIEF
FROM CREDITORS
RUINED BY MINING DEAL, FIND
POSITION HOPELESS
Estimate Liabilities at $ae, 265 and AS
sets at Only $2o,o32-Daughters
of Family Find Employ

Another chapter in the pitiful story
of the financial ruin of ]. M. Pound
stone and his son, dealers in hardware
at 44O6 Central avenue, was begun in
the United States district court yester-
day, when the members of the firm
asked that they be declared bankrupt
Liabilities, according to the petition
are SS9,265, and the assets $20,O32.
Poundstone is the victim of what, II
is believed, will prove one OF the nlm-
siest mining sWindles carried through
for many years past. Since his dlscoV-
cry that he had given up all his world
~ possessions without any prospecI
of returns, Poundstone has endeaVored
to retrieve a part at least of his for
tunes. The task has been too severe
and relief, or surcease from misfortune
is sought in the bankruptcy court
Mr.. Poundstone's family have rallied
to his aid with comfort and material
assistance. Two daughters, familiar
with luxury and unused to the hard-
ships incumbent on women compelled
to earn a livelihood for themselves and
others, have secured employment In
department tsores, and their small
earnings will go to round out the ram
ily excheauer and add to the family
larder.
Accused Lie in Jail
e. Ellsworth Rowell ana A. Z. lie
Baron, alleged by Poundstone to be re-
sponsible for his downfall, are in the
county Jail, awaiting their preliminary
examination before Justice stephens,
the outcome of which will determine
whether they must go before a higher
court and stand trial on charges OF
obtaining money under false pretenses.
other persons tina nthe Poundstones'
who claim to have been victimized by
Rowell and his associates, were at
the district attorneys office yesterday,
and it is said that when the examina-
ton takes place irrefutable evidence
will be introduced by the prosecution
connecting Rowell and LIE Baron with
one of the most gigantic fakes known
in years.
LIE Baron, who says he acted merely
as a friend of Rowell, has disclosed
sufficient information concerning the
work to show how f1imsy was the
scheme alleged to have been conceived
bv his employer. Poundstone and other
dupes. it is claimed, turned their
money over to Rowell on the exhibition
of fake kilograms sent by lie Baron
under an assumed name.

HUSBAND OF
NEEDLESS JEALOUSY
PASADENA COUPLE TOLD To
SETTLE DIFFERENCES
Four DEGREES Granted on Ground OF
Desertion-Seven New Suits
Filed, Plaintiffs Being
All Women

Pasadena residents, to the number of
a hundred or more, were in the SUI
perior court yesterday to listen TO the
testimony or take part as witnesses
in the divorce suit of Mary l.. Pierce
against Ruel L. Pierce. 1t lasted the
entire day and ended in denial OF the
decree.
Mrs. Pierce charged her husband
with cruelty, arising for the most part,
she said, from his jealousy. She denied
he had reason to take exception to any
conduct on her part, claiming, on the
contrary, that his actions were not al
ways within the strictest bounds OF
propriety. She recited one incident
when a Mrs. Clark, a visitor, sat on
Pierce's lap, placing her lips into jux-
Imposition with his, to which he did
not object. Mrs. Clark also sent Pierce
flowers, said the wife.
Mrs. Pierce said she did not repri-
mand her husband for this conduct,
and therefore expected consideration
when, a week later, she was accom-
panied home by Mr.. Lockhart.
What did your husband do?' asked
the woman's attorney.
"He punched his face" she replied
Then he got a revolver and threat
ened to shoot me; dragged me into the
front yard, kicked me and tore my
shirt waist. He wanted me to get
down on my knees and beg his for
giyeness, when l had done nothing
wrong"
Mrs. Pierce said her husband at all
times doubted her veracity. HE told
me the only way 1 could prove to him
that | spoke the truth was by commit
ting suicide she said.
Judge Hutton told the couple to go
home and make an effort to patch up
their difficulties, responsibility for
lot oh ifniTl o
neighbors. 80
SIeepIess from Wrath
Estella Lukenbill, who said her hus-
band, Joseph H. Lukenbill, was pos
sessed of an unusually vicious temper,
was granted a decree. So uncon-
trollable was this weakness, she said,
that he frequently could not Sleep and
rose from bed at midnight to give vent
to unreasonable wrath.
May L. Teagarden said her husband,
George G. Teagarden. was so Negligent
concerning his marriage vows that he
essayed to participate as one of the
principals in another wedding cere-
mony, which was stopped only after the
newer object of his affections was told
of his position. A decree was granted
on the grounds of desertion.
Desertion was charged in three other
cases in which the plaintiffs were sue
cessful in securing DEGREES, Valvalee L.
Mcdonald being legally separated from
Donald r. Mcdonald, Florence May
Anderson from Charles J. Anderson
and Grace Bennett from John E. Ben
nett.
Seven divorce suits were filed as fol-
lows: Marie c. Craft against John r.
Craft, Minnie B. Jones against Frank
T. Jones, Agda S. Peckham against
George c. Peckham, Charlotte G. Whit
ing against Clifford r. Whiting, AL
vina L. Weaver against William j.

OWNER OF HOUSE DISMISSED

Mr.. and Mrs. Webb Hicks of Cole
grove, charged by Mrs. Magdalena
Montague, owner of the house in which
they lived, with arson, were discharged
by Justice Summerfield yesterday. Mrs.
Montagno said she believed the couple
fired her property in spirit of revenge,
but the defendants contended this ac
ton would be inconsistent with the fact
that they left their most valued pos
sessions in the house during their alb
sence the day of the blaze.
