PAWNSHOP WIFE
MAKES TROUBLE
BERTHA KUHN AGAIN STARS IN
DRAMATIC SCENE
DEMANDS RETURN OF CONTRACT
FROM JUSTICE PIERCE
Quondam Spouse of Wealthy Glendale
Raneher Appears In Court
Room and Creates a
Disturbance

Bertha Kuhn, the "pawrshop wife"
whose experiences since she was mar
ded to H. b. Kuhn a wealthy Glendale
rancher more than two years ago, have
been varied, at times spectacular, Great
ed disturbance in Justice Pierce 8
courtroom yesterday when she demand
ed from the justice a contract by which
she agreed to give him half interest
in several cases of Minnesota land if
he was successful in defeating her
husbands suit for annullment of their
marriage. Justice Pierce won the suit,
but so far, he says, he has seen no
deed to the property and as it is tied
up in litigation he is doubtful il it
ever comes into his possession.
Il want to keep the contract as a
souvenir of a most interesting expert
ence," said -the justice
When Kuhn, more than two years
ago, entered pawnshop, he demurred
when the pawnbroker offered to sell
him wedding ring, stating he could
find no woman to wear the jewel. The
resourceful broker said he would sup
ply the deficiency and did so.
Kuhn's troubles began almost I'M
mediately and he was compelled to
give the woman a deed to his Mime
sofa land before she would take part
in wedding ceremony. Judge Houser
refused to annul the marriage on
Kuhn's statement that he had been
the victim of fraud. A few weeks ago
Kuhn went to the divorce court and
was granted a decree when he said his
wife had kicked him down stairs.
Three months ago Mrs. Kuhn was
sent, to the city Jail for thirty days
after a TRADE of abuse against Justice
Stephens, who had rendered a judg-
ment against her. She was again
threatened with arrest yesterday when
she appeared In Justice Pierces cou1r
and demanded a return of the con-
tract given him as a guarantee that his
fee would be paid. She filled New
High street with the sounds of her
hysterical cries and finally appealed
to Deputy Attorney North, who said
he would take the matter under ad

URGE MORE PAY
FOR MAIL CLERKS
BUSINESS MEN LEND HELPING
HAND AT LUNCHEON
ELOQUENT APPEAL MADE BY
NATIONAL VICE PRESIDENT
Facts Shown Prove That Men Who
Sort Letters on Trains Are
Most Poorly Peid in
Service

One hundred and twenty-five business
men who We're the guests of the Rail
way Mail association at luncheon at
the Westminster hotel yesterday noon
appointed a committee to work with
civic bodies of Los Angeles to secure
the passage of a bill allowing travelling
mail clerks expenses when away from
home. The committee consisted of j..
O. Koepf1i, chairman; Gen John r.
Mathews, F. w. Braun and c. w.
Plummer.
The action of the business men was
taken after an eloquent address by Ma
tional Vice President P. j. Shardt of
Milwaukee, in which the speaker set
forth the urgent need of railway mail
clerks for greater remuneration. He
pointed out that "a high standard of
efficiency is required of the men, and
the average wage is but $1100. Salaries
range from $500 to $500, but only per
cent of the men employed receive the
latter amount. The average clerk, he
said, is compelled to spend approx
mately $3.50 year when away from
home.
I'm order to keep the men and to get
the best clerks in the service salaries
must be raised" he said. Travelling
expenses must be paid. The railway
postal clerk is not we'll known. If the
public were better acquainted with eX-
listing conditions of the service, IL GER
tainly would not be long before assist
ance would be given. This is the only
department of the United States serv-
ice in which employees do not receive
travelling expenses.
1.-THE men want better cars, and want
the danger lessened, in addition to the
higher salaries and travelling expenses.
These things must be done in order to
maintain the high standard of efficien-
cy that has characterized the depart
ment heretofore"
