ASKS DIVORCE; WIFE'S
VOICE JARRED HIM
HUSBAND DECLARES SPOUSE
MADE HIM LEAVE HOME
Says Unfounded Accusations and
Dictatorial Manner of HeIpmeet
Were Too Much to Tolerate.
Other Cases

Because, he asserts, his wife
manner was dictatorial and her voice
rasping, and because she entered un-
announced the studio where he was
teaching elocution and later threatened
to kill one of his prettiest pupils, Nlr-
gil Pinkley, former instructor of elo-
cntion at the College of Music, Cincin-
natl, is seeking in a local court dl-
vorce from his wife. Louise Pinkley'
Mrs. Pinkley is contesting the action
the hearing of which occupied the
greater portion of yesterday, and VIII
be concluded today.
The couple was married in 1881, and
it was only few years later, says
Pinkley, that his wife began opening
his letters without his permission,
reading a different meaning into the
wording than was meant by the writ
ers. While he was employed at the
Cincinnati college as instructor he said
his wife frequently entered the class
room, greatly to the embarrassment of
himself and his pupils. On one occa-
sion, he added, he detected his wife
walking in the park near the college
carrying a revolver and threatening TO
kill one of the woman pupils.
"Tell us about that stage incident,
suggested Pinkleys attorney.
I'VE were preparing for an amateur
performance and the rehearsal was in
progress" replied Pinkley. my wife
came in. and in keeping with her die
tatorial manner and rasping voice de-
manded the stage for herself She got
it."
Pinkley said he has lived with his
wife only about three months in the
last five years, during which time he
has been doing platform work, being
driven from home on account of his
wife's unfounded accusations.
Mrs. Pinkley entered a general denial
to all her husbands statements.
The following DEGREES were granted:

ALLEN CASE IS
GIVEN TO JURY
NO VERDICT FOUND; JURORS
LOCKED UP FOR NIGHT
CHARGE OF PERJURY is FILED
AGAINST DEFENDANT
SLAYER of Constable Accused Of False
Swearing When He Denied
Knowledge Of Murder
at Little Rock

The Jury in the case of John w.
Allen, charged with killing Charles de
Moranville at Newhall January 4, re-
tired to deliberate on verdict at 4:lO
O'Clock yesterday afternoon and five
minutes later warrant was served
on Allen by S. l.. Browne, chief or the
district attorneys criminal bureau
charging perjury
The perjury complaint was hled IN
Justice Ling's court early in the after
noon, the charge being based on tes-
timony given by Allen Friday when ne
denied he ever had been convicted or
a felony and stated he knew nothing
about the murder of Amos Welchel in
Little Rock, Ark, May l, 1888, for
which crime a man bearing his name
was sentenced to five years in the Ar
kansas penitentiary.
An effort was made by the prosecu-
ton last week to introduce evidence
to prove that Allen was the slayer OF
Welchel, but this was ruled out by
Judge Davis, owing to the improper
certification of the court proceedings
sent here from Pulaski county, Ark.
Allen denied yesterday he was in
Arkansas at the time Welchel was
killed. stating he was in Macon, MISS,
then and claiming the tax records of
that city will prove the prosecution has
him confused with some other person.
The session of court yesterday was
taken up with argument by Asa Keyes
for. the prosecution and Fred Thomp-
son and Dudley w. Robinson, Aliens
attorneys.
"A short time after 10 o'clock last
evening the jury reported to the court
it was unable to agree on a verdict
and that it stood to 5. The court
ordered the jury back to its room and
locked up for the night.

Fiendish Murder of Anna Poltera
Causes Parents and School Teach
ers to Become Apprehensive
for Little Ones

The murder of little Anna Poltera
seems likely to result in a complete
cleaning up of the city. Following the
demand of the Hazard Park Improve
ment association, made on the council
by petition filed last week that Hazard
park, which is alleged to be an abode
for tramps, be freed from undesirable
frequenters, came another demand from
the school board yesterday for similar
action on the banks of the Arroyo Seco.
The principal of the Loretta street
school reported that hobos were max
ing use of a thick growth of willows
in the Arroyo Seco, near the school
house. and that small children were
compelled to pass this place going to
and from school, When the matter was
reported to the school board Foreman
Downie was sent to investigate, and he
found unmistakable evidence that
tramps did use this place as a camp.
The council is asked to remove these
willows to insure safety to the school
children.

MANY TO HEAR TALK
ON LIQUOR QUESTION
CHURCH FEDERATION TO AT
TEND COUNCIL MEETING
cerman-American Alliance Also Will
Have Representatives Present
When Matter Is Discussed
Wednesday Morning

If the council has the impression il
will be permitted to discuss liquol
questions all by itself when it meets
as the committee of the whole next
Wednesday morning it has guessed
wrongly, for the chances are the coun-
Gil chamber will be full.
Nathan Newly, chairman of the
civic righteousness committee of the
Church federation, has sent out large
number of cards to members Of the
organization asking them to be present
at the council meeting Wednesday
morning.
On the other hand the liquor inter-
ests and the German-American alli-
ance will be well represented.
The conference is primarily to deter
mine whether some method cannot be
devised to permit the organization
represented by the German-American
alliance to sell liquor to their own
members on the occasions of their an
nual or semi-annual social affairs.
These organizations have enjoyed this
privilege for more than twenty years
without question although it was a
technical violation of the law.
Another question to be considered
is the advisability of reducing the
quantity to be sold by wholesale houses
to pint instead of a fifth Of a gallon,
as the law now specifies. Some effort
may also be made to take the 200
limit off the retail saloons.
The Los Angeles Harness Horse as
ISOLATION will ask the council for a
special permit to sell liquor at Agri-
cultural park during the race meet to
be given there in July. This undoubt-
edly will be referred to the committee
of the whole to be considered in con-
nection with other liquor matters
Because of the threatened invasion
of the council chamber by the hosts of
both sides of the question the COM
mittee may make an effort to hold its
session behind closed doors, but the
majority of the council favor an open
session, as they fear they will be put
in wrong light il the public is COM
PEELED to guess at their actions instead
of having positive information as to
what they do.

INSIST STREET SHALL BE
ALTERED INTO BOULEVARD
Woman Property Owners Demand Inn
provement for Which They Have
Paid Must Be Made

A number of women with the fire OF
battle in their eyes called on City En-
giileer Hamlin and Park Secretary Null
lally yesterday morning. They are prop
erty owners on Elysian street, and
they want something done about the
Improvement of that street.
Efforts have been made from time to
time to improve EIysian street into a
boulevard but each time it has been
held up by the park department be-
cause that department did not have the
necessary funds to pay its portion of
the cost. The property owners have
paid their money in for the work, and
now propose to have something done
Immediately about the matter.
They were invited to appear before
the park commission at its meeting
Wednesday evening. They said they
would be there and from the firmness
with which they said it there is nc
doubt they will be.

POLICE BOARD TO HEAR
CHARGE AGAINST VACHER
Mrs. Giese Declares Former Doq Con-
serVator Used Fraud to Become
Special Policeman

A special meeting of the police COM
mission will be held Wednesday night,
when the charge of Mrs L. e. Giese
against Thomas Vacher will be heard.
Mrs. Giese alleges that Vacher OBJ
tanned his commission as special po-
liceman by fraudulently representing
himself as deputy poundmaster. She
declares he was never appointed dep
uty poundmaster at any time and has
no right to a star.
In refutation of this statement w.
w. Wideman, attorney for Vacher,
produced letter signed by George
Lawson, who was poundmaster, ad-
dressed 10 Vacher, in which Vacher
is called chief deputy of the pound.
The commission limited the witnesses
to half dozen on each side.

MURDER CHARGE
MAY BE RESULT
SISTER OF WOMAN POISONED
MAKES INVESTIGATION
BODY OF MRS. ARCHER CON-
TANNED sTRYcHNlNE
Deputy District Attorney Horton
Says He Cannot Act Until Report
of Analysis Made Has Been
Received

The death in January of Mrs. Jose
phine Archer, which it is alleged was
caused by strychnine poisoning, was
brought to the attention of G. Ray
Horton, deputy district attorney, yes
terday, when Mrs. F. W. Smith of
Santa Ana, a sister of the dead woman,
appeared at the district attorneys Of
flee and asked for information regard
ing the method of procedure necessary
before a criminal action could be in
stituted.
Mrs. Archer died in Los Angeles in
January and her body was taken to
Galesburg, ILL.,, for burial. About ten
days ago the corpse was exhumed, and
as the result of a coroner's inquest, 1t is
said quantities of strychnine were dis
closed in the Viscera.
Until we receive the report of the
chemical analysis we can do nothing,
said Mr.. Horton yesterday I'VE stand
ready; however, to do anything the cir
cumstances warrant. Mrs. Smith knew
nothing of the facts in regard to the
examination at Galesburg, and her pur-
pose in calling was merely to learn
what steps must be taken to procure an
investigation of the affair"
Attorney Edwin Meserve, represent
ing Richard p. Archer against whom
suspicion has been directed by Mrs
Areher's relatives. was also caller al
the district attorneys office and re-
quested he be informed should an in
quiry be instituted in this city.
The absence of motive for the alleged
crime leads many persons to believe
that the disinterment of the body was
due to suspicious in the mind of Helen
Carlton Marsh, sister of Mrs. Archer
and one of Archer's most strenuous op-
ponents in the probate division of the
superior court here when the arguments
for the appointment of an administra-
tor of Mrs. Archer's estate was being
heard.

ONLY INDIVIDUALS MAY
SECURE LIQUOR PERMITS
Police Commission Decides to Stop
Issuance of Licenses to Firms
and Corporations

The city commission made a ruling
last night that will apply in all future
cases. Hereafter no liquor permit fol-
any kind will be granted to a firm OF
corporation. The privilege will be
granted to an individual only, and if a
firm or corporation wants a permit ap-
plication must be made in the name oi
some individual of that firm or corpora
ton.
Acting on this rule, the commission
refused last night to grant a restaurant
liquor license to the Citizens Security
company, which is the real estate de-
partment of the Citizens National bank
The Security company conducts the
restaurant known as the Third Street
cafe in the Security building and which
was formerly occupied by the Fedora
ton cafe.
The representative of the company
was notified a personal application
would have to be made.

WILL FORCE MEDIUMS TO
GO TO COURT FOR PERMIT
Police Commission Decides to Test
Ordinance Under Which Fortune
TeIIers Secure Licenses

To test the medium ordinance the po-
lice commission last night Cancelled a
permit held by Annie Lehan, and will
force her to go into court for a man
damus if she wishes a permit.
Prosecuting Attorney Guy Eddie told
the commission that the ordinance as
it now stands forces the police COM
mission to grant a medium permit to
any one who may apply. He said the
courts in decisions so far rendered had
not given the commission the arbitrary
power of granting or refusing as it saw
fit, as it has in liquor, pawnbrokers,
auetioneers pool rooms and some other
classes of business.
The prosecuting attorney declares it
will be necessary to establish the fact
that the medium business is harmful
in itself before the commission can be
granted arbitrary powers.
