STOCKINGS PLAY SHOCKING
PART IN DIVORCE SUIT

NEW YORK, March 10.-It was un-
necessary for John Aqueline to de-
scribe himself as the ''star boarder"
in the home of Mrs. Harriet Dupont
when he appeared as a witness Tor ner
in her divorce suit against John Iyier
Dupont in Brooklyn. Plaintiffs hus-
band is worth 100000, and If woman
with any claim on that amount OF
money takes boarders at all she VIII
surely have nothing less than stars.
Aqueline might better have called
himself the "star Witness Thats
what the women in the court room
audience thought he was when he told
about red-haired girl who wore
green stockings and hid under the bed
of man not her husband. AS mat
ter of fact, it was the bed of Mrs. Du-
points husband, according to the tes-
timony of Aqueline.
The hiding, he said, was on the night
of April IL, 1907, when he went home
and found the red hair and the green
stockings there when the Defendant,
Mrs. Dupont was out.
"Gayety was at it's height con-
tinued the witness, when key was
heard turning in the door. The de-
fendant said My wife!
1.-THE red-haired girl, after several at
tempts had been made to conceal her'
hid herSelf under Deu, MY eihpdl
rassment and that of Dupont when MS
wife entered the room aroused her sus-
picions, and she at once began search
through the rooms.
"On reaching her husbands room she
saw two legs covered with green stock
ings protruding from beneath the bed
She grabbed one of the legs and began
tugging at it, and finally pulled the girl
out.
Mrs. Dupont disfigured the girls
face with her nails, tore her hair and
her clothing. and then threw her down
the stairs.
After this incident Dupont's de-
meanor changed toward me. He ac-
cused me of having betrayed him to his
wife, and he has manifested his enmity
toward me by naming me as core
spondent in a counter suit which he
has brought for divorce.
my connection with these divorce
proceedings has broken off the engage
ments between me and a sister OF Mrs
Dupont, and also lost me my position
as clerk and bookkeeper in a large dry
goods house i'm Manhattan"
Dupont denied all his wife's allega-
tionS,

UNITE TO QUASH
EXCLUSION PLAN
SAN PEDRO VOTERS PRESENT
SOLID FRONT
FAVOR CONSOLIDATION UNDER
ACT RECENTLY PASSED
Saloon Faction Joins the Opposition,
Thereby Playing Into the
Hands of Their
Enemies

SAN PEDRO, March 10.--For the first
time in the history of the city, all fac
tions went to the polls today and voted
practically as unit on proposition
that for months has been burning
question in the minds Of the voters OF
the entire city.
Both those in favor Of consolidation
and those against it went to the polls
today and cast their ballots against the
exclusion of that portion of the city
lying north of Fifth street. Knowing
that the consolidationists now wished
the election defeated on account of the
consolidation law passed by the state
legislature which has provided an
easier and better method of uniting
with Los Angeles. many enthusiasts
did not go near the polls.
The total vote cast, including Termi-
nal and East San Pedro, was S0S out Of
about 1400 registered voters.
There were 164 complimentary votes
for exclusion and 639 against. In detail
the vote was as follows:
San Pedro city, north of Fifth street:
For exclusion, 80; against, 29S.
South of Fifth street: For, 40;
against, 32S
Terminal, north of the dividing line:
For, %; against, 80.
South, at East San Pedro: For II;
against, "a.
Totals: For, 164; against, 639
Practically all the work at the polls
was done by the opposition to consoli-
dation, the saloon men being very con-
spicuous. With three big automobiles
and a big three-seater the opposition
carried all classes of voters to the two
polling places.
Saloon Men Mystifed
AS soon as the consolidation commit
tee was satisfied that the saloon bunch
was carrying out its original plan of
voting against exclusion it quietly
withdrew, satisfied the vote would be
sufficient to insure defeat.
OF course there were many of the
consolidation majority who would not
turn at the last minute and vote
against the very thing that had been
preached to them for months. They
were afraid that consolidation would
not come, even after being assured that
the act had been passed by the legis-
lature. Some of these voters were very
sore when they found that the major
ity of the consolidation sympathizers
were voting down the very election for
the calling of which they had worked
so hard.
but Ille SOT6Sl puIlCH was lIle SetIooH
men, who were spending their money
to defeat an election which the con-
Solidation crowd now was as anxious
to defeat as they themselves were.
Many voters who have been opposed
to dividing the city now come out
openly for consolidation. Others will
be in line when the terminal rate ques-
ton is settled. The only wish of the
voters is that the election could be
held at once, but the sixty-day wait
will give ample time for San Pedro to
learn Just what the conditions will be
when the ity becomes a part of Los
Angeles.

Water Company
Pays Dividend

In the annual report of the Cold
field Consolidated Water company
mention is made of its first dividend
OF l per cent, which was a disburse-
ment of about $4,000 velvet. 1t is
the aim of the corporation to declare
quarterly dividends. The report fur
Their says that the company has L.
10000 gallons of water available
and that instead of only forty-three
hydrants, there will soon be a total
of sixty in the city.
T. B. Hickey was elected president,
l. B. Curtis, vice president. and
Charles G. Patrick secretary, treas
urer and manager. During the re-
port of the manager, he says in part:
eat the beginning of the year the
company had a floated debt Of about
100000; and on account of the fin
ancial panic the net revenue for the
month of February. 1908. had fall
len to only $1,000 for the entire
month. During the past year this in
debtedness has not only been paid
and some $4,000 has been expended
on extensions and Improvements, but
the net profit per month has averag-
ed between $4,000 and $4,000 per
month.
I'm January, 1908, the total gross
consumption of water was 5000
gallons per day, and in a year from
that time the average will be be-
tween 5000 and 100000 gallons
per day. This meant the company's
policy was revolutionized, and great
expense incurred to improve the
system to meet the increased de-
mands. In addition to this a general
reduction in rates was made aggre-
eating IL per cent on retail water
and rates, and all service con
n%ections are now being installed free
of charge from the company's mains
to the property lines.
