I shall call congress into extra session,

that consideration may at once be

hold Duties

Judge Houser of the divorce court
believes a woman who will desert her
husband in order that she may con-
tinue her labors as a station agent
should be given an opportunity to eX-
plain her ideas on female emancipation
from her own point of view, and for
that reason continued the hearing of
the divorce suit of A. f. Ham against
Matte Y. Ham until next Tuesday,
summoning Mrs. Ham to be in court
on that day.
Ham is postmaster at Gardena.
His wife is agent for the Pacific Elec-
trio in the same town. After protest
ing for several months against her
continuing the work Ham put his foot
down one day in December two years
ago and told his wife to quit. She did
so, but instead of quitting her duties
at the station left home and has not
since returned.
Two DEGREES were granted and two
denied yesterday. Those granted were
to Gertrude A. Wenzlick from George
Wenzlick and Lillian Mcdonald from
John A. Mcdonald. Denials were or
dered in the cases of Ella Butler
against Bruce Butler and Robert S.
Wickwire against Stella Wickwire.
Three suits were filed, Mary b. Ba-
ker against John II. Baker, Estella
Schoonover against John o. Schoon-
over and Christen Erickson against
Lena Erickson.

CHARGED WITH STEALING
MONEY FROM HIS MOTHER
Joseph Keyes Alleged to Have Taken
Sum from Mrs. Martha De
Turk

The alleged theft of $3.50, a portion
of the savings of Mrs. Martha de
Turk of Vernon for the purchase of an
automobile as a Christmas present for
her son, Joseph Keyes, led TO the lat
ter's arrest in San Francisco Wednes-
day and his return to Los Angeles yes
terday by Deputy Sheriff Claude
Mathewson to answer to a charge of
grand larceny.
The complaint against Keyes was
sworn to by Mrs De Turk, who told
Deputy District Attorney Mccartney
the money was stolen while she was
asleep in the afternoon of November 8.
Keyes is a glazier employed in San
Francisco. He came to Los Angeles
early this month to visit his mother at
her ranch home in Vernon, and, it is
said, gained knowledge of the fact that
his mother was saving the money and
the purpose for which it was to be
used. Keyes, said Mrs. De Turk saw
her place the money in a bureau
drawer, and when she fell asleep he
appropriated $3.50, leaving $3.50, and de-
parted for san Francisco. He was ar
raigned before Justice Ling, and his
preliminary examination was set for
Monday. He is in the county jail, un-
able to furnish a bond Of $500.

ON CURBING A POOR JOB
President of Improvement Association
Says Edge of Street Is Done in
UnworkmanIike Manner

Joseph Mesmer, president Of the
North, Northeast and Northwest I'M
provement association, yesterday COM
planned to the board of public works
that the cement work which is being
laid on Avenue 21, between North
Broadway and Main is not according
to specifications, and that it is poor

cracks in $50 lineal feet of cement curb.
This work is being done by George H.

lowest bidder on the improvement of
Cimarron street, between Adams street
and Twenty-frst avenue, for which the
board opened bids yesterday. AS Cur
It's was the lowest bidder, the board
had to award him the contract, but or

SUES u. S. ATTORNEY ON
NOTES VALUED AT $1750
LawIer Contends Paper Was Given in
Consideration for Stock in
Defunct Company

"Reminiscences of the stories of al
legged graft five years ago when the
building of the outfall sewer was up
permost in the minds of Los Angeles
citizens We're recalled in Justice Bord-
wells court yesterday in the trial of
the suit of Mrs. Marie Forester against
Oscar Lawler, assistant United States
attorney.
The suit is for the payment of notes
of $3.50 given to c. f. Forester by
Lawler and assigned by the the former
to the plaintiff, his wife.
The notes, it is claimed, were given
in consideration for stock in the Inde-
pendent Brick company, formed by c.
f. Forester for the purpose of supply
ing brick to be used in the construction
of the outfall sewer the securing of
contracts being made easy, it was
claimed at the time, because the men
connntcted with the concern controlled
the board of public works.
The company's life was short, and 1t
is LAWYERS defense that the payment
of the notes depended on the success
of the venture. The trial was con-
tinued until Wednesday, at which time
Lawler is expected to be present. His
attorneys contend there is,a bar to the
present trial because a case involving
the same notes was dismissed more
than a year ago.

CITY ATTORNEY IS
IN NEED OF REST
LOS ANGELES LEGAL HEAD Is
BROKEN IN HEALTH
Hewitt Probably VIII Begin Vacation
Next Thursday, as His Physician
Declares 1t Is Imperative
He Shall

Worn out to the point of collapse,
City Attorney Hewitt has been or
dered by his physician, DR.. L. M. POW
ers, city health officer, to go away
somewhere to get rest. MIR. HeWltt
will act on this advice, and If he can
arrange to do so will begin his Vaca-
ton next Tuesday.
He has been burning the midnight OIL
extensively ever since he has been in
office. and recently with the harbor
matters that have claimed his atten-
ton he has almost forgotten to eat ana
sleep. As a result, he is broken down.
Yesterday morning when he reached
his office he was taken suddenly Ill
and had to call for DR.. Powers.
The health officer braced him up for
a time, but sternly commanded hlm
to get as far away from the city OF
Los Angeles and it's legal cares as he
can.
Although he is a candidate to sue
ceed himself to the position of city
attorney, he is not making any cam
paigu. His only opponent is George
Edwards, the candidate of the Socialist
Labor party, and in the primaries Mr.
Hewitt received $4,000 votes. while Mr..
Edwards did not receive 1000 votes:
AS the only difference in the genera!
election December 7 will probably be to
increase Mr.. hewitt ledd, nc uOSS
not feel it is necessary for him to do
much campaigning, and he is not
physically able to do it If he did.
The council realizes the city attorney
is oyerworked, and has frequently Vol
unteered to increase his staff of dep
uties If he will signify how many he
wants. But Mr.. Hewitt is economical
in the management of his department
and prefers to take much of the work
that might be done by deputies on his
own shoulders.
