AS ADMINISTRATOR
PETITION BEING CONTESTED
BY STEPDAUGHTERS
Witness Excuses Applicants Partial
ity for Liquor on the Ground
That He Is a Southerner
by Birth

Scores of neighbors and friends OF
the family of r. P. Archer were in the
probate division Of the superior court
yesterday as witnesses in the contest
over the administration of the estate
of Archer's deceased wife, Josephine
Carleton Archer, who died January 2.
leaving property valued at about $4,000
Archer's petition for letters of adj
mfnistration is opposed by Helen Carrie
ton March and Kate Carleton Smith,
Archer's stepdaughters, who say he is
incompetent to manage the estate. Ac-
cording to one witness, Archer has
drank to excess, but the man on the
stand excused this on the ground that
Archer is a southerner by birth.
He came from the south" said the
witness, land likes to drink good
liquors and lots of them"
1t is also claimed by the ~tepdaugh-
ters that Mrs. Archer left a will, which
Archer denies. BY the terms of this
instrument, it is said, Archer was
given only $500. The case was continued
until February q.

CANNOT GET DECREE:
WIFE WAS IN ASYLUM
Plaintiff Admits He Never Wrote to
Her, but Says He Communicated
Indirectly Through
Brother

Charles W. Bowdish, who charged
his wife, Ida v. Bowdish, with deser-
ton because she would not come to Los
Angeles from New York, was denied a
decree of divorce in the superior court
yesterday.
The couple was married in 1879.
Eighteen years later Mrs. Bowdish's
mind became affected, following the
birth of a child, and she was placed in
an asylum. In 1902 Bowdish came to
Los Angeles, and in the following year
Mrs. Bowdish was discharged from
the asylum as cured. No friend or rel
ative met her as she left the institu-
ton, it was stated, and after making
a vain search for her husband she ap-
pealed to his brother for aid.
did not you write to her?" asked
the court, in surprise.
NO" replied Bowdish. "I wrote to
my brother. telling him to ask my wife
if she would join me. He answered
that she refused to come"
"Desertion is not a ground for di-
vorce in New York. said the judge.
'That fact aside, do not believe this
case should have been brought into
court at ALL
Hermenia M. Gavigan, who charged
her husband, John Gavigan, with nom

her husband, Alfred Auten, deserted
her, were granted DEGREES.

ans; H, Crane against Bessie Crane;

Encouragement of the courts. Judge
James, now presiding judge, will be
transferred to department one at the
expiration of his term, three months
hence. To this department all divorce
cases will be assigned for the year be-
ginning May 1, and this plan will be
carried out in the future, the divorce
court moving from one department to
another and being presided over by
the retiring presiding judge.
The question whether the time Of
one court could be fully occupied in
the consideration Of divorce cases was
discussed fully. Default cases are
being filed on an average of, perhaps.
five a day. Contested cases are few
and far between. The new arrange
ment will allow the court ample time
to consider minutely the merits of the
former actions, and, if need be, make
Investigations into the truth or falsity
Of testimony, without fear that the
hearings are infringing on the progress
of other proceedings. Contested cases,
on the other hand, may be carried to
their conclusion without the Interrupt
tlon so noticeable at present.
Plenty of Work Assured
That the new court will be busy may
be gathered from the fact that there
are at present 256 petitions for legal
separation which have not even been
set down for trial on account of crowd
ed calendars. This congestion will be
relieved with the addition of the three
new departments provided for in the
bill passed by the legislature recently
On the appointment of three new
judges by the governor it has been de-
cided to continue Judge Willis in
charge of one of the criminal depart
ments, which will be known as number
l. 4<I se.s
annex. The other criminal depart
ment, number II, will be presided over
by Judge Wilbur or one of the new ap-
pointees. Whoever takes charge Of
this department will be called on, it Is
said, to preside in juvenile affairs. Fol
this reason no decision has beer
reached as to who shall sit in depart
ment IL, it being understood that
Judge Wilbur is as strongly opposed tC
inal court as he is reluctant to give VI
the juvenile work, in which he has
gained a national reputation.
Fully Dozen Candidates
The new judges, it is believed, viii
be appointed about the middle o1
March. There are a dozen or more can
toned are William H. Jamison, Leor
F. Moss, J. W. Summerfield, r. A
Ling, Rhodes Hervey, Dana r. Weller
and Hartley Shaw.
The published statement that r. A
Ling was a candidate for the Office OF
township justice to succeed the late
E. E. Selph, was denied emphaticall5
by Mr.. Ling yesterday. 'I would not
accept the position under any circum.
stances" he said. 81 am a candidate
for judge of one of the newly created
departments of the superior court"
Justice Summerfield also declared
himself yesterday as working for onS
| of the new positions, and already ha;
been assured of material support.
1t would be difficult to pick a selec-
tion from among the applicants fol
appointment to fill the vacancy caused
! by Justice Selph. The appointment
will not be made by the supervisor.

SPOKANE GUESTS
ARRIVE IN CITY
TWENTY-FOUR HOURS DELAY
CAUSED BY WASHOUTS
Two Hundred and Eighteen Excur-
sionIsts Will Pass Week Seeing
Sights of Los Angeles
and Vicinity

Two hundred and eighteen members
of the Spokane Inland Empire excur-
sion to California arrived in their spe-
cial train Of twelve cars in Los Angeles
yesterday afternoon, tWenty-four hours
behind schedule on account of wash
outs along the route. The excursion
is under the auspices of the Spokane
chamber of commerce, and many
prominent business men of the north
ern metropolis are included in the itiQe-
rary.
Leaving Spokane February 5, the ex-
cursionists have stopped at twelve
points Of interest along the route be-
fore reaching Los Angeles, the termi-
nus of their trip. A week of sight
seeing trips here has been planned for
them by, Secretary L. c., Monroe of the
excursion proper will then disband and
the members, who have ninety day
tickets, will return at leisure.
The heads of the party say the train
of Pullman cars in which they have
been travelling through the inland en-
pire Of the west coast cost them 20,OOO.
Considerable annoyance was caused
by inability to secure accommodations
at the local hotels, which are crowded
to their utmost capacity. Most of the
members, however, found refuge at
the Hayward, which is the headquar-
ters for the party while in Los An
geles.
Today the excursionists will start
the Kite Shaped route, stopping at
their sightseeing trips with a day on
Redlands and Riverside, where they
will be entertained. Monday they will
go in a body to Catalina island. Tues
day will be passed on Mount Lowe.
Their time will be occupied by Tilton's
trolley trip Wednesday, and Thursday
they will be shown around the Balloon
route. After that many Of the excur-
sionists will take run down to San
Diego.
Among the members Of the Spokane
excursion are: Mayor Herbert G.
Moore of Spokane, William Cousins,
mayor Medicine Hat, Alberta; P. S.
Scallon, mayor of Occur de'Alene,

STABLE WORKER ENDS
His LIFE WITH ROPE
Dependency Consequent on Inability
to Quit Liquor Habit Assigned
as Cause for Deliberate
Suicide

After carefully removing his coat,
vest and shoes, Max Peters, 40 years
old, yesterday morning climbed to the
top of a pile of baled hay at the Pioneer
stables, 220 East Market street, tied a
rope around his neck, threw the other
end around a beam, tied it and jumped.
Death from strangulation resulted al
most instantly. Dependency because
of his inability to quit the liquor habit
is thought to have prompted the act.
The body was found shortly after
ward, and the coroner notified. The
corpse was viewed and ordered re-
moved to the undertaking establish
ment of Bresee Brothers. A certificate
Of suicide probably will be signed by
the coroner without holding an inquest.
Peters was unmarried and formerly
lived in Denver. He had been en-
ployed by the Pioneer stables for the
last five years.
