WOMAN WORKS WAY:
GIRL is STOWAWAY
Deserted Wife Compelled to Act as
Stewardess on Government Trans
port from the Philippines to
San Francisco

Compelled through her husbands s
neglect and desertion to act as stew
ardess on a government transport in
order to pay her passage expenses and
those of her eldest daughter from the
Philippines to San Francisco, while a
younger daughter concealed herself in
the dark and noisome hold of the YES
sci, was the testimony given by Mrs.
Mamie Benson in the superior court
yesterday when seeking legal separa-
rion from George w. Benson.
The woman was married to Benson
Tor the second time in 1903, a divorce
having previously been granted to her
on desertion grounds. With their
daughters, now young women, the
couple went to the Philippines, where
Benson was quartermaSter sergeant in
the United States army. Four months,
later, she said, Benson left her, without
giving any reason for his departure
Il lived on a government transport
for about a month"; said Mrs. Benson
'and just before the trip sailed was
given a position as stewardess. 1 used
my earnings to pay the passage ex-
penses of my oldest daughter, but my
other daughter came on the ship as a
stowaway.''
A decree of divorce was granted.
Stella Wentworth, who charged her
husband, John r. Wentworth, miner,
with non support and desertion, was
granted a decree of divorce. Since
their marriage in 1902, she said, Went
worth had given her only $25 in money
and she was compelled to depend upon
relatives for support.
Rudolph G. Kiesling's plea for a di-
vorce from Louise Kiesling on grounds
of cruelty was denied, and instead he
was ordered to pay his wife fixed sum
each month.
A decree was granted to Maggie
Whitby, who charged her husband,
Joseph G. Whitby, with cruelty.
The following suits were filed: Zadie
I. GetcheH against H. H. GetcheH,

NAUGHTY MAN STEALS
COUNCILMAN Y0NKIN'S
ONLY SUNDAY SUIT
Takes Clothes to Cleaners and Mid.
night Marauder Finds They
Fit Him, Too

Poor Henry Hiram Yonkin. What
will he do now when he wants his
trousers creased? His other suit was
stolen Wednesday night by some I'M
feeling wretches who have no consider
alton tor the dignity of a member of
the city council.
Mr.. Yonkin, who SO ably represents
the Sixth ward in the council, took his
other suit to a cleaning establishment
on Adams street Wednesday afternoon
to have it cleaned and pressed. Yes
terday morning while working in his
garden-he does that every little while
to make a hit with those captious
Sixth warders-the proprietor Of the
cleaning establishment rushed up to
him and told him that his clothes and
some others had been stolen from the

Municipal Affairs
SAY REFINERY HAS
VIOLATED ORDINANCE
Deny Permit for Gasoline En-
gine to Union ConsoIi-
dated Company


Alleging the Union Consolidated Re-
fining company has violated the city
ordinance by maintaining a gasoline
engine at it's plant, 1881 and 1887 Ocean
View avenue, without a permit from
the fire commission, property owners
in that vicinity yesterday filed a pro-
test asking the commission to take
some action.
This plant was destroyed by fire
February II, but the company is re-
building and the protestants declare in
tend installing another gasoline engine
as soon as the new plant is completed.
They fear this will be done without
applying to the board for a permit, as
it has been done in the past, they say,
but they ask that if a permit is pc
titioned for it be denied.
They show that by burning down the
plant is a hazard to their property and
that the gasoline engine makes it all
the more so.

GAMEWELL SYSTEM is
WHAT BOARD WANTS
Fire Commission Objects to Councils
Plan to Try Other Boxes in Uni
versity District - Other
Cities Satisfied

The Gamewell is the system of alarms
the fire commission wants and it does
not take kindly to the suggestion of
the city council that a district be set
aside in the vicinity of the university
where 100 boxes of another kind shall
be tried
In a report to the commission yester-
day Commissioner Kolff and McGarry,
who constitute a committee appointed
to investigate the matter and report on
the request of the council, submitted
a report in which they said they had
communicated with fifty-seven cities
throughout the United States and re-
ceived replies from forty-two.
Four questions were asked these
cities. What alarm system did they
use? What style of boxes? What
price did they pay per box? Did they
consider their present system the best
on the market and if not, what sys-
TEN was the best?
All the replies contained the informa-
ton that the Gamewell system and
boxes were used, the price paid, $125
a box, and that it was the best system
on the market.
The report contained recommends
tiOns for specifications for alarm boxes
that are more or less open and that
almost any manufacturer can make
without infringing on the patent rights
Of the GameWell people. The report
declared that the specifications as
drawn by the council would have no
other effect than to grant the success
full bidder a concession to experiment
with the safety of property and lives
in one section of the city and in the
event that the system prove salts
factory the city would either have to
operate a dual system or discard the
GameweH, which is satisfactory, and
install the new one at great expense
and with no better results.
The city auditor has been complain
ing Of the excessive prices the city has
been paying for the Gamewell boxes
and believes others as satisfactory can
be installed more cheaply. Awaiting
some action on this matter the city has
not purchased fire alarm boxes for
more than year and as a result there
are some of the new sections Of the
city, already thickly settled, where
there is no alarm box within a mile or
more.

INVESTIGATING COMMITTEE
RECOMMENDS PAYMENT

The investigating committee of the
Firemen's Relief association yesterday
reported to the fire commission that
they had looked into the claim of W.
G. Bress for $138 and recommended it
be paid.
Bress, who is a hoseman at Engine
company No. l, was severely scalded
while stoking an engine at the Pacific
Coast Syrup company fire, December
80, and has been compelled to stay at
home and nurse his injuries. The sum
he asked is the amount of his pay dur
ing his enforced absence.

Auto lamp Blows Off Mans Arm

BERKELEY, Feb. 25.-The left arm
of Walter Sheridan, a contractor of
Berkeley, was blown almost from his
body today by the explosion of an acct
ylene lamp attached to his automobile.
He was charging the lamp, when sud-
denly there was a binding flash, fol-
lowed by an explosion, which threw
him to the ground and shattered sew
eral windows in the neighborhood.
When he arose Sheridan found that his
arm was helpless, and on being taken
to a hospital it was found necessary
to amputate it a few inches below the
shoulder Among the windows broken
were those of a bird store, and hun
dreds of songsters made their escape.

COUNCIL TO OPEN BIDS FOR
RECALL ELECTION SUPPLIES

The city council will meet at il
o'clock this morning to open bids for
printing the ballots for the recall cleo
tion and for election supplies. 1t is i'm
probable there will be any bidder for
this work except the Neuner company,
and improbable that any other bid will
be considered if received.
Experience has taught City Clerk
Lelande that the Neuner company is
the only concern in the city that can
print the ballots as they should be.
Others have been given the contract,
but their work has never been salts

News OF the Courts
NEW JUDGES WILL Be
KEPT HARD AT WORK
More Than One Hundred Gases Have
Been Placed Already on the
Calendar for Their
Attention

When Judges William R. Hervey,
Leon F. Moss and George R. Davis, ap-
pointed by Governor GiIIett Wednesday
to the three new places on the superior
court bench Of Los Angeles county,
take their seats in the departments
over which they will preside, they will
be confronted with more than 100 cases
which have been placed already on the
calendars of the new departments. Ac-
cOrding to the terms of the new law
the judges must take office by March
Is, but before that time, it is expected,
they will relieve judges now sitting,
the latter being anxious to complete in
chambers a large amount Of work al
ready begun.
Commissions Of the new appointees
are expected to reach Los Angeles Sat
urday, or early the coming week, and
the oath of office will be taken before
County Clerk KeyeS Immediately on
their arrival. A meeting of the twelve
judges will be held within a few days,
at which the assignments of the new
judges will be made. The question of
most Importance, and one that has
created a great deal of discussion, con-
Germs men who will be named to take
the second criminal department This,
it is understood, has been practically
decided, Judge Davis being slated for
the place which would naturally fall
to the lot of Judge Wilbur. Judge
Willis has been assigned already to
the first criminal department.
Will Retain His Speciality
1t is not believed the new arrange
ment will have the effect of taking the
juvenile work away from Judge Will
bur. He still, it is said, will have
charge of the juvenile court, over which
he has presided so long and with such
good results, and will have a better
opportunity to bring this work to a
higher degree of excellence than that
which it has attained already
The two new court rooms in the an
mex to the county Jail will not be
ready for occupancy for two weeks or
more, and meantime arrangements will
be made for accommodations in the
court house and in a building nearby.
The grand jury room in all probability
will be turned into a court room, and
rooms in the Jones building on New
High street may be rented, in which
two judges will sit.
Governor Gillett's appointments met
with general favor in court house cir
cles yesterday.
