CLAIMS SPOUSE
BURNED PAPERS
MRS. PEARLMAN TESTIFIES IN
BlGAMY CASE
Witness States That Marriage Took
Place in Vienna and on Way
Across Ocean Husband De-
stroyed License

The trial of Jacob Pearlman, charged
with bigamy, was begun before a jury
in Judge Davis criminal court yester-
day and will be resumed this morning.
Pearlman is a Hebrew and accord
ing to Ethel Schwartz Pearlman, the
woman who says she is his lawful
wife and who brought the charge
against him, they welo married by a
Jewish rabbi in Vienna in February,
1902.
1--WE knew each other only three
weeks" said Mrs. Pearlman, and mar
ried in haste because Pearlman was
deserter from the Austrian army and
had to leave the country"
From Vienna the couple went to
London, and then sailed for Canada.
While crossing the ocean the woman
continued, Pearlman took the marriage
certificate from her trunk and burned
it.
Legal papers showing that Pearlman
filed suit for divorce against his VIE
in Detroit in 1906 were introduced into
the evidence, and it is claimed by the
defense that these papers make up
the only eorroboration of Mrs. Pearl
mans assertion that marriage cere-
mony was performed
Before the divorce action reached the
trial stage Pearlman left Detroit, com
ing to Los Angeles. A year later he
married another woman. Mrs. Pearl
man No. 1 says she was informed OF
her husbands whereabouts in August,
1908, and came to Los Angeles the fol-
lowing month. She had Pearllnan ar
rested on a bigamy charge IN DC
tober 1908, but owing to her lhaplllty
to establish proof as to her marriage
the case was dismissed by the late
Justice Selph.

Unusual Testimony Offered by Plain
tiff at Hearing of serWdo
Divorce Suit

Frank Servidio found his greatest
pleasure on holidays in treating ms
wife cruelty, according to the latter $
story in the divorce court yesterday
The wife, Mary Servidio, said she was
awakened by a sharp pain Christmas
morning, 1906, to find her Wrlst cut
and her husband standing at the bed
side with a razor in his hand. Inc
Easter following, she said, SerVldlo
threw a shoe at her, giving no rea-
son for his act.
Finally, added Mrs. Servidio, he de-
serted her and went back to his native
country, Italy. He often told me he
did not like American girls, because
they were too wise and too styIlsn,
said the wife.
"He told me he was going back to
Italy to marry a wealthy Italian girl."
A decree was granted.

COMST0CK APPOINTED
AS UTILITIES ENGINEER
Well Known Expert Will Aid Commits
sion in Public Work to Be
Performed

The public utilities commission yes
terday appointed Theodore B. Com
stock, a well known civil engineer, as
its expert engineer.
Mr.. Comstocks ~experience as civil
engineer will be Of great advantage to
him in the work he will be called on to
do while attached to the utilities COM
mission. He was formerly president of
the University of Arizona and since
he retired from that position has been
devoting his time to the work of con-
sulting engineer. He was at one time
at the head of the department of geol-
ogy at Cornell university.
During his experience he has been
manager of an electrical manufactur-
ing plant. He has been employed by
large corporations as consulting en-
gineer and it will be a clever utility
company that can make a report he
cannot see through clear to the bottom.
He was identified with the erection of
the Temple Auditorium and is stock
holder in that company.

WORKS AND HENDERSON
QUIT CITY CLUB OFFICES
Wish to Leave Organization Free to
Criticise If Occasion
Arises

John d. Works, president of the City
club, and Frank G. Henderson, secre-
tary, will tender their designations
from these positions when the club
meets at Levy's next Saturday.
Judge Works resignation was writ
ten and ready to hand in before he
qualified as a councilman. In his resig-
nation he says that he was at loss
what to do The City club is not po-
litical organization, and the position of
councilman is no longer partisanly po-
litical, but Judge Works said that the
club might at some time wish to criti-
else his actions as a councilman and he
wanted it to be in a position to do so
without embarrassment, and for that
reason gave the club the benefit Of the
doubt.
Mr.. Henderson, who is also secretary
to the mayor, expresses the same views
in his resignation. He would have re-
signed long ago, but the club would
not let him.

OLD COUNCIL MEMBERS
LOST IN PRIVATE LIFE
Retirement from Public Affairs Works
Hardship on Former Ward
Representative

Since they went out of office the
members of the old council appear to
have dropped into private life with a
dank and sickening thud. A few of
them fneander into the city hall once
in a while, in a lost sort of fashion, to
see if it is possible for the municipal
government to run without q wreck
when they are not on the jobs. Some
of them are looking for other jobs
since they lost their salaries of $100 q
month and perquisites.
Barney Healy's income as a member
of the council seems to have been
spent freely. Healy'S faults did not
include niggardliness, and no tale of
hard luck ever failed to reach his
pocketbook.
The other mem bers of the council
appear to be able to sit around for q
while and wait for something to turn
up. Several of them were in business.
Former President Pease retired from
business before he was elected to the
council. He is rated close to a million
and he doesn't lose any sleep over
the source of tOmorroW's dinner
r. w. Dromgold was passing out
cards yesterday which read, Land and
business agent" Mr.. Dromgold said
he expected to get into the real estate
business on a large scale, but that he
was in no hurry and would take ms
time to look around.
Fl. H. Yonl5in has been painting his
automobile garage. When asked if he
would go back into the sheriff's office
again he evaded the question with a
smile.
Fl. H. Lyon is studying law and
laying his fences to run for the legis-
lat,lre this fall. He declares he Will
make a campaign on the platform of
statewide initiative, referendum and
recall
e. L. Blanchard and w. J. Wren Will
devote themselves to their insurance
business and try to write some poll
cies for the city. Mr.. Wren lost many
hundreds of dollars he could have
made in insurance premiums when ne
was elected councilman, for he carried
several lines on city buildings, and
when the policies expired he could not
renew them because he was q CITY
official. A. j. Wallace and E. A.
Clampitt were oil operators While mem
hers of the council and they Will con-
tinue this business. Both are wealthy
men and can probably make more
money in their own line, In addition
Clampitt has taken over branch or
the Union Oil Well Supply company.

SELLS BIG TRACT
AT LARGE PROFIT
Deal in Acreage at San Jacnto Nets
Los Angeles Operator $1oe,ooo
Inside of Sixty
Days

When J. S. Jackson of Los Angeles
yesterday sold to Arthur G.. Mum, also
a resident of this city, 4600 acres of the
best land in the San Jacinto valley for
$276000 he netted profit of S106,0O0
Jackson purchased the property sixty
days ago from the Byrne family of San
Bernardino for $4,000
Mum represents a Los Angeles syn
dicate which will divide the property
into twenty, forty, eighty and 10O-acre
tracts, to be Immediately placed on the
market.
The acreage, through the sale of
which Jackson gained a fortune, com
prises some of the most fertile land of
the San Jaeinto valley. Located but
three and half miles from San ia
cinto and but half a mile west of Hem
ct, it is believed by the Los Angeles
men that little difficulty will be met
with in disposing of the acreage. The
land previous to Jackson's purchase
had never before been placed on sale.
A prominent sugar beet man who re-
Gently looked the property over de-
clared that it was adapted to the grow
ing of sugar beets, and that irrigation
would not be necessary. 1t is reported
that there is now some talk of estab-
fishing a sugar beet factory in the vail
ley.

CITY WILL DO
CEMENT WORK
ENGINEER HAMLIN SUBMITS
HIS PLAN
Estimates That over $1,000 Can Be
Saved if Bridge Work Is Done
Under Municipal
Direction

All bids for the concrete coping and
railing for the Main street bridge are
too high, said City Engineer Hamlin in
a report to the board of public works
Yesterday when he asked that all bids
be rejected and the work done by city
forces.
The lowest bid received by the board
was $685. and ME-. Hamlin is positive
the work can be done by the city for
S5400 or less. To do this he suggests
the appointment, under the emergency
provision of the charter, of the follow
ing: Cement foreman, $100 a month;
watchman, S2.25 a day; eight laborers,
S2.25 q day; four laborers, $3.50 day;
two molders, SO a day; two molders,
$3.50 a day; two molders, $4 day;
two pattern makers, "a day; one pat
tern maker, $5 a day; four stone set
ters, $5 a day, and two teamsters at
l$4.50 day.
He recommends the salary ordinance
establishing these positions should go
into effect as soon as possible and
should remain effective until May l.,
1910. For cement foreman he says he
has in mind a man who was superin-
tendent of an artificial stone company
for three years. This man did the or
namental work on the Temple Audi
torium and other important buildings
in the city. To stimulate this man he
recommends that in addition to his sal
ary he be paid a bonus of so per cent
of any sum the total pay roll shall
be less than $3000
The estimate for the office work, ma
terial and plant, to cost $500, so that
with good luck the work should be
done for $4500
An additional reason for the prose-
1t. 1. i
yanced by Mr.. Hamlin, is that the or
namentai work on the Buena Vista
street bridge will be big job and he
wants to demonstrate to contractors
that the city can do the work if forced
to it. The report was adopted.

WILL ADVERTISE FOR
NEW FIRE HOSE BIDS
Rush of Company Agents Expected
When Offers Are Considered
by City Council

The fire commission yesterday hand
ed a bunch of trouble to the new coun-
Gil when it asked that body to adver-
tise for bids for 1900 feet of fire hose.
The specifications calling for the hose
provide that it must resist pressure
of 400 pounds to the square inch.
1t will be interesting to note the
prices at which the fire hose will be
offered to the city. Excessive charges
frequently have been pointed out In
the past.
But the purchase of fire hose always
entails more or less disagreeable work
for the supply committee and the
council. Every maker of fire hose in
the country appears to compete for
Los Angeles contracts and every maker
claims his hose is the best. If there
is a difference in price the represen-
tative explains the difference arises
through a superior grade of rubber or
other material.

SEEKS FIRE COMMISSIONER

Mayor Alexander is finding that the
selection of a fire commissioner is one
of the hardest appointments ne mas 10
sioner must be a Democrat, for the
charter requires that not more than two
members of the same political party
shall be appointed to the fire commits,
sion. Commissioners Robinson ana
Williamson are Republicans and Com
missioner Molony is the only Democrat.
Martin Betkouski, who resigned from
the fire commission when he was eject
ed to the city council, was a Democrat
and n man of his political affiliations
must be selected to take his place.
