Grafton Results in Unanimous
Reelection of Officers

The annual meeting of the Los An
geles federation of the Women's Chris
tian Temperance union was held yes
terday at the Arroyo union on Avenue
Thirty-three near Pasadena avenue
Twenty-Five unions were represented
with an aggregate membership of 5000
Mrs. Catherine Pierce Wheat presided
at the sessions, which were continued
all day, luncheon being served by the
Arroyo union.
One of the important features of
the day was the unanimous reelection
of the following officers: Mrs. c. p
Wheat, president; Mrs. Ada Hand, vice
president; Mrs. Louisa Quint, secre-
tary; Mrs. Carrie Bluett. recording
secretary, and Mrs. Orvilla Minear

other Plans Under
Consideration

The Associated Charities of Los An
geles will hold their third annual tag
day May Z, according to an announce
ment made Tuesday by H. w Frank,
president of the organization. The
charity conference held a meeting in
the chamber of commerce rooms yes
terday, and the tag day proposition
was taken UP and thoroughly dis
cussed. 1t is planned to eliminate con-
fusing features and make the coming
tag day the most successful yet held.
The Associated Charities treasury is
nearly exhausted, but those in control
of the organization believe it will be
possible to continue operations until
tag day arrives.
1t is probbale that most of the work
of selling tags will be assigned school
children. They have under considera-
tion other methods by which they hope
to increase the sale of tags.
The recently organized and equipped
wood yard cost in the neighborhood of
s5000 and it is on account of this eX-
penditure that the Associated Charities
is in urgent need of funds.
The wood yard, established as an
success and will be a source of revenue
to the organization in a short time.
The Industrial home is also prosper
ing, and the report for the month of
February shows that it gets better re-
suits for less money than any other
organization in Los Angeles. In meals
alone a saving of 1925 has been made
in feeding the 1910 persons who applied.

FATHER AND SON FACE
HORSE STEALING CHARGE

]. L. Woodruff and his son, Ollie
Woodruff, who were arrested in San
Bernardino Tuesday by Deputy Sheriff
Bert Heffner on a warrant charging
them with stealing a horse belonging
to Lewis F. Lowe, were arraigned be-
fore Justice Summerfeld yesterday
and their preliminary hearing set for
2 o'clock March %.
The elder Woodruff is alleged to have
been arrested a few weeks ago on a
charge of failure to provide for his
wife, but the charge was dismissed
upon his promise to contribute 81 a
week toward her support. 1t is said
by those who are looking up his rec
ord that he was sentenced a few years
ago to five years at San quentin on a
similar charge to that of which he is
now accused. 1t is probable that the
charge against the son will be dis
missed, but he will be detained as a
witness against his father.

INSPECT LINES WITH VIEW
OF PROTECTING PUBLIC
Utilities Board Favors Keeping Cars
Down to Speed Limit on
Sixteenth Street

In the work it has undertaken of
making life more safe for those who
have to cross the street car tracks, tho
board of public utilities yesterday made
a trip over the Pacific Electric line with
General Manager Mcmillan and over
the Sixteenth street line of the Los
Angeles Pacific with Attorney Guerney
Newlin.
On the Pasadena line the board found
no crossings especially in need of pro-
lection except the one on Mission road
at Rose Hill, and this is to be taken
care of by an overhead bridge. The
city council has already instructed the
city attorney to prepare an ordinance
compelling the railway company to
construct this bridge.
So many important streets crossed
the Sixteenth street line that the board
came to the conclusion that no system
of gates, bells or fagmen that could be
devised would fill the bill, and its rec
ommendation probably will be that the
Los Angeles Pacific be forced to keep
within the speed limit of twenty miles
an hour until its new subway is built

.JURIST SCORES
DIVORCE FRAUD
Fact Emphasized That Under Present
Conditions Members of Bench
Have Many NerVe-Wrack-
Ing Experiences

every divorce case is we'll nigh in
tolerable. and the only efficacious rem
edy suggesting itself to me for this
deplorable state of affairs is the ap-
pointment of some person to diligent-
Iy represent the state in every divorce
case If the state is party interested
in all these cases, as is declared by
the supreme court, then the state
ought always to be represented"
These were expressions forcibly ut
tered by Judge Walter F. Bordwell of
the superior court yesterday before
the members of the commission on
marriage and divorce, the Church Fed
Grafton council and the Federation
club at the weekly luncheon of the
club.
Judge Bordwell emphasized the fact
the judges were not for the purpose
of making the laws, but to enforce
them, and with the conditions existing
in the fraudulent methods in obtaining
divorces resulted in nerYe-wracking
experiences for the members of the
bench.
Public Is interested
Judge Bordwell said in part:
Every student of sociology knows
that the family relation is the foun-
datiOn of modern society. Inc Su-
preme court of this state says: The
parties to the action are not the only
people interested in the result there
of. The public has an interest in every
suit for divorce Also, The law does
not favor divorce and permits 1T only
for approved causes and on sentence
from duly established public au-
thority.
THE statute expressly prohibits the
granting of divorces on the uncorrob-
grated testimony of the applicant. 1t
is immaterial whether the case is con-
tested by the defendant or he makes
default.
Experience shows that because Of
superficial views or ignorance many
members of society disregard the un-
deriving principles, and seek relief
from marital VOWS at all hazards.
And, I regret to add, not a few mem
bers Of the legal profession lend their
aid In this nefarous business.
THE strongest and most diligent
Judge, keenly appreciative of his obli-
cation, and assiduously Jealous to pro-
tect the court from the indignity in
volved in these fraudulent divorce
cases, will be able to stop but few of
them.
"With an examination diligently
made by a representative OF the state,
with the necessary facilities and money
at his command, payable out Of the
public treasury we might expect that
few or no applicants for divorce, based
unon fraudulent testimony or the sup
preston of facts essential to an i'm
partial Judgment, would succeed"

SHOOTING UP OF OFFICE
RESULTS IN TWO ARRESTS
Ranchers in Custody for an Alleged
Pistol Play in Lancaster
Liquor Fight

Anthony f. Goode and Jack Wheeler, !,
ranchers living near Lancaster, were
arrested late last night by Jack John
son, deputy constable from Justice
Ling's court on a warrant charging
them with assault with deadly
weapon.
The complaining witness, c. e. Jones,
editor of the Antelope Valley Ledger.
alleges that they fired four shots
through his office last Saturday night
1t is thought the trouble is due to a
anti-saloon- crusade which has been
raging in Lancaster for some time,
and in which Jones has been taking
an active part.
