The public welfare committee did not
take kindly to the report Of the play

mending that twenty-five acres in the
vicinity of Thirty y-eighth and Hooper

and others be denied without prejudice.
In order to establish rule for fur
ther petitions for the establishment of

fare committee will recommend that
the following rule be adopted by the
council:
THAT it is the sense Of the city coun-
Gil that hereafter the council will not
consider petition or petitions to acquire
by condemnation any land situated in
the city Of Los Angeles for public park
or playground purposes unless signed
by % per cent of the property owners
in the district created in said petition
to pay the expenses Of condemnation
proceedings. The signers in said petit
ton to describe their property in such
a manner that the same may be readily
checked by the engineer, and attached
to said petition must be an affidavit
from parties circulating said petition
that the signatures are genuine and
that they are the owners of the prop
erty therein referred to, and further
that the city engineer and city attorney
be instructed accordingly"

SAYS BRISCOE PLANNED
To KILL WIFE; THEN SELF
Deputy Sheriff Lips, FoiIed of
Purpose by Suicide, Re-
Iates Story of Crime
Deputv Sheriff Walter Lips returned

Deputy Sheriff Walter Lips returned
from Rochester, N. Y, yesterday
morning and presented Sheriff Ham
mel with a certificate of Walter E.
Briscoe's death. Deputy Lips was sent
to New York to bring back Briscoe,
who was under arrest on information
furnished by the Los Angeles sheriff.
He was charged with defrauding Pres
ident Taylor of the Llewellyn iron
works.
Deputy Lips stated that Briscoe de-
posted $500 cash bail when placed un-
der arrest by Rochester detectives and
was then liberated on condition that
he surrender himself as soon as a Los
Angeles officer put in an appearance.
On arriving in Rochester, Deputy
Lips, accompanied by two Rochester
detectives. went to the office of Bris-
GOES attorney, where they found Bris-
that his liberty was ended and refused
to be comforted by his wife and
mother-in-law He kissed Mrs. Bris-
coe repeatedly and begged that the of
ficers step into an adjoining room in
order that he might talk to his wife
alone. His request was refused.
Briscoe was then taken to the city
prison by the detectives, where he was
searched by an officer and the relief
placed in his cell the officers heard the
report of a pistol and on rushing in
found him sitting on the edge of his
bed with an automatic revolver in his
lap. He had shot himself in the right
temple. the ball having come out of
the left temple and lodged on top of
another cell.
on hearing of the suicide Mrs. Bris-
coe requested the coroner for the pis-
tol, but her request was refused.
Deputy Lips is of the opinion that
Briscoe wanted to be alone with Mrs.
Briscoe so that he could kill her. for
he was infatuated with his wife. The
coroner found six safety razor blades
in the cuffs of the dead mans trous-
ers. The supposition is that Briscoe
concealed the blades so that if he had
succeeded in killing his wife but had
been prevented from using the gun on
himself, he could have brought about
his death in his cell by cutting his
wrists or throat with the keen edged
blades.

IMPERIAL VALLEY SETTLER
COMPLAINS OF SKINNER
Actions of Man Recently Acquit-
ted DeCried by Woman

Sigel E. Skinner. VINO recently was
States district court on a charge of
impersonating a government land Of
ficer in the Imperial valley. has re-
turned to the valley, and his actions
in that section may be investigated
by the federal officers, for United
States Attorney Mccormick has re-
ceived two letters from Imperial valley
in which he is informed that Skinner
and a man named T. A. Densmore
have violated the law.
One of the letters is from Mrs Lydia
oxford, who wrote that Skinner and
Densmore, by the use of firearms,
violence and abusive language, had
driven herself and daughter from
their ranch in the valley.
1t appears that several months ago
Mrs. oxford paid Skinner 500 for
locating her on the land. Mrs. Ok
ford claims that during the forepart
of last week Skinner and his COM
panion administered a beating to her
hired man and ordered him off the
ranch. She further alleges that July
II Skinner intimated that if she and
her daughter did not leave the ranch
their lives would be in danger. He is
said to have displayed a revolver while
the other man carried a rifle.
The women became frightened, and
after writing to the authorities left
their homestead on July II, the day
the two men became real abusive and
threatening.
The case has been placed in the
hands of Assistant United States At
torney G. Ray Horton, and in all
probability Mrs. Oxford's allegations
will be investigated.

SPLASH ME- GIRL TELLS PLAN

Arizona, with it's law permitting girls
of the age Of 1S to marry, is the haven
to which Frances White, age IA, and
Alonzo H. Harwood, age 21, the roman
tic pair whose course since their elope-
ment to Santa Ana Monday last has
been so beset with difficulties, will
hasten today to settle finally their
status as man and wife by being mar
ried again.
Still fearful because of the court $
stern order of the day before, which set
aside her marriage as impossible under
the law of California, the youthful
bride again faced Judge Wilbur yester-
day. her intention as mistaken as ever.
Before appearing in court she an
nounced with determination that no
school could hold her for the coming
six months with her consent. When
the Judge quietly asked If after he had
placed her in some good school she
would remain without attempting to
get away, she firmly set her lips and
refused to speak.
After another delay more evidence
was taken to show the marriage had
been made in good faith by both, the
parents consenting to the union. When
the hearing was resumed again at 4
o'clock the court announced its decis-
ion. The matter was dropped, and no
further attention will be paid to 1t.
The former bride and groom were
jubilant.

of the outcome.

COURT DENIES DIVORCE
ON IMPROBABLE CHARGE
Alleges Wife Acted Improperly
with Septuagenarian

Julius Hantzschel, who alleged i'm
proper conduct on the part of his wife,
Gertrude Hantzschel, as ground for
divorce before Judge Hutton's court
yesterday, was denied decree. The
court stated that the fact that the
alleged improprieties were said to have
occurred in company with one Andrew
Hunt of the age of rs years was so
improbable that the decree could not
be granted.
The husband testified that on return
ing from six months visit to Europe,
he, on the advice of friends, proceeded
to the house where his wife was house
keeper for Andrews, in the early
morning and pried open bedroom
window to investigate.
Andrews, who took the stand, stated
that on that occasion he heard some
one prowling around the house and had
got up to investigate and that when
Hantzschel opened the window of Mrs.
Hantzschels chamber he was there,
armed to meet him.
Mrs. Hantzscheps cross complaint
for a divorce on the grounds of cruelty
was also denied.
A decree was granted to Gussie
Mueller from Ernest Mueller.
