GRANTS FIVE DIVORCES
IN TWENTY-FIVE MINUTES
Wife Rid of Husband Whom She
Says Didn't Answer Letter
When Baby Died

Five divorces granted in twenty five
minuteS-five minutes to each divorce
was the new record made by Judge
Hutton of the divorce court yesterday
| morning. In each case the plaintiffs
had strong testimony against the de-
PENDANTS and the wheels of the divorce
mill rolled along with the speed of
Halley's comet.
Daisy f. Hopcraft took the prize in
showing the alleged neglect of her
husband. She informed the court that
after her husband Walter S. Hopcraft,
had deserted her their baby died. She
wrote him a letter, she said, informing
him of the fact, but he never took the
trouble to answer it. Upon this testi-
mony being supported the court quick
ly gave her an interlocutory decree.
Roy E. Langworthy was given an
interlocutory decree of divorce from
his wife, Minnie A. Langworthy, on
the ground of desertion. He said she
had studied the hairdressing business
while living with him and the day he
gave her money to pay for the course
she disappeared for keeps" evidently
to become an artist at the hairdress-
ing profession.
His little girl, he said, told him that
mamma has gone away and is not
coming back when he returned from
work on the day he gave her money
to pay the bills. He came to Los An
geles from Colegrove, where they had
lived, and found his wife, but she re-
fused to return. He had noticed that
her love had grown cold some time
previous to her departure, he said, but
he told her that he would leave the
front door open for her to return when
ever she desired, but that she never
came back.
Willie Crawford was awarded an in
terlocutory decree of divorce from VIII
liam b Crawford on the ground OF
desertion and non-support.
Rhoda Moore was given an inter
locutory decree, freeing her from John
Riley Moore on the ground of Wllful
neglect.
Rose Lockrey was granted an inter
locutory decree from John L. Lock
rey on the ground of habitual drunk
enness and neglect. She had to work,
she said, to pay the room rent and
grocery bills because he drank so much
his health had become impaired.

NOT LOCKED, TESTIMONY
Early Settlers Appear Before
Special Examiner Langley

The case wherein the United States
government wishes to open roads on
the Rindge estate is being heard be-
fore Special Examiner Leo Langley
in the United States court, and con-
siderable testimony was taken yester-
day.
Albert Beale of this city testified
that the Malibu road on the Rindge
estate was used constantly in 1880 and
that he herded cattle on the property
for a number of years. He testified
to gates being placed across the main
road and at the entrance to the cam
yons. He further testified that within
the past six years he has visited the
ranch but could not remember finding
any of the gates locked.
George B. Dexter, who settled on the
land in question, testified that there
were numerous trails on the property
when he first went there in 1876.

COURT FINDS FOR VERNON
TRUSTEES IN DRURY SUIT

Judge Moss yesterday rendered a
verdict in favor of the defendant In
the suit of A. J. Drury against the
trustees of Vernon to set aside re
cent election in the latter place for the
exclusion of certain territory.
The plaintiff alleged that the trus-
tees threw out four good ballots when
they canvassed the vote, thereby ex-
cluding the territory in which Drury
resides from the limits of Vernon.
Drury claimed that the vote stooo
fifteen against exclusion to fourteen for
exclusion, and that the trustees threw
away four of the fifteen votes, chang
ing the result to exclusion.
In an examination of the ballots be-
fore Judge Moss recently the latter
held that two of them We're good ano
+no we're had. This brought the vote
to fourteen for exclusion to thirteen
against exclusion. and he decided for
exclusion.

News of the Courts
SUGGESTION WAVES GAG
A WITNESS, She SAYS
Woman on Stand Declares Defen-
dant Seeks to Control
Her by Psychology

Psychological "air waves" promise to
| engulf the participants in the trial of
Dr. w. r. Price, founder of 1.-THE
| Society of New and Practical Psy-
chology," of Long Beach, who is on
| trial on the charge of embezzling $1,000
from Dr. Mary ]. Helm, a high
priestess of the order.
Strange messages of warning from
Price, who resembles Brigham Young
in appearance. are alleged to have been
| sent witnesses who are testifying in
the case, which is in progress in de-
partment eleven of the superior court.
| One witness on the stand, a member of
| the "order" began to gurgle in her
| throat and after a time it was an
nounced that Price had been sending
her suggestions" as to her testimony.
At least that was the explanation of
Mrs. Lillian E. Durham, the witness.
The proceedings were further electri-
| fed yesterday by the story that Jessie
/ iSiosiii7I former stenUgrapner Tor Dr.
Price and who is a witness for the
prosecution, had committed suicide in
the clerks room in the corridor of the
! building. A strong odor of some kind
of medicine and the spectacle of Miss
| Mosher stretched out on a table added
color to the story.
1t finally developed that Miss Mosher
| is recovering from a recent spell of
| serious illness, and had taken some
! kind of medicine to brace her for the
ordeal on the stand. She became un-
conscious While taking the medicine,
which was knocked out of her hand by
| spectator who thought she was try
ing to die. She was revived shortly
afterward. and although weak, an
swered all questions presented to her.
WAVES BEGIN TO BREAK
| The testimony of the witnesses. most
of whom are pupils of Prices psy-
Geological outfit. showed that he had
talked gold mining and had discussed
the future of the National Gold Min
ing company in the temple" at Long
Beach when the members of the sect
gathered. Many of them purchased
shares in the mine, which is now
claimed by the district attorneys Of
flee to have been a myth.
In telling of how she purchased a
few shares in the company, Mrs. Lii
lian Durham, a member of the psy-
| Geological society, gagged in her
throat.
"Why do you hesitate?" asked At
torney Paul Schenck, one of the at
torneys for the defense.
May 1 tell you why I do not an
swer?" asked the witness, family.
Because Dr. Price is trying to con-
troll me my psychology, and l was Civ
ing him a suggestion that he cannot
do it,
The auditors smiled.
The witness glanced at DR.. Price,
who also smiled.
''Is that what DR.. Helm was trying
to do to you when I. told counsel to
stop her from making signs to you?"
asked Schenck.
There being no answer. Schenck
asked that DR.. Helm be excluded from
the court room.
"There were certain antics going on
by your client" said Ford, 'and 1 said
nothing about it,"
Judge Cole of Imperial, who is pre-
siding over the trial, ordered all the
psychological waves reduced to a
calm. He said he would control the
court Ford said the attorneys were
running great risks from the waves"
and the trial was resumed with every
body on the alert for messages"

the danger of visiting the Indian viii
lage and attempting to photograph the
members of the Cocopah Indians.
Disregarding the warning luckless
photographer attempted to perpetuate
the likeness of the braves and their
sQuaws through the medium of his
picture mahcine. AS he trained his
lens on the redskins a shout of de-
fiance arose, and in another moment
he was surrounded by the angry
tribeSmen, who broke his camera into
bits and were about to do him ply
steal harm, when the Indian police in
terfered and rescued the photographer
from the midst of the scrimmage. The
Indians have a superstitious fear of
the camera based on religious beliefs,
it being their ambition to die leaving
no resemblance of themselves on earth
This is the first time the Cocopahs
have been off the reservation for a
fete of the white man. and with the
exception of old Chief Tehama prob
ably none of the others has been be-
yond the Mexican boundary line.

Entertains Dinner Guests She Never
Saw Before.
An Italian journal in commenting on
Nine. Sarah Bernhardt's recent appear
ances in America explains how it is
that this great artist seems always In
need Of money. 1t Is interesting to
read that in the case of this distin-
guished artist her money is literally at
the disposal not only Of her near and
distant relations and friends, but even
Of people she does not know. for her
house is open to all.
At one time she never entertained
less than twenty persons daily at din
ner, and it Is related that Alexandra
Dumas, who was one day of the num-
Der, sitting at the right hand Of Nine.
Bernhardt, asked her, "Will you kind
~ tell me the name Of your friend on
the left?" "That is more than ! can
d." said she, "for l have never seen
him before"
