RIDERS INJURED WHEN
MOTORCYCLE HITS POST
Redondo Beach Men Suffer Pain
full Wounds-0ne May Die
as Result

VENICE, July 17.-Hurled through
the air when the motorcycle which they
were riding struck a post, Charles
Phellir and B. d. Schaffer of Redondo
Beach were painfully injured on the
Los Angeles road this afternoon and
were taken to Santa Monica Bay hos
pital. Each man received numerous
cuts and bruises on the head and face,
and it is feared Phellir is internally in
jured.
Phellir was driving the two-wheeled
machine, While Schaffer rode behind
him. They had visited this beach and
were returning to their home. Wit
nesses say they were riding at speed
of forty-flve miles an hour when they
came to a sharp curve in the road
near the water tank four miles east
of here Phellir appeared to be unable
to stop his motorcycle. and it sped off
the road into ditch and ended its mad
dash against a telephone pole. Phellir
fell to the ground with the machine on
top of him, while Schaffer was cata-
pulled high into the air and struck the
pole with his head. Both men were
picked up unconscious and brought
here. Twenty stitches were required
to close the gashes in Schaffers face.

CUSTOM RECEIPTS At
REDONDO ARE. $4,000
New 1000 Foot Wharf Is to Be
Constructed to Care for
the Traffic

REDONDO BEACH, July 1.-THE
cash receipts for the custom office at
this port for the past month reached
the record breaking total of $4,000.
This is the largest months receipts
ever taken in by any custom house on
the south coast. During the month
there has been constantly in this port
one or more big foreign freighters from
the Orient.
Local or coastwise shipping for the
same month shows an increase Of more
than 40 per cent over that of the corre-
spending month last year, while the
foreign commerce has increased nearly
80 per cent
In view of these heavy increases in
shipping, it has become necessary to
consider additional wharfage facilities
to properly accommodate the shippers,
and it is understood that the emer-
gency will be met by the construction
of a new 1000-foot water wharf which
will have sufficient breadth to main
tain eight tracks. At present there are
several vessels lying at anchor wait
ing for a berth at the docks, which
have been full for some time.
The British steamship Harpeake,
from Japan, is due at this port, but
has been delayed owing to the heavy
fogs which have overspread the Pacific
for the past five weeks.
The British steamship Cape Finis-
terre will complete discharging about
Wednesday and will sail for the north
to load with lumber for Australia.

PREACHER JAILBREAKER
TAKEN HOME IN IRONS
Man Who Has Three Times ES-
capped Prison Now Tightly
Held by Law

SAN BERNARDINO, July 17.-Al-
legged to be a burglar, Jail breaker and
fugitive from justice, Oliver Ackley,
formerly an itinerant preacher and
leading light in the Congregational
church of Gallup, N. NJ, has been
started back to that place to answer
to an indictment of the grand jury.
He is claimed to be thrice a Jail
breaker, and when he left the local
county Jail, where he has been held for
several weeks, he was the most heavily
irOned prisoner that ever was taken
out of San Bernardino.
Ackley first made his appearance in
Gallup about a year ago. He was
parading the main street calling upon
the people of the town to ask forgive
ness for their sins, when given q
friendly welcome by one of the mer-
chants. He became prominent in the
Congregational church and was then
given employment by one of the church
members. Ackley, it is alleged, repaid
the kindness of the townspeople by
breaking open the cash register of the
man who had befriended him, stealing
it is claimed, $500.
He was caught at Albuquerque and
returned to Gallup, where he broke

NEW YORK PHYSICIAN
LAUDS MODERN MOTHER
Declares Even Wealthy Women
Give Time to Children

NEW YORK. July 17,-It is SO usual
to speak of the modern mother with
disparagement that the New York ply
sician who dared in a Chicago conven-
ton of medical men to say a word in her
praise must be accounted a very bold
man indeed. The magazine sociologists
deplore the smashing of the American
home and draw heartbreaking pic
ture of callous young women neglect
ing their children while they gamble
at the bridge table. The decadence of
a race is described and deplored and
the heartlessness of the typical moth
ers of today is relentlessly exposed.
Yet here is q physician who has the
temerity to assert that even the rich
women among his patients are not
without thought for the welfare of
their offspring; that they spare enough
time from their frivolities and diver
sions to insist on the proper physical
and mental treatment of their children;
that they take a lively interest in the
prevention and care OF diseases of in
fancy and are not averse to learning
how their babies should be made and
kept well and strong. This venture
some NJ. D. dared to give in proof Of
his revolutionary assertions his own
personal experience, and even permitted
himself to exhibit a certain contempt
for the disconcerting and discredit-
able things that some of our most ac-
complished alarmists say on this i'm
portant subject.
1t would be rude and cruel thing
IL he were able to establish the mod
ern American mother" as a rather old
fashioned sort of woman. It would de-
stroy many carefully nourished theo-
ries that most delightfully."- shock and
terrify US. Looking through the eyes
and hearing with the ears of those
instructors whom we most reverently
cherish, we have seen a race of fe-
male monsters unlike anything ever
before heard of. That none of these
creatures came within the range of
personal acquaintance only made them
the more fascinating. To have them
removed from view at one stroke and
to see substituted for them women in
every way like others would be a
shock difficult to bear.

CLEANLINESS TRAVEL

In the absence of national board of
health and a common system of inter
state quarantine, excellent results
would undoubtedly accrue from a
project now under consideration by the
great railway companies of the coun-
try. 1t is proposed to hold 'conven-
tion of the chief surgeons of those COM
panies, together with the principal
health officers of the federal govern
ment and Of the various states, for
the purpose of devising measures to
check the spread OF communicable dis
eases. With that as the principal OBJ
ject before 1t, the convention will be
urged to formulate code of rules to
insure greater cleanliness and better
sanitary conditions not only in all
passenger trains, but in all railway
stations. The opportunity for great
hygienic improvement in the direction
here indicated is plain to every OBJ
servant traveller The danger to which
the travelling public is exposed is
great and constant but it is perfectly
clear that 1t cannot be removed by the
railway companies acting independent
ly of one another.-New York Mail.

PHONE MESSAGE CAUSE OF
FAILURE OF DIVORCE PLEA
Court Refuses to Grant Woman
Decree, Despite Evidence

ST. LOUIS, July 17.-Declaring that
it looked as II an attempt had been
made to keep the husband out of
court, Judge Muench yesterday dis
missed the divorce suit of Carrie M.
Frederick against Charles F. Frederick
of 2740 Laclede avenue. Frederick per-
mitted the case to go by default but
Judge Muench, after hearing the wife's
testimony, issued a subpoena for the
defendant. Frederick did not obey the
summons and an attachment was is
sued for him.
On the witness stand Frederick was
asked by the court why he disobeyed
the summons. Because did not think
it was necessary to appear" the man
answered.
What caused you to think so?"
asked the judge.
"Well, a man who said he was my
wife's lawyer telephoned me that 1
need not show up" said the witness.
Mrs. Fredericks lawyer, John T.
Murphy, took the stand and declared
he had not telephoned to the defendant
nor authorized anyone to do so for him.
The Fredericks were married De-
cember 5, 1908, and separated Septem-
ber 1, 1909. The wife alleged that her
husband quarreled with her and re-
fused to pay bills.

GOAT EATS LIGHTED CIGAR

A lighted cigar accidentally dropped
into the great inclosure in the Bronx
park geological gardens in New York
caused an exhibition of temper by one
of the animals that held a consider
able crowd spellbound while it lasted
When the cigar fell inside the fence
Billy, a pugnacious goat of the Rocky
mountain species, was browsing near
by. Billy saw the cigar when 1t fell
and then fell for the cigar.
1t was only a matter of few sec
onds before Billy had convinced many
onlookers that a goat can chew to-
bacco. But his action was not so rapid
that he escaped being burned, and
great antics followed
A fence post seemed to offer him the
best means of venting his spite, and
there was what looked like an attempt
at cakewalk when that object con-
Vinced Billy that he might butt until
doomsday for all 1t cared.
Billy next attacked another goat, and
then he was quieted down. Those who
saw the incident kept wondering for
considerable time among themselves

MEDIUM GUIDES OWNER
TO HIS MISSING HORSE
Rancher Is Charged with Theft
of Fine Animal

REDLANDS, July 17.-Alfred Free
man, a rancher living near Muriettai
is held in the county jail at San Ber-

of stealing from G.. Huizing, a building
contractor of Redlands, a horse valued
at $500. Freeman was arrested while
deer hunting in the San Diego noun
tains and was brought to Redlands and
his arraignment set for next Friday
before Justice Clifford.
The case is a mysterious one. The
horse disappeared two months ago and
through the offices of a medium Huiz-
ing was guided to the spot in the San
Diego mountains where the animal was
held by Freeman. The latter claims
that the horse was left in his care by
two men, but in other stories has
said that he bought the animal. He
is credited with several conflicting
tales. He announced in court he was
never in Redlands before and that he
did not want a lawyer.

GEORGIA JUDGE SEEKS TO
LESSEN DIVORCE EVIL
Declares Present Custom Tends
to Destroy the Home

ATLANTA, July 17.-Greatly per-
turbed over the remarkable increase in
the number of undefended divorce
cases brought before him. Judge W, d.
Ellis today announced that he would
go before the Judiciary committee Of
the legislature and make personal ap-
peal for drastic law which will check
the divorce tendency.
Speaking in his court, he said of
divorce:
"It is destroying the home, and when
you destroy the home you destroy the
city, the county, the state and the ma
tion. Something should be done about
it. No divorce should be granted on
the uncorroborated statement OF one
party. 1t has got so now a little quar-
rel between husband and wife results
in a row, the row in a divorce, and the
divorce results in one or the other
party marrying again and getting a
new victim.
'"The evil is growing. Every year
sees 1t increaes. We talk about sup
preston of vice in the slums. I can't
imagine anything, worse than the di-
vorce evil We expect vice in the
slums, but when virtuous young people
marry we expect them to make homes
and raisse children"
