SCARS OF W|FE'S MAKING
DIVORCE CASE EXHIBIT
William Shirley Proves Spouse so
Vicious Court Considers
Insanity Proceedings

So complete a tale of extreme cru
city did William Shirley establish be-
fore Judge Hutton yesterday that he
came near having his plea for a di-
vorce from Emma Shirley denied on
the grounds that the woman is insane.
Scars on face, back, chest and wrists,
two of them the results of gunShot
wounds and three of separate knife as
suits, were offered by the plaintiff as
evidence.
"She shot at me twice as 1 went to
work the morning of October 10, 1909
said Shirley on the stand. "One of them
grazed my back. l can show you IL
you like, judge.
"Then these two cuts on my wrists
were the result of my protecting my
face from a carving knife she threw
at me from across the table. The scar
on my breast was made while we were
out hunting. She claimed 1t was an
accident at the time but afterWard sald
she was sorry she hadn't lett me 10
die as she had intended"
"On the face of it is Is a clear case
of insanity" said the judge. Il be-
lieve we ought to have her summoned
before a lunacy commission.
The attorney for the plaintiff inter-
nosed with the objection that they had
been endeavoring vigorously to locate
her and were unsuccessful. Neither
was she in Phoenix, Ariz, where all
the trouble was alleged to have oc-
Cured. nor could she be found else
where. -,
After a few moments more of con-
sideration the decree was granted

ANGELANS PLAN PACIFIC
To ATLANTIC HIGHWAY
Predict 300-Foot Road Connect
ing Los Angeles with
New York

Some day there may be national
highway 300 feet wide extending from
Los Angeles harbor to New York by
way of Yuma, AriZ.; Savannah, Ga,
and thence north along the Atlantic
coast
John J. Jones. one of the promoters
of the proposed widening to 200 feet
of Vermont avenue. distance of
twenty-six miles, from San Pedro to
Los Angeles, and j. Mills Davies are
the men who have been appointed by
the North, Northeast and Northwest
Improvement association to push the
proposition.
Last evening at q meeting of that Or
ganization Mr.. Jones asked for and
was given permission to enlist in be-
half of the project the services of the
chamber of commerce. The assistance
of senators and congressman is to be
sought, and everything possible done
TO make a reality OF the proposed i'm
provement.
Americans go to Europe and spend
$3OO,000,000 annually to take advantage
of the good roads to see that country
by automobile" says Mr.. Jones.
There is no reason why we shouldn't
have public highway for Europeans
and thousands of our own people who
want to see their native country.
"In addition for the transporting of
freight the proposed road probably
would be of great value"
At the annual meeting of the asso-
citation, which will be held in the
chamber of commerce committee room
July q, two vice president vacancies
are to be filled.
This election was to have taken place
yesterday at the regular semi-monthly
meeting, but a rule Of the organization
requiring that twenty members be
present to make a quorum prevented
the election.

INJURED POSTAL CLERK
ASKS DAMAGES, OF S. P.

Edward C. Edmunds, former railway
postal clerk, who was fearfully scald-
ed in wreck on the Southern Pacific
at Benson, Ariz., December 10 of last
year, is suing the railroad company
before jury in Judge Moss court for
$4,000 damages.
The company claims he settled in full
for $3.50 and that further damages are
barred, but the plaintiff alleges he was
unable to understand what he was
signing by reason of his injuries and
that he was told by the claim agent
that if he attempted to get an attor-
ney the company would pay him moth
ing. In addition, he states, the ply
sician at the hospital, together with
the claim agent, assured him he was
practically recovered, which was not
the truth.

OIL INSPECTOR ASKS FOR
INVESTIGATION OF NEEDS

Charles A. Blackmar, city oil in
spector, has addressed a communiea-
tion to the city council asking that a
committee be appointed to investigate
the workings of his office, and use the
information so gained in deciding
whether he shall be allowed the serv-
ices of a clerk. When Blackmar a
month ago made request for addi-
tional help in his office, Councilman
Betkoush opposed the granting of the
request.
The matter was referred to the sup
ply committee and, according to Black
mars communication, was at first re-
ported on favorably, being later
stricken out on the orders of Council
man Betkouski. Blackmar says that
Betkouski's opposition is due to GER
tain information given uncompliment-
arv to the oil inspector. He asks that
Betkoush be made one of the inyesti-
eating committee.

GETS CITY ADVERTISING
Judge Willis Holds That Sheet Is
Properly Qualified

All the city advertising for the COM
ing year will be published in the san

decision OF Judge Willis, submitted
yesterday. According to the meaning
of the statute, the court found, 1t is

this city. and has been for over the
required year. This is in spite of the
fact it has always been situated in
what was formerly the municipality of
San Pedro, and which was admitted
only August 2S of last year.
When the News presented the lowest
bid several weeks ago Mayor AleXan-
der held up the contract till the paper
had secured an order of court showing
itself properly qualified. This having
now been done, it is thought no further
objection will be met.

CIVIL SERVICE COMMISSION
ADVOCATES LARGE FIREMEN
Effort to Lower Height Standard
Is Opposed

The civil service commission has re-
piled to the fire commissioners regard
ing the latters request that the civil
service rule requiring applicants for
positions In the department to be 5
feet z inches In height be amended to
admit men one inch shorter in height
to the department. The civil service
office suggests that the standard be
not lowered, but the commission is In
clined in an opposite direction.
The objection to the cut In height
concerns the inability of men short in

wagons, and further suggests that
small men find difficulty in hitching
