U. S. ENGINEERS COMPLETE
BREAKWATER GAP PLANS
Closing of Open Space Makes
Land Reclamation Possible

The United States engineering offices
here have completed specifications for
the work of closing the 1900 feet left
open in the breakWater at San Pedro,
and the plans will be Immediately for
warded to washington for approval by
the chief engineers.
This gap in the breal1water was left
open by the engineers with the expec-
tation that it would cause a current
through the harbor which would keep
deposits from filling the channel. 1t
has been found that it would be much
better to have the opening closed, as
there Is no danger Of deposits.
For the work of closing this gap
congress appropriated $17S,00o In the last
river and harbor act. The original cost
of the breawkater was $1,000, 900. Add
ing the cost of the improvement, the
harbor will cost the government 3d.
078,0 900.
The closing of the gap will make
possible the filling of 146 acres of mu-
nicipal land, which is located just out
side of the breakwater on the west side
of the outer harbor.
When the plans are returned from
Washington, 1t is expected not longer
than two weeks from the time sent,
they will be advertised thirty days be-
fore bids are opened.

News of the Courts
RUSSIAN SUES TO RECOVER
LOTS GIVEN FOR STOCK
Charges H. J. Lawrence Repre-
Sented Self as Minister

Alleging fraud on the part of Henry ].
Lawrence, who, he believed, was min
lister of the gospel, Peter Martens, a
Russian who speaks German and can
not read English, yesterday filed in the
superior court a suit against Lawrence
in which he asks the court to cancel a
deed to property valued at $4,000.
Martens says that Lawrence, who
represented himself as a regularly or
dained minister, thus causing the plain
tiff to repose great faith in him, per-
suaded him to trade thirty-two lots in
the Martens tract, valued at $4,000 and
against which there was a mortgage of
$1,000, for 10000 shares of stock in the
Searchlight Owl Mining and Milling
company, said to be worth 25 cents a
share, or $500 altogether, with a bonus
of $500 in cash.
Martens ignorance of English pre-
vented him from an extensive inVesti-
cation, he AYERS, and the exchange was
effected October &c, 1907, after Lawrence
had given brilliant descriptions of the
wealth of the mine which the company
was supposed to own and the big bank
account certain to belong to the pos
SCISSOR of the 10000 shares of stock.
Martens states that he later ascer-
tanned that Lawrence's assertions were
false, and he now goes to court to OBJ
tain cancellation of the deed by which
Lawrence became the possessor of the
PLAINTIFFS realty, and seeks also a re-
conveyance of the lots to him.
Martens In the same action asserts
that he was persuaded by Lawrence to
exchange a roam stallion valued az
$500 for 5000 shares of stock in the
same company, and he sues also for the
return of the animal to him.

INSPECTIONS CONDEMN
1870 GALLONS OF MILK
Crescent Creamery Company
Product Spoiled by Order
of Health Department

Opposition to the rules Of the health
department on the part of the Cres-
cent Creamery company did not pre-
vent two health inspectors yesterday
from spelling 100 gallons of milk at the
Crescent companys depot, 214 Winston
street.
The milk ordinanc requires that milk
must be cooled to temperature of not
more than 70 degrees and requires that
all milk not so cooled be rendered un-
fit for sale. Sometimes the inspectors
dump the milk, but generally they
color it with dyes SO that 1t may be
fed to hogs but not to human beings.
Milk inspectors have had occasion to
dye milk at the Crescent depot before.
Friday DR.. Powers, health officer, re-
ceived a letter from the Crescent peo-
pie protesting against such action on
the ground that 1t was destructive to
property. The protestant claimed the
right to make the warm milk into but
ter or some other such product.
The health department learned that
a. large consignment of milk was ex-
pected by the Crescent Creamery COM
pany yesterday and two inspectors
were sent to the place. When they
reached the milk depot they found it
placarded with signs warning all en-
pIoyes not to permit the health in
spectors to discolor or throw out any
milk.
But the inspectors were not dis
mayed and when they found 100 gal
Ions had not been properly cooled
they dumped a quantity of red dye
into it and condemned it. No phys
ical resistance was attempted. 1t is
supposed the protest of the creamery
is preliminary to a damage suit.

Edith Johnson Describes Rough
and-TumbIe Fight

When Judge Dehy of Inyo county,
sitting in Department of the Los An
geles county superior court, heard the
divorce action of Edith Johnson
against Axel Johnson yesterday his
ears were assailed by the details of a
rough-and-tumble fight between hus-
band and wife.
Mrs. Johnson alleged cruelty in her
complaint, and ker husband contested
her action, making a similar cross
complaint. When the case was called
Mrs. Johnson described her unhappi-
ness by telling of the alleged drunk
enness of her husband, reaching a cit-
max in a description of fight between
them
HE grabbed me by the throat and
tried to choke me to DEATH she. said.
1.-THE grasp he had on me was SO
tight that for days after my throat
was black and blue. In self-protec-
ton I beat him on the face, backing
one eye and making his nose bleed.
Then he tried to force me through
door and to throw me upon the moor
At that managed to bite him on the
wrist. I have a glass eye, and he
knew that if he threw me on the floor
it might break, causing me great in
Jury, but he paid no attention to that"
Judge Dehy took the action under
advisement.
He granted a decree to e. Gabrielle
Austin from Hugh e. Austin because
of cruelty and desertion. Part of the
cruelty was suffered by proxy, the
plaintiff merely experiencing great
mental anguish when, she charges, her
husband. while they were living In
Canada, drove a horse too fast, beat
cows until they beloved with pain and
kicked a dog into a state of insensi-
bility.
Cruelty and desertion were the
grounds for divorces granted to Crys,,
