Rocking with the gale.

Thus the merry minutes ny
While we are playing sec-saw.
"see-sawl Dargery Daw,"
Little birds wen be:
From the ground we fly away
To the leafy tree;
With a song Of pure delight
Back again we take our flight.
Down among the daisies white
When We arc playing see-saw

When a remedy has been before the public

The first conference at which safe
ty devices for the the protection of
the public from transportation sys-
TENS will be held Monday afternoon
in the rooms OF the board of public
utilities. Arrangements for such con-
ferences were made several months

Conferences have also been arranged

Meyer Lissner, president of the board

1t looked very much as If there would
be no cross town car line, as there
would be a strong protest against
building such a line in Vermont and
Western avenue is too far away. Other
north and south streets have not
been considered.

WOMAN HER OWN ATTORNEY.
IN FIGHT FOR ESTATE
Miss Mary Hoodman KiIborn Pro-

Miss Mary Hoodman Kilborn, re-
Gently made Administrative of the es-

I<ilborn, valued at $4,000, yesterday
acted as her own attorney in Judge
Moss department of the superior court,
where she protested against paying at
torneys whom she asserted she had not
hired.
J. L. Murphy of the law firm of
Murphy & Poplin. who has acted as
Miss Kilborn's attorney, was the de-
fendant in the case. He asked the
court to fix the amount due him for
his services in the fight instituted by
Miss Kilborn as the result of her find
ing the will of her mother unsatisfac-
tory and it's not being admitted to
probate, and Miss Kilborn opposed
him. She alleged that she had no
objections to paying him what right
fully is due him but declared that she
is opposed to giving money to at
torneys whom she did not employ and

$500 A MONTH ALIM0NY
Court Grants Divorce Decree to
Mrs. |. R. Smith

'The only difference between me and
Taft is that he runs the government
and I am run by a woman. We both
run on this day, March 4, 1903. Ta-ta.
Your loving hubby, 1. h >.
Such, according to Mrs. I. R. Smith,
was the note left by her husband when
he bade her farewell. She told her
story in court yesterday, stating that
from the day her husband left the note
he has done nothing for her support.
The only difference between the note
as 1t was exhibited In court and as 1t
is printed here is in the spelling, which
was so bad in the original as to be
hardly translatable into comprehensive
English.
The wife, Mrs. Abbie @. Smith, was
given a decree and alimony of 5000 a
month, the allowance to be a charge
upon the husbands realty holdings and
mining stock, which are valued at be-
tween $4,000 and 100000.

COUNCIL MAY RECONSIDER
STORM DRAIN PROTESTS

Gloom in thick chunks hung over
the board Of public works yesterday
because of the action of the council
Tuesday in sustaining the protest
against the Alameda street storm drain.
The board, especially w. H. Humph-
reys, had counted strongly on denying
the protest because the councils action
on this matter is expected to settle the
storm drain question for the future.
1t is possible that Mayor Alexander
will address a communication to the
council suggesting that the matter be
reconsidered, as he believes the pro-
posed storm drain is a public necessity
and should be constructed. Several
members of the council who voted to
sustain the protest concluded yesterday
that they had made a mistake and
would vote the other way If 1t was
again brought up for consideration.

Woman Says Spouse Has an Af-

Gertrude F. West yesterday was
given a decree of divorce from julius
West, United States marshal at Nor

The case was heard by Judge Con-
ley of MADEIRA county, sitting for
Judge Hutton in department 4 of the
Los Angeles county superior court.
The charge was cruelty. She declared
that she was wheedled into signing
away her home, and asserted that her
husband has an affinity. She asked
the court to grant her alimony of $65
a month, but when the judge learned
that she already is receiving $40 a
mnoth from her husband he refused to
order an increase in the amount.
The same judge gave a decree to

HANDCUFFS FAIL TO HOLD
INMATE OF COUNTY JAIL
r. McNutt, Charged with Wife
Desertion, Slips Bracelets

The county jail has an inmate who
cannot be handcuffed, the authorities
claim. He is F. McNutt, formerly a
deputy constable, who was bound
over to the superior court under a
$1,000 bond Tuesday at Rolin on a
charge of wife and child desertion. Nc
Mutt came to grief, 1t is claimed.
through an affinity. Deputy District
Attorney McComas prosecuted the
case.
McNutt astounded the Rolin con-
stable while en- route to Los Angeles
yesterday by deftly unlocking ths
handouts from his wrists while the
constable was gazing out of the car
window. They were quickly replaced,
but hardly had the officers taken their
eyes from him than he had shifted
them from his wrists and politely
handed them back with cool 'Here's
your bracelets"
McNutt, because of his talent, is in
one Of the most closely watched wards
OF the county jail. He will be guarded
when he goes to his trial in the supe-
rior court.

FIRE COMMISSIONERS MAY
DEAL IN PYROTECHNICS
Question of Protection of School
Promises Lively Debate

Fireworks are likely to be seen at
the meeting of the fire commission
this morning, for Commissioner c. o.
HaWley is not at all pleased with the
opinion that Emmett Wilson, deputy
city attorney, is expected to give In
connection with fire protection to the
school houses. 1t is expected that
Mr.. Wilson will advise the board that
as all the school buildings are OF class
I'D" construction, which permits of
frame buildings, the board of educa-
ton Is not required to exercise the
care that the fire commission consid-
ers it should. He will probably advise
that the building ordinance will gov
ern cases of faulty exits or insuffi-
cient stairways and that structural
arrangements may be demanded to
comply with the ordinance.
One interesting phase of the con-
troversy between the fire board and
the board Of education over school
house fire protection is that Mr.. Will
son is also the deputy city attorney
assigned to the school department.
TO fill up the gaps in the city's laws
where they affect schoolhouse protec-
ton it is probable that the fire COM
mission will ask the council to pass
an ordinance requiring certain meas
ures to be taken for fire protection.
In addition to the schoolhouse mat
ter N. Banks CregIer, who has Just
completed the Cregier signal sstem In
the University district, will make
charges against certain employees OF
the bureau of fire alarm, whom he
accuses of interfering with him in his
work, and trying to make his system
ineffective for the benefit of the Game
we'll company.

News of the Courts
WILLS ESTATE MUST
DEFEND NEW SUIT
Complicated Transaction In
voIved in Action Brought
by Robert Finney

Miss Madeline Frances Wills, recent
ly sued in the superior court for a
share in the $500, 900 estate left by their
parents by her brother, DR.. w. lie
Moyne Wills, was made a defendant
yesterday in an action filed with the
county clerk.
It is a tangled affair and is the
action of Robert Finney, as trustee for
Harry Finney, who, according to the
VIII of Ann Eliza Finney, is her heir,
against Miss Wills and Louise r. M.
Brainerd, as executrix of the estate of
Mrs. Charlotte L. Wills, widow of
John A. Wills, the latter two being the
parents of Miss Wills and her
physician brother.
The complaint recites that John A.
Wills, according to his last will and
testament, made December Il, 1881,
devised a trust fund of $4,000 to his
wife, Charlotte A. Wills, to be in
vested in some safe company for the
benefit of his sister, Ann Eliza Finney
of Marysville, N. Y. The income was
to go to her during her lifetime, and If
it did not equal $500 q year the hus-
band made 1t a charge upon his wife
to give his sister enough to make
the interest on the trust fund total
that sum.
It is asserted that Mrs. Charlotte
Wills converted the sum her husband
desired to be a benefit to his-~sister
to her own use, utterly disregarding
his instructions for Mrs. Finney's
benefit and his desire that after her
death the $4,000 was to be bequeathed
to her children.
The complaint in the present case
asserts that Mrs. Finney died April 8,
1905, and that the claimant in vain
has applied to Miss Brainerd for what
he asserts is due the person for whom
he acts as trustee.
Alleging that Mrs. Wills left her
daughter, Miss Wills, property in Los
Angeles valued at more than 100000,
the plaintiff asks the court that 1t be
soltI to satisfy what he declares is due,
according to John A. Wills will.

the car.
