DESPONDENT WIFE FAILS
IN EFFORT To END LIFE
Turns on Gas After Writing Note
to Husband but Is Saved
by the Doctor

Leaving a note for her husband, re-
questing that her mother be kept in
ignorance of her death, Mrs. Manda
Roquz, 75S Lamar street, attempted
suicide in her room yesterday after
noon by inhaling Illuminating gas. Her
life was saved by the arrival of a
physician, who administered treatment
a few moments after the woman was
discovered unconscious.
Roomers in the house where Mrs.
Roquz tried to end her life smelled
gas shortly after 1 o'clock. InVesti
eating, they traced the odor to the
womans room on the second floor.
They found the door locked and when
there was no response to their calls
they broke the door down and found
Mrs. Roquz lying on the bed with the
gas pouring into the room from the
open jet.
Several women rushed from the house
to the street and began screaming fof
a doctor. DIR. M. l.. Martin, 2427 Broad
way, happened to be passing in his au-
tomobile. Learning the cause Of the
commotion he went to Mrs. Roquz's
rom and after working over her for
fully half an hour brought her to
consciousness.
Mrs. Roquz has been despondent for
several weeks and is said to have eX-
pressed a desire to die. The letter she
left for her husband read:
Il don't want mamma, or anybody
else, for that matter to be notified of
this. 1 am simply tired of living"

MIXED IN COURT CASES
Eleven Get Licenses, Five File
Suits, Two Get DEGREES in
Days Legal GriSt

relations yesterday included the is
suance of eleven marriage licenses, the
filing of five divorce actions, the
granting of two DEGREES, the institution
of a suit for annulment Of marriage
and a petition for the adoption of four
children.
The number of marriage licenses is
sued was unusually small, considering
that on one day since last January
fifty-nine permits to wed were granted
In those issued yesterday there was
little of interest except that they af-
fected persons from 10 to 73 years old.
The four actions for divorce filed
were those of Georgia. Williams against
George Williams, Lizzie Harrington
against Jesse w. harrington, Pearl c.
Avery against James F. Avery and
Laurette w. McAnley against Frank
P. McAnley.
DEGREES of divorce were granted to
two men by Judge Conrey of depart
ment five. Silas F. Mason was freed
from Anna B. Mason on the grounds
of desertion, Eugene J. Schallert was
permanently separated from Zena L.
Schallert upon his satisfying the court
of the woman's infidelity.
Harry L. Ottinger petitioned the
court for the annulment of his mar
riage to Flora Ottinger. He said that
when the wedding occurred, July IL,
1907, he thought a former wife had OBJ
tained a divorce from him. He learned
to the contrary June l. 1910
Antonio Miranda, 90 years old, a
candymaker and baker of San Fran
cisco. asked the court to permit him
to adopt Simon, Guadalupe, Jesus and
Petra Silveas, respectively Q, 8, and
years old, who are distantly related
to him.
Miranda says that the children s
mother died in Pasadena in July, 1908,
and asserts that after her death they
We're neglected by their father, Juan
Silveas. who July 81, 1909, pleaded
guilty to a charge of burglary. and now
IS serving a term of two years in the
penitentiary at Folsom.
Miranda declares that for a consider
able period he has been providing the
children with food and clothing, and
sending them to school in Pasadena. He
says he is a widower and lives with
his mother and sister in San Francisco
He wants to have the children legally
declared his, so he may have them with
him and give them proper care and
protection.

ARREST TICKET BROKER
ON MAIL FRAUD CHARGE
U. S. Grand Jury IndiCtS Man for
Sale of 'SCaIped' Transpor-
tation by Letter

Charles Jordan, a ticket broker with
offices at 413 South Hill street, who was
indicted Friday by the federal grand
jury on q. charge of fraudulent use of
the mails, was arrested yesterday by
Deputy United States Marshal Bert
Franklin and lodged in the county jail
in default of $4,000 cash bail.
The indictment grew out of many
complaints which have been registered
by the railroads with the United States
district attorneys office against ticket
"scalpers." The only way to reach
them through the law, it is said, being
through the mails, as they are COM
PEELED when negotiating their sales to
use the mails.
Frank Stewart, deputy United States
district attorney said yesterday that
this was the only case of it's kind which
he knew of where a prosecution had
been attempted. The business of deal
ing in tickets, it is known, has been
practiced to considerable extent in Los
Angeles, despite the efforts of the rail-
roads to prevent it.
Jordan, in the indictment. is specific
ally charged with mailing a letter to
b. r. Claywell of Huntington Park, in
which he informed him he had two
tickets over the Santa Fe, one for Clay
well and one for Mrs. Claywell, read
ing to points in Missouri and Kansas.
Jordan, it is caid, offered the two
tickets for sale at $50 In the letter,
it is alleged, he intimated that the de-
scription would fit his prospective Gus
toners, meaning that they resembled
the original purchasers of the tickets.
Jordan states that he acted as agent
in the sale of tickets and says that he
did so with an understanding from his
attorneys that he would not be held
crirninally liable. He was accom-
panied to the Jail by his pretty wife,
who is frantically endeavoring to OBJ
tain bondsmen for her husband.
The Jordans live at 800 West Fifth
street and came to Los Angeles last
April. He probably will be arraigned
in the United States district court No
vember 21.

MAN TELLS POLICE 0F
 ASSAULT ON HIS SON
w. A. Thompson Claims His Fifteen Year-Old Boy Was Beaten
 Unmercifully.

That John Starkey, aged 9 years, living at 912 South Third avenue. had participated in an assault upon his fifteen year-old boy, in the course of which the lad was badly beaten and perhaps seriously injured, was the story w. A Thompson, of 1112 South Second avenue, told the police last evening. The assault is said to have occurred on South First avenue near Tonto street, and Thompson claims his son was so roughly handled as to rem der him almost unconscious and that he had to carry him to his home some three blocks away.
 According to the story Thompson told, several boys became engaged ip an altercation at the time and one of these became engaged in a single handed conflict with the Thompson boy When the Thompson boy was seemingly getting the better of the contest, it is claimed Starkey inter ferred and rolled the other boy over and on top of the Thompson boy. Whenever young Thompson seemed to be gaining any advantage, it is said Starkey invariably interferred. 1t was inferred from what the elder Thomp- son said that Starkey also struck the lad several times.
 A large crowd was attracted by the affair and finally when help arrived it is said that Starkey made himself scarce. The police stated they would be unable to take hand in the affair as no officer had witnessed the affair and no warrant had been issued.
