ly civilized, as is proven by their ar
chltecture, and that the country must
have produced something not known
at the present time. The destruc-
ton and abandonment visible at every
hand was doubtless due to the inter-
necino wars among the natives them
selves. A noteworthy instance of the
Intelligence and civilization Of the
peeple at some time remote Is clearly
demonstrated by an artificial water
way constructed by them.
Present harbor conditions are not
favorable to the intending settler in
this region. The native is not to be
counted on, and all labor must be
brought from other par's. The Maya
Indian will not work. He may pos
sibly plant a small patch Of corn and
this, with his fishing, will keep him
content Should he develop a taste
for meat, he finds game in the woods

PLOT IS DEFENSE;
BRIBERY CHARGED
Counsel for Arnerich VIII Try to Show
That Police Laid Hush Money
Snare for His
Client

Counsel defending George P. Arne-
rich, charged with bribery Will try
to prove that he was the victim of a
police plot This was indicated yester-
day when Americas trial on a charge
of offering former Patrolman Fred A.
Brown a bribe of 800 to stave off the
prosecution of a liquor ordinance Vio-
lation was begun.
Brown was on the stand most of the
day. He told of having arrested Arne-
rich on June 2S, 1908, after he had ar
rested a waiter in the Good Fellows
grotto the previous night for violation
of the ordinance Brown testified that
Arnerich said to him at that time:
MIR. Brown, you're good fellow.
I'll give you $40 to get me out of this"
"When l refused" said the witness,
"Arnerich offered to raise the amount.
Later / made an appointment with
him in the presence of witnesses. He
offered me four $40 bills and twelve S.
bills" These were introduced as ex-
hibits.
The question of the appointment of
Brown as police officer was threshed
out in the morning by the attorneys
for the defense. Brown stood by his
story in spite of the gruelling cross
examination by Attorneys Hunsaker
and Fleming.
Most of the evidence is expected to
be in by this afternoon.

ASK $4,000 DAMAGES FOR
MANS DEATH CAUSED BY CAR
Mother and Daughter Charge Pacific
Electric Company Violated
City Ordinance

Forty thousand dollars damages for
the death Of their father, John Brown,
who was run over and killed by a car
on the night of July 10, 1909, is demand
ed of the Pacific Electric railway COM
pany by the widow, Mrs. Kate Brown,
and the daughter, Ethel, aged l3, who
filed suit against the road in the su-
perior court yesterday for that amount.
In bringing suit the plaintiffs charge
the railway with violating the city ordi-
nances regarding the equipment of cars
with proper tenders and with violation
of the ordinance pertaining to care be-
ing shown by cars approaching cross
ings.
The accident happened where double
tracks of the company cross Vernon
avenue. The deceased got off the car at
the crossing about midnight, in order
to go to his home, a few yards dis
tant. He was compelled to cross the
tracks after he alghted from the car,
and the plaintiffs allege that car go
ing in the opposite direction caught
him while he was blinded by the glare
of the headlight, and because of there
not being a proper fender ne was
knocked beneath the wheels and two
cars ran over him.
In view of the fact that he was ca
pable of earning 5000 a month before
his death. and that his widow and
minor child have been left without
support, the complaint asks the court
to award them $4,000 for the death of
the head of the family.

BOTH SIDES WIN
STREET DISPUTE
TWO TH0R0UGHFARES RETAIN
NAME OF SANTA MONICA
Matter Settled by Affixing Boulevard
to Name of ColegroVe Roadway,
and Avenue to That
of Rival

The two Santa Monica avenues, over
which there has been a rivalry about
possible change in name are to re-
tain the name of Santa Monica. but
the one in Colegrove is to be known
as Santa Monica boulevard and the
one north OF Agricultural park as San
ia Monica avenue. This was the con-
clusion reached by the streets and
boulevards committee at its meeting
yesterday afternoon.
As there were two streets of the
same name in Los Angeles the board
of public works felt 1t would be nee
essary to change the name of one of
them. The residents and property
owners on Santa Monica avenue in
Colegrove were diveded on the ques-
ton A portion Of them wanted the
name of the street retained and an
other portion wanted it called Cole
grove avenue. The Budlong Avenue
Improvement association wanted the
name Santa Monica retained for the
street In their district north of Agri-
cultural park. BY the decision of the
streets and bouevards committee all
will be pleased except those who fav-
ored ColegroVe avenue.

BLAMES LIQUOR
FOR FAMILY JAR
WIFE SAYS HUSBAND DRANK
QUART A DAY
Pretty Woman Tells Narrowing Story
of Blbuous Honeymoon-Man
is Said to Be a Son of
Wealthy Parents

That her husband drank a quart of
whisky every day in the year was the
statement made by Mrs. Josephine Ty-
Ter, strikingly pretty plaintiff in
divorce suit against William NJ. Tyler
before Judge Houser of the divorce
court yesterday afternoon.
Did you say a quart every day."
asked Judge Houser, leaning forward,
as though he could not believe he had
heard Alright.
He told me himself that he drank a
quart a day" she answered, land judg-
ing from his condition almost ever
since | married him three years ago, |
would not doubt his statement"
The fair plaintiff told the court that
her husband had always been the
"petted boy of his relatives, who had
given him large sums Of money to
spend, SO that he had been utterly
spoiled by their pampering.
Both his father and mother were peo-
pie of wealth, she said, and no matter
what kind of a position he held, he
either lost it or left it, because he
could get means from his folks. These
means, she declared, were not spent on
her because she had to provide her
own clothing, and on numerous occa-
sions he had left her go without food
for quite long periods while he was out
spending money in cafes with other
men and women.
Il would wait for hours in our apart
ments," she said, "for him to come
home and take me to dinner, because
had no money and he had stopped my
credit at places where l could purchase
things to cook. Finally he would come
home about II o'clock at night, appar-
emily much under the influence of
liquor, and l would be compelled to re-
tire without dinner
When they were first married, Mrs.
Tyler said, they stopped at the Alex
andria hotel. Later they went to an
apartment and cooked their own meals.
she said she was happy as long as her
husband was reasonably sober.
The plaintiff declared she did not like
Tyler's friends, because, she said, they
talked racing and betting and did not
treat her with the respect due lady.
The father of her husband is wealthy
lum herman, she said. and her husband
had held nominal position with the
firm at different intervals merely as an
excuse to draw a salary.
At the conclusion of her story Judge
Houser continued the case in order TO
secure a deposition from the defendant,
who was not present in court.

poets to get duplicate beds for his

Action In MADEIRA County Had
Similar Foundation

Chris 4Iarks, accused of obtaining
money by false representations in a
charge preferred by DIR. Louis E. Wy
koff and others that he swindled them
out of $1035, was discharged yesterday
afternoon by Judge Davis of the crimi-
nal court, following arguments present
ed by his attorneys that he had been
once in jeopardy in the county court
of MADEIRA and that the case had been
dismissed.
Following the dismissal of the charge
in MADEIRA county, an attempt was
made to have the charges proved in
the superior court of Los Angeles

number of cases in New York state
where a similarity existed, and where
the cases had been tried on their merits
in other counties.
The transaction took place in June,
