COURT INJUNCTION
WOLATEDBY CITY
SOME OFFICIAL MAY BE SENT
TO JAIL FOR ERROR
Street Railway Company Given Per-

straining Order

Whether some members of the board
of public works or City Engineer Ham

orous yesterday, although President
Hubbard volunteered to take the blame
on his own shoulders, and if this

correct an error it is alleged to have
made or stand the consequences. The
error seems to have been in granting
the Los Angeles Interurban permit
to cut a piece of the curb in front OF
the home of DIR. Ralph Hagan at Lake
and Eighth streets. The Los Angeles
Interurban has curve in its tracks
at this place and the cars make dis
agreeable noise in going around IL.
Complaint was made to the board OF
uubIic works and the railway was or
dered to make longer curve SO the
nuisance would be abated. TO do TINS
it was necessary to cut into the curp'
DIR. Hagan secured temporary lnJunc-
ton restraining the board from taxing
this action and later the injunction was
made permanent.
The hoard was informed the inJunc-
tion had been dissolved and supposing
the information was correct a permit
was granted to the railway to make
the cut in the curb. =,
The cut was made and yesterday M.
X Young, attorney for DR.. Hagan,
notified the board the injunction had
heen violated and demanded the dam
age to the curb be repaired at once.

Browns attorney. A. A. Sturges, it is
claimed, but was not discovered by the
latter until he made a hurried trip to
San Francisco several days ago to col
lect a large balance he supposed was
due him on transactions through
Browns bucket shop. The finallty WIN
which the attorney notified Brown OIL
his withdrawal from his defense was
sufficient to prove that the balance
was a myth.
When Brown was released on bonds
several months ago he reopened his
Offices in the San Fernando BUILDING
and sent out literature regarding
stocks, bonds and grain as pronls-
cuously as if his operations never nau
been interfered with. Among those VINO
had transactions with MN were q; d

were led to believe their investments
were bringing large returns, and a teef-
ing of happiness prevailed until the

the first to engage in the peculiar spec
ulative deals of his client. After the
iury's verdict was returned the attor-
new went to San Francisco, where, IL
was testified at the trial, the main
office of the Slauson avenue bucKet
shop is located. He returned Iuesday

nothing further to do with his defense.

SUES SON-lN-LAW
FOR MAINTENANCE
JUSTICE SURPRISED BY DE-
MANDS OF GERMAN

NEW YORK, Feb. 18.-"I have heard
q great deal of American heiresses VINO
married titled foreigners ana supporter
their husbands out OF their own es-
tates," said Justice Platzek in reserV-
ing decision in a supreme court Case
yesterday. But this is the first case
| have heard where the husband de-
manded support from the father of
his wife,
The Justice made that statement III
closing hearing on motion which re-
vealed that Mrs. Mae r. Becker, daugn-
ter of William l.. Radford OF NO. II
West Ninety-fifth street, had sued
Lieutenant William A. Becker tor a
separation on grounds of non-support
and cruelty and that Becker hau re-
taliated by suing her parents for $oO'-
600 each, he alleging they had aiienated
her affections. All the suits were as
continued by consent after Becker ana
his wife became reconciled, but they
have separated again and the suits
are to be pressed. Miss Radford was
envied by her girl friends of the west
side when it was announced that she
was to marry a young lieutenant OF
the German army, with an estate ol
400 acres near Landau.
Asa L. Carter of No. GO Wall street,
in behalf of Becker, sought PERMISSION
yesterday to revive the alienation sulI
against Radford. He said Becker had
been deceived into conSenting to dls-
continuance. Becker set forth In an
affidavit that he was on a visit to TINS
country when he met Miss Radtord IN
Baltimore When he proposed, she toid
him her parents must first investigate
his antecedents. Becker says the IN
ouiry proved so satisfactory to the
Radfords that they consented TO the
marriage. 1t took place in the Church
of the Heavenly Rest on November
G., 1907, and the couple went ABROAD.
Becker explains why he dld not nave
any money. He says that soon a1ter
his marriage his father died, and under
the German law the large estate Went
to his mother. He had several thou-
sand dollars in bank after the wedding,
but he says his wife was so extrava-
CANT the cash was soon spent. Then
she left him, he says.
Mrs. Becker gave q different version
in her affidavit. She says her parents,
on investigating Becker's ancestry
could learn little. After the honey
moon abroad he did not have any
money, sshe says, and she lent nm
MANY thousands of dollars. She AYERS
he often struck her when he did not
get money. She denies that her parents
influenced her to sue.
Becker's explanation Of the discon-
tinuance of his suits is as follows:
Radford's lawyers proposed a settle
ment. A conference was held in the
office of B. E. Rabbell, and 1t was
agreed that all the suits would be
dropped if Radford would support
Rocker and his wife until such time
as Becker came into his inheritance.
