CROSS COMPLAINT GIVES
SPICE TO DIVORCE SUIT

The divorce suit of Irving Z. Car
penter against Mary E. Carpenter was
continued yesterday morning by Judge
Houser to April 5 after the hearing of
a. portion of the evidence in the case.
The plaintiff alleges desertion, but the
defendant in a cross complaint alleges
more strenuous charges against her
husband.
She charges him with extreme cruelty
and declares that on one occasion,
when she was absent for few minutes
from home, he appeared before one of
her visitors with a black mask over
his face and long knife in his hand
When she returned and recognized him
he tried to turn the affair off as a
joke she says.
She also accuses her husbands
mother of inviting her into the back
ward with coarse language to fight out
differences which had arisen between
them. She charges her husband with
turning off the water in the house
when she was seriously i'll and beating
the eldest OF their two children until
she was black and blue. With her two
children, she said, she left for her old
home in Missouri through fear of her
husband.

Herman Drummer Fails to
Bring Conviction

Herman Drummer, wealthy resident Of
Alhambra and former "1ottery king" of
st. Louis, was dismissed yesterday in

Municipal Affairs
REFUSE MAY De
BURNED BY CITY
Council Will Construct BID Incln-
orator in Case of Dis
satisfaction

The possibility or an incinerator in
which to burn the city's garbage within
the next year was suggested by Coun.
Gilman Miles S. Gregory, chairman of
the streets and boulevards committee,
at the meeting of that body yesterday
when the question of the garbage col
lection was under discussion.
Mr.. Gregory stated that members OF
the council had taken an active interest
in an incinerator proposition which had
been submitted to some of them, ana
that If Charles A. Alexander, the gar
bage contractor, failed to keep his con-
tract, the incinerator would probably be
constructed. The city has an incin-
orator which was purchased by the IA
mented river bed franchise" council,
for which a high price was paid, but
it is not large enough to dispose OF
half the citys garbage.
The question of garbage was before
the committee through resolution
presented by the board of public works
asking authority to engage the neces-
sary teams and wagons to collect the
city's garbage in case Alexander is
unable to continue with his contract.
CITY DOUBTFUL
In a report to the council submitted
last Tuesday the board expressed ap-
prehension that Alexander would not
be able to carry out his contract, ana
that it would be necessary for the
board to declare it forfeited
At the hearing before the streets
committee yesterday Attorney II. j.
Goudge, representing Mr.. Alexander,
said that Alexander should be the one
to have the apprehensions, as there
had been no failure on his part to com
ply with the contract, while the city
had failed to keep its part. he SAID
that the ordinance prohibits anyone but
the contractor from hauling garbage
through the city's streets, but that the
wagons of the Vernon hog feeders were
constantly collecting the garbage IN
advance of the contractors wagons.
He declared that when AleXander's S
men tried to collect the garbage from
hotels and restaurants the doors were
shut in their faces, although by the
terms of his contract he was entitled
to this refuse, as well as from the resi-
dences. THE city had made no effort to
enforce the ordinance protecting the
contractor, he said, and the whole con-
Germ OF the board of public works was
for the welfare of the hogs in Vernon.
ACCUSE ALEXANDER
w. M. Humphreys, chief inspector OF
public works, who wrote the report the
committee was considering, said that
Alexander had not complied with the
terms of his contract in that his load
ing station was not sanitary, that his
wagons leaked, that he was not making
premise collections, and that he was
not making the number OF collections
required in some sections of the city.
Much protest has been raised over
the loading station on Also street, but
Mr.. Alexander said yesterday that he
had already made arrangements with
the Pacific Electric company to move
the station a mile farther east.
The committee decided to give Alex
ander time to comply with his contract,
and will recommend to the council that
the resolution of the board of public
works be not adopted.

MAY REPAY
ON INSTALLMENT PLAN
Court Paroles SeIf-ConfeSSed
EmbezzIerS to Give Them
Chance to Reform

Five and seven years probation re-
spectively was granted Simon and Sam
Pearlin by Judge Willis yesterday.
Both had thrown themselves on the
mercy of the court and confessed to
embezzling two diamonds, valued at
$500 from j. Rosenkranz, following their
conviction by a jury after they had
pleaded not guilty. A recommendation
for probation in their case was refused
by Probation officer Dodds, but Judge
Willis decided the application of the
law could be upheld by imposing stiff
probation sentence on the pair
Sam Pearlin is to deposit $50 month
In the bank during the entire term of
his probation. This will amount TO
$3.50. He is not allowed to use 1t ex-
cept to repay his creditors, including
Rosenkranz, and others to whom he is
sued notes. Simon Pearlin is to save
$40 a month on the same terms. The
Judge decided he would not allow them
to engage in business for themselves,
because they had shown such disre-
gard of their obligations that he de-
cided they were too young to manipu-
late funds entrusted to their care. They
must work for living for somebody
else and draw salary.

FIREMAN WHO SLIGHTED
CHIEF SEEKS OLD JOB

With Walter Lips out of the fire
department as chief, George p. Dunn
believes he has chance, and yesterday
he asked the fire commission to rein
state him in his old position as hose
man after being out of the service for
five years. Dunn told the commission
yesterday he had been discharged by
McAleer's fire commission without a
trial on accommodation of Chief Lips.
Dunn said he made a remark about
Lips that the chief did not like, and
that the chief recommended he be
dropped from the service for 1.-The good
of the department" Civil service regu-
lations require that in discharging a
member of the fire department who has
served more than six months the COM
mission must first hold a trial. AS
there was no trial there is some ques-
ton if Dunn was legally discharged,
and If he was not he may present a
claim for back salary. The commits
sion will investigate.

day be called upon to earn and this book
may save many an anxious hour.
The general purpose of the League is

entire country and wherever women
may be found who have desire to earn
by home work, providing her work can
be carried on according to hxed stand
ards required by the League. The League
then through its selling organization,
will market her products.
The first efforts of this organization is
to deal with home manufacture of goods
which can be sold by the maker in her
own locality, without the aid of the
selling organization of the League. Later
the manufacture of articles in the home
-. IL kIaa

Those who are interested in earning
and wish to consider the making and
selling in their own locality, articles of
home manufacture will receive full

long contract with the Jonathan ciup
