WOMAN HAILED TO COURT
FOR 18-CENT SHORTAGE
Police Prod Rooming-House Pro-
prietOrs Who Fail to
Procure Licenses

Eighteen cents and Mrs. Sarah Gill
the law combined to cause lot of
trouble in Police Judge Chambers
court yesterday. The eighteen cents
represented the balance due on Mrs.
Gilhooly's license to conduct a room
ing house at S29 Alpine street. She
thought 1t too trifiing to bother about;
the officers thought otherwise, and the
trouble resulted.
For several days a score of police
officers have been busy inspecting
rooming houses for their quarterly IL
censes, which are past due. A sturdy
patrolman called at the house Of Mrs.
Gilhooly Monday and finding that she
did not have her license, informed her
that she would have to go to court.
"I don't have to. have got some-
thing else to do besides running into
court" she is quoted as having re-
piled to the Cfflcer.
This was enough for the patrolman
and he hied himself to Police Judge
Chambers court and there secured a
bench warrant for her arrest The
warrant was served and Mrs. Gilhooly,
very indignant, accompanied the Off
Ger to central police headquarters.
When they got to the corridor just
outside the courtroom she refused to
go any farther.
: In a few minutes a burly police
man was seen carrying her into court.
When arraigned before. Police Judge
Chambers she had cooled down con-
siderably and at once pleaded not
guilty. stood on her constitutional
rights" and demanded jury trial. The
court set November as the time for
her hearing and fixed her bail in the
sum of $25. Being unable to furnish
that amount, she had to go to Jail.
Mrs. Julia G.. Matchett, who con-
ducts a rooming house at 556 South
Flower street, was another who re-
fused to go to court, but when she
learned that a bench warrant had been
issued for her she imm ediately went
to court. Her only excuse was that
she had forgotten all about her IL
cense' She was let off with a sus-
pended sentence providing she secured
her license Immediately.
There are over 500 rooming house
Keepers who are delinquent in their
last quarterly license. About 150 of
these have been requested to appear
in court during the last few days and
have been given suspended sentences.
Police Judge Chambers stated yester-
day that If any of them appear in
court again on the same charge he
will impose fines.

WIFE OBJECTS To MATE
RECALLING OLD AFFAIRS
Asks Divorce Because Husband
Referred Too Frequently
to Others Charms

Department four OF the superior
court was in a continual. snicker yes
terday during part of the trial Of
the divorce action of Welcome ]. Wal
ser against Eugene o. Walser, the
grounds for the suit being cruelty.
Judge Covert of Kings county, with
headquarters at Hanford, sat for
Judge Hutton of the Los Angeles coun-
ty superior court, and he denied the
request of the attorneys for a secret
hearing.
Mrs. Walser alleges that her hus-
band has been cruel to her and that
she cannot endure his asserted per-
secutions any longer. She told the
court that she had been told by her
husband after their marriage that he
formerly had been possessed of six
different sweethearts and that his con-
tinual reference to their charms caused
her such great mental anguish that it
constituted cruelty.
"It was only ten days after our mar
riage in Salt Lake City, October IL,
1906" she averred, 'that he began to
tell me of previous affairs of the heart
that had been his. Despite the fact
that I particularly requested him not
to do so, he persisted, to my great
grief.
"Once he refused to tell me VINO
talked to him over the phone, when
1 was certain that 1t was a woman
because Of the infections in the voice,
as I could vaguely hear 1t over the in
strument."
The plaintiff declared that at her re-
quest the defendant finally consented
to burn the pictures of former sweet
hearts, though he persisted for a while
in wearing in his watch the picture
of one. She told the court of meeting
him at the train once when he was
arriving in Los Angeles, doing so
merely, she asserted, to prevent her
parents from being grieved by the
thought that she was unhappy in her
married life
After the case had occupied the en-
tire time of the court for a day and
the husband had gone on the stand
to deny his wife's charges practically
In their entirety, his brother was
called as q witness. The latter averred
that the wife had pulled hair from her
husbands head "and laid 1t on the
table,"
The testimony sounded so ridiculous
that only the vigorous rapping of the
bailiff's mallet caused a cessation of
the laughter which had sounded more
or less loudly throughout the entire
case.
Finally all Of the evidence except
that which will be given In rebuttal
was taken and the case was continued
until this morning at 10 O'Clock.

PHOENIX, Ariz., Oct. 1S.--Making
up for time lost in getting ready for

proposals for articles today. One of
these would render all public officers
subject to recall. Two provide drastic
Incorporation regulations designed to
curb trust combinations and stop the

Others of the proposals would limit
the number of bills introduced in the
legislature and restrict the railroad
commission of the new state to five
members, who would not have the
privilege of free transportation on the
roads they regulate. A time limit prob
ably will be placed on the introduction
of proposals tomorrow. Instructions
were given the various committees to-
day to expedite the work of the con-
vention by drafting proposals them

The California judiciary system prob
ably will be adopted by the convention,

There are certain things in which
the state is obviously Incapable OF
asserting as useful power, as useful
control as the national government,
In these the national government
should control There are many
places In which the protection of

In speaking of the situation. Chair

"A long series Of defeats have great

not an easy matter to get enough en-

ut Is true that we are handicapped
very much in not having a newspaper
at our command to voice our prin-
cipleS and create interest In the ranks

sentiment In our favor during the cam.

In the ranks who are willing to spend
their time Sratuitously for the good

together have tendency to cause
feeling of lethargy to take hold OF
the members of the party and cause
them to let the primaries and conven-
tion go by default.
This is an important year in the
politics of Utah, though, and I feel
that the Democrats should take hold
of the work of the party with re
newcd energy and enthusiasm II Is
likely that we Will succeed in elect
