News of the Courts
COURT SCORES FAILURE
T0.PR0VIDED STATUTE
Judge Intimates Women Use Law
to Force Defrayment of
Divorce Costs

Disapproval of a mans being sued
for failure to provide while divorce
action, in which he is a party, is pend
ing, was forcibly expressed by Judge
Willis of the superior court yesterday
when he continued the case Of Charles
Payne, accused in that manner, to be
reset.
Payne left his wife Immediately after
marrying her and has not lived with
her a day since. Instead he brought
suit for divorce and she retorted by
causing his arrest upon the charge OK
failure to provide.
The judge said that he does not be-
lieve in such charges while divorce
action is pending, as the civil court in
which a divorce case is to be heard can
settle the matter of a mans caring for
his wife pending hearing and can
send him to Jail without trial If he
disobey's the tribunals order as to the
temporary alimony he shall give his
wife. He intimated that many women
take advantage of the fact that failure
to provide is a felony in California and
force their husbands to defray the costs
of divorce suit and to defend them
selves In a criminal action at the same
time.

GIRL WINS DELAY
IN BALDWIN CASE
Heirs of Millionaire Turfman Are
Worsted in Preliminary Sklr-
mish Over the Estate
HEARING IS FIXED FOR DEC. IL
Attorney for Alleged Daughter Is
Unable to Be Here on
Date First Set

The contest of Miss Beatrice Anita
Turnbull Baldwin over the Will OF
ELIAS j. Baldwin, who, she alleges, was
her father, scheduled to begin Decem-
ber /, yesterday was continued until
December IL by Judge Rives or the
probate court, after hearing lengthy
arguments.
legitimate heirs OF the dead million
aire turfman, came down from San
Francisco to head the opposition and
Gesner williams, A. w, Hutton ano
Isidore Dockweiler appeared in behali
of Miss Baldwin, in whose interests
they asked for the continuance.
The postponement was asked pc
cause of the inability of Walter b.
Grant of Boston, one of the youns
alleged heirs eastern attorneys. to
come to Los Angeles by December l.
and also because 1t was asserted that
a petition for partial distribution OF
the estate already filed would be az
fected by the will contest.
Judge Rives was asked to continue
the contest until February, but he re-
fused to grant a continuance until
later than December IL, saying that his
principal reasons for doing SO were be-
cause of the inability of Mr.. Grant to
come here until that time and because
his legal associates represented that
he is needed at tho hearing.
Bradner w. Lee, represe nting III. A.
Unruh, executor or the estate, attempt
ed to take a hand in the discussion.
but Mr.. Hutton, representing the
young girl who seeks to have herseit
declared daughter of Baldwin and
to have a daughters share In his prop
erty, said he did not consider 1t any
of Mr.. Unruh's business to whom the
estate is distributed, so long as he
performs his duties as executor to the
satisfaction OF the court.
BY the action of the court in grant
ing the continuance there will be no
partial distribution of the estate, as
asked by Mrs. Clara Baldwin Stocker
and Mrs. Anita Baldwin McSlaughrey
of San Francisco, the millionaire's
daughters, until the court determines
who are the heirs and whether the
16-year-old daughter of Mrs. Lillian
Ashley Turnbull Is one.
Another matter upon which the at
torneys for the interested parties can
not agree is whether the case shall be
tried before a jury. The lawyers for
the young girl claimant desire 1t heard
in that way, but those representing
those who are known to be heirs are
fighting such an action. Judge Rives
has not yet determined the matter.

Is Drank at Coliseum

The Rev. DR.. Charles e. Locke, pas
tor of the First Methodist church, yes
terday pleaded with the city council
to enact some legislation that would
stop the Sunday motorcycle racing at

the representative of men and women
who lived in the vicinity of the motor
drome and whose Sundays were dis
turbed by the noise and confusion re-
sulting from the races. He declared
that he did not appear primarily to ask
for Sabbath observance, but to give
the working people of the locality a
quiet Sunday He said he had been
informed that gambling was carried
on at the place and that wagonloads
Of beer were hauled there frequently.

Municipal Affairs
OUTLYING DISTRICTS TO
HAVE NEW POLICE SERVICE

Arrangements have been made by the
University division of the police de-
partment so that people in the outlying
districts of the city can really find a
policeman when they want one.
The plan is to establish two telephone
stations, one at Forty-second and Cen
tral and the other at Forty-eighth and
Vermont. Motorcycle policemen will
be stationed at these telephones and
when someone wants a policeman quick
he can be secured by calling the tele-
phone numbers. This eliminates the
necessity of first calling headquarters
and then headquarters having to find a
policeman.
The police commission yesterday
asked the council to ratify contracts
with the two telephone companies for
the phones that win be used and the
supply committee will do so.

THREE PARK PROJECTS
STOPPED BY COUNCIL

Three park projects were stopped by
the council yesterday. They were the
ones to make park of a number of
lots in the Florence Terrace tract ad-
jacent to Hazard park reservoir; the
land near Rosedale cemetery between
Pico and Sixteenth streets and the
land at Thirty-seventh and Hooper.
Instructions had been given to the
city engineer by the former council to
begin proceedings for condemnipg land
for these parks, but on the advice of
the committee on public welfare the
council yesterday rescinded the in
structions.
In it's report the committee said it
believed thoroughly in parks, but that
it costs the city money to maintain
such places and the present state of
municipal finances would not justify
the city in acquiring more territory to
care for.

of these cases the relatives of the de-
