This preparatory action was tax \

there has been no appeal from the

rioting take no part In police work be-

The precedent for this action of the
national authorities is found in the
case OF the great Denver strike in 1908
when the federal troops from Fort

safeguard the United States mint
there. Appearance of the regulars
had the quieting effect.

be failure. The labor leaders are
confident, however. of the success of

ILLINOIS POLICE
WANT BURTON
JEWELRY STORE BURGLARY
CHARGED TO HIM
Should Eastern Case Prove Stronger
Than That Here Man Arrested
by Chinese May Be
Extradited

More trouble was piled up yesterday
by the police against the man they
arrested as John Burton. William
Pinkerton, head of the detective
agency bearing his name, instructed
his employees in Los Angeles to report
to Captain of Detectives Flammer
that the Pinkertons would assist in
prosecuting the prisoner.
Pinkerton's message said that Bur-
ton, known to him as John Bingham,
alias William Halpin, alias George
Retts, was wanted at Joliet, ILL.,, on a
charge of plundering Merriam's jew
elry store in that city. The proceeds
of the burglary amounted to several
hundreds of dollars
Bingham had two accomplices in the
jewelry store burglary. The store
was entered the night of December /.
The burglars escaped, leaving no trace.
When the Chicago police and the Pin
kerton agency received the police pho
tographs of Burton taken after he
had been arrested by a number of
Chinese who caught him in the act OF
trying to steal SIG from the cash
drawer at the store of the Great East
ern company, they identified Burton
as a former convict and the Joliet
jewelry store burglar.
Burton has been held to answer here
on the charge of grand larceny.
Should the Chicago and Joliet police
possess a stronger case against him
he will be given into their custody.

car conductor, January 20, 1909, ac-
cording to Shewmaker's testimony In
Judge Conrey's court yesterday in his
suit against the physician for $4,000
on account of personal injuries.

Shewmaker said when he picked him
self up from the street Orbison's ap-
pearance in court as defendant was
a foregone conclusion.
The trouble occurred on Shoemaker s
car on Colorado street, Pasadena, the
cause being five pennies rendered as
fare by Miss Ida M. Jones. The con-
ductor, Orbison said, made a sneering
remark concerning the money, and
when he passed the seat occupied by
the physician the latter voiced a mild
protest.
HE invited me off the car, and when
I was descending the steps on one side
he became frightened and fell off the
other" said the physician.
HE beat me and pushed me off the

PEANUT VENDER ACCEPTS
WORTHLESS GEORGIA BILLS
Clever Scheme Worked Which Makes
Paper Look Like Genu-
inc Tender

Strands of colored silk thread inter-
woven between two Georgia state bank
bills, which were pasted together, con-
sidered worthless because the issue has
been withdrawn. assisted a man known
to pool hall keepers as Guy Sells, in
swindling a Greek peanut and popcorn
peddler. George Karnas, the vendor of
the popcorn and goober, complained to
Patrolman Ferns of the Eastside police
station, and yesterday Ferns was
granted complaint by Prosecutor Hill
against Sells.
The story told by the Greek was that
a negro boy offered him what pur-
ported to be a $40 bill in paying for
four sacks of peanuts. Karnas was
suspicious of the money and examined
it closely. He did not observe that the
two Georgia bank bills had been pasted
back to back, but held the psuedo
money to the light at the negro boy $
suggestion and observed the lines of
silk thread, without which no paper
money is issued.
This scrutiny satisfied Karnas and he
took it to a barber shop to have it
changed. The BARRIERS attention was
called to the silk threaCs interviewer in
the bill and that satisfied him of the
genuineness of the bill. When his bank
declined to accept it Karnas gave him
$40 gold for it, and now he is seeking
the arrest of Sells, who is alleged TO
have given the money to the negro.

FOURTH DIVORCE
SUIT IN 3 YEARS
BRINGS FREEDOM
WEALTHY PRODUCE DEALER is
GRANTED DECREE
BELIEVES WIFE'S LOVE WAS WON
BY ANOTHER
Repeated Efforts of Mills and His
Spouse to Separate Are Re-
warded--Mrs. Hay
Freed

Hearing of the fourth divorce suit
to be filed within a period of little
more than three years ended in Judge
Houser's divorce court yesterday with
the granting of decree of legal sepa-
ration to John V. Mills, d wealthy pro-
duce dealer, from his wife, Maud E
Mills. Mills action was based on the
ground of desertion, Mrs. Mills, he
said. having left him March 3, 1907, os-
tensibly to visit her parents in Fort
Scott, Kas., but in reality because of
her love for another man. Who this
man was, Mills did not state. His
only reference to him was that he had
twice disrupted the relations between
himself and his wife.
The first divorce suit was instituted
by Mrs. Mills in December, 1906, a
year and three months after the mar
riage. She was denied a decree, and
reconciliation was effected with her
husband within forty-eight hours.
Three months later she again left
her home, telling her husband she was
going to visit friends in Idaho.
81 did not believe she intended to re-
main away until 1 received the bill
for excess baggage, indicating she had
taken virtually everything she owned"
said Mills.
Refused to Return
Since then, he said, he had received
but one communication, a letter dated
Cleveland, o., in which Mrs. Mills said
she would not return, adding the only
service he could do for her would be
to forward her sewing table.
Mills filed a divorce suit in March,
1908, withdrew the action, and was a
month later served with notice that
his wife had applied for a legal sepa-
ration in the Ohio courts.
IT believe that suit was abandoned.
Mills said yesterday. 1.-THE allegations
made by my wife in her complaint
were so bitter that 1 gave notice L
would make a contest. l was willing
to take my wife back until she made
those charges against me"
The fourth divorce suit to be filed
during the short domestic life of the
couple was recorded by Mills in Sep
tember, 1909.
Mrs. Hay Gets Decree
Judge Hervey yesterday granted a
decree of divorce to Mrs. Mary e. Hay,
trial of whose action against her nus
band, William H. Hay, occupied the
greater portion of last week. On
March 10 Judge Hervey will listen to
testimony regarding the value of Hays
property in order to determine what
portion shall be given to the wife. The
custody Of two minor children will also
be considered at that time.
A decree was granted to Helen
Smart, who sued her husband, Frank
Smart, on the ground of cruelty.
The following divorce suits were
filed: Della M. jameson against Will
lam N. Jameson, Oscar c. Vail against
Harry E. Vail. Lulu Wellsher against
Charles A. Wellsher, Marshal Heard
against Ella Heard and Stella A. Har-
Ian against William Edward Harlan.
