News of the Courts
LAURA JEAN LIB EYED
MAN AYERS WIFE CRUEL
Husband Secures Divorce from
Mate Who Prefers yellow
Backs to Cooking

That the reading of trashy novels by
a wife constitutes cruelty to the hus-
band was a theory advanced in the
divorce court. where Judge Church
of Fresno presided yesterday.
Edward w. Smith, who. was given a
decree of divorce from his wife, Rosa
V. Smith, asserted that Mrs. Smith
had been cruel to him by the continual
perusal of trashy novels against his
will and to his detriment when she
instead of preparing his meals
Smith told of frequently returning
home at night, tired from a long days
work to find that supper was not
ready and that his wife was curled up
on the sofa reading the trials and
tribulatons of misused heroines.
When he demonstrated, he said, his
wife told him he knew what he could
do If he didn't like it,"
Furthermore. he alleged his wife be-
came so infatuated with reading the
yellow covered volumes that she de-
manded of him that he supply her
with more of them, striking him and
calling him vile names when he re-
fused
Margaret Clinton, who told the court
that her husband, Dr. Edward NJ Clin-
ton, a physician of San Francisco,
whose wealth is said to be in the
neighborhood of 100000, deserted her
after gradually growing colder and
cloder, was given a divorce.
Matte Ida Palmatory was granted
a decree from Jake Palmatory upon
her satisfying the court that her hus-
band had failed to provide for her.
For a similar reason Eva Cadman was
divorced from Edwin ]. Cadman.
The contested divorce action of Gus
tave w Mas, president of the Insti-
tute of Mechanical Orthopaedics, who
accuses his wife, Bessie Maud Mas,
of infdelity, was resumed.
Only three new divorce suits were
filed Yesterday. They were those of
F. Joseph Knight against Gertrude
Rebecca Knight, Ethel L. Gilley
against Henry E. Gilley, and Lulie
Redington against Ralph Redington.

COUNCIL MAY GIVE $500
TO HEAT P0LICEMEN'S FEET
East End Squad May Get Steam
Pipes Near the Floor

The yearly epidemic of cold feet
among the policemen of the Eastside
station, which breaks out as the chill
blasts of winter start to whistle, this
year stands in fair way to be nipped
in the bud. Yesterday the finance
committee of the council intimated
that it would recommend to the coun-
Gil to appropriate $500, a portion Of
which will be used to stave off the
pedal frigidity of the Eastside squad.
the money to be expended in removing
the heating system pipes from the
ceiling and installing them nearer the
floor.
AS the heating system now operates,
offices of Captain Haupt's detail have
no other method of warming their
toes than to stand upon their heads
in an effort to reach the glow Of
pipes. Captain Haupt objects to hav-
ing his station house turned into an
imitation of a head balancers' act in
a three-ring circus, and through Chief
Galloway yesterday made a plea for
a heating system which would be all
that the name implies.
The central station is, according to
the statement of the chief, in need
of a reorganization and repair of its
radiators, and part of the $500 will be
used to correct the existing faults.

SANTA FE Gets 10000
TIES FROM TASMANIA
English Traveller Tells of Big
Shipment of Eucalyptus
for Railroad

J. T. T. Paxton, head of a corpora
ton composed of English bankers, is
in Los Angeles, en- route home from
trip to Mexico, where he has been look
ing after the interests of his corpora
ton, and brings word of a large ship
ment of eucalyptus ties, which will
arrive here within a few days, and
which are to be experimental with by
the santa Fe railroad.
The ties, according to Mr.. Paxton,
were shipped some time ago from Tas-
mania and are due here within day
or two There are $4,000 ties in the
shipment, enough for forty miles of
track, and it is understood that the
Santa Fe road will use them-in South
ern California, replacing the old style
redwood ties with eucalyptus.
THE hard wood ties are the ones
which will be used extensively in all
future railroad construction" said Mr.
Paxton last evening at the Van Mugs
hotel. 1.-The railroads throughout the
western portion of the United States
have been experimenting with soft
wood ties and found them wanting
now they will spend a little more
money and get hard wood to build
their railroads with"
Tasmania is the home of the euca-
lyptus tree and there are gigantic for
ests of them there. The eucalyptus
which is being grown in Southern CALI
fornia, while it has a certain value
now, will not amount to much COM
mercially until the trees are very old.
In Tasmania we never think of cutting
a tree to be used for commercial pur-
poses until it is at least 100 years old"

MERCHANTS AND RAILWAY
MEN TALK OF SCHEDULES

SAN BERNARDINO, Oct. 2S.-The
question of terminal rates for Cotton
was considered today at a conference
held at the Glenwood hotel in River
side between representatives of COM
mercial bodies of all the cities of in
terror Southern California and rep
resentatives of railroads. General
Freight Agents Barnwell. of the Santa
Fe, T. A. Graham of the Southern Pa
cific and r. M. Sloan of the Salt Lake
were present. The meeting resulted
in a better understanding on the part
of both interests, though it is not eX-
pected that the railroads will grant
the rates asked for until compelled to
do so by the interstate commerce COM
mission.
Commercial bodies in interior cities
are soon to meet to form a permanent
organization to carry on the contest
for terminal rates for Cotton as a CEN
trail point for the interior.

INQUIRY OF DETECTIVES
UNDER FIRE POSTPONED
Mayor Gets Delay Until He Re-
turns from Trip

The police commissioners, at an ex-
ecutive session yesterday afternoon, on
request of Mayor Alexander, decided
to postpone the investigation of the
charges against Detectives Talamantes
and Rico, scheduled for Monday night,
until such time as the mayor returns
from his trip along the aqueduct,
which is expected to consume a week.
The commission considered the read
justment of the squads in the police
department with a view to arriving
at a point where no unnecessary hard
ship would be worked upon patrolmen
in changing watches.
The police commissioners took up
the matter of closing saloon doors
leading to blind alleys, and it is under
stood that at the next meeting of the
board an order will be issued notify
ing saloon keepers to abolish doors
leading from their places Of business
into blind alleys.
