CHICAGO Horse Market.

Chica go, Feb. 22.-The big six days
combination sale of light harness
horses which opened yesterday swells
the general early receipts. The run today
is estimated at 1400 horses, against
Liza head last Monday. The increased
attendance of outside buyers gives an
active tone to the market and trade
opens brisk, both at the auction and
at retail on nominally a steady basis.
A feature of the receipts is the large
percentage of elegant draft classes,
many of which have been specially
stall-finished for the trade. Fancy
specially finished drafters sold up to
$40 but they possessed supreme
weight and quality and for show pur-
poses would have sold even higher, but
the demand for show class thus far the
current season has been unusually
light from all quarters, and not more
than eight to twelve drafters have been
negotiated for combined show and
commercial use thus far this year.
Medium to good draft chunks are free

Municipal Affairs
PARK COMMISSIONERS UP
AGAINST CIVIL SERVICE
Suspended WatChmen and Can
not Pay LaborerS Who
Took Jobs

The civil service commission has the
park commission over a barrel and the
park commission does not know what
to do about it. The commissioners
gnashed their teeth in impotent rage
at their meeting yesterday but they
had to take it out in gnashing.
Some time ago the commission came
to the conclusion that the positions of
five watchmen in the city parks were
superfluous and considered it a shame
to waste all that good money So they
suspended the watchmen from duty
and asked the council to pass an ordi-
nance abolishing the positions. The
council passed an ordinance, but it does
not become effective until May 81 The
ratify the suspension of the watchmen
because the park commission had prac-
tically delegated the duties of the
watchmen to laborers. Neither will
the civil service commission certify the
pay warrants of the laborers who have
been doing the work of watchmen in
addition to their regular duties and
ha sadvised the park board that it
will not let these poor laborers draw
their pay until assured that the watch
men will be paid.
In order that the watchmen may be
paid the park commission must cer-
tify that these watchmen have worked
during the time for which they are
placed on the payroll. But they hav-
emit worked for they were suspended
by the board and if the commission
says they have worked it will be a
naughty, wicked story, so there!

The discussion took place in Judge
RordwelTs chambers, where the father

a writ of habeas corpus had been ap
n1ied for to free the girl from their
rustodv Marietta Swortfguer stated
tbo+ she had been talked into coming
10 los Angeles away from her COUSIN
ana that no force had been used, al
though her letters to Edward SWort-
fieuer had led to this impression.
In view of the compromise between

of habeas corpus were dismissed On
motion of Attorney John H. Flemlng'
who had been retained by Mary SWorl-
fguer to free the girl.

WIFE NOT WANTED; HER
DESERTION NOT PROVED
Novel Decision Rendered by Los
Angeles Divorce Court

That there is no desertion where a
spouse keeps the other half from
returning was the contention of Judge
Hutton of the divorce court yesterday
in the suit of John A. Bell against
his wife, Amelia r. Bell, for divorce
on the grounds that she had deserted
him because she did not like his
parents around the house.
He told the court she had left him
saying "she could not be happy with
him when his relatives We're with
him." Later she came back to him on
the plea of adjusting some property
differences and said:
do you think we could live happily
together now?"
mo" he had replied, according to
his testimony.
On hearing this Judge Hutton was
disposed to dismiss the case, but on
second thought he called the plaintiff
to the stand again and put some more
questions to him.
II don't see how I can give you a
Decree" he said. According to your
own testimony you have shown that
you do not want your wife back and
yet you charge her with desertion.
When a person is anxious to return
and there is nothing against their
character to prevent them from return
ing the charge of desertion is cured
However, l will take your case under
advisement and see how it looks"

News of the Courts
HE'S INSANE, DON'T SEND
HIM TO PRISON, IS PLEA
Cronin, with Folsom in Sight, May
Yet Escape Serving
Sentence

An innovation in the criminal regu-
lations Of the Los Angeles superior
court yesterday was that inaugurated
by Attorney Steve Sullivan, who ap-
piled for a writ of habeas corpus for
the release of William H. Cronin one
hour before the prisoner was to have
begun the trip to Folsom to serve
seven years.
Sullivan in his application for a writ
declared that Cronin for the past thirty
days has been insane and that insan-
ity is hereditary in the family. He
declares ne received belated informa-
tion that Cronin's father died insane
in Massachusetts, and that the prison.
er's sister is in an asylum in the east
at the present moment suffering from
hereditary insanity. He did not secure
this information until yesterday and
he presented it to Judge Davis just
a short time before Cronin was to have
been taken north. The deputy sheriffs
who had been detailed to take Cronin
and other prisoners north had eaten
an early meal preparatory to the trip,
but they left without Cron1n.
The application was somewhat of a
puzzle to Judge Davis in view of the
fact that Cronin was practically in the
prison warden's hands, as far as the
legal points were concerned. The argu-
ments for writ, however, were SO
convincing that he saw something
must be done to give Cronin another
hearing so that if he is insane he might
not be returned from prison to be eX-
amined later on. He consulted with
Judge Bordwell and the latter made
out a writ returnable in department II
at 10 o'clock May IL.
Before he was sentenced, Cronin had
been given a hearing for probation. HIS
emplover informed the court that he
was a good worker and he would be
glad to have him back as he had been
with him for over six years. Women
took an interest in the case and test1-
fled as to Cronin's good character. But
the act for which he was held was of
so vile a nature that Judge Davis re
fused probation.
1t is now contended that Cronin was
suffering from the insanity which
rms in his family and instead Of going
to prison he may be sent to the Pat
ton asylum.

HARRIS MAY SEE CHILD IN
PRESENCE OF OTHERS ONLY
Court Denies Application for a
Modification of Order

An application by H. Leslie Harris,
who was recently placed on five years
probation for burglary, for a modif
cation of the courts order in regard
to seeing his child, Corinne Harris,
more frequently, was turned down by
Judge James yesterday.
Harris was divorced by Gertrude N.
Harris about year ago, and the child
was placed in the care of his former
wife's parents Mr.. and Mrs. Adrian L.
Rose. by order of the court. A stipu-
lation was made that Harris was to
be allowed to visit his child at the
discretion of the custodians.
The latter opposed Harris applica-
ton yesterday on the ground that on
a recent Sunday he took the child out
to Westlake park with him, and that
he was in the company of a strange
woman. The grandparents alleged that
for several hours they were unaware
Of the whereabouts of the child and
became alarmed. On hearing this the
court refused to modify the order, and
Harris will be unable to see the child
except in the presence of the grand
parents and when they feel disposed to
allow him to call.

SEPARATED FROM HUBBY
BUT NOT FROM HIS COIN

An action against William NJ. Fitz-
patrick, a commission merchant, was
commenced in Judge Huttons court
yesterday by his wife Della ]. Fitz-
patrick, who recently secured an order
of the court for separation from him
and $35 a month for the support of her
self and three children.
She charged her husband with paying
her about $12 only since the first of the
year. He declared he had only been in
business two weeks and was earning
good money" He had no ready cash,
he declared, or he would have paid her.
He said he and two others held a third
interest each in $500 owed them by
San Francisco firm and he had fled
suit to collect the money.
Judge Hutton asked the plaintiff if it
would be satisfactory to have Fitz-
patrick's interest in the note turned
over to her, and her attorney agreed to
try to collect it. Interest in another
sum owed the husband was turned over
to the plaintiff, and a week was given
the defendant in which to place his af-
fairs in better shape and give further
explanation to the court

LYONS OUT FOR A JOB;
WANTS TO BE FORESTER

Any old kind of job that connects
somewhere with the city treasury will
suit George w. Lyons. He applied to
the park commission yesterday for the
position of city forester and he has
the Endorsement of Mayor Alexander.
The mayor told the commission that
Lyons would make a good man for the
place, but the commission wanted to
find out more about it and turned the
whole affair over to Commissioner
Silent
Lyons first was candidate for the city
council at the last general election
He lost out there. Next he was candi-
date for chief of police when Galloway
was appointed. He lost out there.
Next he was candidate for the city

couldn't establish his claim that the
News was a newspaper of general cir
culation to the satisfaction of the court
and he lost out there.

SHUT OFF JUICE SAY
CARR STREET OWNERS

Carr street between Main and Hill is
to be dark for the next year because
the property owners refuse to pay for
the .'juice" for the ornamental lamp
posts. Posts similar to those on
Broadway, Spring and other streets
have been placed on Carr street at
the expense of the property owners,
with the agreement that the city is
to pay for the current each alternate
year and the property owners the
other years. This happens to be one
of the "other" years, and a petition
bearing the signatures of 20 per cent
of the property owners on the street
was presented to the council asking
that no contract for the lighting be let.
The petitioners have a hunch that if
they will not pay for the light the city
will, but the counclmen say these
people have one more think coming.
