JUDGE TO WHOM WOMAN
OBJECTS HEARS HER CASE
Divorce Defendant Faces JuriSt
She Sought to Avoid

The third divorce proceeding in the
case of Howard S. Reed, a rich invalid
rancher of Ell Centre, Imperial county,
and his wife, Lillian NJ. Reed, was
given a partial hearing yesterday be-
fore Judge Cole of Imperial county, sit
ting in Judge Davis department of
the Los Angeles county superior court
Practically it was the Imperial coun-
ty court sitting, despite its location.
Mrs. Reed having asked change OF
venue and so the case was heard mere
though the decision will be rendered IN
Imperial as coming from this venue.
Mrs. Reed filed the first two actions
for divorce, but withdrew them before
they could be brought to trial. The
present action is brought by her nus"
band, who charges cruelty.
At the Wife's request the change OF
venue was granted, though she was
not also accorded a change of judges
as she desired. She declared that Judge
Cole was disqualified from hearing the
action as he had made allegations
against her in letter he addressed to
her attorney, E. B. Drake, the phrase
"having learned the identity of your
client" being one to which she OBJ
jected.
Mrs. Reed was not in court yester-
day, being presumably at Ocean Park
where she has passed the last several
weeks, but Mr.. Reed was in constant
attendance

NEWS OF THE COURTS
SPELLACY ON STAND
TELLS OF DIVIDENDS
Oil Magnate Says He Paid Young
His Share with His Per-
SonaI Checks

T. Spellacy was on the Witness stand
nearly all of yesterday in the trial Of
the suit for damages of S500000 and a
just share of oil stock valued at more
than $2,000,000, brought against him by
c. S. Young, who alleges that he for
merly was partner of the defendant.
Spellacy told of sales of stock in
various parts of the country, and was
not certain about the regularity with
which he had notified Young of such
transactions.
Spellacy admitted that he had kept
in his own name on the books of the
company stock in the Illinois Crude Oil
company that Young alleges is rightly
his, but asserted that he always had
paid over to the plaintiff the dividends
due him. In answer to a question by
Judge Monroe, who is hearing the ac-
ton, Spellacy admitted that the pay
ments to Young had been by his per-
sonal check and not by that of the
company.
Another assertion of Spellacy's was
that in the case of the stock of the
Mascot Oil company he had paid
Young's stock assessments, but never
had given him any dividends.
Most of the evidence in the case,
which Young brought on the ground
that Spellacy invested his money and
did not make proper return even after
repeated demands, is documentary and
consequently dry. Legal and CONNER
cial technicalities enter largely Into 1t.

COURT LIMITS EXPENSES
OF MORTGAGE & TRUST co.
Restraining Order Modified at Re-
quest of Attorneys

A modified restraining order was is
sued yesterday by Judge Bordwell OF
the superior court, in the case of u
S. Webb, attorney general of Califor-
mia. against the Los Angeles Savings,
Mortgage and Trust company. whose
business was alleged to be unsafe.
This followed lengthy arguments by
attorneys, at the conclusion OF which
the judge adjusted the order, which
is to remain in effect until a fuller
hearing of the matter is had in october,
at a date yet to be fixed.
Instead of being completely barred
from transacting busines, the company
may continue to do so, the principal
restraint upon it being in the matter
of expenses for the conduct of its
business, the monthly payroll being
limited to $500, although Bradner w.
Lee, the companys attorney, made
hard fight for 5000 more.
Stockholders to the number of eighty
entered q complaint in intervenor, de-
string to become joint defendants with
the trust company, but on that point
the Judge has reserved his decision.
Prominent persons holding large
blocks of the company's stock who
would help in the fight against the at
torney general include r. w. Clark,
who owns 5000 shares; Mrs. Ellen L.
Brown, 5000 shares; W. E. Burkhart,
25OO shares; c. r. Ames, director, 1OO,-
900 shares; w. B. Ames, president 58,-
900 shares; H. E. Harris, 5000 shares,
and c. A. Neil 7475 shares.
The assertion was made that the
concern is absolutely solvent despite
all assertions to the contrary, can pay
dollar for dollar on all money in
vested with 1t and has assets of $3.50, 1000.

DR.. WILLS WANTS TO
REOPEN WILL CASE
Brother Declares He Has 9New
Evidence to Introduce

A motion to reopen the Wills will
contest, which recently was decided in
favor Of Miss Madeline Frances Wills
against her brother, DR.. w. lie Moyne
Wills, was filed yesterday in Judge
Wilbur's department of the superior
court Argument upon the motion will
be heard this morning.
After a long contest in the courts
Judge Wilbur last week rendered de-
cision by which the sister was to have
control of the 100000 estate left by
their mother and that the brother
should continue TO receive his monthly
allowance of $1OO as provided by his
parent and to have stock in the Siml
Land and Water company when he re-
imbursed his sister for assessments
on it.
DIR. Wills maintained that the estate
of his mother was left to her by his
father with the proviso that she should
care for the children. The mother dis
posed of most Of the estate to the
daughter before she died, only about
$4,000 worth of household appurten-
ances being left at death. He sued
for q half Of the estate.
The reason for asking the reopening
of the case is that more testimony in
the brothers interest now can be of
fered.

Mrs. Charles ]. Huber Explains
Domestic Incidents at
Divorce Hearing

That her husband, Charles ]. Huber,
threatened to slap her face because she
could not swim and did not want TO
try, while he is an expert in aquatic
snorts. was part of the testimony of
fered Yesterday in Judge Hutton's de-
partment of the superior court, where
Lillian ]. Huber's action for a divorce
was reopened.
Mrs. Huber is seeking divorce on
the ground of cruelty, the specltlc
charge being habitual drunkenness. A
decree was denied her Wednesday on
that ground, because the intoXlcatlon
had not been continuous for a year,
though Judge Hutton remarked that
he would like to grant the dlNorce
if it could he done according to law.
When the case was reopened yester-
dav several of her relatives, including
her father and mother, took the stand
and told of Huber's alleged escapades,
which included, they said, threats TO
kill his wife's father and to commit
suicide. .,
The case probably will be resumed
today, the further continuance being
granted because of the desire to nave
Huber in court to testify, If possible
Huber a few months ago disappeared
and until it was learned that his ac-
counts at the H. o. Harrison Auto
mobile company where he was en-

WOMEN SUFFER MOST FOR
CRIMES, DECLARES JUDGE
Man Who Passed a Worthless
Check Denied Probation

That wives, mothers and sisters or
criminals suffer more than the perpe-
traitors of the crimes was the assertion
made yesterday by Judge Willis of the
superior court, when he denied the ap-
plication of James T. McDaniels for
probation and sentenced him TO serve
three years in the penitentiary at Fol-
som.
'You have a wife, you say" re-
marked the court, land expect to gam
probation because of that. Well, every
criminal has a wife, or mother or a
sister or some woman relative of whom
he thinks too late. 1t is the woman
who pays the greater penalty when
man she loves is sent to the penlten-
tiary.

I could, but there are altogether too
many crimes of the same nature as
yours. More than half Of the cases in

that with every bottle Of his new
discovery, the price of which is

ment to pay you five dollars If
you are not entirely satisfied with
the result which is invariably a
new head of healthy, vigorous
hair. The new discovery is not

remarkable offer ever made by a

ANOTHER WONDERFUL DISCOVERY.

Electricity, telephones, airships
and all the wonderful inventions
of this scientific age seemed i'm
possible a few years ago. But it
seems there is nothing 80 inn
possible but what some scientist
will discover the means OF accom-
plishment. Prof. Emerson has now
discovered preparation which
will really grow hair. Iowa peo-
pie are amazed and astounded ,oy
Emerson's new discovery for the
hair. Emerson said that one bot
tie of his new discovery would
grow full head of hair and re-
store gray or faded hair to it's
natural color. The people did
not believe him. 1t was too much
to expect and too good to be true.
They had tried all the highly adj
vertised hair restorers and had
always been disappointed and they
could not believe one bottle would
really grow full head of hair.
But now comes the most startling
part of all-for Emerson proved
it - yes, absolutely proved it.
What do you think he did? He
made the bold and remarkable
statement that he would give five
dollars to any person who used
one bottle OF his new discovery
and failed to secure a new and
satisfactory growth of hair. The
people were astounded by the un-
heard of offer, but they knew that
he was financially responsible and
would do as he agreed if it cost
him his fortune. Thousands
