police department, was made cognizant
yesterday of the raid conducted Tues
day night on six houses in the old red
light district, which was made with
out consulting him, he attributed the

lice commission.
In discussing the matter in the morn
ing Captain Dixon was quoted as say
ing:
ut is an attempt to discredit me in
the eyes of the public and create a
public sentiment against me, and l
know it. l stand in the way of a po-
litical faction and they want to get me
out of the way. They want to Job me
out of my place in the department.
The houses raided Tuesday night were
closed during the time my squad was
working. They reopened when the So
called purity squad was abolished and
a new squad created in its place"

Dixon denied having made such a
statement.

Mrs. Blanche Jewell Asks $751;
600 for Alienation of
Husbands Affection
EMELIE ALTUBE DEFENDANT
Spouse Unable to Stand Lure of
Riches, Is Charged in
Complaint
EMELIE ALTUBE DEFENDANT

Charging Emelie Altube, wealthy
woman of Ocean Park, with alternating
the affections of Carl A. Jewell to such
an extent that he has abandoned her,
Mrs, Blanche Eleanor Jewell, wife of
the latter, filed suit in the superior
court yesterday against the former for
$4,000 damages.
In her complaint, Mrs. Jewell states
that she married Jewell in Los Angeles
December II, 1906, and that prior to
his meeting the defendant he had al
ways been a kind and attentive hus-
band who enjoyed passing his leisure
time in her society. He had always
provided comfortable home for her,
she claims, until he met Emelie AL
tube in Ocean Park August 1, 1909.
She charges the defendant with will
fully and maliciously planning to in
jure her by winning the affections of
her husband by wiles and enticements,
to her great shame and suffering. She
declares the defendant gave her hus-
band valuable presents of money and
other articles, of which she does not
know the exact nature to such an eX-
tent that she persuaded the husband
to feel love for the defendant.
The plaintiff declares this affection
grew to such an extent through the
wiles of the defendant that her hus-
band left her August Is of last year
and went to live with the defendant
She alleges that since that time she
has been compelled to live on the char
itY of her relatives, and for the loss
of her husband and home she asks $50,
coo damages, with $4,000 additional
punitive damages.

WOMAN ROBS VETERAN
OF PENSION SAVINGS
Drinks Until intoxicated and Then
Dragged to Sidewalk

After plying William D. Carr, 81 years
of age. a feeble veteran, with liquor
until he was in helpless cOndltlon,
woman and a male companion, who en-
ticed him into a room at 333 ToWne
avenue. robbed him of $44, his savings
of several months, then dragged nm
to the sidewalk and left him late yes
terday afternoon.
Inmates Of the rooming house dis
covered the old man attempting to
mount the steps of the place, and after
hearing his rambling story of the at
fair notified the police, and Detective
Zeigler was sent to make investiga-
tions.
1t seems that Carr, who suffered the
loss of his right eye during the civil
War. and who walks with difficulty
with the aid of heavy cane, came TO
Los Angeles yesterday morning from
the Soldiers home at Sawtelle, where
he has lived for number of years. He
had with him $45, the savings from his
meager pension. At Main and Fourth
streets he met a man with whom he
had drank on his previous visits to this
city. At Towne avenue the friend eX-
cused himself and soon appeared with
a woman about 40 years of age.
The trio then went to the rooming
house at 1888 Towne avenue and engaged
a room. A quantity Of whisky was pur-
chased and Carr was induced by the
woman to drink until he was in help
less state of intoxication. Finally Carr
fell from his chair to the floor. The
couple placed him on the bed and the
woman took $44, leaving the old man 81
for carfare back to Sawtelle.
The victim was booked at the central
police station on a charge of being
drunk, and the officers are searching
for the pair who took his money.

JEFFRIES To KEEP ON
TRAINING, He DECLARES
Jim Corbett Says the Governor oi
the State Of California
Is a Cruel Man

Rem LOMOND. June 15.-The JEFF
fries camp is in an uproar this arter-
noon because of the governors threat
to stop the big fight. When Jeffries
was informed that the governor had
instructed the attorney general to take
stems tn stop the fight he froZe up ana
refused to discuss the matter, but later
he made the following statement:
at positively refuse to believe the
story. l don't care what Is SAID or
who talked to him over the telephone'
7 simply will not believe that it is true.
7 don't know much about law, but my
understanding is that we are within
the law and protected by it. All the
articles of agreement signed by john
son and myself were the same as has
been signed for every fight fought IN
California. Gillett once said that he
could not stop the fight, so how is he
going to do it? l will continue WIN
nv training until l am informed py
the promoters that the affair cannon
come off"
This was the extent of the former
champions discussion of the news
When the news was broken to him as
he rested on the porch of his cottage ne
was visibly shocked at first, aftel
which he became SO taciturn that II
was impossible to get a word out OF
him. Mrs. Jeffries, who was with him.
turned pale when she heard the report
Jim Corbett was thunderstruck, Dul
when he heard that the governor hao
personally vouched for the story over
the long distance telephone he said:
"I guess it's true, all right, but it is
mighty hard to believe. You must ad'
nit that Gillett does not seem to be the
sort of a man who would let the pro-
moters go to all the expense they have
and then throw them down. Then lool
at us fellows who Travelled all the way
across the continent, spending our time
and money. 1t seems more like cru
city to me than justice"
JeffrieS seemed the least perturbe(
man in camp as the result of the lat
est crash in the plans for the fight
The entire camp following, including
friends and trainers, stood around II
little groups discussing what they con
sidered a calamity of the first magni
tude. None of them can understand
it after the governor permitting tn,
arrangements to proceed so far. 1t /:

FIGHT CAN TAKE PLACE
IN NEVADA, 1T IS SAID

CARSON CITY, June 15.-The ques-
tion of holding the Jeffries-Johnson
prize fight in Nevada was submitted
to the acting attorney general and to
Justice Sweeney of the supreme court
today Governor Dickerson is absent
from Nevada, while Acting Governor
Pine is in Goldfield. Justice Sweeney
says the law of Nevada allows the
holding of prize fights in the state,
providing q license fee Of $1,000 is de-
posted with the county officials where
the fight takes place. A fight may
take place in any county in Nevada,
according to Justice Sweeney, without
interference either by county or state
officials.
The law governing such contests was
passed for the benefit of the promoters
of the orbett-Fitzsimmons fight and
has not been altered. There is no linn
itation as to the number of rounds,
Nothing smaller than four ounce gloves
may be used, and the fight may not
be held Sunday.

STOP WORK ON ARENA
Work on the arena has been pro-
crossing rapidly since it was started
two weeks ago and considerable
showing has been made. Work was or
dered suspended temporarily When the
action of the governor became known,
but the promoters did not say whether
they would extend this order pending
a court decision or not
The legal proceedings, it is believed,
will make no difference at the fighters
camps. 1t is thought probable they will
go on with their training as though
nothing has happened; but the whole
matter is in such a disturbed and un-
settled state tonight that it is hard to
predict what the next moves of any
of the interested parties will be.
District Attorney Fickert mention OF
whom is made by the governor, dis
played some bitterness when asked for
a statement. He said the state execu-
tive had needed the "clamor of the
mob" and made satirical references tc
political capital"
However" he concluded, 1T still be-
1ieve the fight will be held here, as the
courts are more powerful than the
governor"
Seeking a reason for the action ot
Governor Gillett, following as it does
his own repeated declarations that he
did not believe the fight could be pre-
vented and did not propose to begin g
useless opposition, many think thai
pressure was brought to bear on hin
from Washington; that the states rep
resentatives at the national capital
have informed him that the holding
of the fight was standing in the way
of San Francisco's effort to secure ma
tional legislation in favor Of the Pan
ama-Pacific exposition.
FIGHTING IN STATE DOOMED
This belief is strengthened by a mes
sage received from Washington by
President Wheeler of the San Fran
cisco Traffic association, in which
such a condition is said to exist at the
capital. The message was sent by
Representative Bennett of New York
ten days ago, but was not made public
until today.
AS a conclusion arrived at today
after much discussion, the sporting fra
ternity in general seems to feel tha
the days of the pugilistic game in Cal
ifornia are over and that even though
the Jeffries- johnson fight may be car
ried through here, the next session o
the legislature will be forced to go OF
record as prohibiting bouts of more
than few rounds.
The governor said his action was no
influenced by the telegram to Presi
dent Wheeler of the chamber of com
merce from Representative Bennett
saying the fight would interfere witt
San Francisco's chance Of getting the
worlds fair permit from congress.
