LESSON FROM EGYPT.

We consider pertinent suggestion to American
practice concerning criminals
Wardani, il will be remembered, was the
fanatic Egyptian who shot 10 death Boutros
Pasha, Prime Minister the man whose crime
furnished the text for the sensational speech of
Colonel Roosevelt at Cairo and likewise, in all
probability, the inspiration Of the Colonels Guild
hall address, in which he counsellcd England to
take the scruf Of Egvpts neck in a vise-like grip,
or else get ont Of Egypt
In view Of the fact that the ease of Wardani
eptomizcd and gave form to a growing spirit
Of revolt against the Suzcrain power. it is sat

shot him. after far trial. and regardless either
of the counsel of taking revenge expressed by
Roosevelt or Of the counsel of weak -knecd con
cliatiGn Of rebellion adopted be certain states
men OF pale couplextncd hvers.
So much for the Wardan case as it refers TO
Englands Egyptian policy, as attempted to be
mnddled by the Colonel The American lesson
in the Wardani case touches different matter
not related to foreign policies but closely inter
woven with everyday life and experiences the
attitude of government toward individuals who
only be expressed in murder In the Wardani
ease the culprit was the subject of nation over
which England, while exerting practical con
troll, does not vet technically govern. As con
sequence the murder was first of all followed by
his arrest and trial by British authority lie
was convicted and condemned 10 death Then,
making the bow toward courtesy and sentiment,
England gravcly submitted the case the evidence,
and the record of the proceedings to the Grand
Mutt, the supreme representative of Moham-
medan law in Egypt. Under such a proceed
ing Wardani had the fullest opportunity to sub
nit his every plea. He had free chance to run
through any brain storm mental alteration,
desert madness. color rcjudices political
dcmentia that he had in stock. He could even
appeal to religion and put in claim of Divine
warrant for his action. That he did so, while
England stood by and waited is evident from the
decision at which the Grand Mutt arrived, and
in which he concluded that the death sentence
should not be enforced. For the Grand Mlft
is quoted as deciding:

band declares that he has simply been

water to her room in the morning so
that she might wash herself and get
up after he had done all the Chores

property from him Of the value Of

CHAMBERS DIVORCE
DECREE SET ASIDE
DECISION OF JUDGE H0USER IS
OVERRULED
Was Practiced and Case Must
Be Retired on Its
Merits

Judge Walter Bordwell Of the SUI
perior court yesterday rendered a de-
cision setting aside the divorce decree
given DR.. W. J. Chambers against his
wife, Kathryn II. Chambers. over a
month ago by Judge Houser of the
divorce court. He declared the decree
had been granted following collision
between the parties when no state of
facts warranted a divorce, and he or
dered the clerk to make an order set
ting the case down regularly for a
hearing hereafter on application of the
plaintiff.
1.-The facts alleged in the complaint
as ground for divorce are not true" de-
clares Judge Bordwell in his decision.
Whatever acquiescence there may
have been on the part of the defendant
Mrs Chambers) in emitting to defend
this action, or in making statements
in her deposition tending to support the
allegations of the complaint, is the re-
suit Of persistent efforts and impor-
tunities on the part of the plaintiff,
coupled with reasonably liberal prop
erty settlement. If all the coercive
features were eliminated IT would be in
no more favorable light, as it would
then appear there had been an agree
ment between the parties to obtain a
divorce, when acts constituting a cause
had not been committed"
Judge Bordwell referred to two other
divorces obtained by DR.. Chambers, in
which the doctor has forgotten the
grounds of the first. In the second
desertion was alleged, and the judge
cites this as showing a disposition or a
habit on the part of the plaintiff to
sever the family relation-that he re-
CARDS that relation lightly and shows
no compunction about destroying it.
Referring to the fact that Mrs. Cham
bers in her deposition maintained an
absolute silence in answer to a number
of questions in which she evidently
feared to perjure herself, Judge Bord-
well declared the incident showed that
a rule or statute requiring the presence
OF the defendant in all divorce cases
would be of value.
Were it legally practicable" he said,
Ito promulgate and enforce such a rule,
it would be of decided advantage to the
courts in hearing and disposing of
divorce cases"

FORMER CONDUCTOR GIVEN
DAMAGES AGAINST COMPANY
Jury Awards P. J. o'Bryan $4,000 for
Injuries Sustained While Work.
Ing for L. A. Railway

Five thousand dollars damages was
awarded J. P. O'Bryan yesterday by a
jury in Judge Bordwell's court in the
formers suit against the Los Angeles
Railway company for $4,000 damages
The jury was out about half an hour
O'Bryan sued the company on the
ground that it had violated the law in
failing to provide a place Of safety for
him to work while he was conductor
for the company in 1908. He alleged
that he had been permanently injured
by having a trilley pole fall with such
force on his head that he sustained a
fracture of the base of the brain, which
caused the loss of hearing in one ear
and subjected him to strokes of
paralysis.
The trial of the suit had lasted for
nearly five days and the trolley pole
which struck O'Bryan on the head was
introduced as evidence. 1t was shown
that a couple of loose bolts had allowed
the pole to drop when the conductor
pulled on a guy rope. and on this fea-
ture of the accident the jury found a
verdict for damages.

INSPECTORS FOR
CENSUS NEEDED
SUPERVISOR DECLARES HIS
STAFF is INSUFFICIENT
Chamber of Commerce Urges on Au-
tnorites Necessity for Making
Count in Los Angeles
County Complete

Bert L. Farmer, supervisor of the
census for the Los Angeles DISTRICT
yesterday notified the chamber OF com
merce that he regarded the number or
inspectors appointed by the govern
ment for the supervision of the emu
merators in this county as insuHlcleht
to assure a full and complete canvass,
and suggested that the chamber take
steps to have a greater numbe ap-
pointed.
To this end the board of directors
of the chamber passed the following
resolution:
Whereas, the chamber Of commerce
has been notified by Mr.. Bert Farmer,
supervisor of the federal census for
this district. that sufficient funds have
not been provided by the government
to enable him to employ as many in
spectors as seems to be necessary to
properly supervise the enumeration OF
the inhabitants of this city and ad-
jacent territory, and
Whereas, said supervisor OF the
census has requested the assistance or
the chamber Of commerce in placing
the matter before the city council or
Los Angeles and the board of super
yisors of Los Angeles county, with
the object of obtaining from them an
appropriation for this purpose. There
fore be it
Resolved, that the Los Angeles
chamber of commerce, realizing that
this is a matter of vital Importance
to the city and county respectfully
urges the city council as we'll as the
board of supervisors to appropriate
sufficient funds for the purpose as
suggested by the supervisor of census
Mr.. Farmer said yesterday: THE
funds appropriated only permit the
employment of eight inspectors which
I do not regard as more than enough
to supervise the work in the city. At
least twenty-five more men should be
employed, necessitating an expenditure
of about $500.
"The figures obtained by the first
canvass must be forwarded immedi-
ately to Washington, regardless of
how many oversights become apparent
Immediately afterward, so that it is
Of the utmost importance to the work
of the chamber that the work be cor
rectly done in the first place"

WEEPlNGLY ADMITS
ROBBING BENEFACTOR
PLEADS GUILTY TO THEFTS
FROM CLERGYMAN
Secretary of Pastor BIames Liquor for
His Downfall and Is Released
Under a Suspended
Sentence.

Weeping bitterly and having the
penitent appearance of a person sorry
for his misdeeds, Norman A. Wyeth,
&c years old, who stole from the min
lister who befrended him, appeared In
Police Judge Williams court yesterday
morning and pleaded guilty to stealing
a quantity of stamps and stamped en-
/ Velopes from Rev. Charles L. Mur-
ply, Jr., rector of st. Athanaslus
I Episcopal church, by whom he was en-
| ployed as secretary.
Wyeth, it seems, appeared at the
home of Rev. Mr.. Murphy at AIS Gus
ter street, and representing hlmselt TO
be the son of dead Episcopal minis
ter and in financial Distress asked for
assistance. Mr.. Murphy gave the
young man food and shelter and then
a position as secretary. Later watch
belonging to the clergyman was stolen
by Wyeth, but was recovered. Again
the watch was taken and again re-
stored to the owner. Each time the or
fender was forgiven. Then quantity
of stationery was purchased and used
by Wyeth and the bill was sent to the
rector. This time the rector requested
the young man to seek other quarters
and paid for the offenders room in an
other part of the city. Mr.. Murphy
did not discharge the young man, but
allowed him to continue as his secre-
tary When the stamps and envelopes
valued at 81 We're taken and disposed
of for SO the rector decided the best
plan would be to have the young man
arrested. He informed the police and
Wyeth was taken in custody.
Wyeth admitted in court yesterday
that he stole the articles, but declared
the time and did not know what he
was doing. He promised to tread the
path of sobriety and to behave himself
and was released by Police Judge Will
liams under a suspended sentence of
1870 days in Jail.

Proprietor of Shooting Gallery at

Annoys with Attentions

An application for an injunction pre-

with her was filed in the superior court
yesterday afternoon by Mrs. Alice L..
McDivitt of Ocean Park against Frank
2. McDivitt She also asks for per-
manent support and maintenance as
we'll as separation from her husband.
In her complaint she states her hus-
band Is strongly addicted to liquor and
that he uses coarse and violent lam
guage toward her; that he also
threatens her with bodily harm. Tired
of living with him, she started a shoot
ing gallery in Ocean Park and alleges
that he got under the influence of
liquor and annoyed her to such an ex-
tent that she was forced to shut up
shop. Now she asks that he be COM
PEELED to maintain her, and that a writ
OF injunction be issued to prevent him
or any person he may send from an
noying her in future.

divorce on the ground of desertion and
non-suppOrt.
The plaintiff, who wanted to be
separated from her husband, Newton
Majors, on the ground that he deserted
her, insisted on the stand that she
would have nothing to do with him.
Believing that a man who was COM
PEELED to keep away from his wife by
her own endeavors could not very well
be sued for desertion and failure to
provide, Judge Conrey refused to hear
any further evidence in the case, which
had been transferred from the divorce
court, and he refused the plaintiff a
verdict.
