Her Duke Missing.


Duke had not shown up. He had left
the minister waiting at the church. and
indications also seemed TO point to the
fast that the bride-to-be had some doubt
IN her own MIND as TO just what had be-
come Of her Duke.
One story is that Mr. Duke sent around

wedding was called of, but this could
not be confirmed. Dr. Macleod indicated,
however, that Mr. Duke would have met
with a disappointment II he had shown
up at the parsonage and explained in

record
DR.. Macleod declared last night that
under no circumstances would he have

his reasons for this change of mind. he
said that he would not feel at liberty 10

DAMAGING TESTIMONY IS
GIVEN AGAINST SKINNER
Witnesses Declare Accused Sc
cured Their Lands by Imper-
sonating Govt. Official

Considerable progress was made yesterday
in the trial OF seget e. Skinner. who Is fac
ing jury in Judge Wellborns department
of the United States district court, charged
with falsely representing himself to be q
United States land officer and obtaining land
through false representations.
Twenty-eight witnesses took the stand, the
gist of their testimony being that Skinner
had secured their relinquishments to govern
ment land by representing that he was an
employe Of the United States land office.
Among the prominent witnesses to testify
was John H. Pearman, manager OF the towns
department OF the Union Pacific and Chicago
& Northwestern railroads. who stated that he
had signed over his land claim to Skinner
when the latter told him that he represented
the government and II he did not sign the
REIMBURSEMENT would prove that the land was
obtained fraudulently. Not wishing to have
any trouble over what he supposed
irregularity in filing the claim, Mr.. Pearman
acceded to the defendants request and re-
ceived $50 for relinquishing all claim to the
land He believed that tho money came from
the government, but later secured informa-
tion showing that Skinner had not been au-
thorized by the government to act in any off,
cial capacity.
United States Attorney Mccormick and his
assistant attorney, @. Ray Horton. are con-
Quoting the case for the government and will
place a large number of witnesses on the
stand today

SAN PEDRO FORT SITE
APPROVED BY ATTY. CEN.
War Department Will Ask for $3,-
100000 Appropriation
at Next Session

According to telegraphic information
received from Washington yesterday,
the attorney general of the United
States placed his approval on the alb
stract of title for the fortification site
overlooking San Pedro bay. When ad-
ditional papers are filed, the deal can
then be closed between the govern
ment and w. G. Kerckhoff and H.
Peck, owners of 100 acres near Point
Firmin, which experts have agreed
will make an admirable site for the
erection of fortifications.
The government officials entered into
a contract to purchase the land last
January, but many details had to be
attended to before the government
would close the contract. The tract
was laid out in lots and streets and
had to be vacated by the board of
supervisors in order that the land
would meet the government require
ments, The government wished the
land vacated, for ii would have been
impossible to erect fort on land hav-
ing a lot of public streets through it
to which the government would have
no title.
The United States district attorney
passed on the abstract several months
ago, and then the papers were sent on
to the capital at Washington. When
the necessary papers are filed, the pur-
chase price, amounting to $249, 400, will
be turned over to the owners. Work
on the fortifications will not be COM
menced until after the next session of
congress, at which time the war de-
partment will ask that $3,000,0OO be
appropriated for the work.
The Los Angeles fortifications will
be the finest on the Pacific coast and
will be another addition to the ever
growing number of interesting places
in Southern California.

GIRL AUTOIST WRECKS
CAR AND AVERTS CRASH
Runs Machine Into Sidewalk
Preventing Serious Smashup
by Presence of Mind

Presence Of mind and quick manipu-
lation of the steering apparatus of a
big touring car by Lucille Gillette, aged
16, averted serious collision in Ches-
ter place, near st. James park, last
evening between two cars. She steered
her machine onto the sidewalk, wreck
ing it against a stone fence column,
just as another auto, containing four
people, sped by at high rate of speed.
If the young woman had not steered
on the sidewalk the occupants of both
autos would have been hurled from
their seats and possibly seriously in
jured, for the auto containing the four
people was headed straight for the ma
chine in which was seated Lucille, her
younger sister Edith and the chauf-
feur.
The Gillette sisters started out for
an evening ride and as Miss Lucille
wished to handle the steering wheel,
she exchanged seats with the chauf-
feur. While traversing Chester place
the other machine swung round a cor
ner. The driver, seeing the danger
Of collision, seemed unable to put
on the brakes. Pedestrians looked on
in fear. as the cars seemed about to
crash.
1t was at this juncture that Lucille
proved herself a heroine. Realizing
that if the cars collided her sister and
the occupants of the other machine
might be killed or seriously injured,
she steered the big touring car against
the stone column. The occupants es-
capped injury.
The other autoists stopped their car
and returned to where the Gillette
machine had stopped. The front of
the car was badly damaged.

COLD HUNTER, LONG COVE,
RETURNS; CAN 'TF|NDW|FE
Mrs. Schmidt, EIated at News of
Husband, Again on tie
Anxious Seat

Mrs. Emma Schmidt, 522 West Temple street,
who has been worrying for three months be-
cause she believed her husband dead or lost
in some deserted section of Alaska was
elated last Sunday to hear that he had come
to Los Angeles to surprise her, possibly with
a sack full of gold nuggets. The husband
not having found her since his arrival, MIS-
Schmidt is again distracted by the fear Re mas
given her up as dead and left the city,
Mr.. and Mrs Schmidt came to Los Angeles
four years ago. Last June Mr. Schmidt de-
cided to try his luck a gold hunter in the
far northand Until three months ago he had
a hard time and Mrs. Schmidt was compelled
to send him money out of her earnings as
laundress Then communication from him
stopped suddenly.
Mrs. Schmidt formerly worked at 1878 Be-
rendo street. from which place she wrote to
her husband Last Sunday she telephoned
to that address to learn whether there was
any mail there from him. She was told that
he. himself had been there inquiring for her.
The former employers did not know her pres
ent address, so they could give the husband
no information as to the whereabouts of his
wife.
The indications are that the gold hunter went
into some forsaken field about three months
ago and struck it rich. Otherwise, Mrs.
Schmidt says, he would not have had money
enough to come to Los Angeles.

NURSE IS SHOCKED, BUT
POLICE DOCTOR SUFFERS
Surgeon Zerfing in Line of Least
Resistance When Light
Shade Falls

A stihed scream, a dull thud and
when conditions became normal Police
Surgeon Zerfing emerged from the fray
with large confusion on his head and
an unholy desire to lay his hands on
the person who installed the electric
light fixtures in the receiving hospital.
He will nurse the lump on his head
for several days, but his temper may
become normal in less time.
The accident happened to Doctor
Zerfing while he was stitching slight
laceration on the head of a "drunk"
in the receiving hospital last night. He
was bending over the patient and Miss
L. Beatty, one of the nurses, was hold
ing an electric light equipped with
heavy shade.
The fair nurse became greatly in
terested in the antics of the patient,
who strenuously objected to having. his
skin punctured with a needle, and al
lowed her hand to rest on the brass
part of the light. No one there noticed
it and as a result did not tell her to
take her hand away. She did it of her
own volition and with a suddenness
and a Shrek that caused the inebriate
to believe he was "having them"
Miss Beatty was not particular where
she QrOppSQ Tic llShl eiilu vas AiOb e@I
all careful where she placed it. Doctor
Zerfing's head was in the path of the
line of least resistance and the heavy
metal shade landed on his head with
a force that almost floored the chief
of the receiving hospital. The object
struck a spot where the hair is thin
and a bump, not on the list of the
phrenologist's association, resulted.
the eminent surgeon muttered some
thing that counded like darn It," then
quickly apologized to Miss Beatty, who
was greatly embarrassed because of
her inability to withstand a slight
electric shock.
The incident placed the drunk" in
a happy mood and he chuckled glee-
fully while his wound was being
dressed. The patient mentioned some
thing about a bump of wisdom and
Doctor Zerfing, after finishing the
operation, placed his hat with much
care at a rakish angle on his head
and left the hospital.
Doctor Zerfing will probably see to
it that aluminium shades are substi-
tuted for the heavy ones now in use.

MUST SUE To GET
AQJEDUCT MONEY
New York Syndicate Refuses to
Make Bi-MonthIy Pay
ment of $4,000
DECLARES OBLIGATION MET
City Attorney Maintains the Bond
Buyers Cannot Evade Pro-
visions of Contract

Apparently the city will have to sue
to compel the syndicates which bought
the aqueduct bonds to make the BIZ,
monthly payment of $816,900 due July
81. City Clerk Lelande received a tele-
gram yesterday in reply to the demand
telegraphed to New York Monday. In
it the bond firms, in effect, refused to
make the payment, holding that pur-
chases of bonds already made relieve
them of the obligation Of making the
bi-monthly payment required by the
contract. Their telegram follows:
Telegram received. Don't under
stand your telegram, inasmuch as
syndicate has already taken SILL
1922 900 bonds, anticipating all op-
tions to Oct. 1, 1910, and 100000 of
the Dec, 1910, options. Hence you
see the $4,000 referred to in your
telegram have all been accepted
and paid for.
KOUNTZE BROS. and
A. B. LEACH & CO.
City Attorney Hewitt would not
state yesterday what action, if any,
will be taken by the city following the
reply of the bond buyers. In view of
the fact that he advised the council
that the bond firms could be held to
their contract agreement to pay $816,-
900 bi-monthly, despite the further fact
that they had made excess payments,
it is probable that an effort will be
made to compel payment.
1t is admitted that the city has re-
ceived $3,2000O0 more from the sale of
the bonds to date than would have
been received had the syndicates mere
ly complied with the terms of their
contract with the city. But they elect
ed to make these excess payments, it
is asserted, and cannot now, according
to the city attorney, evade the pro-
visions of the contract because of this
fact. He believes they are legally
bound to pay to the city July 81 the
sum of $4,000.
The matter is of great Importance to
the city because, if the payment is
made the aqueduct work can be con-
tinued on a scale that will mean the
completion of the project at the earlier
date fixed when money was plentiful
If the city fails to get the money, the
project will be delayed and its COM
pletion will approximate the date fixed
when the project was first undertaken.
The complication which has devel-
oped is due to the fact that the speed
made in building the aqueduct has
surpassed all expectations. Records
have been smashed in driving tunnels
and remarkable progress has marked
the work. The city authorities hope
to make some arrangement whereby
that advantage gained by the rapid
progress made to date will not he
lost.

To TRY HABEAS CORPUS
To RELEASE WOODBURY.
Man Charged with Passing Bad
Check Held to Answer to
Superior Court

Following his preliminary hearing
before Police Judge Frederickson yes
terday afternoon on a charge of passing
fictitious checks, James A. woodbury.,
who is believed by the detectives to be
]. E. MARCEL, who is wanted in Kan
sas City on a charge of defrauding a
number of merchants there of $4,000,
court in cash bail of $4,000. He was
unable to furnish that amount.
Woodbury's defense to the charge
which is preferred against him by the
Whitley Jewelry company, which
charges him with passing a worthless
check on it for 1898, is that he was a
bona fide depositor of the Hollywood
National bank at the time he cashed
the check.
G. G. Greenwood, cashier of the bank,
admitted that woodbury. deposited two
checks aggregating $4,000 with the bank
on May 2S, for collection, which were
counted as cash deposits. He had a
cash balance of $11S4 on April 4, ac-
cording to the cashiers testimony, and
the daily cash accounts introduced in
evidence by the defense.
Stylishly dressed in a tailor-made
suit and wearing a large picture hat,
Mrs. Woodbury. sat in one corner of
the court room where she could see her
husband, and seemed an interested
spectator to the proceedings.
After the hearing Mrs. Woodbury.
rushed to the prisoners dock, where
her husband was seated, and threw her
arms about him. They talked in a sub
dued tone for almost five minutes be-
fore he was led away to the tanks in
the city Jail. He was taken to the
county jail late in the afternoon, where
he will be held until his trial in the
superior court.
Attorney Earl Rogers, who is retained
as his counsel, stated following the
hearing that he will begin habeas cor
pus proceedings for the release of his
client this morning

Palmer Purchase of o55 Acres
for $250,000 Opens Posi-
bilitieS in Santa Barbara

Papers were signed at San Francisco FRI
day for the sale by the Central Trust COM
pany of 955 acres of land in northern Santa
Barbara county to Frank L. Brown, president
of the Palmer Oil company, and associates
for $25O'OoO The land lies at the mouth CT
Cat canyon, the new oil district, in which the
Palmer property Is located.
The land has been held by the Central
Trust company for ten years. 1t was orig
inally taken over for $24 900. AT that time it
was regarded merely agricultural land
The advance of the oil belt, however, has
increased values in this region. The wells
of the West and New Pennsylvania companies
are only one mile distant from the property
and new concerns are drilling in the imme-
diate vicinity.
1t is understood the acreage will be incor-
porated in new oil company.
