MUST TELL TRUTH
TO WIN PROBATION
Judge Willis Insists on Learning from
PearIin Brothers Facts of
Diamond Deal with J.
Rosenkranz

In the application of Sam and Simon
Pearlin for probation after they had
been found guilty by jury of obtain
ing money under false pretenses, Judge
Willis of the criminal court declared
that unless the prisoners would go on
the stand and tell the truth regarding
their dealings with j. Rosenkranz, who
charged them with keeping two dia-
monds valued at $3.50, he would not
even listen to an application for pro-
baton.
According to the testimony of the
prosecution, the Pearlin brothers. af-
ter having been given the diamonds to
sell, left for Connecticut to reside, and
failed to return either the money value
or the diamonds. On the stand they
denied the allegations of Rosenkranz
vigorously. but the jury found ITEM
both guilty on Monday.
Sentence was to have been pro-
nounced on them yesterday morning,
but their attorney, Col, Johnson, an
nounced that he had filed an applica-
tion for probation with Capt. Dodds,
probation officer. Judge Willis in
formed him that the application must
first be presented to the court and
then addressed himself to the Pearlin
brothers He frankly told them that
they musR be prepared to take the
stand and tell the truth of the deal in
all it's Details. or an application for
probation would not be heard. Judge
Willis said they evidently told the
same story to their attorney that they
had told on the stand.

LIMITS HEIGHT
OF BILLBOARDS
Council Passes ReguIative. Ordinance
Finding Adjustment Was Impos-
sIble-Preslden Works Fa-
Vors Stronger Measure

BY limiting the height of billboards
and fences to six feet from the ground
the city council hopes to put some of
them out of business altogether and to
abolish the most Objectionable feat
ures of others. An ordinance fixing
six feet as the height of billboards and
fences was introduced into the coun-
Gil yesterday by the building commit
tee and was referred to the legislative
committee.
There are one or two features that
President Works believes should be in
the ordinance that do not appear. One
objection the president finds to the or
dinance is that it does not provide that
the bottoms of the billboards be raised
from the ground so there will be plenty
of room to see under them. Planted
fiat on the ground, billboards afford
protection for those who wish to hide
behind them. He believes also there
should be a provision keeping them
stipulated distance from a residence.
The billboard ordinance has been un-
der consideration for several weeks by
the committee, and it is Councilman
Betkouskis pet measure. The council
would like to abolish them altogether,
as a nuisance, but the city attorney has
found this cannot be done legally and
that strict regulation is the only way
they can be controlled.

CALLS HUSBAND
"BIG BLUFFER"
MRS. MONTGOMERY SAYS SHE
PAID ALL BILLS
Divorce Refused Sobbing Plaintiff on
Grounds She Has Not Been
in Los Angeles Suffi-
cient Period

Elsie D. Montgomery, wife of jack
Montgomery, whom she describes as a
"big buffer" whose living and clothes
were provided for a number of years
by her, was refused a divorce by Judge
Houser in the divorce court yesterday
afternoon a few minutes after he had
granted a divorce to Mrs. Ruth Eng
strom.
Mrs. Montgomery, a petite and at
tractively dressed woman, wearing a
huge picture hat, declared on the stand
that in four years her husband had
given her $25 and once paid her fare
to Seattle. On the other hand it had
cost her from $4,000 to $4,000 to provide
for him and herself, the money coming
from her own estate, which is of con-
siderable proportion.
When asked her husbands occupa-
ton Mrs. Montgomery, in dsgusted
tones, said "He did nothing but bluff
He might have been anything for all l
know. / know he bluffed me-"
Following a refusal of decree, on
the ground that she had not resided in
Los Angeles long enough, Mrs. Mont
gomery burst into tears.
II will go to Nevada" she said. Il
will go crazy if | have to use that
mans name any longer. [ don't care
so much for the divorce. 1 want to get
rid of his name, because / loathe it,"
Early in the proceedings Mrs. Mont
gomery said she had lived in Los
Angeles off and on for four years and
owned property here. In Seattle, she
said, she gave bond to secure her hus-
band a job with firm in that city for
$75 a month, but he could not hold it

ALLEGED SCION OF FAMED
FAMILY PLACED ON TRIAL
Lands Says He Is Congressman's Son.
Charged with Getting Money
by False Pretenses

The trial of l. r. Lands, accused by
George Wasem with representing him
self as the son of Congressman Lands
and the nephew of Judge Lands, who
fined the Standard Oil company $29,00O,-
600, and securing $500 from him for
stock in the Nevada Milling and Min
ing company by false pretense, com
menced yesterday afternoon before
Judge Davis and may be finished this
morning.
Lands, a young, well dressed and in
tellgent looking youth, has been held
in the county jail in default OF bail,
and shows the marks on his face of
prison confinement. His wife sat near
him yesterday and left every encour-
agement, smuggling handful Of choice
cigars to him for his enjoyment in the
tanks"
A letter written by Wasem to an
other of the mining company was in
troduced by the defense yesterday aft
ernoon to show the supreme confidence
placed in young Lands by Wasem.
The letter tended to show that Wasem
had been boosting for Lands with
other stockholders, and on one occa-
sion the plaintiff wrote that Landis
should have taken the presidency of
the company. Cross examination is eX-
pected to commence this morning.

NEW FIRE LIMITS
ARE ESTABLISHED
GREATER CITY DIVIDED INTO
FIVE DISTRICTS
Council Passes Measure in Order to
Gain Supervision of Building
In All Territory Recent
Iy Annexed

An ordinance passed by the city
council yesterday divides Greater Los
Angeles into five fire districts. The
cities recently annexed are included.
When the ordinance becomes effective
the boundaries of the new districts will
be as follows:
District No. l. the same territory that
was embraced in the original fire limits
of the city--the congested portion; No.
2. the original fire district of San Pedro
as it existed before consolidation; No.
3, the district of Wilmington as 1t was
before consolidation; No 4, the Holly
wood district as it was before CONSOLE
dation; No. 5. all the rest of the city.
This ordinance does not mean that
drastic rules regulating the erection Of
buildings are to be adopted; in fact
there will be no change from existing
conditions, except that the city ordi-
nances regulating the construction Of
apartment houses and tenements VIII
govern the city instead of the state
laws.
Under present conditions all apart
ment houses built outside the fire linn
its are built under rules laid down by
the state law. and the city ordinances
have no effect. 1t was in order to
make these city ordinances effective
everywhere in the city that the ordl-
nance was passed.

SENTENCE POSTPONED;
DUDLY ON PROBATION
AUTO-SPEEDER is FREE FROM
MANSLAUGHTER PENALTY
After Long Fight Driver Guilty of Kill
ing Pedestrian with Machine is
Released with Post
poned Sentence

Sentence was postponed indefinitely
and probation granted to j. B. Dudley,
the automobile man who pleaded gull
ty to manslaughter after running over
and killing Woodman J. Thomas over
a year ago. This was the decision of
Judge Davis late yesterday afternoon
following the examination of witnesses
who testified that the automobile fig
uring in the fatality was faulty and
incapable of going over 25 miles an
hour
Harold Seymour, a former machin-
ist, and now a salesman, testified the
machine was new and in poor working
order. He declared it was impossible
to run it at more than the medium
speed. and that the ignition system
was injured so that handling the auto
mobile was difficult.
The case has been examined in the
courts on numerous occasions, Attor-
ney Jud Rush for the defense making
every effort for probation, which was
finally secured. The terms of the pro-
bationary period will ge arranged in
court before Judge Davis this evening
at o'clock.
