EXPECT NEW COMPLAINT
IN MIDWAY OIL co. CASE

Following Judge Hervey Of the
superior court sustaining the demur-
rer of the defendants in the case of
A. T. Jergens against Samuel Schenck,
formerly a police commissioner, and
Eva L. Schenck, his wife, involving the
control of 101, 900 shares of stock in the
California Midway Oil company, a new
complaint is expected to be filed.
Jergens told the court that he and
Mrs. Schenck were to purchase con-
tracts for the delivery of the oil stock,
which was to remain in her name, al
though they had arranged that he was
to control it's disposition.
The stock was to be placed in
safety deposit box to which both Jer-
gems and Mrs. Schenck had keys.
Jergens, in bringing the action,
claimed that the Schencks were plan
ming to dispose of the stock without his
knowledge and consent, and he applied
to the court for a restraining order.
The defendants alleged that Jergens'
complaint was ambiguous and in
definite, and demurred, with the result
that Judge Hervey yesterday sustained
them.

APPEALS CASE OF HALL
OF RECORDS FURNITURE
Merrill Asks Appellate Court to
Stay Award of Contract

Leonard Merrill as a taxpayer, yes
terday filed in the court of appeals a
petition for a rehearing of his action
against the Los Angeles county board
of supervisors asking them to be re-
strained from awarding the contract
for furnishing the new hall of records
to the California Furniture company.
The court lately held that it could
not interfere in the matter unless
fraud was alleged, and denied his ap-
plication for writ of injunction on
that ground.
Methods used in obtaining the con-
tract are attacked in the request for
reheartng, 1t being charged they made
fraud or favoritism possible. Unbusi-
nessIike methods are criticised in the
following manner:
"Your petitioner also contends that
there is no evidence to justify the find
ing that the purchase was one in the
open market. The notice inviting the
bids called for sealed bids and re-
uuired the bidders certified check.
The proceeding had all the earmarks
of competitive bidding by advertise
ment, and was an election by the
board of purchase by competitive bid
ding"
Some Of the furniture itemized in the
bid will be eliminated from the award
according to a decision of the board OF
supervisors. since other attempts at an
Injunction were made to curtail the

News of the Courts
P. f. CO. SUED FOR
CUTTING A FIRE HOSE
Smith Claims Car Wheel Shut Off
Stream, Causing His
House to Burn

The running over and cutting in two
OF a fire hose by a street car resulted
in suit for damages being filed yes
terday in the superior court.
Lulu and Robert M. Smith want the
court to give them a judgment for
s612.50 against the Pacific Electric
company, which they blame for their
present troubles.
According to the Smiths complaint,
the house they were occupying May
81, 1910, at 55O5 Long Beach avenue
in Los Angeles, caught fire and was
wholly consumed.
They assert that the fire department
was coping successfully with the
flames, and in all likelihood would
have extinguished them had not car
owned by the defendant company run
over the hose and ineapacitated the
flremen by shutting Off the supply Of
water.
AS the result, the Smiths allege, a
trunk owned by them and in the house
at the time Of the fire was burned to
ashes, and clothing valued at $3.50;
a gold watch, chain and ring, valued
at $3.50, and $500 in currency, all being
in the trunk, were destroyed.
They add to their losses by fire $50
for their trouble, and ask damages
totaling $612.50.

ASKS DIVORCE BECAUSE
WIFE REVlLES ENGLISH

James r. williams, at one time a
candidate for the office of mayor of
Long Beach, yesterday was denied a
divorce from May w. Williams, from
whom he sought a permanent separa-
ton on the grounds of extreme cruelty.
Williams told Judge Monroe, sitting
in department four, that his wife's
cruelty consisted largely of her con-
stantly "nagging" him and in revlllng
the English, of whom he is one. He
also alleged that his wife has deserted
him, but as she has not been absent
from his home year that does not
constitute grounds for divorce.
Judge Monroe could not see that Mrs.
Williams had been sufficiently cruel to
her husband for him to be given a de-
cree, and so denied it,
The same judge freed Isabel Cald-
well from Joseph N. Caldwell on the
charge of desertion.
New actions filed were those of
Josephine Hauser against Jacob P.
Hauser, Eva Frazier against Alva
Frazier and Lewis c. McGarvin against
Connie McGarvin.

AWARDED $1,000 JUDGMENT
AGAINST SOUTH SIDE BANK

John M, Poundstone, in a decision
rendered yesterday by Judge Hervey
of the superior court, was awarded
Judgment for $1,000 in the case in which
he was made a defendant by the
South Side bank, which tried to fore
close a mortgage on his home.
Poundstone borrowed money from
the bank, giving as security a third
mortgage on his residence. When the
money was not paid the bank fore
closed, and the property was publicly
sold to satisfy the mortgage.
Mrs. Poundstone, at the public sale,
bought the home back with her own
money and in her own name, and the
bank then tried to foreclose on a
previous mortgage despite her new
title.

ENTIRE COUNCIL OPPOSES
EXCEPTING BAKERY LOTS

Councilmen Gregory and 3etkousll
yesterday announced that they had
changed their minds and were opposed
to granting an exception from the resi-
dence district of two lots at Sixth and
Beaudry from the residence district for
the benefit of the Davis Standard Bread
company.
This makes 1t unanimous, for while
Councilmen Lusk and Washburn have
said they did not know how they would
vote on the matter, there seems to be
little doubt that they will vote against
the measure. With Gregory and Bet
kouski opposed to the exception, the
entire legislation committee is against
it, and when 1t meets Monday will rec
ommend that the petition for the ex
ception be not granted.

much larger and with better ad-
vantages. The exercises consist

the exercises there was a box
supper. The boxes were sold at

New Orleans the Proper Place
for Holding the Panama Elk

position.
To the Editor of The Robesonian:
New Orleans assumes that her
friends and neighbors need not
be hombarded with argument in
tended to show her superior
claims over those Of any other
city mentioned in connection
with an exposition to celebrate
the opening Of the Panama
Canal. The fight is on, how
ever, and it becomes important
that every friend of New Orleans
should rally to her support.
During the month of January
the Legislature Of a number of
States will meet in regular ses-
sion and those who are interest
ed in seeing New Orleans sue
coed in the contest for the ex-
position have the opportunity of
performing a most efficient and
friendly service in her behalf.
If | am correctly advised the
North Carolina Legislature will
meet January 4th, 1911, It's
first official action should be
nothing better than the intro
duction and passage Of a strong
resolution endorsing New Or
leans as the proper place at
which to hold the exposition and
requesting the Senators and Con-
gressmen from North Carolina
to support the bill locating the
exposition in the Southern City.
There is danger in delay, hence,
if North Carolina should make
the adoption of such a resolution
the first matter to which it's at.
tention would be given, the NOR.
al effect upon Congress and upor
doubters in other portions of the
country could not fail to be mos
salutary.
1t is time that we Of the South
should be given an opportunity
to do something really Of the
first magnitude. We have had {
few small fairs at different
points. but the great expositions
have gone to Philadelphia, tt
Chicago and to St. Louis and
the South has given cheerful co.
operation to each one of those
important enterprises.
We cannot be criticised if we
insist that our turn has come
now, and that we have a right
to call on those other sections of
the country whose people we
have assisted so often for 2 re.
turn favor. Especially ought
our appeal to be favorably con-
sidered when we center our
efforts IN behalf Of New Or
leans, the only place at which
| the celebration Of the compile.
ton of the Panama Canal can
with prudence and propriety be
held.
