Wife Alleges, However, That Decree
Was Obtained by Fraud and
presentation-ls
Closely Questioned

DIR. w. j. Chambers appeared be-
fore Judge Bordwell yesterday in an
swer to a citation to show cause why
a divorce decree granted him from his
wife, Kathryn II. Chambers, should
not be revoked on the ground that IL
was procured by collusion and fraud
Mrs. Chambers, after the decree was
granted, alleged it had been obtained
by fraud and misrepresentation on
the part of her husband, and she had
the citation issued.
Mrs. Chambers was examined closely
as to why her deposition was taken in
the divorce proceedings instead of her
being subpoenaed to appear in person.
In response to questions asked her by
Judge Bordwell she stated that she did
not know.
She stated that the whole trouble
arose over her dislike of children.
When asked as to why she objected,
she eVaded the question each time by
saying that she did not know, only
that she did not like them.
DIR. Chambers, when called to the
witness stand and interrogated by
Judge BordwelI, stated that he had
been married twice before and divorced
each time. He also stated that ne
was plaintiff In one case and defendant
in the other.
Both parties were examined closely
as to a settlement of their property
rights, which was made before the
divorce was obtained.
Judge Bordwell, after hearing all the
facts in the case, took the matter un-
der advisement until today when he
will give his decision.

GLEN00RA RESIDENTS SEEK
GOOD ROADS TO NORTHWARD
Ask Supervisors for Wagon and Auto
Outlet to San Gabriel
River

A delegation of residents of Glen
dora were present before the board
of supervisors yesterday for the pur-
pose of obtaining assistance from the
county for the construction of a wagon
and automobile road from Glendora
north into the mountains to a point
just below the forks of the San Gabriel
river A movement for the building
of such road has been started in the
vicinity of Glendora.
The delegate stated that about
$500 had been expended already on
trail and that a right of way will
be given for the complete highway as
soon as the surveys are completed
but that the expense of expanding the
trail into a road will be considerable
and more than they would be able
to bear alone.
1t was proposed by the delegation
that the board of supervisors form a
road district and call an election to
vote bonds for building the proposed
road. Also that they contribute to-
ward the expense.
Assurances were made by the board
that after steps had been taken to
indicate that the project would be
consummated, the county would con-
tribute $1,000 toward the enterprise.

Fifty-three deputy assessors went

be at work for. the next four months,
but by the first Monday in July they

With w. j. Washburn as chairman of

than it ever has before and it is almost
a foregone conclusion that there will
be less money spent in salaries and
more in permanent improvements than
has been the case in the past.

COURT WANTS MORE
LAW ON FUNK SUIT
JUDGE ASKS FOR AUTHORITIES
FROM BOTH SIDES
Peculiar Case Has no Precedent and
Promises to Be Long Drawn Out
in Fight Between City
Attorneys

Following arguments yesterday on a
demurrer to the complaint of Melissa
link Funk. seeking to recover $40, 900
on three promissory notes, from the es-
tate of the late Theodore Bunnell of
Santa Monica who died in 1907, Judge
Wellborn in the United States district
court ordered the case continued two
weeks to give the attorneys on both
sides time to look up authorities for
presentation to the court.
The case is one of the most peculiar
in the. history of the United States
courts and has hung fire for several
years. The notes are said to have had
their origin i'm an effort on BunnelPs
part to right a wrong he alleges to
years old, when she was girl of a.,
living with her p; ents on farm near
Rob Roy, Ind.
The notes drawn up by Bunnell al
lege that one night in 1859 during a
binding rain storm he sought shelter
in the house of the girls parents, and
finding the child alone attempted to
wrong her. One note dated April 26,
1860, at Rob Roy, promises to pay the
girl $4,000 for the wrong l did her in
1859, and for the love and gratitude
bear her" Another note dated January
1S. 1870, calls for $4,000 in consideration
that she not marry John Beverly"
The last note for $4,000, dated just
before Bunnell's death, August 15, 1907,
Is "given for love and gratitude aid
for one l love so dearly and whom 1
wronged so wilfully." The three notes
are made payable after the signers
death.
Attorneys for the defendants aver
that If the notes were given to avoid
prosecution from a felony they are in
valid and that on the other hand "love
and gratitude" are not sufficient con-
siderations for notes. The defense also
intimates forgery and the testimony or
will be used.
Bunnell last saw Mrs. Funk at Colo
RADIO Springs in August, 1907, while he
was on the brink # the grave. His
estate is valued at $175,OO0. William A.
Marsh and GEORGE H. Sutton are ex-
ecutors for the estate.

CITY OFFICIALS
MAY USE PASSES
LEGISLATIVE COMMITTEE SAYS
THEY ARE NOT FREE
Franchises Provide That the Railways
Must Furnish Certain NUM-
cipai Officers Trans
portatlon

Acceptance of passes by city Off
cials and their use only on public
business is not only legal but good poll
icy, is the gist of report the legisla-
tive committee will make to the coun-
ell today
The committee reports 1t cannot find
any judicial authority on the matter
and is forced to draw it's own conclu-
sions.
The question on which the whole
matter hinged, according to the re-
port, is whether the passes given by
the street railway companies to certain
officials are "free passes" The consti-
tutional provision against the accept
ance of free passes by state and other
public officials is very explicit, the
committee finds, and IL the passes
given to city officials are 'free". the
committee says it does not hesitate
to state that no city official should
accept them.
But the committee concludes these
passes are not free" that they are
required by the franchises given the
railways, and that the railways have
been paid for this transportation by
receiving the right to use the streets.
The committee further finds that
many of these passes are granted to
members of the police, fire and other
commissions who receive no other
compensation, and that this small
item may be an inducement to some
capable men to accept places on these
commissions when they would not
otherwise do so. The committee con-
ours with the city attorney in his
opinion that these passes should not
be used except when the user is on
public business.
The acceptance and use of these
passes, in the committees opinion, not
only does not affect the city officials
in favor of the railroads granting
them, but on the contrary renders
them more independent in their official
conduct and less likely to be improp-
erly influenced.
The subject of passes was referred
to the committee on the suggestion of
Judge John d. Works, president of the
city council, who believes they are un-
constitutional
In conclusion the committee says:
I'VE regret exceedingly that candor
and a sense of duty compels us to
differ from the views expressed by the
very esteemed president of this coun-
Gil, but we feel sure he will willingly
accord us the privilege we so respect
fully accord to him, that of allowing
honest men to differ in their views"
