We wont give the number of the

that passed through this section
Sunday with a large Ford machine,
but they were certainly running fast
er than the law permits, or we might
say faster than the hard bed of the

took to skidding and left the track
and plOwed into the ditch, sinking
to the aXles. The gentlemen and
machine were helpless as far as
moving the machine was concerned
The accident occurred within ten

ROOSEVELT VICTORY COMPLETE
Swept Every California County; Clark's
Victory Equally Decisive.

San Francisco, May 16.-The victory
of Roosevelt in the California presi
dental preference primary is more
complete than was indicated. His plu-
rality over Taft may reach as high as
10000 votes He swept every county
in the state except san Joaquin, which
gave La Toilette the highest vote, but
even there Roosevelt ran second.
Returns from 2,S55 precincts out Of
a total of 3,7O0 give Roosevelt 1927
votes; Taft, 62.397; La Toilette, 40
S25. 1t is not believed this ratio will
be materially altered by remaining re-
turns.
Champ Clark, for the Democrats,
scored an equally decisive victory over
Wilson. Clark's vote for the number
of precincts given above is 80, ,4S1. Will

If the dispositions of the cyclops of
old were anything like that which is
ascribed by Mrs. Mary NJ Etienne to her
husband. Joseph NJ. Etienne, proprietor
of the Cyclops Iron works. it is small
wonder that they were unpopular in
their social circles. Mrs. Etienne filed
a suit for divorce yesterday which was
picturesque in its description of her
husbands characteristics. The general
ground for the action is cruelty, and
the specific instances Of brutality cited
by the wife are allegations of beatings
and of a choking episode, under the
torture of which she almost lost con-
sciousness.
Money is to figure in the case. The
attorney for Mrs. Etienne appeared be-
fore Judge Graham yesterday after
noon and obtained a restraining order
to prevent Etienne from withdrawing
from various banks sums of money un-
til after the divorce suit and the impor-
tant question of alimony are settled.

street, and Etiennes foundry is To-

the other 5, and Mrs. Etienne asks
that they be given into her custody
The court has set the hearing of the
case for next Friday morning and has
directed all parties to appear in court
at that time.
Mrs. Etienne's story as told in the
divorce complaint left little to the
imagination. For 10 full typewriter
pages it narrates the alleged cruelties
practiced by the iron foundry man. who
is reputed to have carried into the
domestic circle much of the iron and
the roughness of his craft.
Harsh and improper language is de-
clared by the wife to have flowed from
the mouth of her husband with un-
quenchable fury.
An attempt was made to keep the
record in the case secret, but the at
torney had to appear in open court
with his papers to fully accomplish his
purpose and the record showed the
narrative of the Etienne domestic
struggle.
Alimony in a considerable amount,
costs and counsel fees, are demanded
by Mrs. Etienne of her husband, who
is reputed to be well to do.

STAY IN JUDGES
ORDER IS ASKED

A petition for writ of supersedeas
to stay. Superior Judge Coffey from en-
tering his order of distribution in the
matter of the estate of the late Claus
Spreckels was filed in the state supreme
court yesterday afternoon by G. A.
Spreckels and Rudolph Spreckels
trustees of the estate of Anna G,
Spreckels deceased widow of the Cali
fornia millionaire.
The court set no time for return
on the petition. The issuance of the
writ will be vigorously opposed by the
attorneys for John d. Spreckels and A.
b. Spreckels. the other sons.
Judge Coffee. before whom the
Spreckels estate is pending in probate
was first petitioned by G.. A. Spreckels
and Rudolph Spreckels to distribute
the estate in accordance with the trust
clause of the will. which held the prop
erty in trust under certain testament
airy conditions
subsequently, the trust clause was
abrogated by the court in sustaining
the demurrer of John ID. and A. B.
Spreckels. Judge Coffey then stated
that he would shortly distribute the
estate to the heirs as they stand before
the law.
G. A. Spreckels and Rudolph
Spreckels have appealed from the deci-
sion to the supreme court and the writ
Of supersedeas applied for yesterday
to stay the action OF the probate court
pending the appeal
IF a supersedeas is issued in this
case" said Attorney w. I. Brobeck for
John d. Spreckels and A. B. Spreckels
Yesterday, ''it will be the first time in
the history of the court that such a
writ was ever issued in case of this
kind and under these circumstances.
I'VE believe that Judge Corey has
full jurisdiction to enter the order for
the distribution of the estate, and we
shall oppose the petition for the writ.
Originally the petitioners desired dis
tribution OF the estate, but now they
have reversed themselves oHrthat stand
and they desire to have Judge Coffey's
ruling reversed"
The petition flled yesterday alleges
that if the probate court is not re-
strained from entering It's decision the
petitioners will be deprived OF what
ever benefits would come to them from
an appeal,
