THOUGHTS OF DEAD
HUSBAND FILL DIARY
OF HAMMER VICTIM

LOS ANGELES, Aug. 10.-Sad
thoughts Of her dead husband, re-
vulsion from other men, together
with sense of loneliness are
written in the diary Of Mrs. Alber-
ia Meadows which was made pub
lie here today.
MET Mr.. Phillips inscribed
in the entry for April 80, is the
only reference in the diary to the
man whose wife is now in Jail
awaiting trial on the charge Of
beating the writer Of those words
to death with a hammer OH the
night Of July IL.
Practically every entry in the
record contains a reference to
jess, her husband who was
killed by an electric shock on JAN
nary 10, less than year after
their marriage.
There is no allusion to Mrs.
Clara Phillips and no intimation
that Mrs. Meadows had reason to
believe she had incurred the jeal-
ousy of anyone.
The diary relates the common
place events of each day, record
ing apparently her innermost re-
actions.
Went to Pomona to the Orange
Show with Leona,' said one en-
try. "It was beautiful but
didn't have a very good time. AL

Is Broken Up
SHOTGUNS IN AMBUSH

LOS ANGELES, Aug. 10. = Ed
Burton, gun man, wounded in a battle
with deputy sheriffs during an attempt
ed robbery of the Union Ice Co. here
last night, died today of his wounds.
His death increases the toll to three.
j. w. Gilkye, who surrendered un-
hurt, admitted he had been implicated
in various holdups, but stoutly refused
to "squealo on other members of the
gang.
Gilkye said he came of go6d family
in st. Louis, but that he had been in
trouble most of his life.
Kenneth Flennor, gunman, and Louis
big Dick) Reese, were shot and killed.
The sensational ambush was made
after officers had learned of the hold
ups plaps and nine deputy sheriffs
armed with shotguns and revolvers
were hidden about the plant when the
bandits entered and ordered Ed Rath-
man, 20 year old ier to "stiek 'em
up
When 800 in cash had been counted
out from the safe, the deputies charged
the room and a hand to hand gun battle
followed as the bandits sought to fight
their way out.
The driver of the bandit car outside
escaped. Police believe the battle has
broken up one of the most desperate
bands of highwaymen in the city.

COAL Mine PEACE
PARLEY ON TODAY

CLEVELAND, Ohio, Aug 10.-Peace
negotiations will be opened here late
today between miners leaders and
minority coal operators of the central
competitive field without the insur-
surgents of Illinois, Indiana and West
ern Pennsylvania.
No further attempts will be made to
bring in the insurgents who are hold
ing out for wage agreements at the
mines or in small districts.
As the time for the final conference
approached. it was apparent that the
ranks of the operators were in confus-
ion, while the miners maintained a solid
front.
Refusal of the Illinois operators to
attend was setback. Announcement
had been made that the Danville, H.,
district, with a tonnage of about 6,000,-
900 would have representatives here.
The policy committee of the United
Mine Workers met at 10 n. m. today
to discuss the situation in Westers

BORDER BUSINESS
TAKES BIG JUMP
Special to The Press

CALEXICO, Aug. l0.-Despite the
fact that right now is the dullest season
of the year in mercantile circles, there
has been a remarkable revival of bus
mess on both sides of the international
boundary line since the removal OF
smallpox quarantine regulations. Rc-
tail business has been stimulated and
merchants in both Calexico and Mexi-
cali report that the people have almost
caught up in their buying, which was
practically suspended during the quar-
antine.
As an indication of the amount of
business done the report of the customs
house for the month of July, during a
part of which period the ban was still
on, shows that Calexico merchants sold
to citizens across the line $l40,l44 in
merchandise, and at the same time more
than $4,000 worth of goods was
brought over from Mexico. This is q
tremendous increase over the month OF
June, when the quarantine was on all
month OF the amount of goods passed
both ways $l29,336 was the value of
food stuffs, which are classed as non
dutiable, and the greater part of this
was flour and other staple groceries.
The same condition obtained at An
drade, where quarantine regulations
were on also, imports and exports
amounting to more than 100000, an in
crease of $5S,000 over the previous
month.

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 1o.-The

Taft declared today in an address be-
fore the American Bar Association
Taft spoke on "possible and needed
reforms in the administration of civil
Justice in the federal courts He
commended the proposed bill for per.
mitting teamwork between judges .
in dividing work equally, and urged its
immediate passage by congress.
The chief justice commended on the
fact that in former years the disposi-
tion of cases in federal courts was com
mendably speedy, but that during re.
cent years the courts have become so
congested, especially with Volstead act
cases that, he said, justice has been
hampered and delayed.
