12 WOMAN OF MANY NAMES PLEADS VICTIM WOOED HARMER'S LETTERS RECEIVE PATHETIC RENDERING "THE MORE I WRITE I WANT TO" Defendant Described as Doing Things Refuser, to End Case, Money Being Returned Dressed to a natty suit of blue cloth, a fur turban setting off to advantagel her regular features, Mrp. Minnie Jones, the woman with the multiplicity of names and numerous alleged victims, appeared in Justice Albert L. Stephens' court for preliminary hearing yesterday. She is charged with obtaining money from George W. Harmer under false pretenses.

Mrs. Jones insisted on her "legal rights" immediately after entering the court room, and through her attorney, Frank W. Allender, demanded that the place be cleared of every person except the justice, attorneys, the constable who arrested her and her alleged victim, Harmer. She was successful in this and smiled victoriously as the large number of witnesses, among whom were many women, were forced to leave the room and take up quarters in the smaller and not half as entertaining apartment reserved by the justice for his chambers. Harmer was the first and only witness yesterday.

He is 48 years old, he said, and believed Mrs. Jones to be some years younger. His story was substantially the same as that published heretofore. Harmer invariably referred to Mrs. Jones as "she," which is not surprising when it is remembered he now knows her by at least ten different names.

said Harmer, indicating the woman he first- knew as Mrs. Dora Nelson, "offered me a half interest in 1600 acres in San Luis Obispo county, in 800 head of stock and a large dairy, if I would let her have $500 to invest in fifteen Jersey cows she was pure from C. E. Bradley of Whittier." Harmer said he gave the woman a check for the money, thought it over, stopped payment, made another visit the house, -listened to further stories "bout her possessions, including, among other things, several huge diamonds, Jid finally gave in." "She did things quickly," said Harmer. "The first day I met her spoke of marriage.

Later she gave me a ring which I used in measuring a i diamond engagement ring I bought January 11, less than two weeks after I met her." Harmer still had the little gold hoop given him by Mrs. Jones. The diamond ring, for which he paid $157.50, was turned over to her. Says Woman Proposed Witness testified that he gave the woman other money in addition to the $500 for an interest in the fictitious anch. On one occasion, he said, he gave Mrs.

Jones another $500, which she promised to return, with an additional $100 for the accommodation. He denied that he had proposed marriage to Mrs. Jones. "She was the first to mention it," he said. Then Mrs.

Jones' attorney read a letter written by Harmer a few hours after his first meeting with the woman, January 1. "Dear Dora," he addressed her, with the statement that the words "sound good to me." Continuing he wrote: "I do so want to to you just what you expect to be to me. I hope to see you tomorrow at 3 o'clock. It will be a long time before then. I will not in any way do contrary to your will if I know it.

I will be just as true as can be to you in any way honorable and right. You must consider what a great blessing you can be to me. You and 11 are now partners in a business sense, and I hope you will think enough of me so we may become life partners. I want to be that one to make you happy." Harmer ended the letter by saying, "the more I write the more I wunt to." Attorney Allender's tones were full of pathos as he read the letter. It brought I a flush to Harmer's face and a smite to Mrs.

Jones' lips. Harmer said he wjrote the letter, but did not intend to put so much feeling into the lines as the attorney had done. "Now, was not that a proposal of marriage?" asked Mr. Allender. "No; it was not," responded Harmor.

"She opened the way for that letter; said she preferred me to others." "Didn't you get your trousseau ready?" demanded the attorney. Harmer resented the insinuation that hf. was effeminate, but admitted he had bought a few "glad rags." After the cross-examination was concluded Mr. Allender asked the court to dismiss the complaint and discharge Mrs. Jones.

"We desire," said the attorney, "to say that we admit Mrs. Jones got the $500, but only as the result of a trust agreement, by which cattle were to be rurchased. We are willing to termintae the trust now and we offer to return to Harmer his $500." G. Ray Horton, deputy district attorney, made objection. The suggestion, he said, was ridiculous.

Justice Steph-' ons ordered the case to proceed, and an adjournment was taken until today. Associated with Mr. Horton in the prosecution is A. Lincoln Walker, Harmer's attorney in several pending civil matters. Another Alleged Victim Paul Durand, living at 6000 Avenue 68.

says he is another victim of Mrs. Jones, whom he knew a year ago as Blanche Black. Durand says the woman tried to induce him to invest $500 in Jersey cattle at that time, and that he hadi the money ready but demanded first to see the animals. "She offered me all kinds of inducements if I would invest in her San Luis Obispo ranch," said Durand. "and told the same story she told Harmer.

It looked too good to me, and I wanted a sight of some of that property. When she found she couldn't land me that way she tried to sell me some diamonds. I looked at them and told her I had a tin cup filled with such stones." Durand admitted, however, that the secured $75 from him. "Are you sure she is the same woman?" he was asked. Durand said she was.

"I can't forget her lower lip and the way she puckers it," he said. "I remember the first time she did that and asked me how it looked. I said it looked good, and she wanted to know why I didn't taste it. I did." Durand is expected to be a witness in the present case. The names far known to have beer, assumed by Mrs.

Jones, or Mrs. Joseph Batchelder, are: Mrs. Dora Nelson, Mrs. Fay Loowenstein, Mrs. Minnie Leitner, Mrs.

Fay Leitner, Miss Qeeny Sinshelmer, Miss Queenle Titus, Mis 3 Elsie Clark, Miss Minnie Jones and Blanche Black. Accused Woman Photographed While Being Taken to Court Mrs. Minnie Jones, alias many other names, being led to the court room by a deputy sheriff. News of the Courts DOGS SLEEP IN BED; HUSBAND GETS ANGRY Court Holds Animals' Presence in Family Couch No Excuse for Cruelty and Grants Divorce Decree The fact that Lena M. Steelman of Glendale kept dogs in the house and allowed them to sleep in the family bed did not justify her husband, Stuart Steelman, in treating her cruelly, according to a decision rendered in the superior court yesterday, where Mrs.

Steelman was granted a decree of divorce. Mrs. Steelman mentioned one incident when her husband struck her because i she was not prompt in passing the but- ter while at breakfast. Steelman denied generally his wife's statements, said she neglected her household and that her pet dogs were scattered in the most comfortable places in their home. Cruelty was also charged by Pearl Colley, who was granted a decree, i legally separating her from Oswell Colley.

Mrs. Colley said her husband on one occasion kicked her down stairs. E. W. Arnold's petition for a divorce from Leota Arnold was denied, the charge of desertion not being proved to the satisfaction of the court.

The following divorces were filed: Norma Richardson against Edwin W. Richardson, Sylvia A. Brown against William Brown, Nellie Smith against William T. Smith, Olive M. Bowen against Arthur M.

Bowen, Alvina Kelly against Jesse H. Kelly, Nettie L. Potter against C. J. Potter and Anna L.

Hammersley against James H. Hammersley. PLEAD GUILTY TO ROBBING JOHANNSEN'S GROCERY Two Prisoners Wil!

COURT RELEASES ALLEGED FUGITIVE FROM JUSTICE Louis Seelbach, said to be wanted in Lexington, to stand trial on a criminal charge and who was arrested on a fugitive from justice warrant several days ago, was by Justice Summerneld yesterday.

Los Angeles Herald REFUSES TO GRANT BERCHTOLD DIVORCE Court Ret ins Jurisdiction in Order to Provide for Mother Should Have Custody Judge Bordwell denied a decree of divorce yesterday in the contested case of Adolph C. Berchtold against Sarah Berchtold, but retained jurisdiction for the purpose of making orders that may seem advisable in regard to the welfare lof the two children of the couple. In rendering his decision Judge Bordwell I said: "All of the impressions made by the plaintiff's testimony and that of witnesses in his behalf, with respect to the neglect by his wife of her domestic duties, have been overcome by the testimony of herself and neighbors and Iriends." Concluding, the court said: "The children, of tender years, need the care I and attention of a mother. No other i person on earth can supply her place. Then, why should they be deprived of her and she of them?"

Nash, charged with issuing a report concerning the condition of the Gold Bullfrog Mining and Milling company's properties, was concluded in the superior court yesterday and argument was begun. The case probably will go to the jury sometime this forenoon. The case of C. J. Callahan, jointly charged with Nash, was transferred to Judge Wilbur's court, where it was set down for trial on March 8.

Execution Is Issued The failure of S. L. Wallis, the deputy game warden who shot and killed the Eaton's canyon condor several days ago, to pay a fine of $50 imposed by Justice Summerfield, has resulted in the issuance of an execution to levy on Wallis' property, and the case will be turned over to the district attorney to enforce payment. Judge Hutton Returns Judge George H. Hutton, after an absence of nearly four months in San Bernardino, where he occupied the bench of Judge Oster, presided in department seven of the superior court yesterday.

Judge Oster, who sat for Judge Hutton, returned to San Bernardino.

Mathewson Case Reset The trial of Mrs. Agnes Mathewson, charged with assault with a deadly weapon, was reset by Judge Willis yesterday for March .25. The delay is due to the illness of Jose Lopez, the complaining witness.

Municipal Affairs WILL NOT PURCHASE FIRE ALARM BOXES Council Delays Action in Regard to Establishing New System Until Commission Reports on Its Investigation The city council will not purchase the 100 fire alarm boxes for which the fire commission has asked until th 3 commission reports on a plan submitted to it last summer by the council. As soon as this report is received it was tacitly agreed by the council yesterday to purchase the boxes. This plan is to segregate a portion of the Fifth and Sixth wards from the general fire alarm system of the city and try out a new system with 100 boxes. The 100 boxes in this district will be taken out and put in other places where they urgently are needed. This plan of the council is in the hands of a special committee of the fire commission, composed of Kolff an 3 McGarry.

This committee has been investigating, but its report is not ready. Secretary McKeag stated yesterday the commissioners soon will be ready to make its recommendation to tha council. There are many places in the outskirts of the city where fire alarm boxes much are needed. A new engine house is being built at Main and Vernon avenue, and there is not a fire alarm box within a mile of the engine house. There are other districts in the city where boxes are scarce, and property owners practically have no fire pro- I tection.

DISPOSAL OF GARBAGE IS BROBLEM STILL UNSOLVED All afternoon yesterday the council, in committee of the whole, heard discussions on the garbage matter and ended just it began, in a most confused frame of mind. Not one member of the council is able yet to say whether he favors the incineration, the reduction the hog-feeding methoi. The committee will meet again next Monday afternoon and make an effort to draw up specifiieations. The specifications that finally will be adopted will probably be the ones submitted by D. K.

Edwards several months ago, when he was a member of the. board of public works. These specifications are open and give an opportunity for bids of all kinds. Under them proposals can be made for disposing of the garbage by any one of the modes mentioned abovo. When the bids are submitted the council can accept the one that seems for the best interest of the city.

Changes Meeting Day The police commission held its first Monday afternoon meeting yesterday. All regular meetings of the police commission will hereafter be held Monday. This is made necessary by the fact that the council has changed its meeting day to Tuesday, the day when the police commission has formerly met. A number of times the police commission has matters it wishes the council to act on quickly, and this change will facilitate business. The police commission did little yesterday but grant some permits for billiard halls, employment, agencies and palmists.

BOND APPROVED BUT POSITION NOT READY City Auditor Notifies Police Inspector of Licenses Craig He Cannot Draw Pay for Two Weeks The bond of James A. Craig, the new police inspector of licenses, was approved by the council yesterday, but Mr. Craig cannot take his position for two weeks. The ordinance was published about two weeks ago, and City Auditor Mushet notified Mr. Craig not to go to work days after the publication of the ordinance.

This ordinance bore what is knowr as the emergency clause, a convenient provision in the city charter of whfc'i the council has frequently taken aSvantage when it wanted quick action. With the emergency clause attached an ordinance becomes effective as soor as it is published, but in the usual form it is not effective until thirty days after publication. The emergency clause states "tlv.s ordinance is urgently needed for the peace, health and safety of the In a decision handed down by the supreme court, which became public last week, this clause cannot be used with the freedom it has in the past. The supreme court holds that to be an emergency the ordinance must be for the purpose of actually preserving the peace, health or safety of the community, and the special instance Df preserving one of these three objects must be stated in the ordinance. As the auditor cannot see just whero the peace, health or safety of the community is jeopardized by waiting two weeks for Mr.

Craig to assume his position, he notified him he would nat approve any demand for services issued prior to thirty days after the publication of the ordinance. INFORMS THE CITY COUNCIL IT IS USURPING AUTHORITY In his weekly report to the city council, which will be read to that body today, City Attorney Hewitt gently reprimands the city legislators for usurping duties that belong to the board of public works. January 25 the council instructed the city attorney to draw up the necessary contract between the city and L. Brodie for the construction of a reservoir in Elysian park. The city attorney points out that the letting of contracts for public works is in the hands of the board of public works and that the council has nothing to do with it.

Want Supplies Immediately The board of public works will ask permission of the council today to purchase three Leyner drills and spare parts for -use on the aqueduct, I whole to cost $2800. As these pieces of machinery urgently are needed for immediate work the board asks it be permitted to make the purchases under the emergency provision of the city charter without advertising for bids.

BARS AUDITOR FROM INQUIRY CORPORATION BOOKS TO BE EXAMINED Council Passes Resolution for Investigation of Accounts of Utility Companies and Cuts Out Mushet The city council yesterday refused to give the city auditor authority to examine the books of the utility cor-1 porations to learn how near to the truth they had come in their annur.l statei ments of receipts, expenditures and appraisement of property. Every counj cilman present yesterday except Dromj gold. Wren and Pease voted to accept corporations' statements without investigation. In the midst of the wrangle over this subject the council adjourned, leaving the resolution introduced by Councilman Dromgold lying on the table for action at the regular meeting today. The public utility companies are required by ordinance to submit each year statements of their receipts and expenditures and the amount of property they own.

From the receipts and expenditures can be learned the net profit and from the property valuation the percentage earned on the capital invested. With these figures before them the members of the council fix the rateo that may be charged by these companies for their various commodities for the year, beginning July 1. These statements were submitted Saturday by the Pacific Light and Power company, the Los Angeles Gas and Electric company, the Edison Electric company, the People's Gas and Coke company and the Domestic Gas company. The city clerk reported to the council yesterday that these statements had been filed in regular form. Councilman Dromgold introduced a resolution asking that the statements be referred to the finance committee and the city auditor, with instructions to investigate the books of the corporations and see that the figures given are correct.

Similar investigations in the past have shown that statements have represented the truth as far as they have gone, but the whole trutn has not been contained in them. As soon as this resolution was introduced by Mr. Dromgold, ealy began a fight to have the name of the eh auditor eliminated from the resolutio'-I thereby refusing him the council's authority to investigate the books of these companies. He was supported in thus fight by Blanchard, lampitt and Yonkin. Dromgold's resolution was supported only by President Pease and Councilman Wren None of the couneilmen behind Healy explained why wanted the name left out, and when interrogated remarked that reference to the finance committee is all that is necessary aivl that this committee could call the auditor into conference.

No member if the finance committee is as capable of investigating the books of a corporation as is Mr. Mushet, the city auditor who is a certified public accountant. While the couneilmen opposing the plan of authorizing the auditor to examine the books declared it is immaterial whether he is included in resolution or not, the discussion grew a little bitter, and Healy was "called down" by the president for a personal remark flung at Councilman Dromgold. "Dromgold comes in here and trier; to boss this council with his little tricks, and I don't propose to stand for it," said Healy with considerable heat, while Lycurgus Dromgold laughed secretly at being called tricky Healv. "That's enough, Mr.

Healy. I don't think such remarks are called for" said Mr. Pease, and Healy subsided for a minute. During the discussion a motion to adjourn was put and the debate was terminated abruptly. VACHER FAMILY MAY TAKE CHARGE AGAIN Is the business of dog catching to revert to the Vacher family? That this is what may happen was the belief expressed at the city hall yesterday after consideration by the mayor of the trouble in the Humane Animal league, which is seeking to st Pound Keeper Lawson, "in the interest of harmony." It was declared yesterday that the mayor had said that unless the league patched up its troubles and ended all bickerings the council probably would 1 yoke the contra with it.

In this event, it is supposed, the Vachers will ac-am reigi. supreme at the pound. Regarding the rumored appointment o' Miss Helen Mathewson, president of the league, as pound keeper to succeed Lawson, it was stated at the city hall that the ayor could not consider such an appointment, inasmuch as Miss athewson is not a voter.
