Babcock, proprie- tor of a re ant on Larkin street where ntoxica are served amid Orfental settings, was compelled to admit | that she had taken advantage of her hus- band's sins to recoup her depleted fund | of ready cash. From the proprietor of the Hollenbeck Hotel of Los Angeles, the brother of Mrs. Louise McHenry, she admitted that she | recetved $§75 to abandon proceedings she | Intended to institute against the matron | named for alienating Babcock s affections. | Mrs. Babcock was visibly grieved at the fact that the admission had been wrung from her, but regret was soon displaced by the fires of resentment and anger as | she recited the story of the alleged tor- ture that had been inflicted upon her by | her hysband with studied brutality that would’do credit to an Apache. Time and time again, she sald, he beat her black and blue and inflicted unspeak- able indignities upon her. Her left eye, she said, he had beaten raw, and then as he laughed at her suffering he declared that if the spirit moved him he would put her right eye in.the same fix, and if that did not satisfy his lust for revenge upon her he would stick a fork deep into her eve socket and see how she liked it BLONDE HAIR ANGERS HIM.

Not- withstanding these threats, she testified, | she called upon him the next day, and he | kissed and fondled her in an effort to ef- {fect a reconciliation. But she was ob- durate and returned to the home of Mrs. Potter. Further relating her troubles, Mrs. Bab- cock said that on one occasion her hus- band tried to kill her with a revolver, and again wishing to visit mental agony upon her prepared to execute her pet dog, with the resuit that she had to apply to the court for an injunction to' prevent such a diabolically concetved scheme of torture. MORE OF MRS. McHENRY. During the afternoon session, after Mrs. Babcock had been refreshed by a light luncheon enjoved at a cafe not far from | the City Hall, she returned prepared to tell something more of the relations be- tween her husband and Mrs. McHenry, whose brother had so nobly.come to her rescue. “I cannot say.that my husband was after Mrs. McHenry so much as Mrs. Mc- Henry was after him,” she testified. “She was at the place all the time, and togeth- er they would go automobiling and buggy riding. She alienated his affections, and it was because of this that I had ground of action against her. However, there was no suit, because she compromised the matter through her brother and attor- neys.” In conclusion Mrs. Babcock, of whose charms it was evident Babcock is still ex- tremely jealous, said that her husband's mistreatment of her was committed even in the face of the fact that she had start- ed him in business at an expense of $8000. Further than this, she said, she worked as cashler at his restaurant, known as “Bab’s;”” where frequently they took in as high as $200 a night. Since their trou- bles began, she sald, the receipts of the restaurant have greatly fallen off, but matters of finance will worry her little, she concluded, if she soon knows that she is freed from the man who has burdened her life with abuse. PRESIDENT ASKS AID, FOR THE JAPANESE Calls Upon Americans to As- sist Starving People in Island Empire. WASHINGTON, Feb. 13.—President Roosevelt in an appeal to-day took of- ficlal cognizance of the famine which has grown to serious proportions in Northern Japan. The appeal follows: February 18, 1906.—The famine situation in Northern Japan is proving much more serious than at first supposed and thousands of per sons are upon the verge of starvation. It is a calamity such as may occasfonally befall any country. Nations, ike pren. should stand_ever ready to aid each othef In-distress, and I ap- peal to the American people to help from their abundance the suffering men of the great and triendly nation of Japan. I recommend that contributions for this purpose be sent to the American National Red Cross, which wiil for- ward such funds to the Japanese Red Cross, 1o be used as the Japanese Government may di- rect. Contributions can be made to the local Red Cross treasurers, or_sent direct to Hon. Charles Hallam Keep, Red Cross treasurer, TUnited States Treasury Depariment, Washing- ton, D. C.

Ramsey and W. E. Guy NEW YORK, Feb. 18.—An attachment upon property in this city valued at near- ly $500,000 owned by George J. Gould, Jo- seph Ramsey and Willlam E. Guy of St. Louis has been received by the Sheriff of New York County. The attachment was filed in connection with a suit instituted by John S. Jones to recover $466,000 which he claims is due him from the defendants for services, expenses and commissions in purchasing 18,000 acres of coal lands for the defendants in Southern Ob!o. The purchases upon which the suit' is based were made in 1900. Jones' counsel later announced that these suits would be brought against Gould, Ramsey and Guy. One is against a syndicate, in which it is alleged the three defendants acted as absolute man- agers and disbursed $7,000,000.. The two ‘remaining suits relate to this same pool, one being against the defendants indi- vidually and the other against them col- lectively. One of the complaints reads as follows: Gould took upon himself the'man- armetarthe. Sndicate and- became - ac- countable for honorable care and attention to his dutles, vet he neglected them wholly, sald Gould being busy with other matters in Which he had larger interests. The papers then set forth that Ramsey at various times expended large amounts of money without consulting either Gould or Guy. The complaint continues: Gould and Ramsey have quarréled so much about other important affairs, cularly as ahout oAher la hecome. president of the Wa- bash Raliroad Company, that~noproper con- cert ot action could be hoped for from them {n the management and direction of the syn- dicate. The syndicate was formed in February, 1903, and the agreement among, the mem- bers was for three years. X At Gould's office to-day questions about these suits elicited no answer. — e PERKINS’' ANTI-HAZING BILL > IS REPORTED FAVORABLY i — Adds to the Authority of the Navy’'s Secretary in’ Annapolis Caxes. g WASHINGTON, Feb. 13.—The Senate Com- mittee on Naval Affairs to-day reported favor- ably the bill introduced by Senator Perkins to prevent hazing at the naval academy.

It is feared that the fire will damage the vessel’s hull and warp the structural beams. The deck near hatch No. 2 is so hot that it is impossible to stand on it, and clouds of white smoke are coming from hatch No. 3. An engine of the Honolulu Fire Depart- ment is pumping 800 gallons of water a minute into the steamship’s Hold, with the hope of slacking the lime which forms part of the cargo. On account of the heat the firemen experience great difficulty in going into the hold, and are able to re- main only a few moments. The agents of the Hawallan-American Steamship Line, to which the Texan be- longs, Captain Lyon and several repre- sentatives of insurance companiey have been. in consultation with chemists re- garding means of suppressing the fire. It was planned to use carbonic acid gas, but this was regarded as dangerous, and it was decided that water was the only re- course.. The damage to the cargo is now esti- mated at $25,000. e ———— Live Wires Start Big Fire.
