News of the Courts
HUSBAND GIVES NAGGING
AS CAUSE FOR DIVORCE
Thomas Morehouse Admits He
Was Delinquent in Grammar
and Etiquette
Violation of the laws or etiquette! by
using a toothpick in company, falling
to rise In the presence of women In Ills
homo and Bitting with one leg thrown
comfortably over the other when com
pany was present were a few of the
subjects on which his wife whs con
tinually nagging him, according to
Thomas Morebouee yesterday In bin
action for divorce from Emma I, More
house on tho grounds of desertion be
fore Judge Houser of the divorce court.
The defendant Li a wealthy owner of
orange groves in Riverside county and
the plaintiff states she Is worth 1260,000
In in i own right. He denies thai there
Is any community property, In her
answer, Mrs. Morehouse alleges there
la $60,090 of community property, and
she asks half of It. They were married
In Riverside June 20, 1905, and the
plaintiff charges his wife with deser
tion a year later.
The contention of the defense Is that
the plaintiff deserted the defendant
first when her property Interests were
In bad condition and later when she
was 111 and required his attention to
manage her estate, The defense also
admits that he may have been spoken
to regarding his personal appearance
because he went around in greasy auto
mobile clothes when he was able to
have the best clothing to be secured.
The case was threshed out all day In
court, the plaintiff being on the stand
most of the time. He made ■ very
strenuous witness and several times the
attorneys for the defense asked the
court to stop him from answering.,
Morehouse talked back at Se\*.ml Si
mons, attorney for his wife, and dur
ing one discussion Informed the at
torney the true meaning of the word
"catalogue," for which Simons gravely
thanked him.
■i had only been married six weeks
to Mrs. Mori-house," said the witness,
■•when she said that if I didn't pay
more attention to my grammar she
would leave me. I went downtown and
bought a grammar and commenced to
study it so that I might please her, but
It did no good. She nagged at me just
the same. She wanted to know when
I was going to learn to use the pro
noun , 'them,' and the adjective 'those 1
in their proper places. She was al
ways complaining that I humiliated
her so much with my appearance and
grammar..
"On one occasion I was working In
the garden, and the horse of ■ neigh
bor, Mrs. Morris, became excited, and I
ran out and quieted it down and looked
after it. When 1 came back my wife
suggested that I should so and call on
her."
Following testimony which showed
that Morehouse had left his wife of
his own accord, Attorney Simons made
a motion to dismiss the suit on the
ground that there has been no evidence
snowing desertion by the defendant
or that the plaintiff had given a suf
ficient cause why ho left Mrs. More
house.
The can was continued to next
Wednesday for argument.

FIGHT AGAINST LICENSE
ORDINANCE IS STARTED
Twenty Men Begin Circulation of
Referendum Petitions to
Submit New Law
Twenty men, under the direction of
Otto Rech. began work yesterday cir
culating referendum petitions to have
the new license ordinance submitted to
a vote of the people. The banks and
public utility corporations are especial
ly interested in the defeat of this ordi
nance, as its provisions greatly Increase
the license fees they will have to pay.
It is the plan to secure only a suffi
cient number of names to submit the
matter to a vote at the next general
election, and not at a special election,
unless the council chooses to place it
on the ballot at the election for coun
cilmen In June. If the operation of the
ordinance is suspended the old ordi
nance will be effective and the city
will get as much In license fees as it
doe 3 now.
READY TO CONTRACT FOR
COLLECTION OF RUBBISH
Board of Public Works Plans
Short-Term Arrangement
Hastily drawn specifications for the
collection of non-combustible rubbish
wen approved by the board of public
works yesterday and the board will
ask the council for authority to ad
vertise for bids under the specifications.
These call for a contract of only two
months' duration, by which time it is
expected the city attorney will be
ready to report on more comprehensive
specifications submitted to him by the
board February 4.
The two months' contract is neces
sitated by the refusal of the council
to permit the board to make any more
month to month contracts under the
emergency clause of the charter, as
has been done since last December.
The rubbish is now being huuliHl
by the Vernon Live Stock association
on the month to month contract, the
association furnishing ten teams and
wagons at $- a day each. Inspector
Humphreys believes that it will cost
more to advertise for bids, but the
mandate of the council must be
obeyed.
