News of the Courts
DR PRICE'S FINANCIAL
DEALS PROBED IN COURT
Effort Is Made to Collect Judg
ment from Wife of Long
Beach Psychologist
The trial of the ease of J. M. Sewell
against Mrs. Mary L, Price, in which
the plaintiff is trying to learn Why ho
cannot collect a judgment for $u.:t>.lS
against the defendant's husband, Dr.
"VV. R. Price, psychologist and stock
promoter of Long Beach, was begun
yesterday before Judge Hervcy of the
superior court.
Sewell purchased from Dr. Price a
large block of stock in the National
Gold Dredging company and later, on
the ground that the stock had been sold
to him under misrepresentations, ob
tained a judgment for $772t>.1b against
the psychologist.
Obtaining the Judgment was far dif
ferent from obtaining the money, ac
cording to Sewell, who declare! that all
he has been able to collect is $3.55 and
that only with the aid of officers.
He declares that Dr. Price has
transferred all of his property, in
cluding a valuable home at Long
Beach, deposits in the Citizens Saving*
bank of Long Beach and 245 shares "i
stock in the Building Association of
the Society of New or Practical Psych
ology, valued e.t $2450, to Mrs. Price.
He asks the court to set aside all of
the alleged assignments of possessions
to Mrs. Price by Dr. Price and to order
her not to dispose of the property.
WOMAN TELLS OF LOANS
Sewell makes the further allegations
that Dr. Price has given Mrs. Hannah
Cushing a mortgage on the Long
Beach home for $7000 to secure her
against loss because of monely loaned
to her. Sewell asserts that Mrs. Cush
ing never has been in a position to
make such loans. On the witness
stand, however, Mrs. Cushing testified
about many of her financial transac
tions, declaring that through Dr. Price
she had loaned $2000 on property in San
Francisco owned by Mrs. Price, obtain
ing 5 per cent Interest on her money.
"Did you not know that you could
obtain 8 per cent?" queried an attorney.
"In some cases," answered Mrs.
■ Cushing, "but I prefer a safe 5 per cent
to a doubtful 8 per cent."
In response to more questions, Mrs.
Cushing admitted that another loan
she had made through Dr. Price was
that of $4000 to the psychologist's
friend, Clinton Johnson, in March, I'JIO,
with Interest at 8 per cent, payable in
advance.
It Is to the Clinton Johnson named
by Mrs. Cushing that Sewell asserts
Dr. Price, to avoid an attachment,
transferred 1400 shares of stock In the
Building Association of the Society of
New or Practical Psychology.
Among the witnesses on the stand
yesterday was Mrs. Price, who asserted
that the property given to her husband
was in payment of $12,000 which, when
she was 18 years old, she obtained from
the estate of her father and which she
then turned over to her husband.

ACTION OVER OIL LAND
LEASE GOES TO TRIAL
Plaintiff Alleges Terms of Con
tract Were Violated
Trial of the action of H. C. Hullinger
to obtain damages of $59,850 from the
Big Sespe Oil company was begun yes
terday before Judge Cole of Imperial,,
sitting for Judge Moss in department
ten of the superior court.
Hullinger asserts he arranged for a
lease of ICO acres of alleged oil proven
land in Ventura county from the de
fondant in the action, agreeing to pay
$1 i.OOO and a one-eighth royalty for it.
He entered into the lease, he said, with
the belief that there were on the prop
erty an oil well producing fifty barrels
a pipeline to transportation
facilities and mechanism needed for
his successful operations.
The plaintiff avers that after he had
paid $2000 on the lease ho learned that
the defendant could not give him a
lease of the ground because it had
ar title, possessing only a mining
claim location. He also avers that
there was no oil well on the property
and that the machinery which he cx
i ected to use was also lacking.
Another allegation is that he con
tracted with the defendant for 10,000
barrels of oil if his operation of the
land did not prove successful and that
the other party to the contract did not
keep up to its terms. Because he was
unable to supply oil to fill orders for
which he had arranged and because oi
his consequent loss, he wants dam
ages of $59,850.
GUARDIAN IS NAMED TO

medium; $5000 to Mrs. Lola Swi'iag, a
believer in the same cult, and $2000 to
Miss Lottie Livingstone, a school
teacher, then residing In Pasadena.

three bequesta would have had to be
satisfied before the dlstrlbutfoa of the
major part of his estate to his broth
ers and Bister. The latter, however,
brought a contest, alleging thac Smith
was under the influence of the spli it
ualists when he made his will. The

that racea are frequently held there on
Sundays and that when this occurs the
entire neighborhood has to vacato be
cause of the noise which, it is said,
can bo heard for a mile and which,
near at hand, sounds like a continual

have to buy a lumber yard if tins is
to be dene, and then added that the
automobilista would object strenuously.
"Well, let 'em," rejoined the general;
"and so far as the lumber yard is con
cerned, I thought we bad one now."

REMOVAL OF GRAVEL IS
MENACING CITY BRIDGES
City Must Expend $30,000 for
Repairs Unless Practice
Ends, Official Reports
According to City Engineer Homer
Ilamlin, the city soon will be called
upon to expend something like $30,000
to reconstruct the underpinning and
piers of bridges across the Los An
geles river, and all because from 700
to 1000 cubic yards of sand and gravel
are being taken from the river bed
every working day in the year for
use in building operations.
The city charges nothing for this
material, though a rule is enforced
prohibiting excavating within a cer
tain specified distance of bridge piers.
The city engineer, however, says that
this requirement will serve only as a
temporary expedient. He explains I
that so much material is being taken j
from the river bed that the level is j
materially lowered and each flood, he j
says, will wash more and more of the
protecting sand and gravel from the I
pier foundations into the excavations j
lower down stream. Ultimately, Mr. j
Hamlin says, this will lead to serious
trouble.
The matter came before the board
of public works yesterday in the
shape of a suggestion from Commis
sioner Humphreys that the city coun
cil be asked to adopt an ordinance
prohibiting the use of the sand and
gravel for any but building purposes.
The objection to the plan, Mr. Humph
reys confessed, was that a stretch of
live miles of river bed would have to
be covered by inspectors, and he sug
gested meeting this expense by charg
ing a nominal fee for the material re
moved. He said that comparatively
little material probably is being used
for purposes other than building oper
ations at the present time, but thought
it would do no harm to safeguard the
future.
Subsequently it developed that the
ordinance was desired to prevent the
use of river bed sand and gravel to
construct the approaches of the Buena
Vista street bridge and as a compro
mise it was decided to , change the
specifications for that work so that
other materials will be required for
this purpose.

The other occupants of the automo
bile were W. A. Bowers, proprietor of
the Brennan hotel in South Main street;
Charles Johnson and Miss Elsie Clark.
Johnson and Miss Clark said they were
living at the Brennan hotel.
The occupants of the automobile told
the police they were unable to explain
the accident. The express car, in
charge of Conductor Delbridge, they
said was standing on a siding at Daly
and East Main. It is believed the
driver of the machine tried to make the
crossing without making sufficient al
lowance for the length of the express
car, resulting in his striking its ex
treme end. The machine was demol
ished.
Bowers, Johnson and Miss Clark es
caped without injury.

woman met her Waterloo at one of the
beach resorts last evening. What start

thought she had gone mad. It was
only when Special Officer Bush came
on the scene that he was able to trun

her taken to Gatlln Institute on Grand

restored to reason. She will remain at
