WENT ON TO NEW YORK
Mrs. Lou Jameson Will Join Arthur
Turner in That City
Social Sensation Which Stirred All British
Columbia Revived by the Movements
Of the Fair Lady

Mrs. Lou Jameson passed through the
city yesterday en- route to New York, where
it is reported she will be joined by Arthur
Turner, the son of the premier of British
Columbia, with whom she fled from her
home in Victoria to the City of Mexico. At
the time of the departure of the couple the
event caused great sensation. After ar
irving in the City of Mexico Turner de-
serted Mrs. Jameson, or at least left her,
some say with her consent. She returned
to British Columbia and Turner went on to
London where it was reported that his fa-
ther had secured for him a responsible po-
sition as the London representative of the
Bank of British Columbia. The only con-
dition under which he obtained the trust
was that he give Miss Jameson up forever.
But it would seem that according to latest
reports, the young man had decided to
give up the foreign post and again fly to
his lady love. -.
Mrs. Jameson, when approached yester-
day, denied her identity, but one passen-
ger on the train had succeeded in gaining
her confidence, and to him she had ad-
mitted who she was.
There was a story current that the wom-
an was going to remain in Los Angeles, but
she did not leave the train, and when it de-
parted she was one of the passengers.

ABERNATHlE Is A SCOUNDREL

The Story Of a Simple Disappearance Was
Told to Shield Him
Abernathie is a scoundrel and an alb.
sconder. A lady, whose name is withheld
by request, read in yesterdays HERALD
the account of William Abernathie's dis.
appearance, and volunteered information,
which threw quite different light Oh the
departure of the young man.
Mrs. Hilliet was seen again and in the
presence of the lady, her only friend in
California, made the following statement:
'sWhen l left Dallas, Texas, | handed to
Willie 500 and the two tickets Which
had purchased. / also had bought him a
suit of clothes and a mackintosh. Arriv-
ing in Los Angeles he told me, that the
had cost fully $500. 1 thought it very
high sum, but still never suspected my
nephew of doing any wrong, or of robbing
me.
"He deposited the remaining $500 in his
own name in bank here, and when / in
sisted, advised by my landlady, that the
money should be deposited in my name,
he brought me $500, telling me, that he
would keep $500. in order to have ready
money on hand to pay down, in case he
should find good opportunity to start me
in bli.iness. That is the last l have seen
OF him. | made the statement yesterday,
fearing he may be arrested, and not want
ing to disgrace the child of my sister, l
shielded him by story, which was not
true
Mrs. Hilliet is an elderly lady, consump-
tive in high degree. having to support
two little girls, one of years the other of
only 8, which fact makes the crime of
William Abernathie doubly miserable.

THE COUNCIL TODAY

President Tced May Take Things Very
Lively
The city council will meet in regular
weekly session today. and will consider the
protest against the proposed Strengthening
of Sixteenth street. The improvement is
in Councilman Kingery's ward, and he is
very much interested IN seeing it under
way. There is considerable opposition,
however. among some of the property
owners interested. The majority of those
Affected insist that the street should be
Strengthened out, and that the thing will
have to be done sooner or later.
President iced will today probably make
public denial of the charge made a few
dogs ago in the Republican papers of this
city, that he had AM interest in certain
team of horses at work in the street de-
partrnent. In connection with the matter
Colonel Teed will take occasion to pay his
respects to the street department as the
same is now and is alleged to have always
been conducted by it's present head.
The new bids for street sweeping will be
opened today, and Councilman Snyder will
furnish an additional chapter in the ceme-
terry war, by moving that the old Odd Fell
lows cemetery in the second ward be at
once abandoned.
The oil inspector is to be hauled over the
Goals today, with the powerful argument
that not enough license money has been or
is being collected to pay his salary.
Councilman George d. Pessell may be in
his seat today, after an absence of several
weeks.

DOING A NOBLE WORK

The Florence Home, What It is For and Its
Needs
The Florence home, the Offices of which
are at 3O4T South Los Angeles street, is
an incorporated institution for the saving
of erring girls. BY its rules home is pro-
vided for the woman who is homeless aid
friendless and tired of the life she has been
leading, as we'll as the young girl who is
just being enticed into traps set by the
vicious.
Such homes have been established all
over the land by Charles N. Crittenden.
The property for the one in Los Angeles
was given to Southern California by Rev.
w. G. Stevens and wife three years ago.
Eternity alone can reveal the good that
has been accomplished in this home. 1t is
supported by free-will offerings and SUBJ
scriptions. Donations of any food or cloth
ing for women are always acceptable. The
home has girls who are not able to go out
to work, who have to be clothed and board
ed. From this home girls have gone into
honorable places of employment, while
some are in mission work. Having re.
turned to the sweets of pure life they are
anxious to save others.
The Florence home is unsectarian and
richly deserves sympathy and support.
The board of directors are: 2. f. Bresee,
president; Rev. w. &. Stevens, Rev. c. H.
Westenberg, Mr.. John Low. c. A. Jeffers,
M. G. Sperrow and Rev. G. n. Crittenden.
The Rev. j. w. Ellsworth is superintendent
and Mary r. Hilbish manager.

L. e. Crosby and F. T. Tuttie were ar
rested at the Virginia house, on Olive
street, opposite Central park, by Officer
Long Saturday evening, on warrants charg-
ing them with misde meanor. The COM
plants were sworn to by the landlady of
the Virginia, and she claims that the men
have defrauded her of their board bill,
amounting to about $50. The men repre-
sented lhat they are here as the agents of
a school furniture establishment in San
Francisco, and that certain money was due
them which, when received, would enable
them to liquidate their bill. The money
failed to be produced at the promised time,
so firing of waiting, the proprietor of the
house brought the criminal action.

COUNCIL WILL INQUIRE

Colonel Shrelber's City Hall Job Is to Be
Looked Into
The Office of Col. w. g. Shredder, com
missioner for the opening and widening OF
streets, will be the subject of inquiry IN
the city council today. The colonel has
been accused during the past week OF hav-
ing upon at least one occasion overcharged
for work done.
Several members of the council have
since then expressed themselves as being
anxious to know all about the charges
made. Shredder is not, as is generally sup
posed, regular employee of the city. Be-
ing more or less familiar with the nature
of the work, every commission appointed
by the council for the opening or the widen-
ing of the public streets of the city has
simply appointed him as it's secretary. The
city simply furnishes office room. The
colonel's position nets him between $75
and 500 a month.

In this connection it must not be forgot
ten that the grand jury insists that Mr..
Ward must pay up S17OO more to square
himself with the county, but which that
long-suffering official has refused to yield
up. No action has yet been taken to force
him to do SO, though there may be SO me
developments this week.
AS to Mr.. Seaver. it is now said that he
positively refuses to testify before the
grand jury or to tell anything whatever
about the Lowrey matter. He is simply
standing ''pat' and saying nothing, but
whether this action on his part has any
thing to do with his ''resignation" is not
known.

MAYNE GOES TO SAN DIEGO
Celebrated Dealer in Franchises to Make
Revelations to a Grand Jury.
Legal Complications Which Surround His
Release on Bail and His Removal
to San Diego to Testify

Tomorrow, Superior Judge Smith will be
called upon to decide whether or not the
showing that has been and will be made to
him is sufficient to warrant him in issuing
an order directing that Clifton E. Mayne
be admitted to bail.
In the event that Judge Smith refuses to
admit Mayne to bail any justice of the
state supreme court can Issue an order to
that effect and can appove a bond offered
in tho amount that the justice has previous
ly fixed.
OF course in case like Mayne's, the
judge approving the bond would have to be
furnished with very strong evidence that
the sureties offered were good for the
amount for which they signed.
The San Diego deputy sheriff, who is
here with subpoena from the San Diego
county grand jury directing Sheriff Burr to
produce Mayne there on Tuesday to testify
before that body as to the alleged corrupt
methods adopted to put through the water
of the Southern California Mountain Water
company, is having hard time. 1t is
asserted on good legal authority that Sheriff
Burr will be compelled to recognize the
subpoena. The sheriff is the sole custo-
dian of Mayne. The superior court of this
county has no jurisdiction over him further
than to issue an order admitting him to
bail. Judge Smith has allowed the writ of
probable cause in Mayne's case, and the
matter has passed to the supreme court. If
Sheriff Burr does take Mayne to San Diego
he will have to go with him or send one of
his deputies, for he cannot at any time or
under any circumstances permit the pris-
oner to be out of his custody.
If Judge Smith admits Mayne to bail to-
day, then the whole matter will be simple
fled. Mayne's attorneys announce that
they are prepared to give bail at once. In
that event Mayne would be served directly
by the subpoena of the San Diego county
grand jury Inen aefaot1 ne ,1na cHnld go easily
fact says that he would be only too glad to
60 down and tell the grand jury all that he
knows.
Mayne's physical condition yesterday
was for the worse. If it does not improve
it will be impossible for him to go to San
Diego or any other place. He will not be
able to leave the Jail.
