"There is a woman here who is coaxing
young girls away from home" said Mrs.
NJ. Collins yesterday, land she has my

Mrs. Collins was much excited and was
hunting Officer Wright of the Humane
Society in the hope that he could rescue
her child before it was too late to save her
continued Mrs. Collins, met this woman
some time ago. The woman calls herself
Mrs. Rizier and says she lives on West

fear that the girl has gone wrong or will
go wrong unless quickly rescued and
want the police to get her even if she has
to be sent to Whittier
The complaint of Mrs. Collins is not the
first one that has reached Officer Wright
regarding women who are making it their
business in this city to entice young girls
away from home. The police are anxious
to reach the woman or women engaged in
this business and it will go hard with the
first one they locate against whom proof
can be brought to convict. The women
who are enticing young girls from home
never allow the misguided children-for
thew are but little more-to step aside from
the straight path while they are here. By
this means they are enabled to come into
court when arrested and say the girls told
them they were illtreated at home, and
that they took them in to keep them from
harm. It is believed that Caddie Collins,
if found, will furnish the connecting link
in chain of evidence the police have
been welding for some time.
Mrs. Collins says she is not surmising,
but knows the woman whose name she
has given to the police enticed her daugh-

God What pitiful mockery
Seems this poor human speech,
TO paint the marvellous majesty
That my life desi .ns to reach.
God how much less than my death
Is this outspoken tongue
To grasp the glorious hymn Of fai h
Which my soul and have sung.
Oh but for the lips OF living FIRE
That breathe my RECT heart,
And fash the tones from my spirit Tyre
In the voice with which they start!
Oh but the language that would scorch
The pit where the foul shames dwell
And CLEAN and glare like flaming torch
To the deepest graves of hell
oh for an utterance that would sweep
Like the red, hot-lipped simeon,
And wither the damning things that keep
This beautiful world in gloom.
Oh for voice whose tones should fall
Like the touch Of a mothers prayer
On the sick and Borrowing souls OF all
Who pine for holier air.
oh if my passiona scorn of wrong
And my fathomless love of right
And the beautiful hopes that thrill and tn ron,
My soul like the stars of night
Oh, if but these could pass my lips
In the might with which they rise,
How I'd tear and trample the black eclipse
That shroudeth my aching eyes.
Oh, Christ! for boundless Pentecost
To rest on my hearing soul
And give it speech OF the Holy Ghost
Instead of this stammering dole
Then, Jesus, the lofty hymn sublime
I'd fling on iife's painting sea
Should ring on the painting shores of Time
And thrill thro' Eternity.

HABEAS CORPUS DISMISSED
A Police Trick Calls for the Severe Censure of
Judge Shaw

G. B. Gray and william Harris, two
young men accused of several burgaries,
were brought before Judge Shaw yester-
day on a writ of habeas corpus alleging
that they were unlawfuly held by the
Chief of Police without warrant OF law.
Judge Shaw said that there had been
an evident attempt made at the city
prison to evade the law in the service of
the writ and that he did not want it to
occur again. This had been done by the
police turning over it's prisoners to the
Sheriff when it was found out that a
writ of habeas corpus had been issued.
Judge Shaw as exceedingly indignant at
it being shown by Deputy District Attor-
ney Willis that the prisoners had been
properly committed for trial examination
by Justice Owen.

How a Landlord Gets Rid Of

A good story Is told Of we'll

ing any amount of trouble during
the hard times tocollect rents from
his tenants. There was certain
man with n large family, who had
occupied Il part Of one Of his hous-
es in the suburbs for Il number Of
years. The man was thoroughly
honest but down on his luck. The
landlord bore the loss of his rent
with considerable fortitude until
he thought II was some one else's
turn to help the fellow n little; then
he went to him one day and told
him, with all seriousness, that he
was intending to give the house a
going over; 1t was out Of repair;
aud he had decided to eXpend q lit
tie money on u and make some i'm
portant alterations, and, AS itlwould
be some expense for the man to
move, he generously offered to or
der II team and settle the bill him.
self. The matter was arranged
with the utmost friendliness on
both sides, and the landlord went
his way, feeling quite little like
the celebrated Pharisee. A week
later he asked his agent about some
flats that had been empty for a
month or two. Cali rented said
the agent, and he named the par
ties. whereupon the landlord imme-
diately descended to the plane Of
publicans and sinners. When he
had recovered himself sufficiently
to talk English, he proceeded to in
form the astonished agent that one
of his acquisitions was the man he
had just moved ut his own expense
out of the house in the suburbs.
