AN ACCOMPLISHED FIBBHR
Walter Gilbert, the Abandoned Boy, Returned
to His Father

to His Father
Little 12-year-old Walter Gilbert. who
was brought to the police station on Friday
night as lost boy, and whose narrowing
tale of woe was told in yesterdays issue,
has proved himself prevaricator of no
small dimensions. Walter told how a man
had brought him all the way from Illinois,
taken him to hotel here and finally aban-
doned him after two days. He said that
his father and mother were dead and he
was homeless and frendless.
Seeing the article in THE HERALD, w. G..
Gilbert yesterday called at the station to
secure his runaway offspring. Gilbert is a
gardener who lives on Pico Heights near
Western avenue. The boy was his son,
who left home Friday morning last to go to
school and did not return. Last Mon
day Walter disappeared and did not come
home at night. On Tuesday he showed up
and said that he had been down town with
a man at a restaurant and had stayed all
the time with him. He would not tell who
the man was nor were the restaurant was
located, but simply said he had been there
and was sent home by the man.:
On Wednesday both father and son were
working in a field near home, when Gilbert
saw man walk up and talk with the boy.
When he had gone he asked Walter who
it was, and was told that it was his restau.
rant friend. Friday morning Walter
started to school, and the same evening
was picked up on the streets by a police.

terday. The boy still refuses to disclose
the name of the man who enticed him
away from home, but Gilbert remembers
his face and thinks he knows where he can
locate him. When the rate father does
find him there will be trouble. Walter
was taken home, and by this time is prob
ably very sore and tender in the region

enormous. In fact, no one knows eX-

England does not own majority OF the
shares, yet it's income from this source

Drnuth at New York.

New YORK, March 29.-The Raines
liquor bill was not enforced in this city
today because Chief of Police Conlin and
the corporation counsel we're in doubt as
to whether the bill goes into effect before
April so. The saloons, as usual, were
closed to strangers, and many keepers
closed their doors entirely. At the Uni
versity, Union League and other prominent
clubs drinks could be had the same as
usual, but it was said that next Sunday the
bars will be closed.
The Raines law went into force in Brook
lyn today. The mandate had gone forth
from the police commissioners and the dis
trict attorney that the law would he strictly
enforced and every saloonkeeper within
the jurisdiction of the police was COM
manded to comply with such provision.
That they did SO was apparent. Saloons
side doors and all--were closed. Never in
its history has the city experienced such a
dry Sunday. The restaurants and clubs
were just as dry as the saloons.
