of the bank holding the roadbcd The next
season 1t was. found the wall had been

plank away from the lake. To n boy of an
inluiring turn OF mind the whole operation
WAS plain. The expansion of the Ice had
done 1t. The bank there was sloping, quite
so; 1t was easy for this great force to slide
the wall along. At Madison, however much
1t might slide the boulders against the
blum. they fell back into the water.
Now suppose the slope to be Just the right
angle between these two, so that the force
would lift the stones by sliding one under
the other. and yet not let them fall back.
You will have the conditions for lake wall.

A YOUNG PILFERER
Whose Plea of Guilty Judge Allen
Would Not Receive

A rather ragged urchin, about IA years
old, who answered to the name of John
Ellis, was before Judge Allen yesterday
afternoon. Deputy District Attorney
McComas had just filed against him an
information wherein he was charged
with petty larceny in having stolen
plumbing material valued at $5 and the
fact of prior conviction for stealing
eighteen newspapers was also set forth.
Mr.. McComas was about to read the
information but first leaned over and
asked the boy if he wanted, an attorney
to represent him. The youth said mo"
do you want to plead guilty?"
Yes. sir"
Mr.. McComas then proceeded to read
the information the charge set forth in
which, with the prior conviction
amounted to a felony, and rendered the
defendant a certain candidate for the
states prison. But Judge Allen wouldn't
have it. He stated. that he wouldn't ac-
cept the plea, and appointed Attorney
j. Marion Brooks, who was present in
court, to represent the boy. Mr.. Nc
Comas stated that he had intended to

who lives between Clearwater and Long
Beach, on approval. If the girl, after
months trial, proved tractable, then it
was understood that she would be
adopted by the Hagers. Mrs. Watson
stated that when the girl was sent to the
Hagers in February she lost jurisdiction
of her and that assertion gave Attorney
Ladd, representing the mother of the
girl, occasion to put some rather peril
nent questions to Mrs. Watson. Judge
Allen held, however, that as Mrs. Wat
son had not got the custody of the
child she certainly was not the one re-
sponsible. There having been no adop-
tion or proceeding in court the mother
was entitled to the custody of her child,
but the writ had been misdirected.
Mr. Ladd complained, however, that
Mrs. Watson had refused to furnish any
information regarding the whereabouts
of the girl when asked. Thereupon Mrs
Watson stated that when she places
children out on approval she makes a
practice of never directing the relatives
of the child to its new home, as in such
case trouble is almost inevitable. Mr..
Gard, who has returned to his family,
received that information five weeks ago
but was not content with any such expla-
nation, and after exhausting ordinary
avenues of information the habeas cor
pus proceedings were instituted. Now a
new writ will be sent out against the

ABANDONED CHILDREN
Placed Out without the Consent of
Parents or Friends

Habeas corpus proceedings have been
as numerous lately as blackberries in
season. Yesterday it was the case of
Bertha c. Gard that had to be inquired
into. About a year ago the head of the
Gard family went away leaving his wife
with a family OF children on her hands
The poor woman could not provide for
them and they became scattered, but :.
was discovered that the girl Bertha, :.
14-year-old girl had been entrusted to
the care Of Mrs Watson, superintendent
Of the Boys and Girls Aid society, and the
writ was directed against her.
Mrs. Watson, however appeared in
court by herself and did not produce in
court the body of Bertha C. Gard" as
commanded, and so she went upon the
witness stand and told just how it was.
The girl was brought to her last De-
cember by neighbor of Mrs. Cards,
representing that the children had been
abandoned. The child was taken into
the home and later Bertha was placed
with the family of Mr.. James Hager,

AN IRATE FATHER
Who Refuses to Yield to the Son His
Inheritance

John j. Gardiner can hardly be termed
a lucky man. He skipped out from
Phoenix, AriZ., to avoid certain, compli-
cations in a civil suit, and came to Los
Angeles. Here ne has become involved
in criminal proceeding that will posi-
bly, be even more unpleasant to him than
if he had remained at home in Phoenix
1t appears that Mr.. Gardiner is in
volyed in. litigation in the territory with
his son, John NJ. Gardiner, over an in
heritance which the latter claims is due
to him and which his father refuses to
turn over. The court ordered deposit
tions taken, and when that order of
court was made, the father quietly
packed his grip and came to Los An
geles, where the son has been residing.
The operation of the law was not to be
curtailed in this fashion, however. and
an order was obtained the other day
from Judge Allen that old man Gar
dener's deposition be taken here, and
service was obtained upon him. The
old gentleman-not so old, however, for
he is only Sc years of age-is large and
powerful, and unfortunately posse sseG
of an ungovernable temper. When he
understood how he had been caught in
a legal trap he became very mad.
The son, in company with his wife and
her sister and their three girls, children
of 9, 10, and IA years respectively, hap
pened to pass the father on the street,
and the latter, presumably boiling with
rage, leaned over and spat in his sons
face and passed on. The insult was open
and witnessed by all of those present
Knowing the temper of his father, the
son did not feel by any means certain
that violence might not be offered tc
him, and so yesterday he swore out 6
complaint in the district attorneys of
flee charging his father with assault. A
warrant was issued by Justice Young ant
doubtless the old man will be placed un
der bonds to keep the peace.
