derstood that II Mrs. Holstrom would
give the mother $40. or rather the attend
ing physician. the former lady should
have undisputed possession of the child.
A written contract was drawn up to that
effect, but Mrs. Holstrom neglected to
take out the formal letters of guardian
ship or adoption.
About the first of February of this year
Sallle Mcguire, now Mrs. Dartney, went
to Mrs. Holstrom in San Francisco and
demanded possession of the child. Mrs.
Holstrom refus TO give up the little
girl, whereupon the mother applied to
Secre tary Kane OF the Society for the Pre-
vention Of Vice, and in company with this
official went to the Holstrom home and
forcibly took the child away from its
foster-mother. Mrs. Holstrom appealed
to the courts for the recovery of the child,
and an order was made directing Secre-
tary Kane to produce her in court
In the meantime Mrs. Dartney had
taken the child to Dixon, and when Officer
Kane went in search of her in order to
obey the order of the court, he was unable
to find the little girl, and he so reported
10 Judge Trout. A picture OF the child
appeared in The CALL of February 4, ana
1t was noted by people in Dixon that the
child whom Mrs. Dartney had in her pos
session bore striking resem blance to the
photograph.
Mrs Holstrom was apprised of this fact
and on Friday mornings train there ar
rived in Dixon couple of det- ctives and
Mr.. Holstrom, the husband OF the woman
who had the baby torn from her arms.
Mr.. Holstrom disguised himself as a
tramp and appeared at the Dartney home.
He was met at the door by Mrs. Dartney,
whom he asked for something to eat The
child was playing in one of the rooms
and while the mother went into the
kitchen to procure the supposed tramp
some food, he entered the room, gra abbed
the child and ran up the street.
The woman at once gave the alarm, an d
in abort while the streets were thronged
with people. The officer overlook the
kidnaper, but he would not give up the
child. The officials would not arrest him
on account OF the order of court demand
ing the child.
Mr.. Holstrom and the detectives boarded
south bound freight train for San Fran
cisco with the child, and Mrs. Dartney
followed on the overland train.
A legal contest for the possession of the
child will now follow.

A. D, MINER, president of the Iowa

They have arrived here to spy out the

the session here in July of the Endeavor-
ers throughout the country.
about 500 people will come from Iowa
to attend the meeting here" said Mr.. Kin
zer. There may bs more, but we are
figuring on that many anyway. Two
years ago, when the National meeting
was held at Boston, between 900 and 1000
people from Iowa attended. There has
for long time been desire on the part
OF our people TO come here. When the
last meeting was held at Washington q
good many who had originally thought OF
going there changed their minds and said
they should hold of and come TO San
Francisco.
Besides this some of the people of Iowa
who expected to come here this winter
have postponed their coming till July.
know dozen of such people, and out of
the dozen only three are coming now.
The remainder will take advantage of the
reduction in rates.
"The fare from the Missouri River and
return is S46, and for points east of there
to the Mississippi it is $46, and one fare
added. The rate from Chicago, as is no
doubt known, is SOL. These rates are in
ducing many people to come here. They
want TO see California, of whose great at-
fractions they have long heard.
I'VE want to get all our people located
if possible at one hotel. Since we expect
big crowd here We thought it was best to
come on and make arrangements in time"
The genLle men will be here for several
days. Mr.. Gillespie, who was here two
weeks ago from Pennsylvania to arrange
for accommodations for the people of that
State, will quarter them largely at the

OVER AN APPOINTMENT.
Controversy Coming to Head BetweeI
Teachers and chool Directors.

Controversy Coming to Head Between
Teachers and school Directors.
A controversy has been put on foot by
reason of the allegation by Principal
Elisha Brooks and teachers OF the Girls
High School that the appointment of Mrs.
Irene Reeves to be a teacher in that insti-
tuition was superfuous. President Bar
rington and Director Waller OF the Board
of Directors said yesterday that the direc-
tors acted strictly under the regulations of
the department, which limits the size OF a
class to forty pupils in the junior grades
in the high school.
According TO Principal Brooks last re-
port there are 253 pupils in the junior
grades, and, therefore, this calls for six
teachers. Moreover, Mr. Brooks requested
at the end of last year that another teacher
should be appointed to the Girls High
School. Therefore, said the directors. the
trouble is probably that the Girls High
School teachers are not opposed to another
feather, but only to one who was not their
choice.
