hearing of the anti-ticket scalplng law
Of the state In 1894 the court rendered
a decision, unfolding the constitution

AFTER LONG SEARCH
Alberto Stoessel Heard From in
Central Mexico

About a year ago Mayor Snyder was
asked by the state department at Wash-
ington to use his endeavors to locate M.
and Mrs. Alberto Stoessel. The informa-
ton was desired by the Venezuelan gov
ernment. The Stoessels had been residents
of Los Angeles after coming from Central
America, and it was thought they could
be located here. The mayor found, how
ever that they had disappeared, and the
only evidence he could obtain went to
show that Mrs. Rosario Stoessel had died.
and that her husband had been last seen in
the City of Mexico.
The mayor informed the state depart
ment of the results of his investigations,
and heard nothing more of the matter until
today, when he received a letter from Dr.
Gated at Cuernava, Morelos, Mexico. The
writer stated that he became acquainted
with the Stoessels in Los Angeles. heard
of their mysterious disappearance, and the
search made for them. Later, while tour
ing in Mexico he met Alberto Stoessel at
San Vicente, where the latter is managing
the largest sugar cane works in southern
Mexico. Stoessel had heard nothing of the
quest for himself and is anxious to know
who wants him and why. The letter fails
to say whether Mrs. Stoessel is alive and
with her husband or not. The mayor will
communicate with the government au-
thorities.

FRIDAY MORNING CLUB
An Interesting Paper Read by Mrs
Rebecca Spring


In the absence of Mrs. Sartori the vice
president. Mrs. S. S. Salisbury, presided
at the Friday Morning club yesterday.
There was a large attendance of the men,
bers to listen to an exceptionally interest
ing paper read by Mrs. Rebecca B. Spring.
entitled Notes on Sweden and Story"
Mrs. Spring gave a sketch of the history
of Sweden and then read manuscript
sketch which has never been in print. Civ
en- to her by the writer, Hans Christian An
dersen, during a visit she made to Sweden
with her husband over fifty years ago. The
paper was supplemented by personal REM
iniscences of the speaker of visits made to
members of the reigning royal family and
the noted Swedish writer, Fredrika Bre-
mer, who was entertained at Mrs Spring $
home, Eagleswood, N. Y, during her visit
to this country.
The paper was exceedingly entertaining,
but the most remarkable thing in connec-
ton with it was the writer herself. Though
far into the sos. there are few people of a
quarter her years who can write as well.
With mental faculties as alert and bright
as they ever were and a memory that can
recall experiences of half century ago
and earlier. as If they occurred but yester-
day, she held the close attention of her
hearers till the close. Mrs. Springs voice
was heard distinctly to the farthest cor
ner of the ROOM a pleasure quite rare to
the members of the club with former read
ers.
