HEROIC WOMAN RESCUES
ANOTHER FROM DROWNING

OAKLAND, June 15.-But for the he
roic efforts of Mrs. M. F. Hudson, re-
siding at 141S Lake Shore avenue, Mrs.
Salinda Ford, living at Tenth avenue and
East Nineteenth street, would have per-
fshed beneath the murky waters of Lake
Merritt this morning.
Sixty-six years of usefulness have left
Mrs Ford infirm, and recent Illness has
caused temporary mental arrangement.
When she left home this morning she in
formed her daughters that she intended
visiting friends downtown. She was next
seen by Mrs. Hudson wading out into
Lake Merritt.
There was no one close at hand for Mrs.
Hudson to summon. so she proved herself
equal to the occasion by rushing into the
water and wading in to rescue the aged
woman, who had by this time sunk to
her waist. At the peril of her life and
after the greatest eXertion the heroic res
cuer succeeded in dragging Mrs. Ford to
the shore. She was afterward taken to
the Hudson residence, where dry and
warm clothing were supplied, so that she
could be removed to the Receiving Hos
pital
1t was supposed that Mrs Ford at
tempted to commit suicide, but her
daughters refute this theory and say that
she probably wandered to the lake un-
mindfully and that she becomes quite
childish at times and bewildered

Oakland Office San Francisco Call


COS Broadway, June Is.
There is in the city treasury the sum
of $4,000 which may be regarded as
surplus in the park and boulevard fund.
This sum is not a Lake Merritt dredging
fund, as commonly supposed but is avail
able for any purpose to. which the City
Council may elect to use it in conformity
with the park and boulevard act. There
is no such thing as a legal Lake Merritt
dredging fund; and as there is not at
this time any contract in existence call
ing for the expenditure of one cent of
this $53 900 there is nothing to hinder the
City Council from spending it on any
park or boulevard Improvement in the
city
Although there was a promise on the
part of the last Council that il would SO
far as possible see that the work begun
last year should be carried on by its sue
2eSSOTS, there are but four members OF
this Council who can be considered as
being pledged to the Improvement They
are CuVellier Glrard, Rowe and Upton.
The remaining seven are not in any way
bound by any acts Of the last Council.
Since this Council took Office the Lake
Merritt proposition has slumbered, with
the exception Of a speedy action taken
in resembling the ordinance appropriate
ing $50 600 more for building a storm sewer
in Cemetery Creek.
West Oakland is clamoring for i'm
proVements. the annexed district is en-
titled to something and East Oakland
wants something also. 1t would not be
surprising therefore If pressure were
brought to bear on the Council to at least
divide up the large sum of money raised
partly against popular Will for the pur-
pose of dredging Lake Merritt, especially
as the time is about to expire when it
was guaranteed that the lake improve
ments should be completed.

that her present troubles will but hasten
her end. In September 1892, she mort
gagged her home at 2222 Jackson street for
$1,000 in order to set Leo up in business.
In return for the loan of the money she
was to receive SIS a month out of the bust

and the suit is the result

"Leo's business transactions have been
questionable, to say the least. Two
months ago. in order to buy out his
brother Aaron. he took pledged goods out
of his store on Stockton street and re-
pledged them with the Baldwin Jewelry
Company for s10,S00. When he was on
had been left to be repaired, with the
pawnbroker, J. L. Franklin.
He has made $1,000 out of the money

the facts and can be verified"

HEAVY PENALTY
EXACTED FROM
MRS. GRIMM
Is ShOrn of Children
and Property.
PRICE OF HER MISDEEDS
SURRENDERS ALL TO GAIN HER
LIBERTY.
Deserted by the Companions Who
Were Responsible for Her
Downfall She Seeks to
Shield Them.

ALAMEDA, June 15-Mrs Mamie
Grimm, the woman who deserted her four
little children, has paid the penalty OF her
heartlessness. She has sacrificed her all
to save from notorie-y the male Compan-
ions with whom she cOnsorted while her
little ones were starving. This morning
the woman was before a court of justice
TO answer charge IF cruelty to children.
This evening she is free to go where she
Will, but the price of her liberty was her
home and her lttle ones. She paid that
penalty that the unSavory scandal sur
rounding her and her companions might
not be made public property, and that her
associates might not he hauled into court
10 testify their associations with her. She
IS cast out upon the world, fOrsaken by
those who dragged ner down and who go
unpublished, while she plods on with her
burden of sorrow and shame.
Before Mrs Grimm was brought into
court this morning 10 plead to the charge
against her she consulted with Attorney
T.. *. Taylor. Later the representatives
uf the Eureka Society for the Protection
of Children, which has charge of her little
ones, had a long interview W tn Mr.. Tay-
lor As a result Mrs Grimm was ad-
Nised that unless she relinquished all
claim on her children her prosecution for
the manner in which she had treated
them would be vigorous, and that Joseph
MCIsaac. a man named Walters and an
other companion named Jensen would be
forced 10 testify i'm the case and that
punishment would also be melted out TO
them.
Mrs. Grimm made an unconditional sur
render. She Joined in the petition of Z.
/. Wadham, secretary OF the Eureka So
Ciety, that he be appointed guardian Of
the children and agreed to turn her prop
erty over TO the society in trust for her
babes. When she had consented to this
proposition the charges against her were
dismissed.
The property consists of valuable Park
street realty, on which are two good
dwellings,. 1t is proposed to put them in
repair and rent them.
The police have notified Mrs. Grimm
that if she stays In Alameda she must
walk the straight and narrow path, or
they will not hesitate 10 arrest her. They
also propose to arrest the man McIsaac,
who is the cause Of her present Difficult
city limits of Alameda. He Will be
CHARGED with NagranCN.

gan for Moriarty His downfall is at
tributed to the race track.
For a long time Moriarty has been IN
a position of trust, one section of the
large store being completely under his
jurisdiction. 1t is alleged that he has for
some time past taken advantage of the
confidence of his employers to steal sums
of money paid into the firm and for which
he should have accounted. These sums
range from 81 90 TO $50 and only after
thorough examination of the accounts can
ii be learned how much Mr.. MOrartys
accounts are short.
Moriarty has always enjoyed the repu-
tation of being strictly honorable, and he
has during the past eight years been
steadily promoted in the company on ac-
count of his diligence and ability.

lieved that he knows his defalcations

from the firm three weeks ago and since

The system pursued by Moriarty was
very petty one and consisted in pOcketing
the deposits made of lady customers in
