BANK ACCOUNT
PROVES A MYTH
Halter Korn Asks Police
to Apprehend S.
@. Pardee.
Former Oakland Society Star
Issues More Bogus
Checks.

S. c. Pardee, formerly attorney for the
Fidelity and Casualty Company in this
city and q shining light in Oakland's eX-
elusive society until the Oakland trades
men that objected to cashing checks of
q purely autographs value made the city
of churches too warm for him, is once
more in town and again exchanging
worthless paper for coin of the realm
Eugene Korn, the halter at 726 Market
street, yesterday turned over to Captain
of Detectives Seymour Pardee's dishon-
ored check for $25. Korn is out hat and
$14 80. The police are looking for Pardee.
Pardee has been customer Of Korn's
for some time. Pardee's check record was
unknown to the halter, and when few
days ago the insurance man dropped in,
bought a hat spoke about wanting lit
tie change, wrote check for S2o, pay
able TO self, on the Anglo-California
Bank, indorsed the paper and carelessly
threw it on Korn's counter, the man that
sells hats fastened to oblige his genial
patron by counting out the change.
The check was returned with a big mo
funds" stamped across its face. Korn
did little Investigating, and in spite of
the fact that Pardee was such nice,
well-mannered gentleman and an old Gus
toner decided that probably the Police
Department could assist him in recover
ing at any rate his change.
Although no other cases have been re-
ported to the police, it is pretty certain
Pardee has always been impartial when
in the mood for distributing his auto
graphic orders on imaginary bank ac-
counts.
When in Oakland Pardee was a member
Of the Athenian Club and cut wide
sWath in acroSs-the-bay society. His
careless distribution Of checks, however,
brought him into disrepute and he was
obliged to leave the town. Charles
Scharn, proprietor of the Maison de
POpera, was one of his Oakland victims
Pardee's next public appearance was
about month ago, when he was arrested
In Stockton for passing worthless check
for $50. He made good the amount and
avoided prosecution. He has returned to
San Francisco, and as he is an industri-
Gus young man the police expect to find
his trail well Uttered with his paper or

The loss of time, especially in wet wealth
er, has often been source of complaint,
and it was to remedy this that the COM
pany decided to PIT on the extra express
train. This will relieve the pressure
caused by congested traffic at time
when it is most needed, and at the same
time greatly improve the service for the
residents along the Berkeley route.
The lack of half-hour trains to and from
Berkeley proved source of annoyance
to the residents of the university town
for many years. People who CHANGED to
miss the hourly trains were compelled to
wait an hour or take the electric car for
Oakland and make the half-hour train at
Broadway. Numerous meetings of citi-
zeEs-were held, at which memorials ad-
dressed to the Southern Pacific We're
drawn and presented to the great corpOr-
alton. The matter was repeatedly brought
to the attention of the late Coils P. Hunt
iIgton. but after visiting Berkeley he de-
cided that the petition for half-hour trains

one, whose gurgling laughter finds an
echo in the voice of every member of
the family.
The question is, are the conditions
which determined the strength or weak
ness of the child unalterable? Is it
possible that a mother who has borne
several children and lost them all be-
cause of inherent weakness, can be so
strengthened that her children shall be
healthy and hardy?

Big BABIES.
HEALTHY CHILDREN MAKE
HAPPY MOTHERS.

No baby ever came into the world,
however weak and frai1, but held as its
birthright the precious dover of a
mothers priceless love. But love can
do so little for the weakling child except
pity it and sorrow for its help1essness,
that the mother who had looked forward
to the care of her child with happy an
ticipation finds it task that tests her
devotion, to care for puny, fretful,
wailing baby.
