"For Her children's Sake.

To see "For Her Children's Sake, -
which comes to the Colonial Theatre
Thursday. September 10, means that
you will see it again, so impressively
and profoundly is one touched by the
Importance and newness that Theodore
Kremer has shown in this great melo-
drama. The story savors of the hearth
stone, is reminiscent of "Hazel Kirke'
and Little Lord Fauntleroy, and is
a far better acting and dramatic piece
than 1.-THE Fatal Wedding"

Late Aylesbury Prisoner
Arrives at New York
on the Liner Vaderland
GRATEFUL TO FRIENDS
Lavish in Her Thanks to
Those That StrOve Unceas-
ingly for Her Release

NEW YORK. Aug. 23.-On board
the Red Star Line steamship Vader-
land, which arrived to-day from Ant

England. Mrs. Maybrick gave out the
following statement:
Il regret that the state Of my
prevent my talking TO my friends Of
the American press at this time as
should like. To them and TO my fell
low countrymen and women 1 am
deeply indebted for their efforts in
my behalf and I take this means Of ex-
pressing my everlasting gratitude as
well as words can, and also to thank
them for their congratulations on my
release, which regret have not been
able, personally, to acknowledge"
Mrs. Msybrick had expected to leave
the ship AZ quarantine last night, but
the plans went awry. and she remained
on her until the Vaderland docked to-
day.
The immigration authorities made no
attempt to question Mrs. Maybrick and
the customs officers did all in their
power 10 expedite the taking of her
declaration and the passing Of her bag
gage. Deputy Surveyor Bishop had
met the ship down the by and took
charge OF things and z special in
spector was detailed to examine her
baggage in her stateroom. The de-
parture Of the party from the ship
proved somewhat Of an ordeal, owing
70 4 large crowd Of the curious. and it
took the strenuous detective sergeants
70 get IL TO the carriages. The crowd,
however, was very orderly and made
no demonstration.
She left the pier on the arm Of Mr..
Hayden. What the curious crowd saw
was q slight, short woman with a thin.
worn face and a r. ass Of brown hair
The simple gown OF a small black and
white pattern Of silk fitted her closely
and was fastened at the waist with a
wide black belt. The only bit Of color
an her costume was Z heliotrope rib
bon and z flower Of the same hue in
her hat She was unveiled and smiled
al the staring crowd. During the
voyage across Mrs Maybrick appeared
few times at meals and in the cabin.
but remained most Of the time in her
room She was met at the dock by a
few close friends and was driven di-
rectly TO the hotel and after a brief
rest VIII make a trip TO the Catskills
before her contemplated journey South.
Hayden acknowledged that Mrs.
Maybrick was about TO proceed in her
suit for lands in Virginia and other
states, which are said TO be valuable.

WANDER THIRST
IS SATISFIED
Leo Chrystal, Heir to For
tune, Returns Home After
AntipOdean Experiences
TIRES OF THE HUSKS
While Straying in Foreign
Lands the Lad Earns His
Bread in Plucky Fashion

Young Leo Chrystal has wandered
back to his native heath-unannounced
but welcomed like the wandering son
of old-a sadder but wiser lad.
AS a large fortune had been left to
him by his maternal grandfather, An
tone Tresconi of Monterey County, the
disappearance Of the lad something
over a year ago opened up a prolific lot
of 'Iawing." and thereby hangs a tale.
Bitterness had long existed between the
father of the boy, DR.. Chrystal of
Santa Cruz, and the Johnsons Of Mon
terey, the aunt and uncle Of the lad,
the upshot of which was petition to
the courts by the latter that the lads
father be removed as guardian of his
estate and they be substituted.
This action was vigorously contested
by DR.. Chrystal, through his attorney,
William H. Kearny. and while it was
still pending the boy suddenly and
mysteriously disappeared. After a
most vigilant search for the wanderer
he was traced to Honolulu, where it is
said he had been advised to visit" by
his relatives in Monterey-this, how
ever, being vigorously denied by the
Johnsons. From there he slipped away
once more, finally landing in Australia.
whence chief of police communicated
with his father. The strangest part OF
the whole tale is the fact that this heir
to one hundred thousand dollars was
doing trapeze stunts in a circus for a
living, taking orders in an antipodean
coffee-house, or hiking over the bush
with the sheep-shearers.
Now he's glad he's home-likewise is
his father, who is a prominent physi-
clan in Santa Cruz-and the lads thirst
for adventure, advised or otherwise,
is thoroughly stated.

IN THE NORTHERN SECTION
John Faggins Robbed of Sc by Two
Men on Sacramento Street
Last Nioht

Another hold-up has been added to
the long list that have occurred in the
northern part of the city during the
last few weeks. John Faggins report
ed to the Central station last night
that he had been robbed on Sacra-
mento street, near Battery, by two
men.
Faggins was walking along Sacra-
mento street at about 8 o'clock last
night when two men suddenly jumped
out of an alley. One of the men COW
cred him with revolver and ordered
him to throw up his hands while the
other rif1ed his pockets and secured
S6, which was all he had. One Of the
men examined a ring on Faggins' fin
ger. but decided that it was of no
value and did not take it.
The police are working diligently to
capture these men and they are dunn
founded to hear of how the cuIprits
operate in districts that have been
closely watched of late by patrolmen.

OWL TRAIN NARROWLY
ESCAPES BEING DITCHED
Engineer Discovers a Break in the
Rails in Time to Apply the
Emergency Brakes

FRESNO, Aug. 23.-The Owl train
was all but ditched tonight four miles
this side of Collis The train was run
ming at lightning speed, when the end
of one of the rails broke off and flew
into the air. The engineer saw the fly
ing piece of iron and applied the emer-
gency brakes The cars jolted over the
space miraculously, for ten inches of
rail was missing. Had the gap been
two inches wider the Owl would have
been ditched and burned Whether it
was a defective rail or foul play has
not been ascertained.
The passengers were much fright
ened, especially in the Fresno coach,
which was very crowded, many having
to stand. After the train was stopped
it took the train crew thirty minutes
to find the gaping rail and the missing
piece of iron. which was in an adjoin-
ing field fifty yards away.

FAVORITES ARE DEFEATED
IN SOUTHERN PONY RACES
Queen Rucker and CarIotta Have
Their Numbers Lowered in Com
petition at Santa Barbara.

SANTA BARBARA, Aug. 23.-The
second day of the Santa Barbara Coun-
ty Polo Clubs racing meet proved a
sad one for the favorites The unex-
pected happened in both the principal
races of the day, in the defeat of Ped
ley's crack ponies, Queen Rucker and
Carlotta, which were considered sure
winners by the talent
The big upset came in the mile race
for ponies in which Pedley's Carlotta,
with Hudson up; G. w. Clark's Morn
ing Glory, with F. w. Wilson in the
saddle, and T. H. Dudleys Commotion,
ridden by L. w Redington, were the
only starters. Considering the heavy
weights up and the slow track the
time, 1909, was good. The 80 mutuals
paid $6 10.
Queen Rucker. another Pedley fav-
orite, lost the three e-eighths mile dash
to Clark's Bas Blanc, ridden by E. J.
Colman. Dudley's fast mare Ocean
Waif, finished third, although she was
not fit to start and finished on three
legs.
In the quarter mile race for maiden
ponies, Dudley's Trixie, ridden by Red
ington, and DR.. E. ]. Boesekes Lucille,
ridden by Wilson, were the only start
ers. Trixie was away first and won
easily.
A notable feature Of the race meeting
Just closed was the lack of amateur
riders, c. w. Clark, r. NJ. Tobin, F. D.
Hudson, L. w. RedinEton, F. w. Will
son and z. j. Colman being the only
ones to sport silk. They were in the
