GOES TO MOTHER
FOR ASSISTANCE
Miss Colby, the Defaulting
Bookkeeper, Hopes to Pay
Back Gold She Squandered

Miss Fanny NJ. Colby, who was daz-
zled by an acquaintanceship with Miss
Dorothy Morton, the actress, and to
entertain her squandered funds be-
longing TO the firm by which she was
employed as bookkeeper, is in San Di
ego, seeking the assistance of her
mother to make good the shortage.
Miss Colby left San Francisco Friday
evening on the train Miss Morton took
for the south, where She will join the
"Glittering Gloria" company
There were not many developments
in the case yesterday. Experts are at
work on the books of Lercari, Pera &
Co, the produce firm of which Miss
Colby was a trusted employe. The
bookkeeper confessed her guilt before
she started for Los Angeles, but said
the amount she had misappropriated
was not more than $3100. 1t is likely
that after an examination of the books
her estimate will be found to be COR
rect.
The Morse agency is handling the
case and detectives have accompanied
Miss Colby to Los Angeles. She will
not be placed under arrest for the time
being, unless she attempts to leave the
State. If Lercari, Pera & Co. are re-
inbursed she will not be charged.
Among the friends that Miss Colby
treated to automobile rides were Mr..
and Mrs. Jack Pierce, who also had
apartments in the Chesterfield, on Bush
street. But their acquaintance was
only casual and was soon dropped
Mrs. Palmer, one Of the landladies Of
the Chesterfield, has been stanch
friend Of Miss Colby, not believing her
to be mentally responsible. Mrs. Pal
mer is also an intimate friend of Su-
pervisor John Connor, who procured
the position of bookkeeper for Miss
Colby. He had also obtained a tempo
rary position for her in the City Hall.
When she admitted the shortage,
Miss Colby exclaimed with sigh of
regret, 1T went so fast that 1 cannot
really tell what became of it," She is
about 80 years of age. The detectives
agree that she is not sound mentally.
Former employees of Fischer's give
more light on the attentions Miss Colby
paid to Miss Morton. 1t appears that
every night for about three weeks Miss
Colby sent handsome bouquets to the
actress and the only writing on the
card was "A Well Wisher." Miss Nor
toms curiosity led her to ascertain who
her friend was and then the acquain-
tanceship was made.
While it is admitted that Miss Nor
ton was lavishly entertained by the
bookkeeper, who represented herself as
having an interest in the business Of
the firm, it is denied that the actress
accepted any gifts.

CORNERSTONE
LAID IN PLACE
San Francisco Nursery for
Homeless Children Scene
of Dignified Ceremony

'To the service of God and humanity
I dedicate this institution" said Rev.
DR.. David Evans of Grace Church yes
terday afternoon as the cornerstone of
the splendid. building that will house
the wards Of the San Francisco Nur-
sery for Homeless Children was lower
cd slowly into place. In the corner
stone had been placed by Mrs. Jacob
Bertz, president of the home. tin box
containing the daily and weekly pa
pers, record of the home and silver
coins of the last issue. A note told
that on the day the stone was laid gold
coins were in common circulation but
ir view of the nature Of the institution
such coins were not placed in the box
because they could be Of infinitely more
use outside than inside the corner
stone.
Early in the afternoon the philan-
thropic people of the city that are di-
rectly interested in the home began to
gather on it's site at Fourteenth avenue
and Lake street. Then came half a
hundred little children-the wards of
the home that were old enough to be
out. They strewed flowers and ferns
along the mortar-covered walks as
they marched UP to see the stone low
cred to it's place. This was a little cere-
nlony of their own, more eloquent, how
ever, to many than the formal cere-
mony of their guardians.
The Rev. DR.. David Evans delivered
the opening remarks and then called
for contributions. In moment q snug
pile Of gold was placed on the corner
Stone, the first piece being placed there
by the minister himself. He said that
in all of San Francisco no minister
could have been found more in SYM
pathy with the purpose Of the institu-
ton than he, because in early youth
he had been bereaved of his parents
and for nine years lived in such a
home ITO that home ! owe all 1 have
and all 1 am," he said, "and so my
heart beats strongly for such chari-
ties"
Franklin K. Lane followed DR.. Evans
with an eloquent address upon the pur-
poses of the institution. Roosevelt 8
words against race suicide" he said,
"are not all that can be said regarding
this problem. 1t is as necessary that
the child be preserved as it is that it
be given birth. And when you see these
little ones that you have saved grow
to manhood and womanhood a blessing
will come upon you that money can
not buy"
At the conclusion of Lanes address
Rev. DR.. Evans delivered a prayer and
then dedicated the building to it's
Christian purpose.
The San Francisco Nursery for
Homeless Children was founded thirty
years ago. In 1892 it enlarged its scope
and incorporated. Then the building
now in course of construction was pro-
iected. It's site, which cost $4,000, is a
block square, and the building, which
will be of gray stone and pressed brick,
will cost about $4,000.

But the injustice to women might
be averted If only the word sex were
stricken from the paragraphs. The
pioneer women Of the. West. who have
labored and suffered by their nus
bands sides to advance civilization,
ought not to be so unjustlY classed
with felons, lunatics and children,
while their own husbands, equals in
other respects, are erfranchised. The
Congress Of the United States ought
not to set its seal upon the possibility
of the perpetual disfranchisement of
these women, an unmerited disgrace
and punishment. 1t is true that in
many States women have been tacit-
ly ranked with these detectives, deIfn-

never before has the insult been so
open and fiagranL nor has it been in
an act Of Congress.

States Government, the Territorial
Governor of Arizona, once before in

defeat of women by vetoing the

effort, behavior or lapse of time,
achieve enfranchisement.
