POLICE RESCUE GIRL
FROM LIFE OF SLAVERY
ENTRUSTED BY MOTHER TO
HEARTLESS CUSTODIAN
German Benevolent Society Members
May Be Interested in the Case
Because of Its Pathetic Features.
Young Woman Is From Germany

Owing to the efforts of the police,
pretty little Frieda Schmidt was res
cued yesterday from the clutches of a
woman who has maltreated the girl
and exposed her to insult, say the
police.
The girl is now being cared for by
the police matron and Sergeant Craig
will seek to interest members of the
German Benevolent society in her be-
half.
She was brought to this country
when slip OF a girl by Lena Mar
tins, cousin of the Schmidt family
The woman promised the credulous
German mother that Frieda would re-
ceiVe the best of care and be edu-
Gated in American schools. Although
loath to lose their little girl, the parents
thought that Cousin Lena would do
| right and see that she became a good
woman with a public school educa-
ton.
Sergeant Craig said that the Martins
woman brought little Frieda TO Los
Angeles about two years ago. She
was then barely 16 years of age and
innocent.
Kept in subjection
In company with a profiigate man,
Mrs. Martins took a house at 334 North
Union avenue and later moved to 145
Front street, Santa Monica. The po
lice say that the girl was shamefully
abused and maltreated and kept in
subsection as white slave
She was not given any money or
allowed to go to school but worked
as a kitchen drudge for Mrs. Martins.
Recently the police heard Of the
case and have been pursuing quiet
Investigations which resulted in the
arrest of the Martins woman yester-
day.
She was taken before Justice Aus
tin and pleaded guilty to charge of
Vagrancy.
Sergeant Craig asserts that some of
the abuse heaped upon Frieda would
seem incredible if told. Her girlhood
has been ruined and she has been
half starved and beaten The officers
say that the case is one of the sad
dest that has come to their attention
for years.
THAT woman should get a sentence
to state prison for twenty years" said
Sergeant Craig yesterday. II am con-
fident that the court will impose a
strong sentence in the case as he has
judicial knowledge of the underlying
facts. The woman pleaded guilty, but
denies part of the charges against her"
Frieda is thousands of miles from
her happy old German home and
weeps as she tells the kind-hearted
matron, Mrs. Gilbert, of her life in
America.

DEL MONTE IS
CLOSED FOREVER
PROPRIETOR LAYS BLAME TO
NEWSPAPERS
One of the Owners of Third Street
Place Says OverzeaIous Report
ers Are Cause of Failure
of Establishment

THE pernicious activity of news
paper reporters trying to scoop each
other was responsible for the revokal
of the license of the Del Monte,' said
j. j. Lonergan, part owner of the Del
Monte and Imperial cafes, last even
ing.
The lease of the Del Monte was sold
yesterday and at midnight the place
was closed, the two former owners say
forever so far as they are concerned.
THE trouble which occurred in the
Del Monte and which was the cause
of our license being revoked might
have happened in the girls own home.
She had only few glasses of beer in
the Del Monte and we had the checks
which the checker made out to prove IT.
when Mr.. Roster and myself first
bought the Del Monte three years ago
we did not pay much attention to the
hotel feature of the place. After we
had the Del Monte for a few weeks
we saw the Importance which the hotel
feature was to the house and we con-
tinued it.
Lays Blame to Newspapers
1--WE did not like the idea of the
hotel being run attached to the res
taurant, but it was the only way we
could make money, so we ran it that
way linen Wnen tne trouble came UP
about that girl who had dinner at the
Del Monte and then went home and
died the newspapers all went after the
license. They got it.
Then when the license of the Del
Monte was revoked our patronage fell
off and the cafe was no longer a pay
ing proposition. This patronage we
aid not regain when the license was
restored, for all the private rooms were
cut out.
I'VE sold the lease back to the own
er, Mr.. Kellerman, who, 1 understand,
intends. to rent it from month to month
and to sell the place within a short
time"
So at midnight last night the last
meal that will probably ever be served
in the Del Monte Tavern was eaten
by the two former proprietors and a
few friends.

HAZARD GUILTY.;
JURY So FINDS
WIFE BREAKS DOWN AT THE
ANNOUNCEMENT
Attorneys for Accused Tried Hard to
Establish an AIbi-Mrs. Hazard
Testifies in Her Husbands
Behalf

Guilty was the announcement of
the jury in the Hazard case when at
p. IN. Wednesday it came into court.
Upon the motion of the defendants
attorneys the jury was polled and each
man made answer as his name was
called that the verdict given was his.
The attorneys for Hazard spent most
of the morning in trying to establish
an alibi that would save their client.
V. e. Stockwell, a real estate dealer,
admitted that he had known Hazard
but denied any knowledge of his re-
lations with Lulu Rowland. He tes-
titled that he had seen the defendant
on December % and that he had left
his office about noon.
Mrs Hazard herself took the stand.
She was hardly able to testify, so
great was her emotion, but swore that
her husband was home on December
%. leaving there about ten minutes to
nine She further stated that he was
at home on the nights of December
Is and 10. She admitted that she knew
Lulu Rowland, the girl having been
at her house with her son Roy. Her
cross examination was brief and she
was followed by her husband, who de-
MED the charges against him.
Dead Girls Testimony
The principal witness against Hazard
came from the grave to front him. The
testimony of the girl, Lulu Rowland,
who was lost with the Valencia, could
not be overthrown and all the at
tempts that skillful legal knowledge
can make were fruitless.
The defendant sat there stolidly and
heard the verdict of the jury with
apparent unconcern. He seemed the
least interested of all those in the
room.
Beside him was the wife, who tried
her best to save him from the remorse-
less weave of evidence that the pros
ecution had built around him., and
when the foreman of the jury with
even tones announced the verdict that
made a criminal of her husband, she
broke down completely
The clerk of the court polled the
Jury with monotonous precision and
then the room was cleared, the woman
and the man were left alone to front
the sorrow that had come to them.
Hazards attorneys are preparing
motions for a new trial and in arrest
of Judgment, but these will take some
time and last night Hazard was be-
hind the bars.

 MT.

The anecdotes that smack of the red soil os Nebraska are the best for political sneeches. The tales that came to him in Japan. India or Turkey he reserves for the private ears of his friends.

 New York Special. :...
 The World says: Rumors of settlement of the Ffsh-Harri- man controversy are without founda- tion. The quarrel is as bitter as it was on the day of the annual meeting. when President Stuyvestant Fish re- fused to carry out the agreement made in July last. whereby he was to be chosen by a majority of the directors. At the annual meeting OctoL,r IT, In Chicago. these directors presented the name of Henry w. De Forest, one of the Southern Pacific lawyers. Seven directors announced that they had chosen Mir De Forest in accordance with the terms of the July agreement MT. De Forest was unacceptable to him because of his Southern Pacific afiIlia- tions. He thereupon elected J. D. W. Cutting. of New York a director of his own choice. but did not vote the Har- riman proxies. which had been turned over to him by Kuhn. Loeb & Co. on behalf of MT. Harripan.
 Since that time the breach between Mir Hartman and MT. Fish has con- tinued to widen. The banking inter ests allied with Mir. Hartman declare ed agreement is to them inexcusable. and they are therefore aiding Mir. Har- riman in his fight which Is to come to an issue at the meeting of the board for organization some time early in November. The issue If this meeting will depend entirely upon the attitude of second Vice President Harahan, who holds the balance of power in the board. There are thirteen directors: six of them are openly in favor of MT. Hartman and six are allied with MT. Fish. Vice President I-arahan signed the nomination of MT. De Forest with six Hartman directors. but he has since denied that he is opposed to MT. Ffsh's reelection.

 No 1e,d of science has seen greater nrorress in the last forty years than astronomy: and the methodicai wolh wi ich Is being done today has been planned for eAr-rsachlng purpose.
 Al Greenwich Observatory the sun has been regularly photograpneo every clear day Cor more than twenty years, with A view of determining the changes going on in its spots. More recen.iy Observations from India and Mauritius have been added. so that now IL IS rare day which does not see al !edst one new photograph taken. The oo!eSt of this work Is to explain the cycie of change in the sun spots whlcn scHs through a period of eleven years. No m. has been able to distinguish the cause. ,,,,,,
 Professor Langley. at the Astro Phys ical Observatory Of the Smithsohian Institution, has just completed ope oi the most important works ever car ried out on the light of the sun. He has fer years been nnalyZihs .n , lie rays. which. although entirely ln- visible to our eyes. are of the same nature as those of light, and are ielt hv us as heat The bolometer ne mas invented for this purpose IS so uci cate that the heat of human body will send 1t beyond it's limit. With It Langley has mapped the heat rays oi the sun down. to an extent and pre- cision which were before entirely un- known.
 The business of catalogulng the stars is a stupendous task which Is occupy ing observers all over the world. AS there are about 100.00O,oOo stars dis- cernible through a modern telescope' the task is a slow one' put ail 'ne great national observatories In every quarter of the world are workihs III harmony for this purpose to study the extent and structure of the universe. Tn to the present time 100000 stars visible In our own attitudes have been catalogued In the Southern Hemls- phere Sir David Gill of the cape oi Good Hone, and others, have plotted the whole sections of stars not visible in our own latitlde.
 In the mere matter of listing stars the amount of work Is stupendous' 400 900 have been listed at the obserV- atory at Bonn in fifty years; ana Dr. 'rhorne. in the Argentine Republic. has listed half a million. The heavens are being photographed on the largest scale. all the observers having com bined for this task. which promises 10 take some twenty years.
 Another delicate feature is the meas urinR of the distance of the stars. Most of them are so far away that the method available for this-the shift In the place of the star produced by the enormous swing of the earth Tn US orbit-has given us the distance Of
