POLICE MATRON PuNcTURES
MARIE PETERsoN's YARNS
When Kindly Disposed Women Come
to Offer Aid to Alleged Refugee
the Facts Come out-Father Takes
Her Home

Marie Peterson, who applied to the
police Friday night for lodging after
telling them a pitiful story of lonely
little life, was telling an untruth, ac-
cording to the matron of the detention
home, where she was taken for safe
keeping.
Yesterday she confessed to the
matron that she had concocted a yarn
about abuse and Ill treatment; that
she never had to earn her own living
and that she never came. to this city
from San Francisco. Her father, q
Woodworking fresco painter living on
Griffin avenue, was notified that his
daughter was ready to repent and go
back to her cozy home.
He called for Miss Marie last night
at the detention home and almost wept
when his little daughter came into the
reception room with downcast eyes. He
did not upbraid her for all the anxiety
she had caused the family. He just
took her in his arms and said:
"Oh, Marie, Marie, how could you
make your old father grieve so?" r
She Breaks Down
Miss Marie broke down and admitted
that she was a naughty little girl and
deserved a whipping, but she nestled
close to her father.
Miss Marie was found at a North
Main street lodging house Friday nigh:
by Patrolman Vignes and rescued from
men roomers. He took her to the po-
lice station for her own protection and
she was sent to the detention home.
She told story that created instant
sympathy for her sad plight. She said
her mother had left her to shift for
herself. For years she earned her own
living, she asserted. and came to Los
Angeles several weeks ago in search of
work. She claimed to have stopped
with family on Maple avenue for a
time, but said the people moved away
and she was forced to seek a temporary
lodging with but ten cents in her
pocket.
She was found by Patrolman Vignes
covering in a chair, very lonely and
frightened.
A number of women called at the
detention home yesterday to talk with
the girl and offer her shelter.
Finally after a number of women had
offered to take her and Marie had told

"Hol for a dip in the briny deep"
This is the cry of the Shriners who
have crossed the burning sands and
have refreshed themselves by slipping
camel milk
The visitors from the east yesterday
enjoyed q spin around Los Angeles In
automobiles and to say that they were
delighted with what they saw would
put 1t mildly.
Never has a more appreciative crowd
come. to Los Angeles, and all are will
ing to give the city her full credit
for beautiful climate, grand scenery,
romantic houses and buildings COM
bined with the most commodious hos
telries of the twentieth century.
In the evening the men of the fez
entertained, themselves or were enter
tained Individually. Many went to
the theater, while others visited with
old friends whom they had not seen
for several years.
Today they will all go to Long
Beach, and last night they expressed
themselves as anticipating as good a
time as youngsters ever had In the old
swimming hole when they played
hockey from school.
The entire plan for entertaining the
fasteners has not yet. been made and
cannot be completed for a few days,
for several hundred more are expected
to arrive within the next three days.
Many of the visitors are tarrying
longer en- route than was the original
intention before the meeting here was
declared postponed. 1t is safe to say.
however, that even though no great
plans are made for entertainment all
will have q good time, for they are a
jolly bunch and most Of them have a
pocket full of spare change that they
are anxious to spend sightseeing.

Years Ago

Two we'll dressed women struggled
for the possession OF an S-year girl
In front of the Central police station
last night.
One woman was about to leave for
the east with her foster daughter The
mother Mrs. Milton Carter, sought to
prevent the other woman from taking
the girl with her. Decision was left
with the desk sergeant.
Mrs. Carter left her husband back in
little Missouri town several years ago
and came to this city. She claims to
have secured a divorce, and has since
married another man, II is said.
The deserted husband gave his
daughter into the charge OF a relative.
The foster mother has been In Los
Angeles some time and yesterday made
plans TO return to the east. Mrs. Car
ter attempted to take the child from
her and that started the trouble.
Patrolman Roy Allen escorted the
foster mother and her charge to the
station and the mother, after kissing
her child good-by was compelled to
give her up.
