Brides Aunt Surprised

Mrs. Norcom says that her niece
never kept company with any of the
young men in Hynes and that she did
not know she was at all intimate with
Southstone.
why, the little thing" she says,
"wore short dresses and her hair
braided down her back and she was
too young to keep steady company
with any young man, let alone getting
married"
Mr.. Norcom said later:
my little niece is only Is and her
first long skirt was bought for her by
Southstone. She is child and he a
man of % years. | WIFI prosecute him
If l can to the full extent of the law,
and l think my niece will forget him. "
In the meantime, however, Mrs.
Southstone thinks that her uncle will
not do as he says he will do. The in
nocent girl thinks that she will be al
lowed to live with her husband.
Probably the first step which Mr..
Norcom will try to take in regard to
the matter will be to have the mar
riage annulled.
Miss Trailer bears an excellent repu-
tation in Hynes and has many school
friends who sympathize with her In
her trouble.

SANTA BARBARA, May 1S.--Maud
Griffin, the Santa Barbara girl who has
been missing for several weeks, and for
whom Mrs. Griffin has been searching
through Los Angeles, has been found.
She has not been in Los Angeles at all,
but has been staying at the home of a
woman friend in Goleta. The story Of
her disappearance is one of unusual
interest. Several other people are inn
picated in the episode. and other de-
velopments may be expected before
the case is finally settled.
Mrs. Bowen of this city. the woman
to whom Mrs. Griffin referred when
comforting with the Los Angeles police,
acknowledges that she had hand in
the girls disappearance, but says 1t
was done in n spirit of charitableness
for a girl whom she says was being
placed under bad influences by her
mother. 1t seems that Maud Griffin is
not the reckless maiden she was paint
ed, but modest 14-year-old child who
dislikes the life of her mother.
Separated From Husband
Mrs. Griffin has, it is said. been
separated from her husband for some
time, and has according to the state
fnents of Mrs. Bowen, been associated
with a man now in Los Angeles. 1t is
SdlQ S0e Wduleu " lilONt W Ddil LUIS
Obispo with this man and take Maud
along to live with them. To this, 1t Is
said, the girl objected Differences
arose between mother and daughter
which resulted in Mrs. Griffin making
threats of sending her daughter to
rfeorm school under charges that she
was unmanageable, it is said. Maud
replied that she would sooner go to a
reform school than to live with her
mother and a. strange man.
About this time Maud became ac-
quainted with Mrs. Bowen, who pro-
posed that Maud go to Los Angeles
with friend of hers and later go north
to her father in Portland, Ore. The
plan got to the ears of Mrs. Griffin and
was changed. Mrs. Bowen took the
girl to a quiet home in Goleta instead
of sending her north.
When Mrs. Griffin found herself with
out daughter and got no letters from
Los Angeles, she went in haste to that
city and has since been having the po
lice search for her daughter. The girl
has written to her father for railroad
fare to Portland, and intends to stay
where she is until she can go to her
father.

He Bears Good Reputation

In Hynes young Southstone seems to
bear an excellent reputation. Many
friends say that the boy is innocent of
any intentional wrongdoing. He had
been the chauffeur for w. H. Obear for
some time and was known there to be
steady and reliable.
Last week he asked permission for a
few days leave of absence to get mar
ried, and, it is said that he tried to
procure a license in Los Angeles last
Saturday. The girl, however, so it is
said, appeared too young to the county
clerk and the couple selected Santa
Ana as the next place to get their
license.
The store people and the postmaster
say that young Southstone and Inez
Trailer had been seen in each others
company for about six months and at
the dances where he was the musician
they often appeared. On Sunday after
Moons he would meet the girl, who
would on those days be absent from
Sunday school.

Ry Associated Press.
WASHINGTON, May 1S.-Reminis-
cent of the stressful days Of the forty
seventh congress were the scenes in
and about the house today.
Hardly had the journal Of the house
been approved when the Democrats,
under the leadership of Mr.. Williams
of Mississippi, began the first real fill
buster in that body in number of
years, their object being to defeat the
bill paying to the estate Of Samuel Lee
of South Carolina $1O,4S2 for allowances
made by reason of the election of A.
Lee a negro contestant for a seat in
the forty-seventh congress.
This bill has been reported favorably
by nine congresses, six times by Re-
publicans and three times by Demo-
Gratis. The certificate of election which
Lee contested was given to John S.
Richardson.

Report In Favor of Lee

The committee on elections reported
in favor of Lee. A vote was taken on
the resolution to give him the seat held
by Richardson, 124 voting in favor Of
the resolution and ia against. Lees
contest progressed no further.
The Democrats began a noted fill
buster and the forty-seventh congress
ended by operation Of law without a
quorum being present.
Today's filibuster followed along
similar lines, Mr.. Williams resorting to
every known parliamentary tactic to
encompass the defeat Of the measure.
There were numberless roll calls and
still more divisions demanded and
taken, but the bill was finally passed.

SENATE PASSES
FAMOUS MEASURE
RAILROAD RATE BILL WINS IN
A WALK
When Final Vote Is Taken All but
Three Cast Ballots for Cunber-
some and Lengthy
Provision
BY Associate / Press.

BY Associate Press.
WASHINGTON, May 1S.--After sew
enty days of almost continuous deliber-
alton the senate today at ABB p. nj.
passed the railroad rate bill by the
practically unanimous vote of II to 3.
The three negative votes were cast by
Senator Foraker, Republican, of Ohio,
and Senator's Morgan and Pettus, DEM
ocrats, of Alabama. There was a some-
what larger attendance Of senator's than
usual, but the attendance in the gall
leries was by no means abnormal, and
there was no manifestation of any kind
when the result was announced.
There was, however an almost general
sigh Of relief among the senator's.
Bill Was "Long-Wnded"
The bill has received more attention
from the senate and from the country
at large than any measure that has
been before congress since the repeal of
the purchasing clause of the Sherman
act in 1898.
1t was reported to the senate on Feb
ruary 26 and was made the unfinished
business on March 12
From March II to May the bill was
under general discussion without limit
alton on the duration of speeches, fifty
eight of which were delivered.
Many of these were prepared with
great care and two of them consumed
more than a days time in delivery.
Senator La Toilette, the Junior SEN
ator from Wisconsin, spoke for three
days and Senator Daniel of Virginia for
two days. Senators Bailey. Foraker,
Lodge, Rainey, Dolliver and others
spoke for an entire day each.
Many Flfteen-Mlnute Speeches
For twelve days the bill has been
under consideration under a rule limit
ing speeches to fifteen minutes each.
The discussion has at all times been
earnest and animated, but for the most
part devoid of personality as between
senator's, the past few days, however,
having called out some caustic criti-
cisms of the president and of some
newspaper correspondents by Senator
Bailey.
In addition to passing the bill, the
proceedings today consisted in conclud-
ing the consideration Of the amend
ments as such and the delivery of a
number of speeches on the bill.
The only amendment adopted was the
one offered yesterday by Senator Teller,
eliminating the words "in it's judgment"
from the power given the interstate
commerce commission to fix rates.

Young Husband Alarmed

In the meantime Southstone had be-
come alarmed and under the pretense
of fixing an automobile he left the
house, saying that he would return In
an hours time.
AS soon as Mrs. Obear had tele-
phoned Mr.. Norcom left for Los An
geles and found his niece at the Obear
residence, 2105 West Adams street. He
persuaded her to accompany him, and
although the girl cried and wanted to
wait until her husband returned, she
was finally persuaded to go to the
home of Mrs. Henderickson on Twenty
third street.
After leaving his niece there Mr.
Norcom reported the matter to the
police and Friday morning the girl
was taken to her home.
During this interval no word has
been received by her from the youth
full husband. All day Friday the young
lady was near her home, watching and
waiting for her husband, who prob
ably was afraid to go where he
might be seen.
Mark Southstone's family lives near
the home of Inez Trailer at Hynes and
his mother is heart broken over the af-
fair. She does not understand what
has been done and does not know
only from hearsay, that her son is
married.

Telephones His Fiancee

Thursday morning Mr.. Southstone
telephoned to his fancee, who was
then in the school at Clearwater, to
meet him early in the afternoon. The
young girl left school at noon and met
Southstone in Clearwater. From
Clearwater they went to Santa Ana,
where they were married.
From Santa Ana they came to the
home of Southstone's employer, on
West Adams street, and there the girl
wife was introduced to the Obear
family. Mrs. Obear noticed that the
young wife was a mere child, and upon
questioning the young lady found that
she was only 10 years of age and that
her name had been Inez Trailer or
Taylor.
To satisfy her own suspicious Mrs.
Obear called Mr.. Norcom over the
telephone and asked him If he had
given permission to the marriage of
his niece.

TALKED ABOUT ALTA.
Citizen Of Utah Camp Interviewed
While in New York City.

NEW YORK, Sept. s.--Speaking of the
Utah camp, J. II. Bigger, prominently
identified with mining activities at the
camp of Alta, Utah, who is In this city
on business connected with various min
Ing enterprises. said that splendid re-
suits are being achieved there. The out
put OF this year will furnish most graf
flying record for holders Of Alta securi-
ties.
The Columbus Consolidated is daily 60
ing 20 the valley furnaces with greater
tonnages than ever before, and for Au-
gust the output from the mine alone, he
said, has had value of not less than
$4,000 A mill has been added TO the
companys equipment, and from this
source there Is going out daily an aver
age Of one carload of high grade con-
centrates. What is being achieved there,
he said, Is the more noteworthy because
Of the limited facilities for transporta-
ton, no interest having yet had the
hardihood TO attempt the building OF a
railroad into this mountainous camp. But
even with this handicap. there Is the.
greatest activity at Alta. and the camp
has already taken rank as one of the
greatest in Utah's mineral bearing zones.
With all the millions that Alta has pro
duced, however, he says that the camps
resources have been only meagerly eX-
plotted, and that each year Will be
productive Of greater tonnages.
Speaking OF other mines of the camp
that are attaining distinction as pro-
ducers. he said that a most intelligent
and active campaign is In progress in
the estate Of the historic Flagstaff, con-
troll of which recently passed into the
hands OF Michigan interests. From the
dump alone, which had been discarded as
containing insufficient values for reduc-
tion, a large revenue Is coming at this
time. and In the mine large amounts Of
ore are blocked out which cannot fail to
enrich those who have recently interested
themselves in the property. The South

few months ago. is now attracting
great deal OF attention in mining circles,
