TAILOR COOKS WIFE
SEARCHES IN VAIN
FOR TWO MONTHS FINDS NO
TRACE OF HUSBAND
Visits All the Beach Towns In Quest
of the Missing Man, and Santa
Monica Furnishes the Only cIew,
Faint One

What has become of r.. l.. Cook, a
tailor VINO mysteriously disappeared
from his Los Angeles home two
months ago and for whom his wife is
anXiously SeaGching?
Cook was we'll known in Los Angeles,
having lived here for nearly six years,
and worked in many shops. He was a
German, 40 years old, and was first
class coat maker.
About two months ago he disap-
peared from his home on Los Angeles
street, telling his wife he was going
to look for a position. He stated he
intended going to one of the beach
towns
For two weeks his wife awaited word
from him, but received none. She then
went to Long Beach and San Pedro,
where she made inquiries. Tailors in
those cities Informed her that no man
of the name of Cook had applied to
them for work, so the woman then
went to Santa Monica. There she
learned that a man answering her
husbands description had applied at
several tailor shops.
Since that time Mrs. Cook has Wis
tied all the surrounding towns, but has
gained no trace of her husband. She
is at present living at Main and Hill
streets, Ocean Park.
my husband has no reason to leave
his home, as we had sufficient money
to tide us over. even If he was out OF
employment for several months she
said. 1--WE never had family troubles
and a cross word seldom passed be-
tween us. He seldom drank, and al
ways appeared cheerful.
Ills absence has worried me greatly
hut ! still hope he will return, as ]
cannot believe anything serious has
happened to him"

nLAMEs roc MucH PROSPERITY
Trunk Lines Tell Why They Refuse
Grain Freights
u Aesnoiated Press.


NEW YORK. Oct. 19.---At the meet
ing of grain interests called to take ac-
tion in regard to the refusal of the
trunk lines to accept orders for carry
ing grain, a representative committee
was given power to take whatever ac-
ton seemed necessary to secure q modi-
ficatioF fthe railroads position.
A prominent trunk line official was
questioned as to the cause of the grain
embargo. He made the following state
ment:
1.-THE cause of the trouble is merely
prosperity prosperity. The railroads
have more freight to handle than they
can handle. They are working night
and day to serve their customers; they
are doing their utmost-and as usual
they are getting harshly criticised.
"The demand for cars all over the
country is unprecedented. The block
ade started in the west and has been
gradually coming east until now the
east is experiencing what Is already an
old story. in the west.
"It is not quite fair to say that the
railroads have adopted policy of re-
fusing grain. Their position is simply
this: They are fully two and three
weeks behind their grain business; they
have large amounts of grain in eleva-
tors awaiting shipment and have grain
cars bleckaded and they feel they
should make some inroads on the con-
tracts they already have on hand before
undertaking new ones
"Just as soon as 1t Is possible to
handle new grain contracts the rail-
roads. you may depend upon it, will
do So

SAY RULING is INHuMAN
California Roads Ignore Commission
in Sick Travellers Tickets

Believing that a supreme court decis-
ion justifies them, officials of the South
ern Pacific and Santa Fe roads say they
will ignore the interstate commerce
commission in cases of sick travellers.
Two of the three transcontinental
roads out of Los Angeles will continue
to extend the time limit in cases where
travellers find themselves unable TO
start back home, though their ticket de-
inands that they use up the return sec
ton. '"'
The Salt Lake system secured the
first ruling on the subject, stopped the
practice. and adopted as substitute q
plan to redeem the return halves of
tickets.

PlTIFUL CASE DEvEL OPSWHEN
GIRL is FREED
Little Isabel Huff of San Pedro
Shouts for Her Papa--Man
Sent to an Insane
Asylum

AS the closing chapter of. one of the
most pitiful cases ever presented to the
juvenile court, little Isabel Huff,
daughter of MIR. and Mrs. William
Huff of San Pedro, was allowed to re-
turn to her home yesterday by Judge
Wilbur after she had been detained
for the past two weeks at the detention
home.
'Oh where is papa? want to see
papa" said the little girl and she
looked questioningly at her mother
yesterday but the woman only turned
away with sob.
With frightened gasp in her voice
the little girl turned quickly to her
younger brother and catching one of
the youngsters in her arms she begged
of the little fellow:
Brother, tell me If papa is hurt"
But the brother only stood by with
wide staring blue eyes and shook his
head, for he did not understand any
more of the sudden disappearance of
his father than did his sister who had
been imprisoned.
The child grief was pitiable until
with mothers care one of the wo-
men Of the humane society took the
little girl aside and explained to her
that. her father had been sent away to
the insane asylum and that she would
probably never see him again.
Such was the home coming Of little
Isabel and the child with more than
her share, of sorrow followed her
mother from the court room with head
heroine. =,
-', Father Sent to Asylum
The Huff case was first called to the
attention OF the humane Officers at San
Pedro several weeks ago when resi-
dents complained that William Huff, a
one time prosperous mechanical engi-
neer who had a little cottage on the
water front, was not supporting his
family and that his children needed
care from the county authorities The
little girl Isabel was brought to Los
Angeles with her two brothers and
J shortly thereafter the mother came
here and tried to secure the release of
the little ones. A week ago the case
was taken up and upon the appearance
of Huff and his peculiar ways 1t was
decided to file complaint OF insanity
against him. He was taken before
Judge Gibbs last Tuesday and ordered
sent to the insane asylum. In the
meantime his two little boys had been
! released. but the little girl was still
under county care.
