With a number of managers and
other theatrical lights, Manager Bow
yer of the "Yon Yonson" company
travelled to Europe last summer. After
reaching Berlin, Mr.. Bovyer separat-
ed from the others and wandered north
into Norway and Sweden in search of
local color" for his play. He got what
he was looking for, but not in the way
he expected.
Returning from Trondhjem, where he
witnessed the coronation of Haakon,
king of Norway, Mr.. Bovyer arrived at
Stockholm. The night of his arrival at
the gay Swedish capital, he dropped
into the Svenske Hallegarten, where a
vaudeville performance and promenade
concert was in progress. One act in
particular caught the attention of the
American manager 1t was mono
logue with songs and Dances present ed
by tall young man, of quaint per-
sonality, original methods and win
ming stage presence.
'T don't know what he is talking
about" said the manager to himself,
but he is a born comedian, and if he
could speak English, 1 would engage
him for 'Yon Yonson' on his own
terms"
At the conclusion of the vaudeville
show the young Swedish performer,
after the fashion of many European
concert nails, came from the stage ana
took a seat in the auditorium to enjoy
the concert which followed. BY the
merest chance he sat down at Mr.. Bov-
yers table, and calling a waiter, gave
an order in Swedish Then catching the
interested look of the American, he
added a few words in an undertone.
When the waiter had left, then Mr..
Bovyer was almost paralyzed with sur
prise to hear his companion say in
purest English:
You appear to be a stranger, sir,
and I have taken the liberty of order
ing refreshments for two in the hope
that you will join me-"
Over their beer the two exchanged
cards and histories and Bovyer lear.ied
that his new acquaintance was the
American-born son of Swedish parents,
who had made a snug. fortune in Min
nesota in the '70s and returned to
Sweden when he was IL years old. The
lad had acquired a perfect English e
cent in the schools of Minneapolis, and
had taken the highest honors at the
University of Stockholm, where he
studied for the legal profession. Much
against the wishes of his parents he
deserted the law for the stage, and
after a number of years with the Royal
stock company of the Stadt Theatre
in Stockholm, he entered the ranks of
the vaudevillians. After five years on
the variety stage his chance encounter
with Manager Bovyer provided lyon
Yonson" with a new "Yon" In George
Thompson. with a blown-in- the bottle
accent on which the New York GUS
toms officers wished to collect duty.

POLICE LOOKING

officers Charge That He Took the Boy
Away from the Mckinley Home
Saturday and Failed ia
Return Him

Oscar f. Waters, who is said to have
kidnapped his 10-year-old son from the
Mckinley home after II had been placed
there by order of the superior court, is
wanted by the police and all officers
in the city have been instructed 20
watch for him.
Waters is said to have called at the
home Saturday afternoon and request
ed to see the boy and to have taken
him away with him when he left. His
wife, learning of the matter, at once
notified the police as did the authori-
ties at the home.
Mr.. and Mrs. Waters were In the pub
lie eye several months ago. At that
time Mrs Waters sued her husband for
divorce and he filed cross suit. The
Judge before whom the case was tried
refused to grant the decree, but, ow-
ing to the statements made by both
Waters and his wife, decided that the
child should be placed in some home.
October % Waters was arrested,
charged with beating his wife. and on
the witness stand denied that he and
Mrs. Waters had ever been married,
although he admitted that they had
lived together for twelve years. Mrs.
Waters claimed they had been married
ten years. He was fined $50 by Police.

Since the child has been placed In
the home Waters is said to have made
frequent efforts to have him again
placed under his care, but his petitions
have always been denied. He has been
allowed to see the boy at any time,
but not to take him away from the
building.
The couple formerly made their home
at 1897 Magnolia avenue, but have not
been living together since Waters was
arrested. So far the police have OBJ
tanned no clew as to Waters where

Thrown Into fit by Sudden
Shocks

r. A. Gardner, 1911 Crocker street,
does not expect to recover from the
fright he received during the San Fran
cisco earthquake for the remainder of
HE life, according to the story he told
the police last night. Gardner was In
the stricken city from the time the
first shock was felt until it was possi-
BILE for him to come to Southern Cali
fornia three weeks later.
He was Ill at the time and the effect
of the shocks left him in such condi-
tion that at the slightest sudden noise
he falls in faint. Yesterday he was
seized with one of these spells on Main
street after hearing the sound of a
heavy wagon passing over the pave
ment. He was taken to the receiving
hospital, but later returned to his home.
