Habeas Corpus Proceedings Are Dis

Special to The Herald.

Special to The Herald.
PASADENA, Aug. 8.-Frank Hart
grove, the Pasadena man who has been
lying in the local prison for fifteen days
at the request of oregon officers who
say that he Is wanted there for en-
bezzlement, was finally started on his
journey north this afternoon.
Chief of Police Pinkham took the
prisoner to Los Angeles this forenoon
to appear before Judge Smith in the
superior court, where habeas corpus
proceedings were begun some time ago.
Judge Rossiter represented the prisoner
Hartgrove's release.
But the court found the extradition
papers offered by Deputy Sheriff Stell-
macher of Albany, Oregon, to be cor
rect and ordered the prisoner turned
over to him for the trip to Oregon for
trial, dismissing the habeas corpus
proceedings. At p. m. the officer
started north with his prisoner.
Hartgrove is called upon to stand
trial for the passing of a fraudulent
check for Sc, but 1t is said that numer-
GUS other shady transactions will con-
front him there. He is said to have
many other aliases and to have made
a business of travelling from one town
to another passing out fraudulent
checks.
At Albany, Oregon, where Hartgrove
was engaged as hotel porter he Sc
cured nearly two hundred dollars by
this game and then suddenly disap-
peared. He was known there as Ste
phen A. Stockwell.
At several points in the state Of
Washington the young man is believed
to have worked the same lucrative
game and the local officers say that
they understand he is wanted in Mis-
souri, on highway robbery charge.
Up to the last minute, however, Hart
grove maintained stoutly that it was
a case of mistaken identity, and that
he had never been more than fifteen
miles north of San Francisco. Deputy
Sheriff Schumacher has been obliged to
remain in Pasadena four days await
ing the action of the courts and he
has put in the time wisely in visiting
the points of interest in company with
Chief Pinkham. He goes north deeply
in love with Southern California and
Pasadena anC Los Angeles in partic-
ular.

A. E. Church, fireman of engine

early yesterday when with his company
he made desperate dash to his own

Church was asleep at the engine

In some way the request was mis-

the hose cart, engine and chemical
wagon turned loose and went changing
toward Church's home, while the fire.

WERE HUNTING
INDIANS
Pasadena Officers Arrest TWO Los
Angeles Youngsters Who
Ran Away
Special to The Herald.

Speclal TO LIE f1eIdIu
PASADENA, Aug. S.-Vernon Kelso,
aged Is years, and Alden Middlebrooks,
aged IL years, two ventureSome Los
Angeles negro lads, are in the local
lookup awaiting hearing in court for
carrying weapons and discharging them
inside the city limits.
The two youngsters ran away from
their homes in Los Angeles a couple
of days ago and when last seen were
headed for Pasadena. Yesterday the
mother of the younger boy appealed to
Chief of Police Pinkham to capture
her son and restore him to her. She
believed that the lads were hunting
Indians and other wild things in the
mountains and was afraid the younger
boy would get hurt.
Sure enough the two boys ventured
down into North Pasadena this after
noon. probably driven thereto by the
scarcity of game in the canyons.
On Lincoln avenue they shot and
killed someone's tame duck. an in
fringement of the laws which was
promptly reported to Chief Pinkham.
A patrolman was dispatched to the
scene and captured the hunters red
handed. They carried shotgun and a
loaded revolver and carried themselves
as desperadoes of the most approved
penny-dreadful type.
They were locked up and stoically
await official action.

WIFE FAILS To
COME TO COAST
HENCE PASADENA LAWYER
GETS DIVORCE DECREE
Marries Widow In the East Who,
Confessing That She Prefers
to Travel, Remains
Away

Alfred M. Erskine, prominent young
attorney of Pasadena and member OF
one of the oldest and best known fam
lilies in New York, was yesterday
granted an interlocutory decree of di-
vorce from Mrs. Nina G. ErslSine by
Judge James in department one of the
superior court the ground alleged be-
ing desertion.
Erskine appeared in court shortly
after the Stackpole murder case had
been continued. The young attorney
Is very well known in social and busi-
ness circles of both Los Angeles and
Pasadena.
His testimony was short and was in
part as follows:
II married in New York July 6, 1908.
had been living in Pasadena for sew
eral years past and went to New York
to marry Mrs. Nina Watson. Yes, she
was several years older than 1 and had
son by former marriage.
1--WE were married there and were
getting along very well for awhile until
several months later / decided that we
had better return to Pasadena, where
intended taking UP my profession as
lawyer.
Promised to Follow
up to that time 1 had been in the
office of Judge Metcalf, and 1 was eager
to return and take up work for myself.
We got as far as Washington, D. c.,
on our return to the west, and there
my wife became i'll and begged me to
go on to Pasadena, saying that she
would follow me shortly thereafter.
II continued my trip and upon ar
rival in Pasadena she wired me that
she intended to take a European trip
and that she would be unable to join
me for while, so 1 sent her some funds
and she went abroad.
Finally she let me know that her
disposition was such that she would
never be content to settle down and
live with me in home of our own
but that she would prefer to travel
She stated that she would not come
west to live.
after that members of my family
in New York went to see her, but she
refused to change her decision and she
went to live at 1862 Sixty-second street.
That was the last heard of her."
An affidavit was then read from
Harold Erskine, "a prominent young
architect of New York, who has acted
as adviser in departments of eastern
colleges for several years. He is now
living at 81 Waverly place.
The deposition was taken at the Of
fee of another member of the Erskine
family on Wall street and its details
contained corroboration of the allega-
tions advanced by the young husband.
In the deposition Harold Erskine
stated thNt his brother, the plaintiff,
was 20 years of age and that his wife
was ten years his senior. He stated
that he had seen Mrs. Erskine and that
she was living with her little son at
the home of her first husbands brother
at 30S West Ninety-eighth street.
He alleged that the trouble between
the parties was because of the differ
ence in temperament, Mrs. Erskine be-
ing of a rowing disposition, while the
young husband desired greatly to set
tie down in home of his own and
follow the profession he had chosen.
Other affidavits were produced and
the case was then decided, Judge James
granting the man an interlocutory de-
cree as asked for.

PASADENA, Aug. s.-The manage
ment Of Throop Polytechnic institute
has decided to conduct a boarding
and roomlng hall for girls beginning
with the reopening of the institute in
the fall.
The boys hall, which was tried as an
experiment last year proved most sue
cessful, but there has been frequent
calls for similar arrangements for the
girl students. This demand will be met
by a girls hall under the charge of
Miss Chlta Kraft, at present the in
structor in Spanish.
Because Of likelihood that the insti-
tute will remove to larger quarters, no
house will now be bought for this girls
hail, but one will be rented instead.
1t isreported that no suitable site has
yet been offered to the institute, al
though number are under considera-
tion.
There will be no haste in making the
contemplated change, but when the
proper time and site come the decision
will be made quickly.

TRAINING Dou Police.

The training of the young New
foundlands that NJ. Lepine adds to his
police staff is one Of the sights of
Paris, says the Century. 1t takes
place in the headquarters of the
agents plongeurs, small building on
the quayside not far from the Cathe-
dral of Notre Dame. Dogs and men
enter into the exercise with zest, and
there is usually a crowd of onlookers.
Only dummy figures are used, but the
rescue" is, nevertheless, very real
istic affair. The big dogs know per-
fectly we'll what the exercise means,
and they wait with comic enthusiasm
until the dummy is thrown into the
water and an agent plongeur rushes
out on hearing the splash and the out
cry of spectators. While the men are
busy with lines and life-buoys, the dog
plunges into the water, swims to the
dummy, watches with rare intelli-
gence for an opportunity to get an
advantageous hold; and then it either
swims ashore or waits for its master,
who brings to the rescue long poles,
cork belts, and the like. The more
experienced dogs, however. will easily
effect rescue from first TO last with.
out human assistance; and it is an in
spring sight to watch them looking
for foothold on the slippery sides Of
the river bank, and pulling the heavy
dummy into a place of safety.
It takes about four months to train
the dogs efficiently. They are also
charged with the protection OF their
masters when attacked by the des-
perate ruffians who sleep under the
arches of the bridge in summer. Thus
in Paris also the police dogs are a
proved success.
