GRANDMOTHER SIGHS
FOR RGRANDCHILDSHE
MAY NEVER FONDLE
EXPIRES In A RESCUE HOME
Letter to Attorney Reveals Pathetic StOry-Child
Is With Woman Now Abroad Who
Does Not Know It Is Another
WOman's Offspring

would be possible for me to get the lit
tie girl I should love to have 1t.
"If I could just hear from 1t and
know II was alright 1t would do me
lots of good.
our daughter gave us lots of trou-
Bile. but she was our girl and we loved
her Just the same so If her child Is
living and has no home I ought to
care for It. At least | should like to
see picture of the baby, for it might
comfort me for the loss of my darling.
But the quest of the attorney was In
vain and the details Of the story Sc
cured from the neighbors of the Sheri-
dams were peculiar.
Sheridan was a young man and had
been married only short time. When
q little baby was born he was happy
but the child died the day of its birth
and the young mother became des-
perately i'll. Time after time she felt
for the tiny head that should have
been cuddled close to her. but there
was no baby and her cries for the
child were agonizing.
Substitutes Child
At last the physicians Informed the
father that unless another child was
given to the mother she would go in
sane.
In an agony Of appreh ension young
Sheridan hurried from the house in
search of a child. He was directed to
rescue home on First street and
there he was told that a baby had
been born to the Houghton girl the
day before.
He was allowed to take the baby
away with him. and cuddling the in
fant he dashed away. The mother re-
ceived the infant and was satisfied.
She never asked any questions about
the baby and when Attorney Ussher
was called upon to make out adoption
papers he insisted that the mothers
consent would be necessary.
But Sheridan could not break the
news to his wife, He thought the
shock would have killed her, and since
then the adoption papers have been
resting in an attorneys office.
Several months ago the couple, with
the little one moved from Los Angeles
and started for Indian Territory. from
whence they intend to go to the At
lantic coast and then to Ireland, young
Sheridan's birthplace.
The father is amply able to support
the child. and little Dorothy will be
well cared for but for the poor old
grandmother there will be sad news,
for she will never see the baby face
never see the soul of her dead little
girl sparkling from the eyes of the
sunny-haired little Dorothy.

RESTORE GIRL
TO HER PARENTS
JOY IN RIVERSIDE OVER THE
ABDUCTOR'S DEFEAT
Mourned as Dead for a Year-Prs-
oner Pleads With Sheriff for
Permission to Marry
His Victim

Mourned for as dead, Juanita Gomez
OF Riverside, found in the company of
Prospero LoZano Friday night at 724
Buena Vista street, was restored to
her parents yesterday afternoon by
Sheriff Coburn of Riverside.
The sheriff took Lozano back to Riv-
erside to answer to a grave charge
in connection with the alleged abduc-
ton of the 13-year-old girl.
The poor little girlswas taken from
the city Jail and given into the charge
of the Riverside officer.
Her eyes were red with weeping and
on her forehead there was an ugly
bruise, caused by the blows of Lozano,
she told the police matron.
Burn Candles for Daughter
For more than year Juanita has
been missing from her home. The
Gomez family believed that the girl
was dead and burned many candles
in the little Spanish chapel near River
side for the repose Of her soul.
According to the girls story, Lozano
induced her TO leave Riverside and
kept her with him under threats Of
killing her.
The couple visited various towns
where Lozano secured work. Several
weeks ago he brought Juanita to Los
Angeles and secured a room at 724
Buena Vista street.
Through the Riverside authorities,
of the wherea bouts of the
alleged abductor was obtained and the
two were arrested Friday night.
The girl is in delicate health and
bears the marks of ill-treatment.
Although it was understood that the
girls parents were willing to compro-
mise the case. Sheriff Coburn said he
would prosecute the alleged abductor
to the full extent of the law
Lozano told the officers that he had
no particular reason for stealing the
girl except that she took his fancy.
He said the parents did not like him,
so he made arrangements to take the
girl without their knowledge.
When he learned yesterday of the
grave charge hanging over him, he
pleaded with the officers to allow him
to marry Juanita

Somewhere out in the great wide
universe, away from her relatives and
friends, a woman, young and fair
wanders from city to city, cuddling
to her the baby she thinks is her own,
while out in the great wide desert
land Of New Mexico the tiny ones
grandmother mourns for the grand
daughter she has never seen and of
whom she will never hear again.
The case is as pitlful as any in the
history of the west, where great hearts
bear their sorrows in solitude as great
as the quiet country and where the
private business of man and woman is
more sacred than life itself.
Dorothy Houghton is the baby's real
name and she will probably never
know the awful history of her first
two weeks of existence.
The following letter received yester-
day by Attorney Paul Ussher of Los
Angeles tells only too well the agony
of that old grandmother's heart, as
alone she thinks of the tiny waif whose
life had brought misery to one home
and who is now somewhere in the
country lost forever to any of her
relatives:
Wall of Heart
Attorney Paul USHER / have been
thinking SO much of late about the
little baby girl who was born in a
rescue home in Los Angeles some time
ago and was taken away from there
by a man who gave his name as Henry
Sheridan.
"The baby's mother was my daugh-
ter and she was one of the sweetest
girls in all the world, but at the age
of 16 years was led away by a young
man with whom she had become in
fatuated and he deserted her in Los
Angeles.
"Their baby was born there at a
home for young women and at the age
of two days was taken away by this
man whom 1 have mentioned. My
daughter died very shortly after that.
have never heard one word from that
poor little youngster and / would like
so much to know if it is living or if
the people kept it, or il it was sent to
some home.
"Now that our dear girl is gone, it
seems to me that l can't wait longer
and not hear from it,

glad and l will never make the people
any trouble, but if it hasn't and it

AUT0IST TO TEST
THE SPEEDING LAW
speedometers of Motorcycle Police
Declared to Be Unreliable as
Against Those Used by Wealthy
Automobi lists

B. F. Dingley, known to be one of the
most enthusiastic automobilists in the
city, says he will test the validity of the
automobile speeding law.
He has engaged the services of Henry
II. Gage as counsel and instead of
pleading guilty to exceeding the speed
limit is to offer all the defenses known
in the criminal law.
Dingley AYERS that the speedometers
on the motorcycles of the arrestlng pa
trolmen are inaccurate and that a de-
fendant cannot be convicted on such al
legged inaccurate testimony
An Instance is cited of a motorcycle
belonging to Patrolman Mojonier which
registered more than ten miles an hour
while resting against a telegraph pole
In all the cases of alleged violations
of the speeding law the prosecution de-
pends entirely on the testimony of the
two policemen.
II is claimed by automobilists all over
lie state that the high-priced speedo-
meters i'm vogue among wealthy auto
mobile owners are far more reliable
than the cheap instruments used by the
police.
Although many drivers prefer to pay
fine rather than have court trial,
Mr.. Dingley is willing to test the law
itself and with the assistance of learned
counsel oppose the heretofore uncon-
tested automobile law
The case will probably be set for trial
tomorrow.
Automobilists all over the state will
await the outcome with much interest
for II Is claimed that much Injustice is
done to chauffeurs by arresting and
iining them on the uncorrobrated tes-
timony of two policemen anxious to
make a record Of cases.

interest in local politics, which suf-
Tered a setback at the time of the earth
quake at San Francisco, is reviving and
candidates for number of offices are
coming out in the open Several weeks
intervene between now and the date
Tor the conventions, but most of the
asplrants for political honors think
they doubtless will find it to their in
terest TO get into the field as soon as
possible.
Although definite announcement to
that effect has not yet been made. a
well defined rumor is current in citv
hall circles that Louis Schwaebe will
not be candidate for city auditor to
succeed himself, but will make an ef-
fort to secure the nomination for
county auditor instead. The reasons
for this move on the part of Schwaebe
are not clearly apparent. The salary
of the county auditor is somewhat
higher than that of the city auditor.
but the difference is so small as not to
cut much figure. This story has
served to bring the name of Bostwick
SchWaebe's deputy prominently to the
front as a probable candidate for the
office, although there is no certainty as
yet that he will consent to make the
race.
Holds Civil Service Position
Bostwick, as deputy i'm the office of
the city auditor, holds civil service
position and consequently he is not
subject to removal except for cause
His salary is only $50 a month less
than that of the auditor. In view of
this it is argued that Bostwick could
hardly afford to give up his present DO
sition and make the race for that of
auditor with all of it's uncertainties,
and with the prospect of paying out
considerably more than the difference
in salaries in the way of campaign ex-
penses.
Tax Collector Johnson also is said to
aspire to county office, and 1t Is re-
ported that he soon will announce him
self as a candidate to succeed Tax Col
lector Welch.
Various possibilities i'm the way of
candidates are mentioned.
Among Others, 1t is said that Martin
Betouski, at present a member of the
fire commission, probab will be can
didate for the seat in the council now
occupied by ed Kern. Betouski denies
he is after the place. but some of his
friends insist that he would take the
office if 1t We're offered him.

Although it was positively announced
that Ellen Beach Yaw would sing but
once in concert in Los Angeles, there
were so many hundreds turned away

rule and give a second concert at
Simpson auditorium on Tuesday even

Miss Yaw will be assisted by Senior

GAVE DRUMMER A SCARE
A Delayed Telegram Suggested Awful
Possibilities.

"There was travelling man,
said the night operator, whose
wife presented him with a son
while he was out drumming up
trade. The doctor got the mans
address, and, since his wife was
doing none too well, wrote out a
message giving him he news and
teiling min - return.
THE doctor gave the message
to the cook, who couldn't read.
She forgot to send it, and the
next day the drummer came
of his own accord.
"He stayed day or two,
found his wife doing all right,
and set out On his rounds again
Nothing, as it happened, was
said about the forgotten telegram
"And at the end Of the week
the telegram was remembered by
the cook. With an exclamation
of horror-you know she couldn't
read-she hurried to the office
and sent to the drummer that
delayed message. When he got
it that night he was terrified.
What he read was this:
"Another add:tion-a son;
your wife very i'll; return at
once
"He took the midnight train
for home. He was like a man in
a trance. tAnother?. he kept
muttering in dazed voice. I'm
possiblel''
"On getting home he was so
relieved when everything was
explained to him that he decided
not to fire the cook, after all. -
