SEEK DENTIST
At OLD HAUNT IS
DETECTIVES SEARCHING FOR
RECREANT DR.. PARKER
Deserted Wife, Now at Whittier, Keeps
In Touch With Authorities,
Her Love Turned to

According to report received yes
terday by Deputy City Prosecutor Guy
Eddie, DR.. w. S. Parker, former pro-
prietor of the Pasadena Dental COM
pany with offices at Broadway and
Fifth street, who is charged with nom
support of his wife, has returned from
Silver City, N. M, and is in hiding in
Los Angeles.
After leaving the city in company
with a handsome brunette, it is claimed,
DR.. Parker went to Silver City and
there instituted proceedings for divorce,
alleging residence Of one year in the
territory.
Assistant City Prosecutor Eddie
hopes to prove a charge of perjury in
this connection, and If DR.. Parker is
found he will be arrested on an old
warrant charging non-support and a
further charge of jerjury will be made
The territorial judge at Silver City
was Informed of DR.. Parker's career in
this city and a close watch was kept
upon the young dentist, but he is said
to have left that city several days ago
and is supposed to be in hiding In Los
Angeles or vicinity.
In connection with the story Of DR..
Parkers desertion of his wife an i'm
probable tale was told to Mr.. Eddie to
the effect that the brunette had hyp-
Noticed the dentist and kept him in her
apartments for several days, COM
pletely spellbound. 1t is this same
woman who is alleged to have gone to
New Mexico with the dentist.
Mrs. Parker has been staying with
relatives in Whittier and has felt
keenly her desertion. She has kept in
constant touch with the office of the
police prosecuting attorneys, and with
her former love turned to hate is anx-
ious to see DR.. Parker prosecuted for
his alleged misdeeds.
Detectives were looking for the re-
creant husband last evening at several
places where he formerly stopped.

WANTS TO KNOW
THE REASON WHY
j. p. eoYTINo REFUSED LICENSE
TO OPEN POOL ROOM
Because of This Mandamus Proceed
ings Against Mayor McAIeer and
Board of Police Commission.
ers Have Been Started

J. P. Goytino yesterday filed man.
damus proceedings against Mayor Nc
Aleer and the board of police commits
sioners to compel them to grant him
the privilege of opening pool room at
245 North Utah street.
In his petition he states that he ap-
piled on April II for a license which
was denied him and now he seeks to
have mandatory order of court made
which will allow him to engage in the
business he desires.
Goytino appeared before the police
commission last Tuesday and asked
permission to conduct a billiard and
pool hall at 245 North Utah street. He
is a man of considerable wealth, and
told the board his object was merely
one of philanthrophy-that he intend
ed to open place where the poor
laborlng men could come and play a
game of pool or billiards for a nominal
sum or for nothing at all If they had
no money, and not be forced to go to
the business district, where they would
be surrounded by temptation.
He twice before asked the commits
sion for a similar license, but on both
occasions it was refused, as 1t was last
Tuesday. The commission has never
given him a reason for it's refusal to
grant him license, and he declared
last Tuesday that he would mandamus
the board to learn the reason.

PUSH LINE TO RIVERSIDE
Huntington Orders Immense Quantity
of Steel Rails for Pacific
Extensiona

Orders for 1877 miles of steel rails
for Mr.. Huntington have been placed
with the Carnegie interests and the
delivery of it has been ordered not
later than July /. This is taken as
positive proof that Mr.. Huntington
will extend his Pacific Electric lines
through to Riverside and San Ber-
nardino and connect with the Hunt
ington-Harriman lines in those cities.
The franchise bonds for the extern
sion of lines to Azusa and Glendora
were signed by Mr.. Huntington last
week. Building in that section will
commence at once. Good authority
says that the grading will continue
straight on to the other cities.
The new roads will pass through
much of the Santa Fe property and
will also parallel in general way
the Southern Pacific lines, but 1t is
said will not offer much competition
with the latter.
The country through which these
new lines will pass has been quietly
acquired by Mr.. Huntington. He is
said to own large tracts along the
proposed routes and will probably
establish a fashionable resort on one
of them.

TEACHES YOUTHS ART
OF STEALING BICYCLES
POLICE MAKE CHARGES AGAINST
MODERN FAGlN
With Record of Thirty Years Jail
Servtude Long Maintains Silence,
Defying Authorities to Prove That
He Coached Thieves

George Long, with record of serving
more than thirty years in Jail, in New
York state and California is being
held on suspicion at the city JAIL and
1t is thought that he is the leader
and business manager" Of the gang
of youthful bicycle thieves arrested
during the week.
Long is charged with stealing wheel
belonging to Glenn Stone, 317 North
to a man on New High street for sew
enty-five cents.
Several weeks ago Long was arrested
at the court house and taken to the
police station and there booked on sus-
picion. After few days ne was turned
loose without any charge being pre-
ferred.
The police records credit Long with
serving twenty-five years in Sing Sing
on a charge of numbering New York
policeman. Since coming to this state
the white-haired veteran has served
two terms in San Quentin on charges
Of robbery
Charities Not Interested
Several weeks ago he was released
and hysterical writer for a yellow
sheet wrote a sympathetic story about
the aged convict and attempted to
interest charitable societies in his case
without avail.
During the investigation into the
recent wholesale thefts of bicycles, it
was considered probable that an older
man was the ruling spirit in the en-
terprise and that the lads were in
structed by him as Fagin is said to
have schooled boys in his system Of
crime in one of Dickens books
Long preserves a discreet silence and
defies the detectives to prove anything
against him.
Yesterday afternoon Detective Zeig-
Ter arrested John Reese, living on East
Twenty-seventh street, and charged
him with grand larceny of a bicycle.
After being questioned at the station
the detective said the boy admitted
that he had stolen three wheels and he
Is believed to be a member of the
gang which has been purloining wheels
during the past few weeks.
He will be taken to the detention
home and his case will be disposed of
by Judge Wilbur at a session of the
Juvenile court

BLAME M0TORMAN
FOR FATALITY
WITNESSES ARE BITTER OVER
CHILD'S KILLING
ToddIer Lay on Fender for a Few
Moments Before Rolling Under
the Wheels Of the
Car

The inquest on the death Of Mary
Raulston, the 19-months- baby run
over by Los Angeles car No. 401 at
Maple avenue and Thirty-seventh
street Friday afternoon, will be held
this morning at the morgue Of Bresee
Brothers.
Eyewitnesses are expected to say
that the motorman of the car was to
blame for the accident as 1t Is claimed
that he had time to stop his car after
the little golden-haired baby toddled
upon the tracks.
The motorman, who ran some risk
of personal violence at the hands of
the crowd which rapidly gathered Is
expected to be present to tell his side
of the case.
The little victim, whose mangled
form now lies at the morgue, was the
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Joseph
Raulston, living at 1886 Wall street,
and the mother did not even know
where her child was until she was told
that 1t was dead.
Those who investigated the case yes
terday report that presence of mind
on the part Of the motorman would
have saved the child, as the tiny form
lay upon the fender for some time be-
fore rolling under the wheels.

Special to The Herald.

6peclal TO Ine Herald.
SHAMOKIN, Pa, April 14.-In thrill
ling runaway one mile underground to-
day, John Nulter was terribly injured,
three mules were killed, many wagons
wrecked and a number of miners mar
rowly escaped death.
Nulter was a driver at Hickory
swamp collier and was taking a trip
of empty wagons into gangway when
the mules became unmanageable and
made sudden jump forward, dislodg-
ing him from his seat and throwing
him down between the two front cars.
Unable to free himself, the helpless
man was dragged along between the
wagons over the rough roadway for a
quarter of a mile.
The mules, as they plunged ahead,
caused CONSERVATION among the men
along the gangway, many of whom mar
rowly escaped being knocked down or
squeezed to death by the swaying mine
wagons.
Their flight was stopped when the
mules dashed into another trip of wa

CITY CLERK DENIES
NEWSPAPER STORY
C. L. WILDE NOT TO FACE CIVIL
SERVICE COMMISSION
Other Plans Being Outlined by Which
1t Is Expected to Dispose of Re-
cent Unpleasant Incident in a
Satisfactory Manner

City Clerk Harry ]. Lelande en-
phatically denied last evening that he
was making any preparations to bring
Minute Clerk Charles l.. Wilde, chief
deputy of his office, before the civil
service commission.
There is absolutely no truth in the
article in an evening paper to the ef-
feet that 1 am working on charges
against Mr.. Wilde to present to the
lande last evening. Il have decided on
an entirely different course OF
action and one think will
be much more satisfactory.
had made up my mind on what
intended to do in Mr.. Wilde's case be-
fore I left for San Francisco ten days
ago, but since I have returned I have
changed my ideas and the question will
certainly not be brought before the
civil service commission. Such, at
least, are not my plans at present"
How Trouble Came About
The offense over which Mr.. Wilde and
his superior officer are at loggerheads.
is said to be pernicious activity on the
part of the former in connection with
the recent river bed franchise case.
On the memorable Monday afternoon
when the franchise was granted to E.
w. Gilmore by the city council, but
which was invalidated by Dock Hough-
ton changing his vote, Clerk Wilde is
alleged to have taken the ordinance
granting the franchise to City Clerk
Lelande within less than half an hour
after it passed the council, and asked
him to attest it. Mr.. Lelande could
not see the necessity for haste and re-
fused to sign the ordinance.
1t Is this action of City Clerk Lelande
that killed the franchise steal in its
early stages.
