SAN JOSE. Oct. 25.-Miss Hulda Han
sen and L. D. Hayes of Oakland were
arrested at the Varsity Rink last night
in response to a telephone request from
the Oakland Chief of Police. This even
ing Detective Kyle of Oakland took
Hayes to Oakland, where he may have
to face a charge of seduction Mrs.
Hansen, mother of Hulda, took her
daughter to San Francisco.
Miss Hansen, who is pretty and 16,
said before leaving: 81 have been en-
gagged to Mr.. Hayes for a year, and af-
ter the exhibition at Irvington School
we decided to get married in San Jose
today. knew my mother would have
no objections. but I had my doubts
about my father. My folks knew that
I had been going with Mr.. Hayes and
they knew that he left Oakland with
me Saturday. / have often gone off
with him this way before. and I cannot
account for the arrest. We are both
well known in Oakland and in San
Francisco"
Last night the Sheriff was notified a
warrant charging Hayes with felony
had been issued Miss Hansen and
Hayes were at the Varsity Rink. where
they were arrested. The girl was
turned over to the matron of the Red
Cross Hospital.
1t is said Hayes is the son of a prom
inent Oakland business man. Miss
Hansen lived in San Francisco before
the earthquake and was student at
the Polytechnic High School. She is an
expert roller skater and has given ex-
hibitions in a number of towns around
Oakland.
When the young people left Oakland
Miss Hansen went to 1rvfngton to give
an exhibition of fancy skating. Hayes
accompanied her with the knowledge Of
her parents and with their full consent.
1t was not known at the time that the
young people had any intention of mar
rying before the date set for their nup-
tials. but when they failed to return to
Oakland the girls parents became anx-
ious and at last sought the aid of the
authorities in locating the elopers.

the office will be retained.
Woodwork made an unenviable rep
utation for himself when he retired
from the Federal office by at once be-
coming attorney for Chinese defendants
and attacking the validity of indict-
ments that he himself had drawn.
The appointee could not say how long
he would retain the Office If the ousting
OF Langdon is made permanent. He
indicated that he would hold on only
until he was through with Heney.
The interview was brought to a close
with Ruef's expressing a keen relish
OF the excitement that he had created
on the streets for the night and he
repaired TO a cafe for the hilarious
reception the push" gave him there
How thoroughly Ruef holds a grip
on the municipal administration was
shown by the secrecy with which all
the official acts connected with his ap-
potntment were carried out. He filed
his bond, his oath OF Office and his GER

however, that both District Attorney
