GIRL IS STUPEF|ED
WHEN MARRIED.
Helen Stefanesco Given
Strong Drink Before
Wedding to Peterson

Made unconscious by drink given
her by strange woman, 1e-year- old
Helen Stefanesco married Charles Pc
terson after an acquaintance of less
than day, lived with him two weeks
and because of his cruelty left him and
returned to her parents, who are resid-
ing in a tent in Golden Gate Park That
was the story brought out in, the inves-
tigation made into the writ of habeas
corpus brought by the husband before
Judge Graham yesterday. In a jargon
OF mixed German and Rumanian the
child wife denied that she had been kid
naped and said that she left Peterson
of her own free will. She shook her
head with determination when asked If
she desired to return with her husband
to his home in San Jose, and the case
was dismissed.
Helen Stefanesco came to San Fran
cisco with her parents from Rumania
about five months ago. Suitors for her
hand were plentiful, but it was not
until after the fire that Peterson met
the girl to whom he was subsequently
married. He was introduced by the
strange woman, whose name does not
appear in the case. 1t was this stranger
nv save the DlcldHtSCO SlTl the drink
that dulled her senses With Peterson
she hurried to Oakland, but fearing
that there might be interference, Peter
son took the girl to San Jose, where
they were married by Justice of the
Peace Wallace.
That was on May 81. but trouble fol-
lowed almost Immediately. 1t was re-
ported that Peterson had bought the
girl from the strange woman for $40.
This, however, Peterson denied.
The girl remained with Peterson for
two weeks and then returned to San
Francisco. V. Becanes, whose name
was brought into the case by Peterson.

and Peterson alleges that he loves the
girl and has endeavored to entice her

man FROM BOSTON TRIES
suicide And is BALKED
Casts Himself Into Bay and Drifts
Until He Is Picked Up by
Man in Launch.

r. J. Allen of Boston, after brooding
over symptoms of innumerable ills
that he had detected, decided yester-
day morning that the best way out of
his troubles would be to drown him
self He reached that conclusion in
Oakland, but fear of rescue restrained
him from making the attempt while
crossing the bay.
From the ferry he walked to Channel
street in search of nice quiet place
where he could carry out his plan
without interruption and found what
he was looking for. He jumped into
the bay and was having a delightful
time of il, dying slowly in the sewage
tainted water and feeling symptom
after symptom disappear, when the
flood tide carried him around the end
of the new Pacific Mail wharves just
as Henry Peterson's launch Brisk came
from the other side.
The PROV of the launch struck the
head of the would-be suicide a
glancing blow. Peterson saw the man
in the water, and disregarding Aliens
comments on his careless seamanshfp,
pulled him on board and in half an
hour turned him over to Surgeon Till
man at the Harbor Hospital.
He not only prevented my commit
ing suicide" said Allen in discussing
Henry Peterson, but the clumsy brute
struck me q terrible blow on the cheek
and made me swallow at least quart
of that horrible water"

CASH STORE SMITH
MUST EXPLAIN.
Wife Says He Devoted
Too Much Attention
to Other Women
ASKS FOR DIVORCE

why Smith left home may now be
explained in the courts.
In her petition for divorce Mrs. Flea
nor Smith alleges that Harper A.
Smith, of Smiths Cash Store fame,
spent most Of his time in company of
two women. whose names are not
disclosed, that he accompanied them to
opera and late dinners and on roll
licking trip 10 Los Angeles, Santa
Barbara and other Southern points.
Amicable settlement has been made in
regard 10 the community interests, but
the husband showed his desire TO con-
test the suit by filing an answer yes
terday. in which he entered vigorous
denial OF number OF the charges.
The case will be heard before Judge
Kerrigan Monday morning The couple
have four children-Irving B, aged is
years; Louis E. aged II years; Wesley.
aged Il years, and Eleanor H, aged
Is months.
Mrs Smith says that her domestic

band there in company with two other

light refreshments and discovered him
there in company Of the same two
women. In January of this year, she
says. he escorted the two women, who
seem 10 have alienated his affections,
on a trip through Southern California.
In his answer the husband denies the
charges. with the exception of the trip
10 Los Angeles. and in admitting that
allegation he says that as his wife's
associates were not aware of his ex-
cursion il could not have caused her
great mental anguish.

terday TO the divorce suit brought oy
Bertha Rossbach, in which she alleged
cruelty. Rossbach says that ii was
his wife who was cruel, that she fire.

Tama Jim on His Travels.

This week Tama jim started on his
travels "to inspect meat packing plants
in the East" He wanted to catch the
packers of their guard. Therefore no
kilograms announcing his impending
visits were sent out. No personal mott
fcations were forwarded to the slaughter
houses. Tama jim merely told the WASH
ington correspondents that he was going
forth on his wanderings to see how the
animal food factories along the Atlantic
seaboard were managed, and trusted to
them to keep the packers In the dark.
First he visited Philadelphia, There
he peeked at some abattoirs and sausage
makers plants and allowed himself to
say that he was not ready to be inter-
viewed. One fact he could divulge,
however. It was that 'the tour was
planned as a surprise to the various
establishments" He added that she was
making the trip unannounced.' More
he refused to say. Secrecy must be
maintained, though lama JIM has to
talk all day to do 1t.
A great conspirator the Hon. JAMES
WILSON Of Traer, Tama county, Iowa,
would make. He knows how to hide his
movements from the packers. He slips
silently from State to State, serene in
the mystery he has created, unheralded
by brass bands, unexpected as the light
ming bolt. Tama jim takes no one into
his confidence except the newspapers.

To TIE EDITOR OF THE SuN-str. The carpe,

The solution may be closely Appropriated by q
much simpler method: O - the shorter leg Of tho
triangle formed In the corner by the end of tho
carpet; b = the longer leg; II - the altitude
Of the triangle; c - the length Of the carpet.
Now. since the triangle Is almost similar to half
the room, a IL not far from 1 and b Is near .. BY
subtraction the legs Of the large triangle at the
side Of the carpet arc about 8 and 10. Let SID and

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN-Sfy: Suppose the

sides Of the room will form q right angled triangle,
tho hypothenuso OF which Is two feet. Call tho
greater Leg OF this triangle tcut from the end Of the
room) 4. and the lesser leg (cut from the side Of tho
room) v. Another larger right angled triangle.
similar 10 tho nrst. Is formed by walls of the room
and the side Of the carpet. The tnangles being
similar. this proportion follows: 2oV; 1o-1.
The smaller triangle gives F+ya=4. These eQua-
lions arc difncult to handle by purely a~lgebraic
methods. The nrSt gives v=iot vfE-i0f TTU6,
the second y=tvE1. Plotting the CORES
