WANDERS AIMLESSLY UNTIL
OFFICER PICKS HIM UP
Is Given Temporary Shelter in the
Detention Home-Says He Does
Not Like Parents Who
Forsook Him

A very, very lonely little boy trudged
the dusty roads at the outskirts of
South Pasadena yesterday afternoon
and gazed with a sorrowful sort of
anxiety at the lowering rain clouds and
the fast dimming mountains.
His clothes were old and ragged. He
stubbed one toe against the heel of his
other foot and wondered what kind of
"durned old world" it was anyhow
and why he had been turned out of
home to face the battle of life before
the close cropped curls of his head had
felt the touch of the BARRIERS shears.
Big automobiles, belching great
masses of dust and unseemly smells
swept by him. One of them had
stopped-a big, red shiny one with
funny brass lamps and a glorious big
horn, and the prettiest woman in all
the world had leaned from the tonneau
and given him an orange. At that par
ticular moment he had wondered
whether or not she was an angel for
she had actually kissed him on the spot
where he knew of a certainty the tear
stains must have Travelled in little
rivulets through a smudge made by
soiled fingers. and yet she had kissed
him right under the eye without ap-
parent consideration or compHnction.
He had wandered across the railroad
tracks and had seen the big choo-choo
cars with the clouds of smoke thunder

MANY ACCIDENTS
WRECK HIS MIND
ECCENTRIC ENGLISHMAN MAY
BE A KLEPTOMANIAC
Judge Smith Metes o.. Iona Sen.
tences to Old Offenders, Though
Specific Grimes Are
Small Thefts

Three of the most remarkable cases
in the history of the criminal DEPART
ment were tried yesterday afternoon in
department one.
In each case Judge Smith was in
clined to grant probation and in one
case the prisoner will probably be sent
to the insane asylum. In two of the
cases however just as the Judge was
ABOUT 10 put the men under probation
evidence of such character was pro-
duced as to get them severe sentences
in states prison.
The case of j. Hugh Jones, an Eng
l1shman, was probably the most re-
markable. Jones is a graduate of Ok
lord, has had considerable reputation
Tor cleverness in England. He came
10 this country several years ago and
met with series of accidents which
nave caused him to become a mental
and physical wreck. Soon after he had
taken up farming at Acton he was
kicked in the head by horse and
from that time he acted peculiarly.
A second accident caused combustion
or the brain and fracture of the skull.
Develops kIeptomania
Since that time he has been irrespon-
sible and it is alleged has taken anv-
thing he could lay hands on. Often
he pawned his personal possessions for
an insignificant sum when he had
money in his pocket.
He was arrested for a petty larceny
burglary and his case was continued
for one week. In the meantime his
relatives will file an insanity petition.
Frank II. Stevens, a former solrlier
was about to receive probation for the
theft of a suit case yesterday. Wher
officers Of the district attorneys office
produced evidence to the effect thai
| 1t was Stevens eighteenth crime, and
| five years sentence in San Ouentir
was meted out to him.
In the case Of Otiaviano Chacon AT.
torney Rymert, under charge OF con.
tempt on an allegation of subornatior
of perjury, was yesterday granted J
stay of week to prepare his defense
while his client convicted of burglary
received a sentence of two years II
states prison.
Small Theft; Long Sentence
John MCGUIRE, convicted of seyera
petty thefts In the last year or so
yesterday pleaded guilty to the theft
of carpet valued at 10 cents and Z
hat valued at less than that, and was
| sentenced TO serve TWO years In states
| penitentiary by Judge Smith.
Mcclure admitted that he had tn,
habit OF taking things that did no
belong TO MIN. that on the occasion
of his last capture he had been walk

FATHER MUST PERMIT
MOTHER TO SEE CHILD

On a petition to be allowed to see
her little girl more frequently Mrs.
Florence A. Taylor yesterday went
before Judge Bordwell and explained
that her husband, Funess ]. Taylor,
who has brought suit for divorce
against her, would not let her even
look at the little one.
The husband, who is guardian of the
little girl, contended that his wife
would attempt to kidnap the little girl,
but he promised to obey the courts
order and let the mother see the baby
on certain occasions.

sistance possible IL needed are amply
secured by the best of collateral. La
ter a syndicate of local capitalists will
effect a reorganization of the bank.
This syndicate will take over the stock
held by the retiring president, j. r.
Woodbury..
Today, and especially this afternoon.
there was some little excitement about
the bank, and some, especially the
smaller depositors, withdrew their
money. At the same time they were
doing so, others, and especially busi-
ness men, and other larger depositors,
who have confidence in the bank, were
making deposits This had tendency
to restore to the public the confidence
in the banks stability. The withdrawal
OF money this morning did not APP
proach a run altho the wild and UNI
trie rumors spread over town like wild
fire. and caused more Withdrawals dur
ing the afternoon. At no time however
did 1t approach serious run.
Cashier T. J. Fletcher, of the First
National. said this afternoon that there
was no danger unless the public be-
came wild, and lost.its head entirely.
At the present time there are plenty
of prime assets to pay each and every
deposition.
This afternoon there was no excite
ment at the bank, and all who wanted
their money were being paid cheerfully.
The fact that Mr.. Denmead has become
president has restored confidence to a
great degree, and some of those who
were depositing were joking as they
passed their money over the counter.
The banks assets have been thor
oughly examined by President Den
mead and found amply sufficient to
meet all demands Of deposftors The
bank will be open at 9 o'clock Satur-
day morning as usual.

Washington has discovered that the
number 142,S57 is odd in more senses
than one.
If we multiply 1t by any number from
one up to six we arrive at, products
expressed by exactly the same figures
as the original. Not only so but with
the exception that a different figure
leads off each time the order Of the
figures Is the same.

With this multiplying by six the
