KlDNAP 5RIDE UNTIL SHE
MISSES HONEYMOON TRAIN

Special to The Herald.
SPRINGFIELD, Mass, June 15.-
After Louis A. Duffy and Miss Odils
Berlanger, both of Northampton, had
been married, they were driven to the
Northampton station today in hack
with youth riding astride their bag
gage Haunting banner inscribed: 1--WE
are just married.
AS they left the train at Springfield
they encountered volley of confetti
Mr.. Duffy turned to avoid the bits OF
paper, and as he did so three wedding
guests spirited Mrs. Duffy through the
waiting room into a closed carriage In
spite of her protestations. Mr.. Duffy
was not greatly concerned at the out
set, but as the time for the train to
New York approached and his bride
was not returned he became impatient
Twenty minutes after the noon express
to New York had departed, the carriage
approached the station at a leisurely
pace. Mrs. Duffy was almost uncon-
trollable, and the serenity of the con-
spirators did not tend.to restore Duffy S
composure.

York" shouted the arch plotter, as the
trio of kidnapers boarded a North

SEARCH IN VAIN FOR
WIFE AND TWO CHILDREN
Special to The Herald.

Special to The Herald.
PASADENA, June 15.--Repeated en-
treaties of a substantial nature were
not sufficient to carry Mrs. George
F. Gillette of this city back to her hrs-
band in Little Rock, Ark. She pre-
ferred to be far away from her low
ing spouse in the lure of the lower
world for today she has completely
disappeared with her two small chill
dren, one two years and the other ten
months old. She has completely VAN
ished as though the world had swal-
lowed her up and efforts on the part
of Humane officer McAney and her
husband, who has arrived here from
Butte, are in vain.
1t was but a few months ago that
George r. Gillette sent his wife to
California for her health. She came
to Pasadena and took up rooms with
| Mrs. Pullen on Villa street. All went
we'll for a while but Mrs. Pullen finally
decided to move to Los Angeles but
before she did so she told Mrs. Gillette
that Mrs. Gillettes manner of living
was becoming too well known in Pas->
adena and that she would have to
! move out of her house.
| She bade Mrs. Gillette good bye, pic
turing to her the horror of the life
she led. 1t is supposed the butterfly
existence attracted Mrs. Gillette, for
shadow across her path.
She turned her two children over to
Mrs. Frieda Koerber of 740 North Ell
Molino avenue. and it was arranged
that they should be taken care of for
six weeks. The children stayed there
three months.
In the meantime Mr.. Gillette had be-
come dissatisfied with the prolonged
absence of his wife and he wrote for
her to come home. He had been send
ing her SIS week all the time and
now he sent her railroad ticket to
come home on. She claimed that she
lost the ticket. Last week the hus-
band sent another ticket and $50 in
charge of passenger agent here. Mrs.
Gillette talked him into giving her the
ticket and the money. She then went
to the home of Mrs. Koerbe, and took
the children, later disappearing.
Last night the humane officer and
Mr.. Gillette watched the trains going
north to San Francisco, but it is pre-
sumed that the woman made her es-
cape by boat.
All the husband now asks Is the
children, SO that they may have proper
care.

OPSCidi " L hC ALOAc cio'
PASADENA, June 15.-MunicipaT
arc lights glowed for the first time
in this city this afternoon when Mayor
Thomas Farley turned the magic cur
rent into the city wires. The action
of the chief official marked the sue
cessful termination of the installation
Of a municipal electric lighting plant.
The city has been hanpered by the
Edison Electric company in building
the plant, but this marks a step out
of the clutches of the company, and
there was general rejoicing among the.
people of the city this evening when
they beheld the big lamps glowing for
the first time.
There is only small plant installed
at present. A dynamo is in use that
generates 2300 volts, and this is sup
posed to be distributed at a ratio of
eighty volts to each lamp. More equip
ment for the power house is on the
way here and it is expected that within
the next eighteen months the city Will
have three boilers installed and en-
gines that will furnish nearly 1000
horse power for the lighting of the
whole city.
Superintendent William Glass of the
city lighting plant promises that the
city will furnish electricity for COM
mercia1 purposes within the near future
at half the cost of the Edison Electric
company's present charge.

AMERICAN HOLDS UP
PARIS TRAMCAR SERVICE
Special Cable to The Herald.

PARIS, June 15.-There was a
strange scene in the Rue de Faubourg
ST. Antoine yesterday afternoon. A
gentleman of foreign appearance took
UP his stand in the middle of the thor
oughfare and watched the tramway
traffic with rapt interest. AS each car
came along he signaled to the driver to
stop, and, the signal having been
obeyed, he made an entry in a small
notebook and ordered the indignant
driver to DRIVE on
For half an hour he continued to
make notes in this manner, but at
length his conduct attracted the atten-
ton of some policemen, to whose ques-
tions he made reply in English
The agents being unable to under
stand him, took him before the police
commissary for the district, to whom
he introduced himself as the ''official
timekeeper to the New York tram
ways" He had, he said, come to Paris
to study, the working of the tramway
system.
The police, however, obtained in
formation which seems to show that
the unfortunate gentleman is not in
his right mind. He has been identified
as an American and il being detained
at the police inflrmary pending ar.
rangements for his repatriation.
