ABUSED CHILD NOT YET
WHOLLY OUT OF DANGER
LITTLE MARCIA RAINEs LIES ON
BED OF PAIN
Child Said to Have Been Beaten by
Her Parents Still Causes
Anxiety for Her Re-
covery

Lying in the Children hospital, weak
and pale from ner iong illness, but bear
ing her sufeer1ngs patiently, Marcia
Rainea the little 4-year-old daughter of
Mr.. and Mrs. Jesse C. Raines, who was
recently taken from that couple by Off
GERS by the Humane society, Is being
carefully watched by physicians for fear
some complication may set in and cause
her death.
The child was taken from its parents
by officer Reynolds June 20. At that time
she was suffering from a number of
bruises which the Humane officers claim
were the result of beatings she had re-
ceived at the hands OF her parents
For several days 1t was feared the child
would die. Physicians watched her con-
stantly. At last they were able to ex-
press the hope that she would soon begin
to mend.
Mr.. and Mrs Raines lived at the Cata-
lima hotel. On June 2S nurse employed
by them reported to the police that the
couple were abusing the child and asked
that an officer be sent to investigate.
The case was turned over to the HUI
name society and officers, after an inves-
tigation, applied for a warrant for the
arrest of the young couple on grounds of
cruelty.
Say Parents Were Cruel
1t was claimed by the officer that Mr..
and Mrs. Raines were accustomed to at
tend midnight lunches, where they i'm
bibed freely. After their return to their
room, he said, the couple frequently in
dulged in fights, and If the child annoyed
them they did not hesitate to beat her.
Mr.. and Mrs. Raines were called to the
police station, where they are said to
have admitted striking the child. How
ever, they agreed not to drink any more
and to treat her Indy If allowed to go.
Under these circumstances 1t was de-
cided not to issue the warrants against
them, but the Humane society insisted
that the child be placed in the Children's s
hospital.
A few days later Mrs. Raines is said to
have left her husband and to have gone
to live with her mother at AT West
Washington street.
Mr.. Raines is we'll known real estate
dealer in Los Angeles.

PIGEONS CARRY LOVERS
MESSAGES OVER RIVER

Special to The Herald.
PORT JERVIS, July 13.-Doves appear
on valentines and other missives of love,
burt real live pigeons played part in the
love affairs of Miss Freda Ellsworth and
Frederick Smith, who live on opposite
sides of the Delaware river between Long
Eddy and Callcoon. The Titsworths live
on the Pennsylvania side in Wayne coun-
ty and the Smiths on the New York side
in Sullivan county. Both families kept
pigeons on their places.
Young Smith exchanged birds with Miss
Ellsworth and when he wanted to send
a love message to her he tied it to one of
her pigeons and released it. Miss Tits
worth did the same with Smiths pigeons.
A short time ago the Rev. John Roberts
visited the Titsworths. Smith sent a
pigeon to Miss Ellsworth popping the
question while the dominic was there.
She returned a reply that said YES"
The wedding took place on a boat in
the middle of the river on the line of the
two states.

to do with a mother-in-law who, believ-
ing that duty kept her in her married
daughters home, drives the latter away
by her obstinacy. The son-in-law un-
earths an old law under the Code Napo-
leon by which the soldiery can be called
on to restore to him the wife who had
fled. BY mistake he writes his mother in
laws name in the warrant instead of his
wifes, embarrassing the gendarmes, who
bring in the wrong prisoner. Fortunately
for them the irate mother-in-law slaps a
soldiers face, which in itself constitutes
a cause of arrest, thus leading to COM

NON-PROTESTANTS
CALLED CONSERVATIVE

In reference to the meeting to protest
against reduction In the franchise assess
ments to be held at his office, 435 Stimson
block, at 1880 tonight, Robert G. Loucks
said:
1.-THE citizen who does not protest
against the reduction Of franchise assess
ments is more conservative than President
Roosevelt, for he is trying to accomplish
the same end nationally that we here in
Los Angeles are striving for locally.
eff the corporations are not made to
bear their just portion of the public bur-
den their unpaid share will be saddled on
the shoulders of the individual taxpayer.
KINDLY understand" he continued, IT
am not the author of this movement, but
have merely rendered the use of my office
on the request of several of my friends"
All interested persons are requested to
be on hand early, as the meeting, at which
300 or 400 have signified their intention of
attending, will march in body to the
court house to make verbal protest.
