GENTILE'S PROTEGE
MUST BE JEWISH
CHlLD'S RELIGIOUS TRAINING
BONE OF CONTENTION
san Francisco Refugee Is Given to
Volunteers of America officer
to Raise Her in oppo-
site Faith

The religious training OF 5-year-old
Hattie Goldberg, a pretty, dark-eyed
child, was the rock upon which the
contestants for the guardianship of
the little one split yesterday in the
superior court, and while this ques-
tion has not as yet been settled, 1t is
expected the girl will be instructed IN
the faith of her Jewish parents, but
still. remain in the care of Major w. M.
Hughes of the Volunteers of America.
Hattie Goldberg came to Los An
geles through the stress following the
San Francisco earthquake. Prior to
that calamity she had been taken from
her widowed mothers home, an ema-
ciated bit of humanity, suffering from
nnalnutrition, and placed in the Maud
b. Booth home, which later was de-
stroyed.
She was taken to the home of Mrs.
Francis Kahn 2947 Mission street, San
Francisco. and later because of Mrs.
Kahn's troubles on account of the dis
aster, given into the care of Major
Hughes, who brought the girl to Los
Angeles.
The grandfather of the child, while
admitting his inability to care for her,
contested the petition of Major Hughes
to be appointed guardian of the child,
hoping, ne Sdlu' W Pi1lSS no IL ~
home of a person who would bring her
up in the Jewish faith. The showing
made by Goldberg's attorney, however,
was not satisfactory to Judge Wilbur,
and Major Hughes petition was
granted.
Goldberg's counsel and Major
Hughes were told to confer with each
other regarding the child's training.
and it is expected she will be allowed
to attend a Hebrew educational and
religious institution.

and finally after living six years with
me he deserted" said Mrs. Annie

anybody, even if he was paid $40 a day,
and he lived up to his resolution" she
said. The decree was granted.
Mrs. Elizabeth Strain said her hus-
band, Thomas Strain, was frequently
intoxicated, threatened on several oc-
casions to kill her, and broke up, the
furniture and dishes in their home.
The couple were married fifteen years
ago and Strain deserted in 1906. She
got a decree.

Mrs. Wentworth did not like the
idea of having her chickens in other

thoughts in no uncertain way MIS-.
Van retorting that perhaps some OF
her own fowls might be found In MRS;
Wentworth's possession IL d cateAui
search was made.
And So the trouble started over a
few chickens. Where it will end is
hard to tell, but one chapter was en-
acted in Justice Selph'S court yester-
dav. when Mrs. wentworth appeared
to explain a remark Mrs. Van says she
overheard as she passed the went
worth store.
Mrs. wentworth told someone as

her within an inch of her life, said
Mrs. Van, and she believed the words

the object. ~,
Mrs. Van had but one witness, Will

who. being the only male present
among THE two score of women, was
quite noncommittal, saying he had
heard nothing and knew nothing and
appeared to be pleased thereat.
as that all the witnesses you haVeF'
asked the justice.
Mrs. Van said it was. The justice
expressed sorrow and said it was too
bad that "all these people should come
up here and be compelled to return
without gaining anything" even lit
tie food for gossip being denied them.
Mrs. Van was considerably non
plussed and was about to expatiate on
her opinions of the law generally and
the present methods of procedure par
ticularly, when she was warned that
doing so might land her in jail for
contempt. Then she subsided until the
open air was reached.
Her followers numbered slightly
more than those of Mrs. Wentworth,
and the two groups were quite out
spoken, one disappearing the other in
sanctioning the action of the court In
dismissing the case.
When the justice came out few
moments later the Van group carefully
avoided him, but his feelings were
smoothed when he was greeted by the
sunny smiles of Mrs. Wentworth's
followers.

Up In Police Court Badly
Battered

o. Joslin, aged 10, a teamster, was
taken to the receiving hospital yester-
day afternoon and the surgeons there
sewed up three-inch laceration on the
top of his head. After his injuries were
dressed Joslin was taken to Police JUS
tice Austin's court, where he was ar
raigned on a charge of disturbing the
peace. He pleaded guilty and was fined
$40 or the alternative of ten days in the
city Jail.
Joslin was injured in fight with
Bernard Hanson, who works for a
street paving company. 1t seems that
Joslin drove on portion OF newly laid
asphalt at Ninth and Main streets, af-
ter being warned by Hanson to drive
around it. Then Hanson demonstrated
with the young teamster, jerked up
whip and struck Joslin across the
shoulder. Joslin grabbed shovel and
struck Hanson on the ear, telling him
to the pavement. The paver quickly
recovered and jumped to his feet, took
the shovel from the teamster, struck

Hanson had a much swollen and in
famed ear.
Joslin pleaded guilty to the charge,
and in extenuation said he was not told
to keep off the newly laid pavement
until he had driven on it. He said he
did not know it had just been put
down, and that Hanson acted hastily.
Hanson said he had much trouble
with teamsters who drive over the
freshly laid pavement, and declared his
temper was sorely tried almost every
day He warned the teamster to keep
off the strip which had been ruined by
Joslin's wagon, and said his request
had been ignored.
After hearing the testimony of the
witnesses Justice Austin fined Joslin $40
