WIFE FAILS TO CONVICT
HUSBAND OF MISCONDUCT
Case Against George de Troost Dis
missed, but Trial for Failure to
Provide Is Still
Pending

George De Troost's case, in which his
wife, Mrs. Elizabeth De Troost charged
MIN with misconduct, was dismissed
yesterday by Justice Sumerfeld, be-
cause of lack of evidence. Mrs. Maude
Day who was also named in the com
plant against De Troost, did not an
pear in court, the officers saying they
could not locate her.
Mrs. De Troost, who followed her
husband from Oakland, said yesterday
that no reconciliation had taken place,
and that she would return to San
Francisco as soon as another charge
against her husband was disposed of.
This trial will take place in Police
Justice Austin's court this afternoon,
DE Troost being accused of failure to
provide for his wife and little daughter.
Another case, in which De Troost is
charged with embezzling $1,000 from
Morton L. Cook of San Francisco. is
also pending in Justice Summerfield's g
court, but, according to his attorneys,
probably will be dismissed, satisfac-
tory arrangement having been made
out of court.
Mrs. Maud Day, charged jointly with
De Troost by the latters wife, is
claimed by the husband to be his
daughter. and one witness, the land
lady Of the house at which they were
staying, was on hand yesterday to tes-
tfy that such was the case.

ARRESTS BABCOCK ON
CHARGE OF STEALING
FORMER AGENT OF COMMON
ERS IN TOLLS
Vice President Eddie Declares Frater.
nal Order Is Not Financially Em-
barrassed and Owes Moth
ing to Claimant

Relative to a report that the Com
moners of America, a fraternal order
having headquarters in Los Angeles
and branch offices in San Francisco, is
financially embarrassed Guy Eddie,
second vice president of the order and
deputy city prosecutor, said last night
that w. w. Babcock, through whose
suit filed to recover alleged back sal
airy the report became public had been
arrested. Mr. Eddie received a tele-
gram at o'clock yesterday afternoon
saying that Babcock had been appIe-
hended in San Francisco on "a charge of
embezzlement.
Mr.. Eddie makes the following state
ment:
Mr.. Eabcock was employed by the
order as an agent in the offices at San
Francisco. Last September we became
suspicious and made a slight investi-
cation, and gained enough knowledge
to warrant the discharge of Babcock
This was done September Is. Now Mr.
Babcock brings suit for $780, alleging
this amount is due him. AS q matter
of fact, the order does not owe him a
cent.
"After his discharge we examined
more closely into his accounts and have
secured knowledge of embezzlements
to the amount of $500 at least.
I'VE did not proceed Immediately
against Babcock, and because of this
delay he probably thought we had
dropped the matter Several times he
has importuned the management for re-
instatement. but he has been put off
until we could complete our investiga-
tfons. Mr.. Wilkes, our treasurer was
in San Francisco last Monday, and
Babcock again asked to be reinstated.
Mr.. Wilkes told him it was impossible.
After Mr.. Wilkes left for Los Angeles
Babcock began suit and Wednesday
an attachment was placed on the offices
in San Francisco Immediately steps
were taken to arrest Babcock
1t is understood Mr.. Babcock makes
charges criticising the management of
the organization, and he is said to have
taken the matter up with State Insur-
ance Commissioner E. Myron Wolf, but
the latter claims he has no jurisdiction
over fraternal orders. Counter charges
are made against Mr.. Babcock, and it
is said legal proceedings will follow
these charges.

door he was at my bedroom window.
1t was dark, and when l asked who
was there, he disguised his voice, try

But knew it was he and told him so. "
Then, witness said, Baird threatened
to kick in the door and kill her, and
she was so frightened she passed a
sleepless night.

feeling, II made one mistake. For

a mistake by not licking her at least
