BELIEVES DAUGHTER
HAS BEEN KIDNAPPED
Mother of 12-Year-oId Girl Says COD
Did Not Return After Going
to EastIake ark with
Neighbor

Mysterious circumstances surround
the disappearance of a 12-year-old
girl, Exa Sweeney, from the home of
her parents, 416 South Hope street.
Mrs. Sweeney appeared at the office
of the city prosecuting attorney yes
terday and stated she believed a
neighbor had kidnapped the child She
said:
"a neighbor woman asked Exile to
go with her on an outing to Eastlake
park Sunday. We had known. her as
a neighbor for several months and we
consented to let our little girl go with
her, thinking it would be a good out
ing. When it came night we were
alarmed about her. but as it was rain
ing we decided they had stopped with
friends of the Woman'S.
Monday morning I went to see the
neighbor at her house and she seemed
much surprised that Exile had not re-
turned to her home. When questioned
why she did not have the child return
with her she replied she had left her
with some good friend near Eastlake
park. This was not at all satisfactory
and demanded she should go with
me at once to the place where she rep
resented the child to be. She sharply
protested, but finally went with me,
and we secured the park and neigh
borhood, but did not find Exile.
'sTo sum it all up our worst fears
are that our little girl has been kid
naDed."

CHINATOWN SEARCHED IN
VAIN FOR MISSING MAN
Police Fail to Obtain Clue to Where
abouts of ROLAND Poston, Who
Disappeared Last Sum
day Night

No trace was obtained yesterday by
the police of ROLAND Poston, the 21-
year-old young man who disappeared
last Sunday night in Chinatown.
All day yesterday and last night his
mother, Mrs. Ella Poston, and the
police searched the highways and by
ways of the celestial quarter, but no
clew was obtained.
There is absolutely no reasonable ex-
planation of why Poston Should have
dropped out of sight.
He was Of correct habits, was a chum
of his mother and told her all his
troubles.
On the night he left home in company
with Misses Cicely McKennon and Lena
Hancock to visit Chinatown he in
formed his mother he would be home
by IL o'clock, at the latest, and would
only go through the joss house, the
Masonic temple and the curio stores.
When he left the young women in the
Huey company's store on Marchessault
street he promised to be back within
ten minutes.
His companions waited for him more
than an hour, and when he failed to
return secured the services of a guide
to take them back home.

The affair was one of the social
events of the season, and the women
present were gorgeously arrayed. The
great auditorium was gaily decked with
flags and bunting, and the $50 people
on the floor danced to their hearts con-
tent for the cause of charity. Several
hundred tickets were also disposed of
to people who did not attend the fes-
tvitieS.
Dancing began at o'clock, and at
1O:S0 supper was served upstairs. Kam-

and the Naples Saxophone quartet, con-
sisting of G. Cappeletto, c. Zaccard, p.

SHWOBE SAYS REPORT
OF SMUGGLING FALSE

Benjamin Shwobe, to whom was consigned an
empty box which he claims he ordered from a
firm in Mexico City and for which customs
officers have been hunting for Mr.. Shwobe on
the suspicion he was trying to smuggIe dia-
monds into the United States says there is
no foundation for the reports emanating from
FL Paso, Texas, that United States customs
officers had seized diamonds valued at $40, 900.
Mr.. Shwobe, who lives at S17 South Burling-
ton avenue, said:
There is absolutely no truth in the report
of the seizure OF diamonds.
Il did buy $500 worth Of diamonds at Tucson,
Ariz., month ago. The jewels were set in
piece, but the box in which 1 bought them
was broken. 1 attempted unsuccessfully to
buy another box in Los Angeles. When
could not do that L sent to the City of Mexico
for such a box as wanted, because / am en-
gagged in mercantile business in Mexico
When the empty box passed through the
mails at FL Paso, addressed to me, suspicious
of customs officers were aroused that it might
cofttain jewels other dutiable goods. So,
when the box was delivered to me Tuesday a
customs officer accompanied the postman.
II turned the box over to him and showed
him it was empty. To further satisfy the Off
GERS went to my safe deposit box and OBJ
tanned the $500 worth of diamonds These, also,
turned over to the customs officers, who are
holding them until they can confirm my story"

contributed amounts ranging from $50
to $3.50.
The afternoon session was opened by
an address from E. F. Gosney, presi-
dent of the Arizona Wool Growers
association, on the subject of .'The
Judicial Functions of the Forest Serv-
ice" Mr.. Gosney said, in part:
Grazing Problem Treated
II shall treat this subject with spe-
cial reference to the grazing problem,
though the same principles apply to
other questions arising from time to
time in the protection and proper man
agement of the national forest
TT is probably fact that the graz
ing question affects more acutely the
interests of a large number of citizens
than any other class of problems pre-
sented to this department
There is no vested right in a range;
no right the government Is bound to
recognize; yet there is a right that
must be guarded with the greatest
care and judgment, or in this innova-
ton of range control you will plant
the seed of rebellion in the breasts of
some of the best citizens of the coun-
try"
Mr.. Gosney pointed out that under
the present rule forest officials can
dominate the situation and discrfni-
grazing privileges and against others.
These conditions have existed in
certain western forests to such a
marked degree he said, 'that the
local forest official, through his
friends and supporters actually dictat-
ed the policy of the Live Stock asso-
ciation.'
Fight Against Tick Pest

to the live stock industry of Califor-
MIA" was treated by DR.. c. M. Haring,
veterinarian of the University of Cali
fornia He spoke of the fight in this
state against the tick pest, which had
been almost exterminated.
He also described the successful war
against the blackleg disease and the
anthrax trouble and other evils.
An interesting address on Federal
control of public grazing lands was
delivered by Dwight B. Heard, presi-
dent of the Arizona Cattle Growers
association, who said in part:
Our organization in its last annual
convention at Denver prepared a de-
finite measure and adopted the same
by decisive vote of 1861 to 321.
This bill has met with the approval
of the department of agriculture, which
is given charge of it's administration,
and has been presented to congress
under the title of the Curtis Scott bill,
! exactly as prepared and approved by
this organization
]. C. Underwood of Underwood,
Wyo., spoke on the subject of "The
future of the cowman." He said there
were about 1000 stock raisers in his
state who had an average of 200 head
of stock each. They are dissatisfied
with the present system of control of
the public domain,
The meeting was thrown open for
discussion and several members rose
to speak on the subject of the Curtis
Scott bill for the federal control Of
range lands. Delegate Cooler of Idaho
made the point that there ought to be
some clause in the bill regulating the
transfer of tenancies, SO that they
should not be gobbled up by large cor
porations. Murdo Mackenzie explained
that he held Lease on public lands;
that he could not transfer it without
the consent of the secretary of the in
terror and that he believed no law
would be passed which did not protect
the small holder.
