EQUAL RIGHTS IN
CHILD FOR MOTHER
California Club Plans Bill TO Di-
vide Control of Offspring
Between Parents

In order that the existing "monop-
oily" in law which the California father
has over the mother to a proprietary
interest in the child may be dissolved,
the civic section OF the California club
is about to submit to the state legis-
Iature an amendment 20 the existing
statutes. Mrs. Louis Hertz, chairman
Of the civic section, is the most active
worker for the new legislation. Thir-
teen states OF the union have enacted
laws under which the mother shares
with the father control over the child.
But In California the father Is. during
his life, sole guardian OF the child. ac-
cording TO the women of the California
club
This state of affairs the women con-
slider a serious injustice. They would
have IL rectified Senator Black of
Palo Alto is to submit the bill for the
proposed law to the Legislature. The
bill. which is identical with the Colo
rado act, adopted in 1901, reads as fol-
lows:
Every married woman is hereby
constituted and declared to be the
Joint guardian OF her children with
her husband. with equal powers,
rights and duties in regard to them
with the husband.
Upon the death of either father
or mother, the surviving parent,
whether of full age or q minor,
OF child likely to be born or OF
child under the age Of IL years
and unmarried may by deed or
last viii, duly executed, dispose of
the custody and tuition of such
child during its minority, or for
any less time, to any proper person.
In the following states the law makes
the mother joint guardian with the
father: Iowa, Nebraska. Kansas, Ore
gon, Washington, New York, Maine,
Pennsylvania, Colorado, Connecticut,
Illinois. Massachusetts, and Minnesota.
l.
club does not fear any antagonism to
the measure, but is determined that ii
objections should be raised members
of the section will go to Sacramento
I'm mass and lobby for their BILL In
the meanwhile they are preparing am
pie literature on the subject and will
mail personal appeals to every senator
and assemblyman, calling for his sup
port.
Under the law as 1t stands now
said Mrs Hertz yesterday, "a father
can dispose OF his child by will or
deed and is the sole guardian. We
would have this changed into a hu-
name enactment under which the moth
err will have equal power OF control.
We are certain that the measure will
pass.

SAN BERNARDINo, Jen. s.-Huddled
on rocky point no larger that big
sized basket, zoo feet above the boul-
der strewn bed of chasm, unable to
move for fear of falling and unable to
summon aid because OF the roaring
waters OF Lytle creek. over Bonita falls
was the seven hours nerve shattering
ordeal of Miss Gladys Boneacre, a
pretty eastern tourist. The girl has
not yet recovered from the shock OF
the experience, being confined to the
Glen Helen resort hotel
In effecting her rescue from the dan
gerous situation Douglas Champion OF
the hotel narrowly escaped being
crushed under 500 pound boulder. and
a great rock missed Miss Boneacre by a
few inches as she clung to her narrow
perch The stones were dislodged by
her frantic companions far above her
on the top of the peak as they vainly
tried to effect some means Of rescue.
A rope was thrown over a limb of
a tree and Champion iooped one end
around his body. He descended and
tied the rope around the girl. Slowly
hut surely she was drawn up to safety
and then the rope was lowered to her
rescuer and he was pulled up from the
ledge.
In her enthusiasm over the view OF
pretty Bonita falls Miss Boneacre had
made her way TO the dangerous spot
just how she does not herself know,
nor can her companions solve the
course she took.

HOT SHOT FALLS
FROM THE CLOUDS?
Molten Rain Falls on HOusetOps
of Peaceful Town of
Santa Cruz
By Associated Press


SANTA CRUZ. Jan S.--A most re-
markabie phenomenon that has caused
no inconsiderable wonder and conster-
nation in the neighborhood Of the
beach and within a stones throw OF the
big Casino, was reported by Mrs. w.
H. Burns of 24O Riverside avenue this
morning and fully corroborated by resi-
dents of the neighborhood.
Yesterday afternoon Mrs Burns at
tention was engaged by the peculiar
antics OF number OF barefoot children
who were playing in front of her house.
and when she asked them what was
the matter they told her that the air
was full OF electricity and that hot
shot were falling from the clouds. She
also noticed a clatter on the housetop
that sounded like hail, and looking
OF the Casino ball grounds she saw lit
tie white threads OF smoke rising
from the roof where these little red hot
metal globules struck the damp boards.
Every roof in the Immediate vicinity
showed the same peculiar condition.
This molten rain continued from about
o'clock to o'clock in the afternoon
and varied in intensity.
few are inclined to the belief that
this molten precipitation IS due to the
condensed fumes from the Mt. Etna
eruption and that having risen TO a
high altitude they have been carried
distances by the rapidly moving cur
rents OF air and thus cooled have fallen
in a metal rain, some of it striking in
this city.
Another solution of the peculiar in
cident is that the molten rain is due
to passing meteor that has been dis
integrated by the velocity with which
1t has been driven through the air.
John Leibbrandt, a local capitalist
who happened to be passing at the
time. cut into one OF the little mis-
sileA. which are about the size of
No. shot. and declares that II cut
very much like lead.

by hypnotism, is now in Oakland, where
she was taken through main force by
her parents to get her away from the

Girls Mind Affected

District Attorney Free has been Ill
since January ] and has not been ac-
quainted with the facts of Miss Moore's
case. Chief of Police Haley said to-
night that some action was necessary
on the part of the authorities. He has
not decided yet just how to proceed.
Free said that without doubt Miss
Moore had been hypnotized by leader
in the sect and that possibly her mind
was permanently wrecked. He has
been unable. however, to find a law
that covers such an offense or to secure
positive evidence that the leaders in
the sect were using their power for the
purpose of defrauding people or vio-
lating the laws.

Other Families Troubled

Rumors that other people have suf-
fered fate like Miss Moores have
come to police headquarters at various
times during the year and a half since
the sect first secured foothold here.
but none of the cases has been inves-
tivated officially. It is said that a.
number of well to DO citizens have
joined the order and have contributed
their worldly goods to the cause.
Albert Thompson, who resides in
North Eleventh street in this city, has
been arrested a half dozen times for
creating disturbances in the mission.
When arrested Thompson always as
serted that the leaders of the sect had
influenced his mothers mind to such
an extent that she was ready to deed
all OF her property to one OF the
elders
