SEES SON IN DREAM
Boy Had Been Missing for More
Than Ten Years.
Mothers Vision ImpeIs Her to
Write Naval Authorities In
Washington for lnforma-
tlon Regarding Lad.

San Francisco, Cal.-Mrs. Hannah
Friedman, resident of this city, saw
In her vision her eldest boy. who had
been missing for ten years, in the
uniform Of blue jacket Of the United
States navy. SO vivid was the impress
sion upon her by the dream that she
obeyed an inexplicable impulse to
write to the naval authorities at
Washington. The officials not only
substantiated the vision, but were
able to bring the mother and son to-
gether.
The finding Of one son led to the
finding Of another. Both young men
now are working In this city, striving
to save sufficient money to pay their
mothers railroad fare from New York,
Mrs. Friedman and her husband
were living happily together ten years
ago. Their two boys. Mervyn, eight
years old. and Jesse, six, were at
tending school. The little family had
little OF nothing to worry them.
Then Friedman began to neglect
his wife for other company. He gath
cred together whatever funds h
could, and in company with his At
unity and the two children, he wen
to New York. 81

The more Mrs. Friedman thought
of the vision the more she felt that 1t
was true. She wrote to the navy de-
partment at Washington in the hope
of ascertaining whether boy named
Mervyn Friedman was in the ranks.
The letter was referred to the bureau
of navigation. The roll was exam
ined, with the result that the boy was
found.
The tidings were sent to the mother,
who was overjoyed at her good for
tune. She sold the few effects she
had, and with barely enough money to
pay her fare, she hurried on to New
York. She went to the home Of her
sister, Mrs. e. Schumacher, and at the
first opportunity visited the navy yard.
With her heart full Of expectation,
she boarded the Prairie and asked to
see young Friedman. The boy came
on deck. Mother gazed upon son, son
upon mother. There was no recogni-
ton. The mother yearned to take the
boy Of her dream in her arms, but she
feared that she might be mistaken.
Her voice trembled as she asked
II he were Mervyn Friedman and
whether he came from San Francisco.
Then the boy quickly identified HIM
self. When the mother told Of her
own life he mingled his tears with
hers.
Young Friedman then told of his
brother Jesse and of his father. Jesse,
through his aid, was soon found. Then
there was a joyful reunion.
Having found his mother, Meryyn
declared he wanted to return to civil
i life that he might be with her. He
did not want her to work any more
4 Jesse also Joined in the idea.
4 Az Mervyn had two more years to
serve In the navy, it was impossible
for him to get his release unless In
duence was brought to bear on the
authorities at Washington. Mrs
Friedman enlisted the services Of Sen
ator Bourne Of Oregon and Congress
man Julius Kahn Of this city. she
I wrote letters to each, telling OF he1
4 need for her boy. Congressman Kahn
touched by her apepal, submitted thu
correspondence to the secretary o
the navy.
After some delay the navy depart
ment acquiesced in the recommends
lions Of the Pacific coast representa-
tiyes. Young Friedman was given al
honorable discharge. Bidding hi
, mother good-by, he hurried to Sal
Francisco to find employment H

sEMPLE
A UNIQUE METHOD
TO TEST RAMBLERS
Cars Passed Along from Agent to
Agent, to Give Machines the
Hardest Kind of
Usage

A unique method has been adopted
by the Rambler people in testing out
their first 1910 cars. Fearful that some
flaw might escape the eagle eyes of the
factory testers, who give the cars all
sorts of hard tests, the factory took the
first two of the 1910 models and turned
them over to their agents in the east
and the central south and west. One
agent took a. car, worked it out and
gave 1t the hardest tests he could in
vent, and then passed it along to the
next man. Adviees telling of the sue
cessful termination of the tests have
been received here by c. K. Cowan,
Rambler representative in Los Angeles.
Cowan said yesterday.
Each dealer received the test car
from the dealer in the preceding ter
ritory and ran it as long as he chose
over the most difficult roads in his
locality, with the object of determining
for the benefit of the maker any weak
nesses which it might otherwise re-
quire months to detect and might be
overlooked even in the exacting factory
tests.
1.-THE first car made the run from
Chicago to Indianapolis, Louisville,
st. Louis, Kansas City, Lincoln, Oma-
ha, Sioux City and back to Chicago, on
each leg of the journey a different
dealer being at the wheel. The second
car made the trip from Chicago to
South Bend, Toledo Cleveland, Youngs-
town, Pittsburg, Harrisburg, New
York, Providence, Hartford, Albany,
Rochester, Buffalo and back to the fac
tory under a. similar relay plan. At
the end of every stage of the journey
a complete examination of the car was
made by the dealer and reports fur
nished to the factory. Both cars re-
turned in perfect condition.
1.-THE south and west test car made
trip between Louisville and Nash
vile over roads which never before
had been traversed by an automobile
and broke the record between Lincoln
and Omaha. The eastern car made an
unusual record for economy of gaso-
line consumption, minimum tire wear
and hill climbing"

SAYS WATER VAP0R HAS
BEEN LOCATED ON MARS
Lick Astronomer Says Expedition to
Mount Whitney Took Pictures
of Planet

SAN FRANCISCO. Sept. S.-Accord-
ing to statement made by Prof. w.
w. Campbell, director of Lick observa-
tory, the recent astronomical expedition
which has just returned from Mount
Whitney, brought back proof that
water vapor exists on Mars.
The scientists have in their possess
sion as the result of the pictures which
they took from the summit of the
mountain definite proof that the planet
Mars is capable of supporting sentient
beings Prof. Campbell made the fol-
lowing statement.
1--WE are now in position to issue
the strongest statement that has ever
been given out as to the existence OF
water vapor on Mars. If it is found
that the water vapor is sufficient to be
detected under the most favorable con-
ditions it will be evidence along the
line of establishing that the conditions
on Mars are favorable to life. 1t will
not be proof, however, that life exists
on Mars"
The negatives made by the astrono-
mers will be developed at once.

HUNGARIAN THINKS He CAN

Tries to Find Subject Willing to Be
Killed for Sake of Science,
Then Offers Himself
for Test

SOUTH NORWALK, Conn.,, Sept. s.
Thaddeus Tietse, a Hungarian scient-
ist, who has spent nearly his entire life
in an effort to discover an elixir that
will restore life to human being any
time within several hours of an unnat-
ural death, claims to have accom-
plished his ambition and is ready to
test.
So confident is Tietse that he asserts
that he is willing to give himself to
any death save one that removes
part, or from acid, such as vitriol, that
eats away the flesh.
The mere removal of the blood from
the body until respirati stops, suffo-
cation, drowning and like means of
ending life, have no terrors for him, yet
he has not been able to find a subject
willing to submit himself to convinc-
ing experiment.
