ACCUSES HIS FATHER OF
NEGLECTING TO PROVIDE
Son Declares He Has Been Supporting
Family Since Parent Went Away
with Woman Five Years
Ago

A sad story of parental neglect and
cruelty was told yesterday to Deputy
District Attorney Arthur Keetch by
Roy Grant Of 149 West Fourteenth
street, on behalf of himself and his
three brothers, aged z, and IA years
Young Grant is % years of age and
work for Varney & Green. He
charges his father, E. w. Grant, with
failure to provide for his children and
with neglecting them during the past
few years.
According to the story told by young
Grant, his father, E. w. Grant, de-
serted his wife and the mother of his
four children about five years ago. He
did this, says the son, in order to go to
another woman. The mother died about
a year ago, and since then the three
younger children have been living with
an aunt in Watts. Roy Grant has been
earning his own living and has been
endeavoring to help take care of his
younger brothers. He asserts that his
father has refused to contribute to the
support of his children or have any
thing to do with them. A complaint
will be issued against the father, who
will be given a chance to explain his
conduct

GOES TO PRISON TO
SAVE FAMILY HONOR
Youth Refuses to Ask for Probation,
Fearing That His Mother
Would Learn of His
Offense

Thomas Sanford, 19 years old, al
though offered an opportunity to apply
for probationary sentence, told Judge
Wilbur yesterday he would rather go
to the penitentiary if his application
for liberty meant that his mother would
hear that he had pleaded guilty to a
charge of stealing.
Sanford acknowledged he had stolen
SIS and a kodak from the Pierce Photo
Supply company.
Asked why he would not fill out an
application for probation, the young
man said he did not wish to add to his
mothers burdens. MY father is dead
and my mother is now supporting five
children as best she cam said San
ford. II do not know what my term
in the penitentiary will be, but What

HOLLYWOOD TO PLAY
CROWN CITY TODAY
FoothiII Basketball Team Confident of
Defeating Pasadena High Boys and
Duplicating Feat at Long
Beach Saturday

HOLLYWOOD, Jan. 14.-The local
high school basketball team will play
its fourth league game today on the
Pasadena high school courts. Holly
wood has made a fair record in the
league contests and has defeated some
fast teams, including the crack Har-
ward quintet. Pasadena has done very
little in the schedule thus far, and the
foothill five expect to roll up the score
to a high point.
The next day the team will play the
Long Beach five at that place. Har-
ward defeated the SANDAL boys by the
same score that Hollywood defeated
the military quintet, so that in all
portability the high school team will
come out victorious. During the rainy
days the boys have been keeping up
their practice in the gymnasium under
the coaching of Charles Websted.
Following is the lineup for today's
contest: Robert Mclaughlin, Arthur
Hill and Clyde Potter (captain) for
wards; Will Candee, center, and Jack
Claypool and MILFORD Taylor, guards.
