Does Not Want Child
With Her

OAKLAND, Jan. 19.-"I am going
back to Sweden soon. as soon as 1 get
divorce, and that's why 1 don't want
this baby any more"
With these words Mrs. Bertha Boehm
renounced her mothers right to her
child, 8 months old babe. in Judge
Wells court today. She did so with
little concern and watched calmly the
guardianship proceedings that shut off
forever her right to call the child her
own and saw the infant taken by
others.
Judge Wells decreed that henceforth
Viola Boehm, the baby, should have for
her father and mother William J. and
Annie Anderfuren, who promised to
rear her carefully and love her as they
would child of their own.
Before the court made this order
Mrs. Boehnl was closely questioned as
to the reason for her Willingness to
lose the little girl. The divorce case
has not been begun yet, she said. but
would soon be under way. Jacob
Boehm is the little girls father.

COURT TO DECIDE
STOCK OWNERSHIP
Bonds of Guatemala Railroad
Held by Local Firm Are
Cause of Clash

George A Moore & Co, finding them
selves in possession of more than $500.
600 worth of stocks and bonds of the
tion company of Guatemala which they
do not know what to do with. ypeti-
toned the superior court yesterday for
instructions as to the disposition of the
securities. The only thing Moore &
Co. are quite sure about is that they
themselves do not own the stocks and
bonds. In their curious complaint they
ask the court to determine the owner
ship.
Since 1889 the securities have been
held in trust by e. l.. G.. Steele & Co.
and by George A. Moore & Co. as sue
cessors of Steele & Co. In that year
Steele &. Co. purchased all the out
standing bonds and stock of the rail-
road. acting under instructions of Juan
Aparicio. Francisco Aparicio Manuel
Cardena and Adolfo Meyer, and rem
dered bill for s640,107 for the cost
The question now arises whether the
purchase was in behalf of the four
men mentioned or whether it was for
others. The stock has been held in
trust by Steele & Co. and their sue
cessors.
The railway of the Champerico COM
pany runs from Champerico to Retail
hulen. Since the purchase of the stock
In 1889 it has been operated by the
Conlpania Anonima del Ferrocarril Oc
cidental de Guatemala
The question of the ownership of the
stock has been brought TO an issue at
this time through the purchase by the
Pacific Improvement company of the
railroad. A. d. Shepard, manager of
the Pacific improvement company, has
demanded that the stocks and bonds be
transferred to that corporation. This
Moore & Co. refused TO do. by reason
of the contradictory statements made
and the conflicting claims of owner
ship"
In the complaint it is also asserted
that the purchase of the railroad by
the Pacific improvement company was
but IAN attempted purchase" and the
court is asked TO restrain that company
from operating the railway. The
Champerico and Northern transporta-
ton company of Guatemala is Cali
fornia corporation.
