CHARGES DAPPER YOUTH
ISSUED vALUELESS CHECK
Dick Conhain Loses Jaunty Air
When Placed in County
Jail Cell

r. J. Conhain, known about town as
''Dick"' Conhain, was placed in the
county Jail last night by Deputy Con-
stables Bell and Benjamin, who took
him into custody at Hotel Alexandra,
they being armed with felony war
rant charging the young man with
having issued a check on the Bank of
Southern California made payable to
William Hunter in the sum of SIS
without his having any funds in the
bank.
Conhain was taken before Justice
Summerfield, where he timidly inquired
if money would not "fix things" He
received a curt reply in the negative,
but was informed by the court that
$500 cash bail would secure his re-
lease until August 6, the date set for
his preliminary examination.
Conhain appeared dazed when taken
to Jail and after telephoning several
friends looked forward to securing his
release last night.
AS the dapper prisoner gazed around
and saw that he was surrounded by
iron bars he said, "Oh, this is despic-
able. It's all a misunderstanding but
money can't settle 1t now"
Hunter is a Spring street clothier and
alleges that Conhain made a small pur-
chase at his establishment several
days ago, giving the check in payment
and receiving the change.
The prisoner is fine appearing chap
and before being plac d in cell tele-
phoned a friend that he would pass the
night in Turkish bath resort. On
hearing his, one of the jailers laughed
heartily and stated that HammePs
"hoter' has been called many things,
but ii remained for Conhain to name it

EAST SIDE EDITOR TO
WE'D GARVANzA BELLE
Willis C. Baker to Claim Miss
Frances Raiford as
His Bride

Willis C. Baker, editor of the East
Side Interview, achieved what he re-
CARDS as the greatest triumph of his
newspaper career when he assigned
himself to the delightful task Of "in-
terviewing" Miss Frances Raiford on a
matter of great Importance. When she
said yes" in response to the most
important question her interviewer
propounded his delight was boundless.
They will be married at the home of
the brides mother. Mrs. Lille Raiford,
1919 North Broadway, Wednesday
evening at o'clock. The Rev. H. c..
Ferry, pastor of the East Side Con-
gregational church, will read the cere-
money, and Immediately afterward the
bride and groom will leave on short
honeymoon. Miss Raiford is well
known and popular in Garvanza social
circles.
The ceremony will be attended only
by members of the two families. The
young couple were planning to keep
the date of the affair secret, get mar
ried aud get away before any of their
numerous friends discovered them. In
some manner their plans became
known, and these same friends are
planning to at least give the couple a
merry sendoff, even If they do not at
tend the wedding.
Mr. Baker is very well known on the
east side, where he edits a paper de-
voted to the interests Of that section
of Los Angeles. Miss Raiford is a
member of the class of '07 of the Los

friends not only in East Los Angeles

VERA SCHAUPP To
TAKE LONG TRIP
Young Woman Held on Insanity
Charge Agrees to Visit
in North
WANTS FATHERS COMPANY
-----
Wishes of Judge, That Members
of Family Remain Home,
Not Approved
WANTS FATHERS COMPANY

Instead of a hospital for the insane
a trip TO Oregon is the compromise
agreed on in the case of Vera Schaupp,
talented daughter of Mr.. and Mrs
Adam Schaupp of Pasadena, who for
several weeks has fought an attempt
to have her declared insane, assisted
by her avowed admirer, Owen Parrett,
of the Seventh Day Adventist faith.
The compromise was suggested by
Judge Bordwell, and both parties i'm
mediately accepted it with enthusiasm.
The judge further advised that the
daughter make her visit in company
with some one not of her own family,
proposing an experienced woman COM
panion, whom he could recommend.
The parents were opposed to the
idea, plainly preferring that one of
them be the companion. To the sur
prise Of even her attorney, Miss
Schaupp also favored being accom-
panied by her father
Papa needs the trip far more than
do" explained the girl in simple
manner. IF he doesn't go with me 1
know he won't have any vacation at
oil IL ildS pe0Il my IellSlOu JHdL Has
made all of this trouble, and If we
agree not to speak of it I am sure no
trouble will follow"
Judge Bordwell replied that while he
did not care to insist on his views Of
the matter, he remained of the same
opinion. 1t would be much better that
Miss Schaupp be away from members
of her family for a time.
I'VE will let 1t stand that way" said
he, dismissing the case. MAKE up
your minds about 1t between now and
the first of the week and let me know
then. 1t is settled, at least, that Miss
Schaupp Is to have vacation"
owen Parrett, the young man who
originally secured the writ of habeas
corpus releasing Miss Schaupp from in
voluntary restraint did not appear yes
terday, but his attorney stated the
compromise would be agreeable to his
wishes.
