FOR TINY NOMADS
Children of Divorced Couple
Have Moved Four Times in
a Year
Now Remarked Mother and
Aunt Are in Legal Fight for
Guardianship

The provisions of a guardian for two
little girls scarcely out of their baby
hood, who, since the divorce of their
parents little more than a year ago
have known four different homes and
soon will know a fifth, occupied the
puzzled attention of Judge Trout yes
terday. Evelyn and Eta Pinnick. aged
Z and respectively, are the young
homeseekers, and upon them has fallen
the real hardship of their parents legal
separation.
Their transient way of life in the
last twelvemonth has been along the
following course: First they lived with
both their parents; then, after the di-
vorce, with their mother, Elizabeth Pin
nick; next with their grandmother,
Jane Aiken, and at the present time
with Mrs. F. L. Fawx, who is no rela-
tive.
There is now contest for the guar
dianship of these move along children
between their mother, Mrs. F. L. Will
son, who has remarked, and their aunt,
Henrietta Jorgensen, sister of their
father. Pfnnick, the father, has died
since the divorce, and so has the chill
dren's grandmother. Mrs. Jane Aiken.
The girls were originally awarded to
the custody of their mother together
with their two brothers, who are older.
but as she was compelled to earn her
own living she consented to allow Mrs.
Aiken to care for the girls. Now her
second husband is willing to have the
whole family reunited, but Henrietta
Jorgensen, the aunt wants the little
girls. She charges that Mrs. Wilson is
unfit to care for her own children, and
brought in several neighbors yesterday
to testify that the mother is in the
habit of drinking.
Mrs. Wilson has produced testimony
to the effect that she is a good and
loving mother. Judge Trout will this
morning resume his attempt to find a
permanent home for the peripatetic
children. They are a rosy. bouncing
pair and seem to have thrived on va
riety.

CURRY TO REST
Secretary of State More Seri=
ousIy Hurt in Auto Acci-
dent Than Supposed

The injuries sustained by Secretary
of State Charles F. Curry when his
automobile turned turtle over Men
docino county cliff, are considered more
seriously by Curry's physicians than
by the secretary of state. The Curry
managers in this city were notified yes
terday that upon his arrival in Sacra-
mento, their candidate for governor
was ordered into bed by his physicians,
with strict inhibition against rising for
at least three or four days While
Currys hurts are considered more
painful than dangerous, the physicians
are of the opinion that serious conse
quenees might result if Curry insisted
upon an immediate resumption of his
personal campaign.
Dick Ferris of Los Angeles, candi-
date for republican nomination for
lieutenant governor, arrived yesterday
to launch his personal canvass in San
Francisco and northern California. Fer
ris said that he would spend a week or
up through the Sacramento valley on
a man to man hunt for support. Fer
ris has the personal campaign idea
ana he proposes to meet as many San
Franciscans as possible. not on the
stump, but in their offices, the places
of their employment and, if need be,

NEBRASKA INSURGENTS
TO CONTROL CONVENTION

LINCOLN, Neb., July 25.-The prin-
cipal questions that will receive con-
sideration by delegates to the republi-
can state convention here are 'insur-
gency" and the control of the liquor
business by county option. and from
all appearances tonight the "insur
gents" and ''optionists" control the sit
uation. To great extent the two ideas
are supported by the same people and
a victory for one carries with it the
success of the other.
The temporary organization of the
convention is in the hands of the reg
ular" anti-option wing of the party
through the state central committee,
which has named United States Senator
Norris Brown of Kearney for temporary
chairman. That side is expected to
make strong effort tomorrow to make
the temporary organization permanent.
The opposition, however, will, ac-
cording to the present program, en-
deavor to supplant the senator in the
chair with George w. Norris of Nc
Cook, congressman from the ninth dis
trict, whose leadership in the fight
against Cannon rules brought him
into national prominence in the last
regular session of congress.
OF the S55 delegates in the conven-
ton 366-but 60 less than a majority
are instructed to support county op-
tion, while only 160 have instructions
against it.

came enveloped in flames last night
and she will probably die.
The blaze caught on Mrs. O'Connor's
sleeve, and before any one could help
her all of her clothing was on fire.
She screamed franticaIiy, and a number
of neighbors rushed into her rooms.
They quickly wrapped her in wet
blankets and extinguished her blazing
garments, but were forced to call an
ambulance, as she was suffering ter
ribly from burns of the face and arms.
Moaning piteously the aged woman
was hurried to the central emergency
hospital. where every effort was put
forth by the physicians to ease her
pain. The burns were of the first de-
gree and because of her age there was
little hope held for her recovery.

CHINESE DIVIDED
ON PROSECUTION
Six Companies Fail to Back the
Movement Against Policeman
Who Shot Wong Dick

Merchants in Chinatown are COM
planning TO the Chinese consul general
against the open violation of the law
by the Chinese gamblers, and it is their
wish that Ii Ying Yew, the imperial
representative here, manifest his dis
pleasure toward the proposed prose-
cution of Policeman James McEachern
for the shooting of Wong Dick. Re-
port had it yesterday that a petition
was sent to the consul general asking
him TO file an official protest against
the killing of Wong Dick with the Chi
nese minister at Washington.
Those in Chinatown who are ac-
ouainted with the consul general ex-
press it as their opinion that he will
take no such action. AS yet no such
petition has been brought to him.
TONG PAYS EXPENSES
Members of the Hop Sing tong. which
is the controlling faction of the Si-
IBERIA club, in which Wong Dick was
fatally wounded, are the ones who will
be responsible for any criminal pro-
ceedings against Policeman McEachern.
The club, through Yee Nee, its man
ager, has agreed to pay all expenses
incurred through the shooting and sub
sequent death of Wong Dick. In ad-
dftion to this. the club has agreed to
pay $1,000 (Mexican) to Wong's rela-
tives in China. The Ming Yung society,
of which the dead Chinese was men,
Der, will take no action in the matter.
The businessmen of Chinatown are
complaining against the campaign of
the gamblers, saying that the legiti-
mate business of that district is being
ruined by the constant and heavy play
in the 10 gaming houses. The societies
affiliated with the Chinese Six Com
panies are silently hostile to the gam
blers and thus far have refused to lend
their support 10 the movement of prose
cutting Policeman McEachern. There
was no meeting of the Six Companies
last night.
According to the stipulation made
between the district attorneys office
and the attorneys for the Chinese gam
blers, the police are allowed to visit
the gambling clubs twice daily. Ser
geant Matbeson and Corporal Reevis
were the officers named. Each day and
night employees of the clubs follow the
two officers around Chinatown, and
long before either one can enter one
of the clubs his visit is anticipated by
