MOTHER SEEKS MONEY
LOANED SONS F|ANCEE
Especial to The Herald)

SANTA BARBARA, Dec. 27.-Judge
Crow of the superior court today de-
MED the petition of Sylvia L. p.
Brownell. a wealthy society woman of
Montecito, asking that Mrs. Louise w.
Timson, a beautiful woman who is
known socially in Paris and New York,
produce a letter alleged to have been
written to her by one e. P. Stone, a
millionaire clubman of Boston. The
letter was alleged to have implicated
Stone in the marital troubles of the
Timsons. even to the extent of being
the object of Mrs. Timson's affections.
The court held it was not relevant.
The court, however, did order Mrs.
Timson to answer many questions in
relation to $500 which Mrs BroWnell
alleges she loaned to the woman.
According to the evidence in the case,
William A. w BrOwnell, son of the
complainant, and Mrs. Timson, whose
husband is a resident of Paris, We're
to have been married upon her secur-
ing a divorce. On her promise. Mrs.
Brownell alleges that she loaned Mrs.
Timson the money and that Mrs. Tim
son gave her notes for it.
A year ago Mrs. Timson and young
Brownell had a furry, the woman hav-
ing given her heart to another. As a
result, the Brownells are endeavoring
to get the money back.
AS a counter-suit Mrs. Timson has
entered suit against William A. w.
BroWnell for an automobile, piano and
other luXuries which she alleges she
gave him during the courtship. When
Mrs. Timson was placed on the witness
stand she refused to answer many
questions, and the court ordered her
to answer practically all of them ex-
cepting those relating to the Boston
millionaire.

BOARD FORMALLY
NAMES SEBASTIAN
Galloway Extends Hand of Con-
graduation to Successor
as Chief of Police

Charles e. Sebastian was appointed
chief of police by the police commits
sion last night and will assume his
duties as head of the department Jan
uary 8, when Chief Galloway will re-
tire.
In the meantime Lieut.. c. f. Sebas-
tian will enjoy a years leave OF an
sence without pay. The leave of alb
SenCe is given to the official and not
the man, for the two are the same, but
.uy aroViding the technical leave OF
absence Chief Sebastian can return to
hie oivil service position as lieutenant
when his term as chief expires.
Mnen the commission made the APP
pointment last night Chief Galloway
was the first to extend his hand to
Chief Sebastian in congratulation, and
his smile appeared genuine and there
was a beam of real pleasure in his eye
as he said: Lieut. Sebastian and l
have understood each other all the
time"
When the commission had taken
its action Sergeant-at-Arms Matus-
CoVioh was sent to escort the new chlet
from al outer room, and there was a
blush of embarrassment on Sebastian s
lace when ne appeared before the com
mission. But he told the commission
ers that he appreciated the RESPONSE
bilities of the position and that he
would try to bring the department to
the highest point of efficiency so that
when his term of office expired the
public could say his appointment had
not been mistake.
The mayor instructed Chief Sebas-
tian to gather as many members OF
the force as can be spared at central
station at o'clock January 8, where
the commission will meet them and
have friendly chat.
Chief Galloway's resignation was ac-
cepted with expressions of regret from
every member of the commission.
Commissioner Wellborn said that he
was convinced that Chief Sebastian
would find things in better shape in
the department because Galloway had
been in it than Galloway found when
he took possession.

GILDED LOVE ROMANCE OF
MONTEClTO is SHATTERED
MiIIionaire's Daughter Seeks a
Separation from Husband
(snecial to The Herald

SANTA BARBARA, Dec. 27.-Mon-
tecito friends of Mrs. Rachel Peabody
Frazier have not received confirmation
of her reported divorce from Frank
Duff Frazier. They have been expect
ing the news, however as it has been
known here for months that the woman
had applied for separation.
Mrs. Frazier left here several weeks
ago TO, Albany N. Y, to visit her
father F. F. Peabody, the linen manu-
facturer. Frank Duff Frazier is now
in Medford, Ore. The first breach that
arose between Mrs. Frazier and her
husband occurred in this city and was
due, it is claimed, to his reckless be-
havior. He was an intimate friend
of the late Nat Moore, who committed
suicide in Chicago a year or more ago,
and they were boon companions in
Santa Barbara. At that time, it is
said, Mrs. Frazier gave her husband
his choice of herself or the fast life
and he is said to have chosen the
latter. F. F. Peabody has purchased a
fine homesite in Montecito and is now
preparing to build palace on it. His
daughter lives here more than six
months each year.

GUNS DRAWN, 3 MEN
ARREST BURGLAR, 8
Arthur Ancenas CraWls Into
Printing Establishment and
Packs Goods in Bag

only years and small for his age,
Arthur Ancenas of 617 Banning street
showed a remarkable knowledge of the
modern methods of professional burg
lars when he crawled into the second
story window of the job printing es-
tablishment of f. A Harrington, 1882
South Spring street last night, located
his loot with the aid of an electric
fiashlight, then packed the stolen goods
in a large bag.
The free use of the flashlght re-
suited in the lads downfall. He was
taken into custody by Patrolmen
OHowell. Pickett and T. w. Miller
three of the largest men in the police
department-and booked at the central
police station on a charge of burglary.
A woman employe of the printing
plant returned for something she had
forgotten When she saw the flashes
inside the Office she ran to the street
and told Patrolman O'Howell that a
burglar was ransacliing the place.
O'Howell enlisted the services of Flick
EFT and Miller and the three men, hav-
ing in mind a desperate conflict with a
clever burglar, drew their revolVers and
began an investigation. They found
that entrance had been obtained by a
window opening on an adjoining roof,
After searching the place and finding
evidences Of the burglars depreda-
tions, the officers We're una BILE to To-
cate the intruder. They then began
a systematic search of the building
and found the culprit, who weighs less
than sixty pounds, hiding in a closet
at the end of the hall.
The bag, such as is used by messen-
gets and newsboys, was filled to point
of overlooking with pencils, cards,
type; colored ribbons, sheets of postage
stamps and an assortment of other
articles of smaller value. The collec-
ton was almost too heavy for the lad
to lift and one of the officers carried
it to the police station.
The youthful burglar admitted haV-
ing entered the place and told the Off
GERS how he climbed out on the roof,
then raised the window, which was un-
locked, and got inside. He denied
being the owner of the fashlight He
said it belonged to his father and he
was taking it home to him.
The boy said he robbed another office
on Spring street and obtained some
money. He said it was "a long time
ago" and he could not remember how
much he got or what office he en-
tered. He told the police that a man
met him on the street and took the
money away from him.
When the lad was searched a purse
containing $2.54 was found in his pocket
with other articles of small value.
After being questioned by the Off
GERS, young Ancenas was sent to the
detention home, where he will be held
pending his hearing in the juvenile
court.

COLORADO WOMEN MAY TRY

Especial to The Herald)

DENVER, Dec. 27-A bill to deprive
men of the ballot in Colorado will be
introduced in the Legislature if one
now being framed by men intended to
disfranchise women is presented at the
coming session. That is the answer
the suffragettes have ready for the
men who are seeking to form a mas
culine voting monopoly.
The men base their arguments in
favor of the bill on the allegation that
women have failed" as voters. The
women declare they have been respon-
sible for most of the reform legislation
and most of the reform has been to
correct the mistakes men have made.
