GILDED YOUTH GETS
IN SERIOUS ScRAPE
Have Passed Worthless
Checks

Los Angeles, March 9 Edward NJ.
Reed, who is said to be the son of
A. b. Reed, a wealthy lumberman
and automobile manufacturer of Bos-
ton, was arrested here today by Pin
kerton detectives and officers of the
local police department on informa-
ton from Chicago and New York,
where he is alleged to have passed
bad checks. The Chicago check was
for $3.50 and was drawn in favor of
Paul w. Trier, it is said. Since
Reeds arrival here on February 20
he has been known under the names
of Theodore Whitman and Harry
Crassette.
Infatuation for a young lady whom
he met in Boston about two months
ago, with whom he has been, since, is
given by Reed as his excuse for his
actions, although he claims he signed
| his own name to the check. He went
to New York with her, he said and
there started down the primrose
path, with the result that when his
funds were gone he asked friend
to cash worthless check, which
led to the second offense In Chicago
The detectives have located the
young woman who lives in Pasadena
and 1t is said, she is member of {
well known family there. The officers
refuse to divulge her name. Younl

"GRAUSTARk"

II q canvas We're made Of the en-
tire reading public as to the most
popular novel in the last twenty
years "Graus,ark" would probably re-
ceive enough votes to elect it to that
high distinction. George Barr Nc.
Cutcheon, the author might consider
some of his other and later books
worthier of the honor, but il is a
fact that artistic creators are invari-
ably bad judges of their own master
pieces. William Cullen Bryant wrote
"Thanat psis" at the age Of eighteen
and refused to agree with the world
in considering IT the gem Of his eff
forts-superior TO the work of his
ripper years. The public estimate,
however, is usually pretty correct
one. The book sellers ledgers would
undoubtedly measure in prosaic dol
lars and cents the vast amount Of the
greater popularity of "Graustark" not
only to Mr.. McCutcheon's other
books, but TO the novels of any Of his
contemporaries. That 1t should be
made into play was the inevitable
and Grace Hayward, the adaptor, has
handled Mr.. McCutcheon's book with
sympathetic discretion, following the
story closely.

a half filled church in quiet part
Of the city. while the crowd which
expected to see them come and 80 a
mile away wondered how it had all
happened.
Announcements in local newspapers
that the President would occupy this
morning the Lincoln pew in the New
York Avenue Presbyterian church
brought out a crowd of curious per
sons who filed that broad thorough

traffic was running and caused the
prompt dispatch Of ten policemen to
keep path clear for the expected
guests. Long before II o'clock the
hour set for the beginning of the ser.
vice, the ushers had to announce
that all seats had been taken AMI
the more persistent who wished to
enter had to be content with stand
ing or remain on the sidewalk.
Many of them waited until noon
before they were convinced that the
President was not coming, and even
then left reluctantly and with many
hopeful glances toward the White
House. The few faithful who remain.
ed after the service had an opportun-
ity to see Vice President and Mrs.
Marshall returning from the New
York Avenue church to their hotel.
The President. Mrs. Wilson and
Miss Eleanor, worshiped at the Cen.
trail Presbyterian church, fully a
mile away from the New York av-
enue editice. They started shortly
before II o'clock in White House
car for New York avenue, but one
glimpse of the crowd made the Presi-
dent change his mind.

few persons at the door when the
presidential party came out. They
were driven back Immediately to thi
White House through streets nearly
deserted. The absence of the familiar

who followed President Taft on hi
