If the prayers of 120 parentless
tots. who kneel nightly beside as
many tiny beds pitched upon the
green lawns of the Presbyterian or
phanage at San Anselmo, are as avail
ing as they are earnest, the annual
grape festival given October 4 for
their benefit each year on the grounds
of the magnificent Kent homestead at
Kentfield will be a great success.
Rehearsals held daily under guild
ance of the matron Mrs. +. A Doane,
for the part they are to take in the
program, have made the little ones
letter perfect, and they are ready
now for this supreme event In their
yearly routine.
Women prominent in charitable and
humanitarian work here and in San
Francisco have completed elaborate
preparations for the festival this
year and promise that it will surpass
the results of their efforts on former
occasions.
With the proceeds of the festival
II is planned to enlarge and improve
the orphanage grounds and buildings
and complete the construction of the
schoolhouse, designed to replace the
one recently destroyed by fire.
Among those who are foremost in

Schmidt Enigma to
AIieniStS Who Seek
To Determine Sanity
Third Examination May Be Neces-
sary to Establish Mental Condi-
ton of Girl Slayer

NEW YORK, Sept 26.-Another
mental examination of Hans Schmidt.
confessed slayer of Anna Aumuller,
was made today by Dr. William Ma
bon and DR.. Carlos F. Macdonald, two
alienists employed by District At
torney Charles 8. Whitman.
Mr. Whitman hoped that they
might be~ab1e to report to him after
their first examination of Schmidt
Wednesday. but the alienists found
the prisoner such a physical and mem
tai enigma they concluded a second
and possibly third examination
would be necessary before they could
determine whether or not Schmidt is
insane.
In the event Schmidt is pronounced
sane District Attorney Whitman will
ask that his case go to trial Oe-
tober 23. Che final session of the
inquest will probably be held October
by Coroner Feinberg.
The authorities at the Tombs are
amazed at the number of women who
apply daily for permission to see
Schmidt. Five young women who
pretended to be nurses and who de-
cIared that they wanted to see
Schmidt to study his facial charac-
teristics were denied admission to the
prison this morning

DiSoWned Girl Must

Estate of $500,000
Unless Amelia Duvall Stevens Ap-

Bellvieu Will Be Sold

IT was IL years ago that Amelia
Duvall was disowned by her father
for arranging her own matrimonial
venture without first consulting her
parents. Once since then she has
tried to obtain parental forgiveness.
She failed and disappeared.
And now, unless Amelia Duvall Ste

father Is to be sold at public auction.
Duval1 was a native of France.
When a young man he was employed
by the government of Ecuador as an
engineer and for his services was pre-
sented by the president of the re-
public with valuable nitrate conces-
sions and decorated with the Order
of Simon Bolivar" From the nitrate
concession Duvall reaped fortune

CHINESE EASY
BY SHORTHAND
Form invented Which Enables
Pupils to Read Almost
Anything

Shorthand makes Chinese easily
learned. That sounds and looks sim
pie enough in plain English long
hand, and more simple yet TO those
who know English shorthand.
For just about as many centuries
as the Chinese have been acquainted
with gunpowder, teachings OF Confu-
cius and other famous things they
have written laboriously and pains.
takingly.
Butanow they have come to the con-
clusion that time counts for some
thing, after all, and that~to keep up
with the march of progress they are
attempting in other lines il is neces-
sary to have some sort of writing
which can be learned in q shorter Pc
riod that the FIVE years Of study re-
fquired to read a Chinese newspaper.
Here in San Francisco & form of
shorthand has been invented which
enables girls at the Presbyterian mis-
sion. after three lessons a week for a
month, to read almost anything. The
| inventor is David D. Jones, Chinese
interpreter in the United States courts
Of the city for Is years. He started
out in life by speaking Welsh, and
had to learn English before he could
begin on Chinese.
Where the classical writing o.
China requires from to 16 strokes
of the pen for each character in the
phrase Shorthand makes Chinese
easily learned" only one or two are
needed in Jones system. One hundred
and thirteen strokes in all for that
phrase in classical, and II in short
hand.
Furthermore, this new Chinese sys-
tenn is phonetic, and represents actual
Chinese vowels and consonants. Clas-
steal Chinese speech has no connection
at all with classical writing.
II has now become the official short
hand of the Chinese REPUBLIC and is
being actively spread in Canton prov
ince, where most of the Chinese in
this country come from, by Chung
Wing Kwong, director OF education
for the province and dean of the Can
ton Christian college.
Jones was originally Welsh coal
miner at Swansea, and first met the
Chinese in Wyoming, where he had
come 20 work in the mines. Then he
organized the first real Chinese Sun
day schools in the east. Later he
spent five years in southern China as
missionary. and his son. Elmer A.
Jones, who has demonstrated the
shorthand system in China, is now
missionary there.
