San Francisco Disgusts Mrs.
a@ Single and Family Will
Return Home Soon

A recent Associated Press despatch
to The Advertiser announced that an at.
tempt had been made by the manage
ment of the fashionable Stanford
Court Apartments in San Francisco TO
evict Mr.. and Mrs. Robert W. Single
and their five little children, domiciled
there, because other guests complained
of the conduct of the children, and
that Mr.. Single had instituted injunc-
ton proceedings to prevent the eyicI
ton. In the San Francisco Examiner
of November 20, appear details of the
pilikia. The Examiner story is as
follows: 1tI
"Fiye childreh sat in a row yester-
day afternoon, in an apartment on the
fourth hoor of the fashionable STAN
ford Court apartments, across the way
from the Fairmont.
"That is, they sat in row for a
second, or so, while the perspiring
photographer said: See the little bird,
and all the other bright things that
have come down through generations,
to make wiggly children sit still.
"Then Butch, two years old, who
celebrated Thanksgiving by growing
so fat that he could put on his four
year old brothers clothes, comfortably,
made dive for the little bird, and put
the camera all out of focus.
Just Kids, That's All
Robert, four years old, hit his lit
tie sister s balloon a terrible smack.
She began to cry. It all had to be
done over again. i
1.-THE baby, smoking her thumb in
her mothers arms, was the only one
who remained quiet throughout these
proceedings.
"These are the children who have
started a row between Robert w. Shin
gle, their father, and L. H. Sly, pro.
prietor of the apartments, which has
found its way into the courts.
"SIy claims they are too noisy and
ordered the family to move. \
"Shingle refused.
"Sly threatened to turn off the lights
and refuse elevator service. kI1IA.|
p, 'hShiBgle obtained an in junctf0R from
Judge Trout, which will be argued on
Friday next.
"The children are Melvia, 5; Rob
ert, Z; Alicia, 3; Fred, 2; and Louise,

WaterhOuse Trust Company of Homo
lulu, on visit with his family to the
Exposition, said:
81 suppose Sly would like TO have
me do like that farmer in Oregon, I
read about in the paper this morning,
put the children in row on the bed,
and give them all poison. But am
going to stay here so long as my con
tract holds, until December -. | am
going to fght this, as m" tier of prin,
ciple. They knew | had five children
when the lease was signed at $3.50
month. The houseioeeper said this
would be good room for them to
play in 1.-The housekeepcr 5 judg-
ment in this matter might be ques-
toned.
"As soon as Butch entered the
room no did an Art Smith dive be,
tween the rug and the highly polished
floor, which caused him to wall at the
top of his voice.
'Children are as scarce as grass
hOPpers in the Stanford Court. Ono

lionaire baby of the late Thelma Smart,
who lives with his grandmother, Mrs.
Fred Knight.
There are a few others, but no
body knew what an old. fashioned fam.
lily was until the Shingles came there
q month ago.
What is your name, little girlt n
visitor politely asked MelVia, the cid

The baby had variety of names,
like Blessed and Angel and 'Tum'

dren to keep quiet all the time" said
their mother. .,'
About this time, Butch fell down
on the glass floor, His red haired sis.
ter ran up, and pulled his hair, to make
him keep still.
"Unele John busted Robert s bal
loon; and there was great time Mrs.
Single remarked:
