HE TOOK BABY FROM HER

Los Angeles. Sept. 1S.-In a frank
and unaffected manner. Mrs. Dorothy
Dorpols, wife of Frank Dorpols, a Chi
cago baker, and Felix NJ. Modjeski,
erstwhile movie actor, made an open
confession of their regard for each
other today at the Modjeski cottage at
East Newport.
Not until today would Mrs. Dorpols
admit there even was a man in the
question but talked vaguely of her
future and spoke only of the present
as if she were going to get all the
sweetness out of today and let the
morrow take care OF itself. ModJeski,
too, spoke freely of his hopes for the
future. but is bit uncertain as to eX-
actly what fate has in store for him.
Il haven't acted impulsively or fool
ishly in an empty-headed manner as
the world will perhaps think 1 have,
said Mrs. DorroIs. with great earnest
ness My conscience has been my own
guide and l have acted accordingly.

BAD FOR JOINTIST
Fines and Sentences for Alleged
BOOtleggers Here.
A. w. VOgel Draws 81 800 and
$50 Days in Jail.
Spoilers CAUGHT HICK JONES
One Woman Employed to Buy
Liquor From Him.
Hickory Admits Collecting for
Dick & Bros, Brewers.

Today was no day at all for alleged
jointists in police court. They had no
more luck than if they had admitted
their guilt in the start. Here's the
net result of two hours proceedings
before Robert Yates, police Judge:
A. w. Vogel, $500 fine and $50
days in Jail.
James Richardson, $500 fine and
$50 days in Jail.
Hickory Jones, $500 fine and 12o
days in Jail.
They were the only alleged jointists
tried and others charged with the
same offense heaved a sigh of relief
when Judge Yates adjourned court for
the day without reaching them.
Vogel and Richardson were found
guilty on all fifteen counts alleged by
the city in the complaint. Richardson
is a negro employed formerly by Vogel
at the cleaning establishment at the
corner of Tenth and Kansas avenues.
Richardson. the city held, made the
actual sales, but Vogel was convicted
of maintaining the nuisance and of
receiving the profit from Richardson s
sales. Vogel was represented by an
attorney, but it awaited him nothing.
He filed notice of an appeal and his
bond was fixed at $1,000. Richardson
also announced he would appeal to the
district court and his bond was fixed
at $1,000.
Spotter Evidence.
Hickory Jones was convicted on
spotter evidence. Two spoilers, a man
and a woman employed by the city
administration, went on the stand and
told of ordering case after case of beer
thru Jones and IF paying him for it.
One check for $3.50 the woman al
legged she sent to Jones was submitted
as evidence. Jones did not go to the
trouble of employing lawyer.
He went on the stand and told his
own story without questions. He ad-
mitted that he is a collector for Dick
& Bros Brewing company in and
around Topeka but denied that he is
the company's agent. He declared
that the two spoilers wrote out their
own orders for beer and that he mere
ly sent them in, then collected for the
shipments. Still he denied he was
agent for the company Judge Yates
held otherwise and found him guilty
on all four counts. Jones gave bond.

Evidence claimed to point toward
the existence of a lumber trust at
Mcpherson has been uncovered by w
P. Montgomery, special assistant at
torney general, who has ordered three
lumber companies to produce their
books, records and accounts. Testi-
mony gathered in Mcpherson in a
hearing this week followed a COM

Der company. which charged a COM

violation of the antitrust laws.
Montgomery is not at this time pre-

case. The states course will be
directed by the further showing in the
case, it was stated. Evidence during

Mcpherson lumber companies, Mont
gomery declared. Direct testimony
against three comprehensive Lake
Superior, Leidigh-Haven and McPher-
son Lumber company-was secured
during the probe.
H. V. Nelson, a former bookkeeper

antitrust suits. Nelson gave direct and
absolute testimony of an agreement by
the three companies which is claimed

Testimony by Nelson was to the eff

Consequently when an estimate was
asked, one firm would call the others
and give them his figures asking them
not to underbid him."

am very happy now.
My mother would approve, for she
taught me the principles by which I
live-the right to be guided by my in
nermost self. which is being true to
myself, and false to none. My mother
would understand" she added.
Began at Dance.
Il first met Mr.. Modjeski at dance
at the Stratford hotel. where we
danced each afternoon in the Dutch
dansants and finally before I knew it
L was filled with a great happiness,
for we both cared.
But that was not the beginning of
my rupture with my husband. That
happened, or at least a breach was
baby girl whom 1 had adopted to
satisfy my mother longing-the di-
vine right of every wife.
I'VE had been married several years
and l had no children and my sister
helped me scour the Chicago orphan
asylums for a baby girl. For three
months l searched daily, but it seemed
almost a hopeless case to find a baby
girl for adoption. Most of them were
boarded by their parents or relatives.
and l had nearly given up in despair
when a woman whom [ knew gave me
hers. 1t was then six months old, and
1 was to have taken adoption papers
in one year.
MY husband found no interest in
baby, Dorothy Jare. and it grieved me.
He told me it would never mean any
thing to him, but L still felt he would
grow to love her, when one day he
forced me to give her up and took
heart broke. L sought distraction
then in the dancing that I loved so
much before 1 was married. 1 just
had to have something to love about
me.
Not Worried Over Future.
1--WE talked it over several times
before L finally made up my mind to
go away. The day eventually arrived
when 1 felt it an injustice to him and
myself to remain. He felt that l
might change my mind and go back
to him, but L knew his hopes were use
less. That is all there is to tell
MY future? What will it be?" she
repeated the question she was asked.
How can / tell. Eventually, l don't
know where nor how, but 1 feel sure
my affairs will adjust themselves. 1
am very happy and have no regrets
l was really too young to know the
meaning of love and marriage when
1 married Mr.. Dorpols and it had to
come to an end
and when he was told that his beach
neighbors insinuated that he was very
jealous of Mrs. Dorpols' dances and
favors when they ran down to the
Balboa dance pavilions or dined out
he said: Just let anyone try to steal
even one little dance with her and
they will meet with forcible opposi-
ton"
He looked at her with admiring
eyes. then said: Mrs. Dorpols is the
best dancer in the world for ball
room dancing, barring none. Others
have said so, too, but they will never
have a chance to know again by dan

Dancing Not All.
But her dancing is only secondary
after all What I admired first in
Mrs. Dorpols was her fine principles
She is not a capricious woman with
many moods and ideas and is away
above intrigue. She had the courage
of her convictions and was capable OF
living up to them. Women who ac-

lions.
He was waiting a chance to put the
motion picture comedian on the receiv-

not appear, his brother Sydney and a
squad of lawyers representing his in

Charlie Chaplin sued tho Essanay
interests to restrain them from dis
