LOVES CODE BY SEARCHLIGH1
Ferryboat Captain Nightly signals
Little Deaf and Dumb
Daughter.

Searchlight flashes, mysterious ana
battling, seen nightly for several weeks
off the Richmond and Berkeley water
fronts, which have puzzled East Bay
residents and even made them uneasy
are now explained. They Indicate no
fell plot; they reveal no piratical ac
tivities They are simply a "love code
between a lonesome daddy and MS
lonesome little girl. the San Francisco
Chronicle states
The daddy is Capt. H. r. DunningaE
Of the Santa Fe ferryboat San Pedro
and the girl is his twelve-year-old
daughter Florence, patient In the
State Institute for the Deaf, Dumb anu
Blind at Berkeley. Happily she re-
tains the faculty Of sight, and nightly
she sits, her nose fattened against the
pane of her window, waiting for the
messages that come to her across miles
of land and water.
There appears a finger Of light,
painting half-circle against the
clouds; daddy Is saying: Hello
Three short flashes, Love from dad
dy." Then, as the San Pedro swings
out of range, the light sweeps the sky
that means Goodnight, with love and
kisses"
But the most welcome of all the sig
nails Is the stream of light held stead
ily against the window, through which
peers the little face. That indicates
that daddy is coming on his weekly
visit, and then little Florence Is ia the
height of bliss.

Prophet Thinks
Frisco Has Pot
Lid On Rufnpus
Col. Morrison wants to know
why city has hushed up
Comments on war and
criticiZes ammunition

"Well, l see by the paper that The
Frisco is rubin it in on the Cape
good an proper" yawned Col. Matt
Morrison, the goosebone weather
prophet.
"a few months ago our city afficials
wuz whoCpin' and hollerin' about what
they wuz goin' to do with the Frisco
| knowed just how it wuz goin' to

about what is goin' to happen in the
Cape. Now, what has become of this
Frisco hullobelew? Why, it's all
hushcd up. You can't hear thing.
"Now, l predicted last spring that
this whole rumpus wuz goin' to peter
out about the time it got real hot.
This amt the first time that Cape Cir
ardeau has been fightin' with the FRS
co. an ] guess everybody recollects
that when the people got about ready
to charge the Frisco, the whole thing
suddenly hushcd up.
'If ever we get that depot, mark

it away from EN-. l understand Knc-
hans has been called off, or told to
lay down. At least when he started
to take it up with the Public Service
Commission, somebody told him to cut
it out. You can just say for me that
these business administrations amt
what they is cracked up to be. If old
man Rage had been left there, the city
could have fixed up this trouble with
the Frisco, but the way things is go
in now l don't look for nothin'.

of ammunition that we are sendin'

General busted one Of them big shells

suggested forming a posse to search
for the negro who attacked the little
girl.
Strong apathy against the colored
element of the city was also caused
by the attack of the girl. Several
business men suggested that the Home
Guards be modified in an effort to aid
in the search of the negro.
The negro is said to have been in
the crowd of colored men imported by
Hely last spring. He is described as
being 25 years old, wearing a light
suit and a cap. According to persons
living in Smelterville, who say they
know the negro by sight, he quit his
job about a month ago and has been
seen lounging about the streets of
Smelterville during the past four
weeks.

HASNARROW ESCAPE
FROM DETENTION
Cape Real Estate Dealer Nearly
Fell into Hands Of Canadian
Army Officer.

How he narrowly escaped the hands
Of the Canadian authorities during mis-
visit in Canada several days ago, was
told yesterday by E. d. Hoffman, a
local real estate dealer. upon his re
turn from a trip through the East. Mr..
Hoffman returned this morning after
visiting Washington, Philadelphia,
New York, Newark and other cities
in the extreme eastern part of the
United States.
Before returning from his business
trip, Mr.. Hoffman visited Niagara
Falls and walked across the Canadian
border after securing his pass. Re
turning TO the United States side,
Mr.. Hoffman rode on trolley ear
which was operated under the inspec-
ton of d Canadian army officer.
When he boarded the car, he said,
he found that he had misplaced the
pass which served as a certificate that
he came from the United States. When
the Canadian officer asked for his pass
and Mr.. Hoffman could not produce
the ticket the officer ordered that he
be held. After searching his pockets.
he found the pass and handed it to
the officer, who released him.
Mr.. Hoffman learned later that nc
would have been placed in detention
camp for some time had he not beer
able to show his pass. In order to
secure his release he would have been
compelled to get an affidavit from the
Mayor and a number of citizens of the
Cape to show that he was United
States citizen. This would have re-
