BEGIN BATTLE FOR
BALDWIN MILLIONS
Girl Demands Recognition as
Lucky's Daughter and Two-
Ninths of the Estate
COURT ACTION IS FILED
Partitioning of the $11,000,000
Halted Pending Fight-Jury
Trial Being Sought
Beatrice Anita Turnbull Baldwin,
through her g-uardian and his attor
neys, yesterday filed In the probate
department of the superior court the
long expected contest over the distri
bution of the estate of the late Ellas
J. (Lucky) Baldwin, millionaire turf
man.
As the result of the action filed the
petition Ira partial partition of the
$11,000,003 estate of Baldwin, which
caused the contest and which Is said
to have been tiled to bring matters to
a focus, has gone over until December
1, when the contest, according to pres
ent plans, will be begun.
Already there Is talk of further ar
gument in the matter, it being under
stood that the youthful litigant's at
torneys desire a Jury trial, and that
the two daughters who asked for a
partial distribution do not.
Miss Turnbull-Baldwin, through her
guardian, Leo J. Maguire, asks for a
(laughter's share In the estate, as she
alleges she is the offspring of Bald
win and Mrs. Lillian Ashley Turnbull.
As guardian of "the estate of Beatrice
Anita Baldwin and as guardian of the
estate of Beatrice Anita Turnbull,"
Maguire "reserves the right to contest
the alleged last will and testament of
Ellas J. Baldwin ami the probate
thereof." and he so answers the peti
tion of Mrs. Clara Baldwin Stocker
and Mrs. Anita Baldwin McClaughry.
daughters of Baldwin, for the partial
distribution of the estate of their
father, that was filed in their behalf
by Bradner W. L<xV.
CLAIMS dIRI.. IS DACOIITBR
Maguire recites that July 25 of this
year lie was named the guardian of
the estate of the young grfl who is be
hind the contest and that he qualified
lor Burh position August S.
He then denies that Mrs. Zelba
Selby is a daughter of Baldwin, and
that she and the other petitioners are
the only daughters of children of the
dead horse owner, and declares that
Beatrice Anita Turnbull Baldwin Is a
legitimate daughter of the turfman,
having been born December 7, 1893.
Another unegation contained in the
contest Is that in the last will and tes
tament of Baldwin, drawn by Bradner
W. Lee, Baldwin omitted to provide
for the minor in whose interests the
contest was brought.
It Is asserted that the omission does
not appear to be intentional, that as
sertion being followed by another to
the effect that Beatrice Anita Turn
bull Baldwin Is entitled to two-ninths
of the estate of her alleged father
after all of the debts have he.en .satis
fied, and that neither Mrs. Stocker
nor Mrs. MeClaughry is entitled to a
distribution of the property as they
request.
The formal allegations havliur
reached an end, the equally formal
prayer follows, the request for a de
nial of the daughters' request for a
distribution; the division of the prop
erty ho that the young alleged heir Is
given her rightful share; and that she
be decreed the legitimate daughter of
E. J. Baldwin, being Included.
CONTRST HBOINS DBCXHBKR I
Miss Baldwin and her guardian, Mr.
Maguire, are represented In the ac
tion by Isidore B. Dockweiler 'and
Hutton & Williams of Los Angeles;
Walter B. Grant of Boston, and Wal
ter L. McCorkle of New Tork.
They said yesterday that Miss Bald
win and her mother, Mrs. Turnbull,
Who left last Friday morning for
Brookline, Mass., a suburb of Boston,
presumably must be at or nearlng j
their destination, as they have not
heard to the contrary. Miss Baldwin !
was anxious to return to Brookline to |

present plans, she will not return to
Los Angeles until the beginning of .
the contest December 1.

ready to be swung to the breeze.
Stepping briskly toward the flagpole
Judge Wellborn lifted his hat with one

he said; <
"When Mr. Dlshman Invited me to

ever, I want to thank him for tho
notable part In the exercises assigned

ENTERPRISING MERCHANT
WILL GIVE AWAY AUTO
Desmond Offers Packard Limou
sine as Prize to Visitors
at Big Store
A 1011 Packard limousine automo
bile on display just inside the entrance
of Desmond's clothing and furnishings
store at Third and Spring streets will
attract much attention today. The ma
chine is a handsome one, worth a small
fortune, and will be given away ab
solutely free by C. C. Desmond, pro
prietor of the store, who has arranged
as novel a contest as ever has been
held In Los Angeles, with this as the
prize.
Beginning today, every person who
enters Desmond's will be given a tick
et and asked to sign a register in order
that they may be found readily. That
Is all the effort on tho part of con
testants necessary to get a chance on
the big machine.
Most contests have as their joker the
provision that a certain amount of
goods has to be purchased before the
chances on tho prizes are given. Des
mond's contest does not have this fea
ture. As Mr. Desmond expressed it last
evening:
"Every person who wishes may come
In, register his name and receive a
number entitling him to a chance on
this machine. One does not have to
purchase a penny's worth of goods, ei
ther."
The machine is the new 1911 model
Packard limousine, secured by Mr: Des
mond from the Packard factory three
months in advance of the regular time
for coming on the market. It was
rolled into place in front of the big
store last evening and this morning
is on display for all who wish to In
spect it.

RETURN WHITING
BABY TO MOTHER
Court Decides That Foster Par
ents Must Give Up 7-
Months-Old Boy
MRS. WHITING'S SAD STORY
Woman Asserts She Stole to Pro
vide for the Child When
She Found Him
An infant boy, 7 months old, and
his mother, his would-be foster mother,
their husbands and their friends all
shed bitter tears yesterday before
Judge Wilbur of the superior court,
who waa asked to decide who should
have the custody of the child.
It was a pitiful story told by the
real mother of the child, Mrs. Helen
Whiting, who recently was placed on '
probation by Police, Judge Williams I
after she had admitted her guilt in
shoplifting from a department store,
where she waa employed, and tearfully
declared she stole only to provide for
the baby, who was taken from her
soon after its birth, and for wham she
and Its father searched for months.
She asserted that while she was un
der the influence of chloroform, short
ly after the infant's birth, her parents,
Mr. and Mrs. J. S. Enlove, gave her a
paper to sign, only for her to learn
later that she thus had given up all
right to the baby. She declared her |
parents would not tell her where the
baby was taken, and that she and her
husband, the father of the child, Homer
Whiting, searched for months before
they could locate It.
Finally they ascertained, she stated,
that the child had been given by her
parents into the keeping of a home
finding society for children, and that
that Institution had placed it with a
childless couple, with the privilege of
adopting It at the end of a year.
STEALS FOB BABY
Thinking that work would steady her
mind, Mrs. Whiting sought it, but all
the time her thoughts were on the
baby she could not locate. She began
stealing little articles appropriate for
a baby's wear, and in time was caught
and arrested. She was quick to con
fess her wrong to Mr.s. Aletha Gilbert,
police matron, who told her story to
the police judge, ,who in turn gave her
probation.
The Women's auviliary, No. 84, of the
Order of Railway Conductors, heard
of the plight of the girl-mother, for
she is only 18 years old, and Mrs. F.
A. Parr, chairman, and Mrs. G. H.
Hollis and Mrs. Ruby Garber were
named as a committee to aid her. Act
ing under Mrs. Gilbert's direction, they
traced the child to the Los Angeles
Home-Finding Society for Children,
they asserted, and finally they found it
had been given, with the prospect of
adoption, to Mr. and Mrs. Henry Win
nenberg of Pasadena.
The foster-parents hnd become very
fond of it, as had Mrs. Elizabeth Grin
nell, a writer of the Crown city, who
had directed the Winnenbergs to it,
and they naturally objected to giving
it up.
So the case went to rnurt, where at
first everybody was hostile, and where
everybody wept when the young moth
er who never had seen her child,
clasped the fat, blue-eyed infant In her
arms and cooed and cried over it.
After that it was fairly easy for a
settlement.
The foster-parents admitted the real
parents' prior right to the child and
sadly said they would give the baby
back They also presented the young
mother with a Testament, which Is to
be the property of the baby when he
is old enough to read. They want to
have a little say in the control of the
infant for the next week, and will
help Mrs. Whiting to learn how to care
for it. At the end of the week the
actual parents will have the baby ex
clusively. _^-

BREAKS INTO JAIL TO
ESCAPE FROM MORPHINE
Connors Commits Breach of the
Peace to Gain Arrest-Will
Take Cure in Prison
In order that he might be deprived
of morphine, to the use of which he
is addicted, C. E. Conners, a cripple,
appeared at central police headquarters
yesterday and requested Desk Ser
geant McClure to lock him in Jail. Ho
was told by the sergeant that he could
not be placed in jail unless he had
been arrested or was wanted on some
charge, whereupon Conners became so
boisterous about the halls of the build
ing that he was arrested by Motor
cycle Officer Coe on a charge of dis
turbing the peace. He was arraigned
before Police Judge Chambers.
When asked how he pleaded to the
charge, Conners shouted "guilty, your
honor," at the top of his voice, which
fairly shook the windows of the court
room. Conners then told the court
that he had been a habitual user of
the drug for years and that the only
way he would be able to stop it would
be to be locked up In jail whero he
could not get any of it. He requested
that he be sentenced at once, but Judge
Chambers continued his case until
Wednesday morning at 10 o'clock when
he will come up for sentence.
In the meantime Judge Chambers
will endeavor to make arrangements
whereby the man can be given the
drug cure during his stay in jail. It
is likely he will be treated by police
surgeons in the receiving hospital.

With the gas turned on full force,
Mrs. Elizabeth Stewart, 66 years old,
and her husband, Charles T. Stewart,
65 years old, were found in their apart

trance to the room with a pass key
and found the couple almost uncon
scious from the effects of the gas. A

been pulled off the gas jet, allowing

headquarters for the ambulance and
the couple were removed to the hos
pital. Mrs. Stewart was unconscious,
but was quickly revived by Assistant
Police Surgeon Carter. Her husband's
condition was not so serious.
Neither could give ;- coherent story
of how the ga3 had escaped, but it Is
thought that in lighting the gas stove

from his bed to light the stove to heat

says, he returned to bed.

J<shn S. Mitchell, vies president an<J
manager of the Hollenbeck Hotel com
pany; president of the Hotel Men's
Mutual Benefit association; founder
and former president of the Southern
California Hotel Men's association and
director of the Alexandria Hotel com
pany, is to have a successor. At least
he began the active training of tho
man selected by him to take up hia
numerous duties some time yesterday
when his son, Mowatt M. Mitchell, late
football captain and star of Stanford
university, started to work in the store
room department of the Hollenbeck
Not that Mr. Mitchell Is going to re
tire soon. Things will happen to any
one who dares to suggest such a thing
to him. But his son Mowatt has elect
ed to follow his father in the hotel
profession and Mr. Mitchell wants to
have charge of the training.
In the storeroom of the Hollenbeck
the young man will learn values and
the art of buying for a hostelry and
will then go into the kitchen to get a
thorough idea of this all important por
tion of the hotel business. When he
has satisfied his father that he knows
enough about how the Hollenbeck la
run to take charge at any time, young
Mitchell will go to San Francisco,
where a berth is awaiting him In one
of the large hotels there.
Mr Mitchell already has had some
training In the hotel business. Two
years ago he accompanied his father on
a. trip over the United States, during
which the larger hotels in the Principal
cities of the country were visited and
inspected. Last summer he toured Ku
rope, making a special study of the
hotel situation there. Now he Is ready
for the practical side-the side which
the traveling public sees very little of.
but kicks about if It doesn't please
the kitchen and dining room. He com^
menced work yesterday morning.
