Immigration Service Says Aus

Story of Woman Whom Prisoner
Feared Believed to Have
Been Manufactured
OAKLAND, Oct IL—Captain of In
spectors L. F. Agnew received word to
day from D. J. Griffith, Inspector in the
United States immigration service, that
Robert Charles Holt, self-confessed
thief of $75,000 from the Australian
army at Sydney, would be deported.
Griffith was informed by the depart
ment in Washington that the evidence
showed Holt was illegally in the coun
try and was requested to take steps for
deporting him.
Although Holt told a circumstantial
story of the' theft, it was doubted by
the police from the first. Investigation
failerl to show that the alleged robbery
ha<l been committed. A. C. Ross, Brit
ish consul general at San Francisco,
was asked by the police to cable to
Sydney to learn the truth of Holt's
story. TMa Rosa refused to do, giving
as his reasons that it had not been
proved that Hoit was an Australian.
Upon thla refusal the immigration
department took up Holt's case and it
was derided that he was a tit subject
for deportation because of his desertion
the barkentine Georgians in San
Francisco harbor last May.
Holt gave himself up to th_ Oakland
police, giving- as his reasons that a Miss
Rose Miller, with whom he had lived
in Sydney, had recognized him in the
streets in San P*ranrt~co and he feared
her vengeance. No trace of the woman
—•ms found by the police and she is be
lieved to have been a myth spun by
Holt to secure free passage to Sydney.

CRAIG KIDNAPING
CHARGE MODIFIED
Divorced Wife of Piedmont
Mayor's Son Simply Accused
of Disturbing Peace
OAKLAND. Oct. 14.—What promised
to be a stirring accusation of attempt
ed kidnaping, backed by the united
front of the Hugh Craig family of
Piedmont, against Mrs. Miriam Crane
Craig, divorced wife of Roy N. Craig,
was replaced today by a modest charge
of disturbing the peace, made by her
former mother In law, Mrs. Inez Craig.
Mrs. Miriam Craig was arrested late
Saturday and was-placed in the county
jail. The Craigs said she had attempt
ed to kidnap her son, Gordon Hugh
Craig, who is 5 years of age. feting
in a supposed emergency, Mrs. Craig
was held at the jail without a warrant
and yesterday was released by Police
Judge Smitli on $1,000 bail. Justice of
the Peace Qulnn, after considering the
case at length, today fixed $100 as bail.
He set the hearing- for 10 o'clock next
Tuesday morning. The warrant was
sworn to today by Mrs. Inez Craig, at
whose house Mrs. Miriam Craig called
Saturday in an attempt to see her son.
"I regard this action as due to spite,"
said Mrs. Miriam Craig today. "There
was no basis for having me arrested.
I did not create a scene at Mrs. Inez
Craig's house Saturday night. I did not
attempt to kidnap my son. I am en
titled to his custody. When they said
there was a question over this I agreed
to let him stay there for a time. I
was released yesterday on ball. Today,
when I heard that they were about to
secure a warrant against me, I notified
them that I would be at the office of
my attorney, Philip M. Walsh. The
warrant was served on me there. In
stead of kidnaping. I was only accused
of disturbing the peace."
Mrs. Inez Craig called on Chief Dep
uty District Attorney Philip M. Carey
today and stated that her son's former
wife had gone to the Craig home Sat
urday night and, becoming excited, had
torn her own apron and had used loud
talk. She did not allege that the talk
was Improper or that any threats were
made, according to Carey, who issued
a complaint upon which Justice Quinn
issued a warrant charging disturbance
of the peace.
Young Craig and Mrs. Craig were
divorced in Atlanta, Ga., a year ago,
but the decree has not been made final.
The mother said that the custody of
the boy was given her. Hugh Craig,
mayor of Piedmont, husband of Mrs.
Inez Craig and fath-r of Roy Craig,
said that his son had secured control
of the boy and had had his parents
chosen to be the boy's permanent cus
todians. It was this arrangement,
which he said- had been made by the
court in Atlanta, which the mother of
the child was said to have violated
when they had her arrested Saturday
night.
WOMAN AND CHILD
REPORTED MISSING
OAKLAND, Oct 14.—The disappear
ance of Mrs. Grace Seyfeld and her 2
year old baby was reported to the po
lice today by the husband and father,

terday afternoon with the child, saying
that she would return in the evening.

LAWYER REBUKED
IN OPEN COURT
Attorney E. E. Huffaker Grilled
for Representing Two
Sides of Case
OAKLAND, Oct. 34.—"You have dis
regarded the elemental principles of the
legal profession in appearing on both
sides of a case," said Judge F. B. Og
den to Attorney E. E. Huffaker to
day. "If an attorney takes one cent
as a retainer from a party to a suit
the attorney is bound to the day of his
death to the. interests of that party.
I suggest that you obtain a book giving
you an outline of what is- expected in
common decency of attorneys who seek
to practice law."
Huffaker had represented Charles E.
Donnelly against A. W. Gamble in the
matter of the estate of the late Walter
Herbert Gamble, Donnelly as executor
of the will, represented by Huffaker,
won in the contest. Later Huffaker
went over to Gamble, and finally ob
tained an assignment of his Interest
from Gamble. Today he objected
strongly to the payment of claims
against the estate which Donnelly as
executor of the -will had Incurred while
Huffaker was representing Donnelly.
It was this which brought the rebuke
from Judge Ogden.
Gamble was the father of Walter
Gamble, and Donnelly a halfbrother.
The will directed that a house and lot
in the youth's name, located In High
street, Fruitvale, be sold and the money
divided between Gamble and Donnelly.
Distribution of the estate has been
badly complicated by judgments which
have been made against it and also
against A. W. Gamble. Fred W. Schell
has a judgment against Gamble for
$1,834, and he sought to have this or
dered paid before the estate, was dis
tributed. Donnelly, who now is rep
resented by Attorneys Snook & Dutton,
objected, and Judge Ogden continued
the case one day.

I OAKLAND, Oct. 14.—Representatives
of the Pacific Telephone and Tele

the company, which are being investi
gated by the exchange. IT. C. Brown
lee, district manager, and H. S. Carpen
ter, commercial manager of the com
pany, were invited to attend.
The Investigation was begun weeks
ago by the exchange. The secretary was
instructed to request the representa
tives of the telephone company to ap
pear at a meeting, but the request was
misunderstood and an invitation was
extended to the civic body to send an
investigating committee through the
plant.
This committee was comprised of
Secretary Wilbur Walker, J. C. Downey
and E. A. Young. They visited the plant
and reported.
Tt was found that apparently every
thing was being done to facilitate a
rapid and satisfactory service and the
situation will be set forth by the repre
sentatives of the company tomorrow
night.
The complaints came mostly from the
residence section and outskirts. The
company says it has not sufficient ap
paratus to meet the business, which in
creased 40 per cent in the last two or
three months. More apparatus is ex
pected soon and better service is prom
ised.

HOT FLASHES.
Women in middle age often complain of hot flashes. They are at that stage
of life when their delicate organism needs a tonic and helping-hand which only
Dr. Pierces Favorite Prescription can give them. Many women suffer needlessly
from girlhood to womanhood and from motherhood to old age—with backache,
dizziness or headache. A woman often becomes sleepless, nervous, " broken
down," irritable and feels tired from morning to night. When pains and aches
rack the womanly system at frequent intervals, ask your neighbor about
Doctor Pierces Favorite Prescription. %

Obsolete Law Is Restored in
Oakland at Request of
Social Workers
OAKLAND, Oct. 14.—After a lapse of
many years, curfew rang in Oakland
tonight, following an order issued to
day by Chief of Police Petersen. He
instructed the patrolmen to place all
minors found on the streets after 9
o'clock, at which hour the fire bells
and whistles were pealed in all parts
of the city, under arrest.
The order was issued following a con
ference with Petersen frith the Chilli's
Welfare league, the probation office,
and a number of women's civic organ
izations. Many complaints had been
made that children refused to keep
off the streets and Petersen was asked
to enforce the law which has been
obsolete so long.
Curfew will be sounded every night
and Petersen said today that the law
would be strictly enforced.
