BY the Associated Presr. LOS ANGELES, October 16.—A 21- year search for the man she accused of deserting her and their infant son in Chicago in 1910 ended in the Police Missing Persons’ Bureau yesterday, but the meeting was marked by bitterness and a dramatic recital of a shattered romance. While attorneys and police officials looked on, Mrs, Helen Hamilton Robeson Royse, former New York stage actress, | confronted Rodman: Robeson, Los Angeles real estate dealer, whom she | <aid she thought had been killed in an ! Alaskan landslide in 1912. Mrs. Royse accused Robeson of desert- ing her and their son, now 21 years old, in_Chicago. Upon hearing the report Robeson had been killed in Alaska, she married Ward Royse of Pasadena. They went to London, but separated after three years. ‘Throughout the 21 years Mrs. Royse sald she searched for Robeson and learned he was alive recently when his mother, Mrs. Andrew Robeson, said to have been a Boston soclety leader, died and bequeathed Robeson $300,000. Robeson, who at first refused to recognize Mrs. Royse, sald he obtained & divorce from her last January. He said he came to Los Angeles from Alaska in 1019.

LOS_ ANGELES, October 16—The idea behind 14 cans of tomatoes brought by party guests at request of their hostess to help stave off a hard Winter for the poor, has become so popular in society here that about eight truck loads of assorted groceries are handled daily by welfare agencies. It was disclosed yesterday that the Pacific Electric Railway, on request of soclety women interested, has provided a warehouse as a collection and dis- tribution center, directed by the Com- munity Chest. A month ago Mrs. Ben R. Meyer, wife of a bank president, suggested to a group of guests at an opera party that each bring a can of tomatoes to a | gathering at her home that night. They | did, and each resolved to invite their own future guests to show up with some groceries. Now the idea is in| operation all over town, with all kinds of food being contributed.
