Her mother objects most strenuously to the proposed match and last night had a | warrant issued for Feldman's arrest on a | | jrhargo of enticing away a minor. { | When Mrs. Sophte Harvey, who lives at | |1155 Misston street, awoke yesterday | | morning she went to awaken her daugh- i ter, who occupied an upper room. On reaching the girl's room she was , surprised to find that Elvira was not there. Her surprise changed to anger as | she picked up the note which Elvira had left on the dresser. A hurried glance told her ail. Her child had become infatuated : with a man ten years her senior and had left home to marry uim. The note ran: gone to Seattle to ldman. I will be all right, Good-by. ELVIRA. rushed down to the ferry of intercepting her fooi- e should take the train for the north. She scanned every face, but waited in vain, for the statement that Ivira was going to Seattle was merely a ibterfuge. { Her persoral efforts proving frultless, she notifled Captain cf Detectives Martin and Detective Bailey was detalled on the | case. It was found on ing that a girl answering Elvira Harvey's descrip- tion. was seen to purchase a ticket and board the “Coast Line Limited Express” for Los Angeles, at 8 o'clock yesterday morning. . Feldman is working in the Imperial Cafe In Los Angeles. He was formerly a waiter at the Louvre in this city.

The con- | vention was proceeding in the afternoon to-morrow and routine work was occupying the at- - - EEN tention of the delegates, when, incidental v to the task in hand, Engineer M. A. Nurse of the Department of Public Works called upon to speak. favor of the Sherman Island cut. When he had concluded lips, the chairman of the Stockton Cham- ber of Commerce delegation, asked Engi- neer Nurse some questions as to the ap- proval by Colonel Heuver of the Sherman Island part of the plan.

Van Loben d that there had been a mistaken fon In some quarters, which he pro- ceeded to correct. He said that the river improvement work proposed would. not reclalm a single acre of land. - The re- clamation would have to be provided for by’ the property owners. But there were certain preliminary measures that must first be taken by the State. There was no private machinery by which river im- provements could be efiected; nor was it possible private interests for river improvement. It was the-duty of the State, he sald, to take the proper that must precede reclamation. Mr., Van Loven Sels also spoke of the, work of the executive committee of the-or- ganization. Speaking of the proposed Sherman. Isl- |and cut, he said that it was proposed to cerrect nature and to provide a new con- fluence for the Sacramento and San.Joa- rivers. It was believed that the erosive action of the Sacramento River would clean out the lower San Joaquin River. The committee belleved that with an enlargement of the mouth of the San Joaquin the water would never rise much higher in that stream. It was the part of wisdom, he contin- nt for the con- ued, to find the best fluence of the two rivers. .The . matte was before the convention for discussion, Those who were present’ were assembled to create a sentiment in favor of tae proper improvement of the rivers of the counties represented ) per cent In value of the taxable property | State.

Mayor Schmitz welcomed the delegates and assured them that the heart of San Franclsco was as warm toward them as ita-winds were cold. General W. S. Green of Colusa spoke at of to reclaim lands.
