CONTROL OF HER CHILD Bitter Contest Is Practically Brought to a Close in Winifred Le Febre Case —— | |CONTEMPT NOT PRESSED | Mother Is Triumphant Over the Effort of David Hyman, the Parent by Adoption | L | The proceedings instituted by Mrs. Grace E. Freitas, wife of a druggist in | Stockton, to regain possession of her daughter, Winifred Le Febre, 7 years of | age, were practically brought to a close i in Judge Dunne’s court yesterday. The | | case was continued for two months, ‘ and meantime the child will remain in ' | the custody of her mother, and if noth- ‘ ; ing unforeseen happens she will con- | tinue to remain with her. | At the time of the child's birth Mrs. | Alice Le Febre, its grandmother, gave ! it into the custody of Rev. J. W. Dan- | fels of the Children's Home Finding So- | ciety without the mother’s knowledge | or consent. Through him the child went | into the possession of David Hyman, a | | jeweler in Oakland, who later trans- | ferred his business to this city. Hyman ; took out adoption papers and the child was baptized as Fern Beatrice Hyman. | Last year when Mrs. Freitas learned for the first time where the child could ! be found she called upon Hyman and made a demand upon him for its re- turn, which was refused. Thereupon she applied for a writ of habeas corpus | before Judge Dunne. At the hearing | Hyman declared that he loved the child and would do anything rather than surrender her. The case was continued, and meantime Hyman disappeared | with the child. All efforts to trace thei whereabouts were futile until recentl when they were located in Chicago. Hyman was induced to return with the child and he appeared in court with her yesterday. His attorneys pleaded his great love for the little one as an excuse for disobeying the order of the court, and the Judge in the circum- stances did not punish him for con- tempt. Hyman again pleaded for po: session of the girl, but the Judge or- dered her restored to her mother, con- | tinuing the case for two months.

The notice says: “You are hereby‘notified that in ac- cordance with the power and authority given me as provided in section 4, or- der 214, Board'of Supervisors; I shall proceed at the expiration of forty-eight { hours, beginning at 8 a. m: Monday, | April 3, 1905, to take down and re- move poles and overhead construction remaining in all underground districts not exempt under the provisions of the order.” ; ~ The time limit granted to:any cor- poration or individual to remove their poles in underground district No. 1, which are used by the fire alarm and police telegraph until such time as the Department of Electricity can remove ; its wires therefrom, has'long since ex- | pired. The companies whose poles and wires are to be taken down by Hewitt according to his notification are: The [San Francisco Gas and Electric Com- . pany, Pacific States Telephone Com- | pany, Mutual Electric Light Company, i American District Telegraph Company, | San Francisco Electric ' Protective | Company, Independent Messenger Company, Bay City Special Messenger | Service, Municipal Burglar Alarm { Company, Spring Valley Water Com- pany, Western Union Telegraph Com- | pany, Postal Telegraph Company, Central Light and Power Company, | California Special Mesenger Service, | Pacific Auxiliary Fire Alarm Company, Direct Line Telephone Company, So- | cial Telephone Company and Gold and Stock Telegraph Company. The San Francisco Electric Protec- tive Company is the burglar alarm | concern which was allowed by Hewitt | to string overhead wires, despite the ifact that its franchise obtained from wires to be placed underground. Some | of the minor companies named en- | gaged in messenger service have re- | ceived no permit at all to string over- head wires. —_————— Champnagne.

First it was a bill to establish conditional marriages—to separate all husbands and wives after they had lived together ten years. Then came a bill abolishing all di- vorce.

He asked her to return to him, and on her refusal he shot and killed her. He at- tempted to shoot himself, but only in- | flicted a flesh wound. David Robinson and Francis James, | Who vleaded guilty in Judge Dunnes court to a charge of attempted burg- j lary. appeared for sentence yesterday. { Robinson was sentenced to serve one vear in the County Jail and James five months.

Smith, who is hardly out of his teens, broke into the grocery stores of Mrs. ‘W. J. Hughes, 1534 Golden Gate avenue, and John Rusch, 1601 Turk street, on the night of January 8. When he plead- ed guilty he said he had committed the | burglaries while under the influence of liquor and in a boastful spirit. His at- | torneys had asked that he he allowed | to go on probation, but the Judge, after making inquiry into his past life, thought the law should take its course.
