Oudet, who died on Friday at the French Hospital, ¢ar- ries little significance to the busy busi- ness life of the city, but when “Frenchy,” the street appellation of a messenger boy, is mentioned, many will pause to give thought to the pass- ing of a young man who clambered out of the ranks of uniformed mercu- ries into the partnership of a business of his own that gave worry to more pretentious organizers of messenger services and grew and served the pub- lic well. Oudet was the partner of W. Kidd Lewis, otherwise “Kid” Lewis, another carrier of messages, Who had the ‘brains and the capacity to see the commercial value of his calling. Oudet and Lewis organized the California Special Messenger service, that not only garnered an increasing crop of shekels, but brought all the wiles of its \competitors to compass its defeat. A little more than a month ago Lewis | died. The grim hand of the reaper reached out for the other partner Fri- day. A third graduate from the ranks | G. R. Gileck, has taken the manage- | ment o the company. —_————————— CHILD-SUFFERING AMONG REFUGEES IS INCREASING Drunkenness of Mothers Is the Chief Cause of Complaint for Abuse of . the Little Omes Complaints regarding the mistreat- ment of children are increasing and conditions in the refugeée camps are | held to blame, according to the Janu- ary report of Secretary M. J. White of the California Society for the Preven- tion of Cruelty to Children. The great- er part of child-suffering is said to be caused by the drunkenness of mothers. | Bighteen such cases were reported in January, as against six where the | father was the offender and eight{- where both parents were involved. Ninety-seven complaints were inves- tigated out of 108 received, involving | 248 children, of whom 167 were relieved. | Twenty-one of these children were sent | to institutions and forty-six to the Juvenile Court. Nine adults were pros- ecuted and eight convicted. The- complaints involved forty-eight | refugees and sixty others. In addition to the parefital liquor habit the causes of complaint included twenty-six cases | of failure to provide, five cages of de- | sertion by the father and two by the | mother, six cases of paternal cruelty |and four of cruelty by the mother. Des- | titution of parents was responsible for | only three of the complaints. fRR AT L FORGER IS HELD TO ANSWER For forging the name of Thomas Fraacs to a time check for the amount of $11.25, Thomas Johnson was bound over to the Superior Court yesterday | under bonds of $1000. Johnson, who was an employe of the United Rail- roads, presented the check to the com- | pany and received payment on it.
