Chinese Girl, 13, Is Pro nounced Ward of Court. The Quality Store of Portland HEARING VERY INFORMAL! Veek-End . News: Instinct With Interes Future of Lee Ah Bow Xecided In Whispered Conversation Be tween Judge and Attorneys. .ESTABLISHED 2" "BT ? Lee Ah Bow, II. reputed pretty. Cainese and a ilavt girl was freed from bondage by Judge Kansler of the court of domestic relations yes terday when he pronounced her a ward of the court and gave her into the custody of Miss Donaldina Cam eron of. San Francisco, whose lnvestl- j (rations on behalf of the Presbyterian i Chinese Mission Home In that city resulted In. the discovery of the girl's plight. The hearing- waa informal in the extreme, consisting of a whispered conversation between Judge Kansler; Fred Drake, attorney for Moe On, In whose home the girl waa found, and ' for Lee Bins; Goon, restaurant owner suspected of bringing the child Into America as his daughter: and Kates Jnedecor, counsel for Miss Cameron. Spectators in the courtroom were compelled to accept newspaper re ports that the girl In the case was an attractive miss of superior type as she was not present, during the proceedings- A number of Chinese girls were ranged in chairs at the rear of the courtroom but were not caiied as witnesses. Chinese Offer Fight. Basia for the hearing was a pe tition filed by Mrs. Lola Baldwin ot the women's protective division pre dicated on the investigations of Mis .Cameron and charging that the girl was the daughter of ignorant Chinese peasants, sold in slavery, brought Into this country through Seattle last summer as the child of Lee Bins" Coon, and again sold to Moe On, in whose home she served as the old man's "plural wife." The chief Interest in the case on the part of the petitioner appeared to be the welfare of the girl who had been taken from what was worse than slavery and there was a disposition not to press any charges against the Jailor of the girl in Portland and the i man who brought her here. , On the j other hand. Lee Bing Goon and Moe j Cm showed no disposition to fight j the efforts of the authorities to take1 tie child awav and place her In school forever beyond their control or interference. When the terms of the court order did not altogether please these local Chinese, the pro tests of their lawyer melted before the hint of federal prosecution and fosa.ble deportation proceedings. X t'harsea ReewraeeU As finally determined the order of Jadge Kanz'.er was that "it appear ing to this court that this child has been neglected by her parents and Is not receiving proper care and super " vision, it is hereby declared that she Is a dependent child and her custody awarded Miss lonaldlna Cameron." The order carefully avoided placing on record the charges of the petition which might be the basis of further proceedings against Lee Bing Goon and Moe On but also protected the girl from Interference by the pre tended parent in laler years. Lee Ah Bow will be taken by Miss Cameron to the Presbyterian Chines M.ssion Home at San Francisco where there are JO girls now In training. a ASSOCIATION" OF OWXtltS IS KOSE CITY PARK PROPOSED. lol-oncr Reported at Work in Neighborhood Plan Outlined by Schiller B. Hermann. An association of dog owners of P.ose City Park to protect the canines from the work of a dog poisoner said to be at work In that neighborhood is the plan of Schiller B. Hermann of 1343 Tillamook street. Under the plan, as outlined by Mr. Hermann, residents " rf ltose City Park who have an ob jection to a particular dos will be invited to report that dog to the as sociation instead of being moved to poisonlna;. Mr'. Hermann said that be was perfectly willing to buy any oo jectionablo doc. or as many such dogs as necessary, to stop the promiscuous nork of the poisoner. Mr. Hermann said that he has lost a number of valuable dogs by poison ing, tbe last being Jack, a big KngHsh bu.l. who dropped dead Thursday morning. Jack at one time saved his owner s life when they were attacked by a pack of timber wolves. He waa alo the guardian of the Hermann household and was educated to walk around flower beds and to be gentle, with children and cats. Mr. Hermann is convinced that the poison which caused the death of his dog was set for some other, and says that many owners of valuable dogs In the Hose C:ty Park neighborhood have suffered similar losses.
