Sisters Sought; Mother Dying
Search is being made in Oakland for Mrs. Margaret Miller, and Mrs. William Draper, sisters from Redding, whose mother is dying in that city. Telegrams and telephone messages have been coming in to the Oakland police, appealing to them to locate the two women, whose addresses here are not known in Redding, before their mother, who was stricken with apoplexy, passes away.
The sisters, according to the messages to the police, came to Oakland a week ago to seek employment. Inspectors William J. Emigh and Alexis Shefoff are endeavoring to locate them.

More Time Sought in Insanity Hearing
Frances Aletheia Head, lecturer, writer and actress, who was last Friday committed to Agnew Hospital for the Insane from the Oakland Receiving Hospital, has asked for an extention of time for the beginning of her trial on appeal before a jury, to enable her to secure evidence from New York establishing her claim that she is still the lawful wife of Robert T. Head, architect of Washington, D. C., because of irregularities in their divorce decree.
Mrs. Marguerite Head Jr., of Fruitvale, her daughter-in-law, who was complaining witness in the matter, denies that she caused her mother-in-law's examination on an insanity charge in San Francisco recently, as the defendant has stated, and declares she is actuated only by kindly motives in trying to secure treatment for Mrs. Head's condition.

Father Asks Aid to Find Youth

Father Asks Aid to Find Youth
Missing since April 27 17-year-old Leonard Zeb of 3322 Garringo street, Fruitvale, is being sought by his father, who has asked the aid of both the Oakland and San Francisco police forces.
He is the only child and his father can give no reason for his disappearance other than the fact that the boy always had been of an adventuous [sic] nature. It is thought the boy may have signed on some sea-going steamer as his father is a sea captain and the boy has always wanted to follow the life of a sailor.
