MOTHER WANTS Her MYRTLE
Writ of Habeas Corpus Asked in
the Sturges Case.
1t Is Directed Against the Board of
ChHdren's Guardians-Judge
Cole Is Considering.

A petition for a writ OF habeas corpus
was filed yesterday afternC on by John II.
Sturges and Ada c. F. Sturges, his wife.
The petition s directed against the Eoard
OF Childrcn's Guardians and involves the
custody of little Myrtle Grimsely, other
wise known as Mildred Sturges.
A story OF the little girl has already
been published in The Times. The peti
tion recites that on or about January 22,
1894, A gent Lewis of the Eoard OF Chill
| dren's Guardians bound out the little girl
to Mrs Sturses She was to stay with her
| adopted mother until she was eighteen
years OF age.
1t is charged that in October OF this year
Agent Lewis took Myrtle from the Pea
body scLool This action was done with
out any notice whatever to Mr.. and Mrs.
Sturges They have made several efforts
to obtain a hearing before the hoard, nut
without success.
The petitioners claim that they have
for two years and eight months expended
considerable money for the care and sup
port of the child, and that as she hes
not been legally taken away fIOm them
she should tee returned. AS her present
whereabouts are unknown, the writ Cf
habeas corpus is ret torted 70 in order that
A gent Lewis shall be compelled TO produce
her in court.
The papers III the case Were taken to
Judge Cole at his residence, but he had
not decided last night what 10 do in the
matter 1t is underst6 Cd that the Eoard
Of Children's Guardians assert that Myrtle
was cruelty treated.
One member OF the oaTd when asked
why she was taken fre III the sci ool with
nut notice To her adopted parents explained
that it was done 10 avoid scene, as Mrs.
Sturges was very cxCitable and likely to
make trouble ii the girl had been taken
from her home.

of Myrtle. is anx Gus TO again have posses

the Winners Yesterday.
Senator Mcmillan and President May
Issue a Challenge Baltimore
Players Want Game.

The second series of the golf games,
comprising the annual tournament of the
Washington Golf Club, was played off yes
terday afternoon on the links at Rosslyn,
Va. The players say that the links are in
ideal condition, and the weather left moth
ing to be desired on that score.
If the number of non n-players present was
any indication of the public interest in the
game Washington people need further edu-
cation to make them appreciate the game
and it's beauties.
The players of yesterday were the win
ners of the day before, arranged in matches
as follows: p. M. Prescott and w. s. Boari-
man; James W. Lockett and Ralph jenkins;
Horace Wylie and George M. Dunn.
Mr. Prescott won his match by score of
up and 8 To play; Mr.. Lockett defeated Mr..
jenkins with up and to play, whilo
Mr.. Wylie won his match with MI. Dunn
with 8 up and to go.
In an informal match arranged between

T. L. Barker, the steward Of the links, Mr.
May won by remarkably fine play, making
the second round in very nearly "bogie"
record
Mr. Barker plays strong game, and gave
the club president considerable handicap
in their contest. He and Senator Mcmillan
have challenged the best players in the
club for "foursome" match
