WANTS HIS CHILD
Representative Wilber Secures a
Writ Of Habeas Corpus.
SEQUEL TO THE RECENT ABDUCTION
The Daughter Must Be in Court
Tomorrow.
B E 20 RE UDGE COX

Representative David F. WILDER of New
York. whose wife, Myra c. Wilber last
Wednesday sued him here for alimony and
support, this afternoon. through Attorney
Leon Tobriner. filed a petition for a wr,t
of habeas corpus. to recover the custody
of Edith NJ. WILDER, the fourteen-year-old
child of the parties,
The petition was presented to Judge Cox,
who directed the writ to issue, command
ing Mrs. WILDER to produce the child be-
fore him in court at 10 o'clock tomorrow
morning.
In his petition Mr.. Wilber recites the
marriage between him and Mrs. WILDER,
stating that the child was born October 30
1882. The 2Sth of November. 1885, says
Mr.. Wilber, he was appointed, in New
Y 1ork, guardian of the child's person and
estate until she reaches the age of eighteen
years, Mr.. and Mrs. WILDER having sep
arated May 15, 1895.
Drove Her Away,
The child, alleged Mr.. WILDER, remained
with her mother until August 3, 1896,
when. he charges, Mrs. Wil5cr expelled and
drove the said child from and out of the
house where they were then residing, which
had been provided by him.
Ine child Immediately took up her resi-
dence with and came into the control ard
custody of her father, he says, and so re-
mained until the 18th Of this month From
the 18th of last September until the 18th
instant. says Mr.. WILDER, the child, with
the exception of the Christmas holidays
spent with his mother, at Oneonta, N Y
attended Washington College, this city
where she had been placed by him for edu-
cation.
The Recent Abduction.
The 18th Of this month, says Mr. WILDER,
Mrs. Wilber willfully and forcibly abducted
the child from the college, and has since
then detained and controlled her at the
house of one E. Quincy Smith, 1924 r
street. this city, refusing to deliver the
child to him, or permit him access to her
therefore,, he prays that Mrs. WILDER be
required to produce the child in court
when the child may be released from her
alleged illegal restraint and detention and
delivered to him.
When Mrs. WILDER filed her suit she OBJ
tanned an order temporarily restraining Mr.
Niiber from molestirg her custody of the
child. and that order Judge Cox also made
returnable at 10 o'clock tomorrow morning

SUNDAY STREET MUSIC.
Further Points of Strictness In the
ReSula tiOns.

In a communication published in yester-
days Star concerning bands of music at
Sunday funerals The writer of the com
munication failed to include in his quota
ton of the law an amendment made by the
Commissioners, so police official remarked
this morning. The regulation quoted reads:
Bands accompanying professions shall
not play except upon permit by the major
of police, which permit shall designate the
route to be followed by such procession
and the hours within which such playing
shall be done. No musical instrument of
any kind shall be played on Sunday In any
of the places heretofore referred TO in this
section.
This was amended by adding except up
on special orders issued by the Commission
ers of the District of Columbia"
1t appears that the music complained of
by the writer of the communication was
permitted because of the Commissioners
having issued special order. and the police
mad nothing to do with 1t. Sunday funerals
with music attachment have always given
the police as well .s the citizens consider
able annoyance and it was not at the sug-
gestion or with the approval OF the police
that the regulation was so amended.

THE SENATE.

In the Senate today Mr.. Hale of Maine
called up bill providing for the organiza
tion of a naval battalion in the District of
Columbia. The bill was passed.
Bills were passed for the relief of Ellis
H. Roberts, late assistant treasurer at New
York, reimbursing him In sum of $500 for
a public building at Altoona, Pa, to cost
$125 600; for the incorporation of the Amer
lean Instructors of the Deaf; to confirm
certain cash entries of public lands in Ar
kansas; a joint resolution forbidding the
general laying of electric light wires in
Washington city until a systematic plan for
condu!ts be adopted was called up by Mr.
Cockreil of Missouri. 1t was opposed by
Mr. Hill IN. W, who said that it was
drawn in the interest of a monopoly. The
citizens of the District. he said, were i'll
favor Of the competition Of another COM
pany. which was seeking to improve the
city.
In conclusion. Mr.. Hill said he exculpated
the senator from Missouri MIR. Cockreil
from any unworthy motives in drawing the
bill, but he was subject to human prejudice
and the bill should be debated.
At . o'clock the subway resolution was
displaced by the Nicaragua canal bill Mr.
Turpie Und), took the floor to make a
speech against the measure.
Mr.. Turpe said the history of conces-
sions and attempts to construct the canal
We're mentioned; all such attempts had
failed. There was nothing extraordinary
in this bill, which would insure the sue
cess of the project.
The enormous profits to be gained from
the successful operation of the canal had
been spoken of. Not a tinancier in any
part of the world would consider the de-
sign. This, he sad was an outcast, d
beegar, a pariah among enterprises. No
private money would be invested in 1t.
although 1t had been widely advertised the
world over. The stocks and bonds of the
construction company, if the appropriation
were made, would have a commercial
value. The stock of the Maritime Mica
ragua Canal Company, depending for value
be worthless.
