FOR SAKE OF THE CHILD
JUDGE ALLEN ASKS A SEPARATED
COUPLE TO LIVE TOGETHER AGAIN.
He Was Impressed with the VOLTS
Shreve Girl Given to Chill
dren's Guardians.

A number of chiIdren's guardian cases
came up in the Circuit Court yesterday.
The court decided the Wolf case, which
has been under consideration for several
weeks. The Board of Guardians brought
suit for possession of Earl st. Charles Wolf,
aged five years. Although the child's par
ents had separated. both were in court
when the case was called up. Judge Allen
was impressed with the appearance of the
parents, and said to them that he would de-
fer action in the case, and he hoped that,
while he had the petition of the board UNI
der consideration, they would adjust their
differences and conclude to live together
again for the sake of the child. The boy,
since his parents separated, has been living
with his grandmother. Yesterday Judge
Allen sent for all the parties in the case.
He found that Wolf and his wife are still
separated, and that the child is yet with
the grandmother. AS the child seems to be
well situated, the court decided it might re-
main where it is He declined to grant the
petition of the board.
Little Clara Shreve, aged nine years, who
has been living in the family of Patrolman
Butcher for three weeks, was given to the
board. The childs mother was fined in the
Police Court and sent to the workhouse.

A HACKMEN'S TEST CASE.
Bird COmpany's Men COurted Arres,
Yesterday.

Another step in the war between Frank
Bird and the hack drivers will be taken to-
morrow in Police Court, when Albert Blake
and Arthur Mcmahon, employees of Bird
will again be called to answer to a charge
of soliciting in the Union Station. judge
Cox recently ruled that these men had no
more right to solicit in the station than
other hackmen, but intimated that they
probably would not be violating the law to
remain inside the little office maintained
by the Bird Transfer Company, just inside
the large waiting room at the main en-
trance. For some days Blake and Mcmahon
kept within the Office, soliciting only as
they could from the windows and doors of
the office.
Yesterday, however. they began soliciting
in the large room, as formerly and the re-
suit was that warrants were sworn out for
their arrest. This is 10 be a test case to
bring the subject to the Circuit Court so
that the rights of the transfer company
may be established. Mr.. Bird said last
night that his men were acting under in
structions when they laid themselves liable
to arrest yesterday and the Instructions
