FROST WANTS HIS GOLDIE
Begins Another Contest for the
Possession of His Daughter.
Child to Be Brought Into Court.
District Judge But One.

The well known Frost controversy, in
volving tile custody OF little Goldie Marie
Frost, is again before the courts.
The child S mother is dead, and this morn
ing Robert NJ. Frost, tile father, by his
counsel, Mr.. Herbert N. Locke. filed peti-
ton for writ of babeas corpus calling for
the appearance in court OF the little girl.
Tie petition is directed to Elizabeth Fleck
and William l.. Bruen, the latter being the
president of the Bruen Home.
The petition recites that Mr.. Frost was
married to cne Margaret A. Collins, OF
McKanna, on or about August 3, 1892.
Several years afterward Frost filed suit
for divorce, and, among other allegations,
the assertion was made that his wife was
bigamist. Last March divorce was grant
ed to Frost, but in a trial in the criminal
court the woman was acquitted of charge
of bigamy.
Little Goldie was born April 2S, 1891,
and the petitioner claims to be its father
He endeavored several times to get custody
of the baby, but the courts allowed the
mother to retain her control.
Last month Mrs. Frost, otherwise kno wn
as Mrs. Collins or McKanna, was taken i'll
cember To the end she opposed Frost's
getting GOldiP, and on her deathbed con-
fided her care TO Mr.. Bruen.
1t was subsequently learned that Eliza
beth Fleck had the custody of the disputed
girl, and the father endeavored To see it,
but without Success. He is now determined
to get posse ssion of Goliie, and accordingly
filed the petition for a writ of habeas cor
pUs.
Judge Cole issued the writ, which is
made returnable next Tuesday at o'clock
One feature of the dispute is that while
the mother lived, several suits were insti-
tuted, looking to deprive her of the child
and every judge of the District supreme
court has at some time had the case before
him. Judge Cole is the only exception TO
this rule. and he will next week, for the
first time, listen to the evidence as to the
trouble which existed over the birth Of
little Goldie

LEXINGTON AIR MOTORS,
Letter of Protest From the Motor
Company's Chief Engineer.

The lexington Railroad fight will prob
ably be takenup soon after the reopening of
Congress.
Senator Frye turned over to the District
Commissioners today a letter from Her
man Haupt, consulting engineer of the
American Air Motor Company OF New
York. MI. Haupt protests against the House
bill, which, he says, takes from the Com
miSSiOners the power to choose the best
motor.
He says the motor recommended by Re-
ceiver Schoepf, which will probably be
used if the bill is passed by the Senate as it
passed the House, has proved a failure in
New York. 1t requires too large a con-
sumption of air, and the length of its run is
limited. He urges Senator Frye either to
amend the bill so as to give the Commits
sioners a choice of motors, or defeat it.
Mr.. Nathaniel Wilson, on behalf of the
lexington bondholders, called at the SEN
ate District Committees room today.
