AFFECTING COURT SCENE
LITTLE JOE GREENFIELD PLACED
IN GRANDMOTHER.s CHARGE.
Screamed and Begged when Judge
Bradley's DecisiOn Was Being
Carried Out.

Justice Bradley today signed an order
committing Joseph A. Greenfield, the ten
year-old colored boy who has been for
years the source Of contention between
his grandmother Catherine Russell, and
his foster parents, John and Maggie Bell.
to the custody of the grandparent. The
hearing of the case proved an interesting
one in that the grandmother has been en-
deavoring for seven years to secure pos
session of the child from the Bell family.
into whose custody he was delivered at the
age of six weeks, when he was abandoned
by his mother. The case was continued
today from Saturday. when it was begun
before the court on writ Of habeas cor
pus secured by the grandmother. Several
witnesses were examined by the court to-
day, and after the arguments by the attor-
neys Judge Bradley rendered his decision.
He said that the right of the mother to
the custody Of the child could not be de-
MED, and that inasmuch as she had given
the grandmother written authority to Sc
cure the boy at the Bell household fact
brought forth in court Saturday-thcre
was no ground upon which the child could
be withheld. The court stated that not
withstanding the child's affections it's GUS
tody should be given to the grandmother
An order to that effect was then signed.
Nearly Broke JOe's Heart.
The decision was a heartbreaking blow
to the boy. For half an hour afterward he
stood about the corridors of the City Hall
weeping and moaning, clasping the hands
OF his foster parents and crying that he
didn't wish to leave them. Bell and his
wife were equally affected. When his
grandmother approached him to take him
away Joseph screamed aloud and begged
not to be led OF. He was taken to the
courthouse steps. where he shrieked and
begged to be allowed to remain with Mrs
Bell. His cries attracted crowd. and 1t
was not without some difficulty that the
boy was finally removed with his grand
mother. She will take him to Derby
Conn, where she is employed and where
she owns considerable property destined
for the lad upon her death.

Of the case last week.
After the postpOn ement, Attorney Birney

his attorneys to have this statement denied
While the attorneys stated to him that
there had been no such agreement rea ached
they declined to make public statement
to that effect.
An entirely new suit may be begun nv
Douglass & Douglass for the reason that
the charter of the hospital had exnired
just previous to the refusal of its board of
trustees to admit DR.. Stoddard's patients
and there is question as to whether they
can be held for that action. Dr. Stoddard
was requested to resign as the assist ant
resident physician of the hospital I'm June
but when he later applied to have a pa-
tient admitted to the institution he was
denied the privilege and told that the same
reason which made it expedient for his
removal as assistant resident physician in

Stoddard feels that he Is placed In a false

From the Philadelphia North American.
If the relations existing between Eng

upon a strong basis of mutual esteem 1t
will not be the fault Of Mr.. Jephson Of
vertises in London paper that he is pre-
pared to teach the English language to
travellers from this country. He offers to
cure his pupils. patients, Of the Amer-
can accent. SO abhorrent to the cultivated
ear. and to impart the good address
which democratic training denies to the
unhappy citizen of the United States. Mr.
Jephson and others have long been morti-
fed by the continual assassination of the
kings English. For instance. who that
has heard an American say that the day
Is "bally 'ot," or that 1.-The eats fit to
melt your bloomin' cad Of" has been un-
able to repress a shudder for the fate Of
the mother tongue? Small wonder that
such yillainous expressions have driven
Engiishmen to protest and Mr.. Jephson to
the market place with his offer to educate
the benighted Yankee With scholarly pre-
c1sfon he specifies the american twang,
draWl and nasal intQnation' as the de-
1ormltles OF speech which he will remove
at reasonable rates; and painlessly, no
douot. Possibly through an oversight he

countrymen hold in such deserved con-
tempt: Many influences have been foster

them all. the common language" theory
mas been the most powerful. Now that
the theory is in fair way to become a
fact. where is the Anglo-Saxon who will
refuse to look with the kindling eye of
gratitude upon the peerless Jephson of

The Pension Office Lunch TabIes

To the Editor OF The Evening Star:
The clever sketch Of the lunch depart-
ment at the pension office. in the Star of
Saturday, the 18th instant was specially
interesting to me, as l am sure 1t was to
many others. The discovery made by "a
well-known guide that strangers have
long criticised the unsightly appearance
Of the lunch tables, and the confession
that they make him feel so .'uncomfort-
able excited mingled surprise and pity.

with conditions in the beautiful court for
six years and more, 1 have explained its
historic features to many visitors, some of
them in the ranks of the finest New Eng
land culture and l have never heard a
word of adverse criticism. On the contrary
comment has run notably the other way.
Near the east entrance on the south side
are wtndrows of bicycles; on the north are
rows Of cabinets, full of records of which
silent clerks in fetching shirt waists take
note; between these lie a wide expanse of
Star-gemmed tiles, and on these the lunch
tables are spread. which seem to add to
rather than detract from the pleasing ef-
feet When the fragrant aroma from the
FURNISHED urns Of coffee. tea and cocoa,
saying nothing Of other winning temper
ance beverages, begin to escape and dtffuse
themselves through the court, it seems but
natural that the entire clerkdom should be
visibly affected.

Evidently she had been there before. as l

In answer to inquiries she said: The cap

ute tick strikes the gong, and then YOU
must see the cane-rush for those tables: il

The rules of the department have always
required employees to get their lunch in
the half hour ending at / O'Clock A re-
striction was placed upon the tables a few
weeks ago, that no one shall be served
with lunch except in that half hour.

get refreshments at the tables heretofore

pleasant things about the administration

The trouble visitors and the sorrowina
