ed, charged with beating a baby left
in her care by Mrs. Matte Goldstein, of

poor circumstances, alleges that she had
left her two children, Gladys, aged 21z
years, and Edna, aged 7, in Mrs. Zitlow's
care while she went out in search of
work, and Mrs. Zitlow was to make only
a nominal charge for the children. On
several visits to them Mrs. Goldstein
noticed that Gladys was not feeling
we'll and the other little child told her
mother that Mrs. Zitlow had whipped the
baby with a leather strap from which
dangled brass buckle. On the third
visit she took the children away from
Mrs. Zitlow, and while bathing them she
discovered that the youngest child's. back

grown sons, he said ~ recently sent 800

He said that he was not crazy. and that
he worked hard most all the time "Wh6n
I'm at home. I'm abused, he said, "and

agement refuses to give him up unless
compelled to do so by an order of court.
An order was made yesterday bv Judge
Rudkin in the superior court, directing
the home to show cause why he should not
be returned to his father.
Samson states that he gave the boy to
Mrs Shone a year ago to be trained for
an acrobat, supposing that he was going
into good hands. He claims to have known
nothing about succeeding events until he
read in the daily papers of the contest
for the boy in the courts of Seattle and

EARLY CONVENTION
WILL BE OPPOSED

The Republican county committee will
meet tomorrow in this city to fix the date
OF the primaries and the county conven-
ton. The meeting has serious aspect in
the eyes of many prominent Republicans
as they look upon it as an attempt to
force an early convention. This is very
much desired by the friends Of the rail
road lobby and some politicians who are
opposed to Congressman Cushman anG
Senator Foster. If the convention is hello
in the middle of April, as proposed by
them, it will give the opposition to the
senator and congressman an undue advan.
tage, as they will not be here to protect
their interests.
