same time the duty of personally directing
and supervising the education of their own
offspring is set aside. There are numbers
of mothers ever ready for work of charity
at large; but at the same time the care for
their own little ones is intrusted to un-
scrupulous servants. There are many
parents well informed as to the demands
and needs Of society abroad; but they are
well-nigh strangers within their own family
circles; the environments of their children,
their developments, their thoughts, thei1

Great Britain 1915. and France II.22. Such
figures reveal most alarming fact before
our sight. And it is only fair on the ground
of common experience to trace great part
of this deplorable state of affairs back to
the lack of true and pure home life in our
great nation. We can hardly evade this
conclusion. Our people as whole are well

one desirable thing is mentioned. only that

phreys appeared for plaintiff, and A.
G.. NJ. Robertson for defendants. The
contest was over property in Bereta-
MIA street, the lot having an area of
6S4S square feet. Possession had been
taken of it by the H. w. Trust Co.,
trustee of the estate of the late w. H.
c. Walker, VIM. H. Cornwell and
Josephine L. Cornwell, children of the
decedent, claimed an estate and inter-
est in the property and denied that
the plaintiff had any other than an
undivided one-fourth interest therein.
Jury was waived and at the hearing
the plaintiff exhibited a warranty deed
to the property, from her father to
herself for the consideration of one
dollar and love and affection, the in
strument having been executed on
December Is, 1902. Judge De Bolt

ANOTHER
COMMIT
Mrs. Bolton Bound Over
to Appear Before
Grand Jury.

Z. S. Commissioner W. B. Mailing
yesterday committed Mrs. Bolton on
the charge of being in possession Of
counterfeit money with intent to de-
fraud the people. c. W. Ashford made
a strong fight for her discharge, by
leave of the court arguing a second
time after District Attorney Breckons
had replied to his first speech.
Mr.. Ashford said on the second oc-
casion that it was obvious the prosecu-
ton was being used as a sweatbox to
get evidence against defendants hus-
band" Private Bolton of the Cooper
gang.
This innuendo was evidently a reply
to the closing remark OF Mr.. Breckons,
which was in effect that if the defend
had been scared and hid the counter
felt money so that it would not get
her husband into trouble the case
against her would drop right there.
He had contended that her denial.
when questioned at arrest, that she
knew anything whatever about coun-
terfeit money was evidence of guilty
intent
Commissioner Mailing took the view
just given, commenting besides on the
absence of any evidence for the de-
tense, when he decided that there was
probable cause" and bound Mrs. Boil
ton over to the grand jury.
District Attorney Breckons, in con-
sideration of the sex Of the defendant,
CONSIDERABLY proposed to cut a thou
sand dollars off the bail, as fixed for
Cooper and his male codefendants
making it $500. A bond was furnish
ed in that amount within an hour, I'M
der which the defendant was released.
