MOTHER GAVE AN
OBJECT LESSON
IN COURT HOUSE

Judge Stearns today heard considerable
testimony on the petition OF the respond
ent I'm the divorce case OF Ellen Maloney
VS.. Joseph Il. Maloney, for the custody
OF his two children.
Mr. Maloney is conductor on the
Centredale line, and asserts that his wife
from whom he is separated. has an un-
governable temper, and beats their two
children numerically.
Mrs. Maloney's children are IS months
and Pr years old. respectively The eld-
est Is merry pushing lad with curly
halr.
In order to keep the younger one quiet
while her husband and others we're
swearing against hre.
The elder lad didn't seem to be afraid
of his mother at all; and when a by
stander asked him what made his hair
curl. Mrs. Maloney said, rather sarcastic
ally, that she guessed IL was the beat
ings she gave him"

BILE Mrs. Maloney did In the hot court
room with a child. today told about the
use of strap by the mother. as did Mr..
Maloney
Mr.. Thurber, agent OF the society
for the Prevention of Cruelty TO Child
hen, told about seeing strap at the
Maloney's residence; and DR.. Logan
testified that Mrs Maloney was the
possessor OF an ungovernable temper.
Judge Stearns was not satisfied that
the testimony justified him In taking
such young children from their mother.
He told Mrs. Maloney, though. that IL
more complaints were made, there
would be a full investigation; and Mrs.
Maloney hurried from court To get the
children their dinner.
Her husband was not Interested in
such matters. as he said he had never
been TO see the children since the
divorce was filed and would never visit
them while they were with her. He is
paying 81 week for their support
however.
Dennis H. Sheahan represented Mrs.
Maloney and Il. j. Rathbun the hus-

HOLDS PARENTS
MORE TO BLAME
THAN CHILDREN

Judge Lee of the Sixth district court.
when Juvenile appears before him
charged with committing an offence. ac-
tually seems TO shiver at the thought
that he must punish the boy or girl
against whom the charge is proved.
He Is OF the idea tnat the parents OF
the young people should instead be pun
ished, as he considers them more TO
blame than the youngsters, because they
may not have given the proper attention
TO the guidance OF their children.
This morning when Fred Kernachan,
aged 10, Charles Kernachan, aged g. and
Harry Gustafson, aged 8. were arraigned
on A charge OF walking on the tracks OF
the Consolidated railroad 1t was told to
the court that the boys had placed stones
on the tracks opposite Redwing street
and that this practice mas been frequent
TO the danger OF passengers. who might
be injured should train be deraied.
Capt. Merrill said that many COM
plants had been made to him Of the
TlacIng Of stones on the tracks by boys.
but he could not say that these boys were
guilty of all the offences
Judge Lee asked the parents who were
present, why they could not control their
children, and explained 10 them that the
more serious charge or placing stones on
the tracks could have been placed against
their sors. but that as the parents SEEM
ed be more TO blame than the children
the lesser complaint was preferred
He said II seemed to him that the
parents should be punished rather than
the boys. but fined the boys $40 each.
