Children Gone
MOTHER LOST LITTLE TOTS
WHOM SHE SAYS SHE LEFT
AT SOME ONES HOUSE

WHEELING, Sept. 49, Looking for
her children on all parts of the Island,
but looking in vain, Mrs. Birdie POlin-
ski has become nearly frantic with
grief. Mrs. Polinski is the widow Of
PolInsii, the miner who was killed in
a mine disaster in Bellatre several
months ago. Mrs. Polinski was for
merly a resident of Thirty-seyenth
street.
She is a German woman and talks
a very bad English. She claims that
she left her children at a founding
home on South Front street some time
ago. She states that it was after dark
when she left them and as conse-
quence cannot locate the home. She
was to pay the sum of 81 per week for
the keeping OF both children. It is re-
ported that some person said to her
that her children were gone or some,
thing to that effect and anxious to
see them she boarded a Fair ground
car and went to the Island. She first
visited the home established by the
Volunteers of America, but to her dis.
appointment her children were not at
that institution. Then began a weary
search for the tots, but Mrs. Polinski
had not found the children at late
hour last night.
