Mrs. Ida Winters Threatens to
Kill Her Offspring If the Au-
thorities Attempt to Take
Him From Her Care.
PETITION FILED BY
BOARD OF GUARDIANS.
Probable That the Boy Will Be
Sent to Whites Institute
What to Do With the Wom-
an is a Serious Question.

Master Frederick Winters. the two
year-old son of Mrs. Ida Winters, an in
sane woman. who has been confined in
the women's Jail at the Home for the
Friendless for about a year, Will be
taken away from his mother immedi-
ately, Notwithstanding the facA that
she has threatened to kill the child if
the authorities make such an attempt
Prosecutor Jessup has filed in the
circuit court a petition for the board
of children's guardians of Wayne coun-
ty. for the custody of little Frederick,
and his commitment to some orphan
age He will probably be sent to
Whites institute at Wabash.
In the petition. prompt action is
asked of the authorities as it is set
forth that the child is in constant dan
ger of violent treatment at the hands
of his mother. Prosecutor Jessup
states that few days ago Mrs. Win
ters. after a long spell or good behav-
ior. suddenly became violent and as
saulted Mrs. Rebecca Haas. an aged wo-
man, who is kept at the Home. After
assaulting Mrs. Haas. the maddened
woman turned on her child and beat
little Frederick in most terrible man
ner With the cunning of an insane
person. Mrs. Winters. after assaulting
the baby. put powder on its face TO hide
the marks left by her fists on his face.
Question Is PeepIexing.
What to do with Mrs. Winters is a
question that has for some time vexed
the county authorities. Her admis-
sion to the Easthaven hospital has
been denied, the commissioners do not
care to send her to the county infirma-
ry owing to her violent actions. nor
can they order her cared for at the
home of her mother at East German
town. About two years ago Mrs
Winters was arrested for assaulting
her mother. She was placed in the
Home for the Friendless and there lit
tie Frederick was born Some time
after his birth, she took the child and
escaped from the institution, return
ing again about a year ago after a
fruitless search about the country for
her husband. On her return she was
placed in the Home again. and has
been held for several months on the
charge of assaulting her mother. Le-
gaIly the authorities have no right to
hold the woman any longer on this
charge. but there is nothing else that
can be done With her About three
months ago she suspected that Freder
ick was to be taken from her and at
that time she informed Prosecutor
Jessup that if she was present when an
attempt was made to take the boy
from her she would kill him. She stat
ed that if he was taken from her by
stealth she would escape from the
Home and follow her son to whatever
place he was taken. 1t is believed
that the woman meant what she said.

The Fourth of July Seemed to
Be Notable in This Re-
gard This Year.
ALL WERE ON THE MOVE.
THROUGHOUT THE DAY AND
THE CROWD AT THE BALL
GAME WAS LARGE.

/ Although Richmond had no formal
celebration of the Fourth of July, it
can be truly said that perhaps at no
other place did the people enjoy the
day more. 1t appears that practically
everyone made an effort to find enter
tainment and was successful. Hun
dreds left the city, either to visit or
picnic; many visitors came to the city
to spend the day with relatives and
friends.
Glen Miller park was a popular re-
sort during the entire day and at night.
There was a band concert in the after
noon and at night a second concert and
a display of fire works. which, while
not elaborate, was nevertheless pleas
ing and appreciated. owing to the fact
that such an event is an extreme novel
ty. The street car company did a big
business throughout the day. getting
liberal patronage from those who Wis
tied the Glen and patrons of the ball
park, where two games were played
with the Dayton Shilohs. The after
noon crowd was quite large.
At the Country club the day was a
most pleasant one and at night this
was especially true. Many private
displays of fire works were given in
the evening. the day being rather in
advance of previous ones in this par
ticular The large display of flags
over the city indicated that in the
search for pleasure, the significance of
the day was not forgotten.

Saturday Evening Post Takes
Slap at the MeSsrs.
Moore and Reid.
THINKS WORSE THAN C. & A.
HARTMAN, SAYS THE POST, is
STRICTLY TYPICAL OF THE
WHOLE GROUP TO WHICH HE
BELONGS.

An editorial in the Saturday Even
ing Post says:
Fortunately, the administration has
decided not to prosecute Hartmann
With the very liveliest sense of that
gentleman's abilities. we deny that he
has done anything which justly entities
him to crown of martyrdom.
For what would he be prosecuted?
Would it be for manipulating and in
flating Chicago and Alton. Then
Messrs. Moore and Reid must be prose
cuted for their manipulation and infla-
tion of Rick Island capitalization,
which was about twice as rank as the
Alton deal Would the administration
also prosecute J. j. Hill and J. p Nor
gan for converting hundred millions
of Burlington stock into two hundred
millions of bonds? The Vanderbilts did
this to Lake Shore stock.
Would Hartman be prosecuted be-
cause he crushed competition by join
ing the Southern Pacific and the Salt
Lake roads to his Union Pacific sys-
tenn Hill was not prosecuted. even
when the supreme court declared his
merger of the Great Northern and
Northern Pacific illegal. And he
should not have been-unless the Van
derbilts, Cassatt. the Moores. Spencer,
Ryan ct al. were also prosecuted. Ev-
cry railroad king has for a decade
been openly directing his energies to
doing this same thing.
Mr. Harrinian's deeds have been inju-
riously magnified at Washington of
late-as though his practice was a
thing peculiar to himself and in con-
trast with the practice Of other rail-
magnates. This is not at all true. On
the contrary. Hartman is important
just because he is strictly typical of the
whole group TO which he belongs. His
practice is precisely the typical prac-
tice. Personally he is less agreeable
than some of the others, and he has un-
doubtedly been sassy to the president;
but those are points which the inter-
state commerce acts do not cover.
To know what Hartman has done
is valuable. not in order to judge him
personally, but in order to remedy a
condition that makes his strictly typ
ical operations possible.

InCorrigibIe.

THE AUTHORITIES ATTRIBUTE
THE GIRLS DOWNFALL TO a
LACK OF ATTENTION BY HER
PARENTS.

Annie Helms, the fourteen-year-oid
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. George
Helms, who has during her short life
been responsible for one man being
sent to the state prison and for an
other man serving a long period in
the county Jail, has been found guilty

was heard in the circuit court Frank
enburg was acquitted.
The first of June this year, when
there was a carnival company showing
here, the Helms girl was found one
night in Glen Miller park in company
with a negro by the name of McRob-
ertS, who was an employe of the car
nival company. The Helms girl and
McRoberts were taken to police head
quarters. where she charged the negro
with criminally assaulting her. He
plead guilty to the charge in the cir
cult court and was sentenced to the
penitentiary.
The authorities charge the girls
downfall to the lack of attention shown
her by her parents. When Franken-
burg was arrested George Helms de-
sired the case against Frankenburg be
dismissed. He stated that if the pros
ecutor would take this action he would
punish his daughter for being impli-
Gated in it, beating her with broom

Prosecutor Jessup stated that if
Helms attempted TO do this he would
