OBJECTS TO METHODS USED.
Mrs. Goodrich Alleges That Her Peace
Is Disturbed by officials.

The board of chi.dren's guardians is max
ing every effort to locate Eleanor Tucker
one of its wards. who it claims. has
been kept secreted by Mrs. c. C. Goodrich,
In whose care the child was placed by the
mother, Mary j. Tucker. more than a year
ago. Mr.. John W. Douglas, agent of
the board, states that Mrs. Goodrich is
not the legal custodian of the child, and
his reason for wanting to locate the child
is simply to see how it Is being cared for
and in the event Of its being comfortable
and receiving every possible attention at
the hands Of Mrs. Goodrich, she will most
likely be permitted to keep it. He says the
board has no desire to prosecute her.
Through her attorney, r. P. Evans, Mrs.
Goodrich has informed the Commissioners
that the police authorities of Philadelphia.
at the instance of the police department of
this city, are making her life miserable by
their visits and threats She claimed that
that she is continually being watched; that
her mail IS intercepted, and that she is
otherwise annoyed by persons in order to
make her surrender the child mentioned.
According to Agent Douglas the Tucker
child was committed to the care of the
board of childrens guardians, November .,
1903, and the paper signed by the mother
releasing all her natural rights and
transferring the same to Mrs. Goodrich
was not legal. The board is the legal
guardian. He gave Mrs. Goodrich possess
sion of the child on probation preparatory
to her adopting it. and this action, Mr..
Douglas says, was subject to the rules of
the board as to visitation and supervision
Since that time. Mr. Douglas says. his as
sociation lost confidence in the capacity OF
Mrs. Goodrich to act as custodian of the
child, and 1t Is anxious to see to the
little ones welfare by means of regular
visits, and it is for this reason that efforts
are being made to learn where Mrs Good
rich has the child hidden. 1t has not been
seen by a member of the board for more
than year, he says, al which time Mrs.
Goodrich disappeared with it.
The laws of the board of children's guar
dams provide that all children under the
guardianship of the board shall be visited
at least once a year by an agent of the
board. In his search for the child Mr..
Douglas is being assisted by members of
the local police department.

day and had long conference with Ad-
miral BroWnson, chief of the navigation

teal and theoretical knowledge of the sig
nal codes of all modern naVieS and of
Lieut. Com. Sellers, who was in charge of

amendments from time to time. but it is felt
that there is now a necessity for complete
