TOOK BABY AWAY.
Detectives and Humane Officers Res
cue Child From Keith Block.

An alleged case of cruelty to a child
was reported to Humane officer K. w.
King this morning, and as a result the
baby was taken away from the family
which had it in charge, and warrants
for their arrest will be asked for.
The child in the case is Marie F1etch-
err a pretty little girl not quite years
old. The child was in charge of Luther
Bennett and wife. who live in room "a
of the Keith building. For some time
past other jewellers in the building were
incensed over what they considered in
human treatment of the child One man
has been found who told Officer King
he had seen the child slapped, cuffed
and beaten on many occasions upon no
provocation whatever. 1T seemed to be
customary with these people" says this
witness. "to open the door for this baby
to enter the room, and then hurry mat
tiers by slapping it through the door"
Last night, it is alleged, Mrs. Bennett
beat the child for an hour, and the
sound of the blows and the screams of
the child were audible all over the
building Another resident of the fiat
interfered, and was invited to attend
to his own business.
This morning a complaint was made
to the police, and Detectives Hutton and
Sauls asked Humane officer King to as
sist in an investigation. AS a result
King took the baby away from the Ben
netts. and will take it to his own home
pending some arrangements by the
courts.
Mrs. Bennett says she has kept the
child about a year. and that its mother
is woman named Fletcher who is now
with Lou Arnold in Kansas City dis
orderly house. She stated further that
the mother paid for the care of the child
but didn't pay much. and she kept the
child simply because it was such a
sweet baby and she thought so much of
IL, She denies having abused the little
girl in any way.

BLuNDER IS FOUND.
Rranner Street viaduct Franchise Will
Have to Be Fixed.

A plat of ground 240 feet wide and
632 feet long must be taken into the
city before Mayor Green will sign the
franchise OF dinarce permitting the con-
struction of the Branner street viaduct.
The discovery was made today by city
officials and members of the council
that the viaduct when constructed
would have the south approach built on
land without the city's limits and that
the city would have no control over that
portion of the viaduct. Furthermore a
strip of land so feet wide and 240 feet
in length will have to be dedicated at
the foot of Lake street before the gem
eral public can have the right to get to
the viaduct and upon it.
The land in question has been largely
purchased by the street railway COM
pany though portion of it still be-
longs to the Klein estate. T. F. Doran,
attorney for the street railway COM
pany, was notified of the discovery and
he immediate assured the mayor that
the company would submit a plat to the
council which will take in the tract of
ground in question, extending from
Lake street through to Branner and 240
feet wide as well as make the neces-
sary dedication of the so foot strip at
the foot of Lake street so that there
may be no question concerning the
right of the public to gain access to the
Viaduct,

who was arrested at cabin in the
Ramapo mountains, where he was en-
gagged in counterfeiting half dollars,
admitted to the secret service officers
who captured him that he was a
counterfeiter. showed them with some
pride the dies and machinery he had
made, and gave a rather remarkable
explanation Of why he had embarked
on a counterfeiter's career.
Hence asserted that he had res orted
to counterfeiting to provide funds for
the building of an airship which he
has perfected, and which is to solve the
problem of aerial navigation. He had
turned his hand to die making, Henze
said, only after every other means OF
financing his invention had failed him,
and without any special preparation
for the work of engraving and casting.
Henze's coins, made from Mexican
silver pieces, contained the requisite
amount of the precious metal and
would never have been known for
counterfeits from the weight. This
fact, Hence asserted. relieves him OF
any moral wrong, although he admits
he may be technically guilty. His
profits on hts product were about 20
cents on each coin.
