CHILDREN'S HOME
SOCIETY ATTACKED
In SEATTLE ACTION

Action has been started against
Rev. J. L. Covington and the Wash
ington Childrens Home society in
Seattle in which the question is
raised, has the charity work con-
templated in the organization OF
the Washington Children's Home
society become commercialized
charity?
This and numerous other ques-
tons rejecting upon the methods
adopted by the society's superin'
tendent, Rev. J. L. Covington, are
brought up as the result OF a
suit which will probably be filed
against either the society or Mr.
Covington by Mrs. Alice Ellis, OF
212S North Sixty-second street.
Mrs. Ellis action will be to re
cover SIG, an amount which she
claims has been withheld by Su
perintendent Covington from pay
ments made to the society for the
care of a baby named Edward
Lewis, whose mother, Mrs. Stella
Lewis, lives in Valdez, Alaska.
Mrs. Ellis received $24 from Su
perintendent Covington for board
ing and caring for this child fol
the months of June and July o
this year. She has recently beer
sent a receipt by the baby's moth
err in which Superintendent Qoving
ton acknowledges having received
$40, paid in advance, for the carr
of the baby during the two months
specified.
Mrs. Ellis wants to know wher'
the SIG has gone and whether Su
perintendent Covington, or tn
bank account of the Washington
Children's Home society, has beel
enriched to that extent. Incidental
ly she and a number of friends ar
prone to believe that SuperinteH
dent Covington's manner of COZ
Quoting the affairs of the socier
is open to harsh criticism, to sa
the least.
