APPEALS TO POLICE FOR LIGHT
Officers of LAW Are Denied All

TO POLICE FOR LIGHT

Mrs. Allen of Faulkner, Neb., seeks
her children, who were adopted by the
Nebraska Children's Home society, twelve
years ago, when at the death Of the father
the family was left destitute.
The anxious and yearning mothe is
pleading with the police to help her gain
Information, which, she says, is refused by
officials of the society. Rev. E. p. Quivey,
superintendent, she said, takes the position
that it is not best for the welfare of the
children and the interests of their foster
parents to divulge to the mother their
whereabouts.
The father of the children died in May
of 1897 and the children, Harry, s years
of age, and Isabelle, 6 years of age, were
taken from the mother, who was in
stI aighened circumstances and placed with
Rev. Mr.. Quivey. The mother, upon re-
gaining her health, which was broken at
the time of her husbands death, endeav-
to locate the children, and for a time
Rev. Quivey would inform her by letter
Of their welfare, but absolutely refused
any Information as to where they had
been placed.
OF late Mrs. Allen has been able to
receive no replies to her numerous letters

Emergency officer Joe He'll, who looks
after lost persons, visited Rev. Mr.. Quivey
and was met with a. refusal. The only
information obtainable was that it would
be necessary for Mrs. Arndt to communi-
cate direct with the society.
According to the ages of the children
at the time of the fathers death,
Harry would now be 20 years OF age, and
Isabelle IS years. Mrs. Arndt will be noti-
