MOTHER LOSES
FIGHT TO REGAIN
HER LITTLE GIRL
Four-year-old Returned to He
brew Orphan Asylum by
Courts Order.

vice-chancellor stevens and lawyers
in the Chancery chambers today found
it hard to separate Mrs. Ida Welnstein,
of 113 Broome street, from her 4-year-
old child Martha The mother wept
and embraced the child and couldn't
seem TO be brought to a realization
that the decision of the court was
against her in her effort to prevent her
daughter from being sent back to the
Hebrew Orphan Asylum.
The child, bright-eyed and black
haired. was born in the City Hospital
in 1906 and placed in the institution
when about or months old, accord
ing to the mother, who was called to
the witness stand. The mother wants
to place the child to board with Mrs.
Henry Tower, of 1861 Avon avenue, at
a rate Of $40 month, and it Is the
claim of the institution that the mother
is too poor to look after Martha prop
erly and should be kept in the asylum
few years longer.
The mother insisted that she made
several demands for the return Of the
child but was refused and decided 70
go to court.
Mrs. Weinstein said in her testimony
that she worked in a factory, got 81
week when she did work, and at other
times went out to service. At present
she is not employed, although she swore
that she was fully capable of caring
for herself and child.
Have you any money at PRESENT."
asked Mr.. Leber
"A few hundred dollars" was the re-
luctant answer
Asked whether she could show it to
the court today she hesitated again,
and explained that she could do so next
Monday.
Mr. Leber asked the woman in what
way the child was not well taken care
of. and she said she once found 1t
chafed. because 1t was accustomed to
a daily bath and received one only once
a week now. She admitted that she
was permitted to see the child at reg
ular intervals.
"Don't YOU think" asked Mr.. Leber,
that 1t would be better, II she was
kept there"
mo. sir" answered the mother with
pride. II am willing to work hard and
care for her
After superintendent Henry Wyle
had testified that the child was we'll
taken care of the court gave its de-
cision. saying that II the mother could
show by May 81 that she had good
position or show the money she claimed
10 have hx, that time she could have
the little one.
The chancellor IN disposing OF
the case remarked that the institution
appeared to be well managed and tnat
Martin was not neglected IN any way.

PRESIDENT SORRY
SENATE GUT OUT
POOLING CLAUSE
Taft Fears Radical Members
Will Insert Undesirable
Clauses in Bill.

WASHINGTON, May 6.-The status
the House and Senate is understood to
have been the chief topic of discussion
at today's meeting of the Cabinet,
which was called after the President
reached the White House from his
Western trip. Attorney General Wick
ersham, who drew up the measure in
its original form. was first of the cabs
net officers to reach the White House
and the last to leave. He explained In
detail to President Taft just what had
been done during the chief executives
absence.
President Taft today declared to call
ers that while he was sorry the so-
called pooling and merger clauses of
the bill had been omitted in the Senate.
he did not consider that the loss OF
these two provisions vitally affected the
bill. The pooling clause was put in to
make legal the traffic agreements that
are entered into every day by the in
terstate railroads and to bring these
agreements under the direct supervision
of the interstate commerce commission.
As to the merger clause the President
always has contended that this pro
vision was written into the bill solely
for the benefit of minority stoekhold-
ers and not in the interest of or at
the solicitation of the railroads.
The President however Is far more
concerned ocer what Congress may att
tempt to put into the bill rather than
the provisions that have been stricken
out. AS he has already intimated, 1t
is regarded as certain that II amend
ments suggested in the House by some
of the more radical members are in
cluded in the bill, an dthe conferees
are not able to eliminate them, he VII
veto the bill on the ground that it
would unduly hamper railroads in car
rying on their legitimate business.

BIG SW|NOLE,' IS
LAWYERS CHARGE
IN BREWERY SUIT
chancellor Stevens Refuses
to Make Fergg Order on
Verbal Agreement.

After nearly dozen lawyers had
been heard in the matter. of the dismiss
sal OF the receivership of the John
Fergg Brewery, which recently went to
the wall Vice Chancellor Stevens today
allowed it to stand over until next
ten agreement from the mortgage cred
tors and other creditors before making
an order. as he did not desire to decide
in case where there was verbal ar
rangement only with so many interests
involved.
The proceedings were somewhat en-
livencd by Henry Pomerehne. who rep
resents Charles and Emil Schumacher,
stockholders to the extent of $685.. They
were admitted as creditors today. a{
These clients of mine exclaimed
Mr.. Pomero hne with warmth, have re-
ceiyed no dividends, and for fourteen
years they have received no notice OF a
meeting of stockholders. This is an at
tempt to steal. 1t is gigantic attempt
to steal, because there has been a Jug
Cling OF notes, an attempt 10 put people
out of business and to place the control
of the business in one hand. 1t Is an
attempt to wipe out the stockholders
entirely"
The lawyer added that the attempt
was now made to dislodge the receiver,
j Randolph Woodruff, not In the inter-
est of the stockholders. but other par
ties, and if the receiver is now dis
missed the action would have to be be-
gun all over.
ut is one of the biggest swindfes !
ever came across If these people are to
be believed under oath, he concluded.
Former Judge George II. Lambert
renewed his plea for the discharge OF
the receiver, saying that he represent
ed William Hill, who had indorsed the
brewers notes and that Mr.. Hill had
taken assignment Of nearly all the
claims, amounting to Sl2,665.24. He
pointed out that the discharge would
be to the best interest of all concerned,
but when the Vice-chancellor' asked
whether the brewery business would go
on, said he did not know.
Spaulding Frazer, one of the many
counsel for creditors enlightened the
court by saying that under the pres
ent receivership the business had
dwindled very much. II was the in
tent to resume the saloon business he
said, and, If circumstances warrant. to
go ahead with the brewery business.
Mr.. Lambert complained of, the OBJ
structions put in the way of the dis
charge of the receiver and George n.
Peirce, of the Brewers Exchange and
Supply Company. of New, York. said
that no stockholders could object be-
cause it was to their benefit that a
settlement be effected.
The court was further enlightened in
the matter by Mr.. Lambert, who said
that 420 out of 4S0 stockholders wanted
the receiyership discharged.
"There's another matter of misrepre-
sentation-" began Mr.. Woodruff after
the vice chancellor had disposed of the
case for the day
IT don't care to hear that came
from the bench sharply and Mr.. Wood
ruff subsided.

EIGHT BODIES
ARE TAKEN FROM
DEPTHS OF Mine
Scores of Workers Are Believed
Dead in Alabama Coal
Shaft.

PALOS. Ala, May 6.-Eight bodies
were removed shortly after daylight to-
day from mine No. of the Palos Coal
al Coke Company, where between lou
and 150 miners were entrapped by an
explosion yesterday afternoon. The
condition of the bodies indicated that
death was instantaneous. Among the
identified dead is c. H. Stansberry, as
sistant mine foreman. AZ the dead
in the mine is said to be II. A. McArdle,
whose brother is president of the Anal
gamated Association of Tin and Steel
Workers in Pennsylvania. President
McArdle is en- route for this place.
James Liddell, one of the best-known
miners in the Birmingham district, and
q, former legislator was overcome by
After damp while aiding in the work Of
rescue. His condition was serious for
q time, but when he recovered he again
took charge of one Of the rescue crews
Greater excitment prevailed at Palos
and in the surrounding country today
than on yesterday, and every incoming
train brought hundreds of relatives and
friends Of the miners, and curiosity
seekers.
After the removal of the eight bodies
1T was found necessary to send a force
of miners into the workings to
straighten the brattices and to prevent
cave-ins which were frequent during
the night. This and the presence of
after-damp delayed the work of rescue
for several hours.
Coming so soon after the disaster in
the Mulga mine of the Birmingham
Coal and Coke Company at Mulga.
Ala. where forty-one men lost their
lives last month, the disaster has
spread CONSERVATION in the mining viii
lagos in this section. Many miners who
escaped the first disaster had come
here to work, and several of them lost
their lives yesterday. The lack-damp,
which filled the mine soon after The ex-
plosion and from which it is thought
that those who escaped death by ex-
ploson died, IS being rapidly dispelled,
and as the rescue parties are equipped
with oxygen helmets and other para
nhernalia necessary for entering a
gaseous mine. it is hoped that all of
the bodies will be brought to the sur
face today.
Numerous cave-ins in the mine were
caused by the explosion, and the fami-
lies of the entombed men are hoping
that some may have found refuge from
tbe deadly after-damp behind these.
Mine experts here hold out no such
hope. They say 1t is impossible that
there are any alive.
The cause of the explosion has not
been definitely determined, but 1t is
supposed to have been due to miner
entering gas pocket with a lighted
lamp.
