separation from Albert Sydney John
son, the man whom she once divorced
and has twice married.

battle for the possession of their only
child, boy OF IA, shortly after their
first separation. Johnson Is now a
member OF the firm of VI. Heineman
& CO., cotton goods brokers in this
city
A score of years ago when Alice
Campbell was wooed by many suitors
at Galveston, she chose as her hus-
band the famous soldiers son, and
lived in seeming happiness until 1899.
During t.lat year, while they were in
San Francisco, Mrs. Johnson and her
husband separated She filed a
divorce complaint all was granted a
decree.
Fight For Child

couIle were settled by order OF the
court, johnson determined to get alb,
solute custody Of his little bay, who
was then in room with his mother
at the Occidental Hotel While Mrs.
Johnesn was out of the room tempo.
rarily Johnson entered the apartment
and removed the boy to the Palace.
A day or so later Mrs. Johnson Wis
tied her husbands apartment while
he was out and turned the trick on
him.. carrying the boy to her hotel.
She refused to let Mr.. Johnson take
their san away. He applied for writ
OF habeas corpus and finally got the
boy in his possession once more. 4
Johnson came to New York to live
soon afterward and brought his son
with him, Mrs. Johnson followed and
begged to see the boy. She was told,
she charges. that she had seen the
last of her son unless she would con-
sent to remarry her husband. This
she finally did in January, 1901.
Cruelty is Alleged.
In her separation complaint Mrs.
Johnson alleges that her husband has
treated her cruelty, His alleged act
of i'll treatment came to climax, she
says, when he threatened to end her
life with hat pin. He denies he has
been guilty of the accusations.

blind and helpless and deliberately

the reports from Washington design

are useing these effectively If any
systematic effort is to be made by
the Reclamation Service to check
