to Obtain Children.

petition Of his daughter-in-law, Mrs. B. r.
Tillman, jr-. asking for the custody of
her two infant children. Senator B. p

sisting the appeal.
No decision was given. but 1t is prob

of the court room, On the other were
Senator Tillman. his wife and son, 3. r.
TiIlman, jr., the father of the children in

TilIman didn't Ike the Tillman family
and had taught her children TO dislike

not attack the good name Of his sons
wife; he did dlsparage her ability TO bring

Of course.
The itinerary OF the traffic lines in the

it is doubtful if the station in the Place

tainly will be months before perfect order
is restored to the city's transportation
lines.
Eight Caught PIundering.
Eight men and women were caught
plundering to-day at Ivry. The police
had the greatest difficulty in saving them
from the vengeance Of an infuriated mob

mayor was on board a military barge
when a plundering Apache was discov-
cred IN a small boat A real boat race
ensued. After a race Of two hours the

marks

aid, who used to be a newspaper man
himself After leaving the club they
walked about the city for half an hour

Milan, Jan 2l--AfiIan's jealousy over
the much discussed statue of Niobe is
