VALENTINES FINED
IN ABDUCTION CASE
Court Says 1t Would Have
Imposed Jail Term But
for Confession.

Before Charles NJ. Valentine and his
brother r. Frank Valentine may be
purged Of the contempt which they
admittedly committed in forcibly tax
ing the Valentine baby from the Gus
tody OF its maternal grandmother, Mrs
Sarah Goldsmith, on May y last, each
will be required to pay a fine Of 500.
Such is the decision Of the District
Court Of Appeals. rendered by Chief
Justice Shepard this morning.
The fine imposed on the Valentine
brothers is the most recent develop
rnent in the war which is being wa6ed
by Charles NJ Valentine, the baby S
father, who seeks 10 gain the custody
of the child for his mother. and Mrs.
Goldsmith, who wishes TO rear the child
herself. The conflict has been waged in
the courts Of Baltimore. New York. and
Washington.
Following a decision Of Chief Justice
CIabaugh, which gave the custody OF
the child 10 its paternal grandmother,
the Court of Appeals required a super
sedeas bond by the father and uncle,
the child 70 remain in the custody of its
maternal grandmater until the case was
settled.
on May 18th the father called at Mrs.
GoldSmith'S S residence on IWentS-illSl 81
street, and took the child. He and his
brother were arrested on the charge OF
kidnapping and the case Is now pend
ing in the District Police Court. The
brothers were proceeded against on
charges Of having disregarded the ruling
Of the court Of appeals
In imposing the fine this morning, the
chief justice said that but for the fact
the brothers have confessed and have
offered some extenUating circumstances,
the court would infict jail sentence.
Attorney William +. Ambrose, who
represents the Valentine brothers, told
the court that the brothers deny any
precOnceived plan to abduct the baby,
but called at Mrs. Goldsmith's to see
If some arrangement could not be made
whereby the father could see the child
pending the settlement of the litigation.
Charles Valentine. the child's father,
eXonerates his brother Of any compile
ity, and explains his action By saying
that when he called at Mrs Goldsmith s
residence, and the baby ran out into the
hall, he was seized with an impulse 70
have the child with him. at least for a
while and that he intended conveying
il to his attorneys office. where he
would have endeavOred to arrange mat
ters TO that he might see the child al
times pending the settlement of the
matter by the court.

TAWNEY ASSERTS
HIS HOUSE REMARKS
WERE DISTORTED

Chairman Tawney today issued
statement declaring that his remarks in
the House yesterday had been misinter-
preted and that because of this misin-
depreciation they had been given more
weight than they deserved. Mr.. Tawn-
ey said.
1T is ridiculous 20 suppose that I
would reflect privately, much less pub
licly, upon the floor OF the House Of
representatives, upon Southern hOspi-
tality, which is proverblal and than
which-as I can say from experience
there is nothing more cordial or more
generous TO be imagined.
That I agree with the statement Of
President Taft in his letter to me to-
day, that ii is legitimate argument
nin favor OF such an appropriation that
Congressman and many others press the
acceptance Of invitations TO visit their
sections and districts. because the ur-
gency OF such requests indicates the
opinion on the part of the people that
