Raymond Broadly, Aged Is, Goes
With His Mother.
Has Lived for Eight Years With
Topeka Family.
TREATED AS A SON.
Wept When He Was Turned Over
to Parent.
Order of Court Was Obtained to
Make Action Legal.

Raymond Broadly has gone to live
with his mamma, whom he had not
seen in eight years. The boy is Is
years old and when the mother came 10
Topeka to take him to her home, Ray
mond did not recognize her.
Tor six years Raymond's home has
been with Mr.. and Mrs. Andrew Hart
wick in a little restaurant and roomlnS
house at 160 Kansas avenue. 1t is the
only home the boy remembers and
Hartwick and his wife have been papa
and mamma to the boy for six years.
In those six years Raymond has been
a son to the Hartwicks and they pro-
vided for him as best their means
would afford. Monday the boys moth
er, who is now Mrs Rosa Moore, came
and took Raymond to her own home in
Peru. Ind.
show, Raymonds father and mother
separated. The father came to Shaw
nee county and brought the boy with
him. The mother was living in Indiana
with a younger child. In 1904 the
father filed a petition for divorce, al
leging abandonment. Service was Sc
cured by publication and the Shawnee
county district court gave Broadly
divorce and the custody of the boy.
Broadly and the boy boarded for
few months with the Hartwick family,
who were then living on East Fourth
street. 1t was while here that Broadly
informally gave the boy to Hartwicks.
Since that time Broadly has married
twice and his first wife married again.
The father is supposed to be working
for the Santa Fe, but no one seems to
know where. After Raymond went to
the Hartwick place, he was treated
with every consideration of a son, but
was never legally adopted. The moth
er heard nothing from the boy until
few weeks ago, when she wrote a let
IT. rnTz1 alFr nTs1C
asking him to find her son.
The mother by her second marriage
is said to be quite wealthy. She is
the mother of one child by her second
husband, but she wanted Raymond,
too. Chief Jenkins Immediately locat-
ed the boy for her and she came to
Topeka to take him home. Hartwick
and his wife wept profusely when Mrs.
Moore went to the restaurant and
asked for the custody of her son.
Yes, you can take him back with
you" said Hartwick, as the tears raced
with each other down the mans face,
but he has a good home here. He's
just like our own boy and we love him.
Then Mrs. F"rtwick cried too, but the
mother was persistent.
To prevent any legal difficulty she
went before the probate court and Sc
cured an order from the court for the
custody of the child. 1t was granted
and the mother and son left on night
train for Peru. The boy listened at
tentively to the mothers story of the
new home for him. When she finished
Raymond clapped his hands and begged
to start at once.
AS the mother and son started for
the train, Raymond waved a goodby to
Hartwick and his wife. The man and
woman who had given the boy home
when there was no one else to care
for him, stood in the doorway and
waved a farewell.

HUSTON IS STILL UNCONSCIOUS.
Condition of Member of School Board
Shows Little Improvement.

Samuel Huston, member of the school
fously injured when his car collided with
a horse and buggy between Topeka and
Silver Lake is still in a seni-conscious
condition at st. Francis hospital. DR.. J.
II. Rineheart, attending physician, says
that 1t probably will not be necessary to
perform an operation.
Mr.. Huston suffered a severe conclusion
OF the brain when he collided with the
horse, but it is not believed thar his eRl.il
was fractured. d. o. Knisley. who was in
the car with Mr.. Huston, suffJ red a badly
wrenched shoulder. He has now almost
entirely recovered from mis- injury. In
telling of the accident, Mr.. IGnISIeY said
Our lamps were not working night and
we were running probably Twelve or rif-
teen miles an hour The man with the
horse and buggy turned slightly oat of
the road and Mr.. Husson directed his
car to one side. Suddenly the horse turn
ed toward me and almost instantly the
machine made a lurch toward the horse
They collided with great Iorce and Mr.
Huston bumped heads with the horse with
such force that l do cot see bow lie
escaped death.
HE was rendered unconscious almost
consciousness since that time. The ma
chine struck the horse with such force
as to turn him entirely a"0ur / ehd the
animal started up the road in the same
direction from which he originally came.
IF the man had not turned his horse
back in the road, 1 think we would have
locked wheels with him. but the serious
ness of the accident would have been pre-
vented"

ASKED TO SHOW BOOKS.
Railroads Requested to Render Ac-
count of Financial Transactions.

New York. Nov S.-Financial cir
cles are manifesting a lively interest in
a series of questions which have just
been put to all the great railway sys-
TENS of the country in a circular is
sued on account of the proposed ad-
vance in freight rates. If all the ques-
lions are answered, the public will get
an opportunity to learn about all the
commissions and profits of the security
issues which have been exacted from
the railroads by banking houses which
float these securities from time to
time.
The commission is not limiting its
inquiries regarding railroad capital is
sues to the operations of recent years,
but is making full report on all is
sues of securities made since the or
carnations of each of the railroads.
1t wants the text of all authorizations
by stockholders and boards of direc-
tors and the terms of all mortgages.
In addition, the commission requires
that the railroads report on every is
sue of stock, bonds, or other obliga-
tions except loans for one year or less,
Including a statement of all fees, COM
missions and other things of value
paid or to be paid to such agencies for
their services in such sale or distribu-
ton"
This is information which has here
tofore been guarded even from stock
holders.
The railroads are also called upon
to give a complete record of all the
interest paid by them on bond issues,
of all dividends paid since the organi-
cation of each company and the value
of all subscription and other rights
granted to security holders.

new SWITCHING RATES.
agreement Reached by Railroads and
Shippers at Chicago.

Chicago. Nov. S.-New switching rates
rule which will give Chicago shippers
benefits greater than those enjoyed in
any other city of the country will be
put in effect the Chicago switching
territory, in all probability in the near
future.
An agreement between representa-
tives of the principal railroads in the
district and associations of shippers
which provides for the absorption of
all connecting line switching charges
by the roads and for a unified charge
throughout the district for Industrial
switching is soon to be taken before
the Illinois railroad and warehouse COM
mission for adoption.
The agreement follows two years OF
negotiating between the railroads and
the shippers, and is one of the very
few instances where the two interests
have gotten together in settling a diff
ference. A bulletin to members issued
by the Illinois Manufacturers associa-
ton says:
1T is the hope and expectation that
the agreement will mark a new era of
relations between shippers and rail-
roads"
The Central idea of the agreement is
Chicago rates for Chicago" that is,
the rate includes delivery within the
Chicago switching district.
