CITY ATTORNEYS FORCE
OCCUPIES NEW QUARTERS
Offices in Merchants Trust Building
Secured for Leslie Hewitt and
His staff of Deputies

The city attorneys department was
yesterday moved from it's quarters on
the third floor of the city hall to a
suite OF rooms on the fifth floor of the
Merchants Trust building, across the
street from the city hall. The number
of the public reception room is 526.
Twelve rooms are in the suite and
for the first time in several years the
city attorney will be within easy touch
of his deputies. Mr. Hewitt has two
rooms of the suite devoted to his uses
and each deputy is given a room. BY
the former arrangement Mr.. Hewitt
and his assistant, j. w. Shenk, had
their offices on the fourth floor of the
CoDp building, next the city hall. and
the other deputies occupied quarters on
the third floor of the city hall.
The rooms formerly occupied by the
city attorneys department will be used
by the engineers department as soon
as some minor changes can be made.
Two of the rooms will be occupied by
the public utilities commission.
The engineering department has
grown so rapidly that with the exeep-
tion of the two rooms occupied by the
public utilities commission, it now has
the entire third floor of the city hall.
About four years ago, when Harry
Stafford was city engineer, the depart
ment occupied the rooms that are now
devoted to the building inspectors Of
fees.

Davis criminal court yesCe" lay. He
pointed a shaking finger at II. 10.
Woolner, vice president of the New
mark Grain company, who was in the

giving false testimony. Schickl was
finally forced to resume his seat by
his attorney, Dudley w. Robinson.
Schicll Is accused of embeZzling
$500 from the grain company in Au-
gust, 1909, when he was employed by
the concern as an expert accountant.
Mr.. Woolner, in response to ques-
tion, said he believed SchickP5 defal-
cations would amount to about $10,-
900. and that Schickl had sought a
dismissal of the case while in the
county jail, promising to mako a par
tial settlement of the alleged losses
Schickl arose from his chair and
pointing his finger at the witness,
cried: ut Is a lie; I did not take fhe
money, and / made no offer of ret
tlement. 1 want to make state
ment-"
He was prevented from proceeding,
Judge Davis interrupting with warn
ing, and Attorney Robinsb1 pulling
Schickl into his chair.
The testimony yesterday was de-
voted to the accounts of the grain
company with sundry banks. The trial
will be resumed Monday.

klDNAP CHILDREN
Application Made to Court by Mother
for Guardianship Papers Conn.,
piled With-Husband
Seeks Divorce

In order to prevent her two chill
dren from being kidnapped by their
father, Mrs. Josephine Hood, ITO East
ThirtysiXth street, yesterday applied
to Judge Hutton and was granted a
decree of guardianship placing the
children legally in her charge and re-
straining their removal except by a
court order.
Mrs. Hood was married to James r.
Hood in January, 1904 Three years
ago, she told the court he eloped with
another woman. going to Arizona,
where he sought to obtain a divorce.
One of the allegations contained in
the complaint served on his wife was
that there were no children the issue
of his marriage, and for this reason,
Mrs. Hood said, she notified the Ar-
zona court of the true circumstances.
Later she learned that Hood had left
Arizona and is now in El Paso. Texas.
Fearing an attempt by him to forcibly
remove the children from her home,
she filed the petition for guardianship
papers, which was granted yesterday.
In addition Judge Hutton issued an
order for Hood to give his wife an al
lowance of $50 month.

CITY FORESTER
HARPER RESIGNS
DUTIES MAY BE ASSUMED BY
PARK BOARD
Mayor Declines to Discuss Reasons
Lying Behind Action of Man
Paid $3.50 Month
by City

Rev. T.. j. Harper, city forester, re-
signed his position yesterday morning.
In the morning mail Of Mayor Alex
ander was a threo-line typewritten
letter from Mr. Harper in which he
rendered his resignation to take effect
Immediately. He added: 1T is un-
necessary for me to give my reasons
for this act"
The reason for the resignation ap-
peared well known to Mayor Alexan-
der, but he refused to tell what he
knew. He intimated that the resigna
tion had not been entirely voluntary
on the part of Mr.. Harper, and Mr..
Harpers assumption that the mayor
knew the reasons and il was therefore
unnecessary to state them bore out
this conclusion.
do not ask me the reason for this
resignation" said the mayor, for l
will not tell. 1 do not belineve I could
be induced to tell even if L were put on
the witness stand"
Mr.. Harper was the first and will be
the last city forester if Mayor Alex
ander can have his way. He viii send
a message to the council Tuesday ask
ing that body to abolish the Office and
save the city $3.50 q month, the amount
Of the foresters salary. The mayor
believes the duties of the forester can
be performed by the park department
without additional expense.
The office of city forester was cre-
ated by the council when A. C. Harper
was mayor, and as the appointment
was left to the mayor he selected e.
j. Harper, his brother, for the position.
After creating the office one or two
members Of the former council, no
tably w. j. Wren, came to the con-
clusion that 1t was unnecessary and
tried to have it abolished, but without
success. The present park commits
sion has also concluded that the posi-
ton IS unnecessary, and Judge Charles
Silent gave notice several weeks ago
that he expected to introduce a resolu-
tion to the commission asking the
council to abolish the office and put
the duties under the park department.
