NEPT IN ARMS OF MOTHER,
WHOM SHE RECOGNIZED.

At the time The Evening World pub
lished the story in detail. and the next
day Itka Greenberg. the child's mother,
went to the District-Attorney's once
and was directed to the Children's So
Ciety. She asked to see Ida. The
little girl was brought In. and although
she had not seen her mother in three
years she recognized her. The child
threw herself into her mothers arms.
and the way they both talked and
cried made the stan blink.
Then the mother told this story:
She and Jacob were married In the
town of Pilsk. Grodno Province, Russia,
nine years ago. Jacob came on to
America a month later. and in six
months sent for his wife. They went to
live in Moore street, Brooklyn. Three
children were born to them. Philip.
eight; Ida and Samuel. aged four.
Three years z Jacob suggested to
her that as the tailoring trade was
very dull n offered no prospects Of
advancement II would be best for her
to 80 back to Russia. Meanwhile. he
would be working his fingers of here
and aiming at an establishment OF his

they would live in prosperity and hap
piness over after.
Itka returned TO Russia with the
two little boys. leaving Ida with her
father, so that he might not be lone
some. From the day she set sail she
never heard from her husband. She
endured her abandonment until two
years * when. leaving the children
with a sister. she came back here to
find her husband and her child. All
her efforts failed, her money ran out
ana she was compelled 20 go into do
mestic service at Camden. n. J. There,
one day last week. she heard her mis-
tress reading aloud the story of ia
cob's brutality. n realized that q
was her husband and her child.
Agent Hyland began a new lnvest!-
cation. Jacob stuck to his assertion
that the woman who had appeared In
court In his defense was his wife, He
had married her in Canada after send
ing his wife the rabbinlcal divorce. The
woman to save him, denied that she
was married 10 him. She said that she
had gone to live with him and had
borne him two children.
In about a months time Ida will have
her two little brothers for playmates.
Just about a week ago Mrs. Greenberg
sent to her sister 800 which she had
saved since she went into domestic SER
vice with Instructions to start for Amer

morals and institutions. And quite
generally the American woman Is the
especial target OF his criticism.
More times than we can possibly call
70 mind. we have read that women In
America are unwilling and irresponsible
mothers. selfish. dlctatorial and un-
sympathetic wives.
Perhaps In America We still take ne
child-like pleasure Of a very young race
In hearing ourselves talked about, and
Il Is likely that we would rather hear
ourselves abused than not TO be dis
cussed at all. Knowing Of the hundreds
Of thousands Of tender and efficient
mothers. Of capable and devoted wives
in America, we have not taken the
critics Of American women very seri-
ously. But suppose for once we do?
Let us ask our European critics to
consider two women. n an American
mother, the other an American wife.
Mrs. william Thaw, who still keeps up
the fight for the release of her son
Harry from the Matteawan Asylum.
and Mrs. Charles ". Morse. who mas
conducted a national campaign for the
liberation of her husband from the
Federal prison at Atlanta.
TYPICAL MOTHER IS MRS. THAW,
FIGHTING FOR HER SON.
Mrs. William Thaw. a typical Amer:-
can mother. has devoted every mo-
ment of her life since her sons incsr-
cerat.on. and a very large portion Of
tho Thaw fortune. to obtaining the
freedom OF the man who killed Stan
ford White. At one time Mrs. Thaw
Is said to have placed a mortgage On
her beautiful home outside OF Pittsburg
to raise funds to carry on the legal
battle which she has taken through
every court. She gave up her home,
her friends. her absolute position in
Pittsburg society. the coWpanionship Of
her other more fortunate children. and
took a cottage e. the Matteawan Asy-
lum where she could be near Harry
Thaw. She wrote and issued a pamph-
let in her sons defense.
Ever since Justice Bowling committed
Thaw to Matteawan Asylum, following
his acqulttal OF murder on the ground
of insanity, Mrs. Thaw's life has been
a long. desperate battle for her sons
freedom. II IS a battle which she has
lost very often-a battle which some
persons look upon as without hope.
But, abandoning everything which life
held for the narrow. proud, elderly
society leader she was. she lives outside
the gates of Matteawan and still keeps
up the fight.

RILEY's LAST POEM.

James Whitcomb Riley, "the Hoos-
Ter poet" has laid down the pen. He
has just made announcement that his
work is ended. Impaired health has
caused the creator Of homely types Of
Indiana to cease his labors.
Riley, distinctly Indianan, has given
to the world a series Of home tales in
poetry which are now regarded as
classic in American literature. These
efforts are SO human, so touchingly
realistic, so tender and true, that they
have won for the author a lasting
place in the hearts Of MS countrymen.
AS conditions in America change,
as they must change, and another type
his supplanted the old "Hoosier' type
in Indiana, the poems Of Riley may be-
come less appealing, but Rileys poems
it would seem, should live for years to
come, despite the dialect in which
they are written, because Of the ele-
ment of human interest so pronounced
in his work.
Fifty years from now the merican
school boy may appear in terror on the
rostrum Of the district school house
to recite "The Frost is on the Pump
kim" on exhibition day, and the little
ones in fear and trem bling, will creep
under the covers at night after mother
has repeated the wierd tale of the COB
| Inns.
The tomorr of poetry is an un-
solvable problem and prediction as to
Riley's place in literature in future
! years can not be now determined To-
day, however, there is tendency to
give less thought to the homely poetic
tales of Riley and his kind, and more
attention to the unreal art Of Kipline
and his type, with their uncanny ramb-
Iings OF the female Of the SPECIE
and the hank of hair"
1t is to be regretted that Riley mus,
halt his work while in the prime OF
;ife-he is but SO years old. an age
when poets are usually at the com
mencement of their greatest labors-
but he has declared that his last poem
is written and the book closed. But HI
has made the world smile and forge
it's sorrows and he who can do tina
may close his life's book without

JUDICIAL MONKEY WORK.

An attorney for the defense in the
trial of DR.. Kelly at Des Moines pro-
pounded a Hypothetical question, "
which required two hours to read. The
question was directed at an "alienist''
and bears upon the sanity Of the de-
PENDANT.
Now if this were not so entirely SER
ious it would be comic Imagine a
question two hours long propounded to
a witness, requiring definite answer
and to be passed upon by jury gath
cred from common citizenship! The
question no doubt calls for direct af-
firmative or negative answer. Such
a question is much less joke than out
rage Of privilege
Kelly drunken drug -besotted type
of degeneracy, shot and killed two men.
For this crime he is on trial. The duty
sumed to uncover the facts and the
truth that verdict in accordance with
the law and the facts may be rendered.
The efforts of the defense under the
habitual processes Of so-called Grim
inal lawyers is to befog. embarrass
and confuse the jury, trap the court by
demands that the jury shall be in
struted one way or another and gen.
orally weave a barrier Of technicalities
and confusion between their client and
the violated laws. What other purpose
could a Hypothetical question" Of
5000 words and two hours duration be
calculated?
Perhaps the judicial monkeywork ap-
peals to some as safeguarding of in
dividual rights but in the minds Of
most men it breeds that uneasiness and
contempt Of courts which has become
general. Why should it be permitted?
Does anyone believe or imagine that
Kelly's just rights before court and
jury include such a travesty upon ju-
dicial investigation of his crime and
his condition as question which re-
quires two hours for utterance? 1t is
monkey work, legal monkey work, as
Harry Lehr's famous dinner was social
monkey work.

ESCAPING THE PENALTY.

Carl Snyder, in an article in a recent
issu. Of Golfers Weekly, declares
that 1.-The murderous proclivities of the
United States are simply a horror, and
the administration of the criminal law
in this country is exactly what Presi-
dent Taft said of it: "A disgrace to our
civilization
Despite this assertion from a man
who has evidently carefully studied
the subject, and despite the fact that
every daily paper announces from one
to a half dozen or more murders, the
best statistics to be secured will show
that the number of murders during the
last three or four years, as compared
with the decade previous, show q de-
crease. However, on the other hand,
the chances for conviction Of criminals
seem to have lessened.
After stunning up the evidence Mr.
Snyder concludes that the chances Of
