separated from her two children. one
a babe OF 10 months, by Judge Dono-
van, last week. The separation was
made by the Judge, who adJudged her
mentally incompetent" 10 care for
her children, In addition 10 giving her
husband a divorce, because he said
she nagged him. However, the &C
tion OF the court is not going TO pass
without a strong protest from ana
Investigation by some OF the leading
club and church women OF the city,
Mrs. George G.. Caron, president OF
the Detroit Federation OF Women
clubs, has made partial inquiry into
the case already, and she entertalns
some hope OF reuniting Mrs. Splitter
and her children.
II had a talk with Mrs. Splitter In
the rescue home, Sunday" said Mrs.
Caron 10 The Times, Monday, and
from the conversation and my obser-
vations | am convinced that she Is
not mentally incompetent. Two doc
tors have examined her since she mas
been In the home and they, too, have
pronounced her all right mentally.
The woman talked nationally 10 me
and gave no indication OF lacking In
telligence She is just like hundreds
OF other women who have had to
work hard for a living-a little run
down and In need OF care and treat
ment
The poor woman wants her chill
dren, and wants them badly. She also
wants her husband. She thinks kind
" OF him, in spite OF what has hap
pened AS a matter OF fact, she
doesn't realize that he has been grant
ed a divorce; she simply believes
that the court took the children from
her because OF her condition. She
blames relatives OF her husband for
all her domestic trouble. II her hus-
band were separated from them, sne
thinks he would be good and KIND
10 her.
"A neighbor OF mine jokingly sug-
gested that Mrs. Spitler's attitude 10.
ward her husband was evidence OF
mental incompetency' on her part.
But Mrs. Splitter is not unlike most
women: she is acting just as nine
tenths Of the women would do under
similar circumstances.
Il had a talk with a number OF the
women members OF our church, the
Cass-ave. Methodist. Sunday, and
they showed keen interest In the
case OF Mrs Splitter They suggested
that We provide a small. comfortable
home for her when she is able to
leave the rescue home. 1t will also
be our aim TO get the children back
for her. Mrs. Splitter will soon be
strong enough 10 do some work, and
there is no reason why she can't care
for her children"
Mrs. Splitter has received letter
from her brother. who lives In Ohio,
requesting her TO come TO him after
she is able 10 leave the rescue home.
and explaining that he will try TO re-
cover the children himself
