WOMAN WHO DESERTED BABE SEEKS TO SECURE IT
 THROUGH COURT.
LEFT ON DOOR STEP
Babes Foster Mother Fights Case tO Retain Possession of the
 Little One.

Little Rock, Jan. 20.-Chancellor J. E. Martineau has under consider
 ation an interesting case What will demand the wisdom of Solomon in
 it's decision. It is the question of who is entitled to the custody of a child, the mother who deserted it as an infant, or the foster-mother who raised it and loves it as her own?
 The child was born in Little Rock sanitarium in April, 1909, and left few days later on the door, step of Mrs. Rhodes home. The
 mother was then Mrs. Wriggins. and
 says that she, as Miss. Napier, se-
 cretly married Wriggins in Missis-
 sippi. Mrs. Rhodes found the child,
 2 tiny infant, and nursed it through
 months when it's life was almost de
 spaired of, not knowing the identity
 of it's parents. Her husband died,
 but she clung to the child with an
 awakening love that she lavished
 upon the boy. Eighteen months later
 while she was living near Alexander, Mrs. Helena Waldron, of Memphis, came to Alexander, and called upon Mrs. Rhodes. She was affected by the child, and grieved because he would not make up to her. She told Mrs. Rhodes that she was the mother of the child, but did not try to get it then, or the following Mo- vember, on the occasion of her sec ond visit. She had married Ir. Waldron, after leaving Little R,ck. aEd now she comes into chaneery court seeking to secure possession of her child through habeas corpus proceedings. During the trial she and her mother sat in the court room crying constantly, while the foster-mother could scarcely restrain the tears as she pleaded for the child she said she loved better than her husband. with an affection that no money could repay. She was remarried last November to H. !. Childers, who is also very much de- voted to the child.
 The contentious of the defense are set forth in the following paragraph from the answer: "The defendant alleges that the plaintiff abandoned the child in the most cruel fashion to the mercy of the world when It ] was only two days old; that she has never since conducted herself toward it as parental affection would dic> , tate that she should; and she is in no aspect of the case entitled either in law or conscience to it's custody The defendant states that the little infant was left on her doorstep, on a dark and cold night; that it was too frail to five: that she cared for it as mother and restor- ed 1t to strength, health and vfgor. until now it is strong and healthy :. child. three years of age, that she i and it are inseparable companions, the ties of affection having grown up between them to such an extent l that to grant plaintiffs petition and [, permit the child to be taken from i the custody of the coprt would be | cruel to this defendant and contrary | to the welfare of the child.
 A decision is expected in the case today

PROPERTY OWNERS HEAR PRO. POSITION FROM OFFICIALS OF THE TRANSIT COMPANY.

Committee Will Consider the Offer At a Meeting to be Held Monday
 Afternoon.

The property owners and business : men of West Barraque street met yesterday afternoon at the office of
 F. G. Smart to listen to a proposi- ton of the Citizens Light and Tran sit Company, represented by J. II. Allen, secretary, to extend the car line from Second avenue and Main
 and appreciated the importance ol
 the extension, just a. the Graphic
 predicted in it's article of several days
 ago. There were, of course, some
 minor differences of opinion, as to the
 best means of getting the improve. best means of getting the improve
 The propos ton made by Mir. Allen, as we understand it, was that for {. bonus of $27,500 the street car com
 pany would make the extension as required.
 MT. Aliens claim that the exte T. sion would not benefit ths company remains to be proven. The Graphic cannot see how such an improvement can fail to be of future benefit to the street car company.
 The Graphic believes that it vii benefit the street car company, but a. the same time the main question 10 be considered by the property owne .s is, to what extent it will benefit a,,A some Investigations in this regard
 The amount of real property lying along tn cline of the proposed extea- sion is assessed at approximately S25O,000 and tn is about 50 psr cent If the full value of said property,
 This approximate assessed valuation does nlt include the Bank of Pine B'.af, ner the Hicks building opposite, nor any property on Second avenue, ed twill be sesn n to be benefited al. most as much as Main or Barraaud. The figures given relate to real prop *rty aloneb when per;Onally every bus ness firm and individual along the line of extension will realize pro- fit from the Improvement.
 tsMr. Aliens figures may be a little sni$h, Mnd some of the parties inter ssted, we believe, contend that they are; but even at these figures wh n all is considered, it is readily seen that the sum named would be less than 10 per cent of the assessed valL- ation of the reaa property directly atkectadt by the proposed Improvement. i The GraphIc sincerely hopes that the committee appointed Saturday af ternoon. to confer further with the street car company, will bs able to, reach an agresn ht with the company which will be agreeable to all and as sure the success of the project. We believe the asss ssed values would he the safest basis upon which to figure, together with. the consideration as 70 increased values oh personal prop erty.
 Aside from any individual consid- .era4ion, the boost this would give to- s wards . Greater Pine Bluff would. we believe, he. sur rprising. and should the extension be made, another big st,p <will be taken to boost Pine Bluff. Let < us not let the matter of thousand or so dollars. one way or the other block an undertaki g that will mean s-so much to SO many.

 The government park is a sweet and restful spot, where dense shade bright flowers and running streams make pleasant the homes of it's many visitors.
 The city beautiful has not been neg lected by our own citizens who have laid paved streets, wide sidewalks, handsome buildings. sparkling foun- tains for man and beast where flow cooling drinks to slake the thirst anG the bubbling hot water for the heal- ing of the thousands who seek re- s.cration and health in our midst.

FORMER PINE BLUFF GIRL MAKES SENSATIONAL AERO. PLANE, FLIGHTS AND GETS
 LICENSE, S.t,.a !
Going to Europe for Series of Aerial ExhibitiOns-Y0ungest Aviatrice
 in the World. f

Hot Springs, Ark, May 15.-After six months of hard study and many sensational demonstrations of her ability to handle an aeroplane, Miss Katherine Stinson, the IF years old daughter, of Mrs. E. B. Stinson, of Spring street, this city, has been granted pilots aerial license and Mills Aviation Booking agency, one of the largest companies of it's kind in the United States, has taken her in charge and will book this daring aviatrice for a series of flights in many of the cities of the country.
 Miss Stinson is we'll known in this city. She was recognized long be- fore she took up the study of avia- tion as one of the most skillful auto mobile drivers in the south, and when the conquest of the air became prominent, and the remuneration was known to be as profitable as it is, she 
 Flew Over kansas City.
 Miss Stinson first studied and eX- perimented at the aviation school in Kansas City, and when she had com pleted her tuition there she made a sensational flight on day that was considered rather stormy for such a perilous demonstration over that city. She flew over the 'sky-scrappers" of thousands of persons and the fight proved to be the most successful ever made in that state.
 After her Kansas City studies in aveiation were over she visited tho aerial training school in St. Louis, where she duplicated her success, and in the latter place took up the study of the Wright biplane. Pre- vious to this she had been handling a Curtis machine.
 Wrights Became Interested.
 The prompt manner in which she
 
 Wright invention, and her daring in flights that she made in St. Louis, at tracted the notice of the agents of the Wright brothers, who became interested in her and assisted Miss Stinson in every way possible. They advised that she go to Chicago. ap- ply for pilots license, which would qualify her to make flights under the auspices of the Aero Club of America in this country and Canada.
 This she did and last week, on the Cicero Aviation Field, Chicago, be- fore aviation officials and judges, she demonstrated her fitness in a series of severe tests and received the hear ty commendation of all who had this event in charge. iI5
