Who would have thought that the wild
ow with dependent children could have
power to throw the leading philanthroplc
lights of New York into state OF com
plete mental uncertainty?
But she has. By the confession Of their
own printed reports she has done 1t. The
first conclusion in the report of the COM
mittee on government aid to dependent
families. submitted by Its chairman. .. +.
Lewis. at the New York City Conference
OF Charities and Correction. on May g.,
1872 Ia this: The roblem OF the widow
with dependent children Is still largely
vague In the minds of charitable organi-
cations"
And now that the problem Is brought
to the fore by the passage through the
Assembly Of the Levy bin TO amend the
greater New York charter In relation To
the relief OF dependent wild ,ws with young
children" It develops that the philan-
thropic fog Is as dense as ever. OPPOSE
ton to the bill looms through the fog.
Everybody agrees that II Is better 10
leave children at home with their moth
ers than to tear them away and put them
In institutions. but there Is a general feel
lTH tnat T1oTc - Ht'hSu w
fore anybody commits himself to any
thing. The board Of managers of the AS
ISOLATION for Improving the Condition of
the Poor passed a resolution at its Feb
ruary meeting that until further informa-
ton on the subject was secured X would
be best to defer legislation about the
needs of widows with dependent children.
Other charitable organizations take much
the same ground.
But there are few people In New
York who know their minds on this ques-
ton, and one of them Is Mrs. William
Grant Brown. former president Of the
New York City Federation OF Women's
Clubs. Mrs Brown is chairman of SUBJ
committee OF one of the various commit
tees that have been looking into the af-
fairs Of the widow and deciding or at
tempting to decide whether 1t would be
morally correct to state aid her. Mrs.
Rrown had no difficulty in deciding.

VOICE RAISED
FOR WIDOWED MOTHERS
Mrs. William Grant Brown Unable to Under
stand Why Anyone Should Doubt
the Levy Bill Is Good.

Further investigation? Nonsense. Why
is further investigation needed" she said
Yesterday. What can be accomplished
by further investigation save the accumu-
alton Of more cases similar to those that
have been investigated? The conditions
are known The need Of widowed mothers
Is known. It Is admitted the aid given
by charitable organizations Is not ade-
auate. What new facts could be estab-
lished by further investigation? None.
THE poor are being investigated to
death.
why, what does the Levy bill do but
give New York City the right to do what
every other city In the state can do
administer relief In certain cases! That
power was taken away from New YORK
when It's charter was made. We wish to
write II In again.
THE Levy bill IL cautious enough IN lts
provisions I'm all conscience. and II leaves
much I'm the hands Of the charitable or
ganizatiOns. The board of trustees OF
home assistance, by whom the relief would
be administered would practically be
named by the organizations. That is' It's
members would be appointed by the
Mayor from names submitted to him by
the organizations. So the fear that the
evils OF the old loose system OF outdoor
relief would be revived by this measure
are Groundless. The organizations can
keep their hands right on the helm
"Other states are helping widowed
mothers, and It works well. In Pennsyi-
vania the other day 10000 was appro-
priated to carry out the provisions OF
It's lately passed bill to aid widowed
mothers. Oklahoma has the law, Cali
fornia and Kansas have II In some parts.
Judge Ben Lindsey says II works we'll In
Colorado.
MY only criticism Of this Levy bill is
that II is not sweeping enough; but
more sweeping one couldn't be passed,
supnose. This will give aid only to the
mother with two or more children. l
think that the mother with but one poor
little child needs help more than any.

WINS CHILD.
First Husband of Mrs. F. A.
Heinze Gets Custody.
LEGAL FIGHT MAY FOLLOW
Mrs. Mary Golden, Girls Ma
ternal Grandmother, Says
She Was Abducted.

Charles A. Henderson. who was the
first husband Of Mrs. Bernice Golden Hen
derson HeinZe, an actress, who died on
April 2. made legal yesterday the custody
Of his eight-year-old daughter, Katherine,
whom he took away from Mrs. Mary
Golden. the child's maternal grandmother
In Toledo last Saturday, under the pretext
that he was taking her out to buy her
some candy. The step taken by Hender-
son. which may be contested by Mrs.
Golden, was to get an ex parte order
from Justice Lehman giving him the legal
custody Of the child.
Mrs Henderson obtained divorce from
Henderson In 1909. Subsequently she
married +. Augustus Heinze. the copper
man. A short time before her sudden
death she obtained an introductory decree
Of divorce from HeinZe, but there was
reconciliation on her death bed with her
second husband.
Under the decree Of divorce In her suit
against Henderson Mrs Henderson OBJ

$500 month alimony. After her mar
