RELIEF FOR WIDOWED MOTHERS
The Report Of Failure in Illinois Is De.
clarcd To Be Unfounded.

TO the Editor of The Tribune
Sir: You published in your issue OF the
26th a report purporting TO come from the
United Charities Of Chicago. 10 the effect
that the mothers pension law OF Illinois
had wrought great hardship to the COM
munity and resulted dlsastrously 10 the
dependents whom ii aimed TO help. This
news was printed broadcast throughout
the country by The Associated Press. |
at once wrote to the United Charities and
received an answer from Mrs. Briggs. the
acting superintendent. from which quote
as follows:
In reference 10 your letter OF January
% wish TO say that this society has not
issued any report on the law giving aid
to mothers. This week there has been IN
circulation in numerous papers through
out the country a distorted version Of
statement given out by our board of di-
rectors to this effect, that. instead OF
relieving this society OF burden. as
might naturally be expected. there has
not been any such lessening OF our work,
because many people arc induced 10 apply
for the aid who are not eligible and who
are turned over TO US. \ large number OF
these people would not have applied IL II
had not been for the publicity OF the
funds TO parents. At the same time we
wish always TO say that nearly all OF
these cases should have aid and We should
have support enough 10 carry the burden.
This statement was made In explanation
OF the needs OF increased support We
have given our loyal support 10 Judge
Pinckney in his effort TO make the law
effective. and we believe that he has es-
tablshed as good a plan for adrninistra-
tion as can Re worked out through the jul
venile court. Adequate relief is given and
supervision has been reduced TO maxi
mum of thirty families to a probation
officer This, OF course gives excellent
supervision. They have also had a visit
ing housekeeper who is an expert dieti-
tlan. 10 plan the budgets and give instruc-
ton in home making. Instead OF critics.
ing Judge Pinckney's work we are giving
It hearty communication as at present
conducted"
This commission has been endeavoring
TO make an exhaustive inquiry OF the sit
uation in New York. and 10 study the
question here with an open mind and with
a sincere desire 10 do constructive work
Seven other states in this country have
had bills introduced which are now being
carefully considered by the legislatures.
This subject OF governmental aid TO the
dependent families OF widowed mothers is
too real problem and too grave matter

half truths.

NEW YORK. Dec. 1S.-Six trained
lions escaped from their cage on the

tally wounded a companion, Sergeant
Daniel Glenn. Two or three officers
were slightly wounded by the claws
Of the beast in a battle at close range.
Hundreds Flee from Theater.
At sight OF the lions hundreds OF
persons in the theater fled screaming
to the exits. Mothers delayed by
gathering up their children crowded
into corners and places OF supposed
safety. Scores tainted and many,
numbed by the sight OF the animals
among them, sat transfixed in their
seats
With the exception OF Alice none
OF the beasts displayed great ferocity.
a few persons who got in their paths
were scratched but none of them was
seriously hurt.
Five Of the animals still were roam
ing about the theater when the last
OF the audience escaped. In their
rush to safety, spectators left behind
all kinds of wearing apparel and per-
sonal belongings.
Beasts Roam Through House.
Meantime the beasts roamed over
the house from gallery to basement.
Within an hour after the last specta- !
tor left they were rounded up in the
obby and driven into their shipping 1
BOX. none Of them being injured.
Three arrests were made on charges
II manslaughter in the second degree
pending the outcome of the wounded
persons. Those in custody are La
3allee Andree, the lions trainer; c.
\. Turqulst. their keeper, and George
I. Hamilton, manager OF the attrac-
ion. The lions were owned by Fran
