Early this morning Mr.. Wendell
went to the District of Columbia Pro-

probate, and later Mrs. Wendell quail
fed as guardian of the child as d.
rected under the will. Mr.. Wendell
said he would at once consult an at

tinued. Mrs. Bradley gave up a
settlement of $4,000 in order to re-
tain the custody of the child" he
said.
"She loved the child, and her last
words spoken were to myself and my
wife, in which she said she wanted
us to keep the child. and we Will do
so as long as we can fight the Swift

hard fight"

expected among their friends that
both he and his mother contemplate
reopening the legal battle for the
child. which was awarded to the
mother by the court in the last legal
battle in lieu of the 10000 for which
Mrs. Swift sued her husband.

SEVEN CARS OF AUTO PLATES
First Consignment Of 1915 Numbers

load OF automobile plates for 1919 WIZ
arrive at the state house today. inc

owners have reregistered their cars
for 1915. The department sent OUT
letters a short time ago urging drivers
of cars TO get their applications In ear
iy SO as to avoid the delay OF getting
plates on Jan. l. The response has not
been as great as expected. Last year
more than 10000 car owners got m
early with their checks. and at that
time there were 10000 less cars IN the
state than there are at present.
Iowa now has 105.S00 AUTOMOBILES
in use. The highest number issue"
is 111,soo From this is deducted e.ooo
numbers which are reserved for motor
cycles. New cars are being registered
at the rate Of forty per day. The de-
partment yesterday sent in an order
for an additional 500 Lair OF plates 10
supply the demand for 1914 plates be-
tween now and the first Of the year.
The 1915 auto plates are heavier
than the 1914 plate. II VIII require
seven freight cars to transport the
plates from the factory at st. Paui
TO Des Mosnes. The 1915 plate is too
light to last more than one year. II
the legislature decides to make one
plate do for three years. as has been
recommended by the efficiency ana
reform committees. heavier plate
will be secured.

Naturally, with all the correspondence

been much chance for inspection or
law enforcement. In fact, but for the
fact that dairy and other inspectors

not have got very far.
Scales Incorrect.

necessity for additional measures TOT

stated, that about so per cent OF me

short time Van Duyn will work out

inspection To see that the scales are
all right. There are probably Loo
