MOTHER SPIES ON
BOYS KEEPERS
Say Family Father Left
Them with MiStreated
Her Sons.

Mrs. Jennie Husson, whose children
John. four and a half years old, and
Frank, three, were given into the Gus
tody of her husband, DR.. John Husson,
when she obtained a separation, petit
toned the Supreme Court yesterday
to modify the decree so that she could
have the children. alleging that they
were ill-treated by the family with
whom the father left them.
The Society for the Prevention of
Cruelty to Children suggested to DR..
Husson that the children be taken from
the home of Mr.. and Mrs. Alters, at 352
West 23d ST. Last Friday night, ac-
cording to Mrs. Husson, the two boys
we're taken away by Mrs. Louise K.
Park, whom Mrs. Husson is suing for
alternating her husbands affections, and
now the mother does not know where
they are.
The action Of Mrs. Husson followed
some detective work done by her after,
as she said, she had called at the
Alterses' home, learned that her son
John was i'll. and on her suggestion
that a physician be called had been or
dered from the house.
Mrs. Husson rented a room at Sol
West 22d St, directly in the rear OF
the house in which the Alterses live.
From her window she could watch her
children, and several times the mother
said she was compelled to witness their
i'll treatment without being able to
protect them.
Frank and John were in constant ter
ror, said Mrs. Husson. Alters, she al
legged, often dashed the younger boy,
and both lads were kept in the yard
until IL o'clock at night, the explana-
ton being that the boarders in the
house wished to sleep late mornings
and did not want TO be annoyed by
the early rising of the boys.
On one occasion, the mother says,
she saw her older boy bring the
younger one piece of bread. When
the incident was reported to Alters by
his eight-year-old son, Mrs. Husson
asserts. she saw Alters seize the child
who had taken the bread and lead him
into the kitchen. 1t was said at the
Alters home that DR.. Husson had not
been seen there in six weeks, and that
he owed money for his sons board.
Mrs. Husson reported the result Of
her observations to the Society for the
Prevention of Cruelty to Children.
Part of the time that Frank and John
were in the care of the Alters family
DR.. Husson was a patient at the Man
haitian Eye and Ear lnfrmary. Mrs.
Husson called there and he refused to
see her. 1t was explained to Mrs. Hus-
son, she says, that DR.. Husson's wife"
was visiting him at the time.

8 IMPRISONED IN
ELEVATOR 3 HOURS
Firemen Chop Hole in Car 10

Eight men started on a trip IN an
elevator in the high loft building al,
Joining the Waldorf, at 80 west 53d
St. about 5 o'clock last night 1t was
a down trip, but it wasn't finished until
almost 8 o'clock, and then eight wllted
passengers were taken out feet fore

vator runner, Ludwig Sarnowskl, OF
512 East goth ST., came out with them
but he's used to heated elevator shafts.
The car stopped midway between the
first and second floors. Policemen
from the Tenderloin station consulted
with the engineer of the building. The
engineer exhausted his repertory OF
first aid to injured elevators and still
it stuck. u,,
Captain Cozie, Lieutenant Weldon
and two men from Truck "a struggled
two hours before they chopped a hole
in the bottom of the car large enough
to let the imprisoned passengers escape
Eight men rushed TO the nearest tele-
phone and all tried at once to file their
alibis for being late for dinner.

strength of our financial and economic
position than the way in which the
country has withstood this worldwide
shock within the last two weeks.
"The banks have progressed to this
point: When the legislation was iirst
enacted the most careful estimates in
dicated that they might be organized
about the first of October, 1914. AS
matter of fact, these banks could
have been organized by the first Of
August, 1914. but, due to causes over
which we had no control, the organi-
cation was not perfected by that date.
The fact that the board itself had not
been organized on that date means
that the banks can certainly be organ
lied by the first of October, 1914, or
sooner, and that is comforting
thought, considering the difficulties
and the work that had to be DONE
