dition of the faithful missionaries in
the South Dakota field, covering both
whites and Indians. they must have

Wilkeson was we'll dressed,

Frazier, 3402 North 32nd street,
father of the child, testified he
had pursued Wilkeson into the
bushes, armed with a shotgun,
and had held him until policemen
arrived.
Lewd pictures drawn by Wilke-

poems that had been found in his
rooms, were produced.
Wilkeson's only defense was
his statement that he liked little

MOTHER LOSING
FIGHT FOR CHILD

This Is not a case of the well
fare of the child. This is a case
as to the legal ownership of the
child"
With this ruling, Superior
Judge Chapman today gave Mrs.
Pearl Lane a serious setback in
the battle for her little 7-year-
old son, Gilbert Hamilton. as
against the grandmother, Mrs.
Eba Hamilton of Portland.
With the balance of the law
evidently against him, Attorney
Carroll, for Mrs. Lane, attempted
to get before the court, an argu-
ment to the effect that a child al
ways is better off with his moth
err.
Judge Hardin of Seattle, who
for Mrs. Hamilton, re-
piled that such an argument was
not pertinent. He declared that
The Tacoma times. [volume] (Tacoma, Wash.) 1903-1949, 1915-06-07

the only question before the
court was the enforcement of a
ruling of an Oregon judge, who

mother.
Boy With Mother.
Following this, the mother had
kidnapped the child and held it
successfully until a short time
ago when the grandmother seized
it and carried ii as far as Cen
tralia, on her way to Portland.
Judge Chapman indicated that
he believed the only question be-
fore him was the enforcement of
the Oregon order. This would
give the child to its grandmother,
and take him from its mother.
The little boy is in court, in his
mothers lap. Just across a mar
row table sits the grandmother
and her attorneys. But the boys
whole attention is for his moth sr.

Defeated Constructiyely

II notice the reports of the
game speak of the defeat of the
scouts of Admiral Fletcher by
Admiral Beatty" | said. How
were they defeated If there were
none?"
"Constructively defeated" he
answered with a smile. There
were no real scouts on either side.
theoretically the scout cruisers
were extended in a fan shape in
advance of the two fleets.
What actually happened was
that two officers-one the COM
mander of the scouts on one side
and the other on the other side
were both on board the umpire's
vessel between the two fleets. One
man was locked in a room in the
bow of the vessel, the other in
another cabin in the stern. Each
man had before him map of the
North Atlantic with pins showing
the locations of his theoretical
scout vessels. The moves made
by each were reported to the UNI
pire who decided the result.
How 1t Worked Out
What actually happened In
this game was that Admiral
Fletcher endeavoring to defend
the coast from hostile fleet, but
being deficient in scout cruisers
concentrated his scouts in an en-
deavor to break through Admira!
Beatty's line of scouts, through
his second liz e of battle cruisers.
and so to tho rear of his main
battleship fleet so as to attack
and destroy his theoretical trans
ports carrying the theoretical
landing force.
"His move failed because Ad-
miral Beatty had concentrated his
battle cruisers Immediately be-
hind the line Of scouts at exactly
the point where Admiral Fletch-
er's scouts tried to break through.
Consequently more than half Of
Admiral Fletcher's scouts were
theoretically destroyed.
