CHILD REMOVED FROM
 UNDESIRABLE SURROUNDINGS
Four-Year- Old from New London
 Family Sent to County Home.

Alice Powers, the four-year- child of William A. and Etta Powers, was on Wednesday committed from New London to the New London County home in this city as neglect ed and dependent child. A petition for her commitment brought the testi- mony of Richard W. Mansfield, Ed ward Lynde and the matron. of the Day Nursery, who testified to the conditions of the Powers family and declared that Mrs. Powers was not a proper person to have control of the child.
 MT. Mansfield and Edward Lynde told that Mrs. Powers had been ab- sent from her family two or three weeks and that she told them that she had been in Providence with one Arnold and another man for whom she cared more than she cared for her husband. The woman, they declared, used vile and obscene language in the hearing of her child. They also said the home of the Powers family was not tidy and that conditions were not such as they should be.
 MT. Powers is a painter and display ed affection for the child. He did not want the child sent to the county broken when she realized that it was proposed to send her away.
 Alice was taken to the home by Mrs Robert Chappell in an auto. Mrs. Powers had nothing to say when she was given the opportunity in court. It is probable that she will have to change her methods in life else she will have to answer in court proceed ings.
