Four Half-Starved Children
Are Taken Care of by

Half starved. ragged and grimy
with dirt four little children wake ed
into the office of Humane Agent
A. M. Welch yesterday and said their
papa had told them to come there,
as he was no longer able to care for
them. The children, the eldest a gir
OF II and the youngest a tow-headed
baby boy aged 5. were taken in
charge and sent to the Detention
home, where they will be cared for
until some kind-hearted persons de-
sire to adopt them.
Humane Agent Welch listened to
the pitiful story of the children while
tears welled down his cheeks. i've
been identified with the work of help
ing the poor and afflicted for a good
many years" he said, but never have
| heard of a more pathetic story. 1t
is the saddest that has ever come to
the attention Of the society"
Accompanied by his wife and four
children. George w. Adams left
Louisiana last August. travelling over
land. and arrived in Tulsa during the
fall. but not until adversely and death
had laid hands on the family and
taken the mother.

Arriving in Tulsa they went to the
Humane SOCltlS anu W'ip iui hl'i'NN
with a tent. When winter began it
was too cold to live longer in the
tent, and the father with his little
ones were sent to Keystone where
they lived with an aunt until she re-
moved to point in Indiana when
they returned to live in West Tulsa
with a son who is married.
Adams, who says he is seventy
years old and in poor health, Is un-
able to work and when the burden
became too much for his son to care
for all of them he gave up trying
and the distracted father sent the
children to Humane Agent Welch.
Despite their ragged clothes,
tousled hair and all too plain evi-
dence OF lack of wholesome food.
they were sitting in the office of the
society gathered about Mr.. Welch
with smiling faces when reporter
for The World found them playing
contentedly with alarm clocks and
other articles
Judges, clerks and employees visited
the office and left small pieces Of
change and the ragged little urchins
fairly beamed their thanks. They
were petted and pampered and no
one would ever have guessed what
they had gone through.
Orders were left at the Detention
home to have the bath water nice
and hot and the tousled hair will be
shingled and given a chance to grow
straight.
Three other children were received
into the home from parents unable
to care for them longer.

BIG zoo RATHER
BITES A KEEPER
SwiftFirst Aid Work Saves
Life of John TOOmey
at Bronx Park.

Coiled in its cage, with its beady
eyes watching every movement mace
by Keeper John Toomey OF the Reptile
House at Bronx Zoo, six-foot dia-
mondback rattlesnake, ugly because OF
the recent loss Of It's Texas freedom,
awaited its chance yesterday morning.
Toomey, at work, got too near. The
snake sprang.
In its eagerncss the rattler underes-
timated the distance, but the force OF
the spring hurled it along the smooth
sand of the cage until the fangs struck
Toomey's hand. into which the venom
spurted. Toomey jumped back and
slammed the doc shut.
Headkeeper Charles Snyder, who was
cleaning another cage twenty-five feet
away, sucked Toomey's hand for fifteen
minutes while Dr. Gilbert Van der
Smissen. the Zoo physician, was has
tenlng to the wounded man. Then DR..
w. Reid Blair, the Zoo veterinarian,
and DR.. Van der Smissen injected anti
venom serum into Toomey. In the
afternoon ne was taken TO the German
Hospital. Park Avenue and seventy
seventh Street. No alarming symptoms
had developed last night. lie was,
however, very sick.
"Snvde- and Van der Smissen's
rronnt treatment saved Toomey's life,'
snid DR.. RAYMOND l.. Ditmars, the cura-
tor and authority on reptiles. The
snake was in an unusually healthy
condition-which means very venomous
poison-but Toomey will probably
come along all right. There is TO dan
ger to Snyder OF the poison working
through the membrane of the mouth.
A cobra's poison would go right
through. but not the rattlesnakes.
Toomey has been an employe az
the park for fifteen years. lie Is thir-
ty-fve years old, and lives at Southern
boulevard and East l7sth street, The
Bronx. The snake was brought hye
weeks ago from Texas.
This is the first yenomous bite ever
received at the Reptile House, which
was opened in November, 1893 Despite
this keepers consider the house FAR
more dangerous than any Of the AMI
NAL buildings, because danger Hes
quiet and is always present.
II was at first feared that the serum,
which is imported from DR.. Calmette,
chief of the poison bureau Of the Pas
teur Institute at Paris, could not be
obtained in sufficient quantity for full
treatment Of Tocmey. The war inter-
rupted DR.. Ditmars's plan OF getting a
fresh supply every six months. There
are only six or eight tubes in the
country. DR.. Ditmars had two at the
Park. and two more, originally
destined for an exploring expedition,
were obtained yesterday afternoon
from Abercrombie and Fitch.
