PICKS MOTHER
BY COMPLEXION
Bronx Justice DiSCards a
Precedent of Solomon
as Unsafe.

When King Solomon pronounced his
judgment in deciding the maternal pa
rontage Of child claimed by two wom-
en- he was more drastic than Justice Tier
ney, Of the Supreme Court in The Bronx,
who has just disposed Of a similar case.
But. then. Solomon did not have the
shades Of complexion Of the two
mothers" and the infant TO guide him,
as the Bronx jurist did.
Without regard for the ancient prece-
dent, Justice Tierney decided that Mrs
Helene Murphy was the mother of the
fve-year-old girl whose custody and
parentage we're in question. Mrs.
Murphy is a lght-complexioned negro.
Mrs. Annie Docket, the other mother"
with whom the child has been living, is
"black woman"
After reservinG decision in the case
/ for several days Justice Tierney wrote
an opinion, in which he referred 70 the
decision Of Solomon, saying: "lf a
modern Judge should attempt TO apply
| his system he would scarcely earn the
renown that Solomon is said 10 have
acquired throughout Israel by the wis
dom Of his judgment The respondent
/ Mrs. Dockett) is a black woman The
child is Of so light a complexion as not
easily to be distinguished from white
child.
Complexion Decides Case.
"The science Of hcredi.y is not yet
so exact as to be accepted as definitely
understood, but people had found out
before Mendel attempted to reduce the
chances Of reyersion TO type the uni
form rule that two black people did not
have white or light colored offspring.
/ The child is of the same complexion as
the relator Mrs. Murphy. and both
the alleged parents are persons Of near
~ white complexion. In this case the
condolences persuade me that the re-
lator is the mother Of the child
When the child was born Mrs.
f. Murphy was unable TO care for her. She
told q physician that she would like TO
turn the little one over 20 some family
until she could give II proper care.
] Mrs. Docket COnndcd % the same pny-
stefan that she would like 10 raise a
child. She was put into communication
with Mrs. Murphy. To the mother she
gave her name as Mrs. Brown. She con
scented 10 take the child, and the next
day sent her sister Mrs. smith," 20
get the infant. A few days later the
mother, lonesome for her offspring,
started out 20 see her, and was shocked
10 learn that the names and the ad-
dresses were fictitious.
Finds Baby After Four Years.
For four years Mrs. Murphy searched
for her baby, but without result. In
1914 she was attracted by newspaper
story about d suit which Mrs. Luyina
.Fredericks had brought for separa-
ton. in which the husband alleged that
his wife had foisted on him as her own
a baby which she had obtained else
where. Mrs Murphy worked on that
clcw, and recognized Mrs. Fredericks
as the woman VINO had called for her
child Then she ascertained the addres s
Of the supposed Mrs. Brown Mrs.
Dockett).
Mrs Murphy obtained a writ Of ha-
beas corpus and compelled Mrs. Docket
TO produce the disputed child. Before
Justice Tierney Mrs. Docket insisted
that the child was hers, and she was
supported in this contention by a ply
stefan.

Messengers Have Taken
Place Of Calls Since
Charities Inquiry.
PRICELESS SECRETS
TRUSTED ON WIRES
Brokers Confidence That Dam
ger Of Leaks Was Slight
Shattered by Hearings.
Don't phone send a man.

This. as matter Of safety, is the
now rule in Wall Street. where every
day information worth millions to the
right persons has passed over the telc-
phone wires, the senders confident that
thc danger Of their secrets leaking was
negligible The Developments IN the
charities inquiry, where II was estab-
lishcd that the police had squad Of
telephone tappers free to listen m
whore they may, have shattered this
confidence.
80 one knows that the police have
been listening in on Wall Street. But,
on the other hand, no one knows when
for some reason or other tap may
be put on a line or a group Of them.
Aside from any question of loss that
might accrue through information get
ting into wrong hands, the possibility
Of telephone conversations bobblng up
m unexpected places ~ not comforting
10 souls who arc naturally tmld.
Messengers Supplant Wires.
This is particularly true Of many
customers Of Wall Street houses. who
for various reasons have not cared TO
visit brokers' Offices in person and who
have done business over the wire.
Some are men IN politics or m posi-
tons of trust that makes 1T Gesirabl e
that their interests IN the market be
not a matter of gossip. Others m
professional life have had the same
reluctance 20 appear as spectators,
and 10 them the telephone has been a
necessity. Now TO a great extent,
these arc relying on messengers 10 do
their business.
More than possibly any other dis,
trict of like area I'm the world, Wall
street uses the te erhone. Houses IN
which there are a dozen trunk lines
are not az all uncommon and some
houses have more than q score. All
tho larger firms. in addition, have
private lines. while the private offices
of some operators are filed with in
.trumcuts leading here, there and
everywhere. The Office Of the late Jim
kcenc. for example, looked moro Ike
telephone storeroom than anything
else.

climb to the lieutenant colonelcy of a
dragon regiment, when he retired to
the estate in Ireland where Horatio
Herbert Kitchener, the to-be-distin-
guished son, was born. Young Kitch-
ener received his fundamental mill
tary education at Woolwich, where he
displayed only ordinary brilliancy
with the exception of his liking for
math ematicS. On graduating he re-
ceived a commission in the Royal en-
gineers, but when not yet 81 years of
age he attached himself to a French
army in the F'ranco-Prussian war. He
had been in the service only a short
time when he contracted pneumonia
during a balloon flight, and had such
a prolonged and serious illness that
he had to give up further service for
France. Kitchener's experience in
European warfare-prior to his di-
rection of the great war of 1914
therefore, had been limited only to a
few balloon flights in France.
Was a Bachelor.
In 1874 when a British expedition
was sent out to survey western Pales-
tine, Kitchener was one of the eager
volunteers accepted for this service
For months he travelled over the hills
and valleys of this peacea BILE Bible
land with his thcodolite and survey
ing tape, and with this life in the
open he grew to be a tall, gaunt sub
altern with a hard face we'll burned
His contribution to the topogra phical
knowledge of the Holy Land com
pleted, young Kitchener was sent to
Cyprus which Great Britain had just
acquired, to organize a system of
courts, work in which he displayed
administrative ability and tact
He had steady blue-gray passion
less eyes, and a heavy moustach COW
cred a mouth that shut close and firm
like a wolf trap. He believed with all
his might in the gospel of work. He
had illimita BILE self-confidence. For
bupgling and faipt-heartedness he
was incapable of feeling sympathy or
showing mercy; an officer who failed
him once got no second chance.
He was Indifferent to popularity
particularly among women, and
though feted all over the world in
social circles, he never married. In
1910 he paid brief visit to the United
States during a trip around the world.
At that time it came out in the New
York papers that the great Kitchener
was a woman hater." He took occa-
sion to deny this and said the only
reason he had never married was be-
cause he believed a man could not
be a good soldier and a good husband
at the same time.

II session of the legislature, together
with the constant menace of Hutch
inson's gobbling up the town and its
being carried to the southwest city
by that able statesman, Emerson
Carey, are reasons assigned for the
sudden interest taken by Topeka's
business men in state politics. With
all the bacon that Senator Carey and
w. Y. Morgan have carried away with
them from under. Governor Capper's
nose in the past, confronting Topeka,
the business men evidently are deter
mined to have no more of it if a meth
cd can be devised to help matters.
Leavenworth Scared, Too.
over at LeaVenWorth, too, there is
fear of the majority of the state pris-
on's population going to Hutchinson
and with expected announcement
from the veteran legislator, Senator
StillingS, that he won't be Leaven-
Worth's watch dog any longer there
is a frantic effort being made to put
a business man in the saddle At pres
ent, it looks as though C. E. Snyder,
LeaVenwOrth banker and former
member of the legislature, will be in
duced to make the race. Last year.
the Hutchinson delegation introduced
a bill raising the entrance age to the
state prison to &c years and if it had
not been for Senator Stillings the bill
would have passed. AS a majority of
convicts are under 20 years old and
the bill provided that those under that
age should be removed to Hutchinson
reformatory, the menace of that city
has been strongly impressed upon
Leavenworth county as well as Shaw
nee county.
