J. Shepards May Adopt
3 Waits as Playmates for Heir
While Finley r Is Making Up His Mind the Three Two
Girls and a Boy, Are Visiting in the Home of
the Former Helen Gould

Little Finley J. Shepard, jr, who
fourteen months ago shook himself
free from the name of John Doe No.
1o4 and became heir to the former Miss
Helen Gould's millions, is unconscious
ly choosing for himself brother or
sister with whom he may divide, in
later years, his generous heritage.
One little boy and two little girls,
all of them waits and all of them
about Finley. jr's. age. which is six.
are living with the Shepsrds in the
old Gould home. at 57a Fifth Avenue. it
became known yeste day.
The one that Finley. jr, likes best
will likely become his brother or sister
by adoption. If he feels that his hap
piness requires ali of them, it is prob
able that MIR. and Mrs Shepard will ask
the courts TO make the three their fos-
ter children.
Described Merely as Visitors"
Just visitors is the way Mr.. Shep-
ard described yesterday the little waits
who share the back seat of the Shepard
limousine with Finley, jrp who quarrel
with him over his hobby horses, and
who scamper with him through the
luxurious rooms of the Fifth Avenue
home and across the broad lawns of
the Shepard estate, near Tarrytown.
Yet they are visitors who, if Finley,
jr, didn't like them so well, would
long since have worn out their well
come Louis, who may be Finley, jr.'s,
foster brother. came into the Shepard
home nearly a year ago and has re-
mained there constantly since that
time, it was learned yesterday.
Helen, who may be Miss Helen Gould

BALLIN WOULD RISK U. S.
WAR AND USE U-B0ATS

LeIpsIc, Jan. o.-lhe
"Neueste Nachnchten" pub
ishes a statement which it
says was made by Albert
BALM. director general Of the
Hamburg-Amencan Steam
ship Line, at political lunch
con attended by the Chief Of
the Admiralty and other
prominent Germans.
Speaking Of the use of
submarines, Herr BALM said
that he would despise a
statesman who, for the sake
of the German ships in
America. would permit him
self to be restrained from
employment of the instru-
ment that would guarantee
victory over England.
THE German ships in
termed in the United States
would be endangered only
in case Of war between this
country and Germany. Their
value has been estimated a.

NEW LEAK SENSATION
Operators Testimony So Interesting.
Probers Continue N. Y. Hearing.

New York, Feb. despite posi-
biIity that the international situation
may demand their presence IN WASH
ington at any moment, congressional
investigators were confronted by con-
! Trajectory testimony of such impor-
tance in the "leak'' inquiry today that
they decided to continue their hear
iI1gs here
Plans were fully laid yesterday for
disseminating the New York hearing
last night but the testimony or James
w. Becker telegraph operator in
the brokerage house of e. F. Hutton
& Company, so changed the situation
that a decision to remain here was
reached suddenly.
Becker fatty contradicted the decla-
ration of F. A. Connolly, Washing
ton broker, that on December 70 he
sent a message containing advance in
formation on President Wilson's COM
ing peace note over a private tele-
graph wire between his office and the
Hutton house.
John F. Hummell, a telegraph OPP
orator in the Hutton house, on the
Southern" wire there, testified that
he did not receive the Connolly fore
cast of the presidents message. His
wire and that OF Joseph NJ. Rocker,
who sWore yesterday that he did not
receive the Connolly message, are the
only two between the Hutton and the
Connolly houses.
Adjourn to Washington Saturday.
New York, Feb. 2.-Hea rings by
the leak investigating committee will
be resumed in Washington tomorrow
morning at 10 o'clock, Chairman
Henry announced today. George A.
Ellis of E. F. Hutton & Company,
who wrote the message warning
brokers of the coming of the presi-
dents peace note, probably will be
the first witness.

floor. House members voted to table
the resolution, following a statement
by Representative Bardwell, chairman
of the house highways committee.
Bardwell declared all interests had
been given fair consideration in the
hearings and that men interested in
road building had been invited to at
tend the committee meetings. A mo-
ton BY Gilman. of Leavenworth, 20
table the resolution, was adopted and
the leak probe was ended.
New Compensation Bill.
Travis, of Allen county, has intro
duced in the house a workmen's COM
pensation bill which would compel all
corporations and individuals employ
ing help to provide indemnity insur-
ance for the protection of laborinS
men and their dependents. The new
bill provides a lengthy schedule of
awards that shall be made to work.
men under the compensation act. The
schedule of compensation is based on
classifications IF injuries. rIovIsions
ers to file with the secretary of state
their intention to come under or get
from under provisions of the law, are
embodied in the new bill.
Let in Non-Residents.
Caudill, of Comanche county, has q
cooperative bill in the house which
would permit nonresident STOCKHOLM
of cooperative corporations in this
state. Under the present law, only
resident stockholders may organize a
cooperative corporation. Caudilfs
bill would compel the organization of
corporations with majority of the
stockholders residents of the state, but
permits non-residents. up to the con-
trolling interest, to be residents of
other states.
Increase Salaries.
The committee on fees and Salaries
has introduced in the house a bill 70
increase the salary of the secretary Of
state to $4,000 year. Under the
present law, the salary of the secre
ltary of state is $4,000 a year The
new law would become effective in
January, 1919, and would not affect
the salary paid to J. II. Botkin, the
present secretary of state.

Top. They are the standards on

concerning the attempt of any one to
fool the public regarding it's drinks.
To offer or sell such drinks, whether
they contain Intoxicating liquors or
not, is made a misdemeanor under
terms of the house measure. Such
person, manufacturing, selling or Of
fering for sale the beer substitutes
would be compelled to pay a fine of
500 and go to Jail thirty days. 1t is
not necessary to establish under the

sary to secure a conviction is to es-

Many Frozen Pipes.
Topeka plumbers were swamped
with calls today to repair water pipes
that froze and burst Thursday night.
It was reported this morning that
hundreds of water pipes in the city
were frozen. The gas supply was
practically nil and there was much
suffering among the poor of the city.
So far there has been little wire
trouble out of Topeka and the cold
weather has not interfered seriously
with train and street car service. Alb
sence of snow is responsible for the
lack of trouble. There has been prac-
tically no snow in Kansas this week.
The extreme cold weather has dam
aged the wheat to large extent and
much of it probably will be killed on
account of the unusual lack of snow.
The wheat in nearly all parts of Kan
sas is dead above the ground but the
roots in most cases are still all right.
Farmers are caring for livestock
with great difficulty and there prob
ably will be large loss of cattle from
the cold snap.
