RUSS BABES WILL
Be SENT TO HOME
OF MAN LABELED
GETAWAYS MEANEST, WILL BE
GIVEN DEPENDENCY HEARING
PETITION rs FILED TODAY.

The four little children of Mr. and
Mrs. Antoine Russ. the former of whom
was charged by county and city oiTic-
ials with being Ottawa's meanese man.
and tho latter yesterday declared in
sane by commission in Judge Mayo-s
court, today were made defendants"
In dependency proceedings instituted
In the county court.
The oldest of the babies is only four
years Of age. and the youngest was
six months yesterday. Since their
mother began to show signs of failing
mentality they have been subjected to
much neglect. The father, failed to
provide for them properly and is ac.
cused by the authorities OF having
spent the bulk of his earnings in riot
Gus living, while his family were poor
ly fed and only half clothed.
Russ. after he secured the release
from the asylum OF his wife and off
springs. whittier they had been taken
when their condition became known to
the police. took vow that he would
never touch strong drink again and
that he would give to the children
the fatherly care they were rightfully
entitled to.
When the hearing is held before
Judge Mayo it is probable they will be
sent to the Detention Home where
they will be properly looked after by
competent nurses. The mother was
taken to the hospital at Kankakee
today.
Friends of Russ say he is not such
a bad sort and that there is an occa.
sional spark of manhood Pickering
thru his system. The court realizes
1t would be almost impossible for him
to take care of his small flock under
the circumstances and it is said by his
acquaintances that he will offer no
protest to committing the babies in
the county's home for unfortunate
children.
