JUDGE Hamilton Has Second Case
Where Adopted Child Figures
for Decision.

The widows pension law does mot
cover cases Of adopted children, &C
cording to a ruling in the application
Of Mollie Malone, cclc.e6. L -A!c..;
a pension she asked for for an adopt
ed child was dismissed by Judge
Hamilton in the district court here.
Mrs Malone, widow, by consent Of
the mayor of the city, adopted a
child whose mother was still living.
Mrs. Malone made application for
pension for this child, but It was de-
MED.
The only steps for adoption taken

one from Fort Madison and in this
case a grandmother had adopted

The court held in this case, also.

[By H. C. Hamilton, United Press

NEW YORK, Jan. 24.-The prob
ability that Les Darcy will be seen
in his first American bout somewhere
in the west protruded all over the
place today as Tim OSullivan De-
came more and more surprised at the
avariciousness Of Grant Hugh Browne.
The latter, it appears from converse
ton of O'Sulliyan, does not begin TO
realize the monetary value OF Les
Darcy as a scrapper, while Tom An
drews and Matt Hinkel have shown
signs of being well equipped in the
pocketbook O'Sullivan met Browne
yesterday and they made money
sounds most Of the day. The clintS
of real coins. however, wasn't heard
and O'Sullivan turned away, giving
the impression that he wasn't crazy
as might have been suspected over
the prospect of a debut in Madison
Square Garden. O'Sullivan said be-
fore meeting Browne that he would
sign il the proper inducements were
offered. Apparently they were not
proper. for the papers still have
blank space.
O'Sullivan already has been in COM
munication with Hinkel and An
drews and stated just few days ago
that he was getting ready to sign
for Cleveland c: Milwaukee bout.
He received telegram from Darcy
yesterday urging haste in the signing
of articles.
Darcy wants to fight and the quick
er OtSullivan signs a set OF articles
the better pleased he will be.
