THE CORNISH HOME AGAIN.

The Ardmoreite today resents the
disposition Of NJ Z. Harris. and others,
connected with the Cornish Orphans
Home. to discredit the report made by
Mrs. Julius Kahn and Miss Daisy Nicr-
OILS. Of Ardmore. who. this paper insists,
were delegated to investigate allega-
tions OF abuse and neglect at the home
the latter part Of March.
Mr. Harris has repeatedly demanded
that this newspaper publish certain
matters intended to discredit the re-
port Of these two women. Because Of
their unsupported nature and its be
lief in the facts related by Mrs Kahn
and Miss Nichols. The ArdmOreite re-
fused 10 comply with Harris request.
AS a next resort Harris had some o.
these matters printed elsewhere and
threatens to circulate them in Ard
more.
II is only as a matter Of justice TO
the two women mentioned that The
Ardmoreite reopens the Cornish mat
ter. Had Harris attacked the paper
rather than Mr. Wolverton's represent
atives. The ArdmOreite would have re-
fused 10 say anything more in criti-
eism Of the Home at this time. and
simply left Il for the public to decide
whether this paper or Harris relate
the truth.
The Cornish Home matter Is a long
story, with deviations from many an
giles. The Ardmoreite presents today
publication primarily 10 convince Mr.
Harris and others that he cannot. witt
any hope OF belief in this community
attempt 10 discredit the veracity am
motives Of these women. The various
parts OF the article today have beer
assembled after careful investigation
and as careful consideration. The Ard
moreite believes that everything II has
said and is now saying about the Cor
nish Home is correct. The public Il
left 20 make its own decision.
The Ardmoreite believes that today
