On returning home shortly before 6
o'clock last night, Mrs. T. Q. Donald

Kyle. 10 years old, in a semi-conscious

Unsigned Note.
The maid showed Mrs. Donaldson a
note which read: Your maid will do
her work by signs in the future. If
she had listened to us she would have
been well off and rich too. Take
warning" The note was unsigned.
Headquarters Detectives Sweeny and
Bckley went to the house, and In an
swer to their questions the maid
wrote out the answers. The hand
writing on the note that she said had
been given her by two men and her
answers were identical.

and waking up each baby in turn
compared their eyes with those OF
Mrs. Felner's son. He then repeated
the comparison with eight-year-old Ju-
lius Leoniff, son Of the other disput-
ant. The doctors and nurses were
then invited to make a similar COM
parison. This convinced them that a
mixup had occurred.
Compares Their Eyes.
The magistrate then pronounced his
Judgment and the babies were restored
to their rightful mothers. Adherents
of both sides immediately voiced their
opinions, creating such an uproar that
the magistrate ordered the court room
cleared and arranged for the two
women to leave the court room by Diff
ferent doors to avoid another clash.
1t was shown that when the babies
were taken to the hospital nursery
Immediately after birth neither of
them had been tagged and that Mrs.
Leoniff. the more robust Of the two
women. had nursed both her own child
and Mrs. Felner's at intervals while
she remained in the hospital.
Magistrate Healy advised the hos
pital doctors to adopt some means OF
identifying babies in the future.
1T should be possible to take i'm

difficulties of this kind might be avoid

Sharp Debate Ends in Re,

Mems Resolution.
REP. NOLAN Is STOPPED
San Francisco Member De,
MED Right to Read Re
Election on Senate"

Discussion Of the murder trial of
Thomas J. Mooney. San Francisco
labor leader, opened again in Con-
gress yesterday afternoon.
after a short, sharp debate, the
House hatly declined to have printed
in the Record a statement Of the
case by the San Francisco Labor
Council.
Representative John /. Nolan, OF
San Francisco. a labor leader. at
tempted to read a telegram from the
San Francisco council which denied
the recent statement by Senators
Poindexter. of Washington, and Phe-
Ian. of California, on the case.
Statement Denounced Speeches.
The labor councils statement unan-
imously adopted by the body Friday
night and sent to California Senators
and Representatives, denounced the
speeches of the two Pacific Coast
Senators on the attitude of organ
lied labor toward the Mooney case
as misrepresentation
Because Of this reflection on the
Senate, Representative Saunders, of
Virginia, acting chairman of the
House, ruled that the telegram could
not be inserted in the record. The
point of order against the telegram
was made by Representative Camp
bell, of Kansas, who said the rule
against one House rejecting on the
other was so well known that he
would not argue il.
Representative Nolan. whose speech
was interrupted by Campbell. did not
dispute the correctness of the ruling.
1t is probable labor leaders will find
another method to read into. the
record a denial of the Poindexter and
Phelan statements that a general pro-
test strike was planned by organized
labor unless Mooney was freed.
After Representative Cannon, OF
Illinois. and other conservative Re-
publicans had threatened moves to-
ward renewed denunciation of or
ganized labor organizations, Nolan
asked that the record of the whole
proceedings be stricken from the
record. This was done.
The telegram addressed to Nolan

HOLLAND WILL
GET SUPPORT
OF UNCLE Sam
President in Firm Sympathy
with Determination of
Dutch to Be Neutral.
CONFERS WITH LANSING
Germany, Trying to Force
Trouble, May Find Another
Nation Against Them.

President Wilson and Secretary
Lansing held a long conference at
the White House yesterday. 1t is
understood that the critical situa-
ton between Holland and Germany
was the most important subject Of
which they talked.
Later officials intimated that the
United States deeply sympathizes
with the plight Of Holland and stands
ready to aid her in every possible
way. Negotiations over ships. it is
stated, are rapidly approaching a
conclusion satisfactory to both Hol-
land and the United States.
Is Real Neutral
At the same time the Dutch Le-
Sation here announced that the Ger
man Minister to the Netherlands is
still at his post in The Hague. The
Dutch Minister at Berlin returned to
The Hague only for conference.
The legation also denied that any
embargo has been placed on the ex-
port OF tin and other much-needed
commodities from the Dutch colo
nies. It was explained that a H.
cense system has been put into force,
similar to the system whereby the
U. S. War Trade Board controls ex-
ports from the United States. This
license requirement, the legation ex-
planned. is imposed purely to pro-
tect Hollands own interests and has
nothing to do with the negotiations
either with Germany or the United
States.
Holland. according to the view of
the State Department, is a genuine
neutral Her sttitude may be describ-
ed as neither pro-ally nor pro-Ger-
man. but strictly pro-Dutch. The
very tenacity with which she has
chung to hep neutrality has earned
her enemies in both camps.
Asked Of the developments that
might be expected to follow a YIELD
ing by Holland to German pressure,
officials at the State Department as
serted that they did not believe any
extreme measures would have to be
resorted to. The strength of the Ger
man pressure and the difficulties of
Hollands position are nevertheless
realized here.
Any concessions which Holland
makes to Germany for the transport

District Wen Up.
Quite In order with the nation wide
scramble to outdo the 5000, ,000, 900
mark set for the country. Washing
toms subscription to the liberty loan
up to the close of business Friday
night was in excess OF s12,0O0, 900. Yes
terday's sale OF bonds in the District
brought the total undoubtedly UP to
81. 10000. which is the Capitals quota.
The Liberty Loan Committee Of the
District will begin the fourth and final
week Of the campaign today with
amount and put a star on the honor
flag which is to fly from the top OF
the District Building.
In the two previous loan campaigns
a larger amount was subscribed dur
ing the final week than in all the pre-
vious weeks. and It is believed that
this campaign will prove no excep-
ton.
Some Pe.simism. ----. ..
Notwithstanding the fairly good
grounds for optimism concerning the
country's support Of the third loan,
oficials here took a slightly gloomy
view Of the total that they were able
to announce yesterday facing, as they
did. only six more days in which Ia
make good. They said:
This figure includes a greater part
Of the Liberty Day subscriptions, II
is believed. and the increase of only
approximately SO, 5,0Oo, 900 on the day
was not wholly encouraging. Nineteen
of the twenty-five days Of the cam.
paign have expired and latest official
reports to the Treasury Department
show that only 20 per cent of the
minimum quota of 5000 0OO, ,o)) sough,
has been subscribed"
Three of the twelve Federal Reserve
districts have exceeded their quota
Minneapolis. st. Louis and Kansas
City. with Chicago. San Francisco
Dallas and Boston trying hard to at.
tain their allotted goal.
The first three districts named. with
their subscriptions and percentage
are as follows:
Minneapolis, sl25.ol2.3oo. 11s per cent
st. Louis, S143. SIS S50 ITO nar cant
Kansas City. s130, sss, 200. 100 per cent
Though unofficial estimates las
night indicated that the total was nI
ready close around the two and ,
quarter billion figure. which the open
ing of business Monday mornius
would doubtless show. it was pointe,
out that New York had attained onl,
50 per cent. Of her quota, PhiladeIphi,
e9' Chicago 81, and Cleveland 66.
