RIOT FOLLOWS
JUDGMENT OF
NEW SOLOMON

NEW YORK, April ga dramatic
scene was enacted in Essex Market
police court yesterday when Magls-
trate HeaIy was called upon to solve
a baby mix-up that has perpleNed the
doctors in Gouverneur Hospital, as
well as the mothers OF two seven
month-old infants.
Mrs. GusSif Felner came into court
last week with the plea that her baby
and that OF Mrs. Lillian Leoniff had
been exchanged when they were
transferred from the maternity ward
to the nursery OF the hospital. She
asked that her own baby be restored
TO her.
Mrs. Leoniff at FIRST was certain
that she had her own baby. Later
she was not quite so sure.
Police Reserves Called.
When court opened today the dis
putting mothers. their husbands and
their other children were on hand
with the two babies and numerous
demonstrative adherents who be-
came so riotousIy noisy when the cas-.
was finally decided that the police
reserves were called TO restore order.
When the two women and their
husbands and the doctors and nurses
who had attended the mothers ip the
hospital had given their testimony
and failed to establish conclusively
the Identity OF the two infants who
slept peacefully throughout the long
argument, Oblivious to the fact that
their future was at stake, the msgis-
trate decided to try an experiment.
He took siX-year-old Isaac Felner
and waking up each baby in turn
compared their eyes with those OF
Mrs. Felner's young son. He then
repeated the comparison with eight
year-old Julius Leoniff, son OF the
other disputant. The doctors and
nurses were then invited to make a
similar comparison. This convinced
them that a mix-up had occurred.
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 order
ed the court room cleared and ar
ranged for the two women to leave
the court by different 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
pitaI doctors TO adopt some means OF
Identifying babies in the future.
1T should be possible to take i'm
prints of their feet or hands so that
difficulties OF this kind might be
avoidsd," he said.

view, marks the second large state TO
turn to the Republican party. The
first victory was In Wisconsin and the
sweeping victory in Minnesota this
week marks the return of the Republi-
can party to power. The Republicans
everywhere are behind the government

lowed by constructive measures to win
the war and the rebuilding of our
country afterwards.

outcome of three principal contests
had been determined. The available re-

tor over James A. Peterson, both on
the Republican ticket, and the selection
of w. L. Comgtock as the Democratic

NATIONAL WAR SAVINGS DAY.

June 28th is National War Savings
Day, designated as such by the Presi-
dent Of the United States. The aim
of the government Is to obtain pledges
from the citizens that they will pur-
chase during the entire year certain
amounts of war savings stamps, so that
in making provisions for the raising
OF revenue from o her sources it can be
definitely known the approximate
amount to be received from the sale
OF thrift stamps and war savings GER
tincates. The amount desired to be
sold Is $40 per capita this makes the
Idaho county apportionment $271, 260 I;
the estimated population being 1858.
Sales up to the present time are ap-
proximately 100000 leaving $780,
10000 to be sold during the balance Of
the war. The maximum amount that
one individual can own is $1,000. And
not more than 800 worth can be pur-
chased In any one day by a single in

expected that In the matter Of thrift
stamps and war savings certificates it
VIII meet its quota. These certificates
are an ideal way to invest small saw
