In one East Side home radiant
mother sat yesterday with her baby in
her arms and smiled happily at neigh
bors swarming in and out with cor
gratulations and good wishes. In an
other home not far off a heartbroken
woman tried to pretend to be interest
ed in the little chuckling baby who
scrambled around the floor.
They Tere Mrs. Gussie Felner, of 167
Ridge Street, and Mrs. Minnie Leoniff
of SO Scanned Street, who exchanged
babies yesterday at the order of Magis-
trate Healy of the Essex Market Court
because she thought her own baby had
been mixed with Mrs. Leoniff's infant
when both mothers were in the same
maternity ward at Gouverneur Hospi-
tai last September. Magistrate Healy
based his decision upon the evidence Of
DR.. Jerome j. Wiener, of Gouverneur
Hospital, who admitted that Mrs. Leo
niff's baby had been given to Mrs. Eel
ner for feeding, as we'll as upon the
insistence of Mrs. Felner that little
Blanche Leoniff was hers.
Baby Chases Tin Spoon
II no want to think of her." said Mrs
Leoniff yesterday. cit hurt my heart
so. Pm crying inside all time. This
nice girl, but had held the other six
months already, and thought all time
she was, my baby"
Meanwhile the new Blanche, who had
been Annie Felner, wriggled around the
floor Of her new home.- chasing tin
spoon, on which she was ambitious to
try her two new teeth. She declined to
be interviewed about the startling
change in her life, and fairly laughed
in the faces of those who wanted to
know how it felt to have one mother
one day and another the next.
1t made no difference to one of
Blanche's disposition to be little un-
wanted thing, with two mothers willing
to give her up for smaller, daintie1
little girl with long black lashes.

Omaha Mother Boasts Of Six
Sons Helping to Whip the Kaiser
Five Are in the Fighting Service-The Sixth Counts
Himself Unlucky Because He Is in Conservation
Work and Cant Get Into Khaki

OMAHA, April 27.--Six sons in the
service of the governmental they
have--arc the offering of Mrs. j. H.
McShane, pioneer family of Omaha, to
help defeat the Kaiser.
Not one of these young men, ranging
in age from nineteen to thirty-one,
sons of one of Nebraska's richest fami
lies, waited to be called into the SER
vice.
When the war broke out all of the
McShane boys began making plans to
help the goverN2lent in war work.
President Wilson on hearing of the
family of fighters" sent a personal
letter to Mr.. and Mrs. McShane con-
graduating them on their splendid sac
rifice.
At the outbreak of the war four of
the boys were engaged in business here,
and the other two, Leo and Robert,
were attending school. Now they are
cause OF democracy.
. Arthur McShane. thirty-one, the old
est of the half dozen, is born soldier.
Since he was able to carry a gun he
has been q member Of q militia unit.
He served during the Mexican trouble.
When President Wilson in his mes
sage said "a condition of war existed
betw On the United States and Ger
many" Arthur was a first lieutenant in
the 4th Regiment, Nebraska National
Guard. He is now stationed at Camp
Cody, New Mexico.
At that time Robert was attending
school. He quit and joined the ma
chine gun company of the 4th Regi-
ment. He later was transferred to the
aviation corps, and now is training
somewhere in Scotland"
+. When the announcement was made of
the first officers training camp Thomas,
twenty seven, told his mother he was
going to attend the camp. He received
a second lieutenant's commission.
He is now located at Camp Dodge,
and soon will see service in France
John, twenty-nine, did not have as
easy chance of getting into the service
as his other brothers. He went to
Washington especially to get into an
officers training camp. He could not
get into the camp, and so enlisted as
a private in the marine corps. He is
now "out or che Atlantic"
George, twenty-five, who had been
student of chemistry, joined an ambu-
New-York tribune., 1918-04-28

began his conference with representa-
tlves of both elements he discovered
they were being won by his argument,
which was to the effect that x31c coun-
try needs the Republican party; it
must be united; we are no better pre-
pared for peace than we we're for war,
and 1t is the patriotic duty of the war
ring elements of the G. Q. P. to get
together. They submitted without a
struggle, and the following night men
and women who were such bitter po-
htical enemies sthat they had not
spoken socially for eight years, dincd
and commingled just ss they did prior
to 1910.
The effect of the promised harmony
upon the state election next fall is ap-
parent. Right now one of the hardest
political battles of years is in progress
0mong Gubernatorial aspirants. Chair
man Hays, before leaving the state,
gave the assurance that he will be back
Republican nominee and with a group
of Eastern spellbinders will stump
every county
Democrats Alarmed
This announcement by Mr.. Hays
threw more Or less fear into the hearts
Francis J. Heney, famous as graft
prosecutor, expects the Democratic
Administration to come to his aid, in
the event he is nominated. District
Attorney Thomas Lee Woolwine, of Los
Angeles, is the other Democratic as
Dirant. He has received the assurance
from the President through Secretary
Tumulty that the Administration will
take no part in california politics until
after the primaries, but ~ was init
mated that it would be active during
the closing days of the campaign.
This indicates that the eyes of tho
nation are upon California this year.
The Republican National Committee
sill do it's utmost to elect a Republ-
can, and the Democratic Administration
will try to swing the state into the
Bourbon column.
In the field for the Republican NOM
ination for Governor are William D.
! Stephens, the incumbent, who sue
oeeded Hiram Johnson, upon his cleo
tion to the United States Senate; J. o.
/ Hayes, newspaper editor and owner
and brother Of Representative Hayes,
of San Jose; Friend w. Richardson,
State Treasurer; District Attorney
Charles NJ. Fickert, of San Francisco,
and Mayor James Rolph, jr., of San
Francisco. With so many candidates
political wiseacres are />forecasting the
nomination of Governor Stephens, who
is a Republican of the Progressive
type.
Much local interest is taken in the
attitude of United States Senator
Hiram johnson toward the unity of
the two wings of the Republican party.
He was the biggest factor in the sep
aration and fought the regulars to a
xtandstill winning at every turn.
Whether he will adopt the Hays pro-
gramme remains to be seen, but it is
probable candidate for the Presidency,
ii would appear that he could no moth

National Leaders Deeply In

Especial Correspondence


LOS ANGELES, April 27-As result
Of the visit to California last week of
Will H. Hays, chairman of the Re
publican National Committee, the
whole political complexion of the
Golden State is changed. He succeeded
in bringing together the two wings Of
the Republican party, which had been
separated since the memorable split
of 1910.
The inevitable effect of this uniica-
tion of the elements which fought
each other most bitterly through the
period of their divorce is most en-
couraging to the national committee
as we'll as Republican leaders of the
state. In effecting the. agreement
former Progressivcs and the rank
standpatters submitted to Mr.. Hays's
proposition that they get unitedly be-
hind the Republican nominee, whether
he be from the group of erstwhile Pro-
gressives or regulars.
1t was the refusal Of the warning ele-
ments to harmonize that gave Presi-
dent Wilson a second term. California
standpatters voted to man and
woman for Charles E. Hughes, but
enough Progressives-support Mr.. Will
son to give him the electoral vote of
California.
United Party Sure to Win
"The Great Register" shows 'Califor-
MIA to be overwhelmingly Republican,.
With the party united the candidate of
any other party has not the slightest
chance. Because of this truism, Ma
tioral Chairman Hays had reason to
express the deepest qualification over
that which he accomplished in the
Stste.

In this issue is published a
communication from Hon. H. F.
Byrd, Senator from this district.
His opposition to the unnecessary
increase of State taxes will meet
the hearty approval of his con-
stituents in this section. 1t is
true that the income of the state
has been greatly increased with
in a few years. but it is increas
ed to no small extent by placing
additional burdens upon the peo-
pie. The indirect taxes are not
so apparent, but are equally bur-
densome, while the United States
taxes are heavy and will con-
tinue to be during the war.
Every one is expected to make
sacrifices and our people are
willing to make them, but DOM
add additional burdens by un
necessary large appropriations.
Mr.. Byrd's position upon this
question should, and doubles:
will, be heartily endorsed by ouI
people.

partment, at Memphis last week
for the purpose of discussing and
devising some plan of meeting
the acute labor shortage that
faces the farmers of the cotton
and tobacco sections.
