One result of the enormously ln- creased amount of government bust. ness since war was declared has been the impoSsiblllty of getting suitable buildings In which to house the new bureaus and sections of bureaus of the war and other departments. The con sequence is that these bureaus are scattered all over town. in all sorts of buildings. and in the most unlikely lo- entities. The structures that have been communicated range from warehouses of musty brick to stone apartment houses with tiled floors and carved panellng on the walls. All are filled with clerks The agricultural depart ment In Washington Is housed in 35 different buildings. and the nuvber occupied by war department divisions Is far in excess of that number.

BACK AGAIN
Mary Jennette Ellis, who Was Sent
to st. JOseph's Orphanage Wed.
nesday, Came Back Yesterday.

One of the most distressing cases
that has come under the supervision
of the Aims Committee of the City
Council for many years is that of the
Ellis family of Lee street, and the
public may as well know some of the
facts in the case.
The family consists of the aged
mother of Mrs. Mary Ellis, Mrs.
Brown, who is almost blind and an
invalid, the mother, Mrs. Mary Ellis,
wife of John Ellis, and the thirteen
year-old daughter, Mary Jennette FL
lis. They reside in Lee street, and
they have been care on the city for
some time, as the mother cannot leave
her aged parent and the daughter Is
too young to be of any material as
sistanee. For the betterment of their
condition, and to allow the girl to get
a proper education, the Aims Commit
teee has been endeavoring to induce
the three to take home in the city
almshQuse, but Mrs. Ellis has stoutly
and stubborniy refused all efforts Of
the committee, and thus they are daily
being forced to the extreme end of
bitter poverty.
Wednesday morning the mother and
child were hailed into Judge Purnell's
Juvenile Court, and after hearing
numerous testimony, the Judge order
ed the girl taken from the mother, and
she was sent by her guardian, Mr. w.
T. Cummins, in care of Miss Hughes
of the City Mission, to st. Joseph Or
phanage at Newport to remain until
she became IS years of age. Through
the kindness of Mr.. Tim Buckley, the
child was given complete new out
At.
In some manner she got out of the
institution, went to Fort Thomas,
where she met a Maysville soldier,
who gave her money and she arrived
in this city yesterday afternoon.
Both the mother and child will be
taken before County Judge Purnell to-
day and jury will determine what is
to be done with this girl
To those who have had to handle
this case the worry has been great,
all trying to do the thing that was
absolutely the best for the three I'M
fortunates, but through Mrs. Ellis
obstinate ways were blocked and it is
pity there is not some law whereby
such cases could be disposed of with
out so much red tape.
Miss Hughes, Miss Casey and sew
eral other ladies of this city are to be
highly commended for the creditable
work they have done in this particu-
lar case and are doing in many other
cases in this city. /
