Juvenile court had taken him into
custody.
1t all seemed queer and unnecessary
he thought, stlll 1t has been fun living
out with Mrs, w. s. Hyde, 1887 s. Or
leans street, for life out there held
Emily. Who As she-why the cutiest
little girl with big brown eyes and long
yellow curls, He always shared all Of
his candy and apples with Emily and
she did likewise, sharing hers with him.
He cried when he couldn't go back 10
her, but somehow he had found that
he couldn't do anything but just sit still
and wait.
1t seemed a long time, too, since that
day grandmother took him away from
Emily's In the huge automobile and
rode him down to the station. There
he and she climbed Into q chu-chu, but
a man came down and ordered him
out. Later, grandmother was rested
and charged with contempt Of court. !"
That was what Judge Galella said when
The news scimitar. (Memphis, Tenn.) 1907-1926, 1919-11-15

he ''splained' that grandmother had
no right to take him away. Monday
morning at $3.50 he will make his de-
cision.
And, oh, my-here was mama. Sob
bling, the mother rushed forth flirg-
ing herself to her knees and resting
her head upon her sons tiny shoulder.
Softly the kid shifted his body so as to
bear the weight and kindly patted the
crown OF her huge picture hat, Once
he oven used his handkerchief to wine
away q tear that crisis CROSSED his
mothers nostril. Still he spoke not at
all and the talk around him appeared
to make little or no Impression.

According to Judge Galella the con-

Owen Brainard, Noted
Engineer, Dies Suddenly
New York Public Library and
Yale Memorial Among His
Architectural Works

Owen Brainard, noted as an archi-
tectural civil engineer, died of heart
disease last night while visiting friends
at ID West Fifty-fourth Street.
AS a member of the firm of Carrere
& Hastings Mr.. Brainard created the

ing and various imposing bank and
business buildings in the United States

Burleson Again Loses
In 'Phone Rate Case
HARRISRURGH. April 2.-The con

HARRISBURGH, April 2.-The COM
monwealth of Pennsylvania won its
second round to-day in the injunction
proceedings to prevent Postmaster
General Burlesor, acting as the Fed
eral operating agent Of the Bell Tele-
phone Company, from raising telephone
rates in this state. Judge Kunkel, of
the Dauphin County Courts, handed
down an opinion in which he continues,
until final hearing has been held,
the preliminary injunction granted
liminary hearing.
The case involves the right of Fed
eral authorities to override state stat
utes in the matter of fixing PUBLIC
service rates. BY the opinion handed
down to-day the Bell company is re-
strained from putting into effect the
telephone schedules promulgated by
Mr.. Burleson and which the Bell com
pany was ordered to put into effect
in violation of the laws of Pennsyl-
vania with regard to change in rate
schedules.
Judge Kunkel said that "neither the
President nor the Postmaster General
was acting officially in changing the
rates and tolls, but that they acted
beyond the scope of their powers"
There was no attempt to deny the
power of the President to operate the
lines for war purposes, but Judge
kunkel said:
"The rates he charges others would
seem to have no real relation whatso-
ever to his use of the system for all
proper war purposes. Hence it would
appear that his attempt to change the
rates and enforce rates which are not
approved by the state authorities is
wholly outside his power"

Garrison Expected
To Make Concession
To B. r. T. Workers
Receiver Probably Will Re-
ply To-day to Demands of
New Union of Employees
for Increases i'm Wages

Lindley NJ, Garrison, receiver for
the B. R. T., said last night he had
not replied to demands of members of
the new union of the roads employees
for shorter hours and more pay.
II have been considering it care
fully and am still working on the
proposition. | may be able to reply
tonight or Tomorrow" he said. "There
will be no formal court proceedings.
All | propose to do at this time is to
reply to the communication l have re-
ceived."
1t is understood Mr. Garrison's re-
sponse probably will be in the nature
of compromise. He is expected to
tell the employees he is unable, in the
present financial condition of the
B. r. T., to acceed to all of their de-
mands.
Officials of the road said last night
they did not expect strike but were
making plans for any eventuality
The union asks for nine-hour day
at 60 cents an hour for platform men,
53 cents for blacksmiths and struct-
ural workers, 45 cents for shopmen and
time and a half for overtime.

Chaloner will be in New York only
