Child OUTRAGE
May Direct State To Prosecute

Will Investigate Case Upon Re-
turn From Manhattan.
zWETzIGS AT LANSING FARM
Report Laid Before the Gov
ernOr by E. l.. Barrier.
Mother Made Child Submit to
Diseased Husband, Claim.

Governor Allen may take a hand in
the case of Hilda Zwetzig. seven year
old Wakeeney girl sent to the state in-
dustrial farm for diseased women. f.
L. Barrier. a member of the state
board of administration, laid the girls
case before the governor today. He
may direct criminal prosecutions
against the mother and stepfather. all
legged to have forced the girls shame.
The governor was not in Topeka
when facts regarding the Zwetzig case
were made public. He promised to-
day. however. to go thoroly into the
case when he returned from Manhat-
tan. where he speaks this evening.
1t is believed that Governor Allen
may direct both the county attorney OF
Trego county and the attorney gem
erals office to take steps toward the
criminal prosecution of Zwetzig and
his wife. Records in the case showed
that the seven year old girl submitted
to her stepfather when her mother
threatened to beat her.
Abused Child Several Times.
The abuse of the girl was practiced
numerous times, it is declared. with
the knowledge of the mother. The
mother, stepfather and girl have been
sent to the prison quarantine and de-
tention farms Mrs. Zwetzig has de-
cIared she and Zwetzig will continue
as husband and wife after their re-
lease.
This is a case in which. the state
should take the most drastic course"
Barrier declared today. ''Zwetzig and
his wife should be prosecuted Grim
inally for their crime against the girl.
That efforts may also be made to
send Hilda Zwetzig to the state or
| phans' home and to remove her en-
| tirely from the control and custody OF

state officials. Governor Allen dis
| played keen interests in the case and

he stated "All possible steps will be
taken to see that full justice is meted
I out to persons who can be guilty or
such a crime"
Under the state law the governor
may direct the county attorney or at
torney general to act in any case which
in his Judgment demands prosecution.
So far as records in the offices of the
state board of administration are con-
cerned, It is apparent that at present
at least, Zwetzig and his wife are
merely at the Lansing farm receiving
treatment for the dread disease which
was forcibly communicated to the 4
year-old girl

scribed as certainly one OF the finest
examples of Flemish fifteenth century

church of st. Pierre. The painting had
come down the centuries as the chief
adornment of the church. and disap-
peared after the German occupation.

tinued and finished by Jan van Eyck.

Over $500 designs were submitted. In
the winning designs the need for econ
omy in all cases was apparent.
In addition to these new model
homes, a demand has arisen for furni-
ture especially suitable for them, the
construction of which would be of the
simplest, combined with the required
rigidity and strength. A successful at
tempt to meet this need has been made
by the Shoreditch Technical institute
