Feinbloo1ns Want TO
Keep Bobby for Summer
Judge Asked to Permit Baby to
Stay at Present Home Until
the Case Is Decided

The Appellate Division yesterday re-
served decision on the application Of
John Feinbloom, broker, and his
wife, for a stay permitting Bobby
Ashe,. the ash can waif, to remain in
their custody until October. Justice
Tierney of the Supreme Court ordered
the Feinblooms to return the child to
the New York Nursery and Child's
Hospital. The appeal cannot be de-
termined before the fall and they want
to retain the baby until then. A new
line OF argument was presented yester-
day by the Commissioner of Charities
of Westchester County, Heretofore it
was argued that the Ashe baby was
baptized a Catholic and ought not to
be brought up by the Feinblooms, who
are Christian Scientists. The new
argument was that Mrs. Feinbloom in
1894 married De Royce Patrick, who
obtained a divorce from her in North
Dakota. The Commissioner of Char
tiles, through his attorney, said there
was no evidence of a valid divorce
the only information received by Mrs.
Feinbloom being word from Patrick
through third person.
It also was said a search of the
Board of Health statistics failed to
reveal any record Of the Finblooms
marriage.

Post Remedy Advised

PASSAIC, N. j., June 13.-Miss Alma
Smith, principal of Public School 2.
who started an investigation to deter
mine why so many of her pupils came
to school apparently intoxicated, has
reported to the Board of Health that
the condition of the youngsters has not
been due to liquor, but to common
anodyne and stimulant known to drug
gists as "Hoffman's drops"
James Donnelly, Overseer of the
Poor said yesterday the use of this
remedy, which is composed of seven
parts ether to three parts alcohol, is
extremely common among the poorer
classes in the city who cannot obtain
liquor at its present price. Women
who are forced to support idle hus-
bands are specially, addicted to it, he
said.
"Give US the whipping post in New
Jersey and We'll cure tho lazy husband
problem and cut down the sale of this
drug" he asserted.

hlbit the sale of "Hoffman's drops" ex-
cept by prescription.
