TRIES To
GET DAUGHTER
Pictured as Wealthy Man
When he Attempts Court
Proceedings

An article appearing In q NSr York
paper this morning stated Wilfred r.
Hess. a contractor, living at SIT Mad
ison avenue, had obtained a writ OF
habeas corpus from Justice Whitaker
yesterday for the production of his
adopted daughter Doris in court.
The child who s. ri three years old.
has been placed in the care of a wo-
man by the New York Nursery and
Child's Hospital.
Hess is pictured as being a wealthy
contractor of this city, with a nurse
and lots of toys to make the little girl
happy. The little girl came into his
life when b was four months old and
he claims he provided a comfortable
home for her and a nurse to safeguard
her.
As he was required to leave Perth
Amboy, Mr.. Hess said he placed Doris
with a Mrs. Rautenbusch, a neighbor,
and returning recently learned the
girl had been taken away by a Mrs.
Gould, acting for the society.
Mr.. Hess does live In this city, but
he Is not wealthy as pictured, nor is
there a nurse and toys awaiting the
girl. Hess at the present time Is re-
siding at SIT Madison avenue, which
is the Salvation Army headquarters.
where he has a room. He was not in
today when an EVENING NEWS le-
Cdlleu 10 see MIN.
The case dates back to the summer
Of 1917, when Hess was residing in
AT this time he had the
girl with him AND also a housekeep-
err. The housekeeper left the employ
of Hess and went with another fam
lily. Soon after Hess reported to the
police that Doris had been kidnapped
by the housekeeper. About this time
a murder of a child had taken place
In New York City and Hess claimed
that he suspected that the house,
had killed the child.
The police at once started to work
on the cas- and hunted high and low
for the child. Finally after many
of hunting with no results,
Hess was cornered by them and ad-
that the child had been taken
to South Amboy by him, and that the
story was a fake.
Following this the Children's So
of Staten Island took the child
a time, the cas- was brought to
and the child taken from Hess
and placed in a home.

The second OF the series OF subscriptions

program, compelling features of which
were the variety and scope OF the orches-

audience. Novelty was lent to the event by
the playing OF Wagner numbers. released
from the ban under which they have lain
with American audiences for the last year

applause with which the prelude to "Lohen.

SUFFRAGIST THANKS
JUDGE FOR SENTENCE
Miss WinsOr Writes That He
Proved Injustice" of Court
He Rules

Miss Ellen Winsor, of Hayerford. a suf
frsge worker. who recently served a Jail
term at Washington for suffrage activities
there, has sent the following letter to Judge
McMahon, Of the District of Columbia Court:
"Sir--When I looked you in the face on
January Il, when you sentenced me TO five
days in the Washington Jail, wondered how
servant of the law could find it compat
BILE with his conscience to send American
women TO prison for asking for freedom.
After I entered the jail l marveled that
you could sentence any human being to that
pesthole.
81 am one of the board of managers OF one
of the largest reformatores in the East,
and my work with that institution has given
me knowledge of how prison should be
managed.
DO YOU know that the women's division
of the Jail is a hotbed for mental, moral and
physical disease of all kinds?
DO you know that the air is foul? that
the prison Is filthy? that the inmates are
never taken out for exercise? that at night
the whole place is alive with rats? that the
women and girls, too, are allowed to smoke
cigars and cigarettes? that the bedbugs are
only equaled by the cockroaches, spiders and
body lice?
These evils are serious enough. but the
worst feature is the utter lack of any edu-
cational work or training of any kind to At
the inmates for their return TO life in the
outside world In fact, the effect Is quite
opposite Those who enter that Jail no mat
| ter what their crime, must leave 1t with d
lowered standard of health and morals.
| 81 thank you, however, for the sentence
| YOU gave me. 1t has opened my eyes wider
| TO the Injustice and the lack of responsibit,
| of the courts; and, above all, it was my frs
victory for suffrage"
| Miss Winsor is the daughter of James n

Of the proposed amendment, but

of the people on many phases Of

the amendment and as a result
the people were not given an OPP

"The measure was lost not
because Of the opposition Of the
