MODERN ENOCH ARDEN CASE
IS REVEALED IN BALTIMORE
Mother Charged With DESERVING Child
When First Husband, Whom She Thought
Killed in France, Appears.

ing the death" Of her first husband,
Mrs. weaver resolved to find happi-
ness in the companionship of her
child and her second husband. Last
summer the medical unit with which
Weaver had embarked returned and
few days later Weaver came to his
home unannounced. When Mrs
weaver produced the kilograms from
the War Department, she said, her
husband relented and readily forgave
her.
Mrs. Weaver steadfastly refuses 10
tell who the man was whom she
married under the mistaken impress
sion that her husband had met with
death. Three months ago she came
to this city and entered Johns Hop
kins Hospital. where her baby was
born. Mrs. Weaver feared to return
to her husbands home with the child,
she said.
Decided to Leave Baby.
II had no one to turn to for advice
and in despair thought that 1 would
leave the baby in the station, where
some one would take it and care for
it," she said today.
Then, after laid it down on the
bench, ! just couldn't leave. couldn't
desert the baby. and I stayed nearby
child"
Mrs. Weaver was only a few yards
from the baby when men and women
notified Patrolman Guntrum of the
central district that a founding was
in the waiting room.
Upon condition that Weaver be
notified of his wife's predicament,
Magistrate Johannsen dismissed the
case. Mrs. Weaver and the baby were
taken in charge by a deaconess from
the Lutheran Inner Mission Home

CARTER GLASS ENTERS
h SENATE TOMORROW
g. .,
With No Vacancies, Democrats
May Hold Meeting to
- Select q Leader.

+ Carter Glass, appointed senator
from Virginia to succeed the late
Senator Martin, is expected to take
his seat in the Senate tomorrow. 1t
was reported last night that his res
igation as Secretary of the Treasury
would take effect at noon tomorrow.
The nomination of his successor, Sec
retary Houston, was confirmed by the
Senate yesterday.
With the seating of Mr.. Glass there
will be no vacancies on the demo-
cratic side Of the chamber, and it is
believed an effort III be made to
have a meeting OF the democratic
senators for the purpose Of electing
a leader as soon as Senator Hitchcock
Of Nebraska, acting leader since the
death of Senator Martin, returns to
Washington.
Another Tie In Possible.
At the last democratic caucus SEN
ator Hitchcock and Senator Under
wood of Alabama were tied in the
vote for leader. Mr.. Glass did not
vote, and Senator Johnson of South
Dakota was away and impaired. Mr..
Glass Is understood to favor the elec-
ton of Senator Underwood and Sem
ator Johnson is supporting Senator
Hitchcock. With both present there
would still be a tie. Senator Hoke
hold the deciding vote, as he did at
the last caucus. Then he declined
to vote. So far as is known. there
have been no breaks in the forces
supporting the two candidates.
1t was understood when the caucus
adjourned January is that it would
meet again on the joint call of Sem
ators Hitchcock and Underwood to
vote on the leadership. Senator
Hitchcock left Washington Friday to
go to Nebraska He is expected to
return by Thursday.
Senator Hitchcock, as acting demo-
cratic leader. has moved into the Of
fees in the Capitol building assigned
to the minority leader and formerly
occupied by the late Senator Martin.
| The move was made after the demo-
cratic caucus failed to elect leader.
Apparently he believes that he will
eventually be chosen leader, or that
the present status will continue for
some time to come.
