BALTIMORE, March 12.--Appearing

husband, Perley Spiker, who was the
father Of the child made the object Of
the proceedings, Mrs. Cora Spiker asked
and obtained from Judge Stanton the
legal adoption by herself and husband
of Alfred Ray Spiker, the infant Off
spring of her husband and Emily
Knowles (now Emily Spiker), which
was born in England in the closing ne
riod of the war. The parties to the
proceedings, and who were all pres
ent, were Mr.. and Mrs. Spiker, young
Guy Spiker, who recently married Miss
Knowles, and the former English girl.
The three principals, Perley Spiker,
his wife and the mother of the child,
during the time that Attorney Benja-
min F. Freeny explained to the court
the circumstances that led to the fill
ing of the, adoption petition, were
grouped in front of the judges bench,
Spiker standing between the two wom-
en-. The lawyer told of the dual rela-
tionship which the petitioner, Perley
Spiker,' had sustained to the women
as husband Of the one and the war
time sweetheart of the other.
He likewise dwelt upon the sequel
OF the last-named relationship, which it
was the object of the proceedings in
some measure to offset. Both Spiker
and his wife, Mr.. Freeny said wero
anxious to assume the care and cduca-
tion Of the child, chiefly because they
believed the mother was not so situ-
ated financially as to be able to do
this.

CROSSING
BAD ONE
HE SAYS

Frank stevens, who Is watchlnau at
the Holman street crossing takes oN-
coptions TO the reference which was
made in The Times yesterday 70 con-
ditions said TO prevail at the Calumet
avenue crossing over the Michigan
Central tracks.
Stevens helps take care ct the worst
street crossing in Indiana. Besides
having traffic coming from five direc-
uons over the street ne must keep his
eye on railroads over which trains OF
sly companies pass. The fact that ac-
cidents are few at this crossing indl-
Gates that Stevens knows what he is
talking about when he says that tho
public IS generally at fault when diff
ferenees arise between motorists and
pedestrians and the watchmen.
Just last night" says Mr. Stevens.
"a man paid no attention to my signal.
He came right on and before could
get out Of his way his machine knock
ed the lantern from my hand Only a
couple Of days ago I tried to flag down
q street car. but the motorman would
rot stop. The car was full Of pas
sengers' and don't believe the pilot
OF the engine was 25 feet away when
the rear OF the car cleared the track. p
Mr.. stevens realizes. like many other
watchmen. that the public refuses to
look out for itself. but leaves Il en-
t.rely to the watchmen and then pays
no attention to him.
When reminded Of the city ordinance
passed recently which provides a fine
for any person crossing tracks after
the watchman displays his signal. he
replied that at such times a watchman
generally has all he can do TO dodge
81 car which - violating the law and
h has no chance TO get the number of
:he speeding machine.
No arrest has ever been made FOR
violating this ordinance.
