Judge Cole
FoLlowed LalU

Judge Franklin j. Cole has been un-
Justly criticised by some for his deci-
sion in the johnson case yesterday,
whereas under the clever attempt laid

Judge could not have acted otherwise.
tabc2s Corpus proceedings, are tech
a!cal in nature and the decree of the
Ayis ona court could not be vacated by
suct proceeding. Judge Cole was
forced to give the child to the mother
II law
Judge Cole felt very deeply con-
cerned this morning regarding the af-
fair and was one of the first to offer
his aid and advice to the grief stricken
Il other.
He believes that there is an excel
lent chance to regain custody of the
child and said:
They may bring action to set aside
the decree in Arizona, but they will
have to go there and the mother will
no doubt be given the custody of the
child. Even in this court the case may
be brought up on its own merits"
On learning of the situation this
morning NJ. w. Conkling, of the law
inn OF Conkllng q Brown, offered his
services free of cost to restore the
child to its mother Within an hour
an equitable suit to set aside the adop-
ton proceedings on the ground of
fraud and undue influence was begun.
Judge Cole promptly signed the or
der forbidding the adopted parents
from taking the child out of the coun-
ty and requiring that pending trial
the child should be turned over to
Sheriff Charlie Applestill.
Mr. Conkling stated to Press rep
resentative that "while the action OF
the court in the habeas corpus pro
ceedings was Correct, we have Mo
doubt that in the suit we have brough;
the court has jurisdiction and will fin
ely award the child to it's natural
mother"

BUSINESS REVIVAL
SEEN IN GERMANY
By CARL D. GROAT
United Press Staff Correspondent

(Unlted Press Staff Correspondent
BERLIN, Oct. 15.-Despite the
slumping tendency in German industry
at this time, it is remarkable that
some important branches are showing
signs of great improvement.
Connections between shipyards and
coal and iron works are being made in
increasing numbers. The shipyards
are making feverish efforts to renew
Germany's commerce fleet.
Such reconstruction is given an i'm.
petus by the recent agreements be-
tween the Hamburg Amerika line and
he American Ship and Commerce
corporation. and between the Nor
deutscher Lloyd line and the U. s.
mail steamship company. Admiral
Benson of the U. S. shipping board
has described these agreements as
strictly business deals which will help
put the American shipping business on
strong footing.
Here IN Germany, one regards them
aG affording a field for activity for
the old German companies and a
strating point for quicker rebuild
ing of the German fleet than one could
have expected under the Versailles
treaty conditions.
The German realizes that the Amer,
lean agreement is not made out OF
friendship for Germany, and he feels
that there is in it clever move to
assure Americas standing on the seas
as against English competition. And
England manifestly is viewing the ar
rangement with angry feelings of the
acknowledgements" (the too latS
arrived) and, it is possible that Eng
land will strive, perhaps successfully
to make other connections with Ger
many for a cooperation in the ship
ping line.

In the meantime a complaint was
drawn up by Attorney Simon and
Conkling, representing Mrs. johnson.
and filed with the county clerk on the
grounds that the grandmother was not
q fit and proper person to have the
custody of the child The guardians
were given 10 days to answer.
JUDGE is EXONERATED
Ross T. Hickcox, attorney for the
plaintiff, in the case brought to trial
yesterday said, "On the evidence in
troduced yesterday there was no other
decision that Judge Cole could have
made. According to the story told
by Mr.. Walsh the child was legally
adopted by the grandmother and
turned over by Mrs. johnson. 1t was
also explained to me that the decree,
signed by Mrs. Johnson, waving all
rights to the child, was drawn in the
office of her attorney in Phoenix,
Arizona. From all the evidence in
troduced the grandmother has the leg
al right to the girl.
81 have also been told Mrs. Johnson
was fully aware of the fact that she
was giving up forever her right to
the baby, and under those conditions
Judge Cole was fully justified in max
ing the decision.
"Whatever our personal sentiments
may be, and fully aware of the fact
a mother is the rightful guardian of
her child, we cannot overstep the
bounds of our laws thus making them
worthless
Judge Cole was reluctant about
statement for publication. He
suggested number of plans that
might be carried out by the mother to
regain the possession of her baby,
and stated that he was of the opinion
that sooner or later and by the proper
court proceedings the daughter would
be returned to it's mother
He said, 81 understand a new COM
plaint has been filed by Mr. Simon and
Mr.. Conkling and probably they can
bring out points in the new trial that
will prove the mothers possession. l
