dow. One Of the girls, about Thel-
mas age, laughed at something
her girl companion said. The girl
outside was happy. Thelma. her
face very grave. glanced about the
tiny resn. On one OF the walls
was placard. It saidi
Even Christ was not Satisfied
With Himself" Maybe Thelma
didn't read 1t. She didn't smile.
The third attempt to talk pri-
yately with the Perry girl was
made yesterday afterneen after
Judge Buahey had instructed an
hospital official to tolerate the vis-
itor's presence. The visitor asked
Judge Bushey II he might talk to
Theima alone.
Judges View Shown.
Il don't knew. Whatever the
sister says. II | had the say Of 1t
you wouldn't"
The sister said ne. Realizing
that the interview would be
worthless in the presence OF the
sister, 1t was suggested that 1t be
granted before Mrs. A. Laridon,
Of South Twelfth street, who
ehanced to be sitting In the walt
ing room. The request was re-
fused.
''It Is possible" the sister was
told. that Thelma might be more
willing to talk before this lady"
What she says can be said be-
fore me-" Sister Marie insisted.
No attempt was made to embar-
rass the girl. The reporter left.
No Chance, Saws Bushey.
Why is Thelma Perry allowed
to talk to no onef why is she
forced to work at the Deacones
hospital when she Is needed at
home7
Yesterday a newspaper man was
told unequivocally by JudgeBush-
ey that, under no circumstances
would he voluntarily permit the
girls to return home.
Il amt a going to release 'em, "
said Judge Bushey.
There's no chance, them"
mo. Not unless II comes
through court action"
The newspaper man left, for the
omniscience had spoken. And
there you are.

parents were not able properly to
care for the girls, and It was
necessary to make the payments
which would prove him wrong.
Judge Bushey had promised, ac-
cording to Mrs. e. Mowry. the
mother, that when the family was
again on Its feet financially the
girls might return.
Sometimes the making OF pay
mcnts was very difficult. Things
didn't 60 very well. All day long
and into the night the work went
on. Week followed week. Month
followed month. The work was
hard and frksome but there was
always q goal. For-when the lit
tle ranch was paid for and there
were clothes and food In the house
weren't the children coming
backf
Farm Now Owned.
That was months ago. Today
the payments are made. Mr.. and
Mrs. Mowry have the deed to their
small farm. They are as well cir
eumstanced. financially, as count
less other families. Mrs. Mowry,
who has been III. needs her daugh-
fers' help.
But Judge Bushey and Mrs.
Hattie jackson, OF the county
court, have refused to allow the
girls to return to their mother.
The Capital Journal was re-
quested by the mother to investi-
gate the unusual case. The Cap
ital Journal has accomplished but
little. Three attempts to talk
with the little girl where Ehe
would not be embarrassed by the
presence Of those who give her
orders met with absolute failure.
Girl Closely Guarded.
At the hospital an interview
was twice fatty refused. The
county court had said no. Chanc-
ting the possibility Of outraging
the law, an attempt was made To-
Uutfox the county court by inter-
viewing Thelma at school. A writ
ten permit was obtained from Geo.
w. Hug, superintendent Of
schools. II was taken to the Nc
Kinley Junior high, In which |
Thelma is enrolled.
Nobody may talk to Thelma
unless | am present." Mrs. l..
Clark, the principal, declared.
She was shown the permit from
Superintendent Hug. THAT makes
no difference" she explained.
Again the words county court"
were uttered with Waterlooish
finalIty.
Little Girl Is Silent.
''Will you treat what is said In
confidence?"
"That will depend entirely on
what is said" The interview was
abandoned temporarily, for Thel-
ma had indicated In an earlier
conversation that she did not wish
70 talk publicly.
II was about 4 o'clock in the
afternoon when the first attempt
was made to interview Thelma at
the hospital. v. Lyle McCroskey,
attorney for the Mowrys, and a
reporter were ushered into the
small. quiet office after Sister Ma

assurance from District Attorney
Carson that the irregularlty might

A further decline in marks was
the feature of the foreign exchange
market. This weakness originated
in London. as was the case yesteT-
day. and brought the opening quo

cents. At this level a considerable
volume Of selling took place, but
when the pressure eased and the
market for this currency became
quIeter the price recovered partial
~ 70 III cents. Reports were cir
culated meanwhile regarding the
failure OF an effort TO float q Ger

may not have basis. At all events.
the weakness is sufficiently ex-
planned by the nature Of Germany's

TREATED IN HOSPITAL

Thomas Martin, better known to
the public as "Specks'' and who,
during his service was considered
the best newsboy on the Evening
News staff, is again in the hospital,
battling the doctors with an undi-
agnosed malady. The following let
ter has been received from a young
admirer of "Specks," giving infor-
nation as to his case:
Editor Evening News:
l inquired and found out that
Thomas Martin has returned to St.
Michael's hospital in Newark. They
say that the little fellow has been
in six months and that this is the
fourth hospital. The doctors dent
seem to know what the trouble is
so l understand. but let us hope
that this time will fetch him home
well so we can see his freckles on the
corner when we get off the cars.
There are quite a few boys selling
papers, but they are not inclined to
trust like Specks and the reason we
miss him so down at the ball games
is when you ask for a drink you
don't get a big dipper full as you
would get from Specks Martin. /
once heard him say that water is
plentiful and salt is cheap. Let us
hope that Martin will be with US
again.
(Signed)
Respectfully.
A FRIEND OF SPECKS.
