Two Scenes.

The scene is in France, before the
revolution. A carriage of the nobility
dashes along the narrow street
People scatter frantically before the
too slow. 1t stumbles. A polished
hoof strikes 1t. An iron-shod wheel
crushes life from it. The marquis
flips a gold coin at the agonized
mother. THAT to pay for your brat"
and dashes on.
The scene is in Portland. An auto
mobile moves powerfully along the
street. 1t is heavier, more beautiful
in design and more luxurious than
any carriage Of the pre-revolutionary
France. 1t arrives at an intersection
crowded with people. They scatter
vance. But the steps of little child
are laggard. Its little feet are slow.
Only by the frenzied tug of a mothers
hand is it pulled from before the
ponderous wheels. The child cries
noisily. The motorist moves on with
an imprecation against people so
id SLOW"

Halts Court Action Against Jersey
 City Couple

Jersey City, Oct. 6.-Efforts to con- vince Mir and Mrs. Edward Rich, 52 Dwight street, Jersey City, that they are the parents of the baby girl whom they have refused to accept, will be made by Mayor Hague. This was learned yesterday when the mayor halted criminal proceedings brought against the young couple by Poor master Murray, who charges them with abandonment and assertion.
 The baby, Dorathy Helen. was born in the Bergen Sanitarium. Mrs. Rich maintains that hospital attendants told her she was the mother of boy. This had been her wish. Her baby was taken away and brought to her the next day. A week later she was told she was the mother of a girl.
 When Mrs. Rich appeared before Acting Judge Daniel O'Regan in the first Criminal Court yesterday she showed the effects of the ordeal she went through Wednesday when she at first started to take the baby in

her arms and then burst into tears and reiterated that 1t was not hers, The couple was accompanied by their attorney, Charles Simpson.
 Judge ORegan allowed MT, and Mrs. Rich to depart without bail be- cause Of communication from the mayor in which he informed the court he was opposed to criminal action because 1t might reflect upon the child In after life.
 The mayor said he had been in- vestigating and believed he had facts which would convince the parents the child was theirs. He asked that the court proceedings be held up until after a conference In his office Mon- day. Those expected to attend are Mir. and Mrs. Rich, their attorney Poormaster Murray and physicians from the sanitarium,
 Just what evidence will be used She mayor did not reveal
