BOY 5 CUSTODY
SPLIT BETWEEN
TWO PARENTS
Attorney Snow to Have Son
During Vacation, Mother
During School Term.

Rules as to treatment of chill
dren whose parents are torn
asunder by domestic troubles and
litigation were laid down today
by Chief Justice Smyth of the
Court Of Appeals in an opinion
modifying the order of the lower
court with regard TO the custody
of the eight-year-old boy of
Chester A. Snow. the aged and
wealthy patent attorney, and his
wife. Mrs. Adds H. Snow.
Custody Divided.
The District Supreme Court, act
ing upon applications OF the fathCr
and the mother of the child, at Nari-
Gus times awarded its custody u the
father and the mother under csrtain
conditions,
An appeal was taken from an or
der of the lower court of July 20,
1921, giving the mother the custody
of the child, with the father having
the privilege OF visiting the boy on
Sundays between the hours OF $3.50
a. m. ana I y. III.
In modifying this order, Chief Jus
tice Smyth said:
The child schooling is an inpor.
tant matter and should not be inter.
fered with, II possible, yet nothing
should be done which would have 9
tendency TO unnecessarily ostranRe
the child from either of its parents CT
the parents from the child.
Care must be taken that the cnlld
IL not tossed about like a bail be
tween the contesting parties. Con
seriousness on its part that a struggle
with its inevitable bitterness takes
place at short intervals between its
parents must be detrimental to the
building of the childs character
Divided Between Parents.
The court ordered that Mrs. Snow
should have the uninterrupted Gus
tody OF the child during the public
school year In order to insure edu'
cational continuity and that the
father should have possession OF the
boy during vacation period. Father
and mother are given TIE privilege
to visit their child when II Is In each
others custody.
The court concluded by saying:
I'VE think II proper q add that
hereafter this court viii, and the
lower court, in our judgment. should
look with disfavor upon any effor,
TO change this order until the child
has reached the age OF twelve, cx

Gathering of Citizens.
Voices Opposition to
New Fiscal Scheme

Residents and taxpayers of Wash.
ington, gathered at a mass meeting
in the Central High School yester.
day, lodged vigorous protests against
the proposed tax plan. which will
revolutionize Washington's taxa.
ton system.
The right of the Senate and House
conferees to draw up such a plan
was attacked by speakers, and the
disastrous results were pointed out.
Speakers declared that the man OF
moderate means will bear the br.unt
OF increased taxation.
Rents will go up, food will increase
and every other necessity Of life will
jump, IL was declared.
Arthur f. Seymour, secretary of
the Chamber OF Commerce, who
spoke, said that no one could fore
see the result OF the plan to pur the
District on a cash basis.
Suppose we do get together some
sixteen millions Of dollars in five
years" he said, and Congress has
changed, with a new party in
power.
1.-THE new Congress could, and
there Is no law which guarantees
they won't, say to the District: Look
here, this towns got millions OF dol
lars OF cash on hands. Let's cut out
the 60-40 and make IL 1890, the
town can easily stand for it."
Others who spoke yesterday were
Mrs. Mary Wright Johnson, Mrs.
John A. Logan, Thomas Bradley.
and Judge William Henry White.
Charles A. Baker, president of the
Federation of Citizens Association,
presided at Yesterdays meeting.
