IF gliders without motive power

Fairy Story Near

Chicago, Aug. 21.-The end of the
fairy story was near today for Robert

he would live happily ever after"
Ten years ago Robert was left on
a door step in Joliet, Ills. He was
turned over to the st. Vincents Or

placed in the custody of Mrs. Ethel
Hand.
Mrs. Hand divorced her husband
and went to San Francisco where the

ed and made heir to their $4,000
A year ago st. Vincents located
him and brought him back to Chi
cago, alleging that the adoption was
illegal as Mrs. Hand had no right
to take the boy from Illinois.
A few weeks later the boys really,
truly parents found him and took
him east.
The end of the story was written
yesterday when Judge Timothy Hur.
ley denied writ of habeas corpus
instituted by Mrs. Ross.
Today Robert was on his way
home again. Identity of the real par.

This Is one of the main facts un.

Rail executives realize that 10 win
the present controversy they must
ward off a serious breakdown in
transportation. A big blow was
dealt to their efforts to keep the
crippled systems in operation with
strikebreakers when the Interstate

nounced that the way by which
agents of the commission can order

The report, which the Interstate

congress in response to "a senate
resolution will show more than half
of the 10000 locomotives of the
country are now defective due to the
