City Fathers Object To Use
OF Chambers For Hearing
Site of Hearing in Paternity
Case May Be Changed
Following Action.

The possibility of again changing
the trial site of the Herman Poulin
paternity case from the city council
chamber in the city hall to either the
city court room or the superior court
room in the county court house was
seen last night when a petition, re
questing the board of public works
to prohibit the use OF the council
chambers for any and all city court
trials. was presented by Councilman
at-large r. NJ. Hutchinson.
Seven other city fathers signed the
petition. John Olejniczak of the
sixth ward did not attend the meet
ling while Councilman Stephen
Guzcki of the second ward refused
TO atfix his signature.
The notoriety given the city by the
various news picture enterprises,
showing the throngs attempting to
force an entrance into the building
at yesterdays trial and failure on the
part of the board OF public works 10
properly consult the common cOun-
ell before permitting the use Of the
council chambers are said TO be the
reasons for the action taken by the
eight council members.
When interviewed last night. Pre-
siding Judge Chester L. DuCOmh
stated that he would willingly use
his own court room or the superior
court room if the board Of public
works orders him 10 cease using the
-.gr h ~
that he had first asked the board of
public works permission for the use
Of the council chamber and later
visited the mayor who sanctioned the
permission given by the board OF
public works.
GuZicki Against Petition.
Council Guzicki definitely stated
last night that he was absolutely
against the petition. "F1rst,' said
GIuzicki. the present city court
room is unhealthy and is not fit for
persons TO be huddled into, not only
during such a case where unusually
/ large numbers OF lawyers and wit
nesses are in attendance but even al
the usual city court cases. Second
I am in favor OF d separate building
to house the police court and police
station. 1 am not particularly anx-
ious about furnishing suitable quar-
ters for spectators"
The resolution submitted lasI
night reads as follows: Be il re
solved by the common council OF the
city Of South Bend that we hereby
object and protest against the use OF
the council chamber for the hearing
OF trials by the City court and that
we hereby request the board OF pub
lie works 70 prohibit the use Of such
) common council cham bers for am
and all trials by said City court, and
be it resolved that a copy Of this
resolution be presented by the city
clerk 10 the board OF public works
OF the said city"

morning al which time II is expected
definite action will be taken as "a

IN the arrest and trial.
Such was the picture drawn by
Mrs. Augusta Tiernan upon the
witness stand at the opening Of
the hearing of her charge against
Harry Poulin of being the father
of her babe.
In the pressing of the charge,
she writes her name as the first
mother in all the history of the
courts to cast a faint upon the
legitimacy of a child born in
wedlock.
The most trying part of the
ordeal comes today, when the
story told in such a wealth Of de-
tail is to be dissected and scru-
tinized by the cross examination OF
Atty. Parker, only begun when court
adjourned Cor the day.
All Details Revealed
Those who had expected a legal
battle over the new situation called
before the court were disappointed.
The case developed only a desire
to bring out not only the facts but
all related details, all the incidents
and all the acts of the two parties
concerned in the charge.
Few objections were made by the
defense to any of the questions of
Pros. Jellison and no attempt was
made 10 cut short the recital be
cause of the married status Of the
accuser.
When the court had finished for
the day, the story of Mrs. Herman
had been told. summed into the
last answer TO the final question.
Harry Poulin is the father of
my child"
As Mrs. Augusta Tiernan made
this direct accusation from the
witness stand on Monday afternoon,
she lifted her eyes, which had been
held down most steadfastly thru
out the ordeal Of barring tie secrets
of her soul, and looked at POUlin
That gaze was not returned He
shifted slightly in his seat. picked
at some imaginary dust specks on

For the first time. a mother has
heard her own story of shame
punctured by the feeble cries of
the babe. which she says is the re-
suit OF sin. and pursued her relent-

Miss Stimson received many inter

to be nurses, and sometimes from their
mothers One mother wrote from a
western farm to know all about the
school at Letterman. She wanted to
know if someone would meet her

on Sunday and if there would be some

les and how glad she is that her
daughter will have a profession in
which she is interested. The fine
thing about this case is that the girl
has aptitude as well as enthusiasm.
Right here with the mothers letter I
have a report from the chief nurse at
Letterman school in which she speaks
particularly of the good work this girl
is doing
I'VE are interested in every girl in
the school. 1t is partly because of the
advantages which would come to the

insurance or disability allowance from

is seen in railroad activity. When
the railroads are busy and are making

said, has the situation been so favor

good success, but the real demand for
such financing has not been fully felt
Yet. The roads still are a long way
from earning the annual 6 per cent
return for which the transportation
act provides. The preliminary fig
ures covering the operations of 1s9 OF
the class 1 railroads indicate that
their total net earnings for the whole
of 1921 will not exceed 3.2T per cent
on the investment. However, the
TRANSPORTATION industry is approach
ing the season when it will receive a

with revenue freight shows a good
increase from week to week. Orders
