ADOPTED CHILD
FORCED TO LOSE
$4,000 LEGACY

CHICAGO, Aug. 21.-The end Of the
fairy story was near today for Robert
William E. Ross with the promise that
he would live happily ever after
Ten years ago Robert was left on a
doorstep in Joliet, Ill. He was turned
over to the st. Vincent's Orphanage
here. For time he was placed in the
custody Of Mrs. Ethel Hand.
Mrs. Hand divorced her husband and
went to San Francisco, where the waif
was turned over to Police Captain
William Ross and his wife.
The chubby boy won the hearts of
the couple and he was legally adopted
and made heir to their $4,000 estate.
A year ago st. Vincent 8 located him
and brought him back to Chicago, al
leging that the adoption was illegal as
Mrs. Hand had no right to take the
boy from Illinois.
A few weeks later the boy s Greatly,
truly parents found him and took
him east.
The end Of the story was written
yesterday when Judge Timothy Hurley
denied a writ Of habeas corpus insti-
tuted by Mrs. Ross.
Today Robert was on his way home
again. Identity of the real parents
was withheld at the orphanage.

AnnaDelle Nettleton and Harrison ii.

this afternoon, and obtained marriage
license from County Clerk NJ. S. Cook.
Wishing to finish the job and surprise
their friends by returning married, the
couple asked the name of magistrate,
and Mr.. Cook recommended Judge May
field as doing pretty good work in that
particular line.
The couple then sought the judge,
but he could not be found. They en-

factotum at the county court house, who
anchored the couple in the superior
court and set out in search of the
judge. Up and down Main street he

it seemed the whole town was trying to
help the young couple get married and
Judge Mayfield was in more demand

Powerful groups in both houses were

the measure should be based on the

A republican faction in the senate
was lining up behind the American

the house, in contrast with foreign
valuation as approved by the majori-

country's principal concern is peace
and the securities of peace, President
Harding declared today in an address
to 1000 citizen soldiers he reviewed on
the "broad ellipse" back Of the White
House.
"There is no thought of armed war
fare and no decision to carry on an
armed campaign in any direction, -
Harding said, explaining the effort of
the government to induce young men of
the country to enter soldier training
camps.
cit is rather an interesting thing
that the ills of the nervous and menta
being can be cured by development OF
the physical being
After vomiting out that last year
there were IL, 900 men in the citizen
training camps and that this year the
number was increased $4,000, the pres
ident said:
"If could have my wish this
number would increase until more than
100000 were annually studying and
preparing for armed service; not that
we ever expect them to be called upon
for service, but solely for additional de-
fense and the preservation of the gov
ernment under which we all live.

Curtis Announces
Mot0rless Plane
United Pres. Leased wire

NEW YORK, Aug. 21.-An American
motorless airplane capable of rising and
alighting upon the water, has been com
pleted and will shortly be put through,
series of tests which, it successful,
will far outdo anything in the gliding
line where the fliers start from noun
tain tops, Glenn Curtis, pioneer in the
FLYING game, said today in an exclusive
interview.
Praising German achievements at
Gersfield, where an airman remained
aloft two hours and 10 seconds in a
motorless plane, Curtis said he expect
ed shortly to demonstrate a glider ia
which the pilot literally lifted him
self by the bootstraps' from the sur
face Of the sea, instead of starting
down a mountain side.
"Motorless flight, as demonstrated in
gliding tests in the Rhine valley is, in
my opinion, not only an interesting but
a most useful development in the realm
of aviation,o Curtis said.
"But, while this is mighty good
sport, the real test comes when man
tries to get his plane, without any me-
chanical motive power, up off level
stretch such as the surface of the sea.
"If gliders, without motive power
can remain aloft two hours on rising
current upon the mOuntain-side, it en-
courages us to believe we may yet learn
to soar like the albatrosss over the
ocean
"It is this kind Of soaring flight in
which am particularly interested, hav-
ing just completed motorless plane to
start from and alight upon the water.
'sThe air line Of progress, which may
be advanced as a result of glider prac-
tice, is the development of a low power
ed and efficient airplane in which the
motive power may be an engine of five
or 10 horsepower, minimizing cost of
planes and popularizing aviation in
general.

LOS ANGELES, Aug. 21.-Cases of
former Grand Goblin William ). Co

must go to the jury with those of 30
other alleged Klansmen, Judge House
ruled today.
"While the cases against these two
defendants are very meager," said
Judge Houser, 81 feel that develop
ments which would implicate them may
arise before the trial is over,
The court denied the motion to dis
miss the eases against the two men,
indicating that the action should not
be construed as pointing either to their
guilt or innocence.
The defense then moved dismissal OF
the case against j. G. Baum, another of
the defendants. The motion was vio-
lently opposed by the state.

MUST WORK FOR SOMEBODY.

Attorney General Hopkins, of Kan
sas, undoubtedly has the right idea
when he declares that strikers cannot
remain idle, and be supported by chari
ty of outside contributions, without
laying themselves liable to arrest for
vagrancy
He is demanding that the towns in
the strike area enact stringent ordi-
nances to meet this intolerable situ-
alton. The men cannot be compelled
to stay in the mines, but they can be
prevented from interfering with others
who want to labor and if they refuse
to work for themselves, the attorney
general believes they should be re-
quired to work for the communities
in which they reside.
1t is difficult to evade the logic of
General Hopkins contention. 1t is
grossly un-American that voluntary
idlers should be supported in their
idleness, while there is work that
should be done. Kansas City Journal
