Ibid YOU see that man pick up that
pocketbook?" exclaimed Negro No. Il

Helpless Horse Is
Dead Issue In
Takorna

There's a dead horse in the
heart of Takoma Park. Takoma
Park is mad.
All yesterday, under a hot
sun, the horses body reposed
supinely in the road in front
of the Masonic building, in the
very heart of Takoma Park,
Washington's largest and proud
est suburb.
All last night the horse lay
there, with a red lantern, in
lieu of the cross and candles,
at each end.
Yesterday morning before
dawn, Takoma Parkers de-
clare, a farmer on his way to
market drove through the town.
His horse fell and gave up
the ghost in front of the
Masonic building. The farmer
calmly embarrassed the corpse
and tied his wagon behind that
of a friend.
eve Immediately called the
pOllCe, utCldTeu II. l. JOncS,
of the Potomac Park Realty
Company, a Takoma resident.
Nothing was done. Yester-
day afternoon at 4 o'clock we
called the Tenth precinct. Moth
ing was done. Later we called
Major Sullivan. Nothing was
done. Last night the body was
still there. We hung out Ian
terms to mark it. All during
the night nothing was done.
This morning the horse was
still there. We held an indig-
nation meeting. Nothing was
done.
Nothing is done, except the
horse, and he is certainly done
to a fare-you-well. We de-
mand action"
The District dead animal
wagon was reported on its way

"a chocolate nut sundse." she an

And the soda Jerker quickly COM
piled;
For she was q well-dressed young
woman;
And her coupe stood imposingly out

Might she take II to her sweet little
darling.
Who outside in the coupe did wait?
Steaming and sweating I ordered a nut
suRdae;
Just then she returned the plate.
One quick. careless dip In the water.
And my sundae was made In the
very same plate.
The cooling cream ran down my chin;
I swear. the best sundae I ever ate.
I passed her car as ] went my way.
And saw the darling who ate from

Ye Gods: the sweet little thing was a

TAXI MAN .
SA YS He
!. GOT BABY.
War Veteran, He Asserts, Told
Him He Had Been Unable
to See Child.

Custody of Mary Scully, three
years old, alleged to have been
kidnapped by her father, was
sought in the District Supreme
Court today by the mother, Mrs.
Florence E. Scully, of Warren
ton, Va.
Father a War Veteran.
Albert F. Scully, the father, is a
world war veteran and Is said to be
q District meat inspector. Although
II Is believed he has the child here,
Inspector Clifford L. Grant, chief of
detectives, today said he can take no
action until a warrant charging the
kidnapping to Scully is received from
Warrenton.
According to George Gauthier. a
hacker. stationed at 1906 Pennsyl.
vania avenue northwest, he was hired
by Scully to drive him to jefferson.
ton, Culpeper county, Va, about 7
o'clock last Friday morning. Gauthier
said q child was taken, with no ap.
parent objections, from the home OF
Mrs. Rena Harris, aunt of Mrs.
Scully. The two men nd the child
returned to Washington the same
day.
Gauthier said that Scully declared
HIS wife had not allowed him to see
the child since their separation nine
months previously.
Mrs. Scully who, in her court pc
tition, asks permanent maintenance
and custody Of her daughter,
charges the child was taken away
while the former was at her sum-
mers home in Warrenton, where
Scully came on the pretext of visit
ing the baby. Friends of the hus-
band assisted him, the petitioner
declares.
End OF War Romance.
The alleged kidnapping is the cul.
mination of a war romance. The
Scullys were married in Washing
ton during the war after a brief
acquaintance and courtship.
The couple lived here, 1t is stated
In the petition, until Scully began to
drink frequently, resulting in the
separation last January. While un-
der. the influence of liquor, Mrs.
Scully charges, her husband abused
her and struck her. She also al
leges non-support.
Justice Hoehling issued a rule
against Scully, asking him to show
cause at once why he should not re-
turn the child to the mother and pay
alimony.
Warrenton authorities have ap-
parently taken no further action in
the case, which indicates that tiey
will not swear out a warrant against
Scully for the alleged kidnapping.
