Couple Showers Kisses
On Judge and His Aids
Once Quarrelsome Pair Shows
Embarrassing Gratitude for
Return of Children

Anton Fonal and his wife. Madeline,
of 4276 Jerome Avenue, Woodhaven,
Queens, were delighted yesterday in
Children's Court, Jamaica, at Justice
Boyles decision to restore their four
children, taken from them several
weeks ago because of the constant
quarrels of the couple.
In his cxuberance Mr.. Fonal vaulted
over the judges desk, embraced jus
tice Boyle fervently and covered his
right hand with kisses. Not to be out
done, Mrs. Fonal darted around the
other end of his desk and began kiss
ing his left hand.
ooh. don't kiss me! Don't kiss mel"
cried Justice Boyle in smothcred tones.
His pleas were UNDECIDED, but he
managed at last to extricate himself
and fend off his ardent admirers The
once quarrelsome couple was not to be
foiIed, however. They kissed each
other, a woman probation officer, who
had burst into tears at the affecting
sight and several court attendants who
were grinning discrectly at the judges
embarrassment. Then they departed
arm in arm for the Brooklyn institu-
ton to which their children had been
committed.

1t was afternoon Of the day when
Johnny Chuck saved Peter Rabbits
stray baby from Black Pussy the Cat.
1t was late in the afternoon. Jolly,
round, red Mr. Sun was getting ready
to go to bed behind the Purple Hills.
He was still high enough in the blue,
blue sky to look down on the Green
Meadows and what he saw over near
the dear Old Briar-patch caused him
TO smile more broadly than ever. 1t
was party. Yes, sir, it was party.
1t was in a certain patch of sweet
clover just little way from the
edge of the dear Old Briar- patch.
Peter Rabbit was there. OF course.
Johnny Chuck was there. Of course.
Timid little Mrs. Peter was there, and
so was Polly Chuck. But what made
jolly, round, red Mr.. Sun smile was
the sight of five baby Rabbits and
Sour baby Chucks who also were
there. 1t was hard to say which we're
the cutest. the little Rabbits or the
little Chucks.
And such a good time as they were
havingl Every once in a while one Of
the baby Rabbit would kick up his
heels in the funniest way. Then an
other would do it. The baby Chucks
were not quite so lively, but they
were having just as good "A time in q
quieter way. And how all those babies
were enjoying that sweet clover!
On one side of the clover patch
Johnny Chuck was sitting up very
straight keeping watch. On the other
side Peter Rabbit was doing the same
thing. Polly Chuck and Mrs. Peter
were keeping watchful eyes on the
babies. If enc ventured too far it was
promptly brought back in hurry.
The Merry Little Breezes of Old
Mother West Wind were dancing
about among the little Rabbits and
Chucks. They tickled their noses with
sweet clover blossoms. In the eyes
of Mrs. Peter and Polly Chuck pride
and love glowed But not for an in
slant did either forget to be watch
full Between bites they kept sitting
up to make sure that Johnny and
Peter were on guard.
Pm so glad we have You and
Johnny for neighbors," said Mrs.
Peter to Polly Chuck.
Polly's eyes twinkled. 81 am glad
YOU are glad said she. 81 hope from

pcared to be quite relieved when her
leather Jewel case containing her gems
was whisked off to the Custom House
for examination and appraisal.
Three hours after the surrender
Peggy appeared at the Custom House
with counsel and detectives and smoked
cigarettes. as the expert appraisers
handled her pearls and brlliants. Now
and then William II. Williams and John
w. Roberts, of the special agents Of
flee, questioned her closely. and when
the session was adjourned plaque of
emeralds and diamonds worth $4,000
was seized as having been brought into

This did not disturb Peggy much, for
when the session closed she grasped
the hand Of ok Ray" John Roberts, the
young nemesis Of smugglers, and drew
him to her. Some one dared her to kiss
him. and Peggy taking the dare puck

ST. AUGUSTINE, Fla, May 12.-
Local representatives of the Chase Ma
tional Bank of New York City an
nounced to-day that John W. Varde
man, alias J. w. Hollis, under arrest in
Savannah, in connection with the Chase
bank theft, probably would be taken to
New York. Earlier plans were to re-
turn Vardeman to 81. Augustine, where
$4,000 worth Of the 100000 stolen
bonds were found in a safe deposit
box rented in the name Of J. w, Hollis.
Pinkerton detectives working on the
Chase National bond theft said yester-
day that they expected to locate to- day
one half Of the 100000 worth of bonds
uncovered. They referred to three
$4,000 certificates. The thirty 81 900
bonds which Mrs. Vardeman said were
taken from her at the point of pistol
in the Loew Building have not yet
been traced.
The three $4,000 bonds, it was said,
are expected to be found in New York.

that Arthur F. Chase, an employee of
the bank, placed in an inside coat
pocket while he was helping out the
overworked mailing clerks on busy
night will have been recovered. 1t was
also said that a condition was at
tached to the recovery of the three
bonds. namely, that immunity be
granted to Mrs. Vardeman. Whether
or not this immunity had been agreed
on could not be learned

was charged with suspicion of grand
larceny. Magistrate Corrigan, in the
Tombs Court, renewed the 100000 bail
and set the hearing for May 49,
The police have found no evidence
against Hrsch thus far other than the
statements contained in Chase's con-
fession. Chase's story is according to
the police, that Mrs. Vardeman went to
Hirsch a week before the bonds were
stolen and asked what he would be
willing to pay for Liberty bonds of
fered on "no questions asked" basis.
Hirsch, Chase's confession states, said
he would pay half the face value Two
days before the theft the woman called
on Hirsch again, and on the night they
were stolen she called third time,
when she had some bonds with her

explained, known as the New York Dia-

letter. proceeding to answer Borah' s
first question.
The incident of the clash between
the Americans and the armored train
was investigated by Kroupsky himself
under Semenoff's orders. it is said in
answer to the second question. The
result was that Captain Popoff who
was the senior captain in responsible
command of the Russian troops, was
shot, and General Bogolometz, who was
in general command of all armored
| trains, and who happened to be on the
train in question as a passenger. was
imprisoned for thirty days
Knowledge Of "slaughtcr pens" is
denied in the Kroupsky letter, although
the Colonel says that he was familiar
with the entire territory. There we're,
however, places at distance from
habtations where condemned persons
were executed, but these were under
the direct jurisdiction of the com
mandant of the place they were To-
Gated, rather than Of Semenof.
Admits Incomplete Control
In answering the inquiry concerning
the three generals, the letter to Sena-
tor Borah makes what is considered
by the SemenofY adhcrents one of the
strongest points in the Generals de-
fence. First, stating that Kalmikoff
operated entirely independently more
than thousand miles distant from
Semenof, Kroupsky defines the status
of the other two officers as being under
the direct control Of their corps com
manders. then Of the army chief, and
then only Of Semcnof,
Furthermore, the letter points out,
