Mrs. Margaret Moraitis, an English
woman, Is on her way to her daughter
home in San Francisco with her ten
trunks, her $4,000 in cash and her titles
to property valued at about $4,000,
having been able in Just week to sat
isfy immigration officials that she was
not in danger of becoming a public
charge. She started for San Francisco
Saturday after q weeks detention at
Ellis Island.
The trouble was Mrs. Moraitis took
too seriously the advice of a fellow
passenger on her ship who said he
was an English detective. He told her
that by no means must she let United
States authorities suspect that she was
a woman of wealth and, above all, she
must conceal her deeds, which are to
property in Germany.
Hid Deeds and Money
Mrs. Moraitis acted upon the advice
to the extent of concealing the deeds
and money beneath her clothes and
strove to her transparent best to de-
ceive Ellis Island authorities without
telling q falsehood. Quite naturally
they became suspicious and refused
to release her until her daughter tele-
graphed a guaranty Of support.
II sold out all my belongings In
Southport and Liverpool" said Mrs.
Moraitis, drew all my money from the
bank, sent most of it to my married
daughter In San Francisco, but kept
with me about $4,000 for travelling ex-
penses and any emergency that might
befall me. had made up my mind to
come to the United States and spend
the rest of my life in comfort and ease
with my daughter and son-in-law.

Swamp Baby"
Again Sleeps in
Mothers Arms
Leah Silver Finds Child She
Abandoned at Coney
and Own Mother Waiting
to Forgive at Hospital
Judge Holds Court There
Sets Bail at $1,000, Promis-
ing To Be Lenient After
Her Second One Arrives

Miss Leah Silver composed herself
FOL. sleep last night in Kings County
Hospital with the fifteen months old
baby that she had left on the banks Of
Coney Island Greek once more in her
arms. She had cried joyously with her
mother, and had seen her brother again
for the first time since July 4. She
had been arraigned, and held in $4,000
ban. But it was friendly world,
after all, and she sighed and looked out
Of the window at the stars.
Coney Island court was damned yes
terday morning with persons wanting
to-see the unmarried mother when she
was arraigned ON charge Of having
abandoned her child week ago. There
were in the crowd more than 100
women from social welfare organiza-
tons eager to have Magistrate o'Neill
allow them to take charge of the young
mother and her first child while she
awaits her second.
Girls Mother In Court
But Miss Silver had been taken from
the Sheepshead Bay police station to
Coney Island Hospital and put in the
maternity ward because the excitement
had been too much for her. 1t was so
explained to Magistrate O'Neill and
Julian Carabba, an attorney who had
been retained by clothing manufac-
turer named Jones in Lynn, Mass,
where the girls parents have q res
taurant, asked that his client be ad-
rnitted to bail as soon as possible
Mra Rehecra Silver the eir1tr
mother, and her son Harry, who had
come on from Lynn, were in court,
Mrs. Silver said she wanted to see her
daughter and take her home. She
said that she would take care Of the
little Swamp baby" and the one that
is to come.
Magistrate O'Neill summoned clerks,
stenographers and attendants neces-
sary to make up court, and, taking
Mrs. Silver, went to Coney Island Hos
pital to see Leah.
Cries in Mothers Arms
When the young woman saw her
mother with her arms extended TO
greet her, she ran to her, and the two
women cried together. 1t was some
time before Magistrate ONeill could
read the affidavit charging the young
woman with abandonment
Through her attorney, Miss Silver
pleaded not guilty. Bail was fixed at
$4,000. Carabba objected to it, but
Magistrate o'Neill was firm. He said
that it was best for Leah to stay in
a hospital for the present and that
when her condition permitted, he GER
tainly would reduce the amount of the
bail. He even had the superintendent
Of Coney Island Hospital transfer Miss
Silver to Kings County Hospital so
that she could be with the little one
she is charged with having deserted.
A hearing Of the case was set for

Bedtime Stories
Peters Bitter Disappointment
BY Thornton.W. Burgess
Be not too sure lest at the last
Grim disappointment grips yo,t
fast.
-Peter Rabbit

For the first time since he had be-
come entangled in the net which COW
cred Farmer Browns strawberry bed
Peter Rabbit was almost happy To
be sure he was prisoner in q pen
in Farmer Browns henyard. But even
that was better than lying helpless,
wound up in net. Besides, Peter
didn't intend to remain a prisoner
long. He was sure that he could dig
down under that wire pen and then
under the fence of the henyard, and
once more be free.
SO Peter made the dirt fly in one
corner of that pen. Down he went
for about foot and half Then
his busy little paws felt something
that they could not dig through. it
was wire! Yes, sir, it was more Of
that wire netting out Of which the
sides and top Of the pen were made!
At first Peter couldn't believe it.
But presently ne had to believe it.
He simply couldn't dig any deeper.
Such disappointed Rabbit II
Peter were given to crying he would
have cried then. You see he had been
so sure that he could get out that
way that it hadn't entered his head
that anything could stop him. Yes,
indeed, 1T was a bitter disappoint-
ment.
But Peter didn't give up. He dug
hole in another corner Of the pen.
The result was the same. again he
found that provoking wire. In turn
he tried each of the other corners.
Each time he was disappointed.
Finally he dug a hole right in the
middle Of the pen. But he Jared no
better than before. Then he gave IN.
He was tired. His feet were sore.
He was the most disappointed Rabbit
in all the Great World. So he crept
into the box in the corner, where he
was quite out Of sight and nobody
could see. How very, very miserable
he felt.
Peter couldn't understand this
thing at all. Roots or stones in the
way down underground he would
have understood He would have
known what to do. He would have
gnawed OFF roots and he would have
dug around stones. But this thing
that stopped him he could nsither
gnaw'nor dig around, How it. came

to be underground he couldn't under

to be underground he couldn't under
stand.
Later in the day Farmer Browns
Boy came for look at Peter to see
how he was getting along. At once
ne saw the holes Peter had dug. He
chuckled. II thought as much" said
he. Il knew just what you would
90 as soon as you were left alone.
That is why | made this pen with
wire bottom and then filled it in part
way with earth. i can't afford to
have such miscellaneous scamp as
you running about where you can get
INTO my garden. You have done mis-
chief enough there already You will
have to stay here until things in that
garden have grown. don't want to
Keep you q prisoner, bat I'll have to.
Yes, sir, I'll have to-"
So Farmer Browns Bow put in soma

more left him. Peter didn't come
out until after dark, He didn't like
20 be stared at by those hens in the
nehSard' Then, too. he felt SO badly

around thai. pen inch by inch, but
everywhere he was met by that hate

chance OF escaping. Poor, disap-

REPORTED BY GEN. NOLLET
Says Incident at Passau, Bavaria,
"Surpasses in Gravity All Others

Paris.-The allied council Of am
bassadors has received from Gen.
Nollet, head of the allied commission
of control in Germany, a detailed re-
port on the recent incident at Passau,
Bavaria, in which a French and
British officer were attacked while
attempting to inspect the barracks Of
the Second Regiment of Reichswehr.
Gen. Nollet's report declares the in
cident, which occurred ON Oct. 27,
''surpasses in gravity all others to
date"
when Commandant Bouyehou of
the French army was about to enter
the barracks, which he suspected Of
concealing arms" the report relates,
"a German official stopped him and
said: You are the father of a family;
reflect before you make such a dan.
gerous visit
"The motor in which he arrived was
surrounded by a mob of 500 persons
who threatened the lives of the
Frenchman and a B-itish officer
Capt. Atkinson. The officers persist
ed in making their inspection. Mean
time the crowd increased and tried
to break into the barracks.
"The police refused to aid the Of.
ficers, who, on leaving, we're attacked
by the crowd with bricks and stones.
Two revolver shots and 20 bricks and
rocks pierced the automobile.
The report declares that the dem
onstration was organized by the Ger.
man military, and that 1t indicates
the spirit of the whole territory. The
ambassadors will begin consideration
of the report next Wednesday, and
it is believed they will demand an
apology aid reparations from the Ger
man authorities. "a
A reply is expected this week from
Germany to the note OF the allied
commission of control outlining IL
conditions which must be carried out
before the commission is withdrawn
in favor of a smaller committee on
military guarantees.
