A widowed mother, three chill
dren, petition to the Board of
Guardians for temporary aid, per-
manent removal of one child, an
other broken home.
These are the salient points in
one of a large number of cases in
vestigated by the special commit
tee of the Mothers Congress and
upon which were based recon-
mendations for a complete reorgan-
ization of charity agencies.
The above case is that Of a Mrs.
x (whose name will be furnished
upon application to Mrs. Edmund
Brennan, Harrington HoteD. upon
the death of her husband the
mother and three children. 1t is re-
lated, were left without support.
Before the mother could obtain
employment, it is said, she was
compelled to ask help for her
3-year-old boy. The mother de-
clares that she expressly stated at
the time that she had no idea OF
surrendering the child longer than
was necessary. Finding employ
ment in a large department store,
she made a new home and applied
to the guardians for her baby who
had been committed to the board
by the court. The guardians, 1t is
said, refused to return the child
and. according to the mother, still
refuse.
Members Of the Congress of
Mothers investigating committee
declare that the mothers home Is
a good one and that the woman Is
of excellent moral character. The
only charge against her, they de-
clare, was poverty. This condition
has been overcome now, II Is said.
but the board refuses to return
the child to his mother.
Meanwhile. the boy has been To-
Gated in several placement homes.
According to officials of the Board
of Guardians he will. within the
next few days, be sent to another
home outside the District.
1T is just another inconsiderate
treatment of a mother" one MEM
ber of the Mothers investigating
committee said yesterday. 1T does
not seem much to the members of
the board: with them 1t Is routine.
But to the mother and the other
children of the home it Is the trag-
edy of their lives"
S The Mothers committee have
placed the case in the hands of
attorneys who will endeavor to have
the guardians surrender the child.
However, 1t is pointed out, this can
not be done except by voluntary
action of the Board of Guardians.
There is no court that can compel
restoration. *
District heads yesterday were ex-
pecting to receive replies from the
Board of Guardians and the Trust
ees of the Industrial Home School
regarding efforts to cenciliate their
differencesT

whether the interests Of Western
sheep raisers or those Of millions of
Americans who purchase woolen
clothing. carpets and cloth shall be
regarded as paramount in the tram
ing Of a tariff bill is the question
to which the Senate has begun to
give earnest consideration.
Under the leadership of Senator
Lenroot. Wisconsin. insurgent Re-
publican Senators mapped out a
plan to slash wool duties in the
pending tarin bill. with the an
nounced purpose of saving the Amer
lean people q vast sum on the cost
Of their clothing and other prod
ucts made wholly or partly Of wool.
Flags Committee PROPOSAL.
The Finance Committee proposal
Of - cents q pound duty on secured
wool. with compensatory duties Of
80 cents on wooden manufactures
means that this outrageous tax will
be passed on to the American con-
sumer." said Lenroot. The Senate
Is asked to impose duties far higher
than those in the Payne-Aldtich
bill Bad as that bill was, this II
worse. I remind the Senate that
the country vented its wrath for the
passage of that measure at the first
opportunity.
- The Senate proposes to put the
same tariff on every grade of wool
for IS cents q pound as that which
sells for "a cents. And the low
!. grade wool at "a cents Is only
Production.
orem tariff Of 1877 per cent on low
grade wool"
The compensatory duties, which
would give manufacturers SO cents
pound on some wooden manufac-
lures even II the manufactured
product contained but a few threads
of WOOL was assailed by Lenroot
as wholly without Justification"
Bitter Fight Expected.
Senators Bursum, New Mexico,
and Gooding. Idaho. the latter a
large owner of sheep, contended
stoutly for the committee plan. de-
claring 1t would stimulate the wool
growing industry in the United
States. and SIsst the duty, when
passed on to tho consumer. would
represent but a few cents on a
suit of clothes.
The fight over wool promises to
be the bitterest of the long strug-
gle over the tarin bill. Both in
surgents and regulars were busy
yesterday in an effort to line up
Senators. both sides admitting that
the vote Is likely to be close.

"Sonny's" conduct and resents the

Big MEXICAN DEBT
Bankers Here Await Ratifica-
ton Of Plan Which Obregon
Has Just Signed.

Thomas w. Lamont. chairman OF the
International committee Of bankers on
Maxico, in an official statement issued
yesterday confirmed news from Mexico
City that President Obregon had signed
the Mexican lebt agreement negotiated
between the bankers and Mexican Min
listers in this city last June.
'4The committee" the statement said.
received an official message from Min
lister OF Finance do la Huerta Of Mexico
stating that tho agreement as to the
Mexican debt. signed here by Minister
de la Huerta and the international COM
mittee on June 18 last, was yesterday
ratified by President Obregon and that
the agreement was being submitted to
the Mexican Congress for its action in
due course"
1t Is not anticipated in American bank
Ing or Mexican political cir.les that any
thing will arise to prevent the adoption
of the banking agreement by the Mexi-
can Congress. The committee will not
call for the deposit of bonds, It is un-
derstood, until the Mexican Congress
has adopted the plan. The Mexican
Congress will convene In the fall.
Und err the terms OF the agreement pay
ment of current interest on Mexican
bonds shall start January next and
that the back interest shall be cared
for by amortization over a period Of
years. which will discharge the obliga-
tion by January /, 1928. The plan of
adjustment dealt with all external Mex
lean Government debts. direct or guar
anteed, the National Railways debt and
certain internal Government debts large
ly held outside Mexico. Tho total debt
involved is little more than $780,
100000. on which the interest In arrears
amounts to approximately 5000, 100000.
With the banking agreement ratified
there remains only the oil agreement to
be approved to make Minister de la
Huerta's mission to the United States
completely successful. The conference
between American oil men and Senor de
la Huerta was begun Immediately after
the conclusion OF the banking conference
and ended July last. No definite agree
ment was reached with the oil men. but
Minister de la Huerta returned to Mex
leo with memoranda outlining certain
principles relative to exploitation work
in Mexico to be presented to President
Obregon.
