spending propensities of American
tourists in previous years this sum
mers delegation is expected to spend
at least 500, 100000. Whereas three
years ago 40 per cent of the Amerl-
can tourists dsembark ed at South
ampton or other English ports, and
60 per cent landed at CherbourS and
other continental ports, the English
tourist statisticians are now boast
ing that the ratio has been more
than reversed in favor of the British
Isles Everything is being done by
British hotel keepers and other pro-
fessional entertainers not only to
maintain that lead over continental
attraction, but even to increase 1t.
Besides installing thousands of
American soda fountains for the
benefit of those with Volstedian
thirsts, the English are importing
ever increasing numbers of American

American dancers.
There are now more American jazz
musicians in London, according to
the statement of a prominent Lon

three European capitals combined.
In fact, the influx of American mu-
sicians has reached such stage that
there have been numerous protests

Neglected Children
Given in Charge
State Authorities

The entire forenoon on Tuesday
was taken up with neglect case.
heard before Judge Atkins in the
municipal court. The respondents
were Mr.. and Mrs. Oscar Douglass.
The former was represented by HOn.
George w. Heselton and the latter by
T.. l.. Goodspeed. The evidence in
tn the case soon eliminated Mr..
Douglass from the case entirely. The
charge against Mrs. Douglass was of
neglect of children and the maintain
ing Of conditions dangerous to health
and morals. Miss Leslie Of the State
Department of Charities and Correc-
tons had charge of the case for the
State. Judge Atkins in rendering
his decision stated that he had no
doubt that the children were lacking
in proper attendance and care, and
that the surroundings were not such
as to tend to the proper bringing up
of children. He did not see how.
considering his obligation TO the
State, he. could allow the children to
remain in Mrs. Douglass charge. Ac-
cordingly the four children, Ethel.
Charles, Arthur and Beatrice were
given over to the care of the State.
Attorney Goodspeed entered an APP
peal and the children will be allowed
to remain in the mothers custody
until such time as 4 decision on the
appeal is given.
Attorney Goodspeed in summing up
gave a magnificent appeal for the
children to be allowed to remain
with the mother, but it was OF no
avail.
Miss Leslie testified as to the COM
plants received and investigation
made, the sanitary conditions being
very bad. Col. S. d. Soule of the
Gardiner Water District also gave
testimony along the same lines.
Mrs. Thurlow. one of the South
timony, which evidently did not quite
please attorney Goodspeed. She told
of giving the children care and food,
stating that they had come to school
evidently very poorly nourished and
thinly clad. Mrs. Thurlow's testi-
mony and straight forward, right to
the point and given with a positive
ness that nothing could change. Miss
Clark, another teacher testified az to
the psysical condition Of the children.
From the testimony it appears the
children in question were born after
Mrs. Douglass left her husband Mrs.
Douglass. on the stand proved to
have wonderful faculty for forget
ting things. She forgot the date
when she married Mr.. Dorsey. for
got the date of her securing divorce
from him. forgot the name of the at
torney who secured said divorce. for
got the date when she married Doug
lass Mr.. Douglass was just the re-
verse. he answered all questions put
by judge and attorneys in a clean
cut. clear manner. and left an excel
lent impression on all.
Fred Hart was the name Of LODI
ger of Mrs. Douglass, to whose pres
ence at the home objection was made
by the complaints. He did not testi-
fy. Mr.. Garland. a former ledger and
boarder offered testimony that con-
ditions at the house We're satisfac-
tory to him and that the children
had the same to eat THAT the rest had.
1t is possible that other and more
serious charges will be brought.
