Towers, of Belleville, vice president of
the State Federation, spoke on the
supervised play issue in Champaign
and urged voters to endorse the pro-
ieet with their ballots when the ques-
ton is put to a vote.
Towers quoted figures from munich
palities that have adopted supervised
play for children and declared that
taxes had been lowered in all depart
ments of public welfare that are de-
voted to the care of criminal and de-
linouent children. In Brazil, Ind,
where supervised play has been in
augurated long enough to estimate its
worth to the community, he stated
that not one case of delinquency had
been reported during the past year.

INSANITY PLEA
IS M'COY'S HOPE
Former Pugilist Hopes BY It To
Save Self From Charges
of Murder.

Los Angeles, Cal.-Construction of a
frame work of evidence to support the
insanity defense of Kid Mccoy, ex-
pugilist charged with the murder Of
Mrs. Theresa Mors here Aug. IL, was
continued today by attorneys, alienists
and friends of the alleged slayer.
Defense counsel made no, secret of
the plan to save Mccoy from the gal
lows by proving him insane, and adj
raitted that-they were prepared. to show
that at least two other members of
the former fighters family were con-
fined in institutions for the treatment
Of mental disorders.
Arrangements were made to send adj
ditional alienists into the prisoners
cell in an effort to substantiate a re-
port already made by DR.. Cecil Rey-
holds to the effect that Mccoy is a
victim of-incipient paresis, diseased
condition of the brain frequently mani
tested by violent outbursts such as the
shooting orgy staged by Mccoy in and
near Mrs. Mors' antique shop the day
after her death.
The one-time boxer, who was known
in his day as among the most ruth
less and trickiest fighters in the ring.
collapsed in near-faint yesterday
when defense doctors subjected him
to blood tests, and wept as he talked
to interviewers about his love for the
woman police say he killed.

FIND MAN DEAD
AT HIS WORK
Steve Boglund, SO, Found
Dead While Repairing
Steam Roller.
CAUSE Is A MYSTERY

Steve Boglund, aged SO, who lives
with his sister on North Rowland
avenue near the Somers road, died of
causes yet undetermined while at
work Sunday evening on steam roller,
the property of the Glover Construc
ton company The body of the work
man wap discovered lying partly within
the boiler of the roller with an cleo
trio light on am extension cord in his
hand. The discovery was made by
H. Ronald Glover about nine o'clock
in the evening.
According to report made to Coro-
ner Truman T, Parker, who was called
to investigate the circumstances sur
rounding the death of the man, Bog
lund had been working all day on the
steam roller in order to get it in
shape for work today. He is an en-
ployee of the Kenosha Boiler and
Structural company and was known
as an expert in his line.
Last Seen at Six O'clock.
H. R. Glover had gone over to the
place where theNrepairs were being
made near the plant of the company
at Division street and the North
western tracks about. six o'clock on
Sunday afternoon. At that time Bog
lund told him that he was not quite
through with the work but that he
could finish what remained in two or
three hours more.
At nine o'clock in the evening Glover
returned to find Boglund lying prone
inside the boiler Of the steam roller
with his feet hanging out, apparently
in an attitude of concentration on his
work. After calling for several times
Glover approached the body of the
workman to find it lifeless. Clutching
in his hand Boglund held an extern
sion cord with an electric light lamp
on the end of it. His clothing was
updisturbed.
Have Two Theories of Death.
According to Coroner Parker it is
possible that death may have come to
Boglund in two ways. He might have
received a shock from the extension
cord that could have resulted in death.
or he may have died of heart failure
fastened by physical exhaustion as a
result Of his work. Both theories are
being given credence by the coroner
The cord is being examined to find If
it is defective in any way, and an Elk
animation is being made into the past
history of the deceased in an attempt
to discover if the man had ever suf-
fered from heart attacks before.
The remains of the deceased were
removed to the Pawinsky funeral
home where they were prepared for
burial. Announcement of funeral az
rangements has not yet been made.

REPORT TELLS OF
CHILD WELFARE
Federal Children's Bureau
Discusses Problem of
Homeless Children.
MANY FOSTER HOMES

Kenosha has it's problems of taking
care of its homeless children in com
mon with many other cities in the
United States without the proper IA
cilitiesN for handling the perplexing
circumstances which come up before
the authorities. 1t is interesting to see
how the solution of the problem is at
tempted by public and private charit-
able institutions.
One-third of the homeless children
bin the United States under the care
of public and private charitable
agencies have found foster parents
who have taken them into their own
homes.
This is the estimate of the Chill
dren's Bureau of the u. S. Department
of Labor which has just issued an i'm
portant report on Foster Home Care
for Dependent Children" This report
compiled under the direction of the
social service division of the Bureau
includes articles by II well-known au-
thorities on child welfare.
The growing emphasis during the
past decade upon the need of home
care for the normal child has resulted
the Bureau points out, in the effort,
first, to prevent the breakup Of the
child's own home by giving mothers
pensions" or public aid to children in
their own homes, and second, to find
substitute home for the homeless
child. Results are evident in the fact
that AZ states give public aid to de-
pendent children in their own homes,
that tn number of children in foster
homes has increased substantially and
that the number of children in foster
tions has proportionately to the child
population, decreased.
$4,000 Children Placed.
Tentative figures place the number
of children aided in their own homes
at $4,000, the number in foster homes
at 10000, and the number in institu-
tions at $4,000.
Foster home care for children who
homes are unfit places for them to live
in is not new experiment, according
to the Children's Bureau, which points
out that this method, under various
names, has been used for many cent
uries. However, modern standards of
child care have vastly increased it's
value in promoting the welfare of de-
pendent children. The best public and
private agencies carefully investigate
every foster home before they place a
child in it, and, after the child is
placed, they exercise careful super
vision so that the child's health, edu-
cation, and happiness are safeguarded.
Such agencies study the home condi-
tions and the needs of the Individual
child so other forms of assistance is
not torn from his family, while the
child who needs foster home or in
stitutional care receives it.
