Douglas A. Seeley, father of 7-year-
old Pearl Adele Seeley. has withdrawn
his petition for a writ of habeas
corpus to take the child from the
custody of the Board of Children's S
Guardians, where she was placed
when the mother, Mrs. Fay Behrends,
former wife of Seeley, was arrested
on a charge Of blackmail. The case
was to be heard yesterday before Chief
Justice Mccoy, and a three -cornered
fight for the custody Of the child was
expected. The action of the father
put an end to these court proceed
ings and the child will remain in
the custody of the board pending a
hearing in Juvenile Court set for
August 25.

named it's guardian. The controversy
will be switched to the Juvenile

MADISON, Wis. August. 3O-Ths
board of regents of the University of
Wisconsin in voting recently not TO
accept funds from endowed corpora
tions, thereby turned down Il tentative
gift of 100000 for a medical building.
1t became known today
DR.. Charles Bardeen, deem of the
University medical school, said he
had written the general education
board Rockefeller Foundation that ap-
proximately 100000 was needed for
the medical school and that the board
gave some announcement"
While the regents were making
out the request for funds from the
legislature last Fall the demands for
buildings were so great that it ap-
peared there was not much chance to
get them. | wrote to Regent Schmidt
Mann that l would see what I could
get from private sources.
To Get Veteran Aid Cash.
II wrote to a number of these
sources and received some encourage
ment from the general education
board of the Rockefeller Foundation.
I had suggested that we probably
would need 5000, 900 Meanwhile the
legislature authorized the transfer of
some funds from the soldiers rehabili-
tation fund to be used for the erec-
ton of medical building. It has not
yet been decided how much can be
obtained from this fund"
A report that S140,O 900 would have
been available from private sources
for research in land economics by
Prof. John r. Commons to replace the
institute for research in land eco
nomics and public utilities under DIR.
Richard T. Ely, recently moved to
Northwestern University, was uncon-
f1rmed.
Solomon Levitan, State treasurer,
today promised that homes for mar
ried graduate students be financed by
funds from endowed corporations,
such as the Rockefeller Foundation.
While the board of regents will not
allow such money to be used in
teaching the undergraduates. Mr..
Levitan, Madison banker, said that
the money might profitably be EN-.
ployed in financing homes for the stu
dents who married after they grad
uated, thus making 1t a boon to
many young people who are prevented
from marrying and making homes by
the prohibitive COSTS
II think we often overlook the fact
that young men and women of today
have in reality a harder time in the
first few years after they get out of
school than they have at any other
time. Those first few years often are
the crucial ones and determine sue
cess or failure in life.
The rising cost of living has made
it increasingly difficult for our young
people to marry and establish homes.
The home is the foundation of the ma
ton and yet our American way of liv-
ing is making it harder to found
homes.
"I believe it would be fine thing
If some of the money from great en-
dowment associations that is going a
begging could be put to work to
finance homes for these people,"

rally stage today the Republicans
were on record as regarding the
! breach in Democratic ranks as fight
| between Gov. Smith and William Ran

| These views We're expressed by
| Charles D. Hilles, Republican national

Hearst is consumed by his hatred
! of Gov. Smith, Mr.. Hilles said yes

| determined to unseat Mayor HyIan

that this is fight to determine who

New York; that If Senator Walker
| wins in the primaries, Gov. Smith will
name the delegates to the Democratic
| national convention in 1928, whereas
if Hylan wins, Hearst will name those
delegates. That is the issue.
''Tammany is responsible for eight
years of municipal rule so bad that
| even Tammany cannot stand for 1t.
Are we to abandon the city to the
| gentlemen of Fourteenth street Tam-
many HalD who are now engaged in
| Scuttling their own ship?
why should Hearst be Vindicated
and decorated? Hearst, who was hos.
tile to England, who damned royalty,
who was received by the King and
who now buys a castle in Ireland?
7 What interest have our 100000
| people in the personnel of the delega-

| should our citizens elect a city ticket
! for the sole purpose of enabling
Hearst, Hylan's absentee landlord. to
