ONE REPORT IS SHE
 IS OLDER THAN 16
By The Assuc!sted Press,

By The Associated Press.
 New York, Aug. 6.-An tnvestiga- ton by the. district attorney of Queens county into the adoption of Mary Louise Spas, young daughter of immigrant parents by Edward W. Browning. wealthy divorced realtor. was sought today by Commissioners of Public Welfare Coler.
 The commissioner said the investi- sation was prompted by charges that Browning had given money to Mary's parents in return for their signing the adoption papers. He added that 1t was violation of long established precedent for a divorced man to be permitted to adopt a child in this city.
 Cnmoral Transaction Ut Is the most immoral transar- ton that has ever come to my mo- tice," Mir. Coler said. "somewhere In the laws of this country there must be statute that parent can not sell child. If there Is not such a law VIC will make one"
 The adoption did not pass through his office, the commissioner ex- plained, since Mary Louise was not "a dependent child"
 we do not allow the adortton ar children by foster parents of 3 diff. ferent faith" he added, and we never allow divorced persons to adopt children who are under our surveillance"
 Discrepancies Noted
 Mary Louise was the successful applicant for adoption out of 12.ooo, answers received by Mir. Browning when he advertised for a child to be- come a companion to nine-year- old Dorothy Sunshine Browning, whom he earlier adopted.
 Browning's explanation of his mo- tives adopting the girl has been carefully checked in the last few days and certain discrepancies have been noted, particularly as to the oge of the girl and the financial con- dition of her parents.
 Dreams Coming True.
 Mary's dreams are beginning to come true. Whatever doubts and Self-pinching she may have indulged in when the millionaire realtor pic tured for her life of ease as his third adopted daughter the little Bo- hemian girl was convinced today.
