RUSSIAN MOTHER
TIE S TlFIE IN
BABY FARM CASE
Owner Boosted Treating
Unruly Babies Rough

NEW YORK, May S1-Mrs. Irene
Meroff, a twenty-one-year old Russian
mother Of a child which she was
forced to keep in the infantorium
while she was out Of town earning her
living-is an important witness in the
manslaughter case against Mrs. Helen
Geisen-yolk, owner of the infantorium
at 235 East seth street.
Ad Promised Mothers Love.
Mrs. Meroff told her story to Assist
ant District attorney William P.
Ryan before whom she appeared in
the homicide bureau. She is a dancer.
She must earn her living and care for
her baby. When she got Job in Chi
cago 1t became necessary for her to
board her childsat some homie and one
that was reasonable in price. She
looked into the newspapers and saw
an "ad' which read:
Home for babies; mothers care
and love; outdoor system. Geisen-
Volk Sanitarium, 235 East seth st."
She took her little baby girl, Luba,
to Mrs. Geisen-Volk When she re-
turned to New York in November she
hurried to the baby farm to see her
daughter but Mrs. Geisen-Yolk would
not let her see her baby. She re-
turned with doctor but still the
farm owner refused to allow her to
see her baby. She was told that only
her own doctor was allowed there by
the board Of health.
The young mother went back again
the next day to demand to see her
child. This time she had better luck.
Mrs. Geisen-Volk was out and the
nurse, Mrs. Frances Hirsch, who &C.
companied Mrs. Meroff to the district
attorneys, allowed Mrs. Meroff to see
Luba.
Il found Luba had lost eight
pounds" Mrs. Meroff said "The very
next day l came with my physician
and we took the child away. NV doc
tor said Luba was a victim of bron-
chial pneumonia, acute Indigestion and
auto-intoxication and he showed me
several black and blue marks on her
body"
Mothers Love Defined.
Mrs. Meroff said when she returned
to get Luba's clothes, Mrs. Geison.
Volk in the presence of Mrs. Hirsch,
the nurse told her that babies and
animals should be disciplined the
same way. When the babies become
unruly I hold them Under could water
or push them into closets or bang
them. That's my method Of training
them" i
Mrs. Meroff said she wrote a letter
to the board of health authorities that
very night telling them about the
treatment her baby received at the
baby farm and Of her conversation
with Mrs. Geisen-volk but she receiy-
ed no answer and nothing was done
