One Starting at Top, Other
at Bottom; Attitudes
Far Different.

BIZ NBA jScrUiee
ST. PAUL, Mimi, Sept. 23.-The
two grandsons of the late James j,
Hill are working as day laborers on
the Great Northern railroad-the
roalroad they some day will own.
They are very young men; as far
as money goes, each of them could
own railroad of his own right now
If he chose.
But they are setting out to earn
their ownership, one by working
with a construction crew and the
other by laboring as a machinist's
helper.
Furthermore, they are having a
race-a race to see which will get
first to the presidents chair of the
road their grandfather built.
One Goes Up; One Down
One is working up. The other
is working down. If the latter meets
his brother at the halfway station,
he'll turn around and go back up
with him.
CORTLAND Hill, 81, the younger
of the two brothers, is the one who
is working down." He doesn't pro-
pose to work his way through all
departments and all jobs; not for
him are the success stories about
the ambitious lad who began at the
bottom and worked his way to the
top by slow and painful struggles.
But he does want to know some
thing about the railroad, and he
doesn't mind getting his face and
hands dirty while he's learning.
Works as Machinist
So he is working as a machin-
lists helper, working in the Dale
ST.. shops. But soon he's going to
quit his job and go back Ca trif1e
tardy, perhaps), to Yale University
where he'll be sophomore.
Some day he may return to the
shop. But he admits that it's the
presidency Of the road that he's
after.
I'll take that Job maybe next
year, maybe not until I'm through
college" he says. But that's what
I'm after. Louis (the brother who
is working up from the bottom) car

anyway, about this bottom start

Attitudes Far Different

attitudes of the two brothers.

MOTHER TAKES
DISPUTED BABY
into HER HOME
Judge Rules No Evidence of
Shuttle at Hospital Is
Shown.

BIZ UNited Press
CLEVELAND, Ohio, Sept. ga
disputed baby girl, principal of the
dismissed habeas corpus proceedings
yesterday before Judge Carl v. Wey-
gandt, was in the home of Mr.. and
Mrs. sam Smith today. cooling her
satisfaction.
The habeas corpus writ, filed by
the Smiths against the Fairview
Park Maternity Hospital, requiring
the institution to produce a boy,
Mrs. Smith said was born to her
Aug. az, was denied by Judge Wey-
gandt late yesterday.
No Evidence of Mistake
In making his decision, the Judge
said there were no indications of a
mistake except technical one, and
that all existing evidence pointed to
the baby girl as the child of Mrs.
Smith. The court called attention
to physical similarities between the
two which were pointed out on the
stand by DIR. w. B. Glendenning,
Anationally known anatomist.
1T Is a great probability that this
baby Is Mrs. Smiths child" Judge
Weygandt asserted. There is no
evidence of any kind-in fact no
evidence at all-which would Sub
stantiate the theory that this girl
Is not her child. I find there was
a technical mistake made at the
hospital, and / hope the parents will
be satisfied that this mistake, despite
the suffering it caused, might have
happened in any such institution.
Mother In Courtroom
"It would be a tragedy IL this
woman we're to build up in her mind
resistance to the idea that this
is her child" the judge continued.
Il wish and trust that as the child
grows up, Mr.. and Mrs. Smith will
be just as proud of her as though
she had been boy"
Mrs. Smith, who came into the
courtroom by surprise, after she
previously had announced she would
not leave her bed at the hospital
until "her boy was found" collapsed
on the stand while testifying.
After the Judge had announced his
decision she broke into flow OF
tears, and said she did not know
whether they would take the baby
into their home or not.
Following conference, however,
with their attorney, Charles F. Nc
Council, and Judge Weygandt, the
Smiths went to the hospital and
agreed to take the infant.
