FRAUD LAID To
MRS. KNAPP

ALBANY. N. r., Jan. 23.--
Charged specifically with forgery.
grand larceny, false audits, and
Qualifications and the illegal removal
of state records. Mrs. Florence n.
S. Knapp, Of Syracuse, former sec
retary of state, today faced an
investigation by the March term OF
the Albany county grand jury of
her administration of the 81 400 200
census fund in 1925.
These grave charges were made
against Mrs. Knapp by Randall j.
LeBoeuf. jr.. Albany attorney. who,
as Moreland commissioner last
fall. investigated Mrs. Knapp's adj
n1inistration of the census funds
The report was made public today
by Gov. Alfred e. Smith who APP
pointed LeBoeuf to sift the charges
against Mrs. Knapp.
Stunned BY Report
Official Albany was fairly stunned
by the LeBoeuf report. State Of.
ficials generally had expected that
LeBoeuf would recommend grand
jury investigation of Mrs. Knapp's
administration Of the. ST coo, 900
census fund, but they were aiken
completely by surprise at the bitter
denunciation of Mrs. Knapp, and the
severe arraignment Of some other
State officials and employees. rs well
as the civil service commission,
which LeBoeuf wrote In his report
Not since the days of the inn
parchment of former Gov. William
Sulzer, and the ousting of the
Socialist assemblymen has the
capitol been so stirred.
II. L -.
grand jury investigator alone,
IL the LeBoeuf report is carried out
by District Attorney Charles j..
LeBoeuf recommended that the
alleged part which Mark stern.
deputy secretary OF state; Anna A..
Little, long a trusted employee in
the secretary of state office, and
Julia M. Ryan, chief Of the payroll
division of the civil service conlmis-
sion, played in the alleged waste Of
census funds be investigated by a
grand jury.
Stern is still serving as deputy
secretary of state; Miss Little is still
employed in the secretary OF states
office, but Miss Ryan was suspended
by the civil service commission a
few days after LeBoeuf opened his
investigation last October. Stern
served as first deputy under Mrs.
Knapp. who was New FORKS first
woman secretary Of state.
In addition. DR.. Walter Laidlaw,
of New York, executive Secretry of
the cities census committee, the
man who made the oriCinal charges
against Mrs. Knapp viii have to
face grand jury Investigation if
LeBoeuf's report is carried out. De-
claring that DR.. Laidlaw failed to
register as a lobbyist when he was
at the capitol in 1896 trying to in.
duce the legislature to pass ad-
ditional census legislation.
LeBoeuf charged in his report
that Mrs. Knapp illegally spent and
wasted $4,000 of the 81 1000, 900
census fund. OF this amount, $751;
600 went to seven of Mrs. Knapp's
close relatives. whom, he charged,
did little or no census work.
At one point in his report. Le-
Boeuf b1untly charged Mrs. Knapp
with forging the name OF Mrs.
Luella v. Hinde to census salary
checks and expense vouchers made
out to the latter.

Free Time for Children By VIOLA WODVIL

No mother ever loved clild better than Mrs. Winter loved Margery nor tried harder to give her every advantage. That was the whole trouble. She tried too hard. She stood up so straight that she leaned over backwards, as my dear father used to say We'll, Mrs. Winter nearly killed Margery, and I'll tell you about it just as she told me after Mar gerry had become rosy-cheeked high school freshman.
 "Margery grew so thin and list less" said Mrs. Winter. though she was faithful to all her work that I saw she wasn't well. Yet considering the scientific care tha. l gave her, I couldn't understand it. One morning she wouldn't gel up to do her practicing and there was nothing for it but to call the doctor.
 "Dr. Stevens was as much like an old-time family physician as exists nowadays. and had known him all my life. He scarce ly knew Margery, though, because she had always been so well. When he came. he merely had a little visit with the child and then talked with me out in the hall
 Is your daughter usually ar active child?' he asked
 She used to be little dream er,' I answered.. until trained her ont of it. wanted her to get the full use of all her time, and now she accomplishes a great deal
 "I meant, what exercise does she get?'
 t Her play time is supervised at school, and I see to it that she has a walk very often. I go with her myself, and we study birds and plants. With her extra les sons I want her to have plenty of outdoors
 "Then I told him how much tal- ent Margery had for drawing and music and how l saw to 1t that she had opportunities that very few children enjoyed. She has ac- cepted a very high standard I added, 'as the goal she is working towards, and 1 feel that she will be creative in one or both of these lines.
 When he questioned about her diet I could tell even to the num- Der of calories she had in he- well balanced meals. Can you wonder, Doctor, asked, that 1 am surprised that with all my care she is now in bed with mo- thing much the matterg
 Nothing but nervous prostra- tion!' he burst out "a ridiculous condition in a child with a mother as intelligent as I thought you were, Caroline Poor little thing Even her walk study period. No time to herself. A little slave to her mothers ambition
 Careful, Doctor!' had to throw in.
 Now, Caroline, you are going to let your old friend tell you that no good intentions are going to alter the fact that you have put this child to a program that few grown people could stand. Her whole nature has rebelled. No matter how exactly you weigh her food it isn't going to nourish her body if her spirit is in cage.
 "sChildren need time to dream. time to plan their own games. time to do nothing at all. They may have little duties-should have them--but not the large re- sponsibilities that you have put on. your child. Think it over, and you'll know am right. Give Margery wholesome food. but let her choose for herself what she likes, and how much, for time.
