to call attention to one of our basic
industries and one which has con-
tributed more to the health and wealth

fifty per cent. This has been brought

At the last legislative session, a
law was passed cutting the mileage
fee of county officers below ten cents
per mile and officials in several coun-
ties of the state are stating that they
cannot run their cars for less than ten
cents per mile, which is the truth.
Now, along comes a party with the
statement that in the interests of tax
reductions, county officials who are
compelled to travel extensively, use the
railroads and buses at about four cents
per mile" This also might bear look
ing into and a saving is a saving.

STORY Of
ABUSE IS
HEARD
Girls Teeth Kicked Out, Beaten
'25 Times by Stepmother,
Brother Tells Court

Elsie Riley, 40-year-old step
mother of several children, today
sat in Police Court and heard
her 15-year-old stepson accuse her
Of kicking and beating his 13-
year-old sister and keeping the
child imprisoned in filthy closet
for months at a time.
The boy, Francis M. Riley. said
he saw his sister Edith kicked
in the face by their stepmother
with such force that several Of
her teeth were knocked out. He
declared the child was the VIC
tim of secret beatings at the
hands of their stepmother.
Mrs. Riley and her husband,
Harry Riley, 40, were held for the
Grand Jury on bond of $2.500
each after Judge Isaac r. Hit
had heard the story told by Fran
els, charged with cruelty to a
child.
Conditions Horrible"
A policewoman, Ruby Brandt,
who took the child from the Riley
home at lilo Rhode Island Ave.
N. w. yesterday, described the
conditrehs under which she found
the little girl as horrible. =
She said the child was locked
in filthy closet. clad in a single
dirty slip. Mrs. Brandt described
the stencil from the closet as
highly offensive.
AS the policewoman began her
story, the United States marshal
carried the little girl, Edith Riley,
into the courtroom.
Child Stares Vacantly
Sitting perfectly still, and star
ing vacantly into space, the child
replied to questions asked by
Assistant United States Attorney
Michael F.. Geogh in indistin-
guishable monosyllables.
Her spoken testimony was Of
little Importance, but the mute
story of her emaciated body,
sunken eyes and SCARED face af.
fected the audience more than the
story told by any witness.
At the conclusion of the brief
preliminary hearing Keogh asked
for the $4,000 bond. Defense Attor-
ney Bert Emerson objected, point
ing out that the defendants were
already under $1,000 bond, but
Judge Hit upheld Keogh's con-
tention that the original bond was
too small
Mrs. Riley made bond shortly
before l o'clock and Mr.. Riley
is expected to secure the neces.
sary funds for release this after
noon.
RileyS To Fight
Defense testimony is not per.
mitted to be introduced at a pre-
liminary hearing, but the trend
of Emerson'S questions indicated
that the Rileys will contend that
they obtained medical attention
for the child and that they re-
fused to place her in an insti.
tuition because they believed she
would have better care at home.
Both will also deny that the
child was beaten or otherwise mis-
treated.
The most telling testimony
against the pair was the child.

Keogh asked him how his sister

wasn't enough, she didn't get
