LEGAL FIGHT OVER CHILD
ENDS IN MOTHERS FAVOR
D. c. Supreme Court Gives Mrs.
Ruth Harris Bell Custody After
Battle in Three States.

A court fight over the custody of a
3-year-old child, which extended over
three States, was concluded today when
the District Supreme Court decided in
favor of the child's mother, Mrs. Ruth
Harris Bell, Conard Apartments, an
employe of the Census Bureau.
Attorneys William r. and Saul G..
Lichtenberg, representing the wife, said
she had married John Paul Bell of
Minden, La. at Shreveport in 1928 and
was divorced May 10, 1880. The decree,
obtained in Texas, made no mention Of
the child's custody, it was said. While
the child was with its grandmother in
Louisiana, the husband filed habeas
corpus proceedings in that State and
obtained custody of it.
Mrs. Bell went to Louisiana and took
the child away and then began pro-
ceedings here to establish her custody,
which the local court legalized.

Edwin A. Halsey Scouts Idea
of Breach in Talk to Demo-
cratic Women.

Scouting the idea of breach at the
next Democratic National Convention,
Edwin A. Halsey, assistant sergeant
alarms Of the Senate, told the District
of Columbia Women's Democratic Edu-
cational Council yesterday that If the
Republicans are depending upon Demo-
cratic disSenSion as an asset in the
coming campaign, they are doomed to
disappointment"
after our next convention, when we
have adopted our platform and named
our candidate, you will find the Demo-
Gratis a harmonious party" Halsey de-
clared at a picnic forum in Rock Greek
Park.
Linked with his prediction of Demo-
cratic victory in 1882 was an attack on
the HawleySm tariff.
The speaker gave some highlights of
his 80 years in the Senate. where he
started as page, and described the
Senate as "the greatest institution for
free government that We have"
Its rules, which give free and I'M
limited speech, bark back to the times
of Thomas Jefferson. the father of
Democracy, for it is Jefferson's manual
upon which the rules of the Senate are
founded" he said
