MRS. BURR

ATLANTIC CITY, NJ, May II
O.NS0.-Three thousand dele
gates and visitors to the general
conference of the Methodist Epis-
copal Church arose and applauded
wildly for several minutes today
when Bishop James Cannon, jr.,
who is attending the conference
as a guest, limited that a third
party might result if the two
major parties insisted upon de-
claring for wet plank in their
platforms. He roared:
"We will not stand for wet
planks in party platforms. We
will not stand for wet candi-
dates, and, if such things hap
pen, then there will be a united
front of prOhibitiOniStS to see
that they are beaten"
He declared that prohibition
was the most vital question con-
nected with moral problems con-
fronting the nation, and he re-
minded his listeners that he had
predicted four years ago that any
wet candidate put up for the
presidency would be beaten.

EDITH RILEY
WILL LEAVE
HOSPITAL
Dr.. Joseph L. Gilbert Tells
Court Girl Needs, No
Further Treatment

Judge Mary O'Toole in
Juvenile Court today com
mitted Edith Riley, the coup
board child" to the care of
the Board of Public Welfare
during her minority, with the
recommendation that the child
be placed in the custody OF
her grandmother, Mrs. Anna
Annadale.
The arrangement apparently is
satisfactory to all parties con
cerned.
The principal witness before
the court today was DR.. Joseph
L. Gilbert. of the Gallinger Hos
pital staff. The child has been
under his close observation since
November 6 last, when she was
taken to the institution.
He said she was in a very seri'
Gus condition both mentally and
physically when she came there
She was enaciated and weak, and
could answer questions only with
a single word.
Now Active Normally
She has improved very rapidly
however, DR.. Gilbert said. She
now responds to questions nor
mally. She has gained in weight
and is normally active.
He said there was no question
as to her eventual physical re
covery. When she came to Gal.
linger she was Of the mental age
of four years, the doctor said, but
later tests made her mental age
six years and six to eight months,
DR.. Gilbert said that special
educational facilities would be re
quired for her and that year
and a half to two years probably
would be required for her mental
development.
No Original Defects
He diagnosed her case as one
of functional retardation. He did
not consider that there was any
original defects. She should be,
he said, in the future given
mental examinations once or
twice a year. She needs no
further disqualification.
The grandmother was repre-
sented by Attorney Martin j. Nc
Namara. Mrs. Annadale had
charge of the child until about
four-and-a-half years ago.
AS an aftermath to the Edith
Riley case her brother, Francis,
Is, was entrusted to the care Of
his aunt, Mrs. Arthur c. Will
liamS, of Hyattsville.
Appealed to Times
Edith, after a little more than
seven months in the care of the
hospital, would hardly be recog-
nized as the unfortunate little
creature, speechless and almost
without power to move either
hands or feet, released from her
closet prison last fall through
the agency of The Washington
Times.
The father and step-mother,
Harry and Elsie Riley, are now
serving two-year sentences for
miStreatment of the child.
