Minnesota Is Ruled
Rightful Guardian of
2-Year-Old Gift Baby

HIGHER courts will determine
L Il whether Juliet Korth, az,
gift baby" becomes the adopted
daughter of Mrs. Mabel McCane,
1855 College avenue, or is made a
ward of the state Of Minnesota.
This agreement was reached
today before Juvenile Judge John
F. Geckler when he granted the
state of Minnesota the right to
nurse the gift baby" into adde's
cence but held up her return to
that state pending an appeal on
his decision.
Oblivious to the legal battle in
juvenile court today, the baby who
was given by her mother, Mrs.
Elva Korth of Preston, Mimi, at
birth to Mrs. McCane, played with
toys in a nursery at The Indian
apolis orphans home. She will
remain there until the appeal
from Judge Geckler's decision is
decided by higher courts.
Two women, representing the
state board of control Of Mime
sofa, testified before Judge Geek
Ter that although the mother did
not desire to have Mrs. McCane
keep the baby, that she, too, did
not want the baby.
NNE of the women, Miss Sarah
~ Lowrey, testified that the
mother desired that the baby be
placed in the custody of the state
of Minnesota.
This custody will mean that the
child's home will be an orphanage,
the Minnesota women said.
Miss Lowrey said that religious
differences were partially to blame
for the mothers refusal to per-
NIT the foster mother to have the
child.
Mrs. McCane testified that the
mother had signed an agreement
giving her the child. The actual
gift" is expected to become one
of the legal points to be ruled
upon by higher state courts.
Miss Lowrey testified that the
state of Minnesota had not given
Mrs. McCane legal custody of the
baby.
Fred BonifeId, attorney for
Mrs. McCane, agreed to drop a
habeas corpus action in superior
court five, which sought possess
sion of the baby, if Judge Geek
Ter would keep the baby in the
jurisdiction of Marion county UNI
til the appeal on the judges deci-
cision was adjudicated.
Mr.. Bonifield said that a petit
ton of adoption for Juliet had
been filed by Mrs McCane in pro-
bate court and only awaited final
settlement of the case by higher
courts to be acted upon by the
court.
Mrs. McCane operated a hos
pital in Minneapolis, at the time
of Juliet's birth. The mother gave
her the child. Mrs. McCane then
left Minnesota shortly afterward
and after one year of wandering
with the little girl came to In
dianapolis.
She was arrested ten days ago
on complaint of the child's
mother.

Report after report, telephone
call upon telephone call, has been
received by police from neighbors
near the park pool complaining
that the elevated beach was being
used as a Turkish bath-houSe and
for SOLDERING up.
The patrolmen tried time and
again to break up the parties and
catch them in the pool.
Each time, the 'nudists" would
drop fifteen feet to the ground
below and escape.
THIS morning at 230 a. m. an
Il other call came to police.
Hurry! They're at it again.
They're whooping and hollering
snd-a-hem-they've got nothing
on. There are about six couples"
the voice over the wire said.
The patrolmen stepped on the
gas. At the park they hid their
car. Crawling on hands and
knees, lodging behind bushes, the
patrolmen approached the diving
bathers.
One patrolman ran up one series
of pool steps and the second pa
trolman up another group of
steps. At the pools brink they
found the alleged nudist colony'S
Waterman. He was clothed.
The bulls" he shouted.
Over the pool side, dropping
from walls like monkeys, grabbing
clothing, ran the "bares."
The patrolmen released the
clothed Waterman.
ID UNNING to the other side of
IN the pool they flashed their
light on a couple struggling to get
out of the water.
The light flushed a pile of
clothing nearby. The feminine
bather flushed and grabbed her
garments as patrOlman Smith
neared.
L was dressed, even if my
clothes were wet when he arrested
me" defended Miss Nolan today
before Municipal Judge Dewey
Myers.
Partly dressed-judge! She
wasn't when 1 pushed my flash
light button" broke in patrolnlan
Smith.
What about this drunkenness
charge against you?" asked Judge
Myers.
Il wasn't drinking. I only had
ten glasses of beer" pouted pretty
Miss Nolan.
"She had quite a capacity" in
terrupted James Watson, deputy
prosecutor.
FUDGE I never have been ar
- rested before" pleaded Miss
Watson.
We'll you're lucky the police did
not put more charges against you
than disorderly conduct and
drunkenness. They could under
the ordinances have charged you
with lot of other things. Indi-
annapolis is no place for nudist
colonies, especially in city parks.
Didn't you see a sign there to
keep out?" questioned Judge
Myers.
Yes, we saw the sign" meekly
replied her male companion, New
lille.
Patrolmen said six other couples
escaped from the pool.
Five dollars and costs on the
drunkenness charges, 81 and costs
for diSorderly conduct. and the
latter fine suspended providing
the first fine is paid" ruled Judge
Myers.
The couple were taken to cells
to wait for some one to pay their
fines

Possible StOppage
Of CWA on Feb. 10,
Say Federal Heads
Announce Final Plans
to Taper Off Work
Soon

WASHINGTON, D. C., Jan. 49,
Probable stoppage Of all C.WA. work
on Feb. 10 was announced yesterday
by the Federal C.W.A. Although
when the C.WA. program was start
ed it was definitely stated that all
materials must be purchased with
funds supplied by the local or city
governments. yesterdays statement
issued by the Federal C.W.A. said
that purchases Of materials for
C.W,A. jobs had caused a shortage
OF funds and a possible early closing
Of all C.WA. work"
Earlier in the day, Harry Hopkins,
Federal C.W.A. administrator, stated
that the C.WA. would start it's "ta-
pering off" process on Feb. Is. C.W.A.
workers in Southern states will be
laid-off to insure plantation owners
a plentiful supply Of cheap labor for
spring planting, and rehabilitation
will move northward to permit the
unemployed to starve in the comfort
Of warmer weather.
In advocating this wholesale lay
oil Of C.WA. workers, Hopkins said:
Before 1929 there were some two
million unemployed. should not
be surprised il, after complete eco
nomic recovery we should have
four million unemployed" To Mr..
Hopkins, recovery" is perfectly pos
sible wi four million still unem-
ployed.

Gold Measure SPED
by Congress While
Trade War Grows
Continued from Page y

crouS battle between two House
Committees for the honor" OF hay
ing charge Of it was seized by the
Republicans and turned into weap-
on for political maneuvering against
gag rule. 1t was this that stuck in
the Republicans threats, and not any
particular concern about the Roose-
welt bill itself.
Against Britain
A sharp fight on the floor deyel-
oped-and thus was revealed that
House leaders, at least, are aware
that the most immediate concern of
the Roosevelt keutanants in getting
the program through is to establish
the $2,000,000,000 fund for American
imperialism's currency war for
markets. This is the provision which
beightens the war danger by sharp
ening imperiaNst rivalry between the
U. 8. and Great Britain.
Referring repeatedly to the supreme
urgency of the $4,000, 100000 fund,
Representative Burns of Tennessee,
leader Of the Democrats, finally was
challenged by Representative McFad-
den of Pennsylvania, q Republican,
who wanted to know why such .
tremendous sum should be handed
over to the Secretary of the Treasury.
"Inasinuch as the Bank of Eng
land has $500, 100000 equalization
fund.-" Burns candidly retorted, I'm
sure the President ought TO have
some fund he can use for the benefit
Of the business and commodities of
this country" Burns figure was in
correct: the British have slightly less
than $4,000, 100000.
Burns also asserted that "every
man on the floor Of this House knows
right now how he will vote on this
bill"
Representative Smell of New York,
the Republican leader, sought more
time for consideration of the measure
in view OF its great import several
generations to come"
The conflict on the floor arose when
Democratic leader Burns sought
unanimous consent for consideration
OF the Roosevelt bill as 1t had been
reported favorably early today by the
House Coinage Committee. To this
Committee Speaker Rainey had ruled
the Roosevelt bill should go--despite
the fact that this Committee his
toricaliy and presently is notorious
for its inagnificance both in person
mel and in the legislation II handles
Rainey'S decision was a purely tech
nical one, based on the circumstance
that presidents seemed to him TO be
In favor Of tho Coinage Cosumistes.
