MOTHER Of TWO.
LAYS WOE To
HUSBAND
CoIoneI's Wife, First Witness,
Says He "Took" Daughters;
Mystery Name to Be Barred

Defeated in an attempt to have
the public barred from the hear.
ing, Col. and Mrs. Snowden A.
Fahnstock, socially prominent resi-.
dents of Washington and New.
port, R. l., opened their battle
for custody of their two daughters
before Justice Pyeton Gordon to.
day in District Supreme Court.
The children-Clara, seven, and
Mary Lee, six,-are staying at the
home of Colonel Fahnstock's
mother, Mrs. Carolyn FahnStock,
2300 block Massachusetts Ave. N.
w. They were not in court.
At the outset of proceedings,
Claude R. Branch, of counsel for
Colonel Fahnestock, informed the
court that the name of a person,
not part of the proceedings, was
likely to be brought into the case
and asked for that reason that
the hearing be conducted in
private.
Justice Gordon overruled the
motion.
Mother Takes Stand
Colonel Fahnestock, in his suit
for custody of the children, &C.
cuSed his wife of an infatuation
with socially prominent man In
Newport.
Following an opening statement
by Arthur Phelan, her counsel,
Mrs. Fahnestock took the stand as
the first witness. She related that
she was married in June, 1925,
and, after several years of unhap.
piness, separated from her hus-
band last October.
The following month, she said,
she went to Aiken, S. c., with the
children. She said she made a few
trips to New York to arrange for
the filing of divorce proceedings
against her husband in Newport.
Barred BY Butler, Charge
Mrs. Fahenstock testified that
early this month she instructed
the children's nurse to take them
from Aiken to New York, where
she had made arrangements for
them to enter the Todhunter
school, in which Mrs. Franklin D.
Roosevelt is interested.
The children were taken from
the train in Washington by
Colonel Fahenstock, the mother
testified, the nurse told her upon
her arrival in New York. Mrs.
Fahenstock said she came to
Washington and called at the
Massachusetts, Avenue residence to
see her children. She said:
"A butler peered through the
curtain and came back a little
later with a strange man. The
butler told me that the door
would not be opened"
Mrs. Fahnestock told the court
she engaged local counsel and,
after several futile attempts to see
her children, instituted habeaS
corpus proceedings against her
husband and his mother.
Finds Child Ill
She related that after permis-
sion had been given by the court,
she visited her children and found
that Clara was i'll. The child, she
said, had been shopping that day
in custody of a detective. Mrs.
Fahnestock said she ordered that
the child be put to bed.
In opposition to the wife's
habeas corpus petition, Colonel
Fahnestock filed suit for custody
of the children.

SAYS COMPLETE
TREATMENT
POSSIBLE
Senator King, Others AssaiI
Commissioners Plan;
ICkeS Keeps Silent

Comptroller General j. R. Nc
Carl, watchdog of the Treas
ury," has turned his guns on
the District Building in the fresh
dispute over construction of a
sewage disposal plant here, for
which four million dollars has
been made available by the PWA.
Mr.. McCarl, it was revealed
today, has written the Commis-
SionerS expressing an opinion
that a complete treatment plant
can be construed for this sum.
The Commissioners already have
completed an agreement VITA
Metcalf and Eddy, Boston en-
gineering firm, for design of q
partial treatment plant.
Sides With King
The Comptroller General, siding
with Senator William H. King,
who has threatened a Senate in
vestigation of the matter, and
other officials who have mustered
their forces to bring about
change in the plan, pointed out
in the letter, dated December 81:
"This office is in receipt of a
letter from the firm of M. x.
WiIberding, Stanton L. Dorsey
and F. T. NOrcrOss, of the Dis
trict, which states that New
York has completed plans for q
sewage plant at COney Island
that will be approximately the
same size as the plant proposed
for Washington, and which will
give complete treatment. That
plant will cost less than $4,000
900 to construct"
Mr.. McCarl's letter pointed out
that other plants of similar size
and capacity have been con-
structed in Minneapolis and st.
Paul for less than four million
dollars.
ID. G. Firm Reports
The Washington firm men
toned by Mr.. McCarl has made a
study of the project here, it was
learned, and has made a volun-
tary report to Secretary of the In
terror Ickes and the Commission
ers, declaring the complete treat
ment plant can be constructed
for the sum allotted or a partial
treatment process developed for
less than three million dollars.
Secretary IckeS, all-powerful in
the dispute, sat quietly on the side
lines today but has said he will
oppose any waste of funds. Asked
if he would approve the contract
for a four-billion dollar expendi-
ture on partial treatment plant,
he declared he would "see the Dis
trict get it's moneys worth"
d. C. Heads Reply
The Commissioners, in a reply
to Mr.. McCarl's letter, said they
did not believe it necessary to give
Washington sewage mplete
treatment at this time. Their re-
ply declared:
primary or partial treatment
for some time to come will suf-
flee to prevent nuisance cOndi-
tiOnS in the Potomac River.
There is no public health prob
lem involved.
"The treatment process adopt
ed must be of known reliability.
The District does not care to
gamble four million dollars
upon a treatment process which
has not been successfully dem.
Onstrated in plans of cOmpar-
able size.
"The plant selected by the
Commissioners is one to give
primary treatment. 1t will not
cost more than four million dol
lars and will operate at an
annual cost of $218,OOO."

Security Program
Is Tied by Split
Betueen 2 Houses

Friday IN an effort to work out q
settlement.
Informed seniors have forecast
that the conferees viii fail TO agree
and the dispute viii have to be
carried back to the two houses for
settlement. From the administra-
ton standpoint, however, this
course presents some dangers.
The house has not yet voted on
the private pension amendment.
1t probably would be called upon to
vote first, and II the amendment
should be approved at that end of
the capitol 1t would be In the bill
to stay.
Critics or the amendment con-
tend it would endanger the entire
program and might bring q preSi-
dental veto. They argue the
amendment would permit private
companies to keep their younger
employees In their private system
and leave the older workers for the
government to carry.
On the cher hand, those support
ing the amendment argue that II
would permit some existing private
pension plans, which are more lib
eral than the proposed government
system, 10 continue In operation.
They suggest that without the
amendment these private systems,
some OF which have accumulated
millions Of dollars, would be junked.
Then, II the federal plan were de-
clared invalid. the workers would be
left unprotected, these legislators
argue.
Some believe President Roosevelt
may be called upon to intervene TO
settle the dispute.

NEW ORLEANS. July II. Up
Senator Huey p. Long apparently
has rounded out his Louisiana
dictatorship" by gaining virtually
complete control Of New Orleans.
District Attorney Eugene Stanley,
his bitter enemy. resigned Thursday
night, and State Senator Charles
A. Byrne. a Long supporter. was
quickly sworn In to succeed him.

Supporters Of Mayor T. Semmes
WalmsIey deserted him In the
meantime to make peace with
Longs state administration, but
Walmsley reiterated he was not
going TO quit.
Six special sessions Of the legis-
lature, directed by the senator,
wrote the end TO local self gov
eminent in New Orleans. The last
one, completed Monday, took away
Walmsley's city patronage and
stripped the city Of its tax collect
ing authority.
The session also made District
Attorney Stanley's assistants and
clerical help appotntive by the at
torney general.
Stanley said some Of his assistant
d1trict attorneys were already de-
sorting him In the hope Of obtain
ing reappointment by the attorney
general.
He said ne realized he could not
hope to efficiently conduct the Of
flee, in the future with assistants
and an office force disloyal" TO him.
"By freeing myself Of the respon-
sibilities OF the district attorneys
office, I shall be able to devote my
every effort to assist IN restoring
constitutional government in Louis
lana, which I now pledge myself 70
do" Stanley said.
Oscar r. Whilden, official Of the
statewide Anti-Loug Square Deal
association, pledged Mayor Walms-
ley the unanimous physical sup
port" Of the association.
Used Soldiers
Long, formerly q political asso-
ciate Of Walmsley, started his bat
tie to defeat the mayors old reg
uIar political ring IN January, 1888,
but the mayors candidates were
victorious.
Long then startled the nation IN
the militaristic September, 1884,
campaign In which his candidates
defeated walmsley's and broke the
old regular rule.
At voting time, Long called 1000
national guardsmen under his
command. The voting, however,
was peaceful
Since then, laws passed by Longs
oSedient legislature have stripped
Walmsley Of all his control Of city
affairs and litigation has tied up
