GAVE BABY AWAY GO TO WW TO GET

Little Life Tragedy Mended In Circuit Court Here Saturday Afternoon.

Lawrence R. Beeler, aged four ymonths, who was adopted in the Circuit Court on March 29 by Mr. and •|!m*8. Edwin Wise, and given the name spof Paul Edward Wise, had the adop?f|tion set aside by Judge Gerdink yesterday afternoon, and he was restored ivto his parents at their request. It is f|the only case of the kind that has ever been passed on In the local courts, ^and attorneys familiar with the circumstances say that it is the only one of the kind, with perhaps one exception, that is shown in any of the high--ier court decisions of the country,

The parents of the child, who are

tr quite young, were married in their .'home town In eastern Illinois, and came to this city, where the baby was ^Ifjbora last December. They had been ^married but a comparatively short -fStime when the baby was born, and thinking that some slain might be •iput on him because of this, they de- */. cided to have him adopted by the

Wises, who were without children of '^5 their own. The formal proceedings •|fefor his adoption were put through the

court before Judge Gerdink, and it was Jinoted at the time that the parents ,||were not anxious to give up the cus^||tody of the baby. The court noticed

Hthis and commented on it, but as the parents signified by their petition their I "Willingness to give the child up, and it was being placed in the hands of a •couple who were glad to have it, there r^rwas nothing to be done but grant the

J|prayer of the petition.

v!|

When the parents of the young cou-

"ile learned of the proceedings here, they at once took up the matter ot having the adoption proceedings set aside. Attorney S. P. Douglass, who represented the parents in the original court procedure, also represented them In the new move. The aged parents of the young married couple were present In court, and watched with satisfaction the setting aside of the proceedings which gave their grandchild into the possession of a stranger. The baby, a bright-looking little fellow, was present in court with his own parents and his adopted parents, and there was a happy family reunion of the parents and the grandparents when Judge Gerdink made the order that restored the child to its own parents.

100 SLEUTHS SEEK SLATER.

TaKe Trail of Wealthy Woman Mur^0^Jered In New York. N0W YORK, April 24.—A squad of 100 detectives, the largest ever assigned by central office to a single case, marched out of police headquarters today to seek the man accused of the murder of Mrs. Julia Heilner, wife of Sellgman L. Heilner, a wealthy manufacturer of corsets who •v^as killed in her home in Brooklyn yesterday.

The detectives sought Joseph Hanel, formerly a ship steward and, the police assert, an ex-convict, who had been sent eight days ago to the Heilner home from the Seamans' Church Institute at the request of Mr. Heilner, who sought to furnish employment to some seedy man.

GREAT NAVAL BATTLE SOON TO BE STAGED?

German Fleet Takes to High Seas, and May Meet Jellicoe's Armada At Any Time.

BERLIN, (via the Hague), April 24. —The golden anniversary of tre en trance of Grand Admiral Von Tirpitz into the German navy was tonight made the occasion of great rejoicing by the German people. Just before the admiral left the admiralty offices he was presented with the iron cross of the first class in behalf of the empire. At the same time a telegram from the kaiser was read which •-•onferred on the admiral a heriditarv title and also proclaimed the minister of marine and originator of "the under seas submarine blockade," as the savior of the empire.

Behind the admitted reason for the celebration was a general belief that the nation is on the verge of "creat things" on the sea. The battle fleet is cruising in the North sea. It lias been greatly augmented, how greatly will not be known until the British admiral, Jellicoe, accepts the sage of battle, and from the latest joined naval apprentice to Grand Admiral Von Tlr pltz himself there is a feeling that for the first time the supremacy of the seas claimed by England is to be challenged.

The greatest naval battle of the age, looked for since King George sent Admiral Jellicoe to sea on August 20 last, with instructions to "capture or destroy" the German fleet, can hardly long be avoided. The German fleet has steamed far from Its base and It is freely predicted thai when the great clash comes England will receive a surprise. The British heavy guns are to be met with equally powerful guns and officials say the issue will be far from being a defeat on Germany.

ATTTO T0UB PLANS COMPLETE

Capt. B. E. Stahl, of the Light House mission, has about completed plans for the Lyon evangelistic company's tour of the county in automobiles, Monday. The party will travel more than 100 miles, and will visit twelve cities and towns in the county, taking dinner at Clinton.

Capt. Stahl has issued a call for more automobiles for the trip, and has asked all who have machines and are interested In the work to donate their cars for this occasion. The party will leave the Y. M. C. A. building early in the morning.

RECOGNITION FOR CARRANZA.

WASHINGTON. April 24.—Rumors that General Carranza was about to receive American recognition, which revived tonight with news that a special train had gone from Vera Cruz to bring Duval West, President Wilson's personal representative from Mexico City, and that West would come at once to Washington to report to the chief executive, were not taken very seriously in official circles.

General Villa, it was said, was by no means crushed.

GERMANS TEST ALLIED POWER

the Ypres canal. In this they are aided by the French and Belgiana The fighting is of the most sanguinary character and losses on both sides are admittedly enormous.

The war office, while admitting that the fighting along the British lines is most severe, says it has no knowledge of the outcome. The French and Belgian' carbiners have been successful In fighting on the west bank of the canal. The government, admitting for the first time that the Germans had captured the village of Lizerne, declares that later it was recaptured. The official report declares the French and Belgian forces combined in this work and that in recapturing the village heavy loss was Inflicted on the enemy.

The war office admits that the French troops have evacuated a portion of the German trenches near Apremont which were captured after a desperate fight. In the Argonnes and between the Meuse and the Mioselle, the French are again being violently bombarded by the Germans but up to the present there has been no successful attacks. The Germans have been trying their best to get their "Jack Johnsons" in position to bombard the line of forts from Toul to Verdun. Every attempt to bring the big guns up, however, have been made unsuccessful by the daring French artillerymen.

trial so for that reason I cast my vote 'noei' Explain Their Vote.

When it came time for Councilman-at-large Hanley to vote, he also entered an objection and arose to make a statement to the effect that he felt that the mayor was guilty of only one one of the thirteen charges placed against* him—that of being convicted of a felony—and added that he thought to cast his vote in favor of ousting Roberts from office would mean that he upheld all of the thirteen charges and he said he would not do that so he voted "noe."

Councilman John Savoree, of the First ward, was the third member cf the council to vote against removing the mayor from office and declared that he did not feel the mayor had been given a fair trial and therefore cast his "no" vote.

As soon as all had voted upon the "guilty" and 'not guilty" part of the program, Chairman Skean asked the clerk to announce the result of the vote, which the city clerk, George A. Moorhead, did, saying that seven had voted guilty and three not guilty. Councilman Ohm immediately took the floor and moved that as a result of the vote, the mayor be removed from office. An "aye" and "noe" vote was called on this motion and brought about the same count as before—seven for and three gainst.

Gossom's Address.

Councilman Monninger suggested that it would be a good time to hear from Jatnes Gossom, who would become Acting Mayor in the place of Roberts. Gossom said that he intended to do all that was in his power to enforce the law as it Is written and show favoritism to no one. He said that if nt any time he did anything l'or which he thought the council couid file charges against him as it had against Roberts, that was their business.

oilman Brannin about being advised by Batt to invest the $50,000 in '.ownship road bonds: "The only advice I gave the council on that matter was in regard to the legality of their investing the money in the bonds. I told them that it would be no violation of the law to do so, and after that the matter was left to their own discretion. However, it had been represented to the council by Rob-

erts that there was 5240,00 in the general fund, while as a matter of fact there was only about $75,000. That is the only advice I gave the council. I, too, thought there was $240,000 in the fund."
