IPH! MOTHER TOPS Ml INTO HANDS OF LAW Wealthy Coal Man Is Alleged Father of Five Illegitimate Children. RELEASED ON $5,000 BAIL ‘Daddy’ Is ‘Daddy’ to His Kiddies and They Come to His Defense. Bn United PrtM CHICAGO. Jan. 10.— John S. Curtin, wealthy coal man, was trapped into the hands of the law today by Miss Kathleen Morrell, the “other woman,” mother of five of his children. Miss Morrell succeeded in causing Curtin's arrest after police had failed to find him. On advice of her attorney she swore out a warrant for him to meet her. Curtin kept the appointment. He was telling her of his plans to take her and the five children to a quiet country home where they could find peace. Police entered and arrested him. Curtin at first attempted to deny his identity, but later consented to accompany the officers to headquarters where he was released on {5,000 bond. Mies Morrell was arrested on charges preferred by Mrs. Curtin, accusing her of associating with her husband for twelve years as his wife. Children I>efend “Daddy” “Daddy” Is “Daddy” to the five alleged children of Curtin and Miss Morell. Without knowing that “Mother” is charged by the legal Mrs. Curtin with being the mistress of her husband for twelve years, the children, ranging from 2 to 10, came to the defense so “Daddy” today. “Daddy was a traveling man," Kathleen, eldest of the quintette, declared, as she minded her younger brothers and sisters. “He sold gum machines. He didn't come home very often. Sometimes once a week and sometimes not for two or three weeks.” Brought Presents “When he came home he always brought presents,” Stanley, the second child, asserted, and Jeannette and Alice, 6 and 4, respectively, joined in the chorus of praise. The baby. Rose, was in her crib. “He told us stories every night im was home, all about animals and fairies and things,” Jeannette said. "He would sit in his smoking jacket and slippers while mama wash-.! the dishes, and tell us about Santa Claus, too.” “Oh, we had just a wonderful Christmas.” Kathleen broke in. “We had lots more presents than our friends got. Daddy gave us a big ' ’hristmas tree and every single thing we asked for. “After dinner Daddy took us all to the show. He used to take us to the movies often, but Christmas he took us to a real show. “Stan and I go to school and Daddy used to help us with our studies. We made pretty good marks in school.” MOTORIST SLATED •Jerry Dooty, 40, of 1533 Sauley St., was arrested Tuesday night on charges of operating an automobile while under the influence of liquor and drunkenness.

The tragic death of Archie Eldridge, 6, colored, 1240 Erehart St., Tuesday noon, aroused the police department to conditions which teachers at No. 64 school say exist at the crossing. No policeman has been stationed at the crossing at the hours when children going to and from school cross the many tracks. The school building is located a block south of the crossing and 175 children attend the school. Almost one-half of these are forced to cross the rail road tracks. The Eldridge boy, who was on his way home from school, was crushed under the wheels of fast inbound passenger train No. 15.

Melody Unmarred by Scratch or Scrape OUR announcement ot anew record with the old irritating surface sounds conspicuously absent created a tremendous --iterest. The way the public rushed to put them tc the test proved that needle noise, heretofore an unavoidable part of every phonograph record, had filed their nerves raw. And what did they find ? They found every word we said about Columbia New Process Records was true. They found musical beauty they never knew existed. Delicate phrasing came out that surface noise had always drowned. They discovered inflections of voice and instrument that had always been blurred by scratch and scrape. To-night, give your folk* a treat and a surprise. Take home one of these new selections, out to-day, with the quietest surface ever produced. Whether they dance or not, take home “Who Cares ?”, anew spasm of syncopated ecstasy by Eddie Elkins’ Orchestra. Paired with it is “Blue,” another fox-trot so joyous you’ll wonder why the melancholy name. Tear out this list and take it to a Columbia Dealer and ask to hear these records. Whether it is dance music, popular songs, old-fashioned melodies, instrumental or symphony selections vou enjoy most, you’ll find Columbia New Process Records far superior because of extra recording care and the absence of intrusive scratch and scrape.
