MOTHERS’ GROUP ACTS TO AVERT BABY jMUFFLES Only 100 Show Up at Mass Meeting; Committees Are Appointed. *•/ T'nitrd Press CHICAGO, Aug. I.—The Associated Mothers of Illinois, Inc., were balked today in efforts to examine the Bamberger-Watkins infants, principals in Chicago’s far-famed baby mixup.' But that didn't bother the Associated Mothers- Mrs. Grace Dibrell, president, ordered 5,000 seats and a loud speaker placed in the crystal ballroom of the Hotel Sherman. And the Associated Mothers met anyway, to consider ways and means to prevent any more such embarrassing tangles of babies. i Only 100 Show Up Only 100 associated mothers appeared. So Mrs. Dibrell had the 4.900 seats left folded up and the loud speaker shut off, whereupon the Associated Mothers got down to business. First. they heard William Watkins, introduced as one of ’’the heart-broken fathers.’’ “I hope no one ever has to go through such an experience," said he. The Associated Mothers “thektheked" their sympathy, then called upon Health Commissioner Arnold Kegel. Kegel said he believed Watkins’ baby now was in the home of Mr. and Mrs. Charles Bamberger, and vice-versa. ’‘lt's a terrible situation." Kegel added. ‘‘Thck, thek," said the Associated Mothers. All Had Ideas Rcgel spoke at length, despite interruption by one after another of the associated mothers, most of whom had their own opinions about babies in general and the babies of Watkins and Bamberger in particular. Associated mothers then appointed a half dozen or so committees, including a committee on committees, and announced they hoped to arrive at some agreement to submit to the Illinois legislature for consideration as an anti-mixed-up-baby-statute. Baqiberger and his wife previously had informed the associated mothers that little Charles Edward Bamebrger, the baby they got from the hospital, was not for examination. "He's our baby,” said the Bambergers, "and we re not going to have him prodded by a lot of women trying to prove he's not.” Goes to Country Watkins’ wife, meanwhile, had taken the infant she had to the country, pending outcome of a SIOO,000 suit against the hospital where the infants were born on the same day and then either delivered to the wrong mothers or else tagged with the wrong labels. Absence of the principal somewhat nonplussed Mrs. Dibrell, but in holding the meeting for all that, she announced that maybe the associated mothers could do the most good by making it impossible for future similar mixups to occur.

is alleged to have stolen an automobile, and then a girl. The Negro held up Robert Goodwin. Negro, 606 West Twenty-fourth street, taxi driver, police say, and stole his cab on Northwestern avenue. With the cab, half an hour later, the Negro is said to have kidnaped Miss Marie Thompson, 17, Negro, 524 North New Jersey street, from Martindale avenue and Twentysecond street. The girl was talking with Thomas Mansfield, Negro, 2205 Alvord street, when the stolen cab was driven up. Mansfield was

threatened with a revolver and the girl forced into a cab, according to police. The girl returned home an hour later. The cave-man bandit, she said, attempted to force his attentions on her at Douglas park. She leaped from the cab and slammed the door. The bandit jumped out, grabbed her, slapped her face and dragged her back to the automobile, where he compelled her to open the door and close it softly, she said. "Never slam a car door, he warned her, she told police today. The Negro has not been found.
