COURT ALLOWS FRANTIC MOTHER CUSTODY OF HER FOUR CHILDREN
Out of the foreign settlement In tho north end has come a remarkable story of mother love, how Mrs. Joe Barbarossa, the" mother of four children, whose husband is a fugitive murderer, having slain the rival for his wife's affections, left Richmond with her, little ones and succeeded in getting to the homo of a sister, in Meadville, Pa., despite every effort made by Secretary Melpoldcr of the Social Service Bureau to take tho children away from the Roman and sent them to a Catholic home in Terre Haute.' When the frantic mother learned that it was the intention of Secretary Melpolder to take her beloved little ones from her she sobbingly pleaded that she be permitted to retain the custody of the children, and was told that she was soon. to become a mother again it wa thought best that the old, er children be placed in an institution eo that she could devote all her cars to the baby. Then, north end mission workers declare, Mrs. Barbarossa, in e supremo effort to retain .the custody of her children, attempted to kill her unborn child. Woman Relates Her Story. "That baby, he not Jive. I strike heem strike hcem strike heem," she screamed when relating her story to
mission workers. And it was decided by those who heard the woman's story of supreme sacrifice that her mother-love was. like any normal woman's, beyond all understanding, and it was easy to believe the reports of Mrs. Barbarossa' neighbors that she had threatened to kill herself if deprived of her four children. A reversal of Judge Fox's order for the removal of the Barbarossa children to the Terre Haute institution was easily obtained when he learned of the woman's great love for her little ones. "I believe she can be trusted with the care of the children," remarked Judge Fox Jn reversing his order. So it came to pass that friends of the woman. raised a- purse for her and sent her and the children to Meadville, and it is told how she embraced and showered kisses upon a court attache, one she had
once regarded as an "enemy," as she J

whlch was to send them to an lustltu
tion. It was the plan to get the children out of the city as soon as possible. It was feared that .if Mrs. Barbarossa was to retain the custody of her children the entire family would become public charges. Mrs. Candler, mission workers state, went to the Barbarossa home but found it locked and returned without the children. Her failure greatly displeased the social service bureau secretary. Mission workers . say that when Mrs. Candler, and a police officer approached the Barbarossa home the oldest child, a girl, fled with the smaller children out the back door, darted down alleys and cross lots and entered the mission house screaming, "the police are after us.', The children were cared for there. Later, the court1 "was notified that the woman and her children could find a
home with a sister in Meadville and
that friends would send them there if
the court would permit, and the court

WASHINGTON The Vcpel offering at the Washington Wednesday Is quite out of the ordinary. Yes, there Is minstrelsy, but there is so much else that one loses Eight of the conventional picture nuggested by the word. And minstrel people, too, for there is Arthur Deming. Tommy Donnelly, Charles Hildreth, Ted Godfrey, The Two Macks, Skinny Lamont and the Ruzzotto Sextette, to say nothing of the dozen or more singers and dancers, band, orchestra, etc. There are thirty or more of the blacked-up boys who appeal to one's risibilities and there is the beautiful Colonial First Partt the ont part of minstrelsy that pleases everyone. MURRAY When New York audiences sit through an entire hot summer evening laughing and applauding a play and when the curtain drops about eleven o'clock, they continue their laughter end applause and Insist on a dozen bows by the company, it is safe to characterize the play as an unusual hit. Such was the case with "A Full

nite discussion of the peace which shall end the present war. We - are that much nearer the discussion of the international concert which must hereafter hold the world at peace." Awaits Public Verdict While the president is looking to Europe with the most profound interest In the effect his pronouncement may have upon the governments and peoples of the warring nations, he awaits with equal eagerness the verdict to be given by the American public after mature deliberation upon the course he has championed before the world. It is known that he realizes
the tremendous opposition at home to
be overcome before the United States can take a place in a world alliance to preserve peace, even though that
alliance be based upon 6uch a peace
as he outlined as the condition a peace founded on the , equality of rights of nations, right feling among nations and the eliminiation of organized rivalries. Open opposition to his ideals already has been expressed among Republicans of the senate, and the inherent aversion of a1 large part of the people generally to any suggestion of a departure from the tradi
tional policy of America is fully recognized. ' , .... Expects Bitter Criticism - The. president is said to believe, however that a full understanding of his reasons for holding that it would be impossible for the United States to remain neutral through another great war and a realization of the part their country can play in advancing civilization, these difficulties will be swept away. Bitter criticism from Europe and denunciation of the American president for what will be called attempting to prescribe the terms upon which
the great powers at war shall lay down their arms, 1b expected. Nevertheless, the administration Is confident that eventually substantial good will come of Mr. - Wilson's unprecedented course. It la pointed out that he did not mean to Imply that the American , government would throw any obstacles in the way of any terms of peace the' nations at war might agree upon, but merely expressed tho opinion that no peace could endure that was ; not' "made secure by the organized major , force of mankind," and stated the conditions upon which the United States would feel free to take part in that great enterprise.
RICHMOND FACTORY
- Continued from page One the present law. The compensation in 75 percent of the states is fifty percent. No material change In this percentage has taken place since the Indiana law was enacted two years ago. The purpose of the fourteen day period is to prevent dishonest employes from seeking recompense for injuries that are not reasonably serious and worthy of compensation. Only five states have a rate higher than the Indiana basis of 55 percent. Every phase of Industry in Indiana excepting the farmer, is affected by the Indiana law. The small store owner and the struggling factory owners are hit as hard as the large corporation, the result being that increase
tf rate would be a serious menace to the small business man and to the persons who have their savings Invested in small factories. . . ..-.: ' ' " Change Unnecessary Now. r Fredericks pleaded for the postponing of the. change until a few years later. Sixteen months of trial have
