nickel, saying she could use it for car
fare and get to the meeting place. She

Mother Gives Up Her
Baby to Regain Home ]
Young Woman Chooses Comfort With
Family to Poverty After Run-
Away Marriage.
KANSAS CITY, July 18.—When the
alternative of her baby or her family
was placed before Mrs, Pearl Baker
in the Juvenile Court, Mrs. BakKer,
without a tear, without even a fare
well kiss, gave up her baby and her
husband and went back to her family,
She handed the baby to a court at
tendant, straightened a wrinkle in her
stylish tallored suit and left the
courtroom to board a train for her old
home in Pittsfield, Mass.
Mrs. Raker is the daughter of a
‘widely known family of Pittsfield and
her sister is the wife of a State of
ficial. She was married to Baker
against the wishes of her family, and
they refused to recognize her so long
as she remained with him. Baker was
poor, and they resolved to go West
and make a new start, They came
to Kangas City three months ago. A
few weeks later a son was born.
" The husband failed to find stear]y{
‘employment in Kansas City and two
weeks ago went to the Kansas har
vest fields, leaving his wife practically
penniless with neighbors until he
could make some money.
' Her family heard of her plight. Im
'mediately they telegraphed her a}
ticket to Pittsfleld, but on condition]
that she give up both husband and
baby. The family had struck the‘
psychological moment. ‘
Judge Porterfield made the baby a
ward of the Juvenile Court and it was
put out for adoption. |

HEARST'S SUNDAY AMERICAN, ATLANTA, GA, SUNDAY, JULY 19, 1914
Gtus Edward’s Song Act One of the Features at
the Forsyth.
" Mlle. Odette Le Fontenay, who was
engaged to be one of the starg of the
Oscar Hammerstein New York Grand
Opera Company, and who has filled
some important positions in musical
successes both in FKurope and in
America, is the newest star, in modern
vaudeville, and is to be the feature of
the bill announced for the Forsyth
daily matinee and evening perform
ances this week.
It is a remarkable fact that within
the last year some. of the great stars
of the dramatic world have been en
listed in the vaudeville army, and now
it appears the managers are after the
greatest stars of the musical comedy
and operatic world. -
Mile. Le Fontenay was a pupll of
the world-famous Jean de Reszke and
has sung leading roles in “Pagliaci,"
“Carmen,’ “Madam Butterfly” and
“La Boheme” in royal opera in Spain,
and her success in Paris as “Loulse”
was what attracted the attention of
the famous Hammerstein and brought
about her engagement.
Of course, comedy will play an im
portant part in the general make-up
of the bill, and one fo the comedy fea
tures will be Emmett Devoy and com
pany in a domestic playlet, “The Old
Hag.” The sketch deals wth the
mother-in-iaw topic, but in a way
that is thoroughly surprising. The
mother-in-law has had to stand the
short end of most of the jokes that
have heen given the world, but now
comes an author with a play and the
mother-in-law is the idol. The sketch
has been played with marked success
in the principal theaters, and comes
to the Forsyth as a special feature.
William Sisto, a character come
dian of real quality, a success on every
vaudeville bill, will present his spe
cialty, “The Italian Statesman.” The
entertainer deals with politice accord
ing to the views of the “wop,” and
there are funny ideas that will surely
entertain. Another feature on the hill
will be the appearance of Gus Ed-

INDIANAPOLIS, July 18 —Frank Ley

wards’ song act. This act is made |lp‘
of some of the boys and girls who
were seen here with the Edwards song
revue. It is not a big act of that sort,
but there are clever juvenile enter
tainers, who will sing Edwards’ song
hits after the fashion the composer
intended. Helene Hamilton and Jack
Barnes, who have been successful In
vaudeville, will present their “Just for
Fun” specialty, and others who will
contribute to the merrymaking and
entertainment will be Dupree and Du
pree in a novel specialty, and Deßen
zo and La Due in a specialty that has
a good reputation in the circuits.
Forsytn attendance has been up to
the history of past summers, and the
comforts of the theater have never
been better appreciated than at this
heated time.
Bijou Is to Present
Favorite Lena Rivers
For the week beginning to-morrow
afternoon the Jewell Kelley Company
will offer the ever-popular comedy ru
ral drama, “Lena Rivers,” in response
to the many requests made by patroas
of the Bijou for this play.
The four acts are lald in the beauti
ful country districts of Kentucky, and
will be produced under the personal
stage supervision of Nr. Kelley. The
story of the play is too well known
for rehearsal, and the characters have
been cast as follows:
Durward Belmont, Vernon Wallace;
Harry Graham, Charles J, Lammers;
John Livingstone, T. C. McDonougi;
Joel Slocum, Earl Higley; Josiah Sc.-
vendyke, D. C. Manley, Granny Nich

The story of “Lena Rlvers” s
wholesome and especially appealing
to matinee audiences, containing a
love story of unusual interest, and
holding attention from start to finish.

A FRANK STATEMENT
Correcting Garbled and Partial Newspaper Accounts
“Truth Less Than the Whole Truth Is No Truth”
The Empire Life Insurance Co., Solvent and Prosperous
The Atlanta Constituticn, under
date of July 18, purports to give an
account of a bill filed for the purpose
of putting The Empire Life Insurance
Company in the hands of a receiver
on the 6th of March, 1914. The ac
count published in The Constitution
{s so inaccurate and so_ unjust to the
company that it is deemed appropri~-
ate, in the first place, to warn the
public against reports appearing in
certain newspapers as to the proceed
ings that are being taken in the pres
ent case against The Empire Life In
surance Company, and also to set out
precisely the truth as to the bill which
was filed last March.
It is true that on the 6th of March,
1914, there was presented to one of
the judges of the Superior Court of
Fulton County a petition of two
stockholders of this company setting
up certain facts and praying for the
appointment of a receiver, and a rule
to show cause was granted upon this
petition, and the officers of the com
pany acknowledge service upon it,
These stockholders were entirely
friendly to the company; and it Is
true that this bill was filed after a
conference between the stockholders
and the president of the company and
the general counsel and certaln of
the officers and directors of the com
pany, But this bill was flled for a
particular, specific purpose, and it was
stated to the judge of the Superior
Court at the time the bill was filed
that the danger which confronted the
company at that time might not ma
terialize, in which event the bill would
not be pressed. The grounds set
forth {n that bill, to which any mem
ber of the public is entitled to have
access, were that an examiner of the
Insurance Department of this State
had filed a report in which he had
charged the company with certain
items as liabilities which had never
been charged to the company before,
and which it would be unlawful for
the company to pay, amounting to
more than $100,000; that the company
had sold $250,000 of stock In Augusta,
Ga., and at that time a dissension had
rrisen between the l)lx‘trd of directors
and its Augusta stockholders, and the
Augusta stockholders were seeking to
rescind their contract or gubscription
and to hold up $250.000 of the com
pany's money which was deposited
in one of the banks in Augusta, and
that owing to the fact pending an in
vestigation of these matters the In
«urance Commigsioner was holding up
the company's annual license, which
should have been granted the Ist day
of March, and which up to that date,
namely, the 6th day of March, had
not been granted, it was necessary to
take some action to prevent the Au
gusta stockholders from rescinding
their contracts and holding up this
cum of $250,000 in prejudice to the in
terests of other stockholders in tho
company. It was alleged In this bill
that if the company was required to
pay these amounts of money (he
company would be insolvent and
could not continue the insurance busi
ness, and that it would be necessary
to appoint a recelver to reinsure its
business so that {itg policyholders
could be protected, and to distribute
the remainder of {its assets to Its
stockholders.,
Immediately following the filing of
the bill all of the matters which made
the fillng of It seem expedient in or
der to force equality among stock
holders were relieved, because, UPON

Even Pick Teeth
SPRINGFIELD, MO,, July 18 —Mem
bers of Springfield’'s police force Tu“
pick their teeth and do thelr smoking
at home as a result of an order i’u“
made by Chief of Police Thomas Hun
ter.
l.lwl«a. has Instructed the forty men that
being seen smoking or picking teeth
while on duty will be sufficient cause
for suspension. He told them that
either practice Is beneath a policeman's
dignity. e ‘
TER, 1t was found that certain inac
curaclies had been made in the pre
liminary report which had been fil2d
by the examiner of the Insurance De
partment, and that the company was
not llable for the $95,000 which was
asserted to be a llability, and that the
company was entitled to its license.
In this investigation the company's
position was fully vindicated, and it
was so thoroughly conducted as to
satisfy fully the Augusta stockhold
ers, and they thereupon became loyal
friends of the company, and the
money in the Augusta bank was made
avallable for the use of the company,
and since that time has been put into
the erection of the building in Augus
ta, which is to be the home office cf
the company upoen its removal to Au
gusta. With the exception of not
exceeding three stockholders in the
city of Augusta, every single one of
the large number of stockholders in
this company in and about Augusta,
after a full Investigation had been
made of the company's affairs, came
into the stockholders’ meeting and
promised the company their loyal and
enthustastic support, and the compa
ny, at its last stockholders’ meeting,
at which there was one of the largest
attendances ever had at a stockhold
ers' meeting, by unanimous vote, set.
tled all the matters necessary for this
company’s carrylng out its formeor
plang of moving to Augusta and con
tinuing its business there.
So that, while in March the com
pany's ability to continue In business
was threatened by internal dissen
sions, these dissensions were thor
oughly and utterly wiped out and the
company's stockholders are now, with
the excepiion of one or two persons,
in complete harmony and unison, and
all the reasons for the flling of the
former bill have finally and fully
ended, and for that reason was nev
er heard of again.
The need at that time for receiv
ership was not on acgount of any in
solvency of the company, for the
company was not insolvent, but it
wae on account of the fact that the
Augusta stockholders were threaten
ng to bring suit to hold up the
$250,000 of the company's money,
which was In bank at Augusta at that
time, as the proceeds of the sale of
the stock to the Augusta stockhold
ers,
Irdeed, 8o thoroughly has all dis
agreement with the Augusta stock
holders been relieved, when this pres
ent bill by Judge Brown was filed,
they got together in Augusta and
cmployed counsel to intervene for
them in this sult and to make de
fense against it, and are actively as
sisting the company in the defense
of the present litigation, which is be
ing prosecuted by a single stockhold
er against the company. The perfect
harmony and confidence existing be
tween this company and its stock
holders and policyholders at
this time is also evidenced
by the fact that as a result of news
paper publications which have been
made since the pendency of this suit,
brought by a single stockholder, the
company has received hundreds—it
would be more accurate to say thou
sands—of letters protesting against
the proceeiing and expressing con
fidence in the company.” :
The public should furthermore un

Registered in Maiden Name, but
Will Be Wed Before Time
Comes to Cast Ballot.
SAN FRANCISCO, July 18-—Most
people when taking out marriage li
censes are apprehensive about what
the future may hold for them in the
more or less troubled state of matri¢
mony. Not so with Miss Cora Smed
berg, daughter of the late Colonel and
Mrs. Wm. H. Smedberg, who took out
license to wed Charles Norton Felton,
Jr., ot Menlo Park, son of former
United States Senator Felton.
The only cloud upon Miss Smed
berg's brow was occasioned by her
anxiety as to whether she would lose
her vote at the forthcoming election
by changing her name prior to that
event.
“How about my vote?’ she anx
jously queried of “Cupid”’ Munson. “I
am registered under the name of
Smedberg, and as [ am to be mar
ried before election, will I lose my
vote?”
And while the bride and bride
groom-to-be waited “Cupid” lunged
into the lawbooks. He could find
nothing on the subject, however, the
question never having been put in

iner of the Insurance Department, it
wias not intimated or suggested that
this company was insolvent; on the
other hand, it showed that the com
pany was solvent and amply able to
take care of its every obligation, and
a 8 has been previousiy stated, upon
a hesaring it wag discovered that tne
preliminary report of the examiner
which, though honestly made, con
tained inaccuracies, owing to the
fact that the examiner did not have
before him full information as to
the matters as to which he had re
ported; and upon the further infor
mation coming in, and upon the rul
ings of the Insurance Commissioner,
under the advice of the Attorney
General, a new examination was
made, the inaccuracies and errors
were corrected and a new report filed
showing the company thoroughly and
abundantly solvent. This erroneous
ande preliminary report was never
made as an official report to the de
partment, nor was it ever accepted
asg such,
Notwithstanding that the examin
er of the Insurance Department who
filed this report testified during the,
present week that this preliminary
report did contaln inaccuracies, and,
notwithstanding that he testifles that
even his preliminary report did not
show the company to be insolvent
and that on the contrary it showed
that the company, during the last
two years, had done a successful and
profitable business, glving the figures
to show these facts certain newspa
pers have attempted to garble the
testimony of this examiner as if he
had filed a report which showed the
company to be insolvent, and had
been losing money. This examiner
further tostified that unless this com
pany was beset with further litiga
tion, and if it was allowed to go on
and continue its business in the man
ner in which it had been carrying it
on for the last two vears, that it
would, in his judgment, be in posi
tion to pay substantial dividends to
its stockholders in the near future.
He further testified that from his ex
amination, which was most thor
oughly made, he found that every
dollar received by the officers of this
company had been honestly account-

public which is interested in the af
fairs of this company, should be ac

publishing, with apparent delibera

sert this advertisement to give out
this Information. We do not care
to try our litigation in the newspa

company's business is such as to
make it extremely sensitive to any
unfair or any inaccurate reports of
matters relating to it.
Although the reporter of The Con
stitution tried to make it appear that
the filing of a former bill was a sen
sational plece of news, Mr. Latimer,
of counsel for the petitioner, stated
that he had r{velved thig information
from two sources, one being Judge
Powell, of counsel for defense, and
the other a director of the company,
thus showing that no secret was
made of the filing of such petition for
injunction after the necessity for
such step ceased to exist.

Easy to Go to Hell
But Delaware Churchfolk Are Going
to Change Names of Towns a
Century Old,
HARRINGTON, DEL.. July 18—
Placed under the ban by church people,
Little Heaven and Little Hell, two Del
aware towns, soon will lose their ap
pellati sns. The churchfolk have decid
ed the names are profane and have be
gun a novement to have them changed.
The \wo towns are within half a mile
of each other on the road leading to
Bower's Beach. Veteran residents de
clare they were named nearly a cen
tury ago when a party of excursionists
was attacked while en route to the
Delaware Bay shore.
As they arrived in one of the cross
road towns a member of the party ex
claimed: “This is little hell!"” referring
to his state of mind odccasloned by the
attack. Further along the road the
flghting subsided and they declared it
was ‘‘little heaven,”” compared to the
first village.
~ Although they do not appear in the
list of postoffices, mall addressed either
to Littie Heaven or Littie Hell is sure
of reaching its destination,
