Woman Toils Long in
Hope of Recovering
Tots from Relatives
WORKING day after day at the
hardest kind of labor in order
to obtain money enough to bring
her family from Nashville, Term., to
Los Angeles, where her two children
had been sent by their father pawling
his efforts to obtain a divorce, Mrs.
Suslo A. Roberts arrived hero yester
day morning and' tomorrow will Insti
tute proceedings, she says, to obtain
her little ones, who urn now at the
home of Rev. and Mrs. E. J. Harper,
822 Wilton place. •■
The story told by Mrs. Roberts yes
terday reveals a triumph of mother
love over hardships well calculated to
daunt the hardiest. Domestic troubles,
In which un unsuccessful attempt at
divorce was made by her husband,
were followed by the taking away of
her boy and girl by Mrs. Harper at
his Instigation, she declares, and month
after month the plucky woman was de
prived of their society.
Mrs Roberts la the Blster-ln-law of
the, wlfo of Rev. E. J. Harper, who
was until recently city forester and Is
a brother of former Mayor A. C.
Harper. Two years ago Mrs. Harper,
so says Mrs. Roberts, visited her
brother In Nashville, and shortly after
the children disappeared. .
Mrs. Roberts and her husband were
not living together at that time, as the
former was seeking a divorce. For
weeks, Mrs. Roberta says, she thought
her children were-with their father,
and not until some timo hail elapsed
was she informed of their absence. She
was not told with whom the little ones
were living, and was kept in complete
ignorance of their whereabouts.
. Tolls In Laundry
After his unsuccessful efforts ,to ob
tain a divorce Mr. Roberts was rejoined
by his wife, but even then the children
were not returned to Nashville. With
out the knowledge of her husband, Mrs.
Roberts want to work In a laundry,
and month after month sho toiled to
have money enough to purchase a
ticket to Los Angelea, where she be
liovod her children to be. ■
, Airs. Roberts arrived her« yes yd ay
morning, and Immediately Bought the
- Harper residence, where she felt sure
somo trace of her children could be
obtained. Because of being misdirected
»ho walk.* fifty-two blocks before
learning her mistake, »nd at this point
was advised to, seek an attorney and
lay her case before him. The pathos
In her story appealed to Attorney
George W. Pearson, and he is prepar
ing to bring whatever legal action Is
necessary to secure the children for
their mother.
Tired from her long walk on the hard
pavements and worn out because of the
tedious Journey from Nashvlllo to Los
Angeles, Mrs. Roberts told her story
yesterday. - Her youth, for she Is but
24 years old, has helped her materially
to bear her burdens, and despite the
fatigue resultant on the last few days,
she was willing to talk of her children.
"I know they are here," she declared.
"For nearly two years I have missed
them every day and every night, and
now that they are so close I feel j can
hardly wait to clasp them In my arms.
But my lawyer • advises waiting until
legal action can be brought to secure
them, and I suppose I must do with
out them until Monday.
Learns They Are Here
"The children were spirited i away
while I was estranged from their fath
er, and for four months I supposed
they were with him. Then I learned
they were gone and knew my only
salvation was to wait. One day I in
tercepted a letter to Mr. , Roberts, and
from that I learned they were in Los
Angeles with the Harpers, who appar
ently desired to keep them.
"It was then I started to work In a
laundry, for I know Mr. Roberts would
not give me money to 'come to Los
Angeles. Day after day I toiled away
without his knowledge, until finally I
had enough to purchase a round trip
ticket.- 1 arrived here with but little
in my pocket, and felt I needed what
I had, so tried to walk in search of
my babies. , ■
"Now that I am here I will stay until
they givo -me back my children. I
have worked before and can do so
again. X want my children and I will
support them. I fear they have been
. told they had no other parents than
those with whom they are living here,
for they were bo small when taken
away they could not know the differ
ence. But they will-know their mother
once they see hef—nature will teach
them that much." .
Mrs. Roberts stated the children were
taken from her when they were 3 and
5 years old, . respectively. The boy,
»Richard Samuel, is now 7 years old,
and his sister. Myrtle Annie, is two
years his Junior. Mr. Roberts is much
• older than his wife-.
Charge False, Says Mr. Harper
Rev. K. J. Harper said last night
that Mrs. Roberts accusations were en
tirely without foundation. "My wife
did not aid in Illegally taking Myrtle
and Richard." ho said. "They worn
placed I" tl)O custody of their father
by the law and he gave them to Mrs.
Harper two years ago. at the time of
his separation from his wife, to bring
nil as her own. They know that their
parents are living, but call us 'mother 1
nnd 'father,' and aro perfectly happy
and contented in our home. The
mother's accusations are untrue. Fur
ther than this T have nothing to say."

ATTORNEY FOR
PINCHOT RAGES
AT COMMITTEE
Chairman Accuses Coun
sel of Trifling with
Senators
HOT CLASH RESULTS
Chief Engineer Davis Con
tradicts Statements by
Baliinger
[Associated Press]
WASHINGTON, March 12.—A
sharp clash occurred between
•Senator Nelson, chairman of
the Balllnger-Plnchoi committee, and
Attorney Pepper, counsel for Gilford
Plnchot,' near the close of today's ses
sion of the inquiry, when Mr. Nelson
accused the lawyer of "trifling" with
the committee.
White with anger, Mr. Pepper de
manded to know if that was the
Judgment of the committee, and when
several members exclaimed "I.et it.
; |" lie saiil a reflection which he.
resented bad been cast on him, and
he questioned the senators' tiwht to
make such an at < usatlon.
Mr. Pepper \viin referring to several
letter* In the record In an endeavor to
have <:hlef BHistaeer Davis of tho
reclamation sei-vlce, who was on the
Mann 1, refute «everal statements nt
tributtd to Secretary Kallinger to the
„n. , i thai restoration! of eertnln lands
in the ireel to public entry after they
had been withdrawn under Secretary
Qarneld, iifi« been made on recom
mendations of the reclamation service.
Chairman Nelson said he thought It
was a WUMte Of time to go over ground
already covered, »nd interposed an
objection to the reading of the letters*,
jn ea'-li Instance In which the ques
tion wan put the witness repilted that
Mr. Bellinger bad made % miaataU
ment,
"Now I have come to the point I was
after," eald Attorney Pepper.
Davis Explains Statement
"At tho conclusion of your direct ex
amination this morning you said. 'I
want it. understood that I do .not wish
to Insinuate In anything i have said
that Secretary Balllnger has Inten
tionally or consciously committed a
wrong. I do not believe he has.' Will
you explain your statement more
fully?"
Mr. Davis saM ho merely mr-ant to
disclaim «ny Intimation that Mr. Bai
llnßpr had committed a wrong. He
referred only to his acts, he continued,
and not his statements, for many of
them were wrong. He did not Indi
cate whether he thought Slrv-Balllnger
had " '•Intentionally or * consciously"
made>a mlsstatement.
: Mr. Davis concluded his testimony
before the committee today and was
excused at the end of the afternoon,
ueaslon. Ho flatly contradicted Secre
tary Halllnger in several statements
and said they did not agree on many
reclamation - matters, although both
had been and, he hoped, still were
good friends. •
Contradicts Baliinger
Attorney Pepper read into the rec
ord a letter, recently addressed to th«
house committee on ways* and means
by Secretary Ballinger, In support of
the $30,000,000 bond issue for reclama
tion work. In this latter Secretary
Ballinger spoke of the hardships which
had resulted to settlers on some of the
projects where co-operation agreements
had been entered into by former Sec
retary Qarfleld. Ho also claimed that
inducements had been held out to set
tlers to come on the land, and that at
Toluca, Mont., there had been erected
a large sign board inviting settlers to
come there. This sign included the
statement:
"Settlen can work out their pay
ments." .
Ballinger said he ordered th:s part
of ihe sign painted over.
Davis contradicted practically every
statement in the Ballirrger letter. He
■aid he was with Bulllnger when he
saw the sign: that no orders had been
given to paint out the words, and that
up t.i a few days ago they had not been
painted out.
The witness said there had been no
co-operative agreement! or certificate"
at Toluca; thai no inch signs had been
erected anywhere else, and that no un
due Inducement had ever been made to
settlers to go into the co-operative
work.
At Toluca the reclamation work had
1,.., ii completed and then' was more
water available than laud under culti
vation. The lauds ueie public, and It
was decided that they should be taken
up.
Tells of "Black Tent 1' Affair
The witness related tho so-called
"black tent" ■ affair. Ho said that un
der orders of Secretary Ballinger, F. 1.
Perkins of the Chicago office of the
reclamation service went through the
west lecturing in a. black tent .to ad
vertise reclamation worK.
It came to the attention of service
officials that Perkins, in addition to
getting a salary of $3300 a year, was
receiving an allowance of $500 a month
from the Harriman railway lines. The
Hill lines protested, that Perkins was
coming into their territory and lectur
ing about projects on the Harrlman
lines. ... ' ,
Mr. Davis said Perkins proved his
fidelity to the Harriman lines by ship
ping 69 per cent of material from Chi
cago to Mexa, Ariz., where the recla
mation service has been engaged in a
project, by way of th« Harriman lines,
which made the longest and most ex
pensive route.
Davis" said he recommended Perkins
dismissal. Director, Newell did .not
agree to this at first, but later wrote
to Perkins and in a "polite- way. re
quested his resignation. : Secretary Bal
linger reprimanded Newell for inter
fering in a matter which was being
personally conducted by himself. "
Engineers Dissatisfied
At the beginning of the . afternoon
session Mr. Davis told of the dissatis
faction existing among the engineers
of the reclamation service, because of
the unsympathetic attitude of the
present secretary of the interior In
(ailing to promote them, although rec
ommended for promotion hy the su
pervising engineers.
He said thai on <jpe occasion ii^ had
a hard time preventing all the engi
neer! in the. Mrvice from resigning In

AIRSHIP SMASHED BY CON-
TACT WITH POND
Man.Bird Tries to Skim Along Sur
face of Water Like Sea Gull.
Forced to Swim
to Bhore
SEATTLE, March 12.—Charles K.
Hamilton, the air navigator, was In
jured while giving an exhibition at
The Meadows this afternoon by the
capsizing or his Ourtiss biplane which
fell with him while he was executing
a fancy maneuver. Hamilton is at
the hospital suffering from shock and
complains of a violent pain in the head.
No bones were broken.
As the dosing feature of a highly
successful exhibition, he. had circled
the course at a height of more than
300 feet and at lower altitudes, wheel
ing and dipping and gilding close to
the heads of the great throng- of spec
tators, Hamilton attempted a rapid de
scent toward a pond several feet
deep, intending to skim over the sur
face as the sea gulls do. From a
height of 300 feet the biplane glided
gracefully to the bosom of the pond,
but the man-bird miscalculated the
distance and one of the planes struck
the water, with the result that the
machine instantly turned a somersault
and fell a mass of wreckage in the
pond. Hamilton disentangled himself
and swam to shore, twenty l'eet
distant.
He was assisted to an automobile
nearby and rushed to the Providence
hospital.

city, village and hfimlet in the state.
and the people will press the huttou
and run the government to suit them
selves.
Do you know that during the fort!
years the Southern T'acifle has >,ov

selling himself to that machine ' !><>
you know that if a poor man wi
to run tor office he had lo humble him
