"BABY FARMS" ARE CAUSE OF PROTEST President of State Society Asks City Council to Protect Foundlings OAKLAND, Aug. 22. — Legislation holding the owners of "baby farms" and maternity homes rigidly respoiisi ble to sonic authority is recommended to the city council in a letter from Ed win "H. Xewhall, president of the Cali fornia Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children. In the communication Newhall in forms the council that officers of the society have at different times investi gated the foundling homes in the vi cinity of Oakland. Regarding these places he reports: "The conditibns under which some of the little ones have been found have been far from ideal, although the man agers kept themselves sufficiently with in the law to avoid arrest for actual cruelty. Tn some of these places there were found too many children for one person to attend properly. In others the housing, was improper and the san itation not of the best.' One place now exists where a private maternity estab lishment and rooms where children are boarded are conducted under one roof. This is bad from a moral standpoint at least and the low fees charged for ma ternity cases and children's • board leaves the place open to question if not to criticism. All to whom the lives of women and children are entrusted should be" responsible to some one, either a board of directors or public officials." As. an immediate remedy Xewhall recommends that the state law enacted several years ago to regulate maternity establishments and places where chil dren are. kept to board be enforced. He condemns the practice alleged to prevail in some homes of selling chil dren to the 'highest bidder. This is done, he reports, "under the pretense that the managers wish simply to reim burse themselves for the expense in curred by the mothers, whom they have attended."
