CHEYENNE, Wyo., March 19.-—(Special to the Tribune.) Information received at the state house today had it that the children of Mrs. May Stanles had been located—one at Casper and one at Newcastle. It ,was also reported that Miss Allie Jewell, whom Mrs. Staples has ac- cused of hiding the latter’s children, | would arrive in Cheyenne Thursday, prepared to meet the state board of charities and reform, and explain the matter. She has been touring the northern part of the state in the nterests of the Children® Home Finding society, of which she is sup- erintendent. Secretary of State William E. Chaplin, acting chairman of the board of charities and reform, made it plain today that that body has not revoked the society’s permit—as charged by a local democratic paper—but instead has merely suspended the permit until such a time.as the matter has been ithoroughly investigated. ' “Acting upon the testimony pre- sented,” he said, “the board believed that the proper step to take w to suspend the operation of the p un Miss Jewel could appear and e a showing upon the charges presented. There was no thot at any time, and it was not suggested at any meeting of the board, that the permit should be revoked. The record does not show such action, and no member of the board had any such ion in mind. However, if the father are sustained by the eviden later presented, it is not improbable that the order of suspension will be made permanent.”’ Mrs. Staples alleged that she has been unable to secure from the so- ciety any information regarding her two children and that she had been unable to locate Miss Allie iJewell, superintendent of the organization. She says she allowed Miss Jewell to ection of a $300,000 fire-proof hotel in take the children about a year ago, understanding that the mother was to contribute to the ex- pense of keeping them, and that later, when she was unable to meet the payments, Miss Jewell notified her that she, the mother, had forfeited all claim to them, She says her father then sent her money and that she took it to Wheatland, with the in- tention of getting the boys, but that the superintendent notified her that ‘they had been taken away, It is probable that a hearing on the charges will be held before the board at an early date. s Jewell’s friends are confident that she will be able to explain the whole affair. 4,000 CLOTHING WORKERS QUIT IN CLEVELAND CLEVELAND, Ohio., March 1 Four thousand men’s clothing w: ers of Cleveland, employed in factories, went an strike thi: ing, according to union offi 40 morn- als.
