CHEYENNE, Wyo., April 3.—Mrs. Mae Staples gets her chil- dren. In district court Wednesday, following three half-day hearings, | Judge Mentzer awarded her their custody upon her promise that she| would take them to Hudson and provide them with a suitable home. Throughout the day’s proceedings James Edward Staples, the| elder of the two, sat on his mother’s lap; George Vincent Staples, aged | three, romped through the court! room. The mother, a comely young LENINE WANTS woman, attended the hearing for the first time. At its close she clasped her two boys to her breast and kissed | them again and again. | Afterwards, when the crowd Make Peace With Us Now and We Will Make Good, Is Sub- stance of Appeal to Paris From Bolsheviki started to break up, George Vincent, apparently fearful lest he should again be separated from his mother, ran to her and cried: “Mamma, I want to stay with you.” Three witnesses were placed on the stand. They were: Mrs. Staples, the mother; A. E. Allison, the grand- father, and Miss Allie Jewell, super- intendent of the Wyoming Children’s Home society. After Mr. Allison had; sworn that he had purchased a home for his daughter at Hudson, and that the cottage was now ready to receive the mother and her little charges, the | attorneys for the society did not seriously contend for their custody. W. C.

Then we will make good and you can recognize us if you’ care’to.” Lefiine agrees to stop propaganda zation to deprive a mother of her children. “Mrs. Staples is now so situated that she will be able to take care of them. She loves them, and she is en- titled to them. “I do not wish to hold, and I do not hold, that the society’s actions were uflawful. It was created by the state legislature, and if the law under which it operates is wrong, then it is| up to the legislature to change it. “The society is doing a splendid work. At times it may be a bit over- zealous and go too far, but these children were fortunate in being taken under its protection at the time they were, “Under the circumstances, their proper place is now with their mother.
