LOUIS, Mo., Press.)—Gazing opera New Year's day she had to run three times to the third floor to still thé cries of the hidden child, so that her parents might not know of its existence. The records of the orphanage, however, show a baby was abandoned on its front steps on December 27. It is thought the young mother might have con- fused New Year's day with Christ- mas in her memory. The child was born December 19. The board of children’s guardians was not satisfied that the baby left with no identification marks on the orphanage doorstep was Fannie's. It refused to take the child away from the family which tentatively adopted it. So Miss Lockwood brought mandamus proceedings and Judge Ossing was the “Solomon.” “Be here Friday. We'll have three baby boys, one of them will be yours. If you can plck it out, it's yours.” Fannie is confident she will pick her own child, although she has not seen it si her lover took it away from her { months ago. PARIS CABINET CRISIS. 1S.

The mop pusher was Philip Gross- man, Chicago, former saloon keeper, whoso efforts to keep out-of jail pre- cipitated the delicate question of whether the president of the United States has the power to pardon or shorten the sentence of a person for sontempt of court. Grssman is still dazed by the pol- ito-judicial storm. He spent some $25,000 to keep out of jail. He man- aged to keep out until president Coolidge pardoned him. But, par- adoxically, the pardon jailed him. “I thought a pardon took a man out of jail,” he said. . ‘The presi- dent pardons me, they put me in jail. Why, with all the money I spent on lawyers and appeals and all such things, 1 could have bought a nice private jail where I wouldn't have to work. Now the money ts spent, and here I am mopping the floors, and —"' here Grossman shuddered—“bath- ing a lot of the rummies they got here.” In addition to his duties of playing the Gold Dust Twins, Grossman has to help scrub the daily grist of pris- oners, year for contempt of court because he refused to obey an injunction or- dering his saloon closed. ‘The case was fought through the United States Supreme Court, but the jail sentence was sustained. But Grossman did not go to jail for reasons yet to be ascertained and he kept out of the way until his friends, through the re r channels obtained his pardon. tion: tention was focused on the incident by the pardon and the discovery he had not served any part of the sentence. Federal judges of Chicago, sitting en banc, ruled the president exceeded his powers in par- doning p person jailed for contempt. They set aside the pardon and jailed Grossman. e The department of justice however, holds that the president was within his rights and powers, and plans are under way to settle the issue. In the meantime Grossman {s locked up. He gave hig occupation as that of a clerk, and hopes to grad- uate from his present plebian tas!
