Mc- Hie of New York from the Sheppard and Enoch Pratt Hospital in Baltimore | last Saturday. Mrs. McHie, a wealthy woman, had been committed to the Baltimore asylum last December, having been taken from a hotel rcom at night by private de- tectives on an affidavit signed by her mother, Mrs. Susan J. Mulhall of Wash- ington, D. C. by a lawyer in New York today, said that she had been misinformed as to the contents of the paper she signed last Winter, that she does not believe her daughter is incompetent, and asks that she be appointed special guardian of Mrs. McHie, who is now in a New York Hotel. R O NEW YORK, May 12—A pendinz' Mrs. Mulhall, in an affidavit offered | = worn. The second woman stepped into the car and was driven off. She was Mrs. McHie. The first was a visiting patient who had been prevailed on to assist in the escape. Mrs. McHie had gone to Baltimore originally to be treated at Johns Hop- kins for an injury from a fall while traveling in Germany. She came into prominence a few years back when in the course of a legal trial she said that ‘t'he more she saw of human beings the more she cared for her dogs” and that she would leave her fortune to animals. She said later that she was not fully earnest about this. (Copyright. 1931.) THIEF GETS PROBATION Man Pleading Jobless Distress Is ., Given Clemency by Court.

Conduct Is Lauded. “His conduct as president has since been looked upon 85 an example—an end to which we have sought to attain,” Mr. James then told of the history of the gifts and placed & gavel in the hands of Mr. Kuhn,.president from 1925, the date of the federation's organization, to 1927. Mr. Kuhn replied that he was keenly sensitive of the spirit prompting the presentation. The federation has reached its present eminence, he de- clared, by the sincere work of all its delegates. He lauded the “far-seeing efforts of the citizens of the county who took part in the deliberations of this body, particularly those from areas adjacent to the District of Columbia.” “In this room the federation was born six years ago,” Mr. Kuhn continued, “and those six years have witnessed Montgomery County’s greatest growth. During that time the federation has ac- complished much and contributed much toward that growth. Co-operation Praised. | “This accomplishment would have | been impossible but for mutual faith “and co-operation between the federa- tion and county authorities,” he added. Calling attention to his apparent re- tirement from active work in the fed- eration, he said that during the period when he appeared to be inactive he has maintained an active interest. The federation has gone far, Mr. Kuhn as- serted, and will continue to go far be- cause of its spirit of unity and faith. In introducing Col. Barber, who served as president from 1927 to 1929, Mr. James said that when the federa- tion chose him as leader, they turned to a different type from the first presi- dent. After the initial effort of organi- zation and fight for prestige, he de- clared, it was necessary to seek new fields cf activity and to install routine “Even more important than the offi- cial acts and accomplishment of the federation,” Col. Barber declared in replying to the speech of presentation, “has_been the close personal under- standing and human relationships which have developed among the dele- gates. This gift is an example of that Teeling.” He praised the spirit manifested in all federation activity when he became president and said that such a spirit is stronger than ever ncw.
