With her two-year-old baby clasp- ed in her arms, her eyes filled with tears, a broken hearted mother last evening sat on a rallroad track and prayed that the onrushing train would grind her beneath its wheels. Grieving beyond any hope of con- solation, she sought death and de- fied the attempts of her friends to remove her from the track. She was forcibly pulled from the rails, just three feet ahead of the engine as the 7:30 p. m. Waterbury train slid by. Grieved because the Connecticut Humane society, which she does not think is as humane as its name, took away her three oldest children, Mrs. Stanley Romaine of 24 Star street last evening made her second at- tempt at suicide. Had it not been for the prompt action and quick thinking of Policeman Gustave Hell- berg, William Grabeck and Ben- jamin Huck she and her baby today would be lifeless, in all probability.

A comple maine’s three children. The records show only that on June 22, an agent or agents for the society.took them and placed them in care of the Hartford county temporary home. The statement is made that the humane society says the Romaine home was not a fit place for the older children, one of whom is but a stepchild of Mrs. Romaine’s, but whom she loves with all the affec- tion a real mother could bestow. E. C. Connolly, probation officer, does not know why the children should have been taken away, and he has so stated to the Humane so- ciety officers. They say he does not know all the story. Whether the fact that the mother, not being a woman educated in the working of humane societies, showed violent re- sistance toward one of the agents at one time, has any bearing on the case or not no one seems to know. Policemen who are acquainted with the family, agree with Mr. Connolly that the living conditions at the home are no worse than in a good many other homes in the city. Miss Cora M. Beale, executive secretary of the Welfare Association knows the family, but will not say the conditions there warrant break- ing up the home. Mrs. Romaine and her husband both work for a living. They are said ‘to be Industrious people. One time they owned their own home at 16 John street. They also owned an expensive automobile in which the father and mother took the children for rides. But misfortune came upon them two months ago, and on June 22, the society took away the three old- est children. The home, they said was not a fit place for the older children, but was alright for the baby. The mother's heart was torn by love for her lost children. She did not know what to do. She had come to America thinking it was a great country which looked after the in- terests of the downtrodden and op- pressed. Then after she had reared a family along came the law, through an agency she does not un- derstand, and took away three of her four children. She figured life was not worth liv- ing. Rushing out to the railroad tracks near the City Coal and Wood Co,, she sat on the rails and waited for the train to run over her and | end her sufferings. A policeman found her there and ! arrested her. Lieutenant Matthias Rival locked her up over night for | E keeping, In the morning the sympathetic official released her. But the heartache did not cease. The home was silenced by the ab- sence of the shouts and laughter, and sometimes the quarrelling, be- cause they did quarrel, of the small children. The mother could not be comforted. The husband, too griev- ed, but not as a mother can. Last night; Mrs. Romaine again decided she could not stand the pain. She took her baby and went to the railroad yards near the Stanley Rule and Level plant and sat on the rails, waiting for the 7:30 train to Water- bury to put an end to all troubles. Friends trled to coax her off the track. Between her sobs and prayers that the train soon come and ‘“end it all” she defied them to remove her. The phone at police headquart- Romaine is again on her | the tracks and a train is due” sald an excited voice. The three bluecoats “rushed” to the scene, and without ceremony grabbed the woman and pulled her from the tracks just three feet from in front of the train, which thun- dered by with a blast of the whistle and a screeching of air brakes. Again she was locked up. “It's too much for me, but something ought to be done,” said Lieutenant Rival. The latter left the woman in a cell this morning for his superiors to handle and went home. “Anybody would go crazy if three of their children were suddenly taken from them,” sald Cliptain George Kelly as he told the woman to go home and stay away from the railroad. Maybe something can be done. Mr. Connolly, who says sympathy is all on the woman's side, telephoned the Humane society headquarte “You do not know all the fact they said. “It has been known to have chil- dren returned to their parents, if they satisfied the authorities they were able to look after them,” com mented Miss Beale, who says she f: not thoroughly familiar with the present situation in the Romaine home, | “I have seen their home in the | morning before they had a chance to clean up and it is as good as a maine will problem. present a perplexing Airplane “Freighter” in Successful Test Flight Curtiss Field, N.
