Lee of Water- ford, took their six year old daughter from the convent school at Baltic, accord- ing to her testimony in the superior cdurt here Friday afternoon before Judge Allyn L. Brown, and placed her in a school in Brooklyn, N. Y., the same that Mrs. Lee herself had atfended years ago. The question of the custody of the child came up for a hearing in court as Mrs. Lee’s attorneyg had obtained a court order giving her the custody, which i opposed by Dr. Lee. : The hearing was opened at about 11 o'clock, the court session being held . in the common pleas court g»om as the su- perior court room was occupied with the short calendar business of the November session. About twenty persons were in court, including witnesses and others, among whom were two alienists, Dr. H. Pollock, of Boston, former superintendent of the Norwich state hospital, and Dr. Franklin S. Wilcox, the present superin- tendent. The attorneys for Mrs. Lee, who are Harrison T, Sheldon of New Haven and Philip Z. Hankey of New Loudon, and the attorneys for Mrs. Lee, who are Major Hadlai A Hull and C. Hadlai Hull of New London, spent a long time in con- ferences in attempts to settle the matter without bringing it to a hearing, but thes: efforts were fruitless and about 3.30 in the afternoon, Judge Brown took his seat on the bench and the hearing was opened. Mrs. Lee was first called to the stand by Attorney Sheldon who questioned her as to her care of the child. Mrs. Lee said the little girl would be seven in Jani- ary and that she had taken entire care of her, except for the first year when she had a trained nurse. She had pur- chased and paid for the child’s clothes. This spring, in May, Mrs. Lee left the doctor’s home in Waterford. In the sum- mer Mrs. Lee was living at Edgehill Inn, Spuyten Deuyvil, New York, and one day in Alugust the child disappeared. It was playing around the back door at the time. Mrs. Lee satl she next saw the baby at the convent at baltic aft~r the baby had been at Dr. Lee’s in Water- ford. - 7 Asked by her attorney if she were a Catholic, Mrs. Lee said she was not, nor had Dr. Lee ever been a Catholic to her knowledge. She saw the child on a Sun- day in Octoher ai the convent. Tha child's pnmio- 177 o said and vas in the regulation black costume, with white coiar aau She had gro a bit stout, was very pale and had dar] circies uncer her Her hair was straggly and long. Mrs. Lee testified that she knows of no Protestant chil- children or any friends of her child who are at the convent school. Asked where the child now is, Mrs. Lee said she is at Brooklyn Heights semin- self lives at 104 Columbia Heights, Brooklyn, about five or six block away from the seminary. Mrs. Lee lives with her aunt, Mrs. Allen Capron, and her cousin, Miss Watt. She described the child’s hours at the school and at the playground in connection with it and her own apartment on Columbila Heights.

She was in Annapolis, in Washington and then in New York for three or four weeks, coming to New Lon- don in July with the’ child and stayed two days at her mother’s, before return- ing to New York again. She did not let Dr. Lee know where the child was this time and when she went back to New York, she went as far ag New Haven by automobile, because she testified, she was afraid tbe doctor would see her. A detective found out what her address in New York was. Asked by Major Hull whether it was her iatention when she took the child to ‘Washington not to return it to New Lon- don, Mrs. Lee was not allowed to answ- er until the court had instructfd her that her answer might incriminate her. Mrs. Lee, however, answered that, she did in- tend to bring the child back to New London. In_response to Major Hull's question, Mrs. Lee said she took the chiid from Connecticut to Brooklyn on Tuesday of last week and took her away from the convent two weeks ago. She said she did not know there was a motion pending in court concerning the custody of the child. She admitted that she visited the con- vent school with Mr. agd Mrs. James N. Kelly of New London early in May, that she had talked with Dr. Lee about it and that she told Mr. and Mrs. Kelly the school was satisfactory and that she had said to Mr. and Mrs. Kelley she didn' feel she could give the child the care it ought to have. She also admitted in re- ply to questioning that she had agreed with Dr. Lee that the child should go tv this school in the fall. On Sept. 14, Mrs. Lee testified she call- ed to see the child bhut could not because it was against the rules, not being a vis- itors’ day. She saw the child on the third Sunday in October. Before this the sister she had seen at the school had asked her not to see the child as they had had a terrible time with her crying and it was better not to have her upset again. Mrs. Lee agreed that this was the best thing for the child and did not try to see her that time. She decided to take her away, after she had seen her the second time at the school because she found her wretchedly unhappy. She did- n't tell the doctor because she did not Sae thought he knew s condition because ‘she believed he went to see her oftener than she did. , Mrs. Lee denied that she decided to take the child away when she decided upon bringing a petition for divorce. Court adjourned about 5.30 with Mrs. Lee still on the stanl and tfe hearing will be continued in New London a weex from next Tuesday.

The 1917 general assembly approprias ed $25,000 for the work of the industrial waste board and the 1919 general assem- bly granted $50.000. All of the $75,000 has been spent on tests that have been made in the dye and brass industries with a view to ascertaining methods of elim- inating factory waste from the streams of the state. Various manufacturing interests of the state have spent liberal sums assisting the industrial waste board in its work. The industrial waste board, which func- tioned under the state department of health with Commissioner John T. Black at its head, was abolished by the 1921 general assemibly. This action followed spirited debate before the judiciary com- mittee between the representatives of the oyster growing indusiry and the manu- facturing industries, the former claiming that the industrial waste from the fac- tories had crippled the shell fish industry of the state. As a result of the agitation the judi- ciary committee rejected compromise bills offered by the Manufacturers' Association of Connecticut, which provided for a commission plus a $650,000 appropriation. A committee bill establishing the present commission and abolishing the old was carried. The state department of health is ordered to turn over the results of its Investigation to the new commission. Under the provisions of the statute the attorney general is 2 member of the new commission. Besides the three civil en- gineers the commission comprises two manufacturers and a representative of the oyster growers. The new commis- sion is to report its findings with recom- mendations to the 1923 general assembly. It is understood that the commission will seek to get from the board of control all the money available. There is a bal- ance of approximately $30,000 in the ap- propriation made by the legislature for activities for which there are no specific appropriation. The total appropriation for this was $50,000, of which $20,000 has already been allowed the state board of agriculture for its marketing bureau. CHINESE REPLY TO JAPAN CONCERNING SHANTUNG Peking, Nov. 4 (By the A. P.)—In & 2.000-word note the Chinese government has replied to the latest proposals of the Japanese government concerning the Shantung situation. It states that the Japanese proposals were not acceptable. The Japanese memorandum to China of Oct. 19, the note declares, shows an apparent misunderstanding and misinter- pretation of the text of the Chinese note of Oct. 5, thereby necessitating a further statement by the Chincse government ‘covering ‘past facts and an unchanged viewpoint on the part of China.” “The summary of the Japanese gov- ernment’s proposed basis of settlement,” the note continues, “is altogether too re- mote from the hopes and expectations of the Chinese government and people, who therefore are obliged to await patiently an opportunity suitable to Japan for a reconsideration of her position. “The Chinese memorandum of Oct. § points out the difference in v tween China and Japan rega principles underlying the Japanase pro- posals and the con®ents and terms there- of. If the Japanese government under- stood - these differences she wolld very surely have proposed a more substantial and more just nroject, which would uni- versally be recognized as fair. It is most regrettable, however, that the Japanes: government has given no sign of conces- sions. while maintaining that China open. Iy is unwilling to proceed with negotia~ tions. ‘China was unable to sign the Ver- sailles treaty owing to the Shantung ar- ticles, hence it is imnossible to compel her to recognize the effects arising from the treaty regarding Shantung. Japan considers that the Kia-oChau leasehold was _transferred to her by the operation of the treaty, while China deems the leasehold* to have expired through her declaration of war against Germany. If both countries insist on this difference in viewpoint, a solution 6f the problem would be rendered fo impossible ; but since Japan is Wi Kiao-Chau comp! necessity for Japan's insistence on the point in the dispute dves not exist, “Regarding the German declaration concerning Shantung, China, when the Chino-German commercial agreement was negotiated, insisted on her demand for the restoration of Kiao-Chau, but Germany could only regret to China that German’s nower for returnniz Kiao-Chau had been lost through a force majeure, vhich explanation China simply acknow- ledged. Hence it is a serions misunder- standing for Janan to construe this inci- dent as meaning China's recognition of the Versallles treaty. i | 3 ART CRITIC DUVEEN IS BEING SUED FOR $500,000 DAMAGES Neéw York, Nov. 5.—Damages of $500, 000 are asked in a suit brought today against Sir Joseph Duveen, international art dealer and citic, who is alleged to have prevented the sale of the painting “Belle Ferronniere,” owned by Mrs. An- dre Hahn of Paris. to the Kansas City Art institute, by expressing the opinion that the npainting was a copy and not the original work of Leonarda Da Vinei.
