By Sophie Irene Loeb. One hundred and fifteen more widows will be granted pensions to-day, ac- cording to the action taken by the Child Welfare Board last week. The a eo «allowance [8 $26.21 per month. More than half of these cases are those tn which private charities have ‘been appealed to and have falled to give adequate allowances. At the sare time three cases are sent to Commissioner Kingsbury and a request is made by the Board of Child Welfare that Mr. Kingsbury turn over the money now paid to Institutions for the care of the chil- dren in these cases and thus make it | possible for the mothers to take them home. Also a formal demand will be made to-day on Mr. Kingsbury for a list of all children of widows now kept in institutions by him at a total expense of more than 96,000 per week to the city, that could have been taken out of the Institutions as early when the Widows’ went into effect. This caused no extra expense to ti city and in many cases, where there were several children, the mother could have cared for them In her own home for less than the olty is now paying for their care. The flagrant neglect in getting these children out of institutions 1s charged directly to Mr, Doherty, Deputy Commissioner of Charities. After Mayor Mitchel appointed the Child Welfare Board, as no appropriation for a secretary had yet been made, Commiasioner Kingsbury suggested that Mr, Doherty act as secretary. Doherty proceeded to have his name printed as secretary on the letter- heads of the Child Welfare Board, and that 1s all he did, so far as there lg any record of his activities. IGNORED DIRECTIONS GIVEN BY THE BOARD. He was directed by the board, as early as last August, to sectire a com~ plete list of the children of widows in Institutions and to report to the board immediately, #0 these children might be removed to the homes of their mothers without delay. He is yet to be heard from on this matter. Evidently the members of the Board of Estimate and Apportionment thor- oughly understood the meaning of the Widows’ Pension Law, and Borough Presidents Pounds and Mathewson wore anxious to put it into effect, as were Mr. McAneny and Mayor Mit- chel. Mr, Doherty wae present when Mr. Pounds asked the following significant question before the Board of Estimate on Oct, 25 last, yet he did not answer, nor did he tak yy subsequent ao in regard to these children In stitutions: “Wasn't the law intended to reach these cases you already have in your Institutions that could be better treated In the homes?” In view of the lethargy of Mn Doherty thi rd of Child Wel- fare has Ided on a deter- mined stand, and Commissioner Kingebury will be asked how long he and Deputy Commissioner Do- herty Intend to keep the children In Inetitutions against the law. Rev. Father Courtney of the Child Welfare Board, Supervisor of Catho- Ho Inetitutions, bitterly denounced this delay in bringing the children home to their mothers, He said: “This young man Doherty is very busy attending investigations, telling how children are treated in institu- tione, and yet he haa fatied to per- form his duty tn bringing ou’ of the institutions from 2,000 to 8,009 chil- dren—a matter intrusted to bis care last August, HAS FAILED TO USE REMEDY THAT LAW PROVIDES, “He hae time to address audience: Absolutely conditions existing in the New York! criminals living on thority given to him to improve conditions for these children and allay the evils. “This young man vicited me, and when | asked for the source of his information he said that he got it from anonymous letters. “It we want need information from direct sources, and, in view of Mr. Doherty's inac- tivity in the matter of taking children out of Instituons, as has been pro- | vided for by this law, it seems to me that an investigation by the Child Welfare Board of Mr. Doherty's fail- ure to report, as secretary, ts now timely, especially since he ls so loud in his denunciation of the institutions that house these very children.” Members of the Child Welfare Board will also inquire into Mr. Do- herty’s activities relative to the “dummy” account in the Charities Department made for their use, One manifestation of this was the recent transfer of $100,000 from the Chart- tles Department for the u Child Welfare Board (mothers' lowances), although there app the budget only $100 for suc! poses, under the heading of “fixed charges and contributions.” | DOHERTY WAS WILLING To “FIX" THE DUMMY ACCOUNT, Mr. Doherty seems to have been re- sourceful in his suggestions to at- range this account so that it would not appear for the purposes intended, as the minutes of the Board of Esti- mate of Oct. 25 disclose, While the discussion was on as to how this Lassi 4 could be placed #0 that “the public will not know of the fund and no one will know at anything ir. Matthew: Mr. Doherty od: “Tack it on to one of t tutions, You can take it off.’ When it was pointed out that there would be difficulty, “be cause the institutions would sume it was set up for them,” Mr. Doherty offered to arrange this, saying, “I will take it and distribute it.” Thus, while Mr. Doherty was hetp- |ing to fix up the “tummy” account, Mr. Matthews, Chairman of the Child Welfare Board, stated “I think you are making yourselves | unnecessary trouble, This thing was |advertised north, east, south and west.” The appropriation was then | made as follows: Mr, Mathewson—You cannot trans- fer from personal service to other than personal service, Mr. Matthews—You do not want to use any money until we can show that it ought to be used. Mr. Hervey—Suppose we put an {tem under the heading of Child Wel- fare, fixed char nd contributions. The Chatrman—How much? Mr. Hervey—$100, This was done and the “dummy” account arranged accordingly, phinstvintecbrnecsidaiins DE TOLNA IS U. S. CITIZEN. Can Now Recover Villa and Yacht French Government Setsed, SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 7.—Ru- dolph: Festetics de Tolna, formerly Count de Tolna of Austria, won a de- cision tn the Supertor Court Saturday adjudging him a citizen of the United States and giving him the privilege of beginning proceedings to recover a villa in France, near Paris, and a @team yacht, both of which were seized at the beginning of the war by the French Government as enemy Property. The decision means a victory for de Tolna in a long legal fight to restore records of his naturalization tn 1906, they having been destroyed in the great San Francisco fire that year. —————__ MY TIRED FEET ACHED FOR “TZ” Let your sore, swollen, ach- ing feet spread out in a bath of “Tiz.” Just take your shoes off and then put those w shoe-crinkled, aching, burn- ing, corn d, bunion-tortured feet When your feet feel lik lead—all tired out—just tr: gone There's nothing like “ only remedy tbat di oisonous exudations which puff up your Feet and cause foot torture, Get a 5 cent box of “Tis” at any drug or department store—don't wait.
