QUIVEY TURNS 'EM ALL DOWN
Home Finder Won't Tell Mother Who
Has Her Children.
APPEALS TO POLICE FOE LIGHT
Officers of Inn Are Denied All'
Information l- Rev. E. P. Ctuivey
ns to Where Tonne
Ones Are.
Mrs. Allen of Faulkner, Neb., seeks
her children, who were adopted by the
Nebraska Children's Home society, twelve
years ago, when at the death of the father
the family was left destitute.
The anxious and yearning mother is
pleading with the police to help her gain
information, which, she says, is refused by
officials of the society. Rev. E. P. Quivey,"
superintendent, she said, takes the position
that it is not beat for the welfare of the
children and the interests of their foster
parents to divulge to the mother their
whereabouts.
The father of the children died In May
of 1897 and the children, Harry, 8 years,
of age, and Isabelle, 6 years of age, were
taken , from the mother, who was In
stialghened circumstances and placed with
Rev. Mr. Quivcy. The mother, upon re
gaining her health, which was broken at
the time of her husband's death, endeav
oied to locate the children, and for a time
Rev. Quivey would Inform her by letter
of their welfare, but absolutely refused
any information as to where they had
been placed. -
Of late Mrs. Allen has been able to
receive no replies to her numerous letters
to Rev. Qulvey and finally, In desperation,
through Mrs. Ella Arndt. also of Faulkner,
she appealed to the Omaha police.
Emergency Officer Joe Hell, who looks
after loBt persons, visited Rev. Mr. Quivey
and was met with a refusal. The only
Information obtainable was that it would
be necessary for Mrs. Arndt to communi
cate direct witli the society.
According to the ages of the children
given at the time of the father's death,
Harry would now be 20 years of age, and
Isabelle 18 year. Mrs. Arndt will be noti
fied by the police to communicate with
Rev. Mr. Qulvey.

Is there blood on the moon?
The Antl-Caloon league through District
Superiiiteniient J. M. Ltldy is out on an
investigation. The league wishes to find
out why Elmer K. Thomas, its attorney. Is
active In the matter of prosecuiUig ll(tior
dialers for violation of the laws up to the
point w here the county attorney has li due;!
Informations auuiiist alleged offenders und
no further.
In oilier words, Rev. Mr. Leldy Is Inquir
ing wlmt friendship exists between Thomas
and County Attorney English by reason of
which Thomas di slsts from complaining :
when the county uliorney does not prose- j
cute liquor casea ufter Thomas bus under; i
tulcen tho pri lini'iiary slept. ,
Mr. Ltldy lias now vlsltedtlie office of
the cltrk of district court ind obtained a
list a long om of all the cases which
have b'en begun, but not prosecuted for
violation of liquor laws, for gambling and
for selling liquors.
Among the cases on this list are those of
thirty or more suluon men whose pi liod
of danger has almost elupsed.
In November of 1H08 tine wire procured
In district court the Indictments of cbout
thirty-five valooit keepers and druggists
fur alleged violation, of liquor laws, selling
Hunday in most casta, and aelllng
wiihout a liccvjc In others. In adilHloi. j
several Informal lor: were lodged ciaiglni, I
gambling.
Of all these cu not una has beei. j
Trie Schwartz woman made the mistake
of voluntarily entering a plea of guilty.
She paid a flna of 1100. '
Elmer E. Thomas knows tliene prosecu
tions will expire If they continue over
three terms of district court without
prut.' cutiun.
Nor has Thomas forgotten that these
Informations stanJ on the records of the
criminal brunch of the district court of
Poiigiis county. In fact, he was recently
reminded of them.
The statute piovldes that cases may not
he continued for more ttian three terms of
district court. These informations were
lodged in November durliiK w lint Is known
ps the October term of district court for
the sear I'WS. Since then the Feliiu.iry
term of 1WW bus passed, the My term lias
gone by and the Oitohir teim of th! year
thii third Is nearly gone.
Meantime court house wise ones lai;ii
and wonder whnt Lena Hrhwarti thinks
