THURSDAY. MARCH 31. 1921. THE OREGON DAILY JOURNAL. PORTLAND, OREGON rS 1 4i BOYS' AND GIRLS' AID SOCIETY IS SCORED BY VOMAN . 'Mrs., Bessie Boyles, who -wants to adopt .the -two Smith children who were virtually kidnaped last week by their father at Lebanon, this morn ing In the court of domestic rela tions denounced J. Teuscher Jr., su perintendent of the Boys' and Girls' Aid society,' and accused him of neg ligence and cruelty. ' Kattie Irene Smith. 5, was taken from the ' society's home Saturday afternoon In broad daylight. Edgar Smith, " the father, drove up with Mrs. Boy lea in the Matter's automobile. He entered the home and returned with the child. A block away, '-according to Mrs. Boy lea, she told Smith she wanted nothing to do.-with the illegal taking of the girl, whereupon Smith' climbed out of the ax and neither he nor the child has been seen, since. -Smith has with, him also Haltie Irene Smith, 8, who was taken from the home of Miss Koule 'at Lebanon Saturday eve ning. Mrs. Smith was with him in an automobile, when they went to Lebanon. They ran out to the car with the child The car ' was last seen at Jefferson, headed toward Portland. Judxe Kanx ler heard of the case and had his a?ent visit the Smith home in I'ortland Mon day. None of the Smiths was there. MUST .PRODUCE CHILDBEX - Then came word to the judge that Mr. and Mrs. Earl M. Boyles wished to adopt the two children and the hearing was set for this morning. The judge ruled after the hearing that the adop tion proceedings could not proceed until the two "children were produced in court. Impassioned pleas were made, - asking him to overrule this decision. "It is the law that they must 'be in court," he .Teplled. - - . - - Mr. and Mrs. Smith have signed an agreement giving their consent to the adoption by Mr. and Mrs. Boyles. Mrs. Smith was in - the - courtroom, but she as well as Mr. and Mrs. Boyles denied having airy knowledge of where Smith had taken .the children. Only one per son' Is Informed, and any word to Smith must be sent through him, they told the court. V . JUDGg CITES WARSWO "Let Mr. Smith know that the chil dren must be returned to the jurisdic tion of the court or I will turn loose the machinery of the law," said the judge. The Smiths have been led into their difficulties by i the .torture of parental love and the horror growing out of being distrustful of the people in whose care the children -were placed, accord ing to Mrs. Boyles, who appealed to the court with tears 'running down her Claire' Ida, the girt placed with the Boys' and Girls' Aid society, has frail little-arms and is constantly, sickly, it was . charged. She was in good health, even if - the parents were very poor, when the children were taken from them three years ago. said Mrs. Boyles. She stated that if the court would al low her and her husband to adopt the girls she would give them . a mother's love and ' welcome the real -mother to her home whenever she wished to come. BOTH FRQAT, IC WA . f T'i Boyles and Smith are both' from Iowa. Smith worked for Boyles father there "many years ago, and " the two became acquainted. The Boyles. are well to do. The children were taken from the Smiths about three years ago, when it was found that the family was in poverty and had difficulty in giving the children the care they required. "Charity, charity ! Mrs- ijoyies net-la red. "If they want to give charity, why didn't they help this poor, sick mother at that time, instead of taking the children and putting them In this terrible home? Rather than have my baby taken from me. I would dig a hole in a haystacls And. live there the rest of my life." CHEST CEMENTS . CITYSAYS MAYOR (Continued From Tf One) The Spirit of Giving and The Community Chest By Sirs. Thomas Hone y man , It In the kind of giving which we all do this week that is going to count more than what we give, although we must not stop short of filling the chests And the kind of giving we do is going to depend on the spirit with which we give. -.''-.

We must all give because it is the kindly duty which the strong owe the weak,: a vital duty to them, but a privilege among our selves. .; V. -. ' ..... If'--:.... ' ,The Community Chest makes It possible for everyone to share in this privilege, and gives to the smaller con tributors a full share in this most important of ' civio trusts. We do not have to fro away to do big things. They are right here to do, and the .chest will enable ua all to have our part In doing them. The spirit with which we should regard this campaign can be no better expressed than in the words of Lowell : Better to me the poor man's crust. . - in Better the blessing of the poor, 1 - Thfturh I turn me emntv rmm hm ilnnr r '.

NEMniLAIf GRATIFIES The 60 men recruited by Julius . L. Meier Wednesday into a Chest council. started in their work of seeing big prospects early Thursday morning and the success they have had is evideenced hv the increased returns. Snontaneous humor was injected into the noon luncheon when Walter Jenkins announced a trio by Mayor Baker, Julius L. Meier and K. X. Strong. Mr. Meier didn't - make much noise, Mr. Strong was consistently off key and it was up to -the ' mayor to supply the harmony, which he did. Then the moyar under took to leave the meeting to keep an other appointment, but he was met at tho door b four cops who escorted him hack and" he proceeded to "be good" during the remainder of the meeting, t LAX IS SUGGESTED Some large business concerns are of fering Community Chest solicitors sub scriptions .that would ..provide approxi mately 3 cents a month toward the sup . port of each of the 60 agencies.' which re included in the Community , Chest fund. .'- v One of the colonels called attention to :he fact that a subscription of 525 to ilie Chest means only 41 cents a year for each of the 60" relief and - welfare agencies, or trifle over 3 cents a month.

This plan has worked in a number of in stances, v ! f-,; - ' --' ISSTAtLMESTS APPEAL Virtually all of the solicitors now in the field have abandoned the plan of asking their prospocts to contribute their full donations to the Community Chest in cash, and are making their appeals based on a monthly installment plan, and this is resulting in bringing in much better returns than the "other method. "Where the canvassers are trying to sign their prospects bp for $1. $2, $5 or S10 a month, they are having much bet ter luck than where they ask the con tributors to give a lump sum in cash," is the statement of one of the drive chieftains, and it is also helping to In crease many of i the gifts that had al ready been keyed far below what the donors might be. expected to give. . . CHEST SPIRIT INTERPRETED Interpretation of the Community Chest appeal in dancing was the feature inter lude of today's chest program. Ten graceful little dancers impersonated the 10 groups or organizations in the chest. From the little tike who portrayed the children's group to the bearded little fel low who represented the old folks, till the appeal and pathos interwoven in the chest story was forcefully presented. Dancing on the green lawn of the post office inside the big chest at Sixth and Morrison Btreet, a large crowd was drawn to view the quaint feature by a big siren, which was this morning installed on the chest. The climax of the program came with the appearance of the Spirit of the Chest, who gathered all of the 10 around her and with - her protecting arms gave promise to guard , them all from storm and stress. .-. JOSSELTir ISDOBSKS PLAS Voluntary and emphatic indorsement of the Community Chest plan and pledge to cooperate to the fullest in the present campaign to raise $850,000 for charitable and relief work has come to Mayor Baker from B. S. Josselyn in a letter received this morning, in which he says: "I am fully in accord .with the pur iiose of your campaign, as I feel it is a great step toward unification of ois civic affairs. It is plain that the maxi mum benefit cannot be derived from our contributions, while the cost of solicitation- by, the old method of ..Individual ap peal exceeds 15 per cent, of. the amount collected. ' So much has ' been said with regard to the other, advantages of the present plan that it is not necessary for me to add to them. I am sure that the campaign will be a success and if my becoming a member of your advisory board will be of assistance in any way it will afford .me much pleasure to serve." Boys Feast on Pies Pulled Through Hole A brick expertly applied made the hole u t.ne.h?!e In the plate glass window of IL H. Unruh's grocery store, 421 East Eleventh street,' Wednesday night.
