Famous Statue Again on Barney Lawn
ASHINGTON.—“ Natalie," the fam­
ous Darner statue, baa reap­
peared. Emerging from the seclusion
Into which It made an enforced retire­
ment last fall the lovely bit of mar­
ble, which may or may not be a rep­
resentation of the loveliness of Miss
Natalie Clifford Barney by her sister,
Miss Laura, again stands on the lawn
of Studio House, the palatial resi­
dence of Mrs. Alice Clifford Barney-
Hemmlck.
No vandal eye, however, will be per­
mitted to gaze upon the undraped
loveliness of the statue which set all
Washington talking last fall. The
caretaker of the Barney-Hemmlck
borne has not forgotten the stir the
statue caused and the order of the
chief of police. Major Richard Sylves­
ter, which caused It to be boxed and
taken Indoors. The Improvised fence
W
of barrel staves which the caretaker
erected last year between the lawn
and the street, where thousands gath­
ered to gaze on the statue, has been
replaced by a high concrete wall, pen­
etrated only by a gateway. Hence
only those who have field glasses and
residences which command a view of
the Barney-Hemmlck backyard will be
able to see the statue. Talented and
vivacious Mrs. Barney-Hemmlck (It
was only last spring she was married
In Paris to Christian Hemmlck, thirty-
five years her Junior) has returned
from Europe with her husband.
Mrs. Barney, the mother, was much
put out by the stir made by the
statue. The Barney family pooh pooh
the Idea that the statue was Inspired
by or represents Miss Natalie Barney.
They say a professional model was
used by Miss Laura Barney, as she
then was, who maintains a studio In
Paris. Some acquaintances Insist,
With the Idea of preparing a fitting
surrounding for the statue an elab­
orate garden will be laid out about
the Barney home. Unique plans, re­
flecting the originality and artistic
taste of the mistress of the mansion,
have been drawn. The statue will oo

Philadelphia, Pa.—Investigating the
death of an Infant that was found
scantily clad and drenched by the
rain, In an alley here, Coroner Ford
made the startling discovery that
there exists In Philadelphia a baby
farm where Innocent babes are bar­
tered and sold.
While the coroner listened aghast
he heard from Special Agent Klnkaid
of the Society to Protect Children
From Cruelty, that women have at­
tempted to coerce men Into matrimony
by getting babies from the farm and
foisting them off as their offspring
upon the men whom they sought to
wed.
—
From the lips of Lillian Hinkle, he
learned that she had purchased a baby
for five dollars from the baby farm.
The woman was held, charged with
the death of the child, by Coroner
Ford, by special request of Assistant
District Attorney Patterson, without
ball, to await the action of the grand
Jury.
With the Hinkle woman was held
Edwin Rose, who gave the same ad­
dress as the woman. He was charged
with being Implicated with the girl
and was not admitted to ball. It was
i brought out In the testimony that Rose
and the Hinkle woman had been en
gaged to marry, but that the union
was opposed by the young man’s fam­
ily.
The woman admitted when question­
ed that she and Rose had schemed to­
gether to outwit his parents by buying
the baby then declaring to his father
and mother that the child was their
own.
Explaining the Infant’s death,
she says It sickened suddenly, and
she did not know what to do with It.
When she found It dead In the morn­
ing, she says she walked the streets
for hours carrying the body, and final­
ly abandoned It in an alley.

California Officials Hit Hard by New

Sacramento, Cal.— Any official of the
state of California who cares to wear
creased trousers on official business

so will pay for the laundering of col­
lars soiled In travel or else go on wear­

being no permissible terms strong
enough to express the disapproval of
the state board of control against such
luxury. The new regulations, wherein
are set forth these facts, simply say
