ABANDONED CHILDREN
Mr. Graham's bill [S. 258] to provide for the care of orphan and abandoned children (see page 135 of these reports) was read the second time, with a Committee recommendation that it lie on the table.
Mr. CHAPMAN would be glad to hear any objection to any proposition in this bill, 258. Its only purpose is to declare what shall be considered legally as abandoned children, and he could see no reason why it should not become a law. He urged reasons and cited illustrations.
Mr. SPANN also favored the bill, and gave credit to the author for taking a step in the right direction.
Then came a recess till 2 o'clock.
