FOR CHRISTMAS GIFT? Here Is a Bouncing Buster Who'll Make Any Home Happy. HIGH BORN, TOO, HE LOOKS. Waif From the West He Is, and Now Mrs. Don Seitz Wants Haven for Him. This is the tale of a waif from the West, a black-eyed, bouncing baby boy.

Into whose short eleven months of life have been crowded a deal of mystery and adventure. By a strange and mysterious turn of fate the little fellow has been borne on the winds of fortune nearly 1.400 miles from the spot where he first came Into the life of his benefactors, the wife of a well-to-do up-State civil engineer who litis since moved to Brooklyn. And now he's here In the borough of homes, homeless. The good woman who had for a time undertaken his guardianship, too 111 to longer care for him, is now Becking some good family which is yearning for a babe to bring into it the real spirit of the Christniasttde. No ordinary child of fortune Is this.

Until his mother disappeared three Months Jgo, as mysteriously us If swallowed up by the ground, he was being reared by a refined and educated woman of culture. For his mother was a woman of distinction. But here is the tot's story as told by Mrs. Don C. Seitz of 237 Hancock street, who has been interested in the search to find a suitable home for the little waif: That he now finds himself in Brooklyn Is due solely to the seemingly dlscon One of the Interesting incidents in connection with today's report of the Do-Something Club Is the announcement tf a donation from a Brooklyn manufacturer who wishes his name withheld.

He gives the same contribution this year as last 100 pounds of cocoa In one pound tins; 100 pounds of sugar, In one pound packages, and 100 cans of condensed lnllk of a high grade. His only stipulation Is that the food shall be distributed among 100 families. The number of small contributions indicates the general appeal that the Do-Something Club is making. As Christmas Eve approaches the call becomes moro Insistent for aid for poor families whose worthiness Is vouched for by the Bureau of Charities. Checks should be made out to The Eagle Do-Something Club an-1 cash donations addresed In the same manner.

LOST On WednemlHy afternoon Gold llui I i I i 1 I i Has Eight Assembly Districts Pledged to Him as Against Five for Dockam.

TEN DISTRICTS ARE DIVIDED. Lineup of Moose Leaders Indicates Aronstam Will Succeed Late T. L. Woodruff as County Chairman. Progressives who have canvassed the sentiment of the twenty-three Assembly Districts in Kings County within the past week, stated today that Charles S.

Aronstam had at least eight Bolid districts behind Ills candidacy for the county chairmanship, and that Edward II. Dock-am had five pledged to him. The other ten, the lenders say, are either doubtful or hopelessly divided. The district leaders who with solid delegations are counted on to support Aronstnm are: Ellas Marks of the Sixth, William J. McRoberts of the Ninth; Thomas F.

Gannon of the Eleventh, the Twelfth, of which Aronstr.m himself Is leader; Westcrvelt Prentice of the Thirteenth, Ernest C. Wagner of the Fourteenth, Dr. Thurston H. Dexter of the Seventeenth and Samuel Greenblatt' of the Twenty-first. The district leaders whose allegiance is said to be pledged to Dockam are; Julian B.

Thomas of the Seventh, the Tenth, of which Dockam himself is leader; Henry S. Burger of the Fifteenth, Allison L. Adams of the Sixteenth and George U. Forbell ot the Twenty-second. Leaders in the "Divided" Districts.

The district leaders whose districts aro rated as "divided" and whoso delegations have so far failed to register a choice as between Dockam and Aronstam aro: Michael A. Fitzgerald, of the First; Abraham Noden, of the Second; Christopher Larkin. of the Third; Andrew J. O'Ncil, I of the Fourth; Jesse Fuller, of tho Fifth; James F. Rourke, of the Edward Allen, of the Eighteenth; Henry H.

Ray, of the Nineteenth; Alexander X. M. Wacko, of tho Twentieth, and Jacob L. Holtzmann, of the Twenty-third. Of the districts mentioned for Aronstam all but two are positively on record to support him.

These two are the Twelfth, of which be is the leader, and the Eleventh, of which Thomas L. Gannon is the State Committeeman. The latter district passed a resolution declaring Aronstam "able to fill any office within the gift of the party," and this was taken to indicate that the district would support him for tho vice chairmanship. Of the districts rated as Dockain's all but his own have passed resolutions pledging support to Mm. Leader Allen of the Eighteenth Is Personally Pledged to Aronstam.

Edward W. Allen, leadet of the Eighteenth, one of the so-called doubtful districts, has pledged, his personal support to Aronstam, but Ills Assembly District Committee has taken no olllciul action and word from the section is that the committee Is too hopelessly divided to make possible its solid delivery to either candidate next Tuesday when the County Committee meets to elect a successor to the late Timothy L. Woodruff. Jesse Fuller, of the Fifth another doubtful district. Is said to be opposed to Aronstam supporters.

The District Coni-cused so far as could be learned today. The Fourth, of which Andrew J. O'Neil is the leader. Is said to be predominated by Aronstam supporters. The district committee will meet tonight to take action.

Some of tho big men In the First, among them former Assistant District Attorney Robert H. Elder, havo come out openly for Aronstam, and although the District Committee has as yet taken no action the Aronstam forces are hopeful that it will yet line up solidly with them. CHURCH NOT TO HAVE TANGO, But New Steps Will Be Taught Under Christ Church Aid Society's Direction. The movement in Christ Church, Bed-lor avenue, near Division street, of which Canon William SUcafe Chase is rector, to put modern dancing on a proper plane for church-goers, was not. as stated In yesterday's Eagle, undertaken as a work of the vestrymen of the church.

Cniion Chase stated today thnt it was incorrectly reported that the vestrymen had engaged a dancing teacher. The teacher has been engaged by tho Church Aid Society of the church, with the approval of the vestrymen, and the dancing will be carried on under the direction of this society, which docs the work of a ladles aid organization. The dancing teacher will not give Instruction In 'he "tango" or the "trot." It Is to correct the extreme forms of new dances that the movement has been undertaken. Instruction will be given, however. In some of tho new steps without following the "tango" as It is carried out.

As Canon Chase puts it. the dancing teacher Is to give instructions, not in any "new dance," but in the "newest dances." there being a distinction there that eliminates the objectionable dance, and at the same time gives the young people new steps that have the approval of the church authorities. DROWNED WHEN HIT BY BALE. Struck with a bale of hemp that fell from the pile on the pier, Charles Pagono, 22 years old, who lived at 253 West Nlne- tmnth nlrcct. wan knocked Into thu rtvnr and drowned yesterday afternoon at the foot of Joralem in street.

A search for I his body revealed nothing, nnd it was evident tout the stream had carried it off immediately. "AMERICA" IN HEART SONGS. Some' time around Christmas the stork Is expected, and the little baby sister or brother he brings will be the only gift four poor little kiddles may enjoy this Merry Yuletide. And for all one knov.i, Mr. Stork may come before Christinas morn or days afterward, which would surely upset ail traditions and cause those youngsters to wonder if it were true that there is a real, lionest-to-good-ness Santy.

Of course, the kiddies are overjoyed to think (hat there's going to be another prattling baby In the cheerless home, and they're just hoping that Santa will brirg heaps of goodies along with him. But the prospects of any gift, except the new baby, are very slim, for their shiftless father deserted the home these many months. He left the mother to shift for herself and the four, Ill-fed children. The children are too young to understand the gravity of the situation and the suffering their mother has endured. With an event, which under other circum stances, would undoubtedly be hailed with joy, soon expected, she has been unable to toll over the washtub to provide sufficient food to keep the youngsters from feeling the pangs of hunger, and coal and wood and clothing to keep them warm.

It matters not what suffering and mis ery they see In that tenement home, with their mother trying bravely to bear up In the face of a dismal Christmas that must surely be unless The Eagle Do- Something Club sees to it that these four faith In the generosity of Santa, they ex pect more than the new baby. Now, then, here's a chance, members of The Eagle Do-Somtthing Club, to see to it that the four youngsters get something for Chrlstiiiuo besides the new baby Here Are the Fifteen Families 151.

Then came the i tornado, and In the resulting confusion I left In Its destructive path it was de- elded that tho invalid should return to rinfri.in In nltn of the obtections ot her husband, sho brought the baby back with her. He wanted her to leave It with some Institution, but she thought the child too good for Recently the family of the civil engineer moved to Brooklyn, and Baby Knight came, too. But the health of the civil engineer's wife was falling again, nnd It was finally decided that they must give up the child. While Mrs. Seltr, is searching for a suitable home, the child Is being temporarily cared for by a friend of the Invalid.

One glance at the little fellow, who Is known only as "Baby," convinced Mrs. Seitz that he has a future. Ho is a plump little fellow, healthy and well-developed for his eleven months. He has pure white skin, and his hair Is very dark. HU flashing black eyes reflect his brightness.

"A splendid Christmas present he'd make for some good family where a baby (3 needed to make the holiday complete," said Mrs. Seitz, after enthusiastically telling the story of the waif. She Is very anxious to find a home for the tot before Christmas, so that It will have a Pleasant Introduction to Santa Cluus. TANGO LEADS TO SHOOTING. Criticism of a Girl Guest Breaks Uj?

G. V. LEYIS Cro C.rl Weds Watsrbury, Man With a Checkered Matrimonial Career. HE WAS THRICE DIVORCED. ericlesTooni, 04 Bride, 20 Her Mother Pummeled Lewis With an Umbrella Two Years Ago.

Charles Waller Lewis, of Walerbury, whose varied matrimonial expe- rienees have included three marriage ceremonies and three divorce actions, and who was attacked with list and club, jfill, by Mrs. Mary liiiinuin, of ,339 13 attentions to Miss Elsie Marie Hinman, was married yesterday nt New Rochello to the Brooklyn girl. At the timo nor nttack on Lewis, Mrs. Hin- man 8ni'l "ho had not seen her daughter In three months and accused him of having taken Elsie away. The new Mrs.

Lewis has been away from home for some time, and recently has been visiting at the homo of Mr. and Mrs. David W. Glasser, at 10 May street, New Rochello. She left her mother more '-linn a year ago, when her father, Charles J.

Hinman, left his home and went to live at 527 Riverside Drive. Mrs. Hinman was granted a separation from Hinman, a wine salesman, lust February, and her two sons, John Jay and Harold B. Hinman, lciimined with uer. while the daughter, Elsie, went with her father.

who has a summer home at Bantam Lake, has known his present bride since the summer of 1911. The Hinmans then had a summer place at Woodbury, and the daughter was said to have been a companion of Lewis ou many wild automobile rides. On May 30 of that year, Mrs. Hliinian and her son, John Jay lllnnian. trailed Lewis to a hotel in Woodbury.

The son smashed a window in order to pet at Lewis and punched him in the face. Mrs. Hinman used an umbrella, to jab Lewis. Two days later the assailants were each fined $7 on each of four counts in connection with the afi'air, and wero also sentenced to jail, but the jail sentence was suspended. Lewis' third wlf.i, who was Mrs.

Harriet Hlne Crofut, proprietor of the Oxford Inn at Oxford, hud just previously begun her divorce suit against -ewis and tne i Lewis and tne decree was entered in January of last year She was given an i ward of 15,000. Lewis' first wile, got her divorce in 1SS7, and his second, to wham he v. as married in lS'Jl, divorced him in 1907. When the wedding ceremony was performed yeste.day Mrs. Iliuman was present and smiled happily, forgetting entirely the Incidents of 1911.

Lewis, who Is .14 years of age. appeared overjoyed, and handed around gold pieces, besides the generous fee, to Mayor Frederick Waldorf of New Rochelle. His bride said she was 20 years of age, but at the time of the, assault incident, two years ago, she was described by her mother as 15 years of age. OCEAN STEAMSHIPS.

After staying at one or two places which were unsatisfactory, the Invalid finally cook up her residence In a linaru-ing house, where she found the wife of a traveling salesman, who made a pleasant companion for her. But she, too, was none too well, and finally the woman from Buffalo found It necessary to advertise for a woman to come and work by the day. In answer to the "ad" came a refined, beautiful young woman, shockingly dissimilar to the sort the Invalid uud expected to apply for such a plebeian occupation. Could she wash clothes, do needlework and care for an Invalid? Oh, yes, she would try; she needed the money so badly.

Attracted by the personality of the young applicant, the Invalid secure her services. Inquiries as to her past revealed the fact that she came from a wealthy and socially prominent family on the coast. Her husband, who had a very responsible position, was on the coast for some big business Interests. Her name she gave as Mrs. Knight.

A little later the invalid learned that she had a very young baby for whom she had to care. The Invalid's heart went out to Mrs. Knight, for she seemed to be always very sad. Many times she was found weeping bitterly as she scrubbed clothes with her soft hands, unused to such work. For weeks Mrs.

Knight kept at her work, but it was evident that It was wearing her soul 'iwcy. Finally she fell sick, and one morning she brought her baby with her nnd asked her employer to care for it while she went to see a doctor. She appeared utterly worn out, not only In body, but In spirit as well. Kissing her babe goodby she started for the doctor's. She has never been seen or heard of since.

Worry turned to alarm, and in a few days the invalid began to realize that her woman-of-all-work had gone. A careful search was made throughout Omaha, but It was in vain. She had vanished completely. About a week later shabbily dressed woman dime Inquiring for relatives of Mrs. Knight.

The civil engineer's wife chanced to be asleep ot the time, so the strange visitor was asked to return In an hour. She, too, never came back. WTeeks passed, and gradually an affection sprang up between the little tot left 111 a strange home In such an unusual DEATHS.
