Labor and legal fees, involving about twenty attorneys, will fall to the objectors. Also noted: a Joliet police report and a blacksmith shop burglary inquiry underway.

The organization continues its work for orphans and has no ties to the bankrupt American Home-Finding Association, which had about 400 state children under its care.
