Word was received late yesterday afternoon that Robert Jogens, the ten-year-old son of William Jogens, 10943 Michigan avenue, was missing. He was sent to the store by his mother early in the morning to get some groceries and had some money in his posession with which to purchase them when he disappeared. When he had not returned in an hour after being sent to the store, which is but a block from his home, his mother became alarmed and went out to see if she could see any trace of him. Upon inquiring at the store it was found that he had not been there. His mother does not believe that he is kidnaped, but the father thinks that some man who is committing all the kidnaping deeds in and around Chicago has got his child. The father with a party of neighbors scoured the brush around the outskirts of the town and all the empty boxcars on the Nickel Plate were examined, but without the slightest clew to his whereabouts. The mother said that the boy had strayed away from home many a time but always returned, and she cannot account for the boy's whereabouts and is in a prostrated condition at her home.

Another big international union will establish headquarters in Washington, D. C.

The employes of the textile mills cor poration at Wesson, Miss., have pre sented to President Oldenheimer of that company, & proposition to accept a reduction of ten per cent, in wages until the depression in the textile in dustry Is overcome, when they will expect a resumption of th former scale of wages. Two hundred thousand cotton mill operators at Manchester, England, have been notified by the federation of cotton spinners that a reduction of wages will be enforced by the masters. If the spinners should protest a lockout will follow, which will throw as many more out of work in the otehr departments of the business. What's in a Name?

MISS LAURA L 1ELLS WEIRD STORY South Chicago Sensation Is Uncovered Near Pine Station Today. RESCUED BY SECTION BOSS Kidnapper Flees From Men "Who Rescued the Girl and Is At Large. (Special to The Times) Pine Station, Sept. 10. The escape of Ml Laura William, 0720 Avenae M, South Chlcng-o, from the hand- of her kldnnpper nt thin place last night, ma the most exciting: affair that lias oc curred here since the killing of the irild mnn a year nsr". The story which Miss Williams tells of the kidnapping, reads like a story book. She says that she and a school girl friend, Miss Blanche Spear, were walking down the E. & O. railroad tracks wne ntney noticed that a man was following them at a little distance behind. Tellsi Queer Tale. Finally the Spear girl left her friend and went to her home while the Wil Hams girl continued down the track on her way home. She says that the man walked up behind her and suddenly blindfolded her. According to her story this happened in the afternoon after school. She said that the man had a big black revolver and threatened to shoot her if she made an outcry. She says that they walked all. the way to Indiana Harbor and that just before reaching that place the man re moved the blindfold from her eyes The pair passed through Indiana Har bor and the man kept warning the girl not to make an outcry or he would shot her, while if she obeyed him she would not be harmed.

WILLIAMS. STREET GABS WILL BE WELLVEHTILATED Chicago's Health Commis sioner Provides For a New System. 10 00 IN EFFECT IN WINTER Traveling Public of South Chicago Will Be Benefited By New Arrangements. Starting this winter South Chicago, and in fact all the cars in Chicago, will be ventilated. iieaith Commissioner vans, after a series or experiments lasting over a year, announced yesterday that before cold weather sets in all the cars will be fitted out with the ventilating system. The general scheme provides for A steady suppy of fresh air. The raising of the temperature of this air to 60 degrees or more before it begins to circulte. Introduction of the fresh air from the bottom Of the car and escape of "used" air from the top. a minimum 01 neattnsr cost, con sistent with warmth. Street car companies, the board of supervising engineers, the division heads in the health department, and various architectural and civil engineers have collaborated In devising the new system. Heating Problem Ilnrtl. What is considered as perhaps the most serious problem is that of heating. All known systems are open to to criticism on the part of the railway companies, because it is charged that in using them it becomes necessary to heat, not only the new air but a diluted stream of the old, and much energy is used In this way. This objection, Dr. Evans said yesterday, is practically overcome. The final question, where in the car the ventilators shall be placed, is now under consideration. Dr. J. F. Biehn, superintendent of the laboratories, who is one of the experts working on the new device, is conducting a series of experiments to find in which part of a car the least dust settles, or gathers when the car is in motion. "The need for special ventilators did not exist in the old cars," said Dr. Evans yesterday. "That would have been Improving upon nature with a vengeance to put the mln a few years ago. The new cars, however, are nearly airtightt." Eastern Vanity. In addition to treachery and a certain innate love of cruelty, the oriental nature, as present in the ruling classes, i3 apt to be superabundantly endowed with a sense of its own importance, as is manifested in the ornate, elaborate and high-sounding titles assumed by eastern potentates.
