Jeffries Her One Best BetEthel Barry more Is for Him

New York, March 24. James J. Jef fries, erstwhile world's champion, is Ethel Barrymore's "one best bet" should the big Californlan be teased into a pugilistic encounter with "Mistah Johnsing" of Australia and other places. The cares of matrimony, seemed to rest lightly on "Ethel," or. rathers, Mrs. Russell G. Colt, "if you please," as she voiced her championship of the white man while witnessing his stunts at a local theater. . . ,-, Flying Trip to See "Jeff." Mrs. Colt' and her youthful husband made a flying trip from Boston to see the Jeffries show and the latter smiled indulgently as the actress smiled indulgently as the actress enthused over "Jeff's" blocks and swings. JAMES BOYLE AND HIS WIFE PRACTICALLY ADMIT GUILT (Continued From Page One.) the chief how he raised the money, "John Doe" just grinned and - kept quiet. "What She Says, Goes." "Listen to what the woman tells you, Whatever she says goes," he remarked once to the police. The wornan herself said during the"course of the night, "I am the kid that framed up this job all right.". The woman is tall and blonde. She appears to be about twenty-five years old, although she says she 13 younger. Her face is pitted with smallpox scars. She wore a black silk dress, a gray cloak and a black hat. The man wore a gray suit and a light soft hat. The clothes of the man and the woman were new. Several sales slips were found in their purses, showing that they had purchased the clothes Tuesday. Willie Whitla's place of captivity, while he was kept in Cleveland, was aft old abandoned residence in Prospect avenue, S. E., diagonally opposite the Plymouth' congregational church. This fact was learned by the police, acting on meager information furnished by the boy before he was taken to Sharon by his father. The house hit Upon by the kidnapers has not been occupied for some time. In the rear of the building are Btables. While Imprisoning the Whitla boy In the old house, the kidnapers, man and woman, ate most of their meals at the restau rant of the Hotel Thorpe, 2113 Prospect avenue, S. E., just across the street' This enabled then to return to their charge without leaving - him alone long. "About five days ago." said Thomas E. Thorpe, the proprietor of the hotel, today, "a man and a woman began coming to the hotel for their meals. I know now that they resembled the descriptions I have read of the kidnap ers. Neither offered any information concerning their business. The' man wore dark spectacles, the very ones I suppose that the boy had on at the time of his return. They never brought Ihe boy here.' The discovery of Billy WbiUa's hiding place was toade by Detective Bernard after a talk with Billy. The boy remembered but little distinctly, but he recalled that he had been kept in a house from which he could see tall trees, a stone church and a sign of "Thorpe's HoteL" FOUGHT DESPERATELY. Shots Fired Before Kidnapers Were Subdued. Cleveland, Ohio, March 24-Late last

"I have known 'Jeff for five years," said Mrs. Colt, "and he is in as good condition now as he ever was. If he is going to fight that black bluff now is the time to get to him. I hope he'll kill him." The actress is a close follower of the fighting game, and as Jeffries worked his massive muscles in various exercises Mrs. Colt exclaimed blithely: Spells "Good-By, Mr. Johnsing." "Every one of those moves says 'good by, Mlstah Johnsing,' " and added that she would be willing to back Jeffries tomorrow against any one In the world. At the close of the exhibition Miss Barrymore's parting admonition was plainly heard. "Jeff can beat him right now. I'll back tiim to win easy."

night the Cleveland police arrested a man and a woman who apparently were on their way to a railroad station. The pair made an effort to get away and were shot at by detectives before they were captured. , The woman, who was heavily veiled, carried a valise. The valise was opened and found to contain $9,845 in bills of small denominations. The police compared the bills with the numbers on the notes which were paid over by Attorney James P. Whitla, when he put up the $10,000 ransom in the east end of Cleveland Monday for the recovery of his boy "Billy." Man's Description. The man has a smooth face, with evidences of a recent shave. He is about five feet seven inches in height, rather heavy set, and answers to the description of one of the kidnapers, except that the stubby mustache is gone. The woman is young and good looking. She made. a desperate effort to hold on to the valise of money when being taken into the station. She fought like a tigress, but was overpowered. Cleveland police have spread a net all over the city, and a number of other men are under surveillance. "You've Got Us" She Says. When being examined the woman said: , "You've got us. . "There will be hell to pay in Sharon tomorrow. "Wait till Buhl hears about this. w "Yes, its the ransom, all right "Some dirty dog has told." The Whitla family was communicated with as quickly as possible and an effort is being made to get additional facts on which direct evidence may be based. . Chief Kohler said after examining the two people: "I believe the people under arrest are the kidnapers. Our men worked on the case all the evening and were looking for this very couple since Monday morning." Mr. Whitla, over the telephone, was asked if he would 'prosecute the couple in case they were identified as the kidnapers, and he replied: ' "You bet your life I will!" "It certainly looks to me as if these were the people." said Mr. Whitla, after the man and woman had been described to him over the telephone. "I am greatly pleased and have just told Billy," who is all excited over it . " Billy : gave a description to me this morning of the man who had him, and I already have forwarded this to the Cleveland police." Formerly In a Convent. . The woman appears to be well educated. She told the police' that she had been for 15 years in a convent As to her relations with the man she would not talk. The pair Were arrested soon after coming out of an Ontario street saloon, not far front Central Polios station, tt Iras their SttsjsclOuJl-sitttefis tirt refms

al to explain who they were that led to

their arrest. The money is done up in packages, each bearing a pink slip marked 'Law rence, Saratoga, N. Y." As the list of the bill numbers given to the public is only a partial one, it may take hours to identify the money. Messages have been sent to the de tectives asking for an entire list. . Mr. Whitla later practically identi fled the money recovered at) the police station as part of that which he paid over as a ransom for his son. He said it was in $o00 packages bearing pink slips, with the words "Lawrence, Sara toga, Ky.," on each slip. When the police matron was search ing the woman more thoroughly later, she found considerable money sewed in the prisoner's skirts. "Captain Shattuckt and myself were attracted by the movement of the trio and approached them with a view to learning their identity,! said Detective Ward, late last night "'Whither are you bound In such haste?" inquired the police captain. "The man and the woman started to run. "We took up the chase and captured them xmly after shots had been fired." Says Prisoners Are the Ones. Captain Sbattuck issued the following statement at midnight: "In the arrest here of a man and a woman having $9,700 In their possession we believe we have captured the kidnapers of Willie Whitla: In fact, the woman in the case, who is greatly excited, admitted that she had been responsible for the kidnaping. When placed in custody at the Central Police station she said: "I am the one who planned the whole thing. There will be trouble for me and hell in Sharon tomorrow.' Beneath the woman's skirt was found $9,790. All of it but 40 was bound in packages with the original slips placed on the money when Whitla took it from the bank still around It. Both the man and the woman deny that they know the name of each other. They were intoxicated when placed in custody. Due to their condition, they were not questioned closely, and were locked in separate cells. The man says that he has been a resident of Cleveland for IT years. He claims to have a mother and a sister here.Captaln Shattuck is said to have secured his description of the kidnapers from Willie Whitla and this description led to the arrest Willie Whitla told Captain Shattuck on Monday that the Woman who kept him a prisoner had smallpox scars on her face. The woman in custody has red spots on her cheek's and appears to have had smallpox. She is a tall blonde, probably 25 years old. -She was dressed in a black silk skirt, a gray coat and black hat. Detectives Get the Tip. Yesterday detectives heard that a man and a woman answering the description of the kidnapers had been on the outskirts of the city. They came down town and bought i numerous articles of clothing, tender ing five and tea dollar bills in payment, it was learned. Later a report came that the people had left a package in a downtown store, which proved to consist of discarded clothing. Captain Shattuck and detectives trailed the man and Woman around the business district of the city for several hours during the afternoon, but delayed taking them Into custody. Shortly after nightfall the police learned that the two had gone to the east end of the city. The police walk-ed-up behind the pair and Captain

OPPONENTS PRESS HARD DURING THE ADDRESS OF THE FATHER OF THE BILL HE WAS BADGERED UNTIL HE BECAME QUITE WROTH.

Washington. D. C, March 24. Occupying the entire session of the house yesterday, Mr. Payne of New York, chairman of the committee on ways and means, concluded his speech in explanation of the tariff bill. He was on his feet almost all of the five hours and ten minutes that he had the floor. At times he gave evidence of being greatly fatigued, and leaned on his desk, hoping in that way to get a little rest. The majority leader began his speech this morning in no particularly good frame ot mind, but as the day wore oh he exhibited the best of hu mor. He closed amid the plaudits of the republicans, who crowded about him and extended their congratula tions. Mr. Payne's arguments covered a wide field. He took the position that the bill would not injure the tin plate or steel file industries of the United States, and that free hides would not be a menace to the farmers. He discussed the inheritance tax at great length, and said it was preferable to an income tax, because it would not give rise to perjury or fraud. He held to the view, also, that an income tax was wholly Unconstitutional. Members Assail Payne Harshly. As soon as Payne took the floor he was assailed with questions from. all sides. . He asked for a respectful hearing and tartly declared that the mem bers were making the task of finishing his speech almost impossible. Representative Garrett of Tennessee roused Mr. Payne's anger when he in quired if the bill as a whole were hot "revision upward." "The gentleman has no right to say that," the republican leader sharply an nounced. "It Is not fair to say that as an honorable man." He declared, that, take nas a whole, the . revision was downward, but as to luxuries it was, lie said, revision upward, and ought to be. He said that any intelligent man by reading the bill could un derstand its general trend, and ' he charged that the idea of interpolating such a remark as that made by Mr. Garrett was not fair to himself, to the committee, nor to the country. , An instant later Mr. Payne had a sharp colloquy with Representative Garner of Texas, who asked for an explanation regarding free hides. "I Will get to hides," said Mr. Payne hotly. "I know it is a local issue with the gentleman," said he, "and I know he will try to hide himself behind a revenue duty in order to meet the demands of those democrats in his district who are clamoring for a duty on hides." "The democrats ih my district," quickly retorted Mr; Garner, " are also clamoring for free leather, free harness and free shoes." Continuing his explanation and answering many queries, Mr. Payne said that the cut in the metal schedule would not destroy the tin plate industry In the United States. CLEMENCY SHOVII TOJOAIIG THIEF Judge Converse Lets Him Go After Lecture. Clemency was shown by Judge Converse in the city court this afternoon and this fact alone saved Clyde Brooks from a jail sentence. Brooks is but twenty years old and entered a plea of guilty to the charge of petit larceny. Had there been a finding of guilty he could not have avoided a jail sentence. It was his first offense, however, and as he is a minor the court was lenient He . reprimanded the young man severely and released him upon suspended judgment Brooks stole, six pounds of babbit metal from Robinson & Co. He sold It to Sam Jaffey, a junk dealer, for 20 cents. The metal was melted up by an employe of Jaffey. although originally it was in ingot form. It was worth about 75 cents. PALLADIUM WANT ADS. PAY. Shattuck took the woman by the arm, Detective Ward securing the man. The pair staggered, cay the police, as j if they were intoxicated. They at j first made no protest against accom-! pa hying the officers. The man was downcast and would not talk. The woman chatted with the policeman at her side at first and asked to be released..;. . . " It was then she admitted having planned the kidnaping. The next instant they attempted to escape, but the revolver shots of the sleuths brought them to a standstill.
