Pittsburg June 1. Kidnappers seek
ing the little three-year-old grandson of D. M. Clemson, one of Pittsburg's
millionaire steel manufacturers, secured the little son of the Clemson family chaffeur by mistake and the
police are now seeking the bungling
abductors.
The child taken by mistake was
found wandering miles from the Clemson home, where It had been abandoned after the kidnappers discovered the mistake.
Richard Clemson the three-and-one-
half-year-old son of Ralph E. Clemson and grandson of D. M. Clemson, was the objective victim. The little one taken captive was Ralph Benson, of me same age, who is the Bon of Ralph
Benson, driver of the Clemson autos.
Mrs. D. M. Clemson bad taken a
fancy to the little son of the chaffeur and had provided it with child's dotti
ng of the finest textures. Conse
quently the little fellow looked the part of the Clembon heir.
Both children were playing near
some shrubbery some distance from the Clemson residence in Woodland road when two strangers came along. They picked up the best dressed and the liveliest of the pair, and when the little fellow lisped, "Benson" as his name it la thought the abductors understood him to say Clemson. One seised the Benson child, smothered Its cries and carried it off, disappear-
ng through the Woodland road sec
tion.
The other little fellow hardly under
stood but his weeping and the fact that
the Benson child could not be found caused searching parties to spend hours throughout the wooded districts
surrounding the Clemson home. A po
liceman picked up the little wanderer
CRUSADE AGAINST
VICIOUS SALOONS Chicago, June 7. A nation-wide campaign to clean ont the vicious sa
loons has been launched in Chicago,
It terms Itself a true temperance movement, as distinguished from the
prohibition movement, and declares
that It alma aa much to get freedom 'from the "blind pigs," -blackleg" deal-
era and near soft drink parlors of the
prohibition states as from the disord
erly saloons.
Wholesale liquor dealers, gathering
In Chicago from all parte of the Unit
4 States declared, as their National
Executive committee assembled, that they had seen the handwriting on the wall by the prohibition forces and declared themaelvei ready to stand behind a wholesale house cleaning in
the liquor trade.
They called loudly for more string
ent legal regultalon of saloons, for a , more efficient enforcement of the law ,ln states and cities where the license i system prevails, and the universal extension of the licensing system,
:with more emphasis upon the character of the licenses than the amount of
the license fee. ', . ,. .
One of the "Jokes', passed around
.among the delegates was the recent formal proclamation, of tb.e mayor of : Bangor, Main, ordering all saloons In
that city closed after the fire ther.
Bangor is strictly prohibition territory
so far as toe statute books go.

London, June 7. Miss Olive MacLeod, who left England in August last.
to visit the grave of her fiance, Lieut.
Boyd Alexander, who was murdered
by natives in Central Africa, has ar
rived in England. She was met by her father. Sir Reginald MacLeod, when she landed In the early hours of the morning, and left for Paddington. Thence she proceeded by motor car to ber beautiful home. Vintners, near Maidstone. Altogether the African Journey consisted of 3,700 miles, mostly on foot
or horseback. P. A. Talbot, district
commissioner of Nigeria, and Mrs.
Talbot accompanied her during the whole Journey, and wer responsible for the arrangements. Among the many trophies that Miss MacLoed brought home were two baby lions, which were presented to her in French Nieria. Miss MacLeod was very eager to take them home with her. but being now 6 months old. they were thought to be rather dangerous pets for Maidstone, and have been sent to the zoo. Sir Regineld MacLeod gave a short outline of his daughter's Journey through Nigeria a country which for purely private reasons is of great interest to her. "A full and detailed account of her Journey will very likely be published in the near future," he said. "She is, I am glad to say, in excellent health, and, beyond the rough cooking and the difficulty of beating
a way through the dense bush, inseparable from such expeditions, suffered no great hardships." During the journey Miss MacLeod traversed land across which no white woman has ever been before. At times the party included as many as eighty natives, these being required to carry the stores and food. Miss MacLeod, with her companions, on arriving at the west coast of Africa, traveled up the Niger as far as she could go in the steamer and ca
noes.
After going through southern and
northern Nigeria the expedition reached French Mbangi in October and the
falls on the Mao Kali were located.
According to the testimony of
French officers and natives, these 'alls had never been seen before, and
n honor of "the brave English girl"
oing to visit ber sweetheart's grave
he French authorities asked for per
mission to name the falls, Les Chutes
MacLeod."
Pushing on into the heart of Africa,
Miss MacLeod proceeded through the
Tuburl Jakes, and eventually reached
the Shad!, down which she traveled to Lake Chad.
Here the upicturesque rocks of
HadJ-el-Hamis were inspected, which
are held in veneration for miles around.
The highest peak of these rocks was
climbed by Miss MacLeod and her companions a feat which the natives
declared to be impossible.
Lake Chad was then crossed in ko-
toko canoes. This journey took eight
days, five of which were spent out of
3ight of land.
Near Lake Chad, the grave of Lieut.
Boyd Alexander was visited the pa
thetic object of Miss MacLeod's long
Journey.
Discussing her travels at Plmouth
Miss MacLeod said that the greater part of the route chosen was unknown
to Britishers.
On arriving at Lagos she said she
was surprised to near rumors that
Miss MacLeod had been massacred
and eaten by cannibals.
Experiments with Patient's Blood Satisfactory. Boston, Mass., June 7. Hope is promised for the cancer stricken through unique experiments conducted by Dr. Timothy Leary, medical examiner and pathologist of Tuft's Medical school and Dr. Edward H. Risley of the Massachusetts General hospital. Following the ideas of the late Dr. Hodenpyl of New York, they have been injecting a fluid obtained from cancer sufferers into other cancer patients. It was the theory of Dr. Hodenpyl that in the blood and body foods of cancer sufferers there is some prop
erty which develops immunity to the cancer, if it can be secured and prop
erly used.
This great surgeon was putting his
ideas into practice when death from
pneumonia put a sudden stop to his
work. Dr. Risley says:
"This work, together with the X-ray has impressed me with the fact that
much can be done for the relief of can
cer patients. While cures and bene
fit cannot be expected in every case,
and in spite of the fact that no cures have been accomplished, the work has
emphasized the fact that much symp-i
tomatic relief can be given to suitable cases." Will Be Made Public Dr. Leary is using some of the original Hodenpyl fluid extracted from a patient who was particularly resistant to the disease. It is asserted that one patient whose case was considered hopeless has been treated at the Tufts Medical college and has remained well for the last two years. Dr. Leary contends that the treatment cannot be spoken of as a cure, but the results of his experiments are to be made public shortly.

DOG GAVE ITS LIFE
FOR SAKE OF CHILD
Patchogue, N. Y., June 7. Three-
year-old Jennie Schwartz, daughter of
Frederick Schwartz, was playing in
the streets in front of her home and
Bob, a bird dog owned by Charles Murdock. was lying on the sidewalk
apparently watching her. An automobile shot arouud the corner from
Ocean avenue. The child was directly in the machine's path. The dog sprang up, ran into the road, and, giving the child a push with its head, shoved her out of harm's way. It was itself killed. The motorist shot away in his car before bystanders could read its number. PASTOR LEFT HOUR OLD INVALID BRIDE
Lancaster, Pa., June 7. Miss Mary Klingaman of Jacksonville and the Rev. Border Levi Stanley, of Shenandoah Junction were married in the General hospital. Miss Klingaman came to this city to be present at the graduation and ordination of her affianced husband, and while here was taken ill and sent to the hospital. While she was still seriously ill the hospital physician allowed the bride to be up for one hour . for the ceremony. When that time had expired Rev. Stanley bade his bride farewell and left for his charge in West Virginia.
An effort to beat his way into the city from the carnival grounds on a city street car last evening, cost Everett Tracy, a 16-year-old negro, his left leg and put him on the brink between life and death. Jumping from city car No. 322, just after it had passed Fifteenth street In order to avoid paying the conductor his fare. Tracy ran directly in front of the 11 o'clock east bound interurban, enroute to Dayton. The boy was violently hurled to the ground and his body passed under the
fender and the front wheels ran over his left leg between the knee and the
ankle. His nose was torn almost en
tirely otr and he was bleeding pro
fusely from numerous wounds, cuts and bruises when he was pulled from
beneath the car.
The city ambulance was called and
Tracy was removed to the Reid Me
morial hospital where his left leg was amputated Just below the knee, his nose sewed on and his other wounds
attended to. He was reported this morning as having passed through the operation as well as could be expected.
At the hospital this afternoon it was
reported that Tracy was very low and
little hope was entertained for his re covery. Leader of a Gang.
Tracy was with several other young
negroes who boarded the car at the
carnival grounds, and he seemed to be the leader of the bunch. They clung
to the back fender and the foot railings on the rear part of the car. Every time the conductor would at
tempt to reach to collect fares one of the negroes would yell "thar he
comes; everybody jump," and they
would tumble off in all directions.
This performance was repeated sev
eral times before the accident befell
Tracy. At Sevententh street one of
the negroes in jumping from the car was struck by a bicycle rider, and at Sixteenth street several narrowly
escaped being run down by a motor-
cycilist.
The speed of the car was slow in or
der that the conductor might collect
all fares before anyone desired to get
off.
Shortly after the car had passed Fif
teenth street the cry of warning was
sounded and Tracy, in frantic haste
jumped from the car directly in the
path of the interurban. His body was
pushed along under the car for some
distance before it could be stopped
His left leg was crushed to a pulp where the wheels passed over it and his right leg was badly gashed. There
was a long jagged gash in his ton
gue believed to have been caused by
his teeth. Tracy did not loose con
sciousness.
The city car was in charge of C. L.
Shimp, conductor, and J. Pickering, motorman. Tracy is said to live with his parents in North G street.

What?" shouted Miss Young. Then she made a swing at the judge.
Three policemen tried to grab her.
She swung on them with the punch
that made Bob Fitzsimmons famous.
Her swings were coming so rapidly
that they were forced to beat a hasty retreat.
Four other policemen grabbed her,
pinoned her arms to her side, and she was hustled off to the workhouse.

HUNT HORSE THIEF
ROUGH SAILING IS
ASSUREDJIEW CODE
The Building .Ordinance Has
Many Enemies in Ranks of City Officials.
President Hammond, of the board of ;
works handed over the building cod ordinance, a S-page document, drawn
up by the Commercial club, to City Clerk. B. A. Bescher, this morning. It
will.be considered at a special meeting of the city council, to which all citizens interested are Invited to attend. It will be held next Monday night. A similar ordinance was presented some time ago. but council considered it Impractical and returned It to the Commercial club, for revision, which has been done. The defeat of the code ordinance ft almost certain, even before its being read to council. The city officials who have looked over its provisions, say it is not the right kind of an ordinance for Richmond. By it the office of building inspector is created. This of
ficial must be a practical builder, or an architect. He must give a bond of J2.000 per year. Officials say that
such a man would cost the city at least $1,200 per year.
Richmond cannot afford another of
ficial, it is pointed out, at this salary, as Mayor Zimmerman is constantly saying the city cannot make certain necessary street Improvements because of lack of funds. Some council-
men say the upkeep of the streets Is more important than the employment
of a building inspector.
Besides the fact that the city can not afford a building inspector, it Is claimed that under the provisions of the new ordinance, a poor man cannot build a new house. The ordinance specifies how- cement shall be mixed, with the proportion of water, sand and cement, and how flues shall be built Uned with tile and other materials to be used. It Is full of other minute regulations as to the constructions of all sorts of buildings.
The police received information of
the operations of a horse thief in
Winchester, who stole a horse and
buggy from Tull Wilson, a liveryman,
of that place. Sheriff N. U. Strattan, of Randolph county, has no clue as to
the whereabouts of the alleged thief.
The Huartae or Lire. Infant and children are constantly a fliar m laxative. It ia important to know what to awe them. Their stomach and bo welt are not strong enough for salts, pars-stive waters or cathartic pills, powders or tablets. Give them a mild, pleasant, gentle. laxative tonic like Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin, which sells at the small sum of 50 cents or Si at drug stores. It is the one great remedy for you to have in tha house to give children when they need it.
OWES $12,000; HAS $85 IN REAL MONEY
Los Angeles, Cal., June 7. "The Wizard of Oz" has run out of -magic. In fact, he "is stone broke." Fiank Baum, his creater, announced that as the Wizard has stopped magicing, he, Baum, would have to enter a petition in voluntary bankruptcy and ask the court to please liquidate his $12,000 worth of debts with $85 and two typewriters the author and playwright still owns. "I tried to do too much," is the way Baum puts it. Not satisfied with the shekels that were rolling in upon him from his plays and books, Baum thought of a new way of making money. According to the idea he went on a lecture tour. The lecture was all right, but Baum says it rained in every town he visited, and the people would not
come to listen. Hence the bankrupt
