SEEKING HIS BOY.
Mr.. G. II. Ross Tells of His Last
Clue,
And How tlse Reporters Got Hold Of
It and Spoiled His Plan
THE Portland
story.

PHILADELPH1A, Pa, Oct. % Christian K
Ross, who has been in the west over two
weeks following clew he obtained over
month ago from district attorney of Illinois
relative to the whereabouts of the lost boy
Charley, returned home and was at his ONCE
by 10 o'clock. Mr.. Ross was very bitter
against the newspaper men who gave pub
licity to his movements in ST. Louis.
He had been working quietly, he said,
and was effectively aided by several
gentlemen of prominence there and bad
learned many things which seemed to war
rant a belief that there was more in this clew
than in any of the hundreds of other he had
followed so fruitlessly. The police and detec-
tives knew nothing of bis presence and all
would have gone well had it not been for a
clergy man whom he called to his aid He
thought there was no necessity of warning
him against divulging his mission, believing
that his calling was sufficient guaranty of
confidence
Five minutes after my interview said
Mr.. Ross, Il found him chrtting with young
man who / learned Subsequently was re-
porter, and from that time 1 was run down
with interviewers My presence in St Louis
was made known and the object of my visit,
and Immediately everybody interested was
on his guard. 1t blocked my work completely,
and so came homo There are several fea-
lures connected with the scheme which
had me to believe there may be something
in it ais If it is hoax all can say is that
it has been very cleverly devised, and by
parties having thorough knowledge OF the
facts of the whole affair"

land, Me, to the effect that a young man
there, aged Is years, claimed to be the miss
ing boy. He said he had heard of this claim
months ago and had followed it up and COM
pletely exploded it.
"In St Louis" said Mr. Ross, II learned
that the alleged detective, Price, was an
Italian who held no commission and sup
ported himself partly by tailoring Upon an
intimatiOn from him that he wanted money
l satisfied him that he would be literally
rewarded if he would assist in any way tc
find my child. He then said the boy wa:
at a settlement of negroes known
as Wood river, between Edwardsvillt
and Alton. With the assistance of Gen
Fullerton l made preparations to gain
possession of the boy if Prices statement
should prove to be true, but l was disap
pointed. Price visited Wood river in com
pany with another man and returned shot
in the leg. He said the wound had beer
inflicted by the inmates of the house il
which Charley was supposed to be confined
L then came to Che conclusion that Price
was not to be relied upon, but desired to
ferret out the source Of the original informa
ton, and therefore went to Edwardsville tt

CHICAGO Oct 28--In the Meyer case the

never made companion Of Bretz but they
happened to meet, as both were Germans and
liked beer He frequently met Bretz in sa-
looms, for Brett was a saloon loafer.
There was no other intimacy be-

to inject, and also medicine to drink He had
never at any time made any suggestions to

this matter was Internal perjury. His wife
informed him that Brett had made i'm.
proper overtures TO her, and that she had
ordered him from the house. He denied
all the statements of Bretz with relation to
the scheme TO poison Mrs. Meyer in Colorado
He had never heard of any one dying from

LINCOLN, III, Oct %. The coroner's in
quest not being in progress, the interest in
the Burns murder case is abating. Theirs
have been no developments of any import
ance for several days. Witnesses arr

to have seen Zura Burns on the Satur-

is sifted it is found TO amount to little OF
nothing. One thing is still certain, and that
is that she was not seen and recognized after
she left the Lincoln house. Carpenters offics
and elevator are almost in the heart of ths
town, and it would not be strange il wo
man had been seen in its neighborhood be

father of the house of Representatives" as
he stepped off the Guion line steamer Wyom-
ing. While in England | visited Manehes-
ter, Bradford, Sheffield an the other manu-
featuring centers, as well as a great
many places In France. A lengthy
review of my observations touch
ing the economic questions that was trying
to investigate would not be necessary. The
fact that women are doing the heaviest work
in rolling-mills and foundries, at starvation
wages, is ample evidence of the condition of
labor in England. What do / think would
be the result of material reduction in the
average rate of duty taxtila, iron and
steel goods2 l will simply say that there
would follow suspension of our industries
and the overthrow of our financial system as
great as that of 1916, 1921, and 1885,, under
the influence of Clay's compromise bill. In
my humble opinion there is no room what
ever for the admission of the tariff free trade
