NEW YORK, n. Y, June 2l.-Robert
P. Wilbur, an American Presby terian
missionary from Peona, India. has just
arrived in New York. In an interview he
said: THE plague is abating in India,
but the famine is at Its height. The
plague has been in Peona in proportion to
its size as in Bombay, where 1900 have
died, but it is lessenIng. 1t moves in

wide street. The conditions of the build

looked at it said: Well, if the plague can
start in house like that, what will it DO
when it strikes Calcutta?"
"One cause OF the spread of the disease
among the natives is said to be their prac-
tice OF walking barefooted. Even insects
transmit il. A friend of mine entered a

KIDNAPPED HER OWN CHILO
Mrs. Meyer Having Deserted H ,r
Husband Went Back Tor
Her Little Girl.
Citati n Issu for H n and for Har-
vey Ga cia, a Married Man, to
Bring the Child Into Court.

Three weeks ago the wife of Frank
Meyer LETT him not to return, and sent
word back that so long as he treated their
little girl, Bertha, properly she would
allow him 10 keep her.
Meyer is a steady going workingman, a
baker, employed at Cohen's baker-shop
on Fourth street, near Howard. His wife
took employment with a barber named
Harry Garcia, who keeps shop on Fourth
street, about opposite where her husband
is employed. All day she would be seen
in the window of the barber-shop where
she served as q sort of cashier.
Meyer, after being deserted and having g
made up his mind not to worry over
much about ii, but to be content with the
possession of his little girl, moved from
the apartments he had occupied with his
wife and took rooms at 759 Harrison street,
where he now resides. On Sunday he
went out for a walk taking the child with
him, and visited his old apartments to
learn il there was any mail for him there.
Having no fear about the child he allowed
her to go downstairs alone, presumably
TO seek her former playmates. When he
went to find her she had disappeared, and
his persistent search has since failed to
discover her whereabouts.
Yesterday, through friend, he stated
his case to Secretary Parnell of the Cali
fornia Society for the Prevention of Cruelty
to Children, and through him the matter
was taken TO court and citation was is
sued not only TO the wife, Katie Meyer,
but to the barber, Harvey Garcia, to ap-
pear and explain the whereabouts of the
c7iid or to produce hor in court. When
the officers came to serve the citation they
did not find Mrs. Meyer at Ler post in the
barber shop, nor had she been at her rooms
at 737E Howard street. To Meyer this was
conclusive evidence that it was his wife
who was responsible for the disappear
ance of the child. He believed that she
was watching him on Sunday and, taking
advantage OF the opportunity offered
while the child was out of his sight car
ried her off.
Meyers story is to the effect that his
wife has become infatuated with Garcia
and that it was his influence over her that
caused her to leave him. Garcia is a mar
ried man and his wife lives with him in
rooms at he rear OF the barber-shop. 1t
is sad the advent OF Mrs Meyer into the
barber-shop as cashier caused nearly as
great disturbance in the Garcia house
hold as did that of Garcia in the house of
Meyer. For Garcia, previous to the disap-
pearance of Mrs. Never, was a frequent
caller there, according 10 Never and his
wife's mother, who lived with them and
who made bitter com plaint against them.
Garcia declares he knows nothing about
the Meyer child but the officers G. aim to
be on the track OF both mother and child.
