rare able 10 get little additional information about
Carrie Jones' the girl who took the chliu
away Arthur Clark the child's rather appeared
to be almost worn out with worry and anxiety last
evening. but he would say nothing for publication
lest something he said might cause injury TO MS
little girl at the hands OF the kidnappers. Mrs.
Clark was said 10 be I'll and almost demented De-
cause no information about her child had been
obtained.
Captain McClusky. the head of the Detective
Bureau has had a large number of detectives at
work on the kidnapping case and has taken such
q personal interest in the matter that he has spent
much OF bis time at the East Sixty-seventh-st
police station directing the work Of his and
ceving their reports. He said at the station last
night that there was nothing new in the case that
seemed to be important He declared that he
thought there had been a deep laid plot to steal
the child, either for hope OF reward or from a
motive of revenge, and he said he sure that
the parents of the child were in complete ignorance
The only letters which the family received yes
terday in reference TO the stolen child were turned
a note from clairvoyant Offering to occult
found. and another a volunteer statement OF
some person who pretended to know a family
named Johnson with whom Carrie Jones lived re-
Gently There was some suspicion that the clair
voyant letter intended 10 open negotiations fo-
60, d d LOT tne return Oh the stoeh enid MI
TO satisfy a possible demand Of the kidnappers for
ransom
Many neghbors of the Carks have taken a
deep interest in the kidnapping and have
made frequent Inquiries and there was gather
ing OF curious people the house last night
Detectives watch the house day and night The
police in all parts of the city have received IN
structions TO watch for the possible abandonment
OF the child by the thieves I'm street or
areaway. II is expected that Of the
interest excited In the and the close watch
kept by the police upon the home Of the Clarks
the thieves will abandon the child somewhere.
Captain England, of the Central Park police sta
ton yesterday told of named Johnson who
gave some alleged INFORMATION about the kidnap-
ping Monday. The Captain said: This man
called on me and told me he was near the agerie
in Central Park al $50 o'clock Sunday afternoon
when he saw a woman approach a nurse who an
swered the description Of the young woman who
was in charge Of Mr.. Clark's baby. The woman
and the nurse then went off with the baby over
the path leading under the bridge. The man said
he knew the woman by sight and had seen her
several times pawnshops. He named the
pawnshOps."

LYNCHING DISCUSSED IN BOSTON
VIEWS EXPRESSED ON EX-GOVERNOR
NORTHENS SENTIMENTS

NORTHENS SENTIMENTS.
Boston. May 22.-The people Of Boston are show
ing deep interest in the address OF Ex-Governor
Northen Of Georgia, who spoke before the Con-
gregational Club here last night, but who. through
lack OF time was compelled to curtail his speech
although he occupied more than two hours. 1t was
the general verdict to-day that such an exhaustive
statement OF the attitude Of the South on the negro
question has never before been presented here.
Several prominent clergymen OF Boston discussed
the address to-day. among them being the Rev.
Dr. J. A. Hamilton, OF the Congregational House,
who said: 1.-THE Ex-Governor evidently tried to give
the impression that the colored man IL the only
offender: that he has monopoly of the heinous
form of crime which Is at the bottom OF the
greater part OF the lynchings. II that Is the Idea
he desires to convey. | stamp It as false. l had
occasion to visit the South short time ago, and
can truthfully state that the black man has more
ground for complaint on this score than the SOUTH
ern white man."
The Rev DR.. Edward A. Horton said IT think
that Ex-Governor Northen has greatly exaggerated
the true sentiment in the South ! believe, how.
ever that the judges and the true white citizens Of
the South deplore the lynching methods.

less telegraph, Monday. They succeed
Cd In telegraphing without wires
through a suite Of seven rooms with
Gil doors CLOSED and through seven
walls
Another test was made when the sig
nails were conveyed through three fire
proof vaults and an ordinary tele-
graph switch board in which thirty
wires were connected mp and forty
dead wires were located. Notwith-
standing the fact that this switch
board contained live wires, tbs cur
rent passed through all of the vaults
and through this board. This is one OF
the most severe tests that has ever been
given wireless telegraphy.
A third test was made in which the
sending instrument was placed inside
of one of the steel vaults and both
doors were closed and the combination
lock turned. The signals were then
transmitted clearly from the inside OF
the vault to an adjoining room.
The professor claims that his inven-
ton is materially different from that
Of Maroon and that instruments can
be constructed to be carried on horse
back and be ready for operation within
few moments after they have reached
their destination. The sending instru-
ments used were intended onlyfor short
distances. The receiving instruments,
however, were complete and ready for
use at any distance.

Thousands Take Last Look at vico-
President Hobart.

PRESIDENT Hobart
Patterson, N. AT Carroll Hall,
the Hobart home, Friday afternoon the
remains of Vice President Hobart lay
In state and the public had an opportu-
nifty to view them. Fully 5000 per-
sons were In the streets. Lines were
formed BY squad OF police but the
force was entirely too small to main
tain any semblance Of order. Women
were largely In the majority. They in
cluded all CLASSES and all had the same
opportunity to take last look at tie
face OF Mr.. Hobart. The first person
to see the remains after they had been
removed from the room where Vice
President Hobart died was Attorney
General Griggs. He shook his head as
be noticed the change in the face Of
the dead. and as he stepped aside from
the room very much affected, be re-
marked: HE hos suffered much -
more than anyone will know"
AS throngs filed into the hall leading
to the library excitement appeared and
women tainted on the porch, and one
time half dozen lay insensible on the
lawn, but were revived. At the coffin
there was faintipg scene. A woman
about 30 years of age, after gazing on
the face Of the dead vice president
stood at the coffin as though transfxed.
Then she screamed and fell forward
into the arms Of policeman She was
placed In a chair and revived. 1t was
estimated that fully 10, 900 persons saw
the remains in the four hours they
were exposed to view. Thousands
more would have seen them IL time
had permitted.
1t was remarked by those who had
known the vice president that the face
had lost its pleasant roundness and,w
very thin, showing that he had
suffered much. His neck had also
thinned considerably and his hair
and moustache were gray. He was
sadly changed from the day he was

son, better known as Prof. Ray Slmp-
son, was shot and mortaliy wounded
late Friday afternoon In his dramatic
agency and school, 1, $40 Olive street,
by James T. Roberts, a lawyer. Simp-
son died shortly after. Roberts wife
from whom he had lived apart for the
past year, was taking lessons In stage
craft from Simpson. Roberts tried In
vain to persuade her to give up her les
sons supposedly from the fact that
Simpsons school bore an unsavory rep
utation In the community. Roberts
called on Simpson Friday afternoon
and forbade the latter to givs his wife
any more lessons. Simpson replied
hotly that be would continue giving
the lessons 90 long as the compensation
for his services were forthcoming.
Roberts claims that Simpson assaulted
him. clutching him about the throat
and beating him. Roberts says he had
revolver convenient and being una
BILE to mako Simpson desist In his at
tack, was forced to use 1t In self de-
tense. He pressed the muzzle Of the
weapon to the teachers side and shot
him just below the heart. Simpson
fell to the floor, mortally wounded and
Roberts walked from the building
without being molested.
Simpson died shortly after ward,
while being carried to the hospital
After the tragedy Roberts walked to
bis home In the fashionable west end
and waited there until the arrival of
the police.
