compulsorily submitted to an arbitration
tribunal. The entire committee on medi-

Nyack. Ny, June s.-Sherin Blauvelt
was in Nyack at nine O'Clock tonight
au,i said that upon his arrival at the
cou nty jail this evening he found man,
n stranger, awaiting him there. The
stranger had arrived during the sheriff's
absence In the CRY. and asked the TAILOR
20 permit him 60 see the prisoners. This
the jailor refused to do and told the man
he must wait fo< the return OF the sher-
id. When sheriff Blauvelt returned from
the city the stranger approached him
Immediately and asked permission to talk
with the prisoners, saying he WIS a
friend and merely wanted to talk with
them concerning private matters The
man was admitted by the sheriff to the
cells of the prisoners and he held long
conversation with them before returning.
Tashhsy of New York city. that he is a
motorman in the employ OF an electric
vehicle company, that the entire CONVEX
sation bstween the prisoner and his visit
or was overheard and that it related sol g.
ly to IN mily matters and the Barrow
work in the city. 1t Is officially an
nounced at eleven o'clock tonight that
tho examination of the prisoners win pos
itiveIy take place on Monday. The pris-
oners viii be taken from the Jail to Gar
neryills nIsder a guard of special officers
as the sheriff fears trouble along the way.
While it seems to be admitted on all
hands that the Rockland county authors
ties are justified by law in holding the
prisoners "James and Jennie Wilson, "
for trial on the charge OF kidnapping, In
this county, the sentiment of IA large
number of the people is against such
proceedings.
Many taxpayers are among the obiec-
tors. They say they don't want to pay
an expense which should be borne by
New York city.
1t Is generally believed that Jennie
Wilson will tell all she knows when her
case comes to trial, Notwithstanding the
efforts that will be made by her counsel
to prevent It, Y
/ Barrow, the alleged kidnapper, kept
wholly to himself today In jail. He de-
clined to see anybody at all. When
pressed to tell of the plot he sent this
word; n
81 won't say anything just now. Wait
until Monday. At the hearing in court
may have a strange story to tell. At
presenE my counsel advises me to say
nothing. But Monday l shall probably
tell everything"
Counsel Brown also intimsted that the
story of the child stealing would be a
remarkable one. 81 ~

Independence. 1t is my task to contribute
to the renewal OF these relations, to
strengthen them and to draw them closer
