tn S~cranton to Run Electric cars
SCRANTON, Pa, December 24.-The
second day OF the streat car mems
strike passed off as quietly as the hfst.
Seven men, imported from syracuse
ioined with the company's superln-
tendents. foremen, clerks and ola EN-
ployes in manning eight ears, INC al
though they ran through all parts OF
the city from daybreak till nightfall,
not a single instance OF violence or
even intimidation is reported.
The strikers quietly went among the
men who were taking their places n
succeeded in inducing four OF them %
quit, and in exacting promises from
three others not to go to work to-mor-
row.
Cne of the men from Syracuse was
provided with transportation by the
strikers and returned home. Two 9TH
ers turned1n with the strikers in help
ing to induce the other seven to quit,
and it is needless TO say that while
these two unexpected allies were going
about town with the striking commit
tee they were given the merrlest
Christmas they ever experienced. 10

Very few persons rode on the cars

hat there was not the slightest dan
ger of violence. Even aged women
preferred to labor along under a load
of Christmas bundles for two or three
miles than to DE seen riding on the Ia

ternoon. but this was the extent OF e
Interference. The 1ew cars that kept
up irregular trips in the most impor-

less liable to incite bother.

Year-Oid Montana Boy Missing IT
kalamazoo, Mich.

OMAHA, Neb., December 24.-The
only development in the Cudahy kid
mapping case to-day was the finding OF
the lantern with which Mr.. Cudahy
was tagged on his drive into the coun-
try last Wednesday night, carrying the
$4,000 with which to secure the re-
turn Of his son, and other parapher-
MALTA left by the robbers in their hur-
ried departure. This confirms again
the story Of the drive and assists the
police in finding the methods EN-
plOyed by the bandits. A man
whose name the police refuse to re-
veal, has identified Pat Grove as the
light-complexioned individual, VINO in
company with a woman, accOsted him
relative to the ownership of the house
to which Edward Cudahy, Jr. was car
ried by %kidnappers last Tuesday night,
When shown a picture Of Grove
taken from the Rogues' Gallery, this
man stated positively that it was a
perfect likeness of the person he saw
at ~Thirty-sixth and Grover streets.
Questioned closely as to the mans
conduct, dress, manner and general de-
5c-iption, he gave a detailed statement
which convinced the authorities that
they were on the right rack.
George Barker, president Of the Ma
tiouaI bank Of Commerce, confirms the
statement Of the s25,O00 being with
drawn from that bank, and Melvin l..
Sears, Mr.. Cudahy's attorney, con
firms other details Of the state
ment.
The lantern with ribbons attached,
used by the bandits to flag" Mr.. Cud-
ahy on his drive to the contry, to-
gether with two trouser legs and a
shirt sleeve, used rs money bags, have
been found one and a half miles west
Of Omaha, near the Center street road.
Seven and one-half miles west OF
Omaha. on Center street. in McArdle
precinct, and about a quarter of a mile
west Of the Big Pappio, in the Rad
dock grove, on the south side Of the
road, was found. Thursday morning, the
lantern with the white and black NIB
b0ns attached which was used to
flag Mr.. Cudahy in his drive. 1t was
found BY two SOM Of a farmer on their
way to school. The lantern was i'm
medfately placed in possession Of a
constable who brought it to Omaha
this afternoon. To-day v trouser
legs and an undershi-t sleeve were
found buried beneath the snow near
the fence adjoining the road. The
finding Of the lantern settles beyond
all doubt the exact location as to the
point where the kidnappers received
their ransom. When the lantern was
picked up it was filed with oil and the
wick showed that il had recently been
used. Near where the lantern was
found were a number or ears Of corn,
a part OF the kernels yet remaining on
the cob. indicating that a horze had
been fed there recently. Tracks were
observable in the soft earth. showing
that a horse had been tied nearby.
