THE REWARD INCREASED.
4 New YOk Priest offers $4,000 for
the Mccormick Boy

NEW YORK. April 2o.-AnOther reward
of $1,000 was offered today for the return
Of Willie Mccormick and the capture Of
his Eidnappers- The total amount offered
for the boy is S1g.tGa
What the city has failed 20 do has been
done by Rev Father James a duIlin,
pastor of the Church Of the Sacred Heart
Highbridge He declares that kidnapping
IS the crime of the times, and, apDrecia-
ting the tremendous encoUra cement that
viii be given 10 kidnappers throughout
the country by the failure Of the police TO
run down the criminals in the present
case. he has offered his reward, not only
for the return of the boy, but the capture
Of those who have stolen him
Of the $500 in rewards 600 IS offered
by Oscar Wildergodt and $500 placed in
the hands of Pat Sheedy by the uncle Of
the lost boy.
The Mccormick family are members Of
Father Mullins church. and il was for the
church the boy started on the night he
disappeared
My proposition is, said Father Null
lin, that If Willie Mccormick was taken
away by kidnappers, 7 viii pay $1,000 for
him and the kidnappers. Kidnapping has
grown to be the crime of the times, and
drastic measures should be taken to stop
it. That Is the spirit that prompts rae TO

BAD WEATHER IN BUFFALO.
officials of the Pan-American Expo
sition Disappointed.

BUFFALO. April 20.-Since midnight q
heavy snOwstorm has Zen raging in Buff
faIo and those portions of Western New
York bordering on the lakes 1t is still
coming down steadily in large, damp
fakes with a promise of rain later in the
day. and the effect of all this on the
Pan-American Exposition officials is
something that even they do not care to
calculate
Before this snowstoru everything was
promising for getting the grounds in
presentabIe shape for May 1, the opening
dav. Even when d few inches had fallen
at the close of work yesterday, it was
thought delay Of not more than three
days wed be the result on the unfin-
ished outside work But this morning
there are six inches Of wet heavy snow
on the grounds and buildings. With rain,
this snow will convert the grounds into
such a sea of mud that it will be impossi-
BILE to make them presentabIe for open
ing day.
1t is figured that the setback is equal
to weeks delay. Until yesterday the
| weather was warm and springIike. The
| trees We're putting forth leaves and all
was promising. Today the Street rail-
way traffic is seriously handicapped,
| freight traffic also is impeded and there
are no indications of better weather for
| several days.
