But Protests Innocence.

mer Convict and Was Employed by
the Packer at Omaha, Neb.-The Kid.
nnped Lad Asserts That He Is the
Man Who Kept Guard Over Him.
Omaha, Neb.-James Callahan,a for
mer convict and a personal friend Of
Pat Grove, is under arrest here and
has been positively identified as one
of the men who kidnapped Eddie Cud-
ahy in December, and to whom the
boys father paid $4,000. Mr.. Cudahy
and the police are convinced that they
have one OF the guilty men. Callahan
has been living here with his sister.
Young Cudahy says positively that
the prisoner is the man who first ac-
costed him on the street on the night
of the kidnapping and told him he was
the Sheriff of Sarpy County, pretend
ing to arrest him for q crime COM
mitted in that county. He is also the
man who kept guard over the boy in
the cottage where he was held prison
er. The man is further identified by
others.
Callahan Is the one referred to in the
circulars as mo. s." J. \. H. Patrick.
who lives in Happy Hollow. west of
the city, says that Callahan is one or
the men who came to his home late
last summer to rent little house that
stood in a cornfield on the Patrick
premises at considerable distance
from the road. This house was the
one fitted up by the bandits as the
prison house, but was abandoned after
it was visited by the police.
In 1893 Callahan was sent from
Omaha to the penitentiary at Lincoln
to serve a fve-year term for robbery.
After serving a year and half he
was paroled, but was only out few
months when he was again arrested,
this time on 4 charge Of stealing
gold watch, and was sent back to
serve the remainder Of his term. Last
summer Callahan was employed III,

Omaha, but left in July. Since then
he has had no regular employment.
Callahan has admitted that he was a
close friend of Pat Grove for several
wears. but he denies all knowledge or
the kidnapping. He says that be can
prove an alibi, and that he has seven
people who will swear to it.
The Chief of Police says he does not
expect to catch Pat Grove right away,
but says he will know all the details
of the plot in few days.

vestigate the shameful practices"
and 'stockade scandal Of Anderson
County. In charging the Grand Jury
to make thorough and fearless inves-
tigation, the Judge said he had heard
rumors Of the conditions of slnvery
in that county, but the evidence
brought out during the week In the
trial of James Newell, farmer, for
the murder Of "Will" Hull, a negro,
"astonlshed the Court"
The Judge stated that Hull had been
killed while attempting to escape from
Newells stockade. and that he was
not convict, but was held prisoner
under a labor contract that gave the
landlord every right ever claimed by
master over slaves. Hull had run
away and gone home. where he was
arrested. at the instance Of Newell.
by a constable and by that constable
taken to Newells stockade instead Of
the jail, and turned over to Newelps
guards. Later, when he again at
tempted , escape. he was killed.
The Judge said he was informed
that not only men. but women and
children. were held in this bondage.
He read the labor contract in force in
Anderson, saying it could hold in no
free country: no court would permit
man to barter himself as chattel.
and this they did here. The contract.
besides allowing the use Of force and
subjecting the laborer to plantation
regulations" which permit whipping.
contains this clause: "The said landlord
shall have the right to transfer his in
terest in this contract to any other
party, and + agree to continue work
for said assignee the same as for the
original party of the first part"
It is understood that the wealthiest
men in the county are involved. The
Judge urged the jury to see that JUS
tice was done to the negroes. who
should be considered the wards Of
whites. ,t"There are said to be stock
ades in your county without single

as conviots, worked as convlcts. pun

5000 DESERTED FAMILIES.
Recreant Chicago Husbands Tax the Bu-
reau of Charities.


Chicago.-According to the Chicago
Bureau of Charities over 5000 families
were relieved in Chicago last year.
Three different opinions Of this are ex-
pressed. One holds that the proper
tion of desertions to population Is not
increasing. but that more thorough
study is bringing the facts into new
prominence.
Another holds that laEity in mar
riage and divorce laws IS begetting a
widespread disregard to family ties
and obligations, and that the remedy
lies in stricter laws and their rigid en-
forcement.
The third opinion maintains that the
influx of large numbers Of ignorant
foreigners is responsible for an abnor-
NAL increase in the evil.

tric Railroad three years ago, mas just

his death in the same wreck, heirs OF
Justus Walborn, the conductor OF the

weeks ago.
In sustaining the verdict for $500 for
Mrs. Hallon's death, Judge Hayden
says the life of a woman under ord1n-
airy circumstances cannot be as valu-
able as the life of a man; that Wal
BORN was able.bodied and earning good
wages for a young wife; that Mrs.
Hallon was growing old and could not
be of great use. Judge Hayden's de-
cision has caused much comment.

RUSSIA HAS RETAlIATED.
Duties on Many American Products III
creased Thirty Per Cent.

Duties on Many American Products In
creased Thirty Per Cent.
Washington, D. C.-Count Cassinl,
the Russian Ambassador, received q
cablegram from the Russian Foreign
Office confirming the report Of the is-
sue of the decree imposing Increased
duties on certain American imports
into Russia, and took steps to inform
the State Department accordingly.
It Is believed that a grave crisis mas
been reached in the trade relations be-
tween the United States and Russia.
The immediate effect Of the Russian
decree, when it becomes operative on
March i, will be to increase by fifty
per cent. the duties on American ma
chinery, steel, and iron goods. These
goods already enjoy two separate re-
ductions, thirty per cent. being taken
off from the general. and twenty per
cent. from the conventional duties. The
articles referred to in the Russian de-
cree are machinery and tools, and
manufactures and products Of cast
iron and steel.
Roughly stated. The United States is
said to have exported goods Of this de.
scription to Russia last year to the
amount of about $30,000,000. The ad-
dition of fifty per cent. to the duty
will, it Is thought, prove practically
prohibitory.
