PRISONER IDENTIFIED BY EDDIE cUD-
ANY AS HIS KEEPER.

No Doubt About Callahan Being the Right
Man. as Several Others Corroborate the
Identification by the Kidnapped Boy.
Omaha Police Make the Arrest.
Omaha, Feb. 20.-One Of the kidnap-
ers Of Edward Cudahy, Jr., is now In
the custody of the police in this city
and has been positively identified by
several parties. There is no doubt
in police circles or in the mind Of Mr.
Cudahy that they have one of the
guilty men.
The man in custody is James Calla-
han and he has been staying for a
month past with his sister, Mrs.
Kelley, at Fifty-third street and Pop
pleton avenue, Omaha.
The Identification is positive on the
part of young Cudahy, who says 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 Safpy county, pretend
Ing to arrest him for crime COM
mitted in that county. He is also the
man who kept guard over the boy IN
the cottage where he was held prls-
oner by the kidnapsrs.
Five persons altogether are said to
have identified Callahan as one of the
kiGnapers. He is the one referred to
i1l the circulars as NO 81 Among
those whose Identification is especially
| valuable is that of j. N. Fl. Patrick,
who lives In Happy Hollow, west of
the city. Mr.. Patrick says that Cal
lahan is one of the men who came to
his home late last summer to rent a
little house that stood in corn field
on the Patrick premises at consider
able distance from the road This
house was the one fitted up by the
bandits as the prison house, but was
abandoned after having been visited
by the police.
Callahan was arrested in saloon,
where he had been spending money
freely, by Detectives Dwyer and Due
berry of the Omaha police force
Callahan maintains that he knows
nothing about the kidnapping. but ad-
mits close friendship with Pat Grove.
'"That Fact stands against me-" he
says. Formal charges will be filed
against Callahan today.
Another suspect has been located
and will be arrested today. 1t is prac-
tically certainty, the police say, that
the man who is to be arrested has u
guilty knowledge of the kidnapping,
even though he may not have taken an
active part in the bold scheme.

tensive American Imports.
st. Petersburg, Feb. Ism. DeWitte,
minister of finance, has issued a de-

The measure will become effective a

In doing this, NJ. DeWitte has
proved his ability to hit quick and
hard. He was evidently prepared for
reprisals before Secretary Gage took
final action. NJ. DeWitte sent to the
senate Wednesday for publication an
ordinance levying 80 per cent increased
duty on the most important American
imports into Russia. The ordinance
was published yesterday in the Official
Messenger and becomes effective

GREETED in American circles. who an

the supreme court will sustain the
claim that Russia pays a bounty on
sugar directly or indirectly, and re-
gard the action taken as hasty, though
not unexpected. 1t is believed that
little harm would have resulted to
Russian interests If the action of the
court had been awaited.

EXTRA SESSION SURE.
President Says He viii Summon Congress
Must Take Care of Cuba

Washington, Feb. 1S--The president
told senators who called upon him
Saturday that congress would be
called in extra session as soon as the
Cuban constitution was received.
The president has seldom been
known to talk so freely with mem
bers of congress and other public men
on any question he had in contenpla-
tion as he now talks with them con-
cerning an extra session of congress.
He has not as yet Indicated a time
when he should expect congress to
meet, and this he is not expected to do
until the Cuban constitutional conven-
tion shall complete it's work

should fail to be disposed of at the
