POLICEMAN STUMBLES UPON
FAMOUS kEoKUK INFANT.
BY ACCIDENT
PEOPLE OF NEIGHBORHOOD
ALL FAVOR THE MOTHER
In the House of the Woman's Sister the
Babe Is iscoVered-Attorney for the
Secretary of the Associated Charities
Advises Him Not to Take the Child
Away.

KEOKUK, Iowa, Aug. ga police
man accidentally found the now cele-
brated Kellar baby today in the south
part of the city. He was serving a
subpoena in another case when the ex-
citement in the neighborhood convinced
him that he was near the hiding place
where the mother, Mrs. Vina Kellar,
had concealed the baby. The people
were much excited for a while, as they
all favor the mother. They thought
that Secretary Park, of the Associated
Charities, had obtained a habeas cor
pus writ to get the sick baby from the
custody of the mother, who is acting
as special constable.
It developed that when the mother
was made a special constable and given
charge of her infant, eleven months
old, under arrest for vagrancy, in order
to give her possession despite the op-
Grafton of the new sociological law, she
took it to her sisters house. The
mother had instructions from her at
torney to use necessary force to pre-
vent anybody from taking the baby,
unless with a court warrant. After
finding the baby, the attorney for. Sec
rotary Park advised him not to use
the authority given him by the con-
struction of the law to take the baby
from the mother, who was found by
the trial court competent to keep it.

BERLIN, Aug 2S.-The entry Of
King Victor Emmanuel into the city
today and his drive through the Inter
den Linden was advanced purposely
half an hour ahead of the published
time as a precaution against possible
disorder. Consequently the great
crowds which were packed into place
an hour by the police at Brandenberg
gate were astonished by the arrival at
brisk trot of a gorgeous cavalcade
surrounding six-horse carriage, in
which sat Emperor William and
small man in dark uniform, pulling
at a blonde mustache. The carriage
stopped and the crowds ceased cheer
ing in order to see what was to hap
pen.
The chief burgomaster, Herr Kirsch-
ner, advanced and read an address of
welcome from a parchment scroll.
Behind the burgomaster stood bare
headed hundred representatives of
the city in evening dress. The reading
was over in less than a minute The
Italian king then turned to the German
emperor and asked him if he would re-
ply. The emperor shook his head,
and the king thereupon shook hands

A deputation of young ladies advanced
on the other side of the carriage and
gave the king a bunch of roses. He
smiled, bowed, buried his face in the
blossoms, handed the bouquet to
lackey and the cavalcade and carriage
swept through the gate and down I'm

quarters of a mile away
On one side of the thoroughfare,
cuirassiers, dragons. and lancers,
lined up two deep, made a g1ittering
barrier of color, while on the other
side the peoples view was unmolested
except by extraordinary numbers of
police standing with their faces
towards the. spectators. The cheers
of the people were spontaneous and
really cordial. They seemed so to

The show was over in a few sec

between the squadrons of cavalry

VIENNA, Aug. 28.-President

HITCHES IN ARRANGEMENTS FOR
HIS RECEPTION IN NEW
HAMPSHIRE
GUEST AT THE SUMMER
HOME OF SECRETARY HAY
MIR. Roosevelt Makes Speeches at Va
rious Towns, and Is, of Course, Met
on Every Hand With Crowds of
People Not Used to Seeing Full
Pledged President.

NEWBURY, N. H, Aug. 2S.-Presi-
dent Roosevelt tonight is the guest of
Secretary of State Hay, whose sum-
mer home is situated few miles from
here on the shores of Lake Sunapee.
The secretary and his daughters met
the president upon his arrival.
The president delivered a brief adj
dress to the townspeople. He then
entered Secretary Hays launch, No
mad, and steamed to the Fells.
New Hampshire's arms were open
today in readiness to receive the presi-
dent. Long before he was awake a
committee representing the governor
boarded the train. The welcome they
extended to him on behalf of the state
was magnif1ed later in the day in the
smaller towns through which the train
passed, and at Nashua, Manchester,
The Weirs and Concord, although the
day was replete with the miscarriage
of arrangements. At The Weirs, where
the Grand Army reunion was held, the
people, in the excess of their desire to
accord the president a fitting recep-
ton, came near causing a crush which
might have resulted disastrously. AS it
was, the president was for time in the
lniuSl u HOWIluS, SuTSIHS mass, ana
was carried off his feet.
More Plans Go Astray.
So inadequate were the police ar
rangements that the crowd had entire
control of the situation and much re-
lief was expressed when the president,
after reviewing the veterans, was es-
corted into the hotel for luncheon.
Here again the carefully laid plans for
his entertainment went astray, lunch
con being finally served through the
gallantry of the governors staff, who
turned in and acted as walters.
The presidents speech at the park,
where the veterans were gathered, was
most favorably received. AS in the
case of Bangor, he admonished his
hearers to remain still and not to
shove. A great crush occurred at Con-
cord as the train was pulling out and
for time it was feared people would
be hurt.
The president addressed the G. A. r.
at The Weirs, praising the veterans
for their services to the country. At
that point, as we'll as at Manchester,
he defended the army of the Philip
pines. Mr.. Roosevelt also gave ad-
dresses at Nashua and Concord.
