She searched the town throughly and was finally rewarded in finding MT Porker salted down in a barrel of brine
 When she came face to face with the fellow who stole the pig, there were denials, but she talked to him like streak of lightning. Seeing that his game of bluff and denial didn't go down, and before a warrant could be served, the fellow left for parts un- known. It was good case of ridding Morland of a bad man. but Miss Sum- merson didn't get her Morland Letter to Springfield, o, Press-Repub- lie.

CHILD KIDNAPED.

Girl Carried Away at the Point of
 Revolvers.
 GREENWICH, Conn, June 21.-A carefully planned Kidnapping was con- summated at the Held House, Indian Harbor, late yesterday afternoon.
 Frank B. Jennison, New York bro ker, and his wife are suing for divorce. The wife was given the custody of a four-year-old daughter, Alice. On Sun day last Jennison seized the child in New York and brought her to the Held House, placing her in charge of nurse. Detectives employed by Mrs. Jennison located the child on Monday. Tuesday G. H. Marcy and wife of New York registered at the hotel for the purpose of keeping Mrs. Jennison informed of Der husbands actions.
 During the absence of MT. Jennison in New York yesterday Mrs. Elizabeth Dudley Jennison, accompanied by De tectives Landy and Shipman of New York, arrived at the hotel. The child was out on the grounds with her nurse, and the detectives demanded that the child be turned over to them. The nurse refused, and, she claims, Mir. Marcy, who had joined the party, knocked her down. MT. Marcy then seized the child and stepped into a waiting carriage and drove rapidly to- ward the state line. The rest of the party followed closely in another car riage. At the state line the two par ties met and boarded trolley car.
 Constable Medley of Greenwich traced them as far as Rye. At this point he was unable to learn anything further as to the whereabouts of the Kidnapping party.
 During the scene in front of the hotel a young man, said to be MT. Jennison's secretary, appeared and protested against the child being taken away. To strengthen his argument he drew revolver, but the detectives also drew revolvers and covered the young man until they departed in the carriages.

CALLS THEM FLOATING coFFINs
Need That Congress Pass Law Deal
 ing With Old Barge Abuse.


 No justification can be offered for ex- empting these fiimsy craft from the regular inspection by government in spectors to which all vessels carrying crews and passengers are supposed to be subject under the law, says the Phil- adelphia North American. The theory, of course, has been advanced that bargeS do not necessarily carry human beings, because they are not operated by their own power, but the fact is that a string of barges seldom goes to sea without one or more of them being manned by crews of from four to eight men. Most of them are bare of rig glng, so that in case of accident they are absolutely at the mercy of the winds and waves. But the worst feature of the whole business is that because of their freedom from respon- sibility the coal shippers turn to use every old hulk of a ship they can pick up. The warped and abandoned wreck of a sailing ship and the con- demned hull of an unseaworthy steam CT serve their purposes equally well. so long as they can be-kept aflOat As matter of fact, these floating coffins" are preferred by the coal com panies, because of the possibility that the barges will get adrift and come to. grief. in which case the loss would be less than where a properly constructed and equipped barge were employed. It is an actual fact that some of these converted ships were built more than 40 years ago. and of the scores now in use good number were condemned as unserviceable before the develop ment of the barge trade.
 It is an open question whether or not the treasury department has the authority under the existing statutes to bar the use of such barges as are unsound and to compel the owners in every case x to provide this class of craft with means of elf-propulsion. But since it is held that they are ves- sells for statistical purposes only. there is evident need that Congress pass special act dealing with the abuse. Nothing is to be expected from the coal companies, whose sole desire is to transport their merchandise to market with the least possible outlaw The remedy must come from the gov ernment as measure of humanity and safeguard to-genara. navigation
