Two Little Girls Run Away from orphsnAge

girls whose pitifui story Of suffering ELECTED

cepted aims from the Waterman at the East
Omaha bridge, who we're the especial charge
OF Police Matron stilwell at the city jail,
who said that they had walked from Cnarter
oak, Ia, to Omaha in search Of employment,
Tor whom the police took the responsibility
Of securing homes, did not walk from Char

Oak and were not in need of assistance.
The little girls escaped from the Christian
'orphanage at Council Bluffs and were yes
terday returned to that place by its ma
'tron, who had been in search OF them since
their escape Wednesday afternoon.
The girls s~ubstantiated their story Of the
long walk to Omaha by showing to the po-
lice matron four little feet badly blistered
and four shoes badly worn. Their inno-
cence and the Straightforward story, as they
told It to the police, carried conviction and
none doubted that 1t was true.
Matron Comes for Girls.
The matron Of the orphanage saw the
published statement Of the girls, and as they
had given the names they we're known by
In the home, she came for them yester-
day. The older Of the girls, she said, had
been in the home for ten years ana the
younger for several years. Botn, sne said,
had always been quiet, truthful girls, and
she could give no reason why they should
desire to escape. The only excuse offered
by the girls was that they desired to see
the world.
The story Of the girls published Thursday
was not without effect. Over twenty-five
applications were made by people here and
from out in the state for the girls, all Offer
ing them good homes as long as they would
remain. Many called at the vaso after
the girls had been taken away and others
who could not get down early and feared
that the officers would secure homes for
them before they could get to the station,
kept the telephone busy all morning.
The girls did not appear to be disturbed
when the Council Bluffs matron came for
them and expressed no regret at the COM
motion they had caused at the home. and
took the sympathy and good treatment Law
ished upon them as something due them.
Both returned to Council Bluffs without
creating any trouble.

ALL INDUSTRIES SUSPEND.
Surrounding Towns Quit all Bust
ress Lacking Freight Transfer.
THE END NOT YET IN SIGHT.

Boston, March l4.-Thc railroad.
company against which the strike is
chiefly directed, is the New York, New.
Haven q Hartford shows no incliua-
ton to ask for interference by the
National Civic Federation, and reiter-
atcs what it has said from the first,
that its duties as common carrier are
defined by law and that it is compelled
to handle all freight delivered to it,
whether by union or non-union teams
and that it has no option in the matter.
Freight business at the various rail
roads, which arrives and docks has
been almost at standstill. and the
moving of accumulated merchandise is
becoming n serious matter to mer-
chants.
The strike of coal teamsters was one
of the most aggravating features of the
day, and its effects were quickly felt at
hotels, restaurants and places having
ing accommodations for only limited
supply of coal.
The effect of the strike is being felt
severely in nearby manufacturing
towns. At Lynn shoe factories en-
ploying in the aggregate 5000 hands
have been forced to shut down because
of the failure to receive consignments
of leather, and other establishments
are running half time.
At Somervillle a porkpaclSing con-
Germ which ordinarily employs l,9Oo
hands, has laid off about half of the
men and may be obliged to suspend
! operations entirely.
