FEWER SERVANTS NOW
CRY OF DISTRESS GOING UP FROM
AMERICAN CITIES.
Girls Prefer the Factories and the Public
Schools Develop Decided Ambition
for Improved Social Conditions,

New York correspondence baltimore News.
Never was there such scarcity OF do.
nestle servants in American cities
The law OF supply and demand seems TO
find the exception that proves the rule In
this phase Of modern life, The employ.
ment agencies have been besieged by house.
keepers this fall. The emigrant girls
homes, around the Battery, have signs in
their windows declaring that they can not
undertake to supply even untaught serv-
ants.
A year ago, when people began to reopen
their town houses, a similar condition OBJ
tanned, but the oNlgencles seem greater
now. Wages have been increased IN some
respects. but the demand far exceeds the
supply and the prospects are not bright for
any Immediate solution OF the domestic
problem, according to those best qualified
TO speak.
Apparently conditions here are 80 differ
ent from any other country that the situa-
ton grows more and more complex. Many
have given up the idea Of maintaining u
separate domestic establishment and taken
refuge In the hotels and apartment houses,
where the supervising head Of the whole
establishment has TO worry about the sup
ply OF help.

AMBITIoN THE CHIEF CAUSE.

AMBITION THE CHIEF CAUSE.
Students OF this subject declare that the
American servant does not want his or her
children to follow In the footsteps OF the
rarcnts. The public school system instills
a spirit of unrest, desire TO be some
thing else than the domestic servant Of an.
other The demand for young girls in fac
tories is so great that many who come to
America with the Intention Of going into
domestic service are dissuaded by the al.
lurements OF higher wages, more hours OF
leisure, better chances for entertaining
friends and more considerable treatment
than seem likely to so with household EN-
ployment
Abroad 1t Is no unusual thing for genera
ton after generation TO serve az Yaiets
buffers, cooks and maids. A pride Is taken
IN the long toLure OF service In this or that
family. Wallets open what are practically
schools for training servants In their duties
and exact fat fees for tuition.
Soclologlsts have been giving consider
able thought to this topic. Miss Gail
Laughlin. a Cornell graduate and lawyer
has made n study of the conditions under
the auspices OF the United states indus
trial commission. The Wisconsin state
labor bureau has been collecting data 20
ing TO show why girls prefer work IN rae
tories and stores to household service.

KLDNAPER PAROLED.
John !. Collins Transferred From
Prison to Soldiers Home.

Chicago, ILL.,, Aug. 5-Interest in sem
sational child-stealfng case is revived by
the release from Joliet penitentiary of
John /. Collins. on parole, and his admit
lance at the soldiers' home at Danvtlle.
Collins was implicated with Mrs. Ann
Ingersoll in the kidnapping of little Ger
aid Lapiner from his home in Chicago. on
Decoration Day 1900.
The child was taken to Plainville, Ohio,
and kept by the couple in a house about
a mile from the town, where he was
finally located after long and sensation
al search.
The kidnappers were sent to the peni-
Tertiary for indeterminate terms. Both
remained up to a few days ago. when
when Collins was paroled. Mrs. Inger-
soil Is still detained at the institution.
1t came out at the trial that Mrs. Inger-
soil was demented. She had met Collins,
who is 70 years in California, while he
was an inmate Of the soldiers home.
She persuaded him to leave California
with her and it was while they were
passing through Chicago on their way to
Plainville that they met and kidnapped
the Lapiner child.
After the child had been restored to its
parents Police Sergent Broderick believing
that Collins had taken part In the case
unwillingly, started a petition for the re-
lease of the old soldier. At first the par
ents remained obdurate to the plan, but
remembering the acts of kindness Col
Inns had shown toward Gerald they sign
ed the petition for the release from the
penitentiary.

PECK CASE APPEALED.
Right Of Mother to Her Chill
dren to Be Determined.

The now almost fam GUS Peck kidnap-
ing case has broken into the Kansas
supreme court. Mr.. and Mrs. Peck
corpus, and the writ has been granted,
returnable October 6. This releases
them from the Saline county jail, where
they were held on the charge of kid
naping, but they have to give bond fof
| 81, 900 each.
Mrs. Peck's first husband was a man
named Hines. They had two children,
years younger. Mrs. Peck claims that
Hines did not support her. and she was
compelled to get a divorce from him.
but his mother. Mrs Harriet King, took
possession of the children.
Mrs. Hines went to Kansas City, Kas.,
to visit relatives and there met James
f.. Peck. whom she married. AS she
was then able to care for her children
she wanted them, but Mrs. King re-
fused to give them up, and the courts OF
Saline county refused to give Mrs Peck
possession of them. A few weeks ago
Mr.. and Mrs. Peck went to the King
farm near Brookvilie, secured the chill
dren, caught train and took them to
Kansas City The affair created great
excitement around Brookville, and the
Saline county officers were sent after
the children and to arrest Mr. and Mrs.
Peck for kidnapping. Mr.. Peck tried to
secure an Injunction against the Saline
county officers in the Wyandotte county
courts. but did not succeed. They were
taken back to Saline county a few days
ago and placed in jail.
Today their attorneys filed suit in the
supreme court to secure their release ON
writ of habeas corpus, and the con-
test for the possession of the children
will probably be fought out here, Mr..
and Mrs. Peck claim that Mrs King IL
not a proper person to have the custody
of children, even If their mother did
not have better claim to them. They
allege that they did not have enough
clothing to cover them, that they appar-
emily had not been bathed for months
and had been taught evil habits.
The habeas corpus action brought by
the parents of Myrtle Crone q baby
in possession of some Great
Bend people. who refused to give the
little one UP to Mr.. and Mrs. Crone.
was dismissed today. It has been settled
in some way by stipulation, but the dis
uissal does not show in what way

MUST RECOGNIZE UNION
St0nemasOns Refuse to Work
With Nonunion Carpenters.

The union stOnemasonS employed on
the construction of the Gleed building
at Sixth and Topeka avenue are trying
to force the contractors, Lundgren &
Carlson, to employ union carpenters on
the job, and accept the union scale of
prices. Unless Lundgren & Carlson ac-
coed to these demands, the stopemasons
will declare a strike at o'clock this
afternoon, and will consider it a VIOLA
ton Of the rules for any union man to
work on the job
According to the statements of the
stonemasons, the trouble has been brew
ing for some days. The contractors
claimed that they had taken the job
at such figures that they would have to
work their carpenters 10 hours day
in order to make any money. The
masons assert that the union has been
in existence here for years, and that the
contractors should have taken this into
consideration.
There are five carpenters employed on
the building, and six stonemasons. Just
at present the stonemasons are waiting
for the carpenters to lay jofst, to make
things ready for more stonelayi The
stonemasons' union met last night, and
decided that the building would be de-
ciared unfair" in case the carpenters
did not go in on the union scale. The
carpenters went to work at o'clock
this morning, but the stonemasons hope
that they will knock off work at 5
O'Clock tonight, and accept the union
terms.
