CHICAGO POLICE HEAR OF KID
MAPPED BOY.
MISSING SINCE LAST JULY
Aunt Supposed to Have Spirited Him
Away Disguised as Little
Girl

Chicago, Feb. 3.-Chief of Police
O'Neill today received telegram
from Royal Ballard of Casselton,
North Dakota, saying that Florence
Ely and Frank Ely Rogers, the boy
whom the woman is said to have kid
naped from Evanston last July are in
that town. A second telegram stated
that Miss Ely was said to have con-
fessed her identity.
II believe Ballard has found the
right people, although of course there
may be some mistake" said Chief
O'Neill. "No time will be lost in max
ing the identification absolute one
way or the other"
The Ely kidnapping case is one of the
most peculiar with which the police
have had to deal in years. Miss Ely.
the aunt of Frank Ely Rogers, 13-
year-old boy, cherished an infatua-
ton for her nephew which the boys
parents regarded as remarkable. 1t
is thought that preparations to send
Frank away to school, thus removing
him from the influence of his aunt
caused the latter to take him away
herself Whether the boy went will
ingly or was removed forcibly is not
known Mrs. Rogers has been i'll from
grief and anxiety since her sons dis
appearance and the police Of the
whole country have been put on the
watch Numerous clews have been
run down, but without success. The
only tangible clew upon which to work
| was found about two months ago when
dog dragged from under an isolated
depot platform near Evanston the
| garments in which both Miss Ely and
her nephew had been clothed when
last seen. This led to the supposition
that Miss Ely had dressed the boy
in girls clothing to escape detection
and a circular to that effect was sent
| broadcast through the country.

MEXICAN MINING DISASTER
SIXTEEN MEN ARE RESCUED
BARELY ALIVE.
Eightyfour Bodies Many of Them
Horribly MangIed Have Been Re-
moved From the Mine.

Eagle Pass. Tex, Feb. 3.-Eight-
four bodies and 16 men barely alive.
some of them horribly mangled have
been taken from the Hondo mines.
Search for the bodies has stopped OH
account of the stencil, but disinfect-
ants arrived this afternoon and work
will be resumed.
Twenty-Five dead mules have been
taken from the shaft. The damage
to property is very great The COM
pany has obtained all the physicians
and nurses that can be secured from
all points and is doing everything
possible to save the miners who are
still alive. The scene at the opening
of the mine was horrible, wives,
mothers and children of the dead and
mangled men were screaming and cry
ing and refused to retire.
OF those known to have gone into
the mine there are about 40 still to
be accounted for. They are not like
ly to be living for if not killed out
right, deadly carbonic acid following
the explosion will render the men un-
conscious. There is a pathetic story
Of a little mulletteer who came up
alive, his brain was injured and he
kept running around in a circle. His
brother recognized and embraced him
and the boy exclaimed: "My brother" Z"
On being released he again began run
ming around and dropped dead.
The direct cause of the explosion is
not yet known. The accepted theory
is that dust was ignited by naked
light. The mine is 375 feet deep and
is dry mine. consequently fine eX-
plosive coal dust finds lodgment on
ledge and floor and is often an unsus-
pected danger. A combination of gas
and dust may account for the eX-
| plosion.

IMMEDIATE AND LIBERAL
GOVERNOR WOOD ON SITUATION
IN CUBA.
Relief for Cuba's Chief Industries to
Be of Benefit to People Must
Not Be Delayed.

Washington, Feb. 3 A circular let
ter has been received by members Of
the senate from General Wood, military
governor Of Cuba, urging tariff con-
cessions on Cuban sugar coming into
he United States. 1t is dated at Ha-
vana January 80.
General Wood says: Il desire to
invite your most earnest attention and
consideration to the economic condi-
tions existing in Cuba today, condi-
tions which threaten to bring ruin to
her principal industries, sugar and
tobacco, unless prompt and effective
relieve is given. With the ruin Of her
two principal industries we must give
up all hope of a stable government,
for unless Cuba can sell her products
at reasonable profit, it is obvious
that her cultivation must cease, bring
ing idleness and hunger to her .peo-
ple."
He further says: Each day of de-
lay in giving relief is dangerous. When
once the crash comes relief will be
Of little value except to the speculator
who may gather up the wrecks here.
The people of the country. who have
virtually reconstructed it in three
years, will be ruined. and we shall
have to step in and reoccupy the
country or continue in occupation and
do over the work which we have spent
thousands of lives and much treasure
in doing up to date. The situation de-
mands relief and it should be imme-
diate and liberal"

their lives come from. They might
have been on either of the barges
towed by the tug Richmond, reported
as passing, without tow, Block Island
bound from New York for New Port,

Block Island two hours later, which
left New London, Conn. yesterday for

German steamer Barcelona, the
crew of which rescued the
tugmen The tugs had been de-
livering provisions to the stranded
steamer Cavour, ashore at Long
Beach, L. L., and were heading back
to this point. When the gale struck
them waves began to wash over them
not only sweeping off everything
movable. but flooding their holds and
getting into the fireboxes. Seven
men on each tug were in imminent
danger of death for over two hours.
The tugs were absolutely helpless
ana gradually sinking when the Bar
cclona hove in sight and took the
half frozen crews aboard Within
half an hour after this the two tugs
went to the bottom with tn, dunnage
of the men.

south central pier this afternoon as
he had been 4S hours on the bridge.
He said that all the houses of the
Berwind had been smashed by the
fury of the waves when the Barcelona
hove down on the sinking vessel. AT
ter some time they managed to work
the Atwood under the lee of the Bar
celona. Lines were thrown to the
men and they scrambled on board the
liner, which had hardly any cargo and
stood very high out of the water.

MOVES CASE is SPRUNG
House Spends Time in Discussion Of
oieomargarine BilI-opponents Of
Measure Badly Beaten.

washington, rep. 0.-AnOtler Splr-
tied debate with the Philippine tariff
bill as the text was precipitated in
the senate today as the result of some
statements made by Mr.. Carmack,
democrat, of Tennessee, in the course
of an extended speech on the general
Philippine question. 1t was the Ten
nessee senator's first speech in the
senate and he was given notably good
attention on both sides of the cham
Der. He spoke without manuscript
with earnestness, force and eloquence.
At the conclusion of his address,
which had been listened to by many
OF his former colleagues in the house
of representatives. Mr.. Beveridge Of
Indiana challenged some of his state
ments.
The debate which ensued was very
lively for a few minutes, taking on
political phase which proved partic-
ularly interesting to the auditors, who
crowded the floor as well as the gal
leries
Mr. Beveridge and Mr.. Tillman of
South Carolina became involved in a
heated colloquy in which the ex-
changes were as hot as both senators
well could make them.
Before the taking up of the Philip
pine bill the measure providing for an
increase in the salaries Of United
States judges was under discussion
for an hour.
Taking advantage of the latitude Of
debate offered by the senate rules,
Mr.. Tlllman directed attention to an
article in the Washington Post today,
relative to the case of Judge Arthur
H. NOyes, of the district court of
Alaska, who was fined $1,000 recent
ly by the circuit court of San Fran
cisco and Of the associates of Judge
Noyes who were involved with him.
Mr. Tillman read the article, which
indicated that Judge Moves and his
associates are drawing large salaries
from the United States while the
case against them is pending in the
courts. One of the men according
to the article, who is serving his SEN
tence, continues to draw salary. Mr..
Tillman made running comments upon
the statements in the article, direct
ing all his sarcasm and invective
against Judge Noyes, fnally inquir-
ing:
"By the way whose business is it
to remove this MANI Mr.. Foraker Of
Ohio believed it might require inn
parchment proceedings to remove
Judge Moves, but Mr.. Teller contend
ed that the president had ample pow
Ell to remove territorial judge. He
believed there was no question about
that. He declared the actions Of
Judge Noyes had been crying
| shame" and asserted that t" a recital
of his outrages would startle the
| American people,
