Hall site was discussed. Mrs. Fairbanks

Agricultural Department, left Washington
yesterday for Philadelphia, where he goes
to answer a charge of kidnapping made
against him by his wife. Mrs. Esther NJ.
Gregory. who is residing in that city with
her mother.
The charge is the result of domestic
differences between Mr.. Gregory and his
wife, which resulted some time ago in the
latter filing suit against him for separate
maintenance and support. During the
pendency of the proceedings Mrs. Gregory
was given the custody of their child,
Freddie, six years of age. The suit was
dismissed and Mrs. Gregory left Wash
ington, and took the child with her to
Philadelphia.
arrant Previously Sworn Out.
About two weeks ago, Mrs. Gregory al

home. and warrant was sworn out,
charging MIR. Gregory with the offence. 1t
was charged that the child was kidnapped
for the purpose of extorting money from
Mrs. Gregory. Mr.. Gregory was taken into
custody by the local authorities, and he
gave bond to answer the charge before the
Chief Justice OF the Supreme Court OF
the District.
When the case was called for hearing
before Chief Justice Bingham it was dis

That she did this was evidenced
yesterday by the arrival of re-
QUESTION from the Governor of Penn
sylvania, asking the local authorities to
surrender Mr.. Gregory to them, to an
swer the charge of kidnapping. When in
formed that he was wanted in Philadel-

waive a preliminary hearing, and so to
Philadelphia to answer the charge.
This was satisfactory to the district at
torney, and Ir. Gregory accompanied by
his attorney, Mr.. II. Newton Donaldson,
left the city at noon for Philadelphia.
They had arranged for the giving OF bond
for Mr.. Gregory before they left, and it
was their intention to return to Washing

NEGRO EXPATRLATION.

Some we'll meaning theorists are
again agitating the subject of solv-
ing the race problem by deporting
the negroes, to Africa or elsewhere,
Sentimentally the project may be
all right, but in common sense 1t has
no standing. The negroes are here
q, 600, 600 of them. Most of them
want to stay, and there is no prin-
cipal under which they could be ex-
patriated without their consent.
Even if they agreed to it, the prac-
teal difficulty of taking 1900, 900
people to Africa would be insur-
mountable. 1t would take a hun
dred steamers of the size of the big
gest Atlantic lines s years to do
the job. All the ocean vessels that
sail under the American flag could
not, even if they had nothing else
to do, transport the naturalincrease
