WHERE IS WIN. B. SMITH,.
HE RECENTLY CAME INTO A
FORTUNE AND HAS DIsAP-
PEARED--FoUL PLAY sUs-
PECTED.

New York, Dec. 26.-William b.
Smith. brother of the late Mrs.
Charles L. Fair, disappeared from
his home in Newmarket, N. j., last
Monday night, and failure to secure
any trace of him has led his wife
and friends to call upon the police
for aid in the search.
Smith received quite a large sum
in settlement Of his claim on the Fair
estate and Immediately gave away his
bake shop in Newmarket. He took
UP automobiling and other sports:
changing entirely his former mode OF
life. When he left home Monday ne
told his wife to expect him back for
lunch. His failure to return alarmed
the family, as he carried large sum
of money. No trace Of his move
ments could be found for several days,
but it has been learned that he told
one Of his intimates that he intend
ed going to Boulder, Col, and later
to California, thence around the world
to Paris and New York.
Altho he is said to- have boarded
west-bound train at Plainfield, this
story is not taken seriously by the
family, who believe Smith has met
with foul play.
subsequently it was learned that 8
telegram from Denver announced thai
Smith had arrived there and had gone
on to Boulder to consult his brother
Charles S. Smith, regarding an offer OF
settlement which had been made re.
Gently by the attorneys for Mrs. w
K. Vanderbilt Jr., and Mrs. Herman

RIoTING IN INDIANA
Hungarians Suspected of kidnapping
Girls Beaten by Mob.

Girls Beaten by MOD.
Haughville, Ind, Dec. 26.--Houses
were entered by a crowd of 300 ex-
cited men and women here last night
in their search foEli the children of
William Land, -Roshlihd, aged 13, and
Mary, aged 5. Who were supposed to
have been kidnapped, because < they
were last seen in the company of
some foreigners.
Two Hungarians offered resistance
and the vengeance of the mob was
swift and terrible. Stanislaus Goecki
and George Murach disputed the right
of the mob to enter their homes and
the men were beaten into insensibil-
ity. The police were powerless to
stay the anger of the father and his
neighbors Clubs, stones, anything
the mob could lay its hands upon,
were the weapons used in assaulting
the men.
The two men were rescued by the
police and taken to an old shack, but
the mob broke down the door and
again assaulted them. Then they
turned upon the houses Of the for
eigners and with clubs and stones
broke out windows and demolished
furniture. In terror the Hungarians
abandoned their homes and fled from
the suburb While the excitement was
increasing at rapid rate and the
mob was getting more and more des-
perate, word was received that the
two children were safe. They had
gone to a neighbours house when they
found their parents were not at
home on their return from Christ

PARKER WILL BE NOMINATED
German Will Manage Democratic Cam
paign-southern Congress
man Speaks

Washington, Dec. representative
Cooper Of Texas, one of the most progress
sive men of the new democracy, is out in
an interview which has the earmarks of
a studied and deliberate effort to point out
to democrats Mr.. Germans weakness as
piece of presidential timber.
The interview is significant, coming
from a, man of Congressman Cooper $
standing in the party, especially when it
is remembered that democratic politics in
the south are largely controlled by the
men who represent their sections in con
gress.
Mt. Cooper said; Judge Parker will be
nominated and Senator German will man
age the campaign as chairman of the ma
tional committee. Senator German would
make an excellent candidate and great
president. but If can catch the drift Of
sentiment among democrats every
where. it is not running toward German
for the nomination.

ON TRAIL OF
EXPORT TRADE.
Dominion Government Working Hard
to Build Up Port of Mon.
treal.
Due, to Bid for Twin City Flour
Trade Next Sea-
son.

New York, Dec. 26.-The Dominion
government has actively entered into
the campaign to divert the traffic of
the northwest and of the northwestern
states of the union to the harbOr of
Montreal as against the ports of the
Atlantic states. The announcement is
authorized that the government will
spend $3,6O0,O0O in the establishment
of an elevator system at Montreal.
which will enable that port to handle
three times the amount of grain that
was handled thru it this year.
This action emphasizes the stand
that has been taken by the Canadian
government during the past two
years. 1t has actively encouraged the
establishment of clearing elevators at
Kingston. 1t has thrown off the tolls
ON the Canadian canals. 1t has heavily
subsidized all the roads that reach
the grain belt of the northwest. Last,
It has decided to actually engage IN
the grain handling trade itself with
the object of making the port OF
Montreal the clearinghouse for all or
nearly all Of the grain of the north
west.
In addition the government and it's
ministers individually have lent their
eountenance to the lettering or the
Grand Trunk service from west to
east and have expressed their ap-
probation of the policy that is tend
ing to divert a greater volume OF
traffic month by month from the
American trunk lines. The result is
that Grand Trunk claims at the mo-
ment to have at its command as much
of the meat and provision trade OF
Chicago as 1t can handle.
AS vet the road has not made a
serious bid for the flour traffic out
of the twin cities. The establishment
of a ferry service into Milwaukee at
the end of the summer was, however.
a. pretty definite step in this direction.
It remains to be seen what the policy
Of the management may be next sum-
mer and In the early spring. What
ever it may do, 1t is to, be taken for
granted at the outset that all rail
road legislation in both the Ontario
and Ottawa houses of parliament will
tend to the encouragement of this dl-
version of New York and Boston
freight.

BOOT AND SHOE EXPORTS
THE UNITED STATES NOW STANDS
SECOND AMONG THE NATIONS
In THIS REGARD.
From The Journal Bureau, Colorado Building,

From Tho Journal Bureau, Colorado Building,
Washington.
Washington, Dec. 26.-Exports of
boots and shoes from the United States
show a steady growth, and will for the
calendar year about to end aggregate
1898 they were less than three quar-
ters of million dollars in value.
Few of the important articles en-
tering into our export trade show a
more rapid growth in exports or a
wider distribution than boots and
shoes. More than sixty countries and
colonies are named by the department
of commerce and labor thru Its bureau
of statistics as the destination Of the
United States in the year about to end.
England, Germany, France, Belgium,
Denmark and Netherlands, In the or
der named are the chief European
customers, and to Europe are sent
more than one-third of our total ex-
ports Of boots and shoes.
The United States now holds second
rank among the worlds exporters OF
boots and shoes, and is making gains
at such a rapid rate as to justify the
belief that it will soon stand at the
head Of the list. A decade ago, as al
ready indicated, our total exports OF
boots and shoes were but three-Quar-
ters of a million dollars in value, while
in the calendar year about to end they
will exceed S7,OOO,OO0 in value. A com
parison of this growth with that OF
Great Britain, which has until re-
Gently been the principal boot and shoe
exporting country of the world, seems
to justify the conclusion that the
United States is making a rapid ap'
proach toward the highest rank. From
Germany exports of boots and shoes
average a little less than $2,000,OO(
per annum; from France, abou
| $3,0OO,0OO; from Spain, about $4,000,
| 900; from the United Kingdom, abou
s9.O00,O00, and from the United
States, as already indicated, at the
| present time, about $7,000.0OO.
Another interesting fact developed
| in a comparison of the figures Of ex
ports of boots and shoes from the
| United Kingdom and the United State!
is that the value per pair of the boots
and shoes from the United States il
apparently about 60 per cent create
than that of those exported from thu
United Kingdom.

TINY TOTS TRAVEL FAR
TWO CHILDREN AGED ELEVEN

~
Boston, Dec. 26.-On an immigrant
train speeding west to-day is a little
girl who, in company with her baby
brother, is making the last stages Of a
5000 mile journey to her fathers
home in Elk Rapids, Mich. Her name
is Lydia Hjerps and she is IL years
old. The baby brother is Carl Hjerps
and he is 5. The tiny voyagers reached
here yesterday in the steerage of the
Saxonia.
Theirs is the same pathetic story
Sc we'll known in immigration office
annals here. The father came to
America but remained poor and before
he could get money enough to send for
his wife and childrenSin Sweden, the
wife died from the worry and waiting.
The two children could travel for the
price Of one adult and the father man
aged to gather the passage money for
the two.

WOMAN DIES OF SHAME
JAILED FOR SWINDLING, SHE
DIES THREE HOURS LATER,
PHYSICIANS SAY FROM SHAME.
New York Sun Special Service.

Kansas City, Dec. 26.-According
to Coroner Charles Lester. the death
of Mrs. Mary Gibbs, who died sud-
denly within a few hours after her ar
rest on the charge Of swindling near
ly every bank in town by means of
forged drafts, was due to congestion
of the lungs, brought about by the
shame and disgrace following her ar
rest and arraignment.
Mrs. Gibbs was only FL years old,
but had been twice married, once to
boy of Is, when she was only Is.
She secured divorce few months
later and three years ago married Q.
G. Gibbs, a travelling salesman. The
act for which she was arrested and
which she confessed was forging a
draft for $500 on a Chicago bank and
cashing it at the Missouri Savings

CONSUL GENERAL GOODNOW
WANTS A CHINESE JURISDIC-

Washington, Dec. 26.-Consul Cen
eral John GoodnoW of Shanghai,
while in Washington, paid several
visits to Representative Richardson of
Tennessee, who is at the head Of the
Scottish Rite, southern jurisdiction,
Masonry of the United States. Mr..
Goodnow is at the head Of the Scot
tish Rite order in China, and is anx-
ious to have it separated from the
jurisdiction of Japan and made Jur-
isdictiOn on it's own account. Ills
conferences with Mr.. Richardson were
very satisfactory but final action has
been deferred, at GoOdnoW's request
until the arrival in this country OF
Rev. John r.. Rykes, D. D., agent OF
the American Bible society in China,
who is at the head Of the two Scottish
DR.. Rykes is expected to arrive Snort
ly after the first of the year.
There are four American blue
lodges in China, three in Shanghai
and one in Tientsin. There are also,
in Shanghai, four English blue lodges,
one Scotch lodge, and one German
lodge There is a lodge in every open
port Of China, and Masonry there is
in very fourishing condition. Four
out OIL every i've ISpuIdUlS@ LII Cl5liSAo p
in the Chinese orient are Masons.
The Chinese have a great many Ma
sonic lodges, but their Masonry is de-
| based, and Chinese Masons do not
affiliate with members Of foreign
lodges. Chinese Masonry Is political
institution, modelled somewhat after
the Boxer societies, but without the
! incendiary and revolutionary features
| of the latter, and, while in the essen
| tials it follows the ancient landmarks
as laid down for the craft in this
| country, it is unlike it in purpose and
| character.
1--WE have two strong Royal Arch
chapters in Shanghai said Mr..
Goodnow, "and one commandery OF
Knights Templar. When I went tc
! Shanghai I found a small and almost
/ defunct consistory. Three years age
we planned to give it new life, and
! in 1901 it was reorganized with ter
members. To-day it's membership |:

is under the jurisdiction of Japan
