KIDNAPPED
Weird Tale of Daylight Outrage
i'm New York

NEW YORK, July Judge Dennis
Daniel McKoon, a New York lawyer,
has disappeared and the police have
been notified by T. w. Darby, friend
and business associate, that he was
kidnapped in lower Broadway shortly
before noon on Friday last and is now
being held for ransom.
Letters have been received from Judge
McKoon, Mr.. Darby says, asking that
$1,000 demanded for his release be paid.
According to these letters Judge Nc
Koon, who is 76 years old, met three
men who had arranged a business ap
pOintment with him on Friday, and they
took him to a house. the location of
which was unknown to him, where he
is kept a prisoner.
The letters, he wrote, We're thrown
out of window to a boy who was
passing.
When asked if Judge McKoon had
ever disappeared in this way before,
Mr. Darby said that he had not. Capt.
Langan, of the detective bureau, how
ever, said tonight that Judge McKoon
had several times been reported to the
police headquarters as missing, and
that each time he subsequently turned
up all right.

Policeman at Picnic

NEW YORK, July 17.-After shoot
ing William Gorricy and Alonzo Do
rando, of Manhattan, during an attack
made upon him tonight by crowd of
men at Schurer's picnic park, at Co
roma, L. l., Charles Conran, detective
on duty in citizens clothes, sought ref
uge under the dancing platform, and
was there shot and killed by Policeman
John P. Gerrity.
Conran's fight with the crowd had
caused q call to be sent in for police
reserves, and when they arrived several
in the crowd told the officers that the
man who did the shooting was under
the platform. Nothing was said about
Conran being a detective, nor of his
having shot in self defense.
Gerrity crawled under the platform
and ordered Conran to come out Re-
ceiving no answer the fired and Conran
was instantly killed.
Gorricy and Dorando, who were shot
by Conran during the attack, were
from this city. Neither was danger

One Death
Snecial to The Globe

Special to The Globe
LA CROSSE, Wis, July 17.-Blown
beyond the help of hired life savers by
a cyclonic wind which frightened the
other bathers to shelter, Segan Olson,
aged eighteen, was drowned this after
noon at the city public baths at Petit
bone island. The body has not yet
been recovered.
Whirling black clouds filed the
heavens when nearly eco bathers were
at the baths Instructor Drews called
to all to come ashore, and just as the
storm broke, sending white capped
waves dashing high over the booms
and barges, all but one scrambled UP
the beach to the bath houses.
A boy is said to have called that one
swimmer was being blown by the wind
far out into the river, but so fierce was
the storm that it would have been
tempting death to launch the rowboat
held at the baths in readiness for emer;-
gencies.
1t is supposed that, exhausted and
beyond assistance Olson went down
where the water is more than forty
feet deep.
When all locker checks had been re-
deemed by the management the one
locker unclaimed was that of Olson.
He was employed as wood carver in
the Hackney altar works here and
was an expert in his line.

Three Dead; Many Frustrated
by Terrific Heat In
Chicago

CHICAGO, July 17-This was the
hottest day Chicago has experienced in
three years, and three deaths and a
score Of prostrations was the result.
The maximum temperature of "a de-
grees beats any record in the weather
bureau since July 81, 1901, when a
temperature of 103 degrees was record
ed. Since then the mercury has not
risen in Chicago, according to the Off
cial reports, above 90 until today.
The heat and sultriness came with
the rising of the sun. AT o'clock it
was 80 degrees, and shortly after noon
the 80 mark had been reached. From
this point the mercury crept steadily
upward, reaching the high mark of 81
at o'clock, and remained there for
over two hours. There was scarcely any
breeze and the suffering was intense.
In the downtown district the heat was
several degrees greater than the Off
cial records show.
At 10 o'clock tonight the heat showed
little Abatement and the opinion of
the weather forecaster was that no
marked decrease would be noted for a
day or two yet.

CHICAGO, July lin an attack
this afternoon on four colored nom
union men by mob composed of spec
tators at an amateur baseball game in
the vicinity of the stock yards, two
white men. one policeman and the four
non union men were severely injured.
Revolyers and knives were used and
three of the injured men are in seri-
Gus condition.
After finishing their days work at
SchwarZchild and Sulzberger's plant
the four colored non-union men on
their way home had to pass the
grounds where an amateur baseball
game was in progress. There We're full
ly 1000 persons watching the game,
most of whom were friends of the men
who went on strike last week. AS the
four workmen approached the place
some one in the crowd yelled and in
stantly rush was made for the ne
groes.
Two of the negroes had revolvers and
knife and as the mob started for them
they drew their weapons. Before they
could use them, however, they were
knocked to the ground by a dozen
white men. One of the negroes named
Baker, scrambled to his feet and be-
gan slashing right and left, and before
the knife could be taken away from
him he had stabbed James Kelly near
the heart.
Another of the negroes fired into the
crowd, two bullets hitting Tom Durand,
one of the attacking party.

Scent MURDER IN
DEATH OF LOOMS
English Officials Think Amer.
lean Diplomat Met With
Foul Play

LONDON, July 17.-Reports to the
Press association and the Central News
assert that a further examination of
the body of F. Kent Loomis, which was
found yesterday at Warren Point, some
fifteen miles from Plymouth, has given
rise to grave suspicious on the part of
the local officials that Mr.. LOOMS met
with foul play.
The wound behind the right ear is
described as being circular, large and
clean, and it is thought that it was in
f1icted before death. 1t is surmised
that Mr.. LOOMS body fell into the
water near the Eddystone lighthouse.
Joseph G. Stevens, American consul
at Plymouth, in response to a telegram
sent by the Associated Press tonight,
asking him if the local reports of foul
play had any basis, or if he had any
ground for suspicion regarding the
death of Mr.. Loomis, replied:
Il regret I cannot make any state
ments prior to the inquest, which will
be held tomorrow. The wound on the
head back Of the right ear is the size
Of half dollar. The body is fairly
preserved, especially about the top and
back of the head, considering the time
it has been in the water"

WHEAT CROP
WILL BE 69,946,O74 BUSHELS
Falling Off in Wheat Acreage Equals e
Crops May Be Lighter

South Dakota 45,362,S75 bushels; but
this estimate cannot be relied on for
the reason that the important factor of
acreage yield is unknown, the last
years yield being taken as a basis.
this rough estimate gives a total crop
of 173,311,55S bushels for the three
states, as against an actual yield of
173146,171 bushels in 1903
There is an unusually large acreage
of corn in Minnesota this year al
though it is smaller than usual in the
two Dakotas. In Minnesota it is esti-
mated to- be per cent larger, than
the 1903 acreage; in North Dakota it
is believed to be 20 per cent less than
last year, and. in South Dakota 10 per
cent less. In Minnesota, this years
acreage is estimated at 1,554,241. and
this, on the basis of last years average
yield, will produce 4S,9S5, O20 bushels of
corn. The 1908 crop was 4O7,26,S70.
Vastly larger areas were devoted to
fax last year than this year, in Mime
sofa and the Dakotas. The acreage in
Minnesota is only II per cent, in North
Dakota only IS per cent, and in South
Dakota only IS per cent as large as
it was last year. This will mean. of
course, tremendous reduction in the
total crop Of these three great flax
producing states. In, Minnesota, the
fiaX-seed crop this year-on the basis
of last years yield-will be 4,63O,39S

Parker Has Three Conferences
ESOPUS, N. Y, July a7.-Judge Par

come to Rosemount on a political mis-
SIGN.
Mr.. Sheehan visited Rosemount this
afternoon for half an hour and later
Judge Parker visited Mr.. Sheehan's
home.
The question of who is to be chair
man of the national committee was
not considered today. That question

lice not made quick response to a riot
call that was sent ill., some of the non-

Several of the rioters were placed

Strike Situation Unchanged
CHICAGO, July 17.-There was lit
tie if any change in the situation of
the meat packers strike here today.
With Michael ]. Donnelly, the strik-
ers' leader in ST. Louis looking after
that end of the difficulty, there was no
effort here today to renew the peace
negotiations which lasted through three
days last week and were terminated
last night without results.
Whether another attempt to reach an
adjustment of the controversy by ar
bitration will be made is problematic
as the packers, believing they had the
better of the argument in last weeks
conferences, are little inclined to offer
any concessions to the strikers. One
thing is certain, the packers say, and
that is that they will not recede from
the position they assumed in last weeks
conferences and that the strikers will
have to conform to the employers ul-

barre, Pittston, plymouth and Nanti-
coke met today to hear the report of

Much feeling was shown, according
TO the report of the press committee,
over the failure of the committee to Sc
cure an audience with the president,
but after a deal of talk the decision was
reached TO send a telegram to Presi-
dent Roosevelt asking for an early
audience and when it is granted, then
have the same committee call on the

WASHINGTON, D. c., July 1.-THE
condition of all crops in Minnesota,
with the exception of corn and rye, is
better than it was a year ago, accord
ing to the July reports to the agricul-
tural department. The acreage in some
cases, however, is considerably smaller
than last years, and unless the yield
this season is phenomenally large, these
crops will be smaller than those of
1908. The wheat situation is wholly far
vorable, according to these reports.
The official estimate of wheat acre
age in Minnesota this year places the
total area at SO per cent of last years.
Last year it was 5,393,32S acres, and
this years estimated area is, there
fore, 5,339,395 acres. The 1908 wheat
crop in Minnesota was 70,652,597 bush
els, but considering the slightly reduced
acreage and assuming the same yield
per acre, the 1904 crop may be esti-
mated at 69,946,074 bushels
The North Dakota acreage, however
is estimated as per cent larger
than that Of last year. On the other
hand, the total wheat area in South
Dakota this year is said to be per
cent smaller than it was last year. The
indicated yields in North Dakota for
this year is 58,002,609 bushels, and III

bushels, as against e,o1s,5os bushels in

bushels, as against 6,01S,50S bushels in
1903.
The potato acreage in Minnesota is
estimated to be SO per cent as large
as it was last year. in North Dakota
103 per cent, and in South Dakota 102
per cent. The total potato crop of the
three states should be larger than it
was last year, provided the average
yield per acre is not smaller than it
was in 1903. The estimated acreage in
Minnesota is 1928 and the indicated
crop S,7S1,696 bushels, but this esti-
mate may be upset by the average
yield which the season produces.
The condition of crops at the begin
ming of this month-indicated by per-
centages-was higher in Minnesota
than it was at the same. time last year,
with the exception of corn and rye,
and higher than the average for the
last ten years. In the case of nearly
every crop, this years superiority in
condition is very striking. Corn alone
shows lower condition In North Da-
kota this year, every other crop being
above last years record and the record
for ten years. In South Dakota,
higher condition is indicated for every
crop than last year; and all except corn
We're in better shape than the average
at any corresponding eperiod for ten
years.

the conference.
Craftsmanship Not Discussed
Mr.. Kern this afternoon said that he
came from Indianapolis on business in
Albany, and it was at Senator David B.
Hills suggestion that he visited Judge
Parker whom he had known for nine
years. He and the judge, he said, had
talked a good deal of politics, but had
not talked of the national committee
Craftsmanship. He had not come here,
he added, in the interests of national
committeeman Thomas Taggart of In
diana, nor to suggest to Judge Parker
who should be national chairman
1t was pointed out to Mr.. Kern that
the newspapers had intimated that
August Belmont was out of the race for
national chairman and it might be pos
sible that Mr.. Taggart would have
charge of active work in the West and
Mr.. Sheehan in the East. Mr.. Kern
said nothing but nodded his head in a
contemplative way.
Candidate Welcomed at Church
Judge Parker attended church serv-
ice at Kingston this morning, going to
the Mission church of the Holy Cross,
of which his son-in-law, Rev. Mr.. Hall,
is rector. He was accompanied by Mrs.
Parker. Mr.. Kern accompanied them
as far as the church, where he was met
by former State Senator John J. Lin
son, of Kingston, who drove him
through the city, pointing out interest
ing places.
The trip to Kingston was made by
the party in Judge Parker's launch

Henry G. Davis, Democratic candidate

out-and-out gold man and in favor of
conservative tariff. He is quoted in
a dispatch from Elkins to the WASH

Judge Parker and / are in accord

form at the st. Louis convention, and
voted for the sound money plank which
recognized the gold standard as fixed.
Subsequent events in the full commit
