PUTNEY NOT LOST.

Trace of Stephen Putney, jr., son OF
one of the wealthiest men in Richmond,
has been found in Kansas City, but ac-
cording to information received by the
ST. Louis police, he escaped from the
room where he was discovered. Lang
horne Putney, halfbrolher of the miss
ing boy, went to Kansas City yesterday
to take up the search. 1t is stated, how
ever, that LaDghorne Putney on Mon
day received letter telling him that his
brother would return If he followed GER
tain directions, and dropped package
containing 81, 600 at a certain place.
Chief of Police Kiely, of st. Louis,
declined TO discuss the case further than
to say that he was positive that the boy
was not being held for ransom. He
said, however, that he had heard of the
letter received by Mr. Putney. Mr..
Putney, when seen in st. Louis before
departing Yesterday declared that he had
not received a demand for 4 ransom.
However it is said that the police in
structed him to keep quiet about the
letter he received last Monday until
they had time to work on the case and
discover, if possible, who wrote the
letter,
Langhorne Putney stated Wednesday
night that he not communicated to any
member of his family in Richmond the
fact that his brother, Stephen Putney,
jr., who disappeared in St. Louis, was in
the hands osabductors.
~ talked with my father over the
long -distance telephone Wednesday
night" said Mr. Putney, "and neither
of us mentioned that Stephen was in the
hands of kidnappers or that demand
had been made for ransom. There is
absolutely no clew regarding the boys
whereabouts known to me-"
The mystery regarding Stephen Put.
ney, IT,, who disappeared In St. Louis
week ago was deepened by dispatch re-
ceived in Richmond yesterday from ST.
Louis attributed to his brother, Lang
horne Putney, in which he says that the
boy has not been kidnapped, that his
going away was a piece of youthful in
discretion, that there is no woman in the
ease, and that he will return safe and
sound. bringing his sster-in-law's jew !
alry intact with him.
This is a direct contradiction of the
story given out Wednesday night from
he boys home in Richmond to the ef-
Get that Putney had been kidnapped and
vas being held for ransom.

For OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES.

A dispatch from Richmond says: A
squirt in State politics was noticed Thurs
day as result of the announcement on the
part of State Senator William p Barks-
dale, of Halifax, to some close friends
that he has positively made up his mind
to enter the race for Lieutenant-Govern-
or.
The candidacy of Mr. Bsrksdale brings
about an interesting situation with refer
ence to the next State ticket. Congress
man Swanson, of PIttsylvania, is a lead
ing candidate for Governor and his
county adjoins that OF Mr.. BarksdaIe.
Hitherto these two have been close polit-
ical friends, and for all that is known
in Richmond that may still be, but it is
manifest that Mr.. Swsnson's supporters
are not taking kindly to the Senator's
candidacy Tor the second place on the
ticket, as they do not believe that two
men from the same section of theStste
will be placed upon the ticket by the pri-
mary next year.
Mr.. James r. Cation, of Alexandria,
and Mr.. Charles T. Bland, OF Ports
mouth, are the other candidates for the
second place.

with the Presidents trip to the St.
Louis Exposition, which started at mid
night last night. Never have such pre-
cautions been taken to carry safely the

alone is the government lending its aid
to insure safety, but the Pennsylvania

SUGGESTION that the President, in his

aiiug the Bureau Of Corporatio IS, 50 as TO
make public the information collected by
that bureau regarding corporation at
fairs, is causing apprehension and the
gathering of storm of protest, which
will break if the intimatiOn of the Presi-
dents intentions is found to be correct.
The provision of the law which makes
all information given the Bureau of Cor
porations confidential, and subject only
to such use as the the President may
deem necessary, was very carefully
framed. 1t was intended that no cor
pOration should be required to make
known its affairs for the benefit of a
business competitor. The Standard Oil
Company fought the whole proposition
upon the ground that it should not be
required to make any statement and it is
predicted if such a recommendation is
made, it will make the gathering of in
formation more difficult than ever.
