Special to Morning News.

Alliance, o., Sept. 11.-George M.
Welsh, said to be Pennsylvania rail-
road detective from Beaver Falls, fore
IDLY kidnapped his 9-year-old son, Bart,
from the Fairmount Children's Home
at about o'clock Monday afternoon.
Welsh and his wife formerly lived at
East Liverpool, but some time ago they
quarreled and separated. The mother
took charge of the boy, but about three
months ago the lad became unruly and
she placed him in the home.
II appears that the father has had
designs upon the boy for some time,
and about a week ago he made an un-
successful attempt to secure him from
the home.
This afternoon Supt. NJ. M. South
worth was absent from the home and
spent the greater part of the afternoon
in Alliance. Evidently Welsh had come
to Alliance today and had become cog
infant of the fact that the superintend-
ent was in the city and away from the
home.

worth.
Welsh's request to see his son was
granted, and he was called into the
room where Mrs. Southworth and the
lads father were talking. Mrs. South
worth steadfastly refused to release the
boy from her sight, and welsh request
for the release of the boy was to no
avail

.SMYSER'S OPINION
OF MAJOR TACGART
CONGRESSMAN'S ARG U M IN T
FILLED WITH BITTER
INvECTIVE.
incidentally Takes Shot at Wertz
and Sterline-His Version of
Taegart's Prayer.

Wooster, o., Sept. 11.-It is thought
that tomorrow may see NE finish OF
the arguments in the Taggart divorce
case, and, at the fu-.hest, they will not
last longer than until Wednesday noon.
The argument of Congressman M. l..
Smyser for Mrs. Taggart, which con-
sumed the entire day, was filled with
bitter invective. He severely arraigned
Major Taggart, calling him a "strutting
peacock and coward"
Just think of this highball roller,
this mint julip mixer, this cocktail
concocter, taking fermented grape juice
when he set up the whisky to Billy
Taggart when he arrived in Orrville
with the children" he said.
Speaking of Taggart's taking the
children from San Francisco, he said
"A greater fraud was never perpetrated
by consummate rascal"
In excusing the visit of Mrs. Taggart
with friends to an alleged place of i'll
fame in San Francisco, he said: Sup
posing she did go there, have we not
evidence to show that Major Taggart
set the example for such an act when
he himself took his little wife and went
on a Summing expedition through
Chinatown"
He defended Gen. Miners course in
locking Taggart up at Leavenworth af-
ter the trouble in the Taggart family,
HE did what anyone Would have
done. He allowed Mrs. Taggart to
make up her mind without any outside
influence and kept Major Taggart
away. Any other move would have
been culpable."
In discussing the charges against
Mrs. Taggart, he said: Let him who
is without blame cast the first stone"
motioning to the chair occupied by
Major Taggart during the trial.
There was nothing wrong in Miners
complimenting Mrs. Taggart at the
dinner party. I'd like to see what At
torney Wertz would say If turned loose
among lot of women. l don't know
about my friend Sterling, for take it
he is a woman hater."
A great deal of the argument was
used to explain that there was nothing
in Mrs. Taggart's relations with Billy
Taggart that admitted of any construc-
tion of wrong doing.
In speaking of Taggart's assertion
that he taught the boys prayers. Smy-
ser said the prayer must have run
something like this:
Now lay me down to sleep;
pray the Lord my cocktail keep;
II / should die before l wake,
Some one my mint julip make"

NEXT MEETING OF
LETTER CARRIERS
ANNOUNCEMENT IN THE NEWS
CAUSES RATIFICATION.
viii Be at Least 1900 Delegates and
Many More visltors-A Eig
Convention.

The announcement in yesterday s
News that Canton had secured the con-
vention of the National Association of
Letter Carriers caused somewhat of a
surprise to the citizens of Canton, as
it had been announced in the Sunday
papers that Atlantic City, N. T., had
been decided upon.
Charles r. Raedel, who represented
Canton at eight different conventions,
and was for six years national officer
Of the convention, said last night: 'The
citizens of Canton have cause to con-
gratulate themselves upon securing this
convention. About 1,200 regular dele
gates attend these conventions and as
many visitors. On Labor Day a grand
parade of all the letter carriers that
are able to attend takes place. The
entire force of letter carriers, in full
uniform, from Cleveland, Pittsburg
Toledo, Columbus and at least 40 other
cities will appear in the parade, and,
as each delegation will be accompanied
by band, it means at least 5000 men
in line. The convention used to meet
annually, but about three years ago it
was decided to meet every two years,
so the convention will not meet here
until 1907. The convention is usually
in session about eight days, and the
cost of entertaining them will be quite
handsome sum-"

BY THE WABASH ROUTE
TO GREAT HAPPINESS
Harry Lawson and Joseph Fox Do the
Honors in New Department Estab-
lished by Popular Highway.

Monday afternoon at o'clock Miss
Shearer and Andrew ]. Walters, both
Of Allegheny, were quietly married at
the parsonage of Rev. J. A. Hall. The
romance started in Allegheny, but eli
max of it could not be reached there
on account of the opposition of Miss
Shearer's parents, so they decided to
come to Canton and be married, hav-
ing heard that this city was famed
for its opportunities for such unions.
Mr.. Walters is a prominent mer-
chant of Allegheny and was persuaded
by a friend of his who is a ticket
agent on the Wabash, to take that
road to Canton. They did so and
were met in this city by Harry A.
Lawson, local ticket agent, and JOS
eph l.. Fox, of the commissary de-
partment of the Wabash, who piloted
them to the probate office where a
marriage license was secured after
which the union was effected. After
the ceremony Messrs Lawson and Fox
took them over the city and then saw
them off on their wedding trip. They
left for Toledo. Detroit and Chicago,
where they will spend some time and
then they will reside in Allegheny.

ALARMING NEWS
FROM CAUCASUS
CONDITIONS AT BAKU ARE
WORSE THAN EVER.
Russian ReVolutionists Are Now In
Desperate Conflict With the
Imperial Troops.

st. Petersburg, Sept 12.--Alarming
dispatches were received from the Cau-
casus this morning. Two bulletins
from Baku say the conditions there are
worse than at any time since the race
war and revolt sprang up simul. ane-
ously. Not only have the battles be-
tween the ArmeTians and Tartars been
resrmed with redoubled fury, but the
Russian TevolutiOnists are in desperate
conflict with the imperial troops and
all the resources of the war department
in that part of the empire are required
to control the situation. 1t is feared
all 1rans-Caucasia shortly will pass
into the hands of the insurgs ITS and
that what is left by the rioters will be
devcured by the Tartar horde. Kurds
and Tartars are in possession Of Baku's
important Black-town district. They
have sacked the public buildings there
and destroyed the property of the oil
companies.
seventeen strikers were slain by SOL
Ciers on Sunday. A Cossack battery
tCrr ed its rapid fire guns on a crowd Of
wurkmen assembled to pass petition
were assured of the pacific intention Of
the meeting, but they opened fire with,
out other answer. The strikers, see-
ing their comrades fall, rushed the bat
| terry, captured the guns and turned them
on the soldiers. Dozens of the artillery
men were killed or wounded and the
survivors fed in confusion.
A sequel to the attack by the Co.'S
sacks was an attempt by strikers to fire
the battery barracks last night 1t was
| unsuccessful. Insurgents landed at
Bibiebat from small boats the same
evening, however, and set fire to sew
eral buildings belonging to oil compa-
| nies before they were driven back by
the troops. Steamships used as ref
| uges by the directors of the companies
were attacked by the rioters. They re-
pulsed the assault with machine guns.
Oil men representing an annual pro-
duction of 500, 100000 pools, today drew
up a remonstrance, which they will ask
Minister of Finance Kokovsoff to pre-
sent to Emepror Nicholas, stating that
| it is impossible for the naphtha indus
| try to exist under present conditions
and that the companies will not re-
sumo operations unless guarantees are
| given them that order soon will be re-
stored and permanently maintained in
| the oil regions.

The MACHINISTS
Eleventh Biennial Conference of the
International Association.

Boston, Mass, Sept. 11.-Three hun
dred delegates to the eleventh biennial
conference of the International Asso-
citation of Machinists were present in
Faneuil Hall today, when the dele
gates were extended a greeting to the
city's hospitality. The convention,
which will last two weeks, is the most
important in the history of the organ
ization, as several questions of vital
interest will be acted upon, including
that Of obtaining nine-hour day
among machinists employed on the
railroads of the country.
The question of electing information
al officers by vote in convention, rather
than by referendum, as at present, will
be considered, and trouble is anticipat-
ed between the Socialistic membership
as opposed to the regular trade union
list.
Delegates from all sections of North
America, including several from Mex
leo and Canada, and fair sprinkling
Of the fair sex, were present when Da-
vid l.. Mahan, chairman Of the local
ieCtptioh SolhuiittcC, opOhSu luc VII
vention and introduced Business Agent
Charles r. Sterling of the Boston
lodge, who welcomed the delegates on
behalf of the local machinists and ere
ated much enthusiasm by declaring
that the association would win its pres
ent trouble on the Santa Fe system.
President Francis Clark of Brockton,
president of the state branch Of the
American Federation of Labor, also
extended greeting.
President James O'Connell, on behalf
of the delegates, thanked the reception
committee, and in an eloquent address
declared that the manchinists and trade
unionists as a whole were ready to sac
rifice their lives, If necessary, to obtain
justice for the laboring man.
