RoosEveLT's BIG HEART
Causes Him e See That a Veteran He
Met Hunting Gets Increase.

Washington, May A.-The .mpulsive ma
ture of President Roosevelt has served a
good turn for Whitaker Jayne of Colorado,
q veteran of the civil war, who, as a result
of the presidents hunting trip and their
chance acquaintance, has had his pension
increased from III to S2f'a month.
j. was while hunting in one of the Wild
est parts of the state that the. president
discovered Jayne. Learning that he had
an application on file for an increase OF
pension, the president became interested.
and upon his return to Washington sent a
strong letter to the pension commissioner
asking that the case be looked into. Jayne
was wounded IN the battle of Shiloh, re-
cciving an injury that stiifened his right
arm SO that he was discharged for disabil-
ity. He is still unable TO use his arm
freely.

IMPELs A MURDER
small Girl stezia and Kills Child. I'm.
PEELED by the influence of a
.Tbr;i,er.

Toronto, Ont. May 24-The PLAY. Kid
haped From New York produced at the
Majestic theater last week, suggested to
Josephine Carr the idea of Kidnapping, and
on Friday afternoon she decided to make a
practical test of it.
The motive, she says, was reward. but
the end was murder, She came down
town that afternoon and knowing that
a small lane next to a department store
was a faNroite resort for babies left
outside while their mothers shopped
within, watched her opportunity. AS
soon as Mrs. Murray of Wellington aven-
ue had left her 9-mcnths' old boy in its
go-cart. Josephine kidnapped the child,
cart AID all. Taking a car, she rode
almost to her home. Suddenly, she says,
she realized as night came on that she
had a helpless infant on her hands and
not knowing what TO do with ii, rolled
it down a @-foot railway embankment
near her home. Some time afterwards,
probably the next morning, she went to
the bottom of the ravire. There she
stripped the bruised and dead form of its
clothing and placed the body under a Cry
culvert. That forenoon she raised toe
alarm that she had found the go-cart ana
dead baby in the ravine. and as the result
Of the investigation which followed she
was placed under arrest and subsequently
confessed.
The alleged murderess - a motherless,
small girl, upon whose frail shoulders the
care of two smaller children has been
thrown.
