board at Mrs. Funston s boarding house
on South Fifth street. Yesterday they
took abrupt leave on a Milwaukee, train.
Porter seemed to be in a great hurry
to leave the city. Sheriff Williams has
been following up the route they took
and learned that their baggage was
transferred at some point and did not
go to Minneapolis or st. Paul as report
ed. Mrs. Funston did not get a good look
at the child, but as soon as the, kid
mapping was reported she recalled the
havior of the latter. Porter left the
house with the boy about o'clock and
-, Porter May Not Be Guilty.
Yesterday morning he came hurriedly
up from town and packed his trunk. He
went into the kitchen and Informed
Mrs. Funston that he wished to settle

leaving. He seemed excited and in 9

49, CORTELYOU HOLDS FAST.
Will Retain Party Craftsmanship, Fac
ing Insurance Investigators.

Washington, Oct. 7.-George B. Cor,
telyou, chairman of the republican nat.
ional committee, will not resign the
chairmanship,r and this statement may
be made. today finally and definitely
with truth as its backing. .- -
The reason for the determination of
the postmaster general to hold onto his
place as head of the party campaign
body is not far to seek. Theodore Roose-
welt does not wish Mr.. .Cortelyou to.
retire from the position while there is.
even a suspicion of the smoke of fire
in the air and the chairman himself
holds the same view Of his duty in the
matter.
If John A. Mccall, president of the
New York Life, had not testified that
ne had turned over many thousands of
dollars OF the company's money to the
republican national committee during
the last campaign, Mr.. Cortelyou bv this
time would have handed in his resigna-
'tion as chairman and would have. in
sisted upon its acceptance.
Mr. Cortelyou said plainly today that.
matters had come up which required
his present attention: as national chair
man, but he; declined to state what
these matters were. Tt did not REQUIRE
an explicit. statement from him. to make
the. public know what the matters are
which are holding him in his position
as committee chairman. They are the
matters pertaining to the payment of
money by the New York Life to help
along the republican campaign com.
mlttee in its campaign last year. ::
Since the knowledge Of the insurance
company contribution there have been
conferences between prominent repub.
leans who have happened to. be in
washington. go ra'.--. - 800
It is held in Washington bv manv
people that the return of the money to
the Golfers of the New York Life would
be farcical procedure, and would tend
only to bring ridicule upon the com.
mittee and-upon the party leaders who
were responsible for the advice that the
money was raised and turned back into
the Mccall treasury.
It is, declared here freely that the
bravest way is the best way, and that
it were far better to tell what the re-
publicans believe to be the truth, and
that it is that the money was expended
for legitimate campaign purposes, and
was used to aid in the election of a
president and of congress that would
pass and carry out legislation which
would work for the financial interests
of the people of the whole country, the
policyholders of the New York Life
| included. '

Mr.. Vandiver closes his letter as fol.
| "But from the facts already dis.
closed, it is evident that the interest
of the policyholders in the New York
Life, as well AS the public generally
demands a change in the management
This department will, therefore, insist
that new president and vice president
