ing $500 on pain Of abduction Of a
member Of his family. Since the boy
has disappeared he has, received four
others, Offering to return the boy if
made to return the boy in a box'' if
the money is not paid. The child was

coaxed him away. The father at once
hotifed the police. The latter now be-
lieve that the father has paid the ran.
som, and they watched his home today
! intending to- arrest anyone bringing the
boy home.
An odd coincidence to which the po

that the Mareaneina boy is a cousin Of
Tony Mannino Of Brooklyn, who was
kidnapped several months ago, and that
Salvatore Mannino, the uncle. Of Tony
and who returned him to his parents

ROADS FAVORED,
SAYS STICKNEY
Chicago Great Western President
Declares Interstate Commerce !
Commission Plays Favorites.

That several railroad companies have
been singularly favored by the inter-
state commerce commission In it's pro-
ceedings against alleged violators of
the anti-rebate law is the belief Of
President A. B. Stickney Of the Chi
cago Great Western road.
Proceedings have been brought, -
he said today, against fifteen or TWEEN
ty companies, but the commission re-
fused to take any steps against two or
three other roads. Those roads still
continue to give rebates, just as they
did before. Those roads have not been
interfered with. Now, is that right Z
Is that justiceQ don It think it is. -
Mr.. Stickney had just acknowledged
the substantial accuracy of an inter-
view with himself published yesterday
in Chicago.
ct thought that was a private con.
versation at the time,o he said. 81
ddn t expect it would be printed. But
it is practically correct
In that statement the Great Western q
president was quoted as saying that
u President Roosevelt didn It know what
he was driving at; that he didn t
understand the rate question: and was
!" cropping in the dark, trying to do
something to please the people without
knowing what should be done,- and
Hthat his suggestions had been devoid
Of any remedy so far.

NORWAY TO SEEK
RECOGNITION NOW
Love1and Declares Norwegians
May Set Up Republican,
Government. 49,.

Christiania, Norway, Sept. 2s.-An
authorized statement made by J. @.
Loevland, minister of foreign affairs,
makes it plain that Norway will lose
no time. in seeking the recognition of
the foreign powers: Steps will be taken
to that end just as soon as the protocol
becomes 8. valid document by the rati-
nations. Recognition will be asked be-
fore the ultimate form. Of government
is decided upon and without reference
to that question. .:., .. =.
Concerning the offer of the throne to
Prince Karl of Sweden Mr.. Loevland
said: -.
"The storthing's offer still operates,
fcially rejected. But Norway will not
make a second offer, nor can we in
definitely wait for an answer from King
Oscar. If we do not receive response
very soon we shall consider ourselves
relieved and turn elsewhere. Prince
Karl Of Denmark would then be the
most available thru language and ma.
tionality. Prince Karl Of Sweden would
have received an enthusiastic welcome
had he accepted the throne. He would
still be welcome, but the people are nc
longer Enthusiastic
Asked what form Of government, Nor
way would adopt if the monarchy is
| abandoned, Mr.. Loevland answered.:
| "We. shall have to choose between
three kinds of republics. First, {
monarchial republic, like France, where
the president is virtually king with {
fixed term; second, an absolute republic
like that of. the United States, where
the president is autocratic in power
and, third, democratic republic, hk'
Switzerland. This last satisfies us bes
and we shall undoubtedly adopt it.
J Mr.. Loevland read and approved tn,
interview.
The ten deputies who introduced tn
resolution for the summoning of a con
stitutent storthing explain that the PEG
pie of Norway would refuse to accep
a prince of the house Of Bernadotte TO
king, and that large majority Of tn
people favor a republican form of gov
eminent to which the foreign power
would not object. The question of tn
future form of government, they say
must be left to the people.
The Aftenpost, the Morgenblad an
the Verdens Gang, the three leadin
!, papers, consider the suggestion untime

ON U. OF NJ. FIGHTS
Believes Prize Fight Law Violated

Matches.
SHARP CRITICISM rs
PASSED ON FACULTY
The Governor Favors Field Sports
but Thinks Yesterdays Matches
Exceeded Bounds.

The public boxing matches on the uni
versity campus yesterday were viola
lions Of the state law, in the Judgment I
of Governor John A. johnson, and the :
governor today condemned the universi-
ty faculty for permitting such an exhl-
bition.
''While not opposed to boxing as a

ernor johnson, don't believe it
should be male public spectacle, as it !:
was on the u Iversity campus. cannot
understand the course of the faculty
in permitting acts not allowed by law,
cate the boxing matches to have been.
Like the Real Thing.
It ought not to be possihRes to read
such an account as this one:
The boxing match between Larkin, '0S.
Of football fame, and Knoche, 90, at
tracted the greatest interest and was
one Of he fiercest fghs of he day. Lar
kin, no smaller, had his opponent groggy
after the second round and finished him
in the third, Knoche being unable to
proceed. Blood also flowed between the
last match of the day between Thorley,
08, and Mortenson, '09 The men were
evenly matched and both received severe
beatings. The referee called the match
a. draw at tn end of the third round.
Cor this from another paper:
1arkin, Of the football team, and
Knoche, husky freshman, fought three
fast rounds and the football player was
given the decision, his short-arm punches
proving too much for his taller but less
conditioned adversary.
| Morteson and Thorley boxed three
orunds to draw, the former having the
better ofthe argument In the second round
when he forced he fighting. In the last
round Thorley, the sophomore, came bach.
the stronger and more than held his own
for the round.
eff the faculty. was ignorant Of
such work in broad daylight on the
campus of the university, such igno.
rance is inexcusable.
Believes in Clean Sport.
i 'I believe in athletic sports, sdah
! as track contests, football and base

state institution, supported by state
& money, could permit young men pub
4 icly to violate state laws by engage

onstrate the physical superiority of
one class over the other.
!. ~ hope the newspaper accounts of
the occurrence, like the report of
Mark Twain 3 death, will prove to be
exaggerated
Governor johnson has several times
ordered local authorities to prevent
, tests,' but says he should not inter
fere in such an event as that on the
campus, where discipline is supposed
to be preserved by the faculty.
