MISSING BOY
STOLEN INSTEAD
Of DROWNED

The mystery Of Raymond Adams dis
appearance has had recent developments
which point strongly to the possibility
that the four-year-old boy was abducted
rather than drowned I'm the Blackstone,
at the foot OF East street woonsocket,
Dec %.
For days there has been an unsuccess-
full search for the body. Mrs. Adam be-
lieves that he is still alive.
She says that about week before tho
supposed drowning accident a man came
TO board at Mrs. r. Auduchon's on Sayles
street, who said he was the father OF tho
Adam boy. Little Raymond ran to her
with a quarter, which he said was given
him by n man. Another day, in childish
prattle, he said You is not my only
mamma" Mrs Adam says that one day
the boy came to her and said: 'T am
going to fall into the water and you will
never see me again"
These sayings were told TO the child.

week she had a dream that the mother
and son were both alive and well.
The boy. when but six weeks old. was
brought to the Adam home about 10
o'clock on the evening OF Jan. 2, 1900. by
his mother Mrs. Duval. and another
woman. Mrs. Duval arranged with Mrs.
Adam to care for the child, for which
she would be paid. The child's board was
paid for four weeks. and then, Mrs. Adam
says. payment was stopped. When Ray
mond was six months old his mother went
to see him, and Mrs. Adam said that was
the last time she has seen her.
Mrs Adam became attached to the little
fellow and he knew her as his mother.
He grew UP n bright little boy and popu-

GOLF JOURNEYS SCHEDULED

The executive committee OF the United
States Golf association met at the office
OF Ransom II. Thomas. president OF tho
association. New York. yesterday after
noon and decided on links and dates for
the three national championships. The
following selections were announced:
Amateur mpionship-Englewood Golf
club, July l0-H.
Women's championship Brae Burn
Country club. October s-13.
open mpionship-Onwentsia club
June 2S and 20.
The Englewood Golf club may consider
itself fortunate I'm securing this golhne
plum I'm the face of so much competition
as the Apaw3mis club, Baltimore Country
club and Ekwanok Country club were all
IN the field. while the Country club OF
Brookline was doubtful though IL was
openly limited that bid from the club
al Clyde Park would he acted upon with
favor. In selecting the middle OF July the
college boys were considered. ns II would
have been impossible for them TO compete
any earlier.
With regard to the women, II had not
been generally supposed that the Brae
Burn Country club was I'm the field. but
IL transpired yesterday that the applica-
tion from the club at West Newton,
Mass arrived after the annual meeting
The Eastern Women's Golf association
had figured TO hold Its first annual cham
pionship AT Brae Burn I'm conjunction
with the tri-city team matches for tho
Clement A. Griscom trophy. but the East
ern association is now likely TO select
some other course.
The selection OF the Onwentsia club
brings about a fairly equal sectional di.
vsion-New York. Boston and Chicago
open Champion Will Anderson. who has
been engaged to take charge OF the on
wcntsia green this season, will have a
rare opportunity TO successfully defend
his title.
Five clubs were elected 10 associate

DEATH-TRAP FOR sCH|FF
Internal Machine Mailed in Phil
adeIphia to Jewish Banker.
FOUND UNDER A MAIL BOX
Examination Reveals That II Would
Have Killed NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
for the Deed.

An Internal machine addressed to
Jacob II. Schif, the New York
banker, was picked up on the street
in Philadelphia by Il colored boy,
who found it near a mail box. The
boy gave the package to a postman
who deposited T. with outgoing mail.
Supt. j. c. Mcknight observed a grain
of powder which fell from the box
and Immediately threw the package
into a pail of water.
The box was 10 inches long, 4 inch
es wida and one inch in depth. Inside
were placed two rolls of pasteboard
which held in place a match box fill
ed with %gunpowder and bullets
Matches had been sunk into the
powder, their heads resting AGAINST
the top Of the matchbox which had
been packed with sandpaper.
To te lid Of the matchbox was
fastened a piece of string with a
Jewish New Years card attached to
the othed end BY pulling out the card
would remove the lid of the match
box, ignite the matches and explode
the powder, scattering the bullets.
1t was mailed under the guise of n
Hebrew New Years gift. That It was
the deliberate attempt of some an
archist to kill the New York banker,
because of his aid in floating large
Russian loans, the postal inspectors
and secret service men, who are hot
on the trail, say is absolutely certain.
