The Wilmington Conference Academy
was founded to do the work for which its
name stands. Located in the capital
town of Delaware. with a campus of
four acres of ground, swarded and shaded
in the most luxuriant and beautiful
manner, with buildings ample and COM
modious, it has a property worth from
$4,000 to $1,000 For a whole
generation the financial strain and strug-
gle have been tremendous, but the chill
dren have paid for what the fathers
planted. A burdensome debt of S37 600
and the accruing interest caused the
burdenbearers to have to raise at least
| $4,000 What a day when the debt
/ clearing was declared accomplished.

Philadelphia, Pa, June 1s.-Cap-
tain of Detectives Donaghy admitted
last night that he had come to the
conclusion that little Freddie Muth
had not been kidnapped, but on the
contrary was in the keeping of some
relatives who are not on friendly
terms with the boys parents. Charles
Muth, the father of the boy, enter
tains this view mere strongly than
Capt. Donaghy.
MIR. Muth sent for Capt. Donaghy
last night and told him that he felt
sure his son had not been kidnapped.
He intimated that there was some
family trouble mixed up in the affair,
but despite the questioning Of the
chief of detectives would not tell the
whole story.
~ was convinced from what Muth
told me. " said Capt. Donaghy last
night, "that have had my men on
wild goose chase. / have called in
all the men / could reach and in the
morning l will take the rest off the
case
Capt. Donaghy was visibly angry
over the turn the sensational case has
taken. He admitted that clues were
slight and that with the exception Of
there was little TO work on, which
caused him TO feel suspicious about
the case. However he said, his doubts
could not be allowed to stand in the
way Of his plain duty, so he accepted
the fathers statement unconditionally
and set every available man ON his
force TO work.
Muth, the father, had little to say
last night.
"It Is true" he said, "that / sent
for Capt Donaghy TO tell him that
was sure Freddie was either with rela
tives in New Brunswick OF Brooklyn
At first | was sure Freddie was stoleI
from me, but now / think otherwise
/ told Capt Donaghy all this and
also told him that / was sure that
knew where my boy was and that hl
was safe. / have personal and famil.
reasons for not telling him more
although he pressed me TO. / an
sure now that a woman, relative O
mine, is behind the whole affair, bu
/ cannot tell you any more than this
When Capt. Donaghy reported Oh
result of his interview with Muth las
night, the superintendent sent on
orders to all the stationhouses {
abandon the search for the missin
boy and his supposed kidnappers. III
also notified other cities to give u
the search, sending short telegrai
explaining that the father knew wher
his son was. The superintendent, to,
wus angry over the turn affairs ha
taken. He also authorized the stat,
ment that Muth had told Cap
Donaghy that he did not intend !
prosecute any Of the persons concernG
with the disappearance of his son.
