RankAr,s Son kidnapped.

A bankers son kidnapped and held
fer 500, 600 ransom, is the latest puzzle
the New York police have been called
upon to solve. The parents, frantic
with fear, have received two letters from
the boy imploring that the sum mem
toned be sent to his captors. The kid
nappers themselves have twice written,
demanding the ransom on penalty OF
the lads death.
The victim of the bod plain to extort
$40. 600 is Antonio BOzuffi, the fourteen
year-old son of John Bozuff, leading
Italian banker, whose place OF business
is at Sixtv-third street and First avenue,
New York.
The kidnapping occurred last Sunday,
on which day the bank is kept open
during the afternoon. The boy, who
was acting as a clerk, was sent out to
purchase $40 worth of stamps and did
not return. Inquiry proved that he had
made the purchase.
On Monday the first letter came from
the lad. Yesterday came the second,
and with i! the letter of the abductors.
The latter was well written and in
Italian. The boys first letter said he
was held captive in Brooklyn. After
asking that the money be paid, the note
concluded;
'Do not advise the police under any
circumstances, because if you do my life
will leave this world. "
One of the letters from The boys cap
tors contained the sentence
"Our scope, signor, is not vindicllye-
ness. 1t is solely the extreme necessity
which exists for the possession OF the
sum indicated. Upon your conslgn-
ment of the money, all at once, with
out default, your son will be set free and
safe"
March s is the day set for the pay
mert Of the ransom.
New York, March The fourteen
year-old son nf Banker BOzufii who has
been thought to have been kidnapped
returned home this morning. The atfaii
seem to be clouded in mysteay.

BOYS PARADE WITH COFFIN.
An Ugly Demonstration Against
Or. Foster.

A coffin parade is something new in
Williamsburg. and while the incident
amounted to little in itself. II has
been twisted and turned by senSa-
tional reporters into an incipient not
with bloodshed threatened.
The facts are these: Some boys
and one or two men conceived the
idea of ''burying' DR.. Foster. They
purchased a coffin from Mrs. Braith-
waite. and with number of lighted
candles on the lid. marched up town
led by negro cornetiSt. A well
known young man was dressed as
clergyman. and was to read the ser
vice. They proceeded to the college
and then down France street. the
mourners singing songs intended as
an insult TO DR.. Foster. At this
point Policeman Gillian interfered,
and the mayor was appealed TO for
permission TO allow the paraders TO
burn the coffin. He forbade them
to do so and instructed the police TO
arrest anyone who should attempt
TO start bonfire. saving they must
go outside the city limits.
The parsders then started up town
followed by a curious crowd. AS
the coffin got in front Of the execu-
tive building DR.. Foster met the
bearers with pistol. telling them he
would shoot if they came step fur
ther. There was a general stampede.
The paradeTs fled. dropping the coffin
Policeman Gillian arrested two
<. 7. Jones. of Newport News, and a
Mr.. Hopkins. a student. Both were
discharged by the mayor next morn
ing. as they were merely spectators.
AS 10 the danger of a riot or of
bloodshed. no one thought of such a
thing. The prompt action of Police
man Gillian. backed by the mayor,
is highly commendable.
The coffin was finally carried TO a
, stable. but a crowd OF hoodlums
burned il Thursday morning near
! the hospital.

of 9 to 4.

In the first real baseball game of
the season, the high school juniors
defeated the freshmen yesterday af-
ternoon on the Raritan Copper
Works diamond, TO the tune of 8 to
4. after a lively contest.
The game was started at 4 o'clock.
The juniors easily proved that they
could play ball, for almost from the
start they pulled away ahead of the
freshmen and at once time it was
not thought that the freshies would
get in a run at all, but Nelson, who
is the prize runner of that class, saw
ed the day. He came in with two
home runs and this warmed things
up a little.
At the beginning of the 9th in
ming the score was s to 2 in favor OF
the juniors. Ingfred Greison made
a home run and so did Hornsby, with
the result that at the end of the last
inning the score had been changed to
four runs in favor of the freshies.
William Hornsby pitched for the
juniors and put up a fine game. Fran
els Parsons pitched for the opposing
team. He put up a good game, but
did not have the best of support.
