New York, March IA bankers son
kidnapped and held for $4,000 ransom
is the latest puzzle the New York po-
lice have been called upon to solve.
The parents, frantic with fear, have
received two letters from the boy i'm
ploring that the sum mentioned be
sent to his captors The kidnapers
themselves have twice written demand
ing the ransom on penalty of the lads

tort $4,000 is Antonio Bozuff1, the IA
year-old son of John Bozuffi, leading
Italian banker whose place of business
is at Sixty-third street and First av-
enue.
The kidnapping occurred last Sun
day, on which day the bank is kept
open during the afternoon. The boy,
who was acting as clerk, was sent
out to purchase $40 worth of stamps
and did not return. Inquiry proved
that he had made the purchase. Mon
day the first letter came from the lad.
Tuesday the second and with the let
ter he aoductors'. The latter was
wel writ en- and in Italian. The
boys first letter said he was held a
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
captors contained this sentence:
Our scope, signor is not vindictive-
ness. 1t is solely the extreme neces-
sity which exists for the possession Of
the sum indicated. On your consign4
ment of the money all at once without
default, your son will be set free and
safe"
March 8th is the day set for the pay
ment of the ransom.

massacre of Catholic missionaries and
the missionaries who fed are return
ing.
1t is stated that the Chinese gov
ernor has admitted his guilt in fail
ing to preserve the peace and has ask
ed for personal punishment. He
probably will be degraded.
An investigation of the trouble
shows that the French missionaries
invited the magistrate to a feast and
urged him to sign papers promising
an indemnity for property wrecked
last year and to release six Catholics
charged with murder. The magis-
trate declined to do so, and he was
fatally stabbed.
1t is reported that England will de-
mand punishment of the murderers
and indemnity and the privilege of
stationing gunboats on Poyang Lake.
The French demands have not yet
Ebeen formulated. There was no loss
of American life or property.
A recent imperial decree sternly
commands the provisional authorities
to protect foreign property and per-
