KIDNAPPED BOY FOUND.
Little Frederick Muth Stolen fer Fan
Asom and Recovered.

PHILADELPHIA Little Frederick Muth.
who was kidnapped from school on
Tuesday last. was recovered from
his cap'or in a sensational man
ner Mouuay afternoon. For several
days the Identity of the kiinapper
has been known to the police, but
despite the efforts of 400 men who
have been working on the case. he
was not located until Monday.
ACCOMPANIED by one of his men,
Chief of Detectives Donaghy went 10
426 North SiXty-second street in West
PHILADELPHIA and there found John Jo
seph kean with his captive. kean at
tempted 10 escape and was shot at by
the detectives.
The bullets missed their aim, but
kean surrendered and was taken to
police headquarters The kidnapper,
who is torty-two years old. is de
scribed as former stock brolcr, who
had recently been real estate agent.
He has a wife and three children, and
II is believed that his desperate tinan-
cial situation drove him to his crime.
In communications to the father OF
the chi he demanded $1,000 for its
return, and in a letter written on FIJI
day dec ared he would Kill the child
and himself If the money was not
forthcoming I-ean's terms We're ac-
ceded 10 in personal inserted in
all of Saturdays papers. In SubSe-
quent letter kean proposed new terms
and these We're likewise accepted and
another personal" was inserted in
Sunday newspapers.
MeanWhil misleading stories have
been given to the public by the police
in order to serve their purpose.
The boy, who is only seven years
old, wa apparently unharmed except
that he bore evidence of suffering
from hunger and exposure.
When the kidnapper and his victim
were brought before Superintendent
of PoliCe Taylor the boy still had in
his hand the school books he had
when h. was enticed from school by
a deCoy note purporting to be from
his mother,
The house in which they were found
is an unoccupied dwelling on the out
skirts of the city.
The capture was primarily due to
the publication in sundays newspa-
pers that the police had abandoned
their search for the kidnapped boy.
This threw kean off his guar, and he
ventured outside the house. Detective
Blair, who was watching the house,
pouncCd on him and succeeded in fore
ing a confession from him When the
boy was found in the house he was
very dirty, not having been washed
since last Tuesday He said he had
been kept constantly in the house, had
been given bread and milk to eat and
was not mistreated.
kean was locked up and the boy
was taken to the home of his parents.

salad. II plain, wash well and chill;
sprinkle with olive oil and vinegar
and season with salt and pepper to

lp(S, potatoes, may all be used in such
a salad.
As picnic days viii soon be here. I
give some suggestions for the baskets.
1t Is IA mistake to carry a great mix
turc tor the picnic luncheon. it is
true everybody is hungry: but some
otherwise perfectly delicious things to
eat are entirely out of place on these
occasions. Strawberries. for example,
are better omitted: layer cake, jellies
that are not perfectly firm. sirups and
pies and custards; just as good things
are to be much more easily carried
without disastrous results
All sorts of sandwiches may be pre-
pared the night before and wrapped
IN damp napkins; roast chicken
makes fine eating, and should be dis
lolnted for convenience as should the
i1lea, also; cold meats sliced olives
in sealed bottles, pickles and butter
III Jelly glasses with tight-tittine
covers, radishes in a tin pau with ice
around them, lemons. uncut. milk in
oulked bottles, also in pals. with ice
whole tomatoes in ice, bottles of cold

and huttered while hot taste good: but
tered bread sandwiches, plain, are usu-
allT favored as others are apt to Gre
ate too much thirst Claret or any
scr- wine is good with cracked Ice, and

Provide the paper napkins by the
gross; they cost almost nothing, can
be thrown away. and answer many
purposes. salt and pepper shakers are
the best, and mayOnnaise should be

Boston-Accompan by the roar
of guns, the swapping of firecrackers
and the ringing of bells. the celebra-

of the battle of Bunker Hill, always
a local holiday, began at midnight. At
that hour Mayor Fitzgerald lighted an
immense bonfire on the Charlestown

place at the navy yard. The parade,
