KDNAPEDIN BROAD DAYLIGHT
Thrilling Experience of Young Man
in Hot Springs.

Hot Springs, Ark. Kidnapped in
broad daylight on a public thorough
fare of Hot Springs. bundled into a
waiting cab, handcuffea, drugged and
spirited away to ST. Louis, there to
make a thrilling escape from his mys-
terious captors by leaping from a swlft-
ly moving train, were the melodramatlc
experiences of Rellis Chitwood, a FORM
er government employee, who dlsap-
peared from here Sunday afternoon.
No solution of the mystery was a un-
til a message arrived from st. Louis To-
day telling of the experience there OF
a suspicious looking person wearing
handouts, who said he had been drug
ged in Hot Springs, Ark, by two un-
known men, and that after drinking
something in a cab with them he a
lost consciousness until he awakened In
a Pullman berth, and that he a
jumped from the fast train to escape a
fate which he could not imagine.
The fact that three postoffice inspect
ors who had registered at the Great
Northern hotel disappeared simultane-
ously with Chitwood, and that the
young man had been involved in a
series of difficulties with them; that he
has made on the witness stand sensa-
tional charges against certain inspect
ors and officials Of the local p~ostoffice,
and that he had been indicted by the
federal grand Jury on nine charges which
he claims were trumped up and of
which he was cleared in the courts at
Little Rock; these considerations lead
to the belief that his abduction was
the work of special agents OF the gov
eminent, although no new charges have
been formally lodged against the young
man.

TAFT OUTLINES HIS POLICIES.
Is for Stricter Railroad Laws and
Tariff Revision.

, Columbus, o., Aug. 21.-Speaking to
5000 persons here Monday night,
Secretary of Wal Taft, candidate for
the republican nomination to succeed
President Roosevelt, outlined his
views on what are regarded as the
great national questions which will
engage the country in the next presi
Dental election.
All of the Roosevelt policies for
government regulation of the rail-
roads, controlling the trusts, curling
swollen" fortunes, are reaffirmed by
the secretary of war.
He favors extending the rate law by
amendments prohibiting over-capital-
ization of railroads, the purchase Of
stock in competing lines, and the cleo
ton of common directors by compel
ing roads.
He is opposed to government own
ership of railroads because 1t would
cost s12, 900, 600, 900 to acquire them;
they would not be managed effective
ly or economically, and a reckless
chief executive c,uld u:e them t. con-
troll business anc politics.
He favors the criminal prosecution
and sending to Jail of wealthy offend
ers against the rate laws and the anti
s:ust law.
He defends combinations of capt.
tai, declaring that legitimately con
Quoted, they add to the prosperity OF
tne country.
To curb swollen fortunes he would
not have the federal government I'M

vocate of socialistic measures, he de-
clares, would stop the growth OF so.

TRAIN AND AUTO IN CRASH.
OF MILLIONAIRE CHAS.
r. ROOT Is PRACTICALLY
WIPED OUT.
RACED TO ROAD CROSSING
Himself, His Mother, Sister, Aunt and
Niece Are Crushed-Train Had
Siackened Its
Speed.

Great harrington, Mass, Aug. ZO.-
A millionaire's automobile and the
Pittsfeld express, after racing side by
side for more than a mile, came to
gether at a speed of so miles an hour
at Ashley Falls, near here.
The millionaire, Charles j. Root, OF
Bristol, Conn, and his aunt. Miss Gu
nacee Roberts, were killed instantly.
His mother, Mrs. Joel Root, blind and
deaf and 50 years old, died on the way
here. His sister, Miss Mary Root, is
diving in the Pittsfield hospital. One
side of her head is crushed. His IA
year-old niece, Catherine Root, a
daughter of Theodore Root, was dus
out of a pile Of debris unconscious
She was brought here, and regained
her senses. Physically she is sound,
but it is not unlikely the shock to her
nervous system will derange her
mind.
Family Practically Wiped Out.
One of the oldest and wealthiest
families of Connecticut was practi-
cally wiped out Of existence by the
collision. The Root family was one OF
the founders of Bristol. d.
The automobile was tearing along
the highway about a mile and a quar-
ter south of Ashley Falls when the
Pittsfeld express hove in sight. The
train was making between 40 and As
lilo m hn,tr Tho millionaire was
driving his machine about So.
The appearance of the train was a
challenge to Root. The conductor and
fireman came abreast. 1t was plain TO
the two men that the driver Of the
automobile was racing with the ex-
press.
All Over in a Second.
When the express was within a
quarter of a mile of Ashley Falls the
engineer whistled for a clear crossing.
It is said he slackened down three or
four miles in speed to approximately
40 miles an hour. The automobile
shot ahead.
1t landed on the middle of the juno
ton of the highway and the railroad
at the second that the locomo-
tive did. The engineer and fireman
closed their eyes then.
Root and his sister were found 30
feet north of the crossing. The nil
lionaire was dead. Miss Roots skull
was broken in and n Of her arms
hung loose at her side. Mrs. Root was
found on the other side of the high
way, badly injured and unconscious.
Mrs. Roberts was found crushed and
dead a few feet away. Under a heap
of debris the train crew and some pas
sengers found the still form OF Hilda
Roberts. The little girl, her aunt and
Mrs. Root were put aboard the ex-
press, and it was sent along toward
Great harrington at full speed. Mrs.
Roberts lived but a few minutes after
being taken aboard.

PEACE CONFERENCE
May Result In Compromise of North
Carolina Suits.

SaIOllud 0u1tSs
New York.-Another move toward
peace between the State OF North Caro-
lima and the Southern railway has been
made. Gov. Glenn of North Carolina,
just previous to his departure for home
last night, had a conference with A. II.
Thorn, the general counsel of the South
ern railway, in the course of which he
made some suggestions which he be-
lieves may lead to peace. In speaking
of the conference, Gov. Glenn said:
"My interview with Mr.. Thorn was
in the interest of good will and har-
mony, and to save the cost now accu-
mulating in the holding OF tn, suit in
this city. l made two suggestions to
Mr.. Thorn, the first of which was that
we stop the taking of testimony until
the two suits, n from the United
States circuit court and the other from
the State court, are appealed, so that
the supreme court of the United States
can pass on the jurisdiction of the two
courts, and that after this was done
each party would decide what course to
take.
"My second suggestion was that the
railroads stop their suits and try to
live under the 2t-cent rate, and if after
giving the law a trial they find that
they cannot continue under it and live,
then they should appeal to the justice
and the fair-mindedness of the people
in the State of North Carolina to right
the wrong, and it would be DONE"

FREIGHT BLOCKADE IN MEXICO.
Fifteen Hundred Loaded Cars Stand
ing idle at Tampico.


Tampico, Mex, Aug. 2O.-The
freight blockade at this port has
reached serious proportions. Thou.
sands of tons of coal and coke and
other material and articles, mostly
imported from the United States, are
lying in the yards here, the railroads
being unable to handle the enormous
business on account of lack of motive
power and equipment.
More than 1900 loaded cars are
standing in the railroad yards wait,
ing to be moved. Nine vessels are in
port with big cargoes.
Ship masters say the commerce of
the world has increased to such an
extent that not only the railroads, but
the steamships also, cannot handle IL
promptly.
