Mother-love Triumphant.
But mere legal verbiage can't de-
stroy or root out motherlove. Despite
her failings, Mrs. Smith loves the lit
tie ones she brought into the world.
She is hungry for them; she wants
to take them to her heart again and
hear them whisper Mother"
But the court has made it's decree.
She must not see them. Under the
law she is not regarded as a fit per-
son to bring them up. But she finds
them somehow, and off she runs with
them-she has learned from the court
to be a kidnaper.
She knows her lesson well.
Judges may sit and sit, and ezpound
the law to its last letter but fathers
and mothers have a different code
They are learning to kidnap now
Railway train, automobile, horses
yachts-all have been used to kidnap
children. 1t is anything to get the lit
tie ones out of the state where the di-
vorce is granted, for then it means
delay-more law and more court de-
cisions. Meanwhile the kidnaper has
the children.
And there has never been convic-
tion for this kind of kidnapping. Wrong
as they be- no father or mother who
has stolen back child-and hundreds
have done so-has ever gone to prison
More children are kidnapped in the
United States every year by father or
mother than by all those criminals who
steal children for ransoms or revenge
And the lesson is learned in the di-
Vorce court

Madden Defied Court.

John +. Madden, the turfman, long
separated from his wife, boldly kid
naped his two boys, ten and four years
old, rather than let the mother take
them to Europe. They were at school
in Madison, n. ]. Madden learned
that the mother intended taking the
boys to Europe, and he made up his
mind that she shouldn't.
So he went out to Madison and Wis

the ground was white
Let us take sleigh ride" he said
to the boys.
They were only too glad A sleigh
was ordered, the boys climbed in and
off they hurried into the snow. But
Madden drove direct to the railway
station, bought tickets for New
York and took the boys with
him. They left that night for
Lexington, KY, where Madden
has a stock farm, and before Mrs.
Madden knew the truth the children
were out of the jurisdiction of the
courts of New York. But nobody ar

he did defy the court.

RESOLUTION OF RESPECT.
Acadia Parish Bar Pays Honor to
Conrad Debsillon's Memory
A Just and Impartial Judge. a Terror
to Evil Doors, in Whom the
Quality of Mercy Was Not
Lacking-His Life And
Works.,

crowley signal Mar. 10.
The Acadia parish bar this morning
passed resolutions in honor of the late
| Judge Conrad DebailiOn. and after
Judge Pugh had appointed a COM
mi.tee to purchase a portrait of the
deceased jurist to be hung in the
Acadia parish court room. adjourned
out of respect to his memory. The
resolutions follow:
Whereas. it has pleased the Great
Judge of the Universe to call away
from this world, in the very heyday of
a distinguished career both at the bar
and on the bench. Judge Conrad De-
b%aillon, once presiding judge of this
Court and for many years a practi-
toner in this judicial district: there
fore, be it
Resolved. That the Crowley bar
hereby gives expression of its deep
sorrow at the untimely death of Judge
Debaillon, and frames this memorial
of his character and capacity.
Judge DebaillOn was born sixty
one years ago, in ST. Landry parish,
near OpelOusas. He was the sOn of
Evariste Debaillon, himself "a true
scion of the stock and one of the
most prominent citizens of the At
takapas Country. His early life was
spent in the schools of his native viii
lage. Afterwards he entered the col
lege at Grand Coteau, then the Alma
Mater of a great many of the young
men belonging to the distinguished
families of Southwest Louisiana.
Owing, however. to the outbreak of
the civil War, young Debaillon was
not able to finish his course in that
institution. Fires of patriotism had
been enkindled in his heart, and on
Sept. 1. 1863, he enlisted in Company
A Twenty-eighth Louisiana Infantry,
and served as a private until the close
of the war. He was a firm believer in
the righteousness of the cause he had
espoused, and from its organization
up to the time of his death, had been
a faithful member of Camp Frank
Gardiner, U. c. V. When death
claimed him he was adjutant of the
Camp-an honor which he priced
highly.
After the war Judge Debaillon re-
turned tohis native land and was admit
ted othe bar in 1870. He practicedlaw
in Opelousas for several years. and
then went to Lafayette, where he form
ed q partnership with the late Judge
Eraste Moutor. Later he became the
law partner. of former Lieutenant
Governor c. Fl. Mouton, whose daugh-
ter, Louise, afterwards became his wife.
After fourteen q of brilliant
achievements at the bar, Judge De-
baillon was in 1884. elevated to the
Judgeship of the district then compOs-
ed of Lafayette and Vermilion, and
served in that capacity until 1889,
when he resigned. In 1896 he was

again made district judge, and wore
the judicial ermine until l9O4-the
last four years of his incumbency hav-
ing been spent as Judge of the Eigh-
teenth Judicial District, composed of
the parishes of Acadia and Lafayette.
Our intimate acquaintance and close
association with Judge Debaillon,
not only qualities us, but makes it
our pleasure, as we'll as our duty, to
speak of his transcendent qualities
both of mind and of heart. AS a
lawyer he ranked among the most
capable in the State, and his counsel
was sought far and wide. MOI only
had he devoted years to the assiduous
and intelligent study of the law, but
we was blessed with an analytical, a
judicial mind, that made the lawyer
born in him. Withal he was an ear
nest and eloquent advocate, possessed
of a sweet. engaging and delightful
personality, all of which combined,
made him one of the most successful
practitioners in the State.
Then came his incumbency as judge.
He was a terror to evil doors and dur
ing his administration there was a
marked decrease in the criminal re-
cords of this parish. He "a a stern
Judge, but all will join in paying him
the tribute of saying that he was fair
and impartial in the dispensing of JUS
tice. Neither did he lack the quality
of mercy in the proper cases, when he
| felt that he could be merciful and yet
not recreant in his duty to society.
His record as a Judge run among the
best and cleanest. and his decisions
almost always withstood the test OF
appellate scrutiny.
Resolved, Further, that these reso-
lutions be spread upon the minutes OF
this Court: that a copy of same be
transmitted to the family of u honor.
ed deceased brother. and that this
Court do adjourn out of respect
to his memory. tSigned.)

CRACKSMEN'S WORK Remarkable Series of Post office Burglaries in
 This State. LIST OF THE CRIMES Postmaster General Details Inspectors to Probe
 Them.
LIST OF THE CRIMES

Postmaster General Meyer at Wash ington is in receipt of an interesting letter from c. N. Hatch, postmaster at Bridgewater, Conn, giving some details concerning a remarkable series of post office irregularities that has occurred at and in the vicinity of Bridgewater. Postmaster Hatch writes in part:
 This office was blown March S1 and April ?, 1906. netting the cracksmen about $4,5OO New Milford four miles distant, safe was blown in August of the same year and within the last two months the following offices have been blown and contents stolen;
 Sandy Hook, eight miles distant; Roxbury Station, three miles distant; Washington Depot, eight miles distant; Roxbury Station, three miles distant These offices netted the 'yeggs' about $7000 from stamps and cash.
 Tt Is not very pleasant thought, when you close up at night, to think you may be held up or find the office in ruins in the morning"
 Representative E. J. Hill of Connecti- cut, in whose district all of the footed postoff1ces are located, called on the postmaster general with request that measures be taken by the department to protect the offices in the future and to apprehend the burglars, if possible. Postmaster General Meyer has written to Postmaster Hatch as follows, and he has sent a similar letter to Repre- sentative Hill:
 "The postof1ce inspector in charge at Boston has been directed to detail in- spectors to give this matter careful at tention and I have also given an order that circulars be issued for distribution among the postoffices in Connecticut announcing that the postmaster gener- al will pay liberal rewards for the capture of such culprtts."

SAY THEY WERE BUNClFD.
STRIKE BREAKERS KICK
Worked for Master Barbers and Were Fired With
 out Pay.

An aftermath of the barbers' strike came to light yesterday when George Sapanici and George Romize of New York, the only strike breakers who ma terialized out of the forty whom the 8master bankers claimed to have engag- ed, demanded weeks pay for the two hours work they put In, and failing to get it put the bill in the hands of At torney James NJ. Sullivan. Mir. Sulli- van handed the claims over to a deputy sheriff, who served notice for the amount on Henry Grenon, by whom the men were employed.
 Sapanici and Ramlzi came here from New York and procured what they thought were permanent positions. They worked for two hours and liked it. They showed up for work again yesterday and saw the union men standing by the chairs. Upon hearing an explanation they were very sore and demanded weeks pay.
 The two men said they came to the city not knowing that there was a strike here. They say they will carry this matter to court if necessary to col- lect the money.
 V. D. Nicolosi yesterday signed the agreement to give the barbers a half holiday and now none of the master barbers are holding out.

WILL BE KNOWN
 AS MERGER DAY Seven Bills up for Consid- eration in the Bay
 State. A DRASTIC MEASURE. Speaker Cole, However, Rec ognizes There is a Senti- ment for Consolidation.
A DRASTIC MEASURE.

Boston, June 1S.--On account of the mass of bills introduced in the legis- lature, to-day will probably go down in Beacon Hill history as merger day" Seven measures. all prompted by the proposed consolidation of the New York, New Haven and Hartford and Boston and Maine railroads, were up for consideration and the legislative committee on railroads had plenty of work to do at its executive session this forenoon.
 The feature of the days events was the. submission to the committee on railroads of bill drafted by Speaker John N Cole of the Massachusetts house of representatives, and an ac- conipanying explanation of the points in his bill which he wished emphasized.
 While in some respects Speaker Coles bill is a drastic measure, it recognizes that there is a sentiment In favor of the proposed consolidation. The bill provides for stay of proceed ings for one year. Before the consolida- tion can be effective 1t must receive the approval of the state board of railroad commissioners after a public hearing
 Attorney General Malone also ap- peared before the committee and sub- mitted q bill which provides that there shall be no consolidation without the express authority of the legislature and the approval of the railroad commits sioners. This bill is understood to have the approval of the governor.
 Representative Luce offered an order in the house to-day calling on the state tax commissioner to transmit a statement showing the corporation ex- else ast assessed upon the two railroad corporation in question, and his opinion of the probable effect upon the conn., monwealth and the cities and towns of an exchange of stock of those two com- panies.
 Other bills that were before the com mittee were the Brandeis bill, submit ted last week, which seeks to prevent the consolidation absolutely; a bill of- fered by Representative Luce providing for the office of a state controller of railroads, and two bills drafted last week by Attorney General Malone.

HEIRESS-LOVE HAS A NARROW ESCAPE Designer of Fast PowerB Boats Nearly Loses His Life
 off Bridgeport
 Lighthouse. CAPSIZED WITH
 HIS ENGINEER. Manages to Keep Afloat Until Lighthouse Keep CT Wright Rescues
 Him.

Bridgeport, June 18.-Charles G. Her reshoff, nephew of the noted yacht de- signer, Nat c. Herreshoff, and himself a designer of fast powerboats, with his engineer, Edward J. Sherman of this city, were rescued from drowning in Lcng Island sound this afternoon off the Bridgeport lighthouse, after the power boat Den, owned by George H. Hoadley of New York, and said to have been the fastest craft of it's kind on the coat, had been wrecked and sunk. The men managed by cllnglng to a cushion to keep a1oat until Lighthouse Keeper Wright came to their assistance in a launch. They had been in the water about twenty minutes and were almost exhausted.
 The accident came without warning and was peculiar in it's nature, accord ing to the story told tonight by MT. Sherman. He said that Mir. Herreshoff had taken the boat out for the purpose of testing a new propeller which had just been put in. The Den was run hing about twenty-eight miles an hour and suddenly, as 1t mounted the crest of a wave, broke amidships and sank with its machinery, leaving the two oc- cupants struggling in the water. The Den was on very frail construction the hull being not more than three-six- teenths of an inch thick, and 1t is be- lieved that 1t was the combination of the high speed and the impact of the water which proved too much for its powers of resistance, as 1t was prac- tically nothing more than a racing she'll having been built for the pur- pose of establishing a new record for power boats. It had been intended, in case to-day's trials proved satisfactory, to have taken the Den to Jamestown, where exhibition runs would have been given in the waters off the exhibition.
 This is the second time that MT. Her. reshoffs life had been endangered in the Den, the boat having capslzed last. summer while he was out in it making speed runs.

HAS NOT INTERFERED.
Disclaimer of the President on Appor-
 tionment Fight.

Oyster Bay. N. r.. June 1S,-A dis claimer of any activity on the part of President Roosevelt in the New York apportionment fight was made by Sec retary Loeb to-day upon his return to the executive offices on Sagamore Hill The secretary said:
 These statements that have been appearing in the newspapers that the president has interfered in any way In the apportionment matter are so ab- surd that 1t is hardly worth while to notice them. The president has not only taken no hand one way or the other. but has not the slightest knowl- edge of either scheme of apportion- ment, and has not only never express ed any opinion, but has not been con suited about either plan. If he had been consulted he would of course have de- 'clined to express any opinion whatever concerning either."

This would preclude the possibility of the prosecution Of of colonials for contra vention of tho bait act. which course Newfoundland held to be a constttu- tional result of the decision of Great Britain to thus deal with the question

RUSH AT HARTFORD
Upper and Lower Houses Hold Both Morning and
 Afternoon Sessions.
DONOVAN LED SENATE
The Bill Abolishing Bucket Shops in Connecticut
 Passed Unanimously.

Hartford, June 1S.-With the inten- tion of cleaning up legislative business as much as possible the senate and house held morning and afternoon seg- slons to-day, the senate adjourning a few moments before four and the house sitting until nearly 4:80. The calendar in the house which has been gradually growing to big proportions was tackled with vengeance and large number of bills were disposed of, some after lengths debates In the senate the usual routine, including the calendar was disposed of by the opening of the afternoon session, and after the com pletion of some house business Senator Walsh moved that all the bills on the table be taken up. With that motion the senators settled back in their seats for long afternoon, puck1ed down to business and got rid of a big pile of tabled matter, mostly house bills. Soon after the afternoon session in this branch opened, Lieutenant Governor Lake, who had put in g. hard day, re- signed the presidents chair in favor of Senator Donovan and when the senator from the Twenty-sixth district grasped the gavel, the whole boly gave him very complimentary hand-olapping. Senator Donovan, as presiding officer was a huge success, and he disposed of the business in a most creditable and expeditions manner. Incidentally there was more fun and horse-play in the senate chamber this afternoon than at any time during the present session of the general assembly, the presiding officer keeping the senators in roar of laughter by his bright and uncon- vential remarks. At times seven or eight senators would address the chair at one and the same time, but above all the good natured clamor, the pow erful voice of Senator Donovan could be heard making ruling that was not always parliamentary, but decidedly to the point. Withal the proceedings were productive of resSts.
 The. question of adjournment is al- ways open for discussion in the capitol and to-day many opinions were ex- pressed regarding 1t. Instead of early in July, many of the members were of the opinion that final adjournment would not come until the latter part of the month and possibly the session will extend into the first week of August.
 Just before the senate adjourned, Senator Walsh moved that the senate take up all the matters at the foot of the calendar tomorrow afternoon
