SAYS SHE WAS KIDNAPPED
Woman Sues Her Son for Attempting
TO Have Her Put in an In
sane Asylum.

Bloomington, ILL.,, Sept 10. -
Mrs. Lydie E. Schroeder, in the Rock
Island county court, has filed a suit
for $4,000 against her son, William
r. Schroeder, accusing him Of kidnap-
ing and abduction, and, by alleged de-
ception, keeping her in the insane de-
partment of hospital for a week The
son has twice in the past two years
sought to have conseryator appointed
for his mother.
She asserts that her husband while
in poor health turned over his proper
ty to their son, and when she be-
came suspicious of his actions, she
charges, he suggested to her husband
that she was insane and that she
should be so adjudged. She also
charges that he procured a certificate
from a physician that she was insane
in order that he could place her in
the hospital. She was deceived in go
ing to the hospital by report that her
younger son had been hurt.

One of our citizens sends us a
communication calling attention to
the fact that there are some very
rude youngsters in this town. Tn ey
are often ungeutlemanly to young
ladies and girls and saucy to
strangers on the streets. Our COM
munlcant says some Of these young
toughs doa't know enough to lead a
mule to water and that they ought
to be put to work before they grow
up into desperadoes. We are afraid
that there is much truth in this.
Every town has an element of that
class. We should hate to think
that Lancaster was as bad as some
towns of which we know but
nevertheless there is lot of room
for reform right here at home.
How reporters sometimes make
absurd mistakes in gathering news
was humorously illustrated not
long ago, when HeIicon Hall, Upton
Sinclair's Utopian colony, burned
down. Among those injured was
Mrs. Grace MACEDONIAN Cooke, the
we'll know author. A youthful
reporter on one of the big New
York dailies, eager to get his story
in the first edition, wrote hurriedly
that "Grace MCGOWAN, the cook
suffered from serious burns" And
this reminds us of a typographical
error in one of Ella Wheeler Wilcox's
poems. The author had written
for newspaper sonnet containing
this line: my soul is lighthouse
keeper" To her amazemept, the
verse read in print: MY soul is a
light housekeeper."

Vancouver, B. c.. Sept. 1O.-There
is renewed apprehension of further
anti-Asiatic rioting here, and all morn
ing Japanese and Chinese crowded
the local gun-shops to buy fire arms
and ammunition. They declare they
will defend their lives and property.
In case the Oriental quarter is again
attacked it is feared that there will
be bloodshed, for the Japanese and
Chinese are thoroughly aroused, and
are convinced that the police are pow
erless to protect them. Shortly before
noon the police notified the gun stores
to cease selling fire arms to any one
until such time as all possibility of
further outbreaks had passed. Be-
fore the order issued several hundreds
of Chinese and Japanese had armed
themselves.
OrientaIs Ready to Resist.
All Chinese and japanese domestic
servants, of whom hundreds are en-
ployed in Vancouver, have stopped

threats of their countrymen to act as
part of the defensive guard. Orientals
employed in the mills have also
stopped work, and have taken refuge
in the quarter occupied by their cOun-
trynen, where they are preparing to
assist in opposing any further at
tacks that may be made. Two hun
dred special policemen have been
sworn in and there is talk of calling
out the militia. There is little doubt
that this will be done in case the
rioting is renewed. Feeling all over
the city runs high, and anti-Asiatic
riot is likely to occur at any time. 4
No Fatalities, but Much Wreck.
So far there have been no fataii-
ties, although several of those injured
in Saturday nights riots are in a seri-
Gus condition. Twenty-six rioters
were held for further examination.
