KIDNAPPED CHILD FOUND
BROOKLYN SIX-YEAR-OLD SUR
PRIsEs ALL BY TURNING UP.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, August 2S.-Michael Callia,
the six-year-old son Of Giovanni Callia, a
Brooklyn barber, living at II McDougall
street, who was kidnapped July % and held
for ransom by members Of the Black Hand
Society, was found at l am today on the
uptown platform of the elevated station at
65th street and I'd avenue, this city. The
lad had been left there by middle-aged
man, looking like an Italian, at 10 O'Clock
last night. The ticket chopper saw the man
and boy pass through at that hour. Three
hours later the boy was seen sitting alone
on one Of the benches of the station and
was turned over to the police Of the East
9th street station. At the time the boy
disappeared his father notified the police,
and a general alarm was sent out About a
week later the father received threatening
letters from the Black Hand Society de-
manding 81 800 for the safe return of his
child.
These letters the father, who refused to
pay any ransom, gave over to the police,
and the italian districts Of Brooklyn and
Manhattan were searched for the child.
When found little Michael was very neatly
dressed in blue linen suit and new shoes,
stockings and hat. His shoes were careful
ly shined and his hair was nicely brushed.
From the East 9th street station the boy
was taken to the Children's Society," where
he was taken care of until his parents
came over from Brooklyn for him.
Kept Prisoner by a Woman.
= Later. under the questioning of his rela-
tives. the lad told of being taken to
strange house, where a woman kept him
prisoner In ROOM He was carried I'D
many stairs, he said, by two men whom
he never saw before. He could not tell the
number of the house or the street, but said
1t was far, far away from his home. He
had been brought across the river at night,
he said.
A remarkable statement made by the boy
Is that two other children, a girl and q
boy, are being held in the same house by
his kidnapers.
They were in the house during the entire
time Michael was there, and the children
were not permitted to speak to one an
other.
They treated me fine" said little MI
chael. But l feel sorry for the other
children. l don't know who they were. l
could not talk to them
The police theory is that the boy, after
beine stolen from his fathers home by
Italians in Brooklyn, was brought across to
this city. given by his abductors into the
hands of confederates and has been living
with them all the time since July 23.

NO MERGER, SAYS THE COURT.
A Decision Vitally Important to Fra

Special Dispatch to The Star
CHICAGO August ga decision vitally
important to fraternal benefit societies was
handed down by Judge Foster in the mu-
nicipal court today when he held that no
merger or consolidation of such societies
can be effected legally in Illinois.
The ruling of the court was upon a de-
murrer in the case of Edwin F. Smith
and Ira ]. Bell VS.. the Loyal Americans of
the Republic.
These are unique corporations" Judge
Foster declared, "organiZed for the sole
benefit of their members and beneficiaries
and not for profit. A careful reading of
the fraternal benefit society act makes 1t
plain, we think, that no consolidation of
such corporations was ever contemplated
or authorized by the legislature
Judge Foster pointed out that the age
limit OF sixty years necessarily invali-
dates any merger Of fraternal societies.
