CAST UP By WAVES.
Body of Missing Beitord, N. j., 30,
Found on the Shore.

Belford, N. j., Oct. 9.-.Ihe body Of a
seven-year-old boy which washed ashore
here last Tuesday was identified today
as that of Harold McCloud, who disap
peared mysteliousy from his home in
Brooklyn 10 days ago The Identified
ton was made by the childs mother, who
has insisted that Harold was kidnapped,
Today Mrs. McCloud told the coroner
she is certain the child was carried away
by his father, who, she said, is not her
husband, Alexander McCloud, blu, a we'll
known lawyer who is about to be married
to a wealthy woman in New York. She
had known this man before she met Mr..
CcCloud, she, said, and it was as a re-
suit of Mr.. McCloud learning of this
acquaintance that he left her less than a
year after their marriage. Il met this
man more than seven years ago." she
told the coroner He was a student in
Columbia University then. Less than a
year after my baby was born he desert
ed me and I had not seen him In years
until l met him on the street in Brook
lyn three weeks ago. He questioned me
about Harold and l told him where our
boy lived"
Mrs. McCloud declared that 10 days
after she had talked with this man, the
boy was enticed to a cab occupied by
man and a woman and hurredly driven
away. She declared today her belief that
the lad was murdered but the coroner
said an examination of the body revealed
nothing that would lead to suspicion of
foul play.
Mrs. McCloud later in the day said
she had abandoned the theory that her
boy had been carried away and murdered
1t is her belief she said. that the lad
wandered away from home and fell into
the bay and his body was carried by the
tide to the point where it was found

low Austrian flag will never be strong

SHAW AND WHEELER
Guests Of and Address Massachusetts,
Reform Club at Boston.

Boston, Oct. 9.-FOrmer Secretary of
the Treasury Leslie NJ. Shaw of Wash
ington and Everett p. Wheeler of
New ork. former president of the New
York Reform Club, were the speakers
before the Massachusetts, Reform Club
at YouEg's hotel tonight
President James P Monroe presided
and the topic under discussion was
what Should Be Done with the Ding
lev Tariff Mr.. Wheeler presented
four propositions; to provide no duty,
executing those imposed under inter-
nal revenue of more than so per
cent; to abolish all tariff on raw ma
terials: to have commission Of ex-
ports to revise the schedules and to
abolish duties on nom enumerated ar
ticleS.
Mr.. Shaw touched but lightly upon
the subject which he stated he had
not expected to discuss He declared,
however, that if the country had begun
with free trade it would have become
as prosperous but not as wealthy as
under protection and that to now aban-
don the latter policy would mean uni
Versal disaster. He said he had ia
vored revision of the tariff early in
the Roosevelt administration as the
country would have had time to recov-
ell from the effects before the admins
tration went out. He rdiculed the idea
of the Omitted States capturing the
worlds markets, of which he said we
now have but per cent.

SUSTAINED IMPROVEMENT
Is Noticed in Trade CircIes-Best in
the Southwest.

New York, Oct 9-Bradstreet's State
of Trade tomorrow will say: Although
trade reports are somewhat irregular
in character, owing largely to varying
weather conditions in different sections
of the country and uncertainties caused
by impending elections, the general
Hndertone is toward sustained improve
ment. 1t has been too warm for free
movement of seasonable goods in such
territory as the Northwest South,
East and parts of the West, but cooler
weather and fall festivals have helped
retail trade in the Southwest.
The heavy marketing of crops has
made for an increased railway tonnage
and improved collections considerably,
while exports of wheat are heavy. Cot
ton picking is progressing rapidly and
although there are some reports of
holding. the general disposition is, to
market the staple at prevailing prices.
There is less industrial idleness and in
some instances business is developing
for the first quarter of 1908 specially in
shoes, lumber and pig iron.
Copper is a little firmer and business
for European and domestic account ,las
expanded slightly. Demand for copper
wire has increased a trifle. However,
the general tendency is to await the
outcome Of the forthcoming election.

the United States and Canada for the
