MED and Secures Child.

Cleveland, March 23.-Little Willie
Whitla, who caused the police of the
entire country worry since he was
kidnapped from school in Sharon last
Thursday, was returned to his father
at the Hollenden hotel here, In com
pliance with an agreement entered
into between the kidnapped boys faith
err and an agent of the kidnappers
here the boy was placed on street
car on the outskirts of the city and
started to the hotel. Two boys, G. w.
Ramsey and Edward Mahoney, recog-
pized the lad on the car and taking
him in charge conducted him TO his
father, who was in waiting according
to a prearranged plan which he had
followed at the dicration OF the kid
nappers. The boy wandered about
the hotel lobby unannounced for sew
eral minutes asking boil boys for rs
father before the latter knew his son
was in the big foyer. The moment
the anxious parent heard that a
strange boy was in the hotel saunter-
ing in aimless fashion he rushed
across the lobby, grasped him in his
arms and smothsred his face with
kisses.
The $4,000 ransom of Billy Whitla
was paid TO his kidnappers in little
candy store at East Fifty-third street
and Standard avenue. The money
was received by an ordinarily dressed
workingman, who gave his name as
Hayes, He picked up the package
filed with yellow backed bills, smiled
nonchalantly and left.
Mrs. Bernard Hendrickson, tenn
perarily in charge of the store for her
mother, Mrs. Margaret Uhls. forgot to
notice which way the man went and
at the door of the little grocery is the
last trace the police have of him.

The Difference.

What is the difference between high
grade and low grade baking powders?
All baking powders are white and are
sold IN round cans with bright labels
They look alike, but in contents they
are very different.
High grade baking powders are made
of pure cream of tartar derives from,
grapes, They are healthful and eco
nomical TO use.
Low-grade baking powders are made
of alum, an instringent mineral acid.
Before the Pure Food Law only a
chemist could tell by analysts one from
the other.
But now baking powders have the
ingredients printed on the back of the
label. BY reading the label the house,
keeper knows the ingredients and being
careful Of the welfare of her household,
avoids the Alum kind OF baking powder.
Good baking powder is one OF the
most useful things in the kirchen--and
there 10 difference.

KIDNAPPERS UNDER ARREST
Cleveland Police Capture Abduetors of
Willie WhtIa.

Cleveland, March 24.--In the arrest
here of a man and a woman having
1890 in their possession, the police
believe they have captured the kid
nappers of Willie Whitla. In fact the
woman in the case, who Is somewhat
befuddled, admitted that she had been
responsible for the kidnapping. When
placed in custody at the central po-
lice station she said to Captain Shat
tuck:
81 am the one who planned the
whole thing. There will be trouble
fol- me and hell in Sharon"
Beneath the woman's skirts was
found $3.50. All of it but $40 was
bound in packages with the original
slips placed on the money when
Whitla took it from the bank still
around 1t.
Captain Norman Shattuck and De.
tsctive Frank Wood made the arrests
In the east end OF the city. When
near the police station the man broke
away from Detective Wood and ran
toward an alley. The policeman fired
two shots from his revolver into the
air and the man stopped. The woman
made NO attempt to escape.

GIVEN HEARTY SEND OFF
Roosevelt Sails From New York
on African Trip.

New York. March 23.-Standing on
the bridge of the steamship Hamburg
and acknowledging the enthusiastic
cheering of thousands of persons who
had assembled to bid him goodbye
Theodore Roosevelt sailed for Africa
today. He was smiling happily and
showed Enthusiastically his pleasure at
the warmth of the demonstration ac-
corded him. Beside him on the bridge
stood his son Kermit and Captain
Burmeister, commander of the vessel.
The big ship left her pier at six min.
utes past IL o'clock and she slowly
made her way out into the channel
amid cheers that completely drowned
the music of the bands which were
playing The Star Spangled Banner"
The distinguished traveller was still
on the bridge watching the scene as
the vessel was warped out into the
stream and headed down the bay on
the start on her journey. The cheer
ing continued as long as the ship was
within hearing distance.
The crowds on the pier and the
steamer were SO great that the ex-
president was severely jostled several
times, but he was not hurt and smiled
through it all.
Accompanying the big ship down
the bay was the tug John ]. Timmins,
which had on board large number
of friends of the ex-president, among
them many who had been associated
with him in his official life.

OCCUPIES ENTIRE SESSION
Chairman Payne Concludes Tariff
Speech in House.


Washington, March 24--Occupying
the entire session of the house. Mr.
Payne of New York, chairman of the
committee on ways and means, con-
cluded his speech in explanation of
the tariff bill He was on his feet
almost all OF the five hours and ten
minutes that ne had the floor At
times he gave evidence of being great
ly fatigued and leaned on his desk
hoping in that way 10 get little rest.
The majority leader began his
speech in no particularly good frame
of mind, but as the day wore on he
exhibited the best of humor. He
closed amid the plaudits of the Repub-
licans, who crowded about him and
extended their congratulations. His
arguments covered wide field He
took the position that the bill would
not injure the tin plate or steel file in
dustry of the United States and that
free hides would not be menace TO
the farmers. He discussed the inheri-
lance tax at great length and said it
was preferable to an income tax be-
cause it would not give rise to perjury
or fraud. He held to the view, also,
that an income tax was wholly uncon-
stitutional.
The minority leader, Mr.. Clark of
Missouri, followed, and had proceeded
but a minute or two when, at the sug-
gestion of MIR. Payne, he suspended
and the house adjourned.

progress is complete. It has passed
from east to west about the earth to
reach it's highest statement where the
ends meet" It is perhaps happy
omen that this new and greater civili-
cation is to be called the Pacific. 1t

and the thousand years of peace may

The Forthcoming exposition has in

has one verse to each Of the words in
the hyphenated title, one to Alaska,
one to the Yukon, one to the Pacific
and one to the exposition. They are
perfectly good verses, that to the Pa
c1fic being worthy of quoting. The
Chinook poet" is not the first bard to
sing Of the seas. Byron in magnifi-
cent apostrophe commanded the ocean
to roll on" and it has been rolling on
ever since. The late Algernon Charles
Swinburne wrote Of ''The North Sea"
in numbers sufficiently grewsome to
send shivers down the spine of an ice
berg. In it he had death and the sea

I merely meant to show that he had
precedents for lifting his voice in song
to the ocean. But perhaps he is one of
the poets who need no precedents, one
of those who sing because they have to

or because nobody stops them. Here is
what the Chinook poet does to the
Pacific: ..
Earth's grandest ocean, rolling unseen of
men
For centuries-a nameless mystery!
Balboa from the heights of Darien
Saw far away wrinkled, sailless sea.
Ocean of peace, the worlds highway to
be-
What tongues the glory of thy reign shall
sing!
What prophet shall foretell thy destiny!
What honors may not future ages bring
To thee, o everlasting oceanic king!
''The Show That Is on Time"
The popular name for the Alaska-Yu-
kon-Pacifc exposition is the "A.-Y.-P."
In view of this fact, it is fortunate
they did not get the Yukon first. For
one thing, our friends the japanese,
who are to have prominent part in
the show, might have thought that
some Of our Swedish Americans in the
northwest were trying to make merry
at the Jap name. Whatever it's official
title may be, however, the affair will
be known as the Seattle exposition.
Seattle has made it and is entitled to
the honor. One of the meritorious new
features Of the enterprise is that it
has not asked the United States gov
eminent for cent, while the other
expositfons have yelled for loans from
Uncle Sam or appropriations outright.
Seattle is financing this affair herself.
In one day she raised $65O,OOO, or
$150,000 more than the management
had called for. That is the Seattle
style. During the past ten years it has
grown faster than any city of it's size
on earth. With such town behind it
the exposition cannot be other than a
success.
Another grateful departure in the
A.-Y.-P. is that it is going to open
actually on the opening day. Some
other expositions have opened when
they were half done and did not get
ready to appear properly in polite So
city till a month or two later. Seattle
has advertised this as ''the show that
will be on time" That settles the
matter, for Seattle makes good. When
President Taft presses the button on
June he will start the machinery in
completed plant. That is assured,
for it is practically completed now.

done into tabloid.
1t is fitting that the latest of indus
trial festivals is to be held on the
shores of the Pacific and that it is to
be not a memorial of the past, but a
prophecy of the future; not hung upon
yesterday, but on tomorrow. For it is
around the Pacific that the worlds
greatest civilization is to form. That
has been apparent for fifty years. Dur
ing the last half century an awakening
OF new life has touched all the lands
bordering the great ocean. Around the
gigantic horseshoe from South Amer
lea to Australasia it has progressed, as
though some world spirit had planned
it from behind the scenes. 1t freed the

philippines and applied the most ad-
Vanced theories Of government to Aus
tralia and New Zealand. The same
magical breath of life blew upon the
island gardens Of Hawaii Now comes
the climax Of all this advancement in
the construction of the Panama canal.
TO this new Pacific civilization the
United States is the key. Through the
Monroe doctrine and the canal she
dominates South and Central Amer
lea. Her spirit is more in western
canada than that of Britain. She
owns Alaska. 1t was she that awak-
ened Japan and maintained the tnteg-
'r1ty of China. She controls Hawaii
and the Philippines. She has furnished
