BOILERS TO LEAD
FIGHT IN CAUCUS
1T is BELIEVED THAT TWENTY
THREE" WILL ATTEND CAUCUS
OF DEMOCRATS TO OPPOSE
SPECIAL REPORT.
By Ralph Smith

WASHINGTON, March 22.-Although it
is practically certain that the report Of
the committee of Is will be adopted by
the Democratic caucus tonight, it is prob
able that the % boilers will attend and
lead a determined fight on the report.
Representative Fitzgerald, the Brooklyn
ite. who led the bolt, is credited with
saying that he will not be bound by the
action of tonight's caucus, though 1t is
his purpose to attend and voice his OPP
position to the report.
FITZGERALD claims that the Democratic
caucus did not elect him to congress and
adds that il cannot vote him, now that
he is in congress. He will reserve the
right he says to vote as ne chooses on
all matters
Whether the other boilers take this
frank position is not known, though
their former attitude was along this line.
The text of the report has been fore
casted in The Journal. 1t lays down rig
id rules for government of Democratic
caucuses in the future and is particularly
severe, though dignified in tone in its
criticism of the Is boilers.

Abductors Take Preliminary
Steps to Return Stolen Boy
When Millionaire Father
Pays $4,000 Reward.
FRENZIED FATHER
WILL NOT PROSECUTE
MEN WHO STOLE CHILD
Agreement to Surrender Lad at Ash
tabula Was Only Test of Whitla's
Sincerity, and Kidnapers Are Now
Satisfied of Receiving Ransom.
(sy Associated Press.l

SHARON, Pa, March ZZ.-Connlcllns
statements issued by detectives and Mr..
whitla have greatly confused newspaper
men at work on the kidnapping case this
afternoon.
According to the detectives, fourth
letter has been received from the abduct-
ors and their capture, they allege, is only
a matter Of a few hours. Although this
statement from detectives was made i'm
mediately following a conference with Mr.
Whitla, and while the officers were still
In Mr.. Whitla's Office, the missing lads
father the next instant called the news
paper men into his private office and told
them he had discharged all the detectives
and in the future he did not desire or
want the services of the police.
When the detectives and Mr. Whitla
were told of the statements made by each
other, apparently all were surprised.
Letter from Cleveland
Detective Perkins, of Pittsburg, is re-
sponsible for the assertion that a fourth
letter has been received by Mr.. Whitla
from his boys captors. The letter, he
saws. is postmarked Cleveland, o. He
further said a detective had been sent to
Cleveland.
In his statement Mr.. Whitla says there
is absolutely no new developments in the
case All he wants, he says, is to get into
communication with the abductors, and
he has discharged all the police and de-
tectives in his employ.
Mr.. Whitla also conveys the information
that he has offered no reward, nor does
he intend to do so. All that he wants, he
says, is the boy and he is willing to deal
with the kidnapers and pay the $4,000.
AbductOrs Ready
It is admitted today that the abductors
have taken preliminary steps to give the
bow back for the ransom of $4,000. The
affair at Ashtabula, Ohio Saturday night
and early Sunday morning is believed TO
have been directed by the kidnapers for
the only reason of discovering whether
Mr.. Whitla was sincere in his intention
TO pay the money 1t is the general opin-
ion now that the abductors had no
thought of surrendering the lad at Ash
tabula, but were endeavoring to satisfy
themselves that Mr.. Whitla would secret
ly pay the money for the return of his
boy.
1t is also believed the kidnapers will
communicate with Mr. Whitla in the
near future for the purpose of getting
the 900. The attitude of Mr.. Whila
in secretly depositing the ransom at Ash
tabula is an evidence that all he wants
is the child and that the abductors need
not fear prosecution from him.
Today rumors of every description are
in circulation. In fact reports are so
numerous and are coming from such a
wide territory that it is difficult to obtain
any definite idea of what developments
are new in the case.
The abductors are said to be in the
vicinity of Warren, Ohio; Cleveland,

WASHINGTON, d. G, March 22.-New
and interesting developments, which shed
considerable light on the rules row in
the house of representatives last Monday,
when 3 Democrats Joined with the ma
chine Republicans in perpetuating the
despotic rule of Speaker Cannon, cropped
out today.
Representative Livingston, dean of the
Georgia delegation and one of the six
who bottled, is said to have been unduly
friendly with the autocratic speaker at
the crucial time. when the regular Dem
ocrats were making a bold fight against
Cannon and Cannonism.

New York Democrats who did not bolt.

was also away from his desk.

did not hear all the conversation. I did
hear him say distinctly, however, that he
had got another vote for the Fitzgerald
proposition.
Il was shocked, but got busy right
away TO find out to whom he referred.
Representative Willett has mentioned
the incident to many DEMOCRATS, and it
has been the subject of much comment.

Colonel Livingston denies the truthful

sure would sound the signal for a

Last year it was that YamamotS

NOT OWE TAXES.

There have been several references
recently in local paper to the effect
that the Bismarck Waterworks COM
pany owes BCrleigh county $1,000.
This company went out of existence
twelve years ago, owing the above
mentioned tax. Judge Amidon of the
U. 8. district court, restrained the
collection Of the tax at the time the
company was closed out and the wat

bidder. According to the statement
of County Treasurer Kositsky, the
present company, the Bismarck Water
Supply Co., owes no delinquent tax
and it's bills cannot be held up to
pay the taxes of a company whom it
succeeded by purchase under decree
of a court foreclosure proceedings.
