Cleveland, March 19.-That Willie

torney James P. Whitla of Sharon,
Pa, would be restored to the hands
of friends within a few hours, was
the statement made by the Cleve-
land police late tonight, after they
had placed under arrest a man whom
they claimed answered the descrip-
ton of the kidnapper.
Upon an alleged statement made
by this man, the detectives in an
automobile, hurriedly departed for
the eastern section of the city, where
the boy is said to have been seques-
tered.
A definite clue tothe whereabouts
of the lad was obtained here today
when George Dougherty, clerk of the
Euclid hotel, recognized in the pub

New Haven, Conn.,, March 19.--
AS a fellow of Yale corporation Pres
ident Taft came to his alma mater
today, and for nearly three hours
sat with the board to act upon uni
versity matters. When he left the
meeting with. President Hadley of
the university, and satrted to leave
Woodbridge hall to go to luncheon.
he found himself the objective OF
many hundred Yale graduates whose
sharp cheer was followed by the de-
mand for a speech. The president
made a brief response, and told the
students how dear to his heart was
his Yale afiliation, and the honor OF
being a fellow was too great for him
to voluntarily relinquish. The stu
dent body greeted the speech with
the "Brek Ike Ike kex, co ak, co ak, -
which woke the echoes of the new
campus.
Taft left for New York on the af-
ternoon train.

Washington, D. c., March 19.-For
four and a half hours the house OF
representatives today listened to the
reading of the tariff bill, which was
concluded. 1t was the only business
transacted.
It was perhaps the dreariest execu-
tive session Of any held by that body
in recent years. Some of the mem
bers early in the reading room took
to the cloak rooms and lobby back Of
the speakers chair, while others left
the building for the day.
Mr.. Sims of Tennessee elected a
breath of life into the proceedings.
He wanted the reading of the bill dis
pensed with as a fact. But objection
was made. Then he asked unanimous
consent that the bill be put on its
passage, saying it was evident no op-
position woY1d be afforded to amend
the measure in the house. To this
suggestion, however, Mr.. Mann of H.
linois, objected. The house adjourned
until Monday noon.

Paris, March 19.-Premier Clemen-

After an hour Of oratory, Minister
of Public Works Barthou mounted the
tribune and in a ienified speech he
painted the gravity Of the situation
and the possibility of the government
yielding to the employees who had re-
volted. The minister said the gov

the grievances OF the employees as

the commencement Of demonstrative
anarchy. Nevertheless he indicated
that it was the governments desire

ployes to return to duty.

President Taft was greeted tonight
as the first Yale president of the
United States by more Tran 1,500

all over the country. They ranged
from silvery haired old gentlemen
whose degrees bear the date of '5s,
down to the youths who left their
alma mater only last June.
The dinner, one of the largest ever
given. In New York, was served at

on hides. ..
The Louisiana delegation met to

oil was made to prevent the impor-
tation of Mexican oil free of duty If

There has been very little critic

equal to the duty on pig iron as pro-
vided In the Dinglex law. in the
Payne bill, scrap iron is covered by
9 duty Of fifty cents per ton while the
duty on pig iron Is $3.50 per. ton. In
speaking Of this schedule, member
Of the house today declared that, its
effect would be to reduce the importa-
tion OF pig iron to practically nothing

secured Ia foreign countries would be

NERVE TIMING

A strange instance OF the care and
minuteness with which the human body
Is now studied, in the effort to eunder-
stand Its powers and functions better.
Is furnished by paper read recently at
a meeting of the Royal society in Lon
don on the "Rapidity of the Nervous
Impulse in Tall and Short Individuals"
Even the difference in time required for
NERVE telegram" to traverse the
bodies of different persons Is regarded
as a matter of scientific Importance.
A series of observations has shown
that the length of the nerve does not
affect the velocity with which an i'm
pulse passes between the brain and the
extremities, and consequently that
more time Is needed If the path Is long
than IL 1t is short 1t follows that u
short man should feel step on his
corns quicker than tall man; but the
difference is so slight that the offender
has no better chance of escape in one
case than in the other.
