PENALTY ON KIDNAPERs

Chicago. March 26.-That death for
kidnapers who steal children and hold
them for ransom will be the punish
ment dealt out, no matter in which part
mitted, appears likely as a result OF
the wave Of horror that has swept over
the country because Of the kidnapping
Of little Willie Whitla at Sharon. Pa,
n the successful extortion Of the ran
som Of $40, 900 from his father.
Already several states, among them
Illinois, have laws providing for the
execution OF child stealers. All over
the country steps are being taken to-
day in various state legislatures and
in the national congress- for the passage
Of laws so drastic that kidnapers will
think twice before practicing his form
Of extortion, which is most repellant to
American sentiment.
