chtld's abductor took her first to a
lumber yard and later into the
woods, where they remained
through the bitter cold night. :
. The finding of a part Of the
child's underwear in box car near
the lumber yard on Sunday indicat-
ed the nature Of the crime and 100
men took up the search.
Constable Albert D. Randall cap
tured the man after a struggle, in
which the. fellow tried to stab the
officer With a butcher knife. The
little girl was with. him. The pris-
oner gave his name rs Harry
B-oWp, but Was identified as Will
liam. Jones, who was released a few
months ago from the State Indus
trial school, at Rochester, having
been sent there from Painted Post
as an incorrigible, Following burg
larry Jones says he<is t6 years old,
but looks. at least 20.
Little Irene was examined by
physicians, who say the child was
mistreated, but is probably not per-
manentIy injured, She has not yet
recovered from the shock and ex-
posture, .'<... >~~.
Jones was arraigned before .Tus-
tee Masters VOWED examination
was. held for the grand jury on the
charge of kidnapping. He WAS re-

SO much for what the Race Prob
leas is NOT. Let me; without further

ton 81, 1T true or false, is the white

(ferioE; not human in the sense that
ne is,G HUMAN not entitled to the ex-
iercisee Of human, rights, in the sense
that lie. is entitled. to the exercise OF
them: The problem itself, the esz
se1lce OF IT,. the heart of it, is the
white mans determination. to make
good this conviction, coupled with
constant anxiety lest, by some means
ne should fail to make it good. The
race problem, in other words, Is not
that the Negro Is what he is in rela-
ton to the white man, the white
mans inferior; but this rather,
How to keep him what he is in reia-
tfSn TO, the white man how, to, pre-

part, or on the part Of other people;
thatEhe and the white man stand on
common human ground. <yI.
That such Isl the heart 7 of the
lDroblefri, should be made evident by
this general consideration alone;
namely, that everywhere in the
South friction between the. races IL
entirely absent SO long as the Negro
justifies the white mans opinion OF
him as an inferior; is grateful for
privileges and lays no claims to

MARKET REPORT
Grain and Provisions.

Chicago, Feb. 13--The highest price
paid for the May delivery Of wheat in
nearly four years failed to bring out
any great amount of buying or selling
Of that option today. The congesteG
condition of the market is holding
many traders in check May opened
bc to &c lower at SLIPS to $1.12H.
Before the end Of the first hal fhour,
however, the demand had carried the
price up to s1.131s. From this point
there was some setback on selling in
duced by the official report showing
the amount of wheat exported during
January from the United States, the
figures showing falling off Of more
