been any serious wrecks to tie up
traffic. Superintendent A. III. Egan
and Assistant Superintendent L. f.

for several days, left this morning
for Princeton.

After a long search they abandoned hope
Of ever seeing the child again.
Mrs. Getilo had her attention attracted
last night 70 child standing at the gate
in front of the house and crying. The
mother was overjoyed to find the little one

was clad III a fur coat and hat and new
dress and shoes. The child was not able to
formation obtained from her was that she
had been taken away and brought home by
a man.
Although her father says no demands
were made him for money, it Is. fe-
lieved the little girl was kidnapped for the
purpose Of extortng large sum of money
from the father and that when all effort to
collect this ransom failed the child was
returned to her home
Both the police and the parents of the
girl are reticent regarding the reappear-

Celtic child was returned in manner
similar 70 the way in which children kid
mapped in greater New York were restored
to their parents leads To the belief that it
was the work Of the same organized band.

The Governor.elect appeared to good ad-
vantage here. He has warm clasp of
the hand and an impressive way of con-
centrating on each man who comes be-

Roosevelt. After the reception he went
on to the dinner of the Genesee Society
at the Plaza Hotel, and after making
speech there returned to the Astor to
speak at the Merchants Association.
His speech opened with a brief review
of the growth OF a currency in this coun-
try from the wampum of the Indian to
the medium of exchange of the present
day. and observed that it was evident
that it was no new thing TO reform the
currency, while with all the currency
changes credit was now the basis Of
business in this country and of our ex-
changes with the nations of the world.

Albert H Harris. vice-president OF th'

OF honor at the annual dinner OF the So
ciety of the Genesee last night, in the
Hotel Plaza. Consequently, the New Yorl
Central officials turned out nasse, ant

on the suburban stations of the line, whiIe
an announcer. clad in the uniform of the
company. announced the various courses
and wound up with the declaration that
the latest train was indefinitely postponed
owing to an Injunction obtained by DE
Lancey Nicoll.
As was eminently fitting. John A Dix
Governor having been chosen as a
candidate IL the capital Of the Genesee
Valley. called on the diners and paid his
respects to the guest of the evening and to
the district represented, while the SOU
venirs consisted of plate bearing a pic

the nursery rhymes had it. Sam Patch
sailed in his little boat

OF Rochester and student at the university
in the Genesee Valley and later at Column

public safety of the Civic Federation, was
elected TO take care of the Society of the
GeneSee as president during the next year.
Throughout the evening the Hoyt sisters
sang and recited several selections describ-
ing the various phases of the development
of the Genessee Valley. from the Indian days
over hundred years ago to the days
when the people of that section come to
New York 10 witness such performances as
Romeo and Juliet
Warm tributes were paid to the guests of
the evening by the various speakers iu-
c1uding Captain Robert z. Peary, who de-
scribed himself as 'the entire white popu-
lation Of the North Pole" while the Rev
Mr.. Rufus T. Johnston, true to his cloth.
divided his remarks into three parts, and
asked: Why did we come to New York :?
Why don't We go back to the Valley of
the Genesee? And why do we grow senti-
mental over the memories OF the old home
in the country?'
Governor Dix. who was greeted with fha
Chautauaua salute, recalled his long ac-
qualntdnce with the guest of the evening
and dwelt on the fond memories he pre-
served Of the GeneSee Valley He recalled
that few years ago. when the title to the
land on which Rochester is built was being
searched in Boston, some of the documents
were found wanting, and were lately dis
covered in Fennsylva MIA. He questioned
whether the name Genesee had not come
from the fact that the book Of Genesis had
been written there, but whether this were
true or not ne was sure that the people

While Mr.. Murphy was talking with Mr.
DIX Mayor Gaynor was on his way to Sc.
the Governor-eleet He went first to the
Waldorf. where 1t had been announced IN
some of the papers that Mr.. Dix would
stay. Not finding him there. the Mayor
strolled slowly UP Fifth avenue and Went
into the Hotel Manhattan by the x3d street

He sent word to Mr. Dix that he would

Mayor May Make Statement.
It is understood that the Mayor talked
over the Senatorship situation with the
Governor-elect. but II was said for the
latter that the Mayor had just called TO
pay his respects. That did not prevent
them. however. from going over the vari-
GUS candidates. The Mayor has al-~1dy ex-
pressed his preference for Edward NJ.
Shepard. 1t is possible that he may make
some further public statement regarding
venes.
Mr. Dix said that quite nUmb4 OF
candidates for the United States Senate
had called upon him In regard to their
candidacy He did not care to mention any
names, however, nor would be say that
Justice Gerard was among the number.
He said he was not inclined 10 go back on
his stand that the selection Of United

He did not care to discuss the appoint
Inents that he had TO make, Mr. Dix said,
but he laughed heartily at the story that
he was going TO appoint Winfield A. Hup-
puch, chairman of the state committee, as
Superintendent of Banks. In the first
place, the term Of Superintendent Cheney,
the present incumbent. does not run out
for a long time.
And said Mr. Dix. lit is bad enough
TO have one of the heads of our business

the Governor-elect and the chairman of the
state committee are interested together)
entirely out of the game. Mr.. Huppuch
has got to stand by the business, and for
that reason is not a candidate for any

mass of material for his message to the
Legislature. but had not started TO write

This was sentiment that was received
with prolonged applause by the many

they interpreted his declaration that
corporations have become an important
and permanent factor in our industrial

may have received criticism either just
or unjust, it must be remembered that
the human element must always be in

.AT REPUBLICAN LOVE FEAST
Calder and Woodruff Speak of
Buried Hatchets in Brooklyn.

/ There was 4. demonstration of harmony
in BROOKLYN last night, when Republicans
| Of all shades of belief gathered at Raub's,
Nevins street and FlsthuSh avenue. at q
dinner in homer of Congressman William
N. Calder of the sth District. the only Re-
publican elected to Congress from Brooklyn
/ this year Mr.. Calder is one OF the fore
most Roosevelt men of the borough. but
he and Timothy L. Woodruff divided the
centre of the table between them. There
was also sprinkling of Democrats among
! the seven hundred diners.
John G Rafferty,, the POSTMASTER, said
that the dinner was an unusual affair. To
| s1Ibstantiate his remark he pointed to Con-
sressmen Charles b. Law, Richard Young
and Otto G. Foeker. ar Republicans. who
were elected with Mr.. Calder two years
ago
After declaring that he much sur
prised, Mr.. Calder said he was anxious to
find how the Democrats intended to change
the tariff He favored protective tariff,
with changes only when they were de-
clared expedient by the Tariff Revision
Board. He said that he did not believe a
certain ex-officeholder. who had fought for
his country in d fever-stricken region and
who had an international reputation as a
peacemaker, was a menace TO the country,
and he did not think that the great mass of
the people thought SO, either, down deep in
their hearts.
Mr. Woodruff spoke on last Tuesday s
"unification'' of the party in Kings County
and declared that he believed the organi-
zation had forgotten the differences of last
summer. and was going to elect more than
one Republican Congressman two years
hence. Controller William A Prendergast
