This was signed Herman shultoise, g
and had been mailed in this city yester-
day. It was the first indication the boys
parents had that he might have been

run away or been lost.
The police, who had been searching for
him as lost boy. were at once notified
and the search came on 10 this city.
The police here believe the boy is held
by kidnappers, and they are making a
careful search.
The boys mother came here this even
ing to aid the police, while the father
remains at home, eagerly looking for

EDISON IECENSED BY ATTACK
Action Of Oldest Inhabitants Asso-
citation Resented.
Criticism OF Associated Charities
and Fairgrounds Association
Calls Forth an Explanation.

Incensed by the attack against the
Associated Charities and the Washington
Playground Association by John B. Nc
Carthy. at a meeting OF the Oldest In
habitants' Association, Wednesday night.
John Joy Edscn, treasurer Of the Asso-
elated Charities, yesterday declared that
Mr. Mccarthy was misinformed when he
made such statements.
4 have been treasurer for fourteen
years" said Mr.. Edison, "and I am one
Of the several workers who are not sal
aried men. and my testimony ought to
be worth something when 1 say that
have never known any charitable insti-
tuition that does more for the poor than
the Associated Charities"
Mr. Edison told in brief Of work done
by the Associated Charities. which paid
out Si.SO9.42 last year for food and cloth
ing. and declared that there was no foun-
dation in Mr. McCarthys charges that
it mad spent nearly all its money in
salaries and advertising.
Mr.. Mccarthy was evidently much
misinformed about the work of the
Washington Playground Association. -
Mr. Edison asserted, "and his denunci-
alton OF that body was unWaranted.
Many members OF the Charities have
given .tine and labor without receiving
any pay" Mr.. Edison said.
Another active member OF the Charities
expressed himself bitterly against Mr.
McCarthy's attack. saying that il was en-
tirely unwarranted and based upon mis-
information.

SAN DIEGO WANTS FAIR.
Has Representatives Here working
to Secure Congressional Action.


D. c. Collier and others from San
Diego, Cal. are in Washington seeking
to obtain recognition from Congress for
a proposed exposition in that city To
celebrate the opening Of the Panama
Canal
Mr.. Collier said last night that the
business men of his city had subscribed
100000 10 the project. that the city
government had bonded the town for
100000. and that the surrounding coun-
ties had pledged $4,000 in the event that
the fair should be brought to San Diego.
Mr.. Collier said that San Diego has
population of $1,000 people. every one OF
whom is alive TO the advantages Of this
exposition. He and his associates want
Congress to authorize the invitation of
foreign countries to the exposition and to
grant such rights as are usually given TO
cities getting Up worlds fairs.
Mr.. Collier talked about San Diego last
night as one Of the fairest spots be-
meath the sun. He said the exposition
would be open for a year, and always
under summer skies. San Diego Is the
nearest American city TO the Pacific end
Of the canal. II is the entrepot Of Mag
dalena Bay. and in future years must be-
come an important coaling port and ac-
cessory TO the Panama Canal He be-
isves that the celebration should come
to his city. and he and his associates are
working with might and main to bring II

means that the children win have the
needed opportunity to become Instructed
in everything for the country's good: if
it means the betterment in civic affairs
then it is a good and worthy movement.
Otherwise it is bad.
I believe that restrictions should be
placed on mems rights to suffrage. The
illiterate, the criminal, those engaged in
nefarious business, those men who sell
their goods under false ads-they should
be deprived of votes, and the effect upon
the country would be salutary in a
marked degree"
At the conclusion Of DR. Wiley's ad-
dress he was greeted with prolonged ap-
plause. That some of his statements
did not meet with the approval Of some
was evidenced by the remarks Of the
president, Mrs. Converse In referring TO
DR.. Wiley's remarks about women wage
earners depriving men of jobs, she said:
Would SuppIant Men.
IF the men viii stay at home and do
the cooking and the sweeping. and the
