detective had Mrs. Bresnahan's address,
and he Immediately W red her an this
cILy, carefully worulng the mlssive SO
as to not arouse too strong hopes In
the mothers longing heart. Then he
turned to the San Antonio police for aid.
The search of the city was shore and
successful. Roy DAVIS was found win,
his father, now an old man, bent and
worn with the years. stopping at lit
tie hotel. DAVIS was told his mother
had been hunting for him for years.
Mother" he whispered, and for
moment appeared dazed. Then he turned
to his father.
You told me my mother was dead"
he said, that she died when 1 was lit
tie fellow and my sister baby"
The old man could not face the son
he had wronged, but he mumbled con-
fession, telling how he had stolen both
children to revenge himself on the wom-
an who had divorced HIM. Davis took
a photograph of his mother from box
his father carried, and the little dress
his sister had worn when the children
wese stolen.
The young man took the first train
for this city, where his mother met him
at the depot. The sister died several
years ago in Colorado, at the home Of
friends of her father, who had raised
her. Davis bears a strong resemblance
to his mother.

$3.50, 900 VOTED TO
GATHER TARIFF FACTS

WASHINGTON, May 25.-By strict
party vote of 10 to SO the Tawney
amendment appropriating $25O,0o0 to
enable the president to obtain tariff facts
was adopted yesterday. Just previous
to this action the house by "a to log re-
jected the Fitzgerald amendment reduc-
ing this amount to $4,000.
Two provisions to accomplish this gen
eral purpose had been ruled out of order
by Mr.. Mann, Of Illinois, in the chair.
Representative Underwood, Of Ala
bama, characterized the provision for a
tariff board as a mere matter Of bun
combe, tainted the Republicans with
using this device to delay further con-
sideratlon of the rayne-Aldrich bill at
tI4s time, and dared them to bring in an
amendment reducing the wooden sched-
ules acknowledged by President Taft to
be unjust.

Omaha, Neb., April 23.-The haunting

woman, who, years before, had pleaded
with him TO find her stolen babies, inn
pressed indelibly on the mind of a de-
tective from Ottumwa, Ia, has resulted
I'm the reuniting OF Mrs. Patrick Bresna-

Wis, after a separation Of p years. Davis
is now staying with his mother here, and
both say they will never be parted again,
until death intervenes.
Twenty-Five years ago Davis and his
baby sister were stolen from his young
mother. then Mrs. Davis, at Ottumwa,

the father of the children. During the
years which have interviewed, Mrs. Davis

With sufficient means to prosecute the
search, the mother visited every race
track in the country, as Davis, her first
husband, followed the races, but did not
find a clew. Weary from the long travels

him, and then realization came and. with
it, the end of a 22-year search. The Off

SPEAK IN ATLANTA

Clifford Pihchot. formerly chief forester
and close friend of Theodore Roosevelt,
will speak in Atlanta some time this
summer on the organization of a state
conservation association in Georgia.
E. L. Worsham, state entomologist, has

movement has been taken up by the
chamber of commerce.
A conservation committee will be APP
pointed by the chamber of commerce, and
steps will be taken towards the organiza-
