tired tenement dwellers who had de-
cided to try for a little sleep last night

better understanding came to them
when two flashes and the bark of re-
volver shots punctuated the silence. 1t
WAS a duel.
An exciting man hunt followed IN

KIDNAPPED BOYS
FATHER SPURNS
HELP OF POLICE
Doctor Works Alone and ExD
poets to Find Son and
His AbduCt0rs.

NEW YORK, June 23.-An air of ex-
pectancy pervaded the home of Dr.
Mariana Scimeca today and there was
every indication that the anxious father
and mother anticipated welcome devel-
opments in the search for their 3-year-
old son Michael, the sensational kid
mapping of whom on Tuesday was fol-
lowed yesterday by a reported demand
from the childs abductors of $4,000 as
a ransom.
DIR. Scimeca refused to make public
all the contents of the kidnappers COM
munication and declined to let the po-
lice try to trace the writer's.
II can do better by working alone"
he said, and l expect to get my boy
back today"
It was believed from the attitude of
the, family today that line of COM
municntion with the abductors of the
boy had been established and that as
surances had been received of the lads
safety.
DIR. Scimeca has expressed a willing
ness to give up any amount of his pos
sessions to secure the return of the lad,
but there seemed reason today for be-
lieving that no such amount as $4,000
would have to be handed over for the
return of the little fellow.

REAL REASON FOR
HIGH PRICES IS
SOLVED At LAST
Senate Republicans Report, but
Fail to Suggest Remedy
to Suffering People.

WASHINGTON, June 23.-Republi-
cans and Democrats do not agree as
to the causes for the great increase in
the cost of living between 1900 and
1910.
The majority report of the, special
Senate committee which has investi-
gated these questions was submitted
to the Senate today by Senator Lodge,
chairman of the committee. A meet
ing was held prior to the presentation
of the report. and the minority mem
bers of the committee protested against
the character of the findings. After a
long argument. the minority was au-
thorfzed to employ an expert to go
over the report of the majority and
prepare the minority views for sub
mission to the Senate.
The report made by Senator Lodge
was an exhaustive one, compiled from
testimony given by forty-one witnesses,
reports received from consuls and from
foreign governments.
The majority of the committee found
that of the many causes contributing
to the advance in prices the following
were most marked:
Increased cost of production of farm
ny itdSOII VI ih6uel
values and higher wages.
Increased demand for farm products
and food.
Shifting of population from food pro-
ducing to food consuming occupations
and localities.
Reduced fertility of land resulting in
lower average production or in in
creased expenditures for fertilization.
Increased banking facilities in agri-
cultural localities, which enabled farm
ers to hold their crops and market them
to the best advantage. 1t was found
that this not only steadied prices, but
had a tendency to increase them.
Cold storage plants which result in
preventing extreme fluctuations of
prices of certain commodities with the
seasons, but by enabling the whole
salers to buy and sell at the best pos
sible advantage, tend to advance prices.
Increased cost of distribution.
Increased money supply.
er-capitalization.
Higher standard Of living.
1t Is shown that the greatest ad-
vances have taken place in the prod
ucts of the SOIL The committee criti-
cised the use of forests by saying that
there had been large consumption
without any particular attempt to re-
place the timber.

WASHINGTON, June 23.-Ruunors of
a probable delay in the adjournment.
of Congress were aaoat about the
White House today. Several reasons
were advanced for this but an air Of
mystery seemed to envelop the whole
subject. 1t was reported that the bill
recommended by the President grant
ing appeals to the District of Columbia
Court of Appeals from decisions by the
secretary of the interior in land claim
cases was one of the causes of frictioG.
It also was reported that the bill for
an increase in the engineer corps and
for the widening Of the scope of the
army engineers work was another
cause for probable delay
The attempt to exempt labor or
ganizations from the operation of the

an amendment, is deadlocking the con-
ference between House and Senate on

houses throughout the street and asked
their respective heads to sign a petit

frayed. Mr.. Masker, of the Masker
Quitting Company, at 231-233 Market
street, was visited, and, although he
would not sign the petition, stated that
he was willing to pay his proportion OF
the expense providing the lights were
satisfactory.
The lights were started on July a.
1909. At the end of the first quarter,
October IA, 1909. bill was presented
to Mr.. Masker at the rate Of $3.50 per
foot for thirty-six foot front on the

testify at the trial. All voiced the
same opinion in regards to Mr.. Mas
ker's agreement to pay his share. The
association was represented by Attor-
ney Frederick Jay and Mr.. Masker
was defended by former Assistant

adverse action on the part of gov

it's friend, and from much observa-

I feel sure that a fair chance will be
given to solve the difficulty of the
present American game. 1t seems to
me that the right thing now is for
everybody to give the matter full and
careful consideration, without preju-
dice, so far as that is possible, so that
the question may be considered in all
it's fundamental bearings and the so
