KIDNAPPING SUSPECT SEIZED BY MAIN STREET MERCHANT
 WITH HIS SUPPOSED VICTIM
ABOUT TO RIDE OFF ON BICYCLE WITH SEVEN
 YEAR-OLD GIRL WHEN CAPTURED
Prisoner Claims to Be Laborer and to Know the Little GrLShe Refutes His Statement and Police Ask
 that Serious Charge Be Made Against Him

What the police regard as an at tempt to kidnap a pretty seven-year- old girl from within stones throw of Main street and Fairfield avenue at S:30 this morning was thwarted through the timely interference of Former Park Commissioner Max ittstein, in front of whose jewelry store the supposed kidnapping att tempt took place.
 The culprit was seized by the mer- chant, held for the arrival of the police and after a session with Detec- tive Captain Arnold. was ordered locked up and held for further in vestigation.

She is the daughter of Harry Clark, an employe~ of the Locomobile Co.,, of 1136 Main street, over the English Woolen Mills store
 Wittstein stood near his front door at S:30 today when he noticed the man leaning against his wheel, which stood at the curb. He was eating pear and talking with little Gertrude, to whom he gave another pear. Wittstein recognized the child as fa- miliar in the neighborhood, for her winning manner has made her pop ular favorte among the merchants near by though she had lived in the vicinity only a short time.
 WittStein was convinced that the mans kindness to the girl was not actuated by any good purpose, and he resolved to await further develop ments The two conversed together for several minutes, then the man drew out purse, fumbled about for a coin and extended his hand to the girl. wittstein thought she took the coin. Still they fingered on the curb ing a sharp lookout for further de- furtively, then took the little girl gently up in his arms and placed her :1pon the cross bar of his bicycle. Then he started to mount the wheel, supporting her the while.
 Wittstein shouted out at the top of his voice and rushing to the curb seized the man firmly. The girl took .Iarm and cried out, and Patrolman walker, who stood at the corner of .Fairfleld avenue and Main street, a

ALL FREIGHT
 TIED UP ON
 GRAND TRUNK Passenger Trains Are Run ming, Although Not on
 Schedule Time Wabash Train No. 2 Arrives In Charge of Conductor
 85 Years Old
(special from United Press.)


 Portland. Me. July 2O-After 36 hours of industrial war not a freight train up to today has stirred over any of the Grand Trunk or Central Vermont lines in New England, the railroads
 abandoning all attempts to handle freight for the present and devoting
 their entire efforts to maintaining their passenger schedules. This has been successfully done to a large extent, although in some in
 ming considerably behind time and in a few isolated cases trains were aban- doned.
 The stalling of the freight trains has
 not caused any serious inconvenience
 as yet. but a continuance of present mill owners and manufacturers who depend upon the system for hauling
 their coal and other supplies consider able worry.
 Many of the New England mills have only enough coal to keep their
 machinery moving for a few days or a week at the outside, and by that time if freight trains are not again in operation, must resort to wood or close
 down entirely.
 The only portion of the Grand Trunk system in New England where passen- ger trains were not in operation yes | terday was the line north from Pal mer One train pulled into Palmer
 during the day. That was from New London. Conn.,, manned by two detec- l tives from the railroad docks in New London and went only as far as Pal mer There the cars were left and the engine returned to New London | light
 The stations all along the line of the Grand Trunk and Central Vermont, particularly at the functions and ter minal points. are being closely guard 1 ed by deputies and officers, many of
 whom have. been taken from the ranks of the employees. lest there be an out | break of any kind

STRIKE BREAKER FARLEY
 ON DECK FOR ACTION

New London, July 20-"Strike Break CT" Frank Farley is helping the Grand Trunk and the Central Vermont to break the strike of the conductors and trainmen on the northern divisions of the roads, according to advices receiv- ed at the strikers local headquarters. The men intimate that Farley's pres ence in the trouble will only inspire them to greater sacrifices on account of his past record against organized labor.
 The Central Vermont officials bent all their efforts today toward moving Brattleboro, Vt. The trains were very lightly patronized. One hundred strik- CTS from New York arrived here today and will be put on the passenger ser vice. The roads will make no effort to resume freight traffic until the pas senger traffic is built up

Pope Presides at Noted
 Memorial Service for Leo

Rome, July 20.-Pope Plus. with all the cardinals at present in Rome, pre- sided today at the memorial services for the late Pope Loe in the Sistine Chapel The impressive ceremony was attended by most of the diplo- mats accredited to Rome, together with a large number of nobility and Catholic pilgrims from all over the world.
 At a subsequent meeting the Pope and cardinals decided to postpone in- definitely the removal of Pope Leo's body from St. Peters, where it now lies, to St. Johns, because the present anti-clerical excitement in Rome is so high as to threaten disorders during the removal. No time has yet been set for the ceremony.

trouble is We have all along been
mistaking the things that make
beasts Of them for things that de-
velop manhood. We have been, un-
consciously, perhaps, but ueverthe-
less truly. banking on the Innate de
pravity OF the male human. We see
IN the mems movements Of the
churches OF recent years hope for the
boys When men, who have been
boys themselves, take hold OF these
matters We shall soon cease trying
TO make goody-coodies out OF the
youngsters, and set to work to make
men Of them.
As Il is. the worlds double standard
shows more charity, than the truly
good. though il is pretty tough on
the girl. who doesn't get the proper
ohaperonage and strays into forbid
den by-ways. II the girls are held to
more strict accountability, remember
they also are given commensurate
protection. In justice TO the bad
boy, let us take the judgment for
his sins on ourselves; for he did not
know the evil and its consequences,
and We did. Yet, that won't suffice
We must remedy the fault. The
double standard won't work. Statis-
tics show that we have something
worse than tuberculosis to deal with.
This isn't nice subject, We know;
but one-third the congenital blind
ness of our country is directly trace
able to the excesses of one of the
parents, and a large per cent Of male
population of the country Is more or
less diseased. Sowing wild oats may
be amusing to those, who think boys
will be boys: but who is going to
reap that harvest?
Locking the front door and leav-
ing the back door open, won't protect
your home; sewering one-half the
town and leaving the other half un-
severed, won't avert a pestilence;
and protecting the girls and letting
the boys SOW their Wild oats won't
even protect the girls. We are just
as much interested In the children
of our neighbors as we are in our
own, after all, and We can neither
lower the standard of the girls to an
equality with the boys, nor demand
a higher standard OF the boys, with
out adequate provisions for their
protection.

As We announced IN the beginning
that we would not take a hand az

identical with our view and senti-

which relates TO mistakes in selecting
the candidates, or to unfair and dis
