TAKEN BY HIS UNCLES
A GREAT SENSATION CREATED
IN LOS VEGAS, N. ".
Twelve Thousand Dollars is. Paid for
the Return of the Lad Who Was
Kidnapped.

Kidnapped.
There is a great sensation on at
Los Vegas, N. M. Implicated by the
confession of Joe Virgins, former
life convict, Will and John Rogers,
uncles of little Waldo Rogers, were
arrested for completely in the lads
abduction. For his return $4,000
ransom was paid, Will Rogers acting
as agent for Mrs. Rogers.
The disclosures have aroused the
city to, degree Of excitement that
the authorities fear may result in a
demonstration against the prisoners.
The accused are in the county jail
which is guarded by large force of
deputies.
The arrest of Virgins came late
Tuesday. His confession, which for
lowed, gave new and sensational
turn to the mystery, which for more
than ten days has surrounded the
kidnapping of liEtle Waldo Rogers,
son of Mr.. and Mrs. A. T. Rogers,
and his safe return upon the pay
ment of $4,000 ransom.
According to the story told by
Virgins, he first became acquainted
with Jim Rogers through the law firm
by which the latter was employed aud
which was instrumental in getting
Virgins pardoned from the peniten-
tiary. Virgins says that while Wo1 X
in in the coal mines at Madrid, N.
NJ, he received a letter from John
Rogers, suggesting scheme for max
ing $4,000 "easy money"
Virgins says he came to Los Vegas
in a few days and later entered into
the plot. Waldo Rogers, the two
year-old son Of Mr.. and Mrs. A. T.
Rogers, and the grandson of H. L.
Waldo, Kansas City millionaire,
was kidnapped from the family les
idence on the night of March 20.
Taking advantage of the absence
from the city Of the boys father two
masked men went to the Rogers
home shortly before midnight and at
the point of revolver compelled
Mrs. Rogers to dress the child for a
night ride and deliver him to them.
They repeatedly assured her that
the child WOULD not be harmed and
that he would be returned safely pro-
vided the police were not informed
and $4,000 in small bills was paid
to their representatives.
They named lonely spot II miles
north of Los Vegas as the place where
the money was to be delivered by
Mrs. Rogers representative, who was
to come to the rendezvous alone the
following day.
Mrs. Rogers secured $4,000 the
following morning and delivered 1t to
Will Rogers to carry to the place OF
meeting.
Rogers retained Thursday night
with the child, who was we'll and un-
harmed. sHe told Mrs. Rogers and
later the authorities that he had met
at the appointed place a man who, al
ter receiving and counting the mon
ey, directed him to canyon Is miles
south of the place of meeting, where
he found the boy lying IN an arroyo,
wrapped in a blanket.
A reward Of $4,000 was offered
for the capture and conviction of the
kidnappers aad the vicinity was
ablaze with Indignation.

ELKDOM PLANNING
) TO REPEAT FEAST
OF CLAM CHOWDER
Success of Initial Affair Ex-
ceeded All Expecta-
tionS.

So successful was the clam-bake held
by the Washington Lodge of Elks at
Chesapeake Beach yesterday, that an
other bake is being contemplated, and
the next time, instead of 300 people
attending, accommodate tions for 1000 will
be made.
The time has not yet been set for the
other feast, but it is probable that 1t
will be held in about a month. This
time the wives, sisters. and sweet
hearts. of Elks will be invited. The bake
yesterday was for the members alone.
1t was so successful and so thoroughly
enjoyed by those who attended, that
every one present yesterday urges that
another be held some time in the near
future. 1t will be held at Chesapeake
Beach or at Annapolis.
Three hundred Elks attended the bake
yesterday afternoon. In order to handle
the crowd three extra coaches were
used by the Chesapeake Railway Com
pany. After arriving at Chesapeake
Beach, the Elks went to the Casino,
where they posed for a photograph and
then on to tent-walled inclosure near
the Casino where clam chowder was
served.

The Elks participated In a number Of
games, playing football. running sew
eral foot races, and even sparring a
round or two among themselves. George

Mr.. Larken and his assistants certainly
knew how to prepare bake all right.

'HAM|LT TON SWORN IN
SIX SCORE AND TWO
YEARS AGO TODAY
First Secretary of Treasury
Did Much to Put Nation
on Its Feet.

One hundred and twenty-five years
ago today, Col. Alexander Hamilton ac-
eepted the office OF Secretary of the
Treasury of the United States. It
largely was due to the steps which
Hamilton took for the raising of the
revenue needed to carry on the young
republic that the Government was put
upon its feet.
Hamilton accomplished this amid the
utmost difficulties. The States were
jealous of the central government, and
when Hamilton attempted to raise In
ternal revenue by a tax on whisky, he
stirred up a rebellion. and what Is
known as the whisky rebellion was one
Of the trials of the new nation.
Such was the merit OF the plans of
Hamilton, however, that they have
largely survived until this day. He is
looked upon by protectionists as the
founder of the system they advocate,
though, as a matter OF fact. he advised
nothing like the present extremes of
high protection.
Hamilton served from l7S9 to 17s5,
when he was followed by Oliver VOL
colt, of Connecticut. Six years later
Hamilton was killed by Aaron Burr In
the famous duel which grew out OF per
sonal and political differences and jeal-
ousies.

murderers OF the American are about to
come to trial.

on shore, the guns OF the Chester will

GEORGE COSSON

GREEN'S Vacancy IS Geo. Cosson

Attorney General George Cosson is
the most logical man to fill the position
made vacant by the election of Judge
w. R. Green to Congress from this Dis
trict.
He has risen through all the grada-
tions of life, private and official, to the
important Office of Attorney General
of the State of Iowa. While teach
ing school he yearned for higher edu-
cation and when he had acquired it he
turned his attention to the law. The
deeper he delved into the pages of legal
lore the more satisfied he became. His
cases were always well prepared be-
cause of his deep research and this
made him popular with Judge and
Jury. His success before the Courts
brought him into prominence as Bar
rister and eventually landing him int o

JACK HENSLEY R.
An Extra Boy Improving 0pportuni-
ties, Graduating From Washing
ton University With Honors

We acknowledge the receipt of an
announcement Of the graduating ex-
ercises of the Seattle Washington Uni
versity and in the class we find the
name of our young friend, Jack Hen
sley, formerly of Extra and who
moved to the Pacific Coast with his
parents come three years and half
ago. 1t will be remem bered that Jack
was one of the graduates Ito be) of the
Extra High School Glass of 1908 and
through the difference of opinion of
Jack and the graduation management
as to the arrangements, Jack refused
to take his place in the exercises. For
not complying with the requirements
of the management the School Board
refused to issue q diploma. This act
of Jacks has cost him two years OF
more review in the Seattle Washing
ton University. His review of studies
and further research has fitted him
for the higher aims of life and if We
don't err his aims will be lofty ones
Jacks Extras friends, where he spent
his boyhood and school days all wish
him success and the Journal torce
sends its greetings and are pleased tc
hear of his accomplishments.

STEALING A MARCH
On The Doctor Is Perhaps Not Appli-
cable In This Case But Is So Near.

Not many years ago there came to
an adjoining town young doctor just
from College. He sought to build up
practice among the strangers of the
community in which he resided. From
the first he was successful and received
many professional calls which he an
swered with becoming promptness.
An auto soon became necessary ad-
junct to his growing business and he
was seen going and coming at all hours
of the day and night. 1t was not long
however before the acquaintance of a
beautiful young lady was formed and
after few auto rides together her prior
beau was discharged and the doctor
became solid. A better field for prac-
tice in an adjoining town soon presen
ted itself, SO our young friend, the doc
tor, answered the call and relocated
there. The auto runs, to and fro from
the new location were quite frequent at
first but soon became less so; when
behold a new artist appeared in the
town and captivated the heart of the
DOCTORS amoretta and then the auto
rides became less frequent and finally
ceased altogether. The young Photo
grapher is solid now in the affections
of that young damsel and both are
pleased, one with the others society.
The artist is nevertheless thief for he
