Pittsburg, Kan, Sept. 19.-The blind,

in the spiriting away of Rosa and Add

whose disappearance on the 1frst Gay
of September so mystified the authorl-
ties. 1t was thought at first tnat the
girls had met with foul play or had been
abducted. 1t finally developed, now
ever. that their mother had stolen the
girls away, it is said, in order to avoid
a warrant committing the two TO the
reform school
The two Hodges girls had ben
cause of worry to the juvenile court oI
this county, some time previous 70

committed to the reform school for
misconduct and mistreatment OF their

No sooner had the action of tn

that if thew we're ever caught and sent
to the reform school, they would never
forgive her, and that they would Kill
themselves. The result was the moth

clutches of the law. feigning Ignorance

ficers soon learned that the mother was
the cause of their disappearance ana
that she was keeping them in hiding IN

Later Mrs Hodges went to her two
daughters, vowing that she would not

Now she turns against the very law
which she at first invoked.
Although Mrs. Hodges herSelf COM
planned about the conduct of her two
daughters, others who are acquainted
with Rosa and Ada assert that there

ruly, and persisted in attending the
nickel shows against the wishes of
their mother
The two girls are Is and IS years of
age. Mrs. Hodges is a. widow, working
out by the day to support her children.
When the girls were old enough 70

that the authorities want to know now
is, if the Hodges girls have not been
