RANSOM FOR RETURN OF
HER BOY.
HOME is RAIDED AT NIGHT
Two-Year-OId Grandson Of Kansas
City Millionaire Taken From Won'-
an by Masked Men During Absence
of Husband From City.

East Las Vegas, N. MA victim OF
one of the most daring and cunning
ly planned kidnapings In the history
of crime, young Waldo Rogers, the
two-year-old son of Mr.. and Mrs. a. T.
Rogers, Jr., and grandson of H. l..
Waldo, Kansas City millionaire, was
stolen Wednesday at midnight from
his mothers arms at the point of re-

he was returned to his parents. A
ransom of $4,000 was first paid. Four
men are believed in the kidnapping.
Though the child was stolen
Wednesday night, threats of the at
ductors that they would kill the babe

thorities, news of the abduction did
not become known until Thursday
night "a hours after the child had
been surrendered and the kidnapers
had escaped with the ransom. At the
time of the kidnapping the child's IA
Their was absent from the city. Masked
men entered the home in the fashion
able residence district and demanded
the babe. The frantic mother tried to
bribe them with jewels, silverware
and what money was in the house, but

The bandits left note telling how
money was to be paid. The note di'
rected that red lamp should be hung
in the rear window Of the house at

to be turned over. Failure to do SO
was to be taken as refusal and would
result in the immediate murder OF
the child, according to threats in the
note which directed that the money

terror-stricken family let no one into
the secret. They got the money and

The matter of reclamation of waste
lands is becoming of as much inter
est abroad as in our own country.
Germany feels the need of acquiring
all the tillable soil possible, and the
matter has been up before the German
Agricultural Congress at Berlin where
Emperor William made an address on
the subject. From statistics present
ed it was shown that there are hun
dreds of square miles of moorland
which may be made available for
grazing purposes. and His Imperial
Majesty urged effective action along
that line. Conservation of resources
is of worldwide moment.

DECLARES LAW VOID
BUCKET SHOPS WIN OVER GOV
EMINENT BY DECISION.
Has Severe Setback in Campaign
Which Began With Raids In
Seven Large Cities.

-"Bucket-shopping" is
lawful occupation, according to a
decision handed down by Justice
Wright in the district Supreme court,
and as a result the widespread move
ment by the department of justice to
end the practice in nearly half a
score of cities threatens to come to
naught. Justice Wright based his de-
cision on the ground that the amend
ment to the code defining "bucketing"
is unconstitutional because it deprives
citizens of the liberty of contract
guaranteed them by the Constitution.
The decision wasS rendered in the
case of Edward Altemus of Jersey City
and Louis A. and Angelo Celia of St.
Louis, who operated a so-called buck
ct shop under the title of the Standard
Stock and Grain company. With 26
others they were indicted and, while
six of those pleaded guilty and were
fined in sums aggregating $500, the
remainder decided to tight.
The government announced It's in
tention to appeal from Justice
Wright's decision. The attorney gen.
era1, when informed of the finding, de-
c1ared he would carry the question to
the Supreme court of the United
States, if necessary, for he Is anxious
to have the matter determined in or
der that the department may proceed
with further prosecutions along the
same line If the law is upheld.
In the meantime the law officers of
the government will watch carefully
the progress of an appeal Of other of
the indicted "bucket-shoppers" pend
ing before Justice Gould Of the same
court. This appeal is not taken on
constitutional grounds, but raises
technical objections.

Those women who have acquired

fail to devote time and attention to
the accessories. and, being trained to

main innovations in short order and
pass on to details, while their less
successful rich sisters are still hazy
as to the accepted cut of skirt and

MAKING OLD GLOVES OF USE
When Past MendIng They Can Be
Utilized for Service In Great
Variety of Ways.

Do not discard your long gloves
when the fingers are past further
mending. for here are some OF the
uses to which they may be put.
Cut the armlets Of your black suede
ones into round pieces the size of a
coffee cup at the top. About eight
such pieces fastened together In the
middle with a fancy button make a
useful penwiper. One, let It be added,
that never scratches, nor blunts the
most delicate nibs.
Again, cut them to form little bags
All round the opening a little way from
the edge, pierce eyelet holes through
which you can run pretty cord or
ribbon. after which you will be pro-
vided with the handlest little copper
bag ever invented
Long kid ends of any color will
make button covers OF an absolutely
un-to.date kind; also binding for hats,
coat cuffs and collars Nothing Ia SO
fashionable as kid for these purposes,
You must not forget. too. that belts,
rompons and frinses are made by
clever American girls from gloves
that, as such, can see no further serv-
ice
The arms of long silk gloves make
excellent undersleeves to an over
dress, and the wristlets OF wooden
ones, warm mittens for frosty days.
