FATHER SENDS
FOR HIS SON
ALBERT KEMP WHO is BELIEVED
TO BE MENTALLY DERANcEp
Is SENT FOR BY HIS PARENTS
-soME QUESTION REGARDING
HIS GOING ALONE.

Judge Miller or the police court this
afternoon received a telegram from 7.
r. Kemp of Toronto, the father of AL
bert Kemp, stating that the money for
young Kemp's passage home to Toron-
to would be sent by telegraph to the
9. N. station in this city and that the
local police should send the son home.
Albert Kemp was picked up by the
police early in the week and is sup
posed to be mentally deranged. His
actions and talk are very queer and
Judge Miller decided to hold him nm
I'll he could communicate with Kemp's
parents. The jurist wrote to Kemp's
father informing the parent OF the sad
condition OF his son and asking what
disposition the father wished to make
OF the boy. The telegram this after
noon was result OF the letter sent
early In the week.
When Kemp was told OF the tele-
gram by Desk Sargent Bowers he said
he was not particular about going
home. All that he wanted to do was
to get out and go swimming In the
river. Then IL he felt like going he
might do so, but that he would not
so any farther than Winnipeg. as thai
city was good enough for him.
There Is Some question Ii he can
make the trip alone. The local of7cers
have not yet decided az to whether
or not they will send an officer with
young Kemp. AS no provision has
been made thus far for Kemp's GUS
todian II seems that he viii have to
be placed on the train In charge OF the
conductor and the conductor given his
ticket and money.
II this is done the chief OF police
at Winnipeg will be telegraphed Of the
coming OF Kemp and will have a man
at the station to meet the unfortun-
ate and transfer INN to another train
that will take him to his home in Tor

Madison, Wis, July s.-As an eco
nomic saving Of millions of dollars
the Wisconsin legislature believes ir
wiping out the express companies and
compelling the railroads To furnish ex-
press service. This is the effect of a
resolution introduced by Assemblyman
WILDER E. Hurlbut and passed by both
houses OF the legislature. Hurdbut
claims that the railroads get from So
to SIS per cent Of the cost for transport
ing package from an express com
pany, and that all the rest is velvet
to the express companies. He cites the
testimony Of several reputable railroad
traffic managers to substantiate his
statement. He further claims that If
the railroads were compelled to fur
nlsh this express service direct TO the
people, Instead Of furnishing service to
separate corporations, express rates in
the United States could be cut ONE
half and the railroads make a good
profit.
Hurlbut, who Is a prominent and in
fluential lawyer, intends to carry this
campaign before every state legisla-
ture with the hope this concerted
action viii compel "the congress of the
United States to take such action as
may be necessary to compel all inter
state railroads to engage directly in
the business Of carrying and delivering
express" The main argument for such
measure is that the present system
necessitates to considerable extent
duplicate equipment and investment
and earnings necessary to insure a
reasonable return on the duplication.
