SHEEHAN WILL STAY
UNTIL CAUCUS TURNS
Won't Quit Senatorial Race
While Democratic Indorse-
ment Stands.

NEW YORK, March 27.-Maintainine
his attitude against Withdrawing his
candidacy for the United States Sen
atoTshtp until such time as the Demo,
cratic caucus withdraws the unanimous
nomination given him. William F.
Sheehan will go into the party caucus
at Albany tonight. He expects another
majority Endorsement, and many of his
supporters believe he will get it.
Opposition to Mr.. Sheehan is strong.
however, and the insurgents have not
hesitated to let it be known through
their leader, Senator Franklin D. Roose-
welt, that they will refuse TO enter any
caucus binding on them, in which the
choice is apt to be one that they feel
they cannot approve.
The determination of Mr.. Sheehan to
remain in the race was expressed
through a letter to the members of the
Legislature when he informed them that
his position had not changed.
''If, and when, a majority of the
Democratic members of the Legis-
lature," wrote Mr. Sheehan, "shall de-
eide in caucus TO reconsider the vote by
which | was nominated for United
States Senator, to any person partici-
pating therein, l say that the position
Of the new caucus shall be as binding
as the first"
Governor Dix was advised Of the tenor
Of Mr. Sheehan'S letter before ii was
made public. Daniel Cohalan, right
hand man of Charles F. Murphy. who is
backing Sheehan with the strength of
Tammany Hall, is among the men who
believe that Sheehan will receive the
votes he expects.

PARENTS ANGERED
BY PHYSICAL TESTS
Object TO Rule Requiring
Pupils to Strip From
Waist Up.

NEW YORK, March N.-The indigna.
ton of parents and others opposed tc
the rule requiring girls in the public
schools of Newark to submit to medical
examination, stripped from the waist up
has led the committee on instruction
and educational supplies of the board Of
education to decide to take up the mat
ter.
The rule was recently put into force
by DIR. George ]. Holmes, medical ad'
wiser of the board. When he submitted
the plan to the committee he was told
to use his own Judgment. The doctor
therefore sent this notice to the mem
bers of the examining staff:
You are instructed hereafter to re-
move the clothing from the waist up
whenever possible in conducting
physical examination. Should you
meet with serious objection to this
course on the part of any girl pupil,
instead of trying to use force would
request the pupil to bring the mother
to the school the next day or so and
in her presence conduct the examin-
alton.
One of the objections to the rule is
that the inspectors have taken groups
Of girls from the classrooms and ex-
anhned them in the presence of each
other. DIR. Holmes defends this prac-
tlce, holding that 1t insures a proper
examination. as the presence of the
groups Of pupils in itself insures a dig
nifed proceeding.
1t is alleged that not only are objec-
tions made by the older girls OF the
schools but that some members OF the
inspection staff are not in sympathy
with the plan. These admit, however
that many complaints have been made
by family physicians OF wrong dag.

his plan had not met with genera
favor, but said he had expected oppo
sition. He said that unless the ply

aminations of pupils thorough the sys'

Il am satisfied that l am absolutely

have been quietly trying TO educate the
parents to the necessity of this course
and / think that my detractors simply
do not thoroughly understand the
work"
Some of the committee members arr
reported TO favor a modification of the
rule in the cases of the older girls.

CATCH K|DNAPER
WITH HIS VICTIM
SearcherS Find Child Stealer
In Sisters Home-Vio-
lence Threatened.

BUFFALO, n. Y, March Y.-After a
twenty-four-hour house to house can
vass for an alleged ''kidnaper' through
out the Black Rock section Of the city,
Steve Reidler, twenty-five years old,
was arrested by detectives this morning.
1t was with difficulty he was saved
from violence at the hands Of a crowd.
Reidler called at the home of Mrs.
Edna Donohue, 109 Reno street, while
she was upstairs and carried OFF her
toup-year-old daughter. Throughout the
Black Rock section OF the city the
search continued. while Mrs. Donohue
was confined to her home with Mysteries.
When the searching party had almost
given up hope of finding Reidler, de-
tectives discovered he had a sister Iiy-
ing in Military road. At first they were
refused entrance there and told that
Reidler was not IN the house, but finally
they were admitted and found Reidler
and the missing baby.
News of the finding Of the child
spread rapidly and a crowd gathered
before the detectives could get their
man to the station. Reidler refuses to
tell his motive for the ki1naping.
