SHE TAKES CHILD
Mrs. Clark Tanner Fights All
Day for Babe.
Deputy Sheriff and Lawyers
Accompany Her.

Los Angeles, Cal, Oct. 28.-Mrs.
Virginia Mcdowell Clark-Tanner took
forcible possession of her infant son,
]. Ross Clark II, whose legal Gus
tody had been granted her yesterday
by Judge Robert Clark, but whose ac-
tual custody was denied by the grand
father, j. Ross Clark, vice president
of the Salt Lake railroad.
A dramatic scene was enacted at
the Clark home when the young
mother appeared accompanied by two
attorneys and two deputy sheriffs and
armed with hastily drafted order by
Judge Finlayson giving her immediate
possession of the child
Several times during the day Mrs.
Tanner had gone to the Clark home
and demanded the child in accord
ance with yesterdays court order, and
each time was refused Mr.. and Mrs.
Clark and their attorneys contended
that the court order had given tech
nicaI custody of the child to Miss
Margaret Heffron, the nurse, and that
as Miss EIeffron had become suddenly
i'll and could not be removed without
endangering her life, the child would
have to remain there.
Mrs. Tanner and her attorneys then
searched the city for Judge Clark.
That jurist had returned to Ventura
and Judge Finlayson was appealed to.
He Immediately gave an order to
Sheriff Hammeu to secure the boy
and deliver him to Mrs. TANNER
Admittance to the Clark home was
denied the party until the order was
shown, and a locked door to the nurs-
cry barred the way after they had
entered the house. The officers de-
that the door be opened or
they would break it down, and when
it swung open Mrs. Tanner rushed in
and grabbed the sleeping child from
it's cradle. Despite the protests of the
and their attorneys, the
Tanner party departed with the child
and the nurse who said said to have
been threatened with appendicitis
dressed herself and accompanied

HIS WOUND STILL OPEN

Doctors EXpected.

was stronger today but his wound was
still open and he was not gaining strength
as rapidly as his physicians had hoped
he would. He was up early for the sec
ond time since his return and took a
short walk, but obliged to move
about slowly. His right side is stiu sore
from his wound and the muscles there
are badly bruised.
The colonel went to the stable and saw
Sirdar his favorite riding horse, for the
first time since he was shot. Sirdar
neighed in recognition of his master who
fed him Jumps of sugar. Colonel Roose-
welt was anxious to ride in the open air
in his automobile to New York Wednes-
day but his physicians feared that the
jolting of the would be unfavorable
to his condition and he will go by train.
A special car has been engaged for the
trip.
He will remain in New York just long
enough to make his speech, returning to
his car directly afterward for the trip
home.

Washington, Oct. 2S.-President Taft
today made public a statement in which
he declared that the -Four years of de-
preston which followed the second cleo
tion of President Cleveland" were due
to the promise of tariff reform and the
Democratic changes in the tariff that
followed. The president said that the
issue before the voters is clear ION the
one hand prosperity and real progress;
ON the other, leap in the dark"
The American people, he continued,
''have more than once surprised those
who thought the people were being
successfully fooled and I believe a
similar surprise awaits our opponents
on the cOmirf- fifth of November" The

In view erroneous statements re

Falls Into BuOnOmO'S Clutches
After Husband Dies.
WOMAN KNEW TOO MUCH
So Brute Decided She Must Be
Killed.
Sad End to. Romance Which
Began in Italy.

New York, Oct 2S.-Jennie Cava-
heri, who was decoyed to a lonely
spot on the outskirts of Bridgeport,
Conn, and brutally murdered by the
agents of a band of white slavers, was
the wife of an Italian nobleman. Fol-
lowing clues found among the letters
in the dead woman's baggage, Detec-
tive Frank Virelli of the Connecticut
state police has discovered that she
had been married in this city on Sep
tember "a, 1911. to Cavalier Achillo
Rotonac. Her career was at once ro-
mantle and tragic.
Jennie and the Cavalier Achii1c had
been playmates together in Sefa, a
small town in the province of Caserta
in the southern part of Italy. His
family boasted of descent from the no.
bility who came to Caserta in the lat
ter part of the eighteenth century
with the Bourbons. Although the fam
lily of the youth forbade the alliance,
the young couple pledged the betrothal
in the cathedral at Caserta Vecchia.
In his native town, however,
cavalairia of the king could not soil
his hands with naenial labor, as he
would have to do to support a wife
when deprived of his patrimony, so

T.R. THANKS FRIENDS.
Issues General Acknowledgement of
Letters and kilograms.

New York, Oct. 2S.-A general state
nent in behalf of Colonel Roosevelt eX-
pressing his gratitude to persons whose
letters or kilograms in reference to the
attack upon him in Milwaukee nave
remained unanswered has been issued
from Progressive national headquarters.
1t follows:
Colonel Roosevelt wishes to take this
method of expressing his deep apprecIa-
ton of the multitude of letters and
kilograms he has received since the
shooting. The number was so very
large many thousands all told, that It
was a physical impossibility for him
even to attempt to acknowledge each
individually. anL while the endeavor
has tcan made to have some answer
sent to each. yet in the confusion it is
probable that some kilograms and let
ters have since been mislaid or that the
addresses of the senders have not been
found
He trusts that in any case where
this happened the sender will pardon
the failure to answer in view of the
circumstances set forth above. He again
wishes state how grateful he is for
all these expressions of good will''
