Ten-Year-Oid Traveller Makes Long
Journey Alone-ReIatives Thought
He Was Kidnapped.

Hightstown, \. J.-Tired Of waiting
for a promised visit to his father, It.
year-old James Francis Jr. ran away
from his hong at PerrfneYille and the
following day, while relatives and
friends were excitedly searching for
him and adding to their fear that he
had been kidnapped, the youthful tray-
eler presented himself before his as
tonished father in Fall River, Mass.
That Jimmie goes about with his
eyes wide open is shown by the fact
that he safely negotiated the trip from
the memory of similar journey made
several months previous. Making his
way afoot to HightstoNn. with money
he had saved in a toy bank he bought
ticket for New York and spent the
night at a hotel near the terminal
Undaunted when he lost his way next
morning, the fearless little fellow. by
asking questions, finally found his
way to the Grand Central station and
was soon speeding toward the Bay

the elder Francis has taken the lad
along for an extended business trip
through the New England states.

WOULD SEND SON TO JAIL
Magistrate Breen of New York Tells
Woman 1t ls a Good Way to
Spoil Him.

New York.-Mrs. Elizabeth Cronin
OF 1888 First avenue asked a Jail sen
tence for her 17-year-old son Harold
Elder, who appeared in the Yorkville
court charged with stealing from her
Mrs. Cronin gave to the boy, her son
by a former marriage, 35 cents. with
which to buy groceries. He spent 1t
for a meal for himself and then was
afraid to 20 home. He stayed away
until Friday night. when hunger drove
him to return. He got into the house
without being seen, and late In the
evening Mrs. Cronin found him asleep
on the floor of the hall. She woke him
up and took him without delay to the
East Sixty-seventh street police sta
ton, where she had him locked up as
a thief on a warrant she had obtained
two days before.
The boy was in tears when his
mother described him as incorrigible
and told over his offenses in order to
show that Jail was the only place for
him.
q will not permit you to make a
criminal of your son" said Magistrate
Breen. on hearing her demand What
chance has the boy to reform if you
send him to PRISON."
Mrs Cronin then recommended
sending the boy to some institution.
Magistrate Breen put the case over,
saying he wished to make a more
thorough investigation.

CATS PERPLEx NEW YORK
Advocates of determination Say He
rolc Measures Are Necessary to
Avert Real Plague.

New York.-Whether New York
may intrust the disposal of It's gar
bage to fourfooted scavengers In the
shape of cats, corresponding n a way
to the dogs Of Constantinople, is the
most striking possibility In tho contro-
yersy now raging as to whether cats
are a public necessity or a public
nuisance in this city demanding imme-
dlate recall
According 10 the latest feline census
II Is estimated that there are 200
cats IN this city, as compared to $4,000
dogs. and inview Of the rapidity with
which the former are increasing IN
numbers 1t is now proposed either to
license or exterminate them.
The proposal to license cats Is at
tended with many difficulties and OBJ
jections. Aside from the difficulty Of
catching a quarter of million strays
and establishing their ownership. one
expert holds that such step would be
on a par with licensing birds, white
mice or rabbits.
On the other hand, an expert of con
trary views paints a shocking picture
OF cat-ridden city In the near future
II steps are not taken to eliminate
these animals.
According to him, In the thickly
populated districts the cats are really
wild animals, attacking chiefly the
odoriferous garbage can. A recent In
yestfYatiOn AhOwa that these animals
come out only at night, SO that to
catch them 1t became necessary to
travel about the city in automobiles
in company with the forces OF the
street-eleaning department, engaged in
collecting garbage.
Altogether, the question as to
whether New York shall have the re-
call OF cats appears to promise hot
discussion.

This cat had been a great favorite

captured mice and rats endeared her

When the PROJECTORS opened their

strong smell of gas met them. She

she had lost her kittens a few days
