APPROPRIATED THE
BABY FOR LOVE

NEW YORK, June 19.-Five-year- old
| Sophie Weisberg, who was kidnapped
Tuesday evening in the street in front
of her fathers home, 3O5 West One
Hundred and Forty-fifth street, is safe
at home, arrayed in new clothes and
with her long hair cut in Buster
Brown fashion. Sadie Rubin is looked
up charged with kidnapping, though
it was she who, after taking the little
girl, returned her Wednesday night
voluntarily.
Miss Rubin, who is 81 years old,
wept in the station-house, declaring
that she had no intention of keeping
the little girl, but simply wanted to
practice to learn to be a nurse girl.
She told how she had bought new
clothes for the child, and how well
she had treated little Sophie, and in
this Sophie concurred heartily. She
seemed to have enjoyed her brief visit
with Miss Rubin.
Story of Abductress.
The young girl said that she had
worked at many trades, but had never
been able to earn much money, though
her family needed money badly, and
on Tuesday she answered an adver
tisement for a maid. She did not get
the job and was wandering discon-
through the streets when she
saw little Sophie.
She was delighted with the appear
ance of the child, and without a
thought that it was actual kidnapping,
she took the little girl down town
with her to her home at 100 Canal
street Her father, Mr.. Rubin, was
angry at having an extra mouth to
feed, though Sadie explained that the
little girl was lost, and that she could |
not leave her in the streets.
Father drove me out" said Miss
Rubin, and | took Sophie to rel
atives III Forsythe street. Next day
we went out, and | had her haii cut
and bought her Buster Brown suit. F"
The young woman said that Wednes
day her relatives saw the newspaper
stories of the loss of Sophie, and or
1ered her to return the child. She
waited till night, she said, because
she thought the streets would be de-
serted and she could leave the little
girl and escape unnoticed.

CONSTRUCTING NEW ROAD
Railway Up Pond Greeks Being
Pushed and Will Be Ready
= For Use Soon.

Bluefeld, w. Va.-The construction
of the branch railway up Pond creek
is advancing rapidly and the coal oper-
ators expect to have a temporary track
to the mines in about three or four
months. When this track is laid ship
ments of coal will at once begin and
what is believed to be one of the great
est fields in the country will be in a
position to place its product upon the
market
The branch line of the Norfolk &
Western up Pond creek was begun in
February and large force of men is
employed in its construction at the
present time. When completed, the
road will open large coal field, for
it is estimated that more than 100000
acres of coal land will be reached by
the road.
The Pond Greek Coal Co. is at pres
ent developing eight mines which it
hopes will reach an aggregate capac-
ity during the early part of 1913 of
1900 tons per day. During next year
this company expects to increase its
number of openings to twelve.
A large tract of coal land, belonging
to the United States Coal and Oil Co.,
will be reached by the new line and
it is reported that this company will
begin developing mines at an early

three days it was in session there was
not single roll call nor ballot taken.
