LITTLE MOTHER.

Last Tuesday this City was Wis
lted by the most wonderful wo
man of the world, Mrs. Maud
Darlington Booth, whose life ha>
been cOnsecrated and whose engr-
gles have been applied for seven
teen years to the ameli0ration of
prisoners and the reforming Of
prison methods, the field of her
usefulness has been over nearly
the entire civilized world, and by
her eloquence, her winsome ways.
her great love for humanity she
has procured great results, so
much so that she has enthroned
herself as Little Mother" to all
the prisoners. Her talk to the
small congregation in the Metho-
dist Church was full of revela-
tons, a work Of love, extending
to thousands, assistance and Hope.
Lives had been reformed and men
and women saved by divine infu-
ence and restored to society to
become useful members thereof.
Many Clones" for prisoners.
wives and children have been es-
tablished through her untiring eff
forts. Fourteen Of these homes
are in the United States, models
OF convenience and comfort, en-
aiding the unfortunate wife and
family to prisoners to live in mod
crate comfort till they were able
to do for themselves. One of
these homes is in Louisiana. An
argument advanced by her was
that the State while it deprived
the wife and family of the sup
port of the prisoner and obtained
a profit from his labor gave no
part of it to that family, and the
wife entitled to it was left alone |
to bear the burden of support. !
Her address was full of hear.
which found ready re-
sponse with all who heard of. a
charming personality, sweet
toned voice, she reached all
hearts It was a source of regret
hat the very inclement weather
prevented the assembling Of a
arger audience-surely hers was

B. & O.. ISSUES STATEMENT
Explains It's Attitude on Strike
Threatened by Engineers.

On behalf OF the Baltimore a. Ohio Rail-
road a statement was issued yesterday on
the demands OF the engineers on the Fast
ern railroads. the engineers being engaged
in taking ballot on the question OF en-
forcing these demands.
Copies of the pamphlet sent out last week
on behalf of all the roads involved are
being also issued by the Baltimore e. Ohio,
addressed TO all railroad employees, rail
road shareholders, bondholders and the pub
lie. stating In full the propositions OF the
engineers and the detailed reply Of tn"
railroads, az signed by j. G.. Stuart chair
man Of the committee of railroad managers.
Negotiations with the engineers appar-
emily have not been broken off, though the
engineers are voting on the question OF
declaring a, strike. Unless a strike is
actually called, the two sides can NEE,
again and resume negotiations.
The Baltimore d Ohio statement holds
that the reduction of net revenues by the
constantly increasing expenses of operation
the solvent existence OF many of the roads
that further increase In operating costs IL
looked on very seriously. Then II contin-
ues.
The statement Of the roads To the engi-
neers shows gross earnings I'm the year 1911
to have Increased SlS.6J9,6j9 whereas eX-
penses have increased $500. S59 making n
decrease in net earnings OF $27550200. II
is shown that of this increase in expenses
wages OF employees were increased $50 4i6 SO2
Notwithstanding the fact that there. were
slT less men employed.
The gist Of the answer of the railroads
10 the men was that the present rate OF
wages Is. as a rule full and liberal. and
that the railroads are financially unable 10
bear the Increased expense involved.

tinued.

MONEY MAY UNDO ALIENS
Cash to Displace Strategy in
Hunt for Outlaws.

IIillsvile. Va. April Money may prove
superior to mountain strategy In capturing
Sidna Allen and Wesley Edwards, the two
outlaws Of the Allen clan still at large,
With no definite prospect of finding the
fugitives by raidng the mountainside, the
detectives are said to be attempting 10
gain information of the hiding places OF
the two men by paying $1,000 or more for
knowledge that would lead TO an imme-
date arrest.
The detectives. It is said have learned
that there are among the seventy-ltve or
more families near here who are akin 10
the Aliens some who would not be averse
10 seeing the outlaws captured. but wouli
demand in return for the Information dbSo-
lute silence by the detectives, as well as a
liberal, amount of money.
Revelation. 1t is admitted. would mean
death TO the betrayer The detectives,
therefore. are reticcnt to discuss this phase
Of a possible plan to capture the outlaws.
Thev tried hard to got information from
Jordan Edwards, arrested few days ago
on a charge OF aldinS the fugitives but
he steadfastly scorned all offers OF money
Reuben Edwards, another kinSman ot

4 woman who described herself as Miss
Mary Murtaugh, forty-two years old, a
manicurst, living at No. 342 Fast 43d street,
was taken from In front of St Patrick's
Cathedral yesterday morning to Bellevue
Hospital, where she was placed In the

Patrolman OConnor. of tho West 6sth

Grass and leaves, which she showed TO
those around her declaring the leaves were
