THINK RELATIVES
HAVE LOST CHILD
Detectives Hunting for Cath
crime Winters Now Ad-
vancing New Theory.

NEWCASTLE, Ind, April 3.-That
relatives may have kidnapped Gather
inc Winters. the year old daughter
of DR. W. A. Winters of this city, who
has been missing since March 20, was
the latest theory being investigated
today by private detectives. Clues OF
foul play and kidnapping by gypsies
have not developed. The latest theory
is that relatives may have kidnapped
the child as a result of family quar-.
rel over a $4,000 legacy from the
child's mother to which Catherine and
her little brother Frank are equal
heirs. Detectives are endeavoring to
ascertain the whereabout of brother
of Dr. Winters, who is alleged to have
sworn vengeance for grievances
against the doctor.

Pertinent Question Bright Boy Put
to Governor.
The late Governor Larrabee, the
grand old man'~cf Iowa, was ex.
tremely fond of children. One day
while looking over his mill at Turkey
River he found an urchin, dirty and
ragged, sound asleep near the water
wheel. The boy was Mickey Burke,
son OF a poor family in the neighbor-
hood.
The governor asked the boy why he
was so dirty and ragged. The boy
explained his mother had a large fam
lily and had to work hard aud could
get him no better clothes.
But you can keep clean" exhorted
Larrabee. "You could wash your face
and hands IL you wanted to. That
costs nothing"
Mickey said he would try.
We'll" said the governor. now is
the time to begin"
He procured a washbasin, some soap
and a towel and watched Mickey
scrub himself until he shone. Then
the governor got Mickey some clothes
and dressed him neatly. Mickey look
ed fine.
Now" said Larrabee. "we'H see
about getting you a job"
He took Mickey to the store OF an
old German OF whom the governor
was very fond. Mr.. Schneider had no
place for Mickey.
But you must have" expostulated
Larrabee. "Just look at him and see
what nice boy he is. He is clean
and neat He is a good taiker and
would make a good clerk. There Is
no finer boy. Mr. Schneider. than
Mickey here"
Schneider was obdurate. He had nc
place.
The governor and. Mickey walked
out OF the store, much disappointed
As they reached the sidewalk Mickey
turned to his benefactor and asked
Mr.. Larrabee. il | am such a darned
fine boy as you say why don't you give
me a job yourself2"-Saturday Even

made upon tariff rates. He believes
that sugar should go on the free list,

FREE WOOL PLACED
IN TARIFF MEASURE
This Decision Reached After
a Series of Conferences
AT Capital.

WASHINGTON, April 3--Removal
of all tariff from raw wool has been
agreed upon between President Viii
son and members of the House COM
mittee on ways aIfd means as the re-
suit OF conferences. The present plan
which will have the unanimous in
dorssment OF the Democratic members
OF the committee provides that wool
shall be placed on the free list an end
for which the free-wool Democrats of
the House have fought for two years.
The concession TO President Wilson
and the free-wool advocates takes the
place of the Is per cent duty which
the committee had agreed upon. This
in turn, was a reduction from the ~
per cent duty of the Democratic wool
en- revision bill which passed the
House last summer, but failed to be
come a law.
PIeases Secretary Bryan.
The free-wool agreement ii was
said by Democrats, is expected tc
bring Secretary OF State Bryan int
full accord with the tariff revision
| program.
The reception that may be given the
free wool plan by the Senate leaders
Is still matter Of conjecture
Under the existing law wool carrie:
duty of approximately IL cents pei
pound. or about 90 per cent when fg
ured on the ad valorem basis Ii il
estimated that the abolition of the
duty will cause loss of Approximate
! ly $4,000, 900 to the present govern
ment revenues, but Democratic tariff
leaders say it will bring about a sub
stantial reduction in the price of wool
en- manufactured goods This reduc
ton and the possible loss Of approxi
mately s53,O0e.000 of revenues, shoult
sugar be placed on the free list, would

Los; Angeles, Cal, Sept. 1s.---The
life OF Gen. Harrison Gray Otis was
threatened for the second time on
Tuesday when he received an infer

eral Otis is publisher Of the Los An
geles Times which was blown up Oc-
tober 81, 1910. by the MCNAMARA
brothers. IN
That: he escaped injury probably,
was due to the watchful eye OF his
Japanese servant, who received from
the postman an internal machine

employers attention to It,
The first Internal machine directed
at the life Of General Otis was found
at his residence few hours after his
newspaper plant had been DESTROYED
through the efforts OF the Mcnamara
conspiracy sy5f5
The latest attempt on his life was
attributed by the general to agencies
friendly to those whose conspiracy
eventuated in the destruction Of his
newspaper plant and the killing OF
twenty.one men three years ago.
But the police and postal authorities
believe something might be devel-
opend from the theory that the Mexi-
can question had . part in it, pointing
to an insurrecto demonstration
against a ranch company in which
General Otis is heavily interested.

in the police department, took the
machine to a sparsely inhabited sec
