New York, April 25.-It was re-
ported this afternoon that private de-
tectives had located Miss Ramona
Borden in this city, in company with
two young women and one elderly
man. Her father has been notified.
New York, April 25.-Ramona Bor-
den, the 17-year-old daughter of the
millionaire milkman, is still missing.
She has not returned to the Pompton
Lake sanitarium, as officials insisted
yesterday.
Borden believes his daughter is still
in New York, though detectives are
working on the theory that she may
have sailed for Europe on the steam
er Cincinnati.
Borden is apparently in the dark as
to the whereabouts of the girl. At the
Hotel Manhattan he showed traces of
q cIcepless night, and seemed greatly
V Jrried.
"I intend to get my daughter
ba.h A." he said. 81 believe she is in
this city right now. My first concern
is to- recover her, no matter in what
part of the world she is. Then will
proceed in court against whoever was
responsible for her being taken from
my custody"

That's what DR.. L. d. Rogers, head
of the National Emergency Hospital
and Maternity Home, told the Curran
investigating committee otday.
He admitted giving baby to a wo-
man whose references were furnish
ed from a house in the "red-light"
district.
Chairman Curran came right back
at hi mby saying: "a man who has
a conscience wouldn't send a. yellow
dog to home in the 'red-ight' dis
trict."
The woman who had adopted the
baby was in the committees room at
the Planters Hotel, but was excused
from testifying until Monday be-
cause of death in the family. The
baby she got was cripple.

Giants and Yanks Guilty of Double
Murder-Help!

Once in a while the two Chicago
big league teams lose together. Yea,
DO; quite some once in a whites. But
it isn't often that we are punctured
twice in the same place by a single
city, as happened yesterday when the
Yankees murdered the Sox and the
Cubs were strangled to death by the
Giants.
The two New York teams rolled I'D
38 hits good for 25 runs, to II hits
and 5 runs by the ChicagOans.
Neither Callahan or Evers had any
honor or breath left after the twin
crimes.
There are no aIibis. You can't
place the blame on any particular
gink. The burden is heavy, but there
are plenty of gents to carry it.
What Galatians team did doesn't
all show in the box scores. What
got into the record was bad enough,
but the absent part was worse. The
entire infeld, including Hal Chase,
became traitors to the city. They
didn't want home rule, believe us.
They did their dangest to make New
York rule, and the Yanks were not
backward in grabbing openings.
Seventeen hits were made off Of
O'Brien, White and Kid Smith, but

Congregationalists Favor Nation
al prohibition--Appealto the Pres.
Against Humiliation OF Negroes

Kansas City. Mo, OCT. 2f-The
high cost of living which figures in
financial discussions in family circles
has advanced its field of operation to
the religious work.
This was brought out. late today,
during a spirited discussion before the
commission of 10 of the National
Council of Congregational churches.
when it was announced that the in
diyidual assessment of each Congre-
sationalist in the United States to-
ward the support of the National
Council had been raised from three
to four cents a year. In addition. the
church members have to meet other
assessments for the maintenance of
churches and missionary bodies.
The fact that the commission of 10
had decided to submit an increase to
the council developed then the Rev.
Frederick II. Page of Waltham, Mass.
who had secured an advance copy of
the commissions recommendations
asked the commission for information.

Washington, Oct 24-The United
States government is preparing to
notify the nations of the world gen
orally that any interference in Mexi-
can affairs will be regarded as I'M
friendly to this government
President Wilson. Secretary Bryan
and Counsellor John Bassett Moore of
the state department have exchanged
IDEAS on what the proclamation to the
world should express. 1t will be com
municated TO foreign governments
everywhere, in line with the policy es-
tablished earlier of keeping other
nations informed of every step taken
in its handling of the Mexican prob
lem.
The proclamation or note, also will
serve, it is understood, as an explicit
definition of the policy of the United
States toward the de facto authorities
in Mexico, reiterating the principle
that recognition can only be given to
governments ON this hemisphere
founded on law and order.
Earlier, today it vas expected that it
would only be a matter of few hours
when the proclamation would be made
public, but, tonight. it was practically
decided to hold the matter in allegiance

New York, Oct. PA gas oven in

the top floor of 6-story factory
building on Canal street, exploded, to-
day, killing four persons. More than
score of others were injured or
burned in the fire that succeeded the
explosion and some of them may. die.
Three of those killed were women.
All were workers in the building.
Searchlights played on the ruins, to-
night, while firemen sought for more
bodies which it was thought might
have been overlooked when entrance
to the building was effected after the
flames had been put under control,
but at 8 o'clock, after four bodies had
been removed, it was believed all the
dead had been found. The district
attorneys office began an inyestiga-
ton.
About 200 persons were employed in
the building which was occupied by
manufacturers of machinery mirrors.
clothing and other goods. The escape
of some of the trapped workers was
spectacular. With their clothing
ablaze, they climbed out through flame
swept windows onto fire escapes and
leaped to the sidewalk. Many were
badly injured by the drop from upper
floors. Spectators beat out the flames
from their clothing and prevented
them from burning to death.
