CHILD To MOTHER.
Parent Faints as She Recognizes
Long Lost Boy.

Columbus, Miss, April "a boy ia
ken from itinerant peddler here sew
era1 days ago suspected of being A.
year-old Robert Dunbar, missing from
his home in Opelousas, La, since last
August, was today identified by Mrs.
C. P. Dunbar, the child's mother. Mr..
Dunbar yesterday identified the child
as his son. Fearing that announcement
of the Identification of the child by it's
mother might lead to an attempt to
lynch w. c. Walters, the peddler, in
whose hands the child was found,
strong guard was placed around the
Jail where Walters is Heing held this
afternoon. A pathetic scene was enact
ed when the little long missing child
recognized it's mother.
Mother he cried as he reached
up and stretched out his arms toward
her The mother convulsively embraced
the boy and then tainted. Owing to
the childs unkempt condition and
changes caused by exposure, the faith
er awaited the arrival of Mrs. Dunbar
before making a complete identification.
A ceaseless search has been kept
up for the missing boy and thousands
of dollars have been expended in run
ming down clews in widely separately
parts of the country. cA

They LOST MONEY
Minor Leagues Expenses Were
More Than Receipts.
President Lock Answers Trust
Charge in Congress.

New York, April 23.-"If a con-
gressional investigation committee is
appointed to look into the affairs or
organized baseball w. H. Locke, the
new president of the Philadelphia Ma
itional League said, the interesting
fact will be made public that so per
cent of the major league clubs and 8
per cent of the minors lost money last
season. This was due to the high sal
aries paid to the players and the heavy
travelling expenses, coupled with the
big money spent in rebuilding ball
parks.
1.-The major leagues have contracted
to pay nearly $1,000,000 in salaries
this season. Under the provisions Of
the national agreement the players
must receive every dollar, no matter
how much the clubs may lose. Each
club stands on it's own bottom. There
is no syndicate ownership and neither
the National or American League is
incorporated.
LAS for the socalled reserve rule,
professional baseball would become
chaotic without it. 1t prevents the
clubs in the larger cities from entic-
ing away valuable players from the
smaller clubs. If the clubs should
outbid one another for stars every
year, it would not be long before New
York and Chicago would control the
best men in the market. L Will VEN
ture to say that more than 80 per cent
of the major league players of today
are well satisfied with existing con-
ditions and would oppose any attempt
to wreck the foundations of organized
baseball. 1 hope that congress will
turn on the searchlight to show that
the cry against organized baseball is
unwarranted.'

suing the slayer ofWilson: Then the
county gradually grew to forget the
case.
One day Smiths mother learned
that her son had joined the navy. He
made good record on the ocean and
Won couple of minor promotions in
Uncle Sans service. Somehow people
In Minneapolis learned these things
ana they began to take kindly in
terest IN the lad whose conviction they
now declared, had been a bit hasty.
One day the old Populist sheriff said
ne thought Smith ought to be pardon
ed. He was talking to Halderman
who prosecuted the case. Halderman
said he thought so, too. Only five
or the IL jurors who heard the evil
dence were living. But they promptly
signed the petition for pardon and
wrote personal letters about the case.
me PopuIlst wave had gone out of
business and the public sentiment
which once demanded the 17-year-old
poys life, now changed to an evil
oence or general sympathy.
HaIderman Fought for Pardon.
To Smiths mother, now living in a
little town in Oklahoma, the news of
her sons pardon will come as a pleas
ant surprise. Halderman, the man
VINO caused Smiths conviction, is
the person to whom is due the credit
for the pardon. One day. Is years af-
ter the trial, Halderman met Mrs.
Sm1th In Oklahoma. There were tears
IN the woman's eyes as she talked to
the former prosecutor, but she did not
ask the man to intercede for executive
clemency for her son.
Right. them though" Halderman
told Governor Hodges, ct decided to
do what 1 could to set the matter
right. L never told her my purpose.
In fact she doesn't know that am
here now But 1 decided to get that
pardon if it took ten years. He ought
never to have been convicted
Told His Story to Hodges.
Then Halderman related to the governor
the fact that prosecuting attorney he
succeeded in keeping from the records
certain evidence which if admitted would
nave probably resulted in Smiths ac-
camped in the governors office. He was
on the job when the office opened in the
morning and stayed until the last clerk
went home at night. Halderman, desir-
Ing to set right the conviction which he
won as justification for his election by the
Popul1stS, succeeded in convincing Gov
ernor Hodges that Smith was entitled TO
an absolute pardon. He showed that no
real effort was ever made by the officers
to rearrest Smith after his rather strange
escape" from Jail and produced petitions
signed by practically every man who held
county office in Ottawa county at the
time of the trial and letters and petitions
from scores of men and women who heard
the evidence in the case.
This afternoon, with Smiths pardon
tucked away in an inside coat pocket,
Ha1derman left for Oklahoma to find the
boys mother. He will deliver the pardon
to the woman In person, as a final evil
dence of his effort to set right the mis-
carriage of justice of q years ago.

ROOM FOR MORE HEROES
Only Is of 21 Republics Send Statues
to Washington Building.

Washington, April 23-Only thirteen of
the twenty-one republics on the Western
hemisphere which form the Pan-Ameri-
can union have raised statues of their
national heroes in the magnificent marble
building here devoted to advancing the
interests of Pan-Americanism. In the
main hail of the building stands twenty
one marble pedestals. On ten of them are
busts of chosen national heroes, while
three other Latin-American countries
have selected the subjects to be thus hon
ored.
George Washington is this countrys
contribution to the Hall of American Re
publics' Fame. Bolivar, who achieved the
independence of Colombia, Peru and Bo-
livia. as well as of Venezuela, is the rep
resentative of the last named country.
Monuments to him stand also in the capt
tails of Venezuela, Peru and Colombia

ARROW KILLED CUSTER
Fort Scott Man Receives 1t From Old
Government Scout.

Fort Scott, April 23-Famous as the
last sand of Custer may be, there are
few people who know that he was
killed by a poisoned arrow. 1t has been
the general belief of the American peo-
pie that in this famous battle, there
were no arrows used, but Phillip Bloch,
an old Indian scout, and a man per-
haps better acquainted with the In
dams than anyone else in his time,
claims he pulled an arrow from the
body of Custer. a few hours after the
ma ssacre. Mr.. Bloch is an uncle or
Gus Greenfield's and on his last trip
to this city promised to send the arrow
so he would know it was in safe hands.
The arrow arrived yesterday, accom-
panied with a letter describing to a
certain extent the finding of Clusters
body with the point of the arrow just
touching him. The wound from the ar
row was not great, not even notice
able and as soon as the arrow was re-
moved there was no way to tell how
he had been killed.

.LEVEE BREAK FATAL.
Two Lives Lost and Mayersville, Miss,
Is Under Water.

.Vicksburg, Miss, April 23.-At least
two lives are known to have been lost
when the Woodlawn levee broke, those
of an aged negro and negro boy.
Unconfirmed reports of additional cas-
ualties have reached here.
Several hundred persons who rushed
to the levees for safety were rescued
during the night by the packet steamer
Ben Hur. The government steamer
Nakomis arrived today and immed1-
ately sent out rescue crews with gaso-
line launches and skiffs The crevasse
had widened to more than thousand
feet at noon and was rapidly crunbling
at both ends.
The flood water is several feet deep
in the town of Mayersville.

AFTER Il YEARS.
(Continued from Page one.)

Wilson choked Smith and bumped his
head against the wall. Badly frighten-
ed, the boy tried to escape. But some
one had locked the door. Then by
stander held Smith while Wilson re-
newed his threats. 1t was then that
Smith drew his gun and fired. Wilson
was killed instantly.
POpulists Were Jurors.
The killing attracted much atten-
ton in Ottawa county and the Mime
apolis courthouse was crowded when
the case was called for trial. Some of
Smiths friends, who believed the boy
was not guilty of crime, sent to east
ern Kansas and employed a couple of
we'll known criminal lawyers to con-
duct the defense. On the other hand
the commissioners of Ottawa county
sent to Salina and secured R. A. Low
EFT to assist County Attorney E. A.
Halderman with the prosecution.
Halderman had been elected county
attorney of ottawa county on the crest
of the Populist wave in Kansas. He
wasn't elected because he was a real,
sure enough lawyer; but because ev-
eryone had confidence in the mans
integrity and he was first class cam
paigner. Further than this, the trained
judiciary and members of the bar were
not in high standing with the Popu-
lists just at that time.
With the trial of the Smith case
and hand. Halderman realized that
something must be done. He knew
that the men conducting the defense
were shrewd, clever lawyers and he
feared the worst. But Halderman's
natural cunning won. He succeeded
in packing the jury with reliable Popu-
lists, who hung fervently on the coun-
ty attorneys remarks and promptly re-
turned a verdict of second degree muir
der. Smith was convicted March 3,
1892. He was sentenced to Is years
in prison. The case went to the su
preme court. but that tribunal af-
firmed the decision of the lower court.
How Did Smith Get Out?
1t was just a few days after the de-
cision came down from the supreme
court that the Minneapolis taller an
nounced one morning that his boy
murder prisoner was missing. No
one has explained fully just how
Smith escaped. No one seemed to
make a very diligent effort to return
the boy to jail. County Attorney Hal
derman was perfectly satisfied with
the result of the trial His record as
a trial lawyer had been indicated
and whitewashed and vanished by
that Populist jury and besides, Hal
derman was not retained by the coun
ty to personally chase criminals. Stor-
les of the case, as they drift down
from twenty years ago, also indicate
that perhaps the sheriff-himself
Populist-was also a bit tinid in Lur-
