BELIEF OF UNTERAEYER

Chicago, Jan. 5. - Samuel Inter
meyer, counsel for the Pujo commit
tee, in a speech before the Illinois
Manufacturers association, outlined
what he termed Is a necessary pro-
gramme to restore business freedom
and confidence.
The leaders OF big business must
first purge their minds of prejudice,
and must subordinate personal desire
for gain to- the public good, he de-
clared. Next in importance, he said,
is that the laws under which business
is conducted must be SO plain that
business men can tell instinctively
what constitutes violation.
A complete dissolution between rail-
roads, industrial corporations and laws
requiring railroads to part with their
interests in properties whose products
they engage In transporting, also Is a
requirement. An executive body to
study each situation and recommend
to the court q comprehensive plan Of

laws are put into effect

one on which the banking interests

corporate distrust and the ills from
which we are now suffering. s.

BY PLAYNATES

Grand Forks, N. D., Jan. 5.-Little
Myrtle May. 7-year-old daughter
of Mr.. and Mrs. Henry Kamph Of
1408 Dell avenue, Is feared to be in
serious condition as the result of
injuries claimed by the parents to
have been received from playmates.
Myrtle, an especially pretty child, is
said to have lately excited the envy
Of her playmates, who decided that If
her face was scratched up and disfig-
ured she would be less attractive.
The father stated that his daughter
was being given every possible care,
and that he hoped and believed that
she would be her normal self in a
few days. He stated that she had
been acting queerly for several days,
and the physician who was called
stated that the stone bruises on her
head might possibly cause mental de-
rangement. According to the father,
she Is out of her mind at times, but
he hopes however that the trouble
will only be temporary.
Mr. Kamph stated that other chill
dren hid behind house and lay in
wait for the appearance of his dausil-
ter, and that when she did pass In
at her and that she was injured about
the head. A passerby stopped the
trouble for a few moments and sent
the other children away. the father
stated. but that when she went around
to the back Of the house to enter it
they again attacked her, and she re-
ceived many more injuries. No action
has been taken nor at the present time
contemplated by the parents of the
unfortunate child, according to " a
statement made by MIR. Kamphs

TWO CHILDREN
HELD AT ALTA.

Edmonton, Alta, Jan. 5.-That he
Is here with all the authority neces4
sary and will take back two children
of Martin Johnson, wealthy citizen Of
Minot, N. D.. now in charge of the
provincial department OF neglected
children, is the statement of Sheriff
Kelly, who has arrived from Minot.
Some weeks ago a woman giving
the lame Of Mrs. Jackson brought to
shelter two children, aged and 8
years, and placed them in the keeping
Of the home. Almost Immediately aft
erward their father. Martin Johnson,
arrived from their home state and re-
quested that he be given charge OF the
children. This the department refused
TO do without first receiving an order
from the Alberta court, and the faith
er thinking to secure mis- ends by mis-
own method, returned to Dakota and
sent back to Edmonton the sheriff OF
his home county.
Though armed with a warrant is
sued from the court Of North Dakota
for the possession Of the children.

sion Of the woman On the charge OF
kidnapping, Kelly found 1t impossible

the documents, which are Of no effect
In this country, according to Premier
Sifton, he was given the same advice
as had been given the father. namely.
to obtain an order from the Albertai
court for the custody Of the children.
Sheriff Kelly stated that for reasons
best understood by the parties them
selves. he did not wish to take the
n,atfer into fhe courts here What he
desires Is to meet the mother, when
he believes amicable arrangements
can be made for the return of the
youngsters to their father. Steps
would be taken to have the mother
arrested and extradited, IL possible,
but only in case she refuses to make,
anicalble arrangements. which 1t is
believed she will do. Even should she
refuse to do this. the warrant from
Dakota will fall short of its intended
mission, as 1t can be OF no effect here.
Superintendent Chadwick states he
win willingly release the children upon
the consent OF both parties being gtva
