KIDNAPER OF DUNBAR CHILD WRITES
 PATHETIC LETTER TO THE AGE-HERALD

her missing son. A woman from North Carolina claimed the boy as her ille- gitimate offspring. The jury declared the prisoner guilty. And now Walters is gay no more.
 Have you ever heard of miscar- riage of justice?" he asks
 And then in a scrawlng hand he pro- ceeds to disconnect many phrases by misspelled words-out of which one, by long and ponderous consideration, gathers the following:
 "l came out from North Carolina to Mississippi in 1912 and settled In Pearl River county, at Bilbo. I remained in that community until April. 1913.
 And on the night of April I was visited by gang of white cappers who now call themselves the citizens committed I was abused. And then to furnish excuse for their action they wrote MT. Dunbar, suggesting that he visit Bilbo and take my little boy whether he was his or not.
 And he came and took my little boy--and spirited me to jail in the night. And since I have been fighting for liberty and for justice. 1T have stood trial I proved the dear little boy came out with me from North Carolina. There was no evidence against me. But l was convicted and sentenced to serve for the remainder of my life in the pen I have mo- tion for new trial pending. | 'I think the good people-zif there are any left, any left who are not afraid and who cannot be bought should rise in revolt. When a man is | not protected in his life and property the country has reached very low level"
 At this point Walters declares that l in his opinion MT. Dunbar should be forced to carry his son Paul to Pop larville and Columbiana, Miss, where the writer contends are more than 200 people who would swear that the lad l had there been seen prior to August | 23, 1912, the date of the alleged kid naping.
 | But the writer does not waste all his space in dealing with his present
 melancholy plight. He takes pains to declare that he has been robbed--n0t | only of liberty--but of property. He declares that he had prepared to sell
 his home in North Carolina and invest fin Pearl River county property. He 1 was preparing to go Into the poultry business. He had even gone to the extent of employing an old man and
 his wife to heep his house for him,
 and look after his chickens, while he

JOSEPH FOLK GIVES IMMUNITY BATHFOR A BRIEF NOTOR|ETy Examination of New Haven Officials Makes Free
 From Prosecution
DOES LITTLE GOOD
 EXCEPT HELP FOLK
McReynolds Has Worked Six Months On Plan Which Folk Now Threat ems in Order to Get Into
 Limelight
By C. E. STEWART

Washington, May 6.-(Special Ut 4s regarded as particularly unfortunate
 especially by leaders in Washington
 who look further than tomorrow-that
 the efforts of Attorney General Me-
 Reynolds for a period Of over six
 months, to settle tN New Haven rail-
 road muddle, should be jeopardized in
 order to give Joseph Folk of Missouri,
 counsellor for the interstate com
 merce commission, place on the front
 page for few days.
 The dissolution of the New Haven
 was one of the greatest problems ever
 undertaken by the department of jus
 tice. This gigantic combine, embrace
 ing as it did, the entire transporta-
 tion scheme of New England. and so closely interwoven with the industrial
 life of New England that anything affecting New Haven effected business throughout the entire territory it cov- cred created a lSnotty and vexing sit uation that had to be handled with the greatest dslicacy in order, that in correcting wrong, damage would not be done to an incalculable degree to no inconsiderable number of persons.
 Railroads, trolley lines, Sound steam CTS, and in short every phase of New England industry was sensitive to an assault on New Haven. That 1t was an unlawful combine, everyone has recognized for years. That it's disso- luton must take place, the department of justice was fully determined, and committed to.
 Feared Criminal Prosecution
 The dissolution agreement between the department of justice and the New Haven officials as everyone knows who is familiar with the subject. was rammed down the threats of the New Haven officials, without a lawsuit, by fact that the fear of criminal prose- l cution was held over the heads of the offenders who had controlled the affairs 1 of that road by that official.
 Through the fear of the penitentiary l or heavy fines for many prominent men, the Attorney General succeeded l in obtaining an agreement for the dis solution of the combine. that was sat l isfactory to the department of justice
 as was all that he would have asked
 had the civil suit for dissolution been
 submitted to the courts. Had suit been
 brought the New Haven would not
 have been the only sufferer. Had that
 teen true, so much time and worry by
 the depai tment of justice would not
 have been undergone Business men
 of New England declared that a gov
 ernment suit against the road would
 result in a panic and general de-

ADVICE TO A C0NTRITE
GIRL.

New Carlisle, Ind. June %, 1914.
Dear Mrs. Thomas:
l am a young lady of IS who has
been going with a young man who
once remarked TO me that he had never
cared enough for any girl that she had
the power To hurt his feelings in any
way whatever / considered this a
challenge and i'm a reckless impulse I
resolved to use this as a test to see If
he really cared for me. as he often
had given me to understand he loved
me. It was cruel, I admit, but l did
not once think o. the consequences.
succeeded in not only hurting his feel
ings severely, but in making him very
angry with me as well. | was very
sorry afterwards but too proud to
apologize until we had come to an
understanding about it, Now shall I
ask his pardon for my heartleSS con-
duct or tell him of the challenge he
gave unconsciously? I really like him
very much and would like TO retain his
friendship. CAPRICIOUS.
CapriciOus: all like to pretend
sometimes that we have hearts and
feelings inlperviOus to hurts big and
little. but IL is most always just pre-
tense. Doubtless il was just A little
spirit of bravado on the part OF your
friend that moved him to make the
statement winch YOU COnSlOered a
challenge ard il was wrong of YOU TO
take advantage of il. No doubt you
could have thought of some other
kinder way in which to test his love.
some way which would have shown
less of the spirit of retaliation for your
own hurt pride. Tive best thing for
you TO do is to apologize TO him i'm
mediately and frankly FOR your offense
and then explain TO him how you inter
preted his statement If he refuses
