statement of present date from you
as to your general attitude toward the
Equestions presented by these letters
Such a statement would do much to
clarity our local situation and dc
much to emphasize what you obvious
ly intended by the Shannon letter."
81 have your letter of May g." the
Presidents letter, made public today
says, "and must apologize for not hav-
ing replied to it sooner. | am sure
that you will understand the pressure
of circumstances | have been under.
The reply to your letter is very SIM
pie. My so-called Shannon letter pre-
cisely defines my position with regard
to the liquor issue, not only as it was
when l wrote the letter, but as it is
now, and the letter to Mr.. Grogan is,
or Was, at any rate, intended to be en-
tirely consistent with it. What l in
tended to say to Mr.. Grogan and think
that | said with sufficient clearness,
was that, while the position | had ta-
ken in the Shannon letter expressed
my fixed convictions in the matter l
was not self-confident or self-opinion-
ated enough to say what the proper
course of action was either in Texas
or any other state where l was not
personally in touch with the condition
obtaining. l felt that it would be ar
rogant on my part to state that there
were, in my opinion, no circumstances
which justified an agitation for state
wide prohibition.
Il am sure that you yourself felt
that there was not inconsistency be-
tween the two letters, and I am sim
cerely obliged to you for having af-
forded me the opportunity to make
this very explicit"

man Loeffel was elected first vice
president and Louis Ripping was Sc

Louis Wittmor, who has been secre-
tary of the organization since it was
formed, was reelected. The execu-
tive committee is composed of Her
man Siemers, William H. Vogel and
Edward Frenzel.
The following members were elect
ed members of the entertainment COM
mittee: William Zapp, Charles HIT,
Harry w. Bridges, Louis Ripping,
William H. Coerver and Harry F..

Plans for holding a picnic and bar
becue some time next month were dis
cussed at length, and approved. The
date for the outing was not decided
upon, but the entertainment commit
tee was instructed to make arrange
ments for the picnic and to report at
the next meeting, which will be next
week.
Leaders in the organization intend
ed to give the picnic on July 3, but
owing to the fact that the Elks have
arranged to hold a picnic at the Fair
grounds on that date, the alliance de-
cided to hold its entertainment in
June.
The organization reported that its

FRISCO DISPATCHER HURT
AS SPEEDER JUMPS TRACK
A. Campbell Has a Narrow Escape
from Death in Wreck Near
Chaffee.

A. Campbell, chief dispatcher fol
the Frisco Railway Co. at Chaffee
was seriously injured Tuesday aft
ernoen when the gasoline speeder up
on which he was riding left the track
The accident happened at a point
near the freight depot in this city, and
and when the derailment occurred Mr.
Campbell was thrown down a rocky
embaDkment.
He received some severe body bruis-
es, but the most serious injury sus-
tanned was deep cut in the heavy
muscles of his thigh.
Yard men who witnessed the acci-
dent hurried to his relief. He was
carried into the freight depot, and a
short time later was conveyed in an
automobile to his home.
Mr.. Campbell had been in the city
visiting with his family, who live at
$50 South Middle street, and was just
for Chaffee where he is en-
ployed when the accident occurred.

BABY OF Is MONTHS
WHISTLING PROCIDY
Little Dorothy Ramsey Carries
Tunes and Mimics the
Song Birds.

Little Dorothy Ramsey, Is months
old, the daughter of Mr.. and Mrs
Everett Ramsey of the Prescott Ho-
tel, is whisthng prodigy. She can
mimic the redbird and the Bob white
as well as carry tunes, although she
has heen whistling but a month.
Miss Dorothy has amazed delegates
to the l. o. o. F. convention with her
rare ability, and she has entertained
friends of her parents daily since she
developed this accomplishment.
This baby is more interested in
mocking the songs of birds than she is
in walking and talking. She prefers
crawling to walking, but she does tod
die from one room to another several
times each day. Hello" and daddy"
are the only words in her vocabulary,
but her whistling talent is unlimited.
Mrs. Ramsey, who is the wife of the
proprietor of the Prescott Hotel, was
attracted to the baby's bed room sew
eral weeks ago by what she believed
to be the song Of Cardinal redbird.
But upon investigation she found her
baby lying in her cradle whistling as
muslcally as a bird.
Without disturbing the child, Mrs.
Ramsey summoned her husband. They
were astonished at the baby's un-
usual gift, but believed that it was
but a momentary fad. A moment la
ter Miss Dorothy quit whistling to
coo, but when her mother prompted
her she again mimicked the redbird.
Then Mr.. Ramsey called like a Bob
white and his little daughter emulated
him with two shrill notes. When he
whistled for prince" the baby's pet
terrier, Miss Dorothy did likewise and
she laughed gleefully when the dog
came running to her.
BY whistling tunes over to her, this
baby has acquired melo-
dies, and she whistles almost incess-
antly all day long. Yesterday after
noon she gave a private concert to
reporter for The Tribune. As she
crawled from room to room she
whistled like bird, pausing occasion
ally to smile at her guest.

COWBOY KIDNAPS
The GRANDSON
OF JACK ATKINS
Everett Harrison is Stolen by
Wild West Performer at
Hot Springs.
MOTHER TOURS STATE
IN SEARCH OF SON
Cape Man to Send Lads Picture
to City Police in EfforttO
Find Boy.

Everett Harrison, the 6-year-olc
grandson of Jack Atkins, a well.
known stock dealer of this city, was
kidnapped in Hot Springs, Ark, May 8
according to an announcement made
yesterday by Mr.. Atkins.
The boy is believed to have been
stolen by cowboy who was in wild
west show which spent a week in Hot
Springs. The lad visited the exhibit
ton, Mr.. Atkins stated yesterday, and
the cowboy took quite fancy to him.
When the carnival left the city, the
boy mysteriously disappeared and
from that time no word has been re-
ceived from him by his relatives.
The boys mother, Mrs. Bessie Nc
Bee, widow, is now in Arkansas, Wis
iting the various towns hoping to To-
cate the wild-west show, which the
boy is believed to be with.
The lad was of an acrobatic turn
and possessed unusual ability, it is
said He was especially attracted to
carnival companies, especially those
carrying wild-west concessions.
His mother was living in Hot
Springs when the boy was kidnapped.
She accompanied him to see the show
one day, and after that he made daily
visits to the carnival alone. He be.
came fond of a certain cowboy, be-
cause of his ability to ride wild horses
and throw the lariat.
The youth told his mother that the
cowboy wanted him to join the COM
pany, but she refused to consider the
offer. When his mother told him that
he could not accompany the troupe
when it left the city, he was satisfied.
Mrs. McBee believes that the child
was forcefully compelled to join the
carnival when the showmen left Hot
Springs. Mrs. McBee notified the po-
lice, but they reported that the boy
COULD not be located.
The mother fears that the cowboy,
realizing the lads ability, left the car
nival company and departed for an
other section of the country to join
another show and obtain a position for
the child.
Mr.. Atkins, who lives in the north
ern part of Cape Girardeau, stated
yesterday that he would find the boy
if he has to tour the United States.
He is going to send copy of the lads
to the various police sta
tions of the large cities, in an effort
to enlist their aid.
The child is described as being
rather large for his age, has white
hair and is unusually bright.

Louisville, Ky, May ia letter
from President Wilson has been made
public here reaffirming his position
on the liquor question and clarifying
two previous letters on the same sub
| ject.
Known as the Shannon and Grogan
letters, they were written when Mr..
Wilson was Governor of New Jersey.
The Shannon letter favored local op-
ton as a means of settling liquor is
sues. 1t stated if they were injected
into State or national politics they
brought disruption and rendered con-
structive legislation impossible The
Grogan letter has been construed in
Kentucky to mean the writer favored
statewide prohibition.
The Shannon letter was written in
resOpnse to letter from the Rev.
Thomas B. Shannon. superintendent of
the Anti Saloon League in New Jer-
sey. 1t is as follows:
I an in favor of local option. l am
thorough believer of local self-gov-
ernment and believe that every self
governing community which consti-
tutes social unit should have the
right to control the matter of the reg
ulation of Withholding of licenses.
So far as l myself am concerned,
therefore, l can never consent to have
the question of local option made an
issue between political parties in this
State. My judgment is very clear in
this matter.
The Grogan letter was written to
E. w. Grogan of Byers, Tex, July 6.
1911, in the heat of the statewide dry
campaign there. 1t was published in
Home and State, edited by the Rev.
DIR. D. D. Rankin of Dallas, in the in
terest of the prohibition cause, and
was also printed in several daily pa
pers in Texas, and created a profound
sensation. In the letter the then Gov.
Wilson said:
l believe that for some states state
wide prohibition is possible and de-
siraDle because of their relative no
while for other l think
that statewide prohibition is not
practicable. l have no reason to doubt
from what l know of the circumstan-
ces, that statewide prohibition is both
practicable and desirable in Texas.
In view of the widely divergent in
terpretations placed upon the two let
ters, w. B. Haldeman, editor of the
Louisville Times, wrote the President
as follows:
"State-wide prohibition has been
made an issue by two of the candi-
dates for the Democratic gubernator-
ial nomination in Kentucky, and in
that connection the so-called Grogan
letter is being used to imply that you
approve of this principle in certain
circumstances which are declared to
fit the present Kentucky political stu
alton. On the other hand, the social
ed Shannon letter is being used in an
effort to prove that you stand for To-
cal self-government as principle for
Democrats to observe.
"lf you feel that the situation war
rants" Haldeman's letter said in con-
clusion, 81 should be pleased to have
