BABY SWlNDLE A NEW ONE
Police In Boston rhwartcd Novel
Confidence Game, In Which
Baby Figures.

BOSTON. April 2o.-"Home Wanted
for a Baby In a Nice Greek Family"
was tho title of story related to
Louis Titus. Roxbury fruit dealer.
which resulted In the arrest OF the
teller OF the story as he was on his
way from the Copley- Plaza Hotel to
the south station.
Louis Varon, as the police registered
him, is the man who is alleged TO have
told the story of the homcscekIng
child. According TO the police. he went
TO Tituss store and said that a friend
OF his had just married for the second
time. y baby by Il first wife was still
living. and he desired TO farm ont tho
baby so that tho second wife wouldn't
know anything about il.
The friend was Greek. he continued.
and wished 10 have the child in Greek
family. He was willing to pay $4,000
a year for the privilege of having the
child kept out of the notice of his
second wife. One thing. however. Was
necessary. The father OF the child
must have $4,000 security before the
baby was taken from him.
1t was suggested To Titus that he
might meet another man at the Copley-
llaLd f1otei next DAY ana bring with
him 81, 900, which would be used as
half OF the necessary deposit for the
possession of the child. Titus said
that he would be there, but he also
notified the police.
He went To the hotel with tho 81 900
and 500 extra for good measure. The
other man wasn't there. however, and
Faron suggested. the police say. that
they might find him at the south sta
ton. II they didn't find him there. they
should push right on to New York City
They started to walk 10 the south sta
ton and had reached Washington and
Summer Streets when two police in
spectors stepped up and arrested
Varon. He is held on the charge Of
conspiracy TO steal $1,000 from Titus

National Campaign Will Be Launched Regardless of Whe- ther Congress Has Been .Ad- iourned at That Time.

Washington. Aug. S.-A decision to 1onnch the Democratic national cam noion soon after September 1, re- rordess of whether Congress still is in session then, was reached at a con- ference yesterday of President Will con Vance C.

 While no date was set for the noti- fcation ceremonies, Chairman McCor- mick said last night that If Congress remained in session after September the notification might take place be- fore adjournment.
 Invitations sent to the president to speak at various parts of the country were considered at the conference. Mr. Wilson will make no definite en- gagements, however, until the date for adjournment of Congress is agreed on. He has made a tentative engage ment to visit St. Louis September 19, 20 or 21 to address an organization of underwriters.
 Chairman Mccormick said the Democratic campaign would be in full swing by September 15.
 It was definitely determined that the president would not speak in Maine, where the election comes Sep tember IT, William J. Bryan, Mir. Cummings said, will make many speeches after the Maine election. His itinerary has not been arranged.
 An active campaign will be carried on by the Democrats in more States this year than ever before, the two leaders said.

SENATE HAS PASSED
 BILL CHILD LABOR
President Wilson's Desire Re- garding Child Labor Measure Fulfilled in Passage by Senate Twelve Were Opposed.

Washington, Aug. S,.-The senate late today passed the bill to prevent interstate commerce in products of child labor. The vote was 52 to 12.. The measure already passed by the house was brought to a vote in the senate upon the nsistence of Presidnet Wilson.
 Opposition to the measure had come chiefly from southern cotton mill owners and the group of southern democrats who voted against it, main- tained their opposition on the ground the measure is unconstitutional and would interfere with the rights of the states.
 Eleven democrats from the south, Senators Swanson and Martin, Un- derwood, Vardaman, James and Beck ham, Ransdell, Robinson and Shields and Culberson and Sheppard voted for it.,
 Senators against the bill were Bank head, Bryan, Fletcher, Hardwick, Smith, Overman, Simmons, Smith, Tillman, Williams, democrats; Oliver, Penrose, republicans.
 In order to expedite consideration senate conferees were appointed inn mediately after the final vote. The only amendment adopted would ex- tend the bills provisions to bar all products of establishments employ ing children from interstate com merce. The bill prohibits commerce of the produce of any mine or quarry in which children under sixteen years of age have been employed or the produca of any mill, cannery, work shop or manufacturing establishment in which children between II and Is have been employed more than eight hours day, and six days a week, be- fore six o'clock in the morning or seven. o'clock in the evening, It would take effect one year after en- actment.
 Senator Tillman denounced cotton mill owners of the south who opposed the bill, although he believed ia un- constitutional He also declared that , congress was too much influenced by the attitude of labor interests.
