MEETS MOTHER
FOR FIRST Time

Mother? Why, / have no mother "
replied nine-year-old Arthur Comes,
colored, Monday when asked about his
parents.
Yesterday, for the first time in his
life he knew that he had been mis-.
taken and that he, like other children,
really did have mother.
In the last month he has lived with.
in few squares of his mothers home,
he passed her on the street number
of times, but never did he know that
she was any relation to him.
For seven years the little fellow has
been a ward of the county and has
been detained in an orphans home
In Indianapolis. During this time he
has cost the county over $1,000.
When few days old he was taken
from young mother and placed in
the home. In July he was placed in
a home in Richmond by Probation
Officer Gambler. The knowledge of
his parentage was still kept a secret.
Yesterday the mother of the child
could stand no longer to let her little
hoy live without knowing that he was
her child A meeting was arranged
in Mrs. Gamblers office.
When introduced to his mother the
boy knew not what to do Then he
seemed to realize and when he put
his arms around the woman's neck,
both cried for joy.

LAW To BECOME
CHECK TO AVERT
RAILROAD STRIKE

WASHINGTON. Aug. 26.-President
Wilson went to the senate this after
noon and held an extended conference
with Senator John W. Kern, majority
leader, and Senator Newland, OF
Nevada, chairman of the senate inter
state commerce committee.
1t was admitted that the question
under discussion was possible con.
gressional action to supplement the
presidents efforts to avert a strike.
Just what form such action if de.
cided upon would take was not made
public. 1t was said, however, that the
president is determined to prevent a
strike If that is humanity possible and
that if he and his advisors can find
a legislative method which can be
used as weapon, it will be furnished.
When the railway chiefs learned
that the president was at the capital
they adjourned their conference until
5 o'clock this afternoon. They said
that they did not now expect to see
the president until tonight and pos
sibly not until Monday.
After more than half an hours con-
ference with the two senators the
president came out When asked re-
garding the trip he smiled and said
that he could not say much about it
other than that he had discussed mat
tors of legislation. He smilingly de-
clined to elaborate ON that statement
or to give any further information.

MASKED BANDIT
ESCAPES POSSE
OF ARMED men

SEYMOUR, Ind, Aug. 26-The
masked bandit who held up Miss
Norah Hunziker, assistant cashier Of
the Medora state bank late yesterday,
escaped a posse of 500 farmers early
today and authorities of three coun-
ties were vainly seeking his trail this
afternoon. The farmers had surround
ed a corn field in which the bandit
was thought to be hiding, but when
they closed in they found the bird
had flown. Miss Hunziker's wound
from a bullet which passed through
her mouth and ranged downward is
not thought to be serious. She was
alone in the bank when the robber
demanded $4,000 and while she was
pleading to him to spare her he shot
her and ran from the bank shooting
recklessly. --.
