Springfield. Mo. June 9.-Baby
Lloyd Keet was found dead today
The child had been drowned in n we'll
on an abandoned farm at least four
days ago, according to the findings
from an autopsy, when the band OF
kidnapers who took him from his
home Wednesday night OF last week
began to fear capture.
Tonight scores of Springfield men
in automobiles were hurrying in pur-
spit of the county sheriff's automo-
bile in which seven persons suspected
of completely in the kidnapping and
murder were being sped to the state
prison at jefferson City. Openly the
pursuers have declared the intention
OF taking summary vengeance upon
the perpetrators of the crime.
The body Of the 14-months-old
child was found shortly before noon
today by sheriff's pose which had
gone to haunted" house, long
since abandoned. in the Ozark noun
tains, eight miles southwest OF here.
In some way not yet explained the
The Logan Republican. [volume] (Logan, Utah) 1902-1924, 1917-06-12

to aid in unraveling the mystery has
not been learned.
This city, knowing that little Lloyd
had been killed, were aroused to-
night as 1t has not been for many
years. AS result, authorities were
taking every precaution to prevent
violence. and efforts were being made
to calm the crowds that gathered
everywhere along the streets, discuss
ing nothing other than the tragedy.
No secret was made of the crowds
feeling and threats Of lynching were
heard openly.
Mrs. Keet, the baby's mother. was
on the verge Of complete break
down tonight, physicians attending
her said. The father, too, was grief
stricken.
Mr., Keet repeatedly had offered
to pay any ransom sum demanded
and promised at one time that he
would not press the prosecution, il
the baby should be returned to him.
Consequently the only reason appar-
ent to officials for the murder OF the
baby was that searching parties at
one time had been so close to the
kidnapers that 1t became necessary
for them to seek safety in flight and
they then killed the little fellow.

ADJUSTMENTS
LYRIC.

A piquant story is told by the authors
of 'Follow Me-" which concerns the pur-
suit of the star of the Theatre Varie-
ties, Claire La Tour, by the infatuated
Marquis de Lunay, who posters her with
his attentions, and presents of jewelry
The American wife of the phiandering
Marquis discovers that her husband is
madly in love with another woman, and
not knowing that the object of his pas
sion is the delectable Claire, she asks the
pretty actress for the secret of her
charm for the men. Claire takes the
beautiful Marquise de Lunay under her
wing, so to speak, and together they lead
the flirtatious Marquis mad chase,
which eventually ends with the recon
ciliation of the estranged couple, and all
ends merrily as it has always done in
a musical comedy. Naturally the auth
ors have provided Anna Held with in
Vulnerable opportunities for changes of
costumes, and the song writers have wed
with each other in their efforts to pro-
vide lyrics which permit the fascinating
Parsienne to use her eyes with telling
effect. Three elaborate scenes depicting
a Charity Bazaar. The Green Rooms of
The Theatre Varieties, and the Ambas-
sadeur's Restaurant in Paris. There are
twenty-seven musical numbers of the
snappy kind, and the costumng is said
to be something to rave about, inasmuch
as most of them are Lucille's creations

EMPRESS.

A remarkable illustration of cXpen-
sivc, hiGh-class vaudeville, in which acts
OF the very finest c9liber and quality will
form the program will be witnessed
next week at the Empress Thcater. 1t
will be a splendid demonstration of up
to-the-mnute entertainment given by at
fractions that have won success in many
theaters of prominence.
In short it will be an unusually en-
joyablc BILL headed by that well-known
and wcll-liked genius of laughs, Nalen
tine NoX, whose visits to any vaudeville
thcatcr are a source of the richest and
most delightful form OF variety. In his
appearance at the Empress next week
Valentine NoX will be seen in his newest
and biggest vcntriloquial production,
Fun in a MillonaircS' Club" in which
he introduces his comic bell hop, one
Of the most irresistible laugh-making
creations possible. The act is revela-
tion OF humor-producing possibilities. 1t
is new art OF its own droll class, and
| it is a real offering of headline character
| 1t is sure to create furore here.
There are several other acts on the
same bill that have attained high vaude-
vile honors. Among them is the offer
| ing Of the Mimic Four, consisting of two
clever men and two lively girls Not
only is this quartet proficient in har-
mony singing, but they revcl in the title
of "Novel Nuts" and their funmakine
is contagious and of the screaming sort
that makes audiences happy and life
worth living. They sing well and they
spread good cheer Still another feature
/ is the new arrangement of entertainment
provided by the LaI'rauce Brothers, who
/ have an innovation in balancing that is
decided and most agreeable succession

OPPOSE EIGHT-HOUR DAY.

Boston, Mass.-Cotton manufacturers
from all parts of the state appeared be-
fore the legislative committee on social
welfare in opposition to the group of
bills relating to the hours of labor of
women and children known as the As
hour bills The manufacturers ignored
every proven value of shorter hours and
insisted that "the application for a short
cr work day was only another way of
asking for wage increases
In favoring the cight-hour day Prof
Felix Frankiurter, OF the Harvard law
school, presented reports recently made
in England on the manufacture of wal
supplies, which stated that more and bet
ter work was obtained on eight-houl
shifts.

VALUE OF ARM is $32,5 500.

White Plains, N. Y.-Supreme Court
Justice Plat has sustained lower court
verdict of $32, 500 against the Erie and
the New Jersey and New York Rail-
road companies, who were sued by Adam
Roeder, brakeman, for 100000 because
his arm was crushed by a defective
coupler.
Justice Platt rejected the old theory
that damages should be based on mans
earning capacity. The court said:
what is the value of limb or fac
ulty, the sense of seeing or the power
to speak? All these are questions that
must be weighed in the scales of reason
by the jury, subject to the approval or
correction of the court The jury saw
the plaintiff and heard his story. They
were not bound to find that his wages
represented the full extent of his earn
ing capacity Men of his age and situa-
ton have been known to improve their
position and become successful finan-
cially."

R0CKEFELLER'S GOLD
HIDES NEW OLIGARCHY

New York.-"The greatest plutocracy
the world has ever seen, planning to re-
assert the old reign of aristocracy lin-
der the new names of philanthropy and
science" is Bird Coler's reference to the
Rockefeller Foundation. In a speech
the former city controller attacked the
foundation and in summary Of the
foundations labors he said he found
these conditions in New York City:
"First-A vast corporation subsdizng
government and purchasing control of
agencies that affect public opinion.
"Second-A ruthless and evil attempt
to ruin other agencies engaged in philan-
thropc work.
"Third-Actual espionage by city off
cials in private affairs of the kind by
which the police agent, Fouche, made
Napoleon master of France and the po-
lice spies of Russia keep great popu-
lation in servitude.
"Fourth-A raid on the civil service
for the benefit of the specially trained
agents Of the recognizable system.
"Fifth--A raid on the school systems,
designed to limit the education of the
common people to those studies which
will make them efficient and docile pro-
ducers of material values.
"'Sixth-A dietary policy designed to
reduce the cost of maintaining produc-
tive labor by feeding it with rations
and balanced by the govern
ment.
"Seventh-An organization of govern
ment servants, free from democratic
control and with economic advantages
not possessed by taxpayers"
