FRANZ ABT
A GREAT GERMAN COMPOSER

The plaintive refrain of when
the Swallows Homeward Fly" al
ways calls to mind Franz Abt, born
in Prussian Saxony. Over two hun
.dred popular German songs were
composed by him and nearly all OF
them translated into English. He
is probably one of the most popu-
lar German composers. He died IN
1885, and at the memorial service
held after his death the plaintive
refrain of when the Swallows
Homeward Fly" seemed to summa-
rize the like work of this popular
composer.
Several of Abt's imperishable
songs are to be found in Heart
Songs'-the famous song collection
now being so enthusiastically re-
ceived by the readers of this paper
which has placed it within reach OF
every one. See the coupon IN TO-
days issue, which explains the terms
to our readers.

City Dairymen's League De-
cides TO Maintain Present
Price

City dealers will continue to retail
milk to consumers at s cents a quart,
it was decided unanimously last night
at meeting of the City Dairymens
League.
Regardless of the action of pro-
duccrs at their meeting Tomorrow
evening, city dealers declared to-day
that they will not go up in price, and
that though the farmers may increase
Wholesale prices to 20 cents a gallon,
it is believed it will drop to 16 cents
a gallon in the summer.
President c. f. Cooper said to-day
that the retailers are convinced that
another increase in retail prices at
present would not be fair to consum-
ers. Another meeting of retail men
VIII be held on Tuesday evening, Feb
ruary 6, when bylaws will probably
be presented for adoption.
Action TO be taken concerning per-
sons who are delinquent in paying
milk bills Will also be taken up at the

Pair Charged With
Robberies Covering
10 Years in Perry Co.

In the arrest of Ellen Towers, of
Marysville, at Philadelphia on Sunday,
and Edward Bomgardner, of near
Marysville. yesterday, State police and
authorities of Perry county believe
they have the persons who have been
committing robberies in Perry county
for at least ten years.
The woman was arrested by Trooper
Arthur Parker of the State police. 1t
is claimed she was staying at 613
South Twentieth street, Philadelphia.
and Henry Wilkins, of that address,
furnished bail yesterday at New
Bloomfield, for her appearance at
court.
Bomgardner was arrested yesterday
at his home near Marysville by Cor

coon skins, chickens, and many other
articles from farmers in all parts of

ably be made to locate the exact desti-
nation of the articles. District At

tion.

MAN HELD BY
POLICE IS NOT
THAW'S GUARD
Turns Out to Be Oliver Brewer
of Utica, n. Y, and Not
George F. O'Byrnes


New York, Jen. 10.-With the police
Thaw, wanted here to answer to an
indictment charging him with assault
ing and kidnapping Frederick Gump, Jr.,
of Kansas City, Mo-. it developed to-
day that the man whom the police of
Philadelphia have arrested is not
George f. O'Byrnes, Thaw's body
guard. alleged to have been involved
in the enticing of Gump to New York
last Christmas.
Frank p. Walsh, counsel for the
Gump family, consulted the district
attorney upon his return here to-day
from Philadelphia. He informed the
prosecutor that the man in custody in
that city is Oliver Brewer, of Utica,
y. Y. Brewer aided Thaw in Utica
last October when Thaw conducted a
political campaign there against a su-
preme court justice who had denied
the man who killed Stanford White a
writ of habeas corpus during Thaw's
legal fight to obtain his release from
the Matteawan State Hospital for the
Insane.
According to Mr.. Walshs story to
the prosecutor to-day. Thaw appar-
emily left in Brower's care. at a Phila-
delphia hotel, a number of letters and
documents. One of these, according to
the lawyer, is an agreement, drawn up
but not signed. whereby Gump set
forth that he had no objection to being
whipped. The charge against Thaw is
that he lashed Gump with a whip on
three occasions during Christmas night
in Thaws rooms in New York hotel
Brewer is held in Philadelphia on a
technical charge. He is not involved
in the accusations mentioned i'm the
Indictment against Thaw and O'Byrnes,
but acted, Mr.. Walsh alleged. as Thaw's
emissary after Thaw left New York
subsequent to the escape of Gump
from the hotel here. Thaw is under
stood to have sent Brewer to look for
Gump in the hope of preventing the
youth from telling of the alleged Incl
dents of Christmas night.
1t was explained that Brewer was at
the hotel where Thaw stopped in
Philadelphia last week and that Thaw
left his papers in Browers care, not
believing the man would be questioned
II publicity was given to any story
Gump might tell the authorities. This
accounted for the belief that Brewer
was O'Byrnes when Brewer was To-
Gated with Thaw's papers in his pos
session.,
