KIDNAPPING CASE
Springfield, Mo-, Officers Find
Widespread Plot Existed
in That City.
The KEET MYSTERY DEEPENS
Those in Hands of Police Deny ANY
Part in Abduction of Bankers
Baby.

-pringfield, Mo-, June 7.-Seven per-
sons were arrested here today, six
early this morning and one tonight,
as the result, of an alleged kidnapping
plot of wide qualifications, which is
said to have been directed not only
against Lloyd Keet, 14-months-old son
of J. Holland Keet, banker, but also
against c. A. Clement, local jeweler,
and a ST. Louis munitions maker,
whose name has not been revealed
The link between the kidnapping of
the Keet baby, which was stolen from
it's parents home here on Memorial
day, and the plan to kidnap Clement
was said by the police to have been
established with the arrest of George
Walker, a chauffeur, taken into Gus
tody tonight. Officials were reticent
in discussing Walkers capture, but it
is known he has made several visits
to police headquarters in the last few
days in come ~tion with the Keet case
keet Baby Not Found.
The Keet baby has not been, found,
however, despite the fact that hope is
running high In searching the old
Crenshaw mansion, eight miles south
west of town, a posse found "a baby's
crib, furnished with clean bed cloth
ing and showing evidence OF having
been occupied very recently. Nearby
was an improvised cot also covered
with clean sheets. The authorities
were attracted to the place because in
a statement by one of the men under
arrest it was said that the jeweler,
Clement, was to have been held there
in the event he was kidnapped.
The five men and one woman held
before the arrest of Walker are all
charged with planning to kidnap Glenn
ent. They are Claude J. Piersol, said
to have been the brains of the gang !;
Taylor Adams and Allie Adams, his
wife; their two sons, Claytus Adams,

With the Brave Canadians

 The bulk of the Canadians are natu- rally good scouts, and fight intelligently. They admit they were untrained at the first and their discipline lax--but that has been remedied, by constant drilling. In the early days restive feeling de- long time in the rainy season, being drilled in open order fighting. There has been little or no fighting of that description, but the drilling in England was nothing compared to what it is today out here. behind the firing line.
 School for instruction in every style of warfare is held, including the throwing of bombs, the handling of the latest form of trench mortars and machine guns, and guarding against gas attacks.
 The men are instructed in adjusting the gas helmet so that it fits snugly over the face. It is of an improved shape; in fact, l was pleased to hear that it was similar to the German mask--as that told me that the English trait of not admit ting the superiority of any, others idea was being overcome by intelligent of ticers.
 The men are not only drilled in the adjustment of the masks, but they are subjected to gas attack to get them used to the effects of it. I did not en- ter the shed devoted to the test Of the poison gas, but the ordinary gas left quite pleasant smell as of cider, after the bulk of it had escaped.
 But" l inquired, "are you not talk ing great chances, actually drilling the men in the gas?" "On the contrary" was the reply, If any man was affected by it. that shows that he had disobeyed orders, and he is liable to fatigue duty'
