Bov Twice Abducted;
Mother Has Him Now

MOUNT HOLLY, N. j., March IS
Mrs. Jennie Fankhouser descended sud
denly this afternoon upon the farm of
her brothersin-law. between Vincer-
town and Buddtown, near here, and
Wien she had left in high powered
automobile her siX-year-old son, Nor
ran. had disappeared with her.
Norman is said to have led a life of
swift change between mother and
father lately. While Mrs. Fankhouser
was on her way to Woonsocket, r. L.,
recently with the boy in her company
change | is alleged to have occurred
following an unannounccd visit by the
father.
According to the story told at the
Fankhouser farm this evening. tho
mother thereupon hired detectives. who
traced the boy to that place. When
Mrs. Fankhouser arrived to-day. they
say, she declared she was reconcied to
the parting from her son and merely
wanted to see him for a few minutes.
When this request was granted. it is
claimed, she snatchcd the youngster
into her car while her detectives held
off the father.
A cross-country chase of several
miles ensued, the fathers relatives
say. When last seen, they say, Mrs.
Fankhouser and son were headed tow

ornamental boxes containing lunch
con prepared at Sherry's. In other
stands thermos bottles, glass jars and
pasteboard boxes containing hot coffee,
cold drinks and more substantial deli
cacies were everywhere in evidence.
AS early as 1880 o'clock occupants
could be seen in seats in the municipal
grandstand. Every arrival early or
late, seemed to have flag or pen
nant OF wore welcome insignia of some
nature. Police lines were drawn at
Madison Avenue from Fifty-ninth
Street to 10th Street, and no one, save
those who had tickets for the grand
stand, was allowed to pass through BY
8 o'clock the grandstands. both the
city's and those of private owners,
were we'll filled.
Every window on Fifth Avenue had
face or two pcering out of it, to be
augmented later when the paraders
marched past, by as many as could
stand the strain on their necks. On
the porchcs Of the Fifth Avenue homes
were men, women and children dressed
in holiday attire.
Further down the avenue, below
Fifty ninth Street, every available
store window was occupied. Flags of
all sizes were flown from various
points of the many buildings. At Ait
mans large American flag stretched
across the front of the building.
In this portion Of the city the spec
tators were permitted to take their
stand on Fifth Avenue. Some women
with babies in their arms had front
rank places; they stood on newspapers
to keep their feet warm. Others
brought blankets and pillows and
lunch.
At 10 o'clock every point Of vantage
had been seized. On the side streets
men and women climbed with the boys
to the tops OF tayicabs and auto trucks.
People sat on window lcdges and roof
cornices.
Trees, lamp posts and everything
else Of that nature were rsed. In
Madison Square Park especially the
treos seemed to be filled with human
birds girla climbing them as we'll as
the men. In Central Park tho same
practice obtained. Every rise of
ground made room for some Of tho
overflow.

erowding of these stands and the erec-
ton of other smaller ones--including
the official reviewing stand at Eighty
second Street-brought the Seating
capacity of the avenue up to more
than. 125,00O by the time the parade
was ready to move.
By $3.50 practically every ticket
holder had reached his or her seat in

discovered, practically no tickets were

WASHINGTON. March 25.-Plans
for winding up the governments war
venture in wooden ships were laid
to-day at conference between the
Shipping Board and representatives of
thirty-four yards in thirteen states on
the Atlantic and Gulf coasts.
Reasonable concessions in payment
Of claims made for investments i'll
yards, as we'll as for cancelled con-
tracts, were promised by Chairman
Hurley and prompt settlement was as
sured. The claims are estimated at
$4,000 900. General Manager Piez, Of
the Emergency Fleet Corporation, will
be given authority tomorrow TO close
the governments accounts with the
builders as soon as the claims are
promptly certified and no more con-
tracts for wooden ships will be let.
With the governments retirement
from the wooden ship industry one of
the developments of national emergency
virtually will be abandoned, according
to the builders.
Chairman Hurley, who presided ut
the conference, told the wooden ship
builders that he favored an immediate
adjustment Of the claims on a fair and
equitable basis He suggested that
statements of claims be prepared to
serve as basis for the adjustments.

to get so much as glimpse Of the
triumph of their comrades.
Another witness of the parade who
was vitality interested in every feature
Of the great spectacle came near shar-
ing the same fate. Mrs. Joyce Kilmer,
widow of the poet and Journalist whose
pen kept pace with his sword up to the
very hour Of his death in action, had
been provided with no ticket by the
Mayors committee.
At the eleventh hour Mrs. Kilmcr
sent written request to the knights
Of Columbus committee, asking that she
the organizations grandstand. She
said that she wanted her son. Kenton,
to see the .,arade in order that he
might form definite impression Of
the manner Of mon his dead fathers
comrades had been.
The letter reached Michael s. Hogan,

body, after the last ticket had been
disposed Of So he ga up his seat

of the stand, while the widow of the
man whose heroism has made the name
he bore famous watched the parade

The end boxes were occupied by
prominent officials OF the Knights of
Columbus from this and other cities.
Among them were James A. Flaherty,
Of Philadelphia, supreme knight; Dan

minders Of the many absent faces, as
we'll as the flower covered gun car
riage that headed the parade-a memo
rial to the heroic dead of the division
had much to do with the lack OF
general cheering along the line of
march.
Everybody seemed eager to see the
homecoming soldiers, TO welcome them
to their own. But there was sober
ness about the welcome that seemed
to preclude the usual cheers and hrr-
rahing.
Several times the tfrongs were lifted
out of themselves and carried away
with enthusiasm by the stirring spec
tacle before them. One of these came
when the West Point Cadets, acting
as a guard of honor before the official
reviewing stand, broke forth into their
chorus of yells of welcome. Before
the cheer leader had concluded his
gyrations, scores of the most digni-
stands were on their feet shouting to
the approaching veterans.
Another occasion was the appear
ance of the Knights of Columbus
Great White Fleet" composed of auto
buses carrying wounded of the division.
AS the feet of sightseeing buses
reached the stand before st. Patrick's
Cathedral, score OI pretty hnlRnJS
of Columbus girls showered the grin
ming soldiers with flowers.
Since the wounded were placed be-
yond the rules that prohibited parad-
ing soldiers from recognizing anybody
who addressed them along the line Of
march, they answered this attack with
smiles, and were applauded by the
occupants Of the neighboring seats.
In spite of the assurances of the
Mayors Committee of Welcome to
Homecoming Troops that all wounded
would be cared for, 800 wounded men
sat in the Cathedral throughout the
period the parade was passing, unable

These statements will bc reviewed by
Fleet Corporation auditor. after which
each case will be settled individuality
No broad policy Of adjustments can
be laid down, Mr.. Hurley said to-day,
on account of the varying conditions
in the several yards. Obvie@aly indi-
vdual settlements must be effected, he
said, to work justice to the shipbuild-
ers and protect the government.
Up to to day only five OF the thirty
four yards had flied statements Of
claims against the government. Fol
lowing the conference representatives
of all remaining yards wired their
managements to file statements Of
claims at once.
The claims will be settled. Chair
man Hurley stated. on the basis Of
complete cessation of wooden shipbuild
