When Leo Schmidt, of Clifton, N. j.,
grows up he intends to follow the pro-
fession of getting lost in the woods.
He reached that decision yesterday
after spending twenty-siX hours alone
in the wooded hills between North
Haledon and Preakness, N. j., equipped
only with soda water bottle filled
with wild strawberries.
1t was the most interesting and ex-
hilarating experience Leo has had in
all his three and a half years of life.
and the only reason for the postpone
ment of his chosen career is that Leo
judges from the demonstrative well
MI. and Mrs. Adam Schmidt, that it
will be at least seventeen years and SIN
months before he will be free to en-
bark upon it,
He is faxen-haired. blue yed
youngster of sturdy build, who speaks
a baby language of his own that is
mostly German with considerabl lie
huency, and tersely and to the point
in English when necessity arises. His
father and mother took him on a
picnic Sunday They took a trolley
car to Haledon. walked two miles tC
North Haledon and then climbed ur
the wooded slopes of High Mountain
to a forest -skrted field in which wilC
strawberries grow to fabulous proper
tions.
Takes Nap Under Tree
They had their lunch under tree al
the edge of the field and mother went
short distance into the field agair
in Search of strawberries.
1t was at 1890 that they left Lee
curl6d up under the tree At 12:4t
his mother returned to tuck the coat
closer about him. as she imagined the
breeze had freshened bit. The chile
was sound asleep. At | o'clock Mrs
Schmidt returned to the tree again tt
see that all was we'll.
Leo had vanished and so had tho
bottle Of Strawberries. Only the Goa
and the little nest the boy had made
in the grass remained to show where
he had been. Mrs. Schmidt called

husband came to the spot and joinet
/ her in shouting Leo! Leo" There wa.
no response and they began to search
. frantically through the woods, calling
as they went.
General Alarm Sounded
Their hunt was fruitlcss. Although
Leo had been there, sound aslee]
fifteen minutes before, not a trace o
him was to be found. Panic stricken
Mr.. and Mrs. Schmidt made their wa
to High Mountain Hotel, where there i
a telephone. The police of Paterson
and Clifton and the nearest deput
sheriff were notified.
From that moment until Leo turne,

FEAR SUFFRAGE

Poll of Mississippi Legislators
Indicates Failure of
Ratification.

JACKSON, Miss, Jan. II. (Spl.)-
There is not a ghost of a show for the
ratification of@-the federal suffrage
amendment in the house unless a
marked change takes place in the senti-
ment of the members.
The measure not only lacks the re-
CURED constitutional majority in that
body, but would actually fail to get a
majority of any sort ii called up at
the present time. In fact, it would be
defeated by a decisive vote.
This statement is based on a rather
careful poll of the house membership,
and the gravity of the situation is fully
realised by the suffrage leaders who
are working heroically TO stem the tide,
and change sentiment among members
who arc both passively and actively OPP
posed to the amendment.
kilograms and letters to house mem
bers continue 70 pour in from all sec
lions OF the state, signed by mon prom
inent in all walks Of life, urging ratifi-
cation Of the amendment,
The suffrage leaders estimate that
they have about 10 days in which to
complete their missionary work. it now
being assured that the amendment will
not be called for first reading and pass
age in either body until after the new
is inaugurated.

A meeting OF the legislative commit.
tee Of this organization was held here
yesterday. and after a conference with
Mr.. Hemingway a bin vas framed that

the counties into five classes, based on

900, 900 and the minimum Is counties
with assessments less than IS, 300, 900.

get $4,000 per year, and In the mimi
mum class $500 per year. Maximum
salaries for chancery CLERKS are ~, 500
per asnum and the minimum 1880.
Other officials have practically the
same range, maxiInums for circuit
clerks being So. $50, superinkendentS OF
