BISHOP SCORES PASTOR
FREED OF RADICALISM
Sees Room to Doubt Minister'S 10y.
atty in His Pulpit
Utterances.

NEW YORK, Jan. z4.-The Rev.
Percy Stickney Grant Episcopal min
lister, who was recently absolved by Il
vestry committee OF charges Of max
ing radical utterances, Is censured in
a letter written to him by Bishop
Burch, following the committees re-
port
"T have deplored the fact that on
several occasions your utterances
have been of q character calculated
to leave the impression upon un-
thinking, as we'll as upon clearly res
soning folk, that there was some
lurking spirit OF disloyalty not only
to the church in which you are a
clergyman, but a lack OF full loyalty
to the civil government" the bishop
wrote.

"COL. HOUSE DINNER
WAS BIRTHPLACE
OF HOOVER BOOM"
"Texan's Tactics Seen In
Sudden Call For
Candidate"

The sudden efrulgence OF the
Hoover star IN the armament OF
Presidential possibilities is not
cosnic accident. 1t Is the result or
we'll and carefully laid plans under
the direction of that practiced Presi-
dent-maker, Col. f. M. House.
THE chronology of the Hoover
boom begins with the return from
Europe OF Colonel House, sick In
scdy and sore at heart over the
leartless treatment he had suffered
al the hands of President Wilson.
Having had the luxury of private
ownership of a Presidential admins
tration for more than six years. Col
onel House refused to be thrown In
the discard without ceremony.
what was done prior to December
in the way of getting a new Presi-
dent for the quiet little Texas colonel
does not yet appear. The first fact
of record is that on December the
New York World, whose chief recent
claim to fame had been its unfalter-
ing devotion to President Wilson. edi-
torially announced that 1t would not
stand for a third term for him.
THE very next day, December 5,
Colonel House gave a dinner at his
apartments. Among the colonefs
guests were Ralph Pulitzer and Frank
Cobb, respectively owner and editor
of the World; Cleveland III. Dodge,
very rich man, hitherto a friend of
the President and Colonel House, and
Cyrus II. X. Curtis, publisher of the
Public Ledger, of Philadelphia.
"On the following Monday, Decem-
Der 8. the World published a story
in which its veteran political re-
porter, Louis Seibold, occupied sew
eral columns telling that Colonel
House and the President were on
the outs. A great deal Of the sew
eral columns was. taken up with a
recapitulation of the colonePs value
as a counselor and his shrewdness
as a political manager.
"Soon Hoover talk began to-
spring up with apparent sponta-
neity in various quarters. There
was mysterious discussion as to his
availability as candidate for
either party. Hoover headquarters
were opened here and there; fire.
auently under the management Of
a former member of Mr.. Hoovr's food
administration.
About the middle OF December
the Public Ledger devoted nearly
two columns of space to exalting
Mr. Hoover without declaring for
him for President, but, as the Ledger
did not retract or mitigate its praise

for KIDNAPPING the ive-year-old son OF
Hilda Lsine. OF this city. viii be

ostland, who is the son OF the
Swedish minister 10 Persia, and Ia
also said 20 be the father OF the

found begging on the streets with
the little boy.

made po effort to recover the child
which was stolen on October o. 1919
According to the local police, the
arrest was made on a secret indict-
mept issued as a result OF a previous
kidnapping on July II. At that timc
the woman recovered her son, whose
name is Tito, in New York, and
brought him back to Fitchburg.
The police say Ostland got the boy
again on October o. last, and re-
turned to New York with him. This
time the woman made no EFFORT to ID

ostland was found to be using the
child in order 10 secure money that
police action was taken.

cared nothing for him.
The woman is also said by the
police to have admitted that Ostland
was the father Of her child.

Footprints of Babies
ToBe Taken to Make
Identification Certain

NEW YORK, Jan. 24.-No parents
can insure that their offspring Will
leave footprints in the sands Of time,
as Longfellow says we all ought 10
do, but they can have the newborn
baby's footprints taken on white
paper, which document, filed away in
safety deposit box or the family
Bible, may some time prove priceless
means of Identification in case of a
KIDNAPPING, loss of memory or mis-
taken identity.
There is a movement started to
have hospitals do this. The Lying In
Hospital has already adopted the
practice, and Flower Hospital Is snX-
ious to fall in line. but that hard
worked institution isn't as rich as
some of it's fellow institutions. and
every improvement makes a little
more work on the part of somebody
who has to be paid for his services.
$50 many babies are being con-
stantly brought here or born here
that 1t would require all the time OF
one nurse to just take their foot
prints and classify and have charge
Of them Mrs. L. NJ. Varnot, the act
ing superintendent of Flower, said
today. "It is something we want to
do, but we can't unless we have moro
money. At present we are making
a public appeal for money with which
to repair wards and buildings"
Fingers Too wrigsIy.
"Wbv not take the baby's finger
prints?" the old bachelor may ask.
Because, as anybody who has ever
examined the buds Of fingers on an
infants tiny hand knows very well
IT would be next to impossible to get
a clear print of the wriggling influi-
tessimal things. But with the foot
It is comparatively easy, and the
papillary ridges there are quite as
practical for Identification. Charles
o. Title, professor of finger print
ing in New York University, Is >ncad
Of the growing group who insist that
every child's footprint should be re-
corded in the hospital where 1t ia
born. or in the bureau of vital statis-
tics along with it's birth certificate.
DIR. Marion Bingham. the young
woman house surgeon at Flower, who
spends a good part OF her time dash
ing through the streets in Changing
ambulance on hurry call to usher \
baby into the world, Is another advo-
yate OF the footprint theory, and the
nurses in the maternity ward are
strong for It, too.

There was the case OF the two
mothers who left Gouverneur Hospital
about n year ago, each with baby

CANADIAN WHEAT HIT MARKET
Import of IL Million Bushels in Octo-

Washington, Nov 1.-THE federal
trade commission and the bureau of
markets of the department of agri-
culture are expected to report to
President Wilson that importation Of
Canadian wheat in unprecedented vol
ume has been the chief cause of the
recent decline in wheat prices. Their
reports probably will be made public
within a week.
Whether the Chicago Board of
Trade will come in for censure is not
known. The investigation was con-
Quoted at the request of President
Wilson, following charges of Govern
or Allen of Kansas that manipulation
on the Chicago Board of Trade
coupled with unprecedented imports
of wheat from Canada has caused the
drop in prices.
Latest figures as compiled by the
bureau Of markets shows that imports
Of wheat from Cshsda during the
month of October reached the enor-
nous total of II million bushels. The
largest total heretofore imported in
anN month of October was l.754.797
bushels in October, 1915.

3 II MILLION
ROBBERY SOLVED
Large Amount of Mail Car Loot Is
Recovered and Ten Are Under
Woman Tells the
Story.

Council Bluffs, Ia, Nov. 19.--Sev.
en- more arrests, one confession, the
recovery of large amount Of money,
all in ten-dollar bills, and the discov-
cry Of an automobile during last
night and this morning have resulted
in the clearing up of the mystery sur
rounding the So 100000 mail car rob
berry in the local yards Saturday
night
Two Of the men, T. A. DAILY and II.
A. Reed, are whites and the others
are negroes. The money was recov-
cred from an abandoned chicken house
Of the Daily home, following the con-
fession of Reed. Reed lives at the
DAILY home. 3
The negroes arrested are members
of the John Bell family and are held
in connection with one mail sack NOT
yet recovered.
Reed was arrested at 1920 o'clock
last night, being identified by Fred
Poffenberger. He was put thru a
severe grilling at the federal building
and at length gave information which
led to the arrest this morning OF
DAILY, at whose home he had been liv-
ing
The money which was recovered by
the investigators with the arrest of
Daily and Reed was in ten-dolar bills,
but officials this morning had not
made public the total amount.
Federal officials announced this
morning that the case had now been
completed to all intents and purposes.
The ten persons under arrest will be
given a hearing before United States
Commissioner W. A. Byars. They are
now in the tower of the federal build
ing.
Dumped Loot in Car.
The automobile used in the robbery
was driven alongside the Burlington
fast mail as the train was slowing
! down for a crossing, enabling the
robbers to enter and leave the car
| quickly, as only an ordinary crossing
stop is made. Evidence goes to show
that the car speedily carried thcln
away from the spot with their plum
der. The car discovered last night is
believed to be the one used in the rob
berry.
Mrs. Daily, wife of one of the men
/ under arrest, insists that Reed was at
the Daily home the night of the rob
| berry. Developments seem to show
that he was leader of the gang with
Poffenberger as his lieutenant, and
that the latter, with Orville Phillips,
who surrendered yesterday to save his
older brother, Merle Phillips, did the
work, the authorities say.
Woman Tells Story
According to Mrs. Daily, Poffenber-
| ger brought the money to their nome

/, packages as currency is handled at
banks. She saw them handling the
money in back room. she said this
morning.
