Child Kidnapped
By Its Uncle,
Mother Says
Jersey Officials, However.
Declare Man Who Took
g. Year Old Girl From
Her Home L. Father
No Trace of the Pair.
Mrs. Miller Says Her
Brother Obtained Elsie
by Promising a Trip

The parentage o. a three -year-olc
girl reported to have been Kidnapped
last Wednesday from the home of Mr.
and Mrs. Anthony Miller, near the
Picantinny On. j. arsenal. was still
in doubt last night. According to the
Millers, when seen last night at their
residence, at n Irving Place, the lit
tie girl, Elsie, is their daughter and
was kidnapped by Peter Berger, Mrs
Miller's brother Officials of Morris
County, however. say that Berger is
the father Of the child.
Mrs. Miller was emphatic in her de-
nial that the child belonged to Berger
She said her brother never had been
married On the other hand, County
Prosecutor John Mills said last night
that the officials of the county worked
on the alleged kidnapping case until they
discovered that the girl had been taken
By her father. Then they had stopped
their investigation.
Adoption Not Proved
The investigation undertaken by the
Morris County officials is said to have
shown that when Berger's wife died
he gave his daughter into the care of
Mrs. Miller. The child was then six
weeks old. AS they are also said to
have been unable to establish the fact
that Mrs. Miller had legally adopted
the little girl, the officials saw no
reason why the person whom they be-
lieved to be her father could not take
her away.
Mr.. Miller, when told of this last
night said he could not understand it
He said he had sworn out a warrant
for mis- brother-in-law's arrest, and
that the officials OF Morris County
had promised their aid.
He said that Berger was of German
Hungarian extraction and given to in
tensely radical views. He had en-
ploved him. he said, in his restaurant
on the arsenal reservation as a counter
man.
Asked for $500 Loan
Some time ago." said Mr. Miller
"Berger asked me for $500. 1 could
not give Il TO him. On Wednesday he
told ne that he was going to Dover,
which is about six miles from the ar
senal, to have his teeth fixed. I gave
him 5000 to deposit in the bank there
without my knowledge Berger then
went to my wife and told her that
we were all going to Lake Hopatcong
and that he would take Elsie out tc
get her something to eat while 1 was
getting ready.
"Suspecting nothing, my wife let
Elsie go with him. He never returned. "
Mr. Miller said that another man, a
German, who worked in the restaurant
as a dishwasher, had disappeared at
the same time as Berger He thinks
that this man was the brains of the
scheme.
So far the Millers have been unable
to find either the child or Berger

well responded to the appeal of a young printer who desired an educa- ton but did not have the funds to go to college. The nucleus of Temple university as it stands today was formed when the printer was in vited with his friends to come to Dr. Conwell for instruction. Year by year, in the face of tremendous obstacles, the ridicule of the public who termed the venture "Conwell's s Folly" and the then existing prejudice against night study, Dr. ConwelIs little class grew until the Temple university was chartered in 1888. Since then it has been recognized in sity of the highest standing. It has graduated more than 100000 stu dents and has an enrolment this year of more than 1000,
 The magnificent work which Dr. Conweu began so many years ago in opening the door of higher learning to the working man and his chill dren has been continued ever since through his interchangeable devotion not only to Temple university, the Samaritan hospital, Garretson hos pital and othcp institutions which re part of the university or assO- ciated with it, but also to the causes of education and public service gen. era ly.
 1 the sixty years that Dr. Conwell ha 1ectured and written, his earn ings would have totaled $16,500, 0,000.

LIVELY MAYORALTY RACE
ON AT ROCKY MOUNT


Rocky Mount, April 14.-The IA
miliar adage, ''the more the merrier
has never been better illustrated than
in the present local mayoralty race
when with six hats in the ring the
political pot is literally boiling over
and the race is assuming such pro-
portions that the old political heads
are beginning to take notice and
prick up their ears.
The race had been going along at
speedy clip up until yesterday,
when there were only four candid
ates in the ring-T. T. Thorne, pres
ent encumbent; ]. w. Keel, G. L.
Gay and Charles L. Station. Then yes
terday morning M. v. Barnhill and
Paul R. Capelle entered and with
new blood in the fray the campaign
is beginning to gather cyclone as
poets. 1t had been variously rumored
that the entry of these two candid
ates would result in Withdrawals,
but the rumors seem to have been
founded upon the sand as every
aspirant is sticking firmly to his
guns and entrenching himself for
further action prior to the decisive
battle on primary day, April 20.

ARE WISE
IN WESTERN N. G.

Hickory, April 14.-Hundreds of
farmers in this section Of North Caro-
lima, mindful of the drop in prices Of
tobacco and cotton, are to use their
lands to raise more Of the food and
feed crops, judging by sales made by
local seed stores. It was estimated
by one Hickory concern that at least
10 tons Of clover seed were sold here
this spring and one travelling over
the country sees much evidence Of
clover crops. Never before in the
history of this section-and Hickory
is in close touch with lower Burke,
Caldwell Alexander, Lincoln and its
own county of Catawba-have SO
many farmers gone in for hog and
hominy. This means, of course, that
this grain and dairying section is to
outdo former efforts. Many farmers
here say they can buy cotton cheap
or than they can raise It, and al
though they are not expecting big
cash returns on their yields this year,
they are expecting dividends in bet
ter soil.
