Bring me diamonds from the spaces

BARE, KIDNAPPED AND
 SOLD IS RECOVERED
Child Taken From Pair Who Say They Paid $1O0 For It

HOUSTON, Tex, Feb. 4.-A baby, kidnapped from it's sick mother eight months ago and sold to passing tour isrs for $100, was recovered here to- Aday by Probation Officer James M. Gillian of Kansas City.
 The child was recovered from MT. and Mrs. H. c. Atkins. who soid while they were passingthrough Kansas City they were offered the child for $100 by two physicians. Gillian charged the doctors had stolen the baby from its mother, then seriously ill. Authorities here failed to reveal the name of the child or of its parents.
 Gillian, equipped with two bottles of milk, nipple, soft pillows, bundle of clothing, left for Kansas City with the baby sleeping soundly by his side in Pullman berth. The Atkins were repaid the $100 which they gave for the baby and $50 month for it's keep during the time it was in their posses sion.
 "The Kansas City doctors took the baby from its mother at birth," said Gillian.
 "The mother did not recover her health for nearly a month, when she started search for the child. The At kins auto was traced over the country and we finally located them aere."

MEXICO CITY, Feb. 4.-The main body of General Martinezs federal army has left Orizaba en route for Fortin, near Cordoba, where his van guard halted after hopping up and garrisoning the reoccupied territory in preparation for the resistance which the rebel leader, Sanchez, is expected to offer in that vicinity.
 The capture of the railway junction of Cordoba would enable the federal troops to complete line of offensive southward to the isthmus, where Gen. Juan Dominguez is holding Santa Lu- cretia and San Geronimo for the gov ernment. With this line completed the Vera Cruz revolutionists would be i'm mediately isolated from all the rebel lious regions except the northern Vera Cruz petroleum district.

JUDGE DECLARES
 MISTRIALN TWO
 LYNCHING CASES
All Other Cases Con. tinued And All Wit

HAMILTON, Ala., Feb. 4.-(Spe' cial. 1.-Two other mistrials were added today to the history of the guardsmen trials in connection with the lynchine of William Baird, miner, during the 1921 coal strike. Juries in both the Joseph Key and Foy Patton cases were discharged at 4 :45 o'clock this after. noon by Judge c. P. Almon after they had reported inability ot agree. Other cases were postponed indefinitely.
 The Key jury had been out since Wednesday afternoon. The last bal. lot was reported six for acquittal and six for conviction. In the Patton case the jury was reported divided seven for acquittal and five for conviction on the last ballot.
 The postponement of the other cases resulted when Judge Horace c. Wilk. erson, chief prosecuting attorney, wired for a continuance for two weeks. He was not present, having remained al home in Birmingham. There is a limit to human endurance" Judge Wilkerson was reported as having said The defense opposed any postponement 7 Witnesses, court officials and others interested in the cases returned to their homes today after the cases had been continued. The jury drawn for the Glen Stephens case which was next on docket was discharged.
 The two mistrials called to mind that Robers J. Lancaster was tried twice before the one in which he was convicted and sentenced to IS years in the penitentiary. His attorneys i'm mediately took an appeal to the SUI preme court

SOME DELAY IN SEPARATION OF
 WARRIOR LINE
Divorce Of System From
 Mississippi Assured But Step Opposed

WASHINGTON, Feb. 4.-Official announcement of the new policy whereby the Warrior river barge line will be operated independently of the Mississippi river barge line has been delayed two weeks, it is learned today Certain opposition to the new policy has developed. Henry F. DeBardele- ben of Birmingham, who came to Wash ington today, is animated to object be- cause under the proposed scheme of op- eration the Warrior river for a while will abandon the movement of coal de- veloped on the banks of the Warrior.
 This proposed abandonment is said to be due entirely to the action of the Frisco railroad in establishing an all rail rate as cheap as rail and water rate. In consequence. of the Frisco s action, the barge line could not move coal at a profit, and therefore pro- final decree is delivered by the In- terstate Commerce commission.
 Certain objection from Mobile, be- cause of the foregoing, and from Cor dova, has come to Washington. The two weeks delay, however, is attrib- uted officially to the necessity of mova ing certain commodities from Mobile to New Orleans, already contracted for, which under the new policy of separation could not be moved.
 Theodore Brent, formerly manager of the Mississippi Warrior service, is in consultation with Washington officials this week. Nothing has transpired, however, to result in a change from the information printed in The Age-Herald of last Thursday.
 A separate Warrior is assured.

SHIP OWNERS HAVE }. BAD TEAR IN 1923
Presidents Report To Steamship Body Voices Discouragement

NEW YORK, Feb. 4.-The year 1923 was one of particular difficulty and discouragement to shipowners of all countries, Alfred Gilbert Smith, president of the American Steamship Owners association, declared in his re- port to the annual meeting today. v
 Maritime conditions throughout the world changed but slightly for the bet ter, while in the United States there was further r..ecline in participation in overseas carrying trade, he said. Many American vessels sought refuge in the protected coast service with the result that some routes, notably inter- coastal trade of the Atlantic, and Pa cific seaboards, were over-steamered, he added. s,
 Mir. Smith was reelected president.
 Gale H. Carter, president of the Pa cific Mail Steamship company; David T. Warden. manager of the marine di- vision of the Tidewater Oil company, and Eugene O'Donnell, vice president and general manager of c. H. Sprague and Son of Boston, were reelected vice presidents.
