KIDNAP CLUES

Abandoned Launch, De-
serted Shack Scanned;
Parents Losing Hope

Tacoma, Wash, Jan. 11-CUP)--
An abandoned launch In Puget
Sound and a recently occupied
shack on lonely Squaxon Island, Is
miles north Of Olympia, spurred
police and federal agents today In
their search for kidnapped 10-year-
old Charles Mattson.

nent to the kidnapping case would
fit with the visit week ago Of
man at Shelton sawmill who told
gateman to advice DR.. William w.
Mattson, the boys father, that AL
Is WELL" Shelton is located between
Olympia and Tacoma.
Clues Are Examined
Investigators, whose hunt for the
kidnaper was halted temporarily at
DR.. Mattson's request, announced
that both the launch and the shack
were being examined as possible
important clues.
Meanwhile, the parents of the
kidnapped youth awaited some new
word from his abductor that
Charles was taken from the spa
cious Puget Sound home two weeks
ago last night.
Both DR.. and Mrs. Mattson fear
that their son may be dead-either
the victim Of his abductor or Of the
bitterly cold weather which has
brought heavy SHOWS to this region.
Their worry that the boy may not
be alive increased hourly with the
kidnaper's silence.

His wife then interp0sed TO
,ay that he took the groceries
he got from the welfare de-
partment and exchanged them
for liquor. The husband airily
denied that charge, and then
tc.d the court that he had sup
ported his wife's brother for
five years.
At this point, Probation Off

wife has gone with complaints

the court a history of the case.
But the prisoner wouldn't even
let him get started. Listen, MIR.

case two weeks, and warned the

to take place during the ensuing
year and dates must be set far in
advance In order to avoid conflicting
with affairs of the many other
French organizations Of the city.
There Is a great demand among the
membership for a "mardi-gras" mas
querade and in all probability this
will take place on February 9th.
Anniversary
A highly interesting matter to be
discussed this evening is the clubs
anniversary celebration which was,
according to the new order, due to
fall during next month and plans
were being prepared accordingly.
However, there are many members
who feel that the original date of
organization should remain official.
Considering the complete change
that the club has undergone recently,
there is ample justification for both
schools of thought. This may de-
velop into a very unique arrange
ment Of having two official anniver-
saries every year. This is not al
together impossible because some Of
the original founders of the Franco
American Social club have often
voiced their desires of bringing the
older French residents to a yearly
social reunion at the club. It was
the topic Of conversation among the
older folks who attended the clubs
New Year celebration.
That celebration was acclaimed
one Of the greatest social successes
which the club has enjoyed since its
original foundation OF 20 years
ago. Approximately 240 people at
tended the dinner-dance without
being crowded, on the main floor of
the building, and fully $50 square
feet OF floor space was left for the
dancers.
~. Committees .-5., a.
The committee in charge of this
affair was headed by Armand w.
Blanchard as general chairman and
those In charge Of seating arrange
ments were Wilfred Brodeur, Arthur
Noel, the clubs president, and Will
fred Bernier. Philip Russell had
complete charge Of the food.
While no member has any finan-
cial investment in the club, a score
of them have made heavy labor and
service contributions, aside from
their cash donations in the fall of
1885 and first part Of 1886, and feel
exceedingly well pleased with the
results Of their efforts.
The temporary lack Of interest of
the French people In the club which
was caused by general Indictment
economic weather have suddenly
changed and the resultant adverse
effects of the depression have been
completely eradicated. 1t is now
firmly re-established as a social
rendezvous for the French popula-
ton of Waterbury and the excep-
tionally large active membership
obviously Intends to bend still great
er efforts to build their club into
an institution which will lend its
requisite share to the civic life Of
Waterbury.
Reports
Reports Of the years social prog
ress will be made by President Noel
at the Wednesday evening meeting
and a report on the organizations
financial standing will be rendered
by Euloge A. Delage, one of the
clubs auditors. The meeting will
start at 1880 o'clock and afterward
two hours will be devoted to bingo
playing under the direction of the
clubs bingo enthusiast, Aphonse
Robichaud.
