KIDNAPED BOY RESTORED TO HIS PARENTS The Father Paid $10,000 Ransom at Cleveland, Ohio. VEILED WOMAN GETS MONEY Little Willie Whit la, of Sharon, Pa., Tells Pathetic Story of His Captivity?Was Not 111 Treated? Visited Several Places. Cleveland, Ohio.?After an absence of four days, Willie Whitla, the eightyear-old son of J. P. Whitla, a lawyer of Sharon, Pa., who was kidnaped, was returned to his father at lie Hollenden Hotel here shortly after 8 o'clock at night. The appearance of the boy was theatrical, for he suddenly stepped r% Dovna o vonnn frnl 1 ov / * o r li UUi Ch JL a UW CfcVWAAllV' LI V I l V .* vwt which stopped in front of the hotel, and slipped nervously into the lobby, where Mr. "Whitla sat awaiting him' according to instructions from the lad's kidnapers. The boy had a pair of smoked glasses fited in front of his eyes, and the ear tabs of a large tan cap were pulled down over his ears in an apparent effort to disguise him. At the Bight of his son Mr. Whitla sprang to his feet and darted toward him. ''My son, O, my boy!" he shouted, and took the child into his arms. The crowd cheered at the sight of father and son, and motioning for quiet Mr. Whitla climbed upon a table, and, with tears rolling down his cheeks, made a short speech. "I can't make a speech, my friends," he exclaimed. "My heart is too full. I can only say that this is my son who was lost and is found. I want to thank the people of Cleveland, the press and the police for their kindness and sympathy. I never could have stood it but for the thousands of friends that came to me." While his father was speaking Willie stood beside him clasping his hand as though fearful of being separated irom Dim cLgaiu, <mu cit mc tuuwiuoiuu of Mr. Whitla's few words the crowd cheered him to the echo, again and again. Scores of men and women rushed forward to grasp the father by the hand or to grab up Willie in their arms and kiss him. The boy told this story: "It was just a little while before the geography lesson began when teacher called me to the door and said there was a man there who wanted me to go with him to see my father. "I went to the coat room with teacher and she helped me with my coat, and then I went down stairs with the man. I don't know how old he was?perhaps as old as my papa. "We went out the front walk of the school building, and there, on State street, he put me into a buggy. f " <"?T>lv r>Tio mnn Hp was 1 IlCiU nao uuij uuv uAWMi ?- -?. ehort, not so tall as you. (Here he looked up at his questioner). He had a red face and a brown overcoat, and wore a mustache, cut short. "Then we drove out of Sharon, and I asked him where I was going. We crossed the river and took the road to Warren, and all the way I kept asking where my papa was. I wasn't scared at first. "Just before we got into Warren (it was almost noon, then), the man gave me two sandwiches to eat, for I was hungry. "We stopped just outside Warren and walked into town and I got awfully tired on the way. I can't remember just how we went away from there, whether it was on the steam cars or the electrics, but I think we went to Newcastle. ~\Ca slept th?re that night, the man who took me from the school building and another, younger man, w&o didn't wear a musiacne. "The next day we went somewhere else, I don't know where. The men told me that I was sick, and that if I didn't keep quiet and say my name was Jones, they would put me in a place where everybody had smallpox, and that I would die. "I thought we came to Ashtabula to-day some time, but I don't know. I can't remember much about it all, for I was awful tired all the time, but I heard the men say Asutabula lots of times, and once or twice they said Akron. There was a woman who had me some of the time, too, but I can't remember much about her. "To-night they took me to the corner of two streets and told me to get on a street car I saw coming and say I wanted to go to the Hollenden. "I told the conductor, and he asked me my name, and I told him 'Jones,' because that was what they said to me to say. XI J -* J 4. 1 1. ~ V !*. I i\u, iuey uiu uui uuri ma uue uit. They said they would put me with a lot of sick people if I didn't do just as they said. The only trouble was that in Newcastle and in another town which I don't remember much about. We slept three in a bed, two men and me. "They didn't let me see any newspapers," he added. "Well, did you miss mamma and papa?" asked Whitla. A big hug was the answer. The interviewing of the tired little boy, safe once more in his father's arms, was ended. The negotiations for the boy's return had been conducted in the afternoon by Mr. Whitla entirely alone. He received a communication at his home in Sharon telling him that if he wanted his son back he must come to Cleveland, and that here, if he fulfilled certain conditions, he would Son's Shot Kills Father. Orin Smith, who was shot by his son William, following a quarrel at Angelica, N. Y., died at the hospital in Hornell city, where he was brought following the tragedy. The son killed himself after shooting his father. A Suicide on Her Father's Grave. Miss Tillie Meyers, twenty-four, whose father died two weeks ago, was found dead on his grave in the Catholic Cemetery at Indianapolis, Ind. She had swallowed poison. STUDENT'S DEATH FROM HAZING j Indiana Youth Left Hanging by His Ankles to Sapling. Indianapolis, Ind.?Charles Stinteon, a pupil at the White School, in White County, was strung up by the ankles to a sapling near the school and left hanging so long that he died a few hours after he was taken down. Several teachers of the school have been driven away by unruly pupils. A few days ago a new teacher was employed. He was more determined than his predecessors and whipped several rebellious bovs sap his boy again. One of these conditions was that he visit a certain drug and candy store in the east end of Cleveland, where he should meet a representative of the kidnapers and complete negotiations with him. An important part of these negotiations was the payment of the ransom by Mr. Whitla. Mr. "Whitla followed instructions to the letter. Taking an early train from Sharon he came to Cleveland, got off at the Fifty-fifth street station of the Erie Railroad, and went to Dunbar's drug store, in St. Clair street, east of Fifty-fifth street. There he met a woman. She was heavily veiled and her features could not be recognized. "Have you the money and letters?" asked the woman. Mr. Whitla produced the money, $10,000 in five and ten dollar bills. These, according to Mr. Whitla, the woman proceeded deliberately to count. Satisfied that the money was right, she then asked for the letters, and Mr. Whitla handed to her the four notes which had been received by him from the kidnapers since the removal of his son. With the money and the only direct evidence against the kidnapers in her possession, the woman turned to Mr. Whitla anil said: "Your boy is safe near his home in Sharon. You have carried out your part of the agreement and you can trust us for the rest. Go to the Hollenden Hotel and register as William Williams. Then go to the parlor and wait for a message. Your boy will be returned to you before 9 o'clock." "But is Willie well?" demanded Mr. Whitla. "Wo 1<j nil rifrVit " sniri tVi p wnman and Mr. Whitla left the store to go to the hotel and follow out her bidding. News at Sharon. Sharon, Pa. ? "Our darling son Willie has been restored to us. He is hei'e now with me at Cleveland at the Hollenden Hotel, and we will arrive home at 12.33 to-morrow afternoon. Billy is in good health and longing to see his mother." Such was the joyful message received over the long-distance telephone by Mrs. J. P. Whitla at her home in East State street at 9.58 p. m., it being the first word received here that the kidnaped boy had been recovered. This was followed by a message from Mr. Whitla to his office, and the whole town was soon rejoicing. Like a flash the news spread over the town, "Willie Whitla has been found," and prayers of thankfulness went up from every heart at the recovery of the boy they all loved so well. INDICT MAN OP MILLIONS. Jury of Pittsburg Find True Bill Against Dallas C. Byers. Pittsburg, Pa.?As the result of the Grand Jury investigation of municipal corruption the court ordered indictments against the following men: Dallas C. Byers. millionaire manufacturer; F. Griffin, cashier Columbia National Bank; Councilman John F. Klein, Councilman W. H. Weber, Councilman Charles Stewart, H. L. Bolger, hotel proprietor. The association of Dallas C. Byers in the Pittsburg graft expose comes as a surprise, as his name had not been mentioned with any publicity. Klein has already been twice convicted on charges growing out of bribery by bank officials to have banks designated city depositories. Klein has also been sentenced to pay a fine and serve a jail term for contempt, declining to testify before the Grand Jury. WATER SUPPLY FLOODS CITY. Houses Carried Away and Parkersburs. W.

The seriously injured: Mrs. John Maloney, both legs broken, hurt internally; Mrs. Kate Karnes, invalid, badly bruised and shocked; Clara Jones, colored, hurt internally.

KIDNAPERS CAPTURED -HOMEY RECOVERED Man and Veiled Woman Arrested in Cleveland, Ohio. BOY'S STORY REVEALS CAPTORS i f Miscreants Who Stole Little Willie Wliitla, of Sharon, Pa., Are in the Clutches of the Police, With $9845 of the Ransom Received. Cleveland, Ohio. ? The man who kidnaped Billie Whitla from his school at Sharon and the woman who assisted him in hiding the little chap were captured here. The police also recovered $9848.50 of the $10,000 paid as a ransom by James P. Whitla, the boy's father. The couple were caught just before 11 o'clock at night by Captain Shattuck, of the local police, and Detective Wood, of the Cleveland bureau. It is understood that Wood had been shadowing the man all day. The man and woman were walking hastily along Ontario street in the direction of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad station. Captain Shattuck grasped the man and said: "Where are you going in such haste?" The man broke from the police captain and fled. At the same time the woman made a savage attack u^on Wood, who was holding her. Shattuck ran after the man, who surrendered after two shots had been "v.?tv> tjq ofnmhlprl and fell men at uiui. iav as Shattuck fired the second time, and before he could rise his pursuer had thrown himself upon him. At the police station the woman fought savagely against being searched, but finally quieted down and accepted the situation. She appeared to be the master mind of the two, and did the talking. "You've got it now. There'll be hell to pay in Sharon when Buhl hears of this. It's the ransom all right." Neither of the prisoners would give any name and both declined tc tell anything about themselves. The woman was handed over to Matron Louise Love for examination in a search for incriminating evidence. The man readily handed over all the money he had?$58.50. The woman made a desperate fight against being searched. Another woman was called to assist tne matron. The two women threw the struggling one to the floor and searched her. Under her skirts, tied to hei body by cords, they discovered a bag. Opened, it was found to contain $979,0. The money was put up in separate packages, most of which contained $500. In her jacket pocket was some small change. In a box carried by the woman was found some clothing, new, and, shown from the sale tags to have been purchased in the Bailey Company's store, at Ontario and Prospect avenues, only three blocks from Central Police Station. It is believed that the kidnapers kept Billie in the old city pest house, now abandoned. It was searched, and nniiro anv thpv fonnd traces of re wuv> pvuvv >?w^ ? cent occupancy. The building is practically isolated in the far southeastern part of the city, and is an admirable place for the purpose to which the kidnapers put it. The boy said that his captors told him there was smallpox at his house, for which reason his father wanted him to stay away, and he also said that the woman was dressed like a nurse. This she no doubt did to deceive any one who should notice that the old pest house had tenants. The bulk of the money found on the woman was in the original packages as Mr. Whitla received it from the bank. "This is the money all right," said Captain Shattuck, after the matron had reported her find. "It is the money Whitla paid over to the woman in the afternoon. I am satisfied of that. There is no question, even though the numbers on some of the bills had not been verified already, as has been done. Why, the woman practically admits we have the right money. She said when we found it that we had the money and that there would be hell to pay in Sharon when Buhl hears of it." It appears that the capture was really brought about through information given by Willie Whitla to Mr. Whitla's friend, Charles Sankey, of this city, who returned with them to SharoD. Willie told of the signs he could see from the window of the room in which he was kept, and a detailed description of the man and woman. Telling of his arrival in Cleveland Willie said that the man took him to a house at 11 o'clock at night. They went to a second-floor room, No. 2. Immediately opposite this room was No. 17, and the man knocked at the door and the woman appeared. "Here's Mother Jonesy," he said. The woman then got supper, and soon after put him to bed. The woman was dressed as a nurse, and he was told he was in a hospital. He was mauen away 111 uie siuk. cupuuuru several .times while -there, but otherwise was well treated. The signs Willie saw from the window and which he remembered were the "Thorpses Hotel" and "San Corso," and he also saw a stone church. He was also able to tell the various street car lines that passed the house. He said that the woman told him before he left to tell his father and mother that she was middle aged, very fat, and pock-marked. French Strikers Bnck at Work. Af o moec mo.

Despatch From British East A pects For Big Game?i come to the F< Mombasa, British East Africa.? Mombasa is preparing already to welcome Theodore Roosevel^, and his coming has given a decided impetus to the interest in the present hunting season. The Governor of the protectorate, Lieutenant-Colonel Sir James Hayes Sadler, is arranging a program of welcome and entertainment for the [ distinguisnea visitor, dux m spite ui these arrangements the greeting to j Mr. Roosevelt will be more to the great sportsman, whose fame is well known to local hunters, than to the former President. East African sportsmen were highly gratified to learn that Mr. Roosevelt had refused the offer of the au<thorities to grant him a special hunting license that would have permitted him to kill game to an unlimited ex* tent instead of confining himself to the two elephants, two rhinoceroses, two hippopotami, etc., of the regular license. Lions and leopards are classed as vermin and consequently no license to kill them is required. The white population of Mombasa has heard much of Mr. Roosevelt's personality, and in a joking way frequent references to the "big stick" at-e being made. The rains are late this year, and a ViaoTTtr foil la PYnpctprl fthe reeular time for the "big rains" is from the end of January to the end of April). The prospects for good hunting thig season are considered excellent. Many of the settlers in the outlying districts, realizing the increasing interest in the prospefcts for sport because of the coming of Mr. Roosevelt, are voluntarily sending in information about the movements of game. According to a dispatch received here a record group of lions, numbering thirty-two, was seen on the Nandi plateau recently at a point about fifty miles north of Port Florence (the Nandi plateau is on the west side of* the great Rift Valley). Among them are three huge males. Four families of girafTes have been seen at Makindu, 200 miles inland from here on the line of the Uganda Railroad, and elephants have been seen at Elburgon, 475 miles inland on the railroad. MESSINA'S UN Estimated at 60,000 and I All the Bodies of th Rome, Italy.?The General in command at Messina, who is in charge of the removal of the dead, estimates the number of bodies still awaiting burial at about 60,000. Most of them lie several feet deep under the rub bish from fallen houses. The work of clearing the debris from the streets Is proceeding very slowly. Not more than 200 bodies are removed and buried on any day when the work is carried on without interruption for twelve hours. The prevailing bad weather is hampering the work greatly and often stops it, as the rain changes the debris iato soft mud, which the first sunny day hardens to the consistency of cement DR.

The "safari" kit?in other words, the camp equipment for the work in the open?is arriving from London, and all will be in readiness when Mr. Roosevelt arrives. The railroad c&r used on the line as far as Port Florence by other distinguished visitors to Uganda, such as the Duke of Mecklenburg, the Duke of Connaught, the Duke of the Abruzzi, Joseph Chamberlain and Winston Spencer Churchill, is being refitted for the use of Mr. Roosevelt. Everything points to a successful stay in British East Africa and Uganda for Mr. Roosevelt. The natives are peaceful, game is plentiful and the people of Mombasa are waiting eagerly to extend him a welcome. TAME HUNTING, SAYS ANOTHER.
