MISSING WOMAN HOME AGAIN. Mrs. Witherall Rescued From Kidnapers. Los Angeles, Jan. 21.?Mrs. Gladys Witherell, for whom search had continued nearly a week, was at home tonight after rescue today from a sheep herders' cabin in the foothills, and "Jack" Carr and Floyd L. Carr, cousins, are in custody on a charge .of kidnaping. The cousins tonight confessed to kidnaping Mrs. Witherell, who is the wife of O. S. Witherell, investment company president, and pleaded guilty to the charge in the superior court today. Sentence was deferred until next Wednesday morning. The cousins came here three months ago, "Jack" Carr said, and had taken most of that time preparing for "revenge" on the fatherin-law of Mrs. Witherell, because he had once "blocked a deal" whereby Floyd Carr could have gotten a fish ing yacht, according to the police. "We sure treated her all right," the police said "Jack" Carr told them. "We even bought her a powder puff, candy and the daily papers." Mrs. Witherell bore up well until after she was reunited with her child. Then she suffered a nervous collapse. Through her husband, she gave out a brief story of her abduction. It follows: "I was getting dinner last Tuesday night?Mother Witherell was coming over?when he, the man I learned later was Floyd Carr, same to the door, saying some one was calling for me?a woman hurt in an accident in the boulevard. I had never seen him before, but I thought my husband's mother had been hurt, so I went with him. "We^got into a machine down the street. Another man, who I found out afterwards was Arthur Carr, wras at the wheel. I rode in the back seat with the one who came to the house. "We turned on the boulevard. I was wondering how soon we would get to the scene of the accident. "They did not say much an(J suddenly I knew something was wrong. I tried to jump out, but one of them .grabbed me. I felt a wet rag around my face. I smelled the odor of choloroform. I struggled as long as I could. Then I knew nothing. "I came to just before we reached the cabin, where they kept me. "They told me they were after money. I realized I must wait my chance to escape. The next day they let me write to my husband just to say I was all right. They told me afterward they sent my letter with theirs, demanding $20,000 to let me go. "No, they did not hurt me. When they took me out of the house for fresh air, they blindfolded me. Floyd Carr was with me most of the time. They brought me the papers. I did some of the cooking. I was wild to do anything besides wait, wait, wait. I could not sleep, I was so worried about the baby?he had not been well?and my husband and all my family." NEGROES HEAR COOLIDGE. Tells Them to Look to Southerners for Guidance. Atlanta, Jan. 29.?Cooperation between negroes and southern whites in working for the uplifting of the nocrn rar?p was nrsred here tonight in an address at a negro church by Calvin Coolidge, vice president-elect. Mr. Coolidge told his audience of almost one thousand Atlanta negroes that white people of the north had . done much for them in money and in educators sent them, that southerners had done even more and asked that they keep in mind and appreciate the work of their white neighbors in their behalf. He urged conscientious effort on the part of the negro to better his condition. Vice President-elect Coolidge was introduced by Governor Dorsey, who was presented to the audience by T. W. Holmes, a negro attorney. Mrs. Coolidge accompanied the vice president-elect and was presented with a "bouquet of roses from the negro women of Atlanta. Mr. and Mrs. Coolidge left tonight for Spartanburg, en route to Asheville, N. C. COURT IN UPROAR. Bullet Fired Through Window While Case is Being Tried. New York, Jan. 28.?The Essex market police court was thrown into confusion today when a bullet was fired through the window, passing over the heads of an assistant district attorney and the magistrate, and finally embedding itself in the wall near the magistrate's bench. The court was hearing the case of Harry Cohn, arrested January 10 with Benjamin Weinstein, who is charged with maltreating Carolina Gray, of Roanoke, Va. The girl was testifying at he time the bullet passed through the room. TAX RESOLUTION NOT DECIDED. Governor May Veto Measure if Passed by General Assembly. | Columbia, Jan. 30.?The eternal question of taxes has not yet been settled and neither has the proposition to extend the time for paying these taxes which has so far caused more trouble in the general assembly than any other question. Both branches have adopted resolutions extending the time, the house providing for a sliding scale of penalties of 1 per cent, in January, 2 per cent, in February and 3 per cent, in March, and the senate for only 1 per cent, for the entire time from January 1 to April 1/ but 7 per cent, after April 1. The matter of a compromise is now in free conference and it is believed that the will of the senate will have to give in considerably before the house will be satisfied. While the question is still in the air it is being talked around that the governor will take the bill by the horns and veto any resolution extending the time for paying taxes without penalties. The governor is said to be against the plan where no penalties are provided, as it is most likely to seriously hurt the credit of the state and at the same time be unfair to the 50 per cent, or more of the people who have paid their taxes. Comptroller General Duncan is also said to be against such a plan and a large number of county treasurers have pointed out that to delay the payment of taxes much longer will seriously cripple the counties. ^ ie? ? The Pioneers' "Prairie Bunk." The necessity of finding a more convenient and comfortable place than the ground upon which to sleep produced the "prairie bunk." This one legged bedstead, now a piece of furniture of the past, was improvised by the pioneer in a unique manner. A forked stake was driven into the ground at a proper distance for the corner of the room and upon its poles, usually of hickory, were laid reaching from each wall. These poles where they touched the walls rested in the openings between the logs or were driven into auger holes. Upon these poles slats of clapboard were placed, or linden bark was interwoven from pole to pole. Sometimes an old fashioned "cord bed" wras made by using basswood bark for the cord. On this framework the housewife spread her straw tick or piled the luxurious mound of her home made feather bed. Such a sleeping place wa? usually known as -a "prairie bedstead," but sometimes it was called a "prairie rascal." ' BURN WAY OUT OF JAIL. Four Boys Gain Liberty?Three Are Captured: Laurens, Jan. 23.?Four white boys who had been held at the county jail for some days on different charges burned their way to liberty while the sheriff was in Columbia on official business. Three of the young prisoners have been recaptured. The names of the boys and the charges against them are as follows: Floyd Outzs, housebreaking and lar ceny near Kinard, Leonard Garner, housebreaking and larceny at Lydia Mill, near Clinton; Ed Finley and Ansel Holtzsclaw escaped prisoners from the reformatory at Florence. The escape from the Laurens'jail was made by burning a hole in the ceiling of the room in which they were incarcerated, and through this exit they made their way to the top and there broke out the skylight, passed out on the roof and completed the escape by sliding down the lightning rods at the side of the jail building. The sleet and snowstorm was raging, thus giving the boys a good opportunity to carry out their little enterprise unnoticed and undisturbed. Outzs and Finley were found in a freight car ready to leave town when the train pulled out, without concern as to what direction or schedule. Holtzclaw wa3 caught at Clinton and is back in jail, while Garner is still at large. It is stated that he had been paroled after serving a year of a three-year sentence in the state penitentiary. An officer from Florence came up and carried his two charges back to the reformatory. Silver and Gold Fowls. London.?Experiments in the department of geneties at Cambridge of mating domestic fowls, one sex of gold and the other of silver marked plumage, brought interesting results. When a silver hen was mated with a golden cock, all of the sons were silver and all the daughters gold. A silver cock transmitted the silver factor both sons and daughters. mi ?
