Washington, June 19.—The basis of ®» complete agreement on the meat in- spection legislation between Presi- dent Roosevelt and the house com- mittee on agriculture was arrived at at the White House. Speaker Cannon mepresented the committee in this fnstance and subsequently spent some time explaining the situation to the eommittee in its room at the capitol. | The bill was practically completed when the committee adjourned. It will authorize an annual appro- priation of $3,000,000 to pay the cost of inspection and will contain no provision for the levy of an assess- ment to make up any deficiency in the amount available for this work, as suggested by Mr. Cowan, representing the Texas cattle growers, and later urged by the president. The court review provision will not Pe contained in the measure. This action meets the suggestion of the president. The words “in the judg- ment of the secretary of agriculture” will not be contained in the measure. This action meets the suggestion of | the president. | The section waiving the civil service | Raw for one year in the selection of in- | spectors will go out of the provision, | also one of the president's recommen- dations. There is to be no date on the label of $he packing of meat food product. In this the president yields to the commit- tee. The language which gives inspec- | tors the right to the packing plants at | all times is amplified by the words “whether the same be in operation or sot.” JEWS MASSACRED IN RUSSIA Mebrew Anarchist Threw Bomb Into Christians and Many Were Killed.

JOHN J. K_AN Tde KIDNAPPER Philadelphia, June 19. — Freddie | Muth. the 7-year-old son of Jeweler | Charlcs Muth, who was kidnapped | jvom the Jliuhlenburg public school | iat Tuesday, was found in 2 vacant | nouse and returned to his grief- | stricken parents. John Joseph Kean, , member of a respectable New York | family, ome time bookkeeper of the | Harlem bank, a stock broker, and | more recently a real estate agent, is | the abductor. Driven by the commis- gion of a comparatively small offense to the heinous crime of child stealing, | he occupies a cell in the central po- | lice station, with life imprisonment | staring him in the face. Replete with | dramatic incidents from its inception, the climax of the abduction was sen- | sational to a degree. The kidnapper was taken at the point of a pistol only after he had been fired upon and when he realized that escape was im- possible. Kean is a married man and the father of three children. He gave as his reason for abducting the Muth boy that he needed money. From the day of the kidnapping until the arrest Kean had kept the child in three vacant houses in West Philadelphia. Meantime the entire detective and police force of this city | were conducting an unremitting | search, and the authorities of other cities had been furnished with a de- scription of the boy and his captor, with instructions to keep a lookout for the pair. Had No Confederate. Captain Donaghy, of the local de- tective force, however, was convinced that Kean and the child were in the | city, the evidence of this being in the | five letters which the kidnapper sent | to Mr. Muth negotiating for the re- | turn of the boy. All of these, with the exception of one received from Wilmington, Del, were mailed in the central district of Philadelphia. The Wilmington letter, the police say, | Kean denies having written, although he refers to it in a subsequent com- munication. It is hinted that this mis- sive was mailed by a woman, but the ! police declare that Kean had no con- federates in the abduction. The first information that Kean and hig captive were in the vicinity in which the arrest was eventually made came from Joseph Sager, a baker at 60th street and Haverford avenue, who told a policeman last week that he had seen a man and boy answering the description of the pair in an oyster saloon at 6013 Haverford ave- nue shortly after inidnight last Wed- nesday. Special Officers Clare and Vale were immediately detailed upon the case and instructed to remain in that neighborhood until further or- ders. They immediately began a search of all the vacant huses in the neighborhood, and their search led them to the very house occupied by the abductor and the child. The dwellings were so constructed, how- ever, that by means of a rear shed Kean was able to elude the police by climbing into the back windows of two adjoining houses, which were also unoccupied. A second investigation resulted in the recovery of the boy and the arrest of the kidnapper. Sager, the baker, was acquainted with Kean, and the police were thus enabled to obtain his address. They visited his home and learned from his wife that he had not been there with her knowledge since last Monday, the day previous to the abduction. She stated, however, that he had evidently crept into the house, as a pillow, an overcoat and a cape were missing. With this clue to work on, the police redoubled their efforts. They were certain of the identity of the man, but all doubts in this direction were re- moved when Charles J. Cooke, a real estate dealer, appeared at headquar- ters with a complaint that John Jo- seph Kean, who had acted as collector and agent for him, had embezzled £400. Specimens of his handwriting were shown the police, and they were found to be identical with the writing in the letters which the abductor had begun sending to Mr. Muth. Found Boy On Roof of House. Special Officers Clare and Vale again instituted a search of the va- cant houses in their district, and they paid another visit to the dwellings 423, 425 and 427 North 62d street. When Vale reached the third floor of No. 425 he observed Freddie Muth etanding on the rear shed of No. 427. He called to him, saying: “Hello, Freddie.” Fired On Kidnapper. Freddie said ‘ ‘Hello,” and imme- diately began to cry. Vale leaped through the window and stepped across the roof to the adjoining house. He was just in time to see Kean hurrying down the stairs. Drawing his revolver he fired at the fleeing man, but missed. He crawled through the window and followed, catching up with Kean as the latter was making for the front door. The policeman again pointed his re- volver at the kidnapper, who threw up his hands, crying: “I surrender.” The child in the meanwhile had followed the pair and reached the first floor as the arrest was made. The kidnapper and his captive were hastened to the nearest police station and from there Jakgn in a patrol wagon to the city kL The news of the capture had reached the centre of the city, and when the prisener and the boy arrived at the city hall a great crowd had gathered. Kean, white with fear, trembled so that he could scarcely walk, and begged the de- tectives not to kill him. With the boy, he was taken into Mayor Weaver's office, and the mayor immediately communicated by tele- phone with Mr. Muth, who hastened to the Mayor's office, and the meeting be- tween father and child was most affect- fiz. Vhen his father had ceased to hug and caress him, Freddie drew sev- eral mall coins from his pocket and ghowed them to Mr. Muth, saying in ais childish way that the man had riven them to him. Was Not lil Treated. The child bore no evidence of {ll treatment beyond lack ~f sufficient nourishment. He had ben fed on bread and milk which Kean had stolen from doorsteps. When found he held a couple of crusts of bread in his hands and his school book was under his arm. He had not been washed since his ab- duction, and his face was smudged, while his jacket was much soiled from sleeping on the dirty floor of the house. Kean never left him alone until he was asleep. Not since the abduction eof Charlie Ross has this community been so wrought up by the commission of a criminal act. The newspapers, in order to aid the police in tracking the kid- napper, were compelled to publish mis- leading stories for the purpose of throwing Kean off his guard. In the letters which the kidnapper wrote to Mr. Muth he threatened to kill the boy if his demands were not met. He de- manded that Mr. Muth tell the police a fictitious tale about the disappearance of his son in order that the detectives might be withdrawn. His letters were answered by Captain Donaghy through the “personal” columns of the news. papers, and apparently all of his de- mands were granted. The reward of $1000 offered by the father of the boy was accepted by Kean, and as a test he sent a letter to Mr. Muth requesting him to send $200 to a certain address, the remainder to be paid later. An- other letter commanded Mr. Muth to place the money in the engine shed of an engineering operation in the centre of the city. The police were on hand to arrest Kean if he should appear, but the letter was received so late that when the police arrived at the point Kean, if he had been there, had left. Kean promised in the letter to send the boy to his aunt, Mrs. Becker, at New Brunswick, if the money was forthcoming. Was In Financial Straits. Kean told the police in his statement that he abducted the boy primarily to secure the $400 he had embezzled from Charles J. Cooke. In addition, he said, he is in debt, with no means of pro- viding for his family. He said he never intended to harm the boy, and declared the statements he made in his letters to Mr. Muth that the child was being dosed with whiskey were untrue, He kept Freddie quiet by giving him candy and pennies, he said. Previous to kidnapping the Muth child, he had attempted unsuccessfully to abduct Louis Kolasky, a 6-year-old boy, whose parents he believed were well-to-do. Kean's parents live at 967 Park ave- nue, New York. His brother is to be ordained to the priesthood this month. It developed after Kean's arrest that he had stolen $20,000 from the Harlem Bank, New York, when he was book- keeper in 1894. He admitted the theft. Crowd Cheered Little Fellow. Freddie, with his books still under his arm, was welcomed home by more than 1000 persons. Mr. Muth had gone to City Hall, and Mrs. Muth, who had been prostrated by the crime, rose from her bed to welcome her child. Despite efforts of relatives to detain her, she insisted upon wait: ing at the front door until the crowd had swelled to more than 1000 per- sons. Then she withdrew into the house, and shortly afterward a car riage with the boy and his father drove up to the house. The crowd cheered as the little fellow was hur- ried into the house and into his mother's waiting arms. The scene within the home was far more affect- ing than the meeting between father and son in the mayor's office, and while the mother was listening to the child's story the house was closed to all callers. Cried For His Mamma. Later reporters were permitted to question the boy, but he seemed too much dazed to give a connected story of his adventures. In answer to ques- tions, the child said: “The man took me on one car and then on another and put me in a house where there were no chairs. He locked the door. I was afraid and cried. He told me to stop crying, as I would soon see my mamma. I cried all the time and went to sleep. The man folded a coat and put it under me. The next day in the day time he brought bread and milk and some oysters. [I cried again, and the man said I would see mamma soon. That day he went out to get something and locked the doors. I went to a window and saw some boys and ladies looking up at me. I tried to lift the window to talk to them, but the man came back. He closed the shutters and told me to stay away from the win- dows. I asked him why he was hid- ing, and he said the police were after me. I got awfully frightened. Two or three times we heard noises down stairs, and the man took me on the roof and we went into the next house. The man said they were policemen. The man gave me pennies and told me not to make a noise. We were go- ing some place when a lot of men and policemen caught the man.” Mr, Muth said that he did not know Kean and had never seem him uniil Monday.
