MISS DE JANON IS
. FOUND 111 CHICAGO
Eloping Heiress and Cohen, the
Waiter, Arrested in a Cheap
Room'ng House
POSED AS FATHER AND GUILD
Dog That the Girl Insisted on Taking
Along Lesds to Arrest of Rich Phila
delphian's Daughter and Man with
Whom She Fled.
Chicago, .Inn. 13. Roberta do .Tn
on, the Philadelphia heiress, and her
frieud and admirer. Frederic Cohen,
the I!el!evuo-Stratford waiter, with
whom she eloped on December "9,
were captured by the police here and
held awaiting the arrival of officers
from Philadelphia.
They had travelled for thousands
of miles, Jumping from city to city, In
the I'nlted States and Canada, In an
effort to elude the police and detec
tives put on their trail by the sixteen-year-old
girl"s wealthy grandfather.
The end came in a squalid boarding
house room ut No. 08 Superior street,
on the North Side, where the couple
had been doing the lightest sort of
ginger cookie housekeeping.
Miss He Janon and Cohen were
practically at the end of their re
sources. They reached Chicago from
Montreal and Halifax with but $1.60.
Cohen had pawned some of the girl's
Jewelry for a trifling sum, but that
had been spent.
The girl had determined to end her
life. She had written to her grand
father expressing sorrow for running
away with Cohen and declaring her
intention to jump into the lake.
It is not unlikely that Cohen, con
vinced that his young companion was
desperate und determined to suicide,
let the tip reach the police that re
sulted In their capture. It came from
Mrs. Frank Perrin, who ran the room
ing house in which they had taken
quarters, and was acted on promptly.
According to Mrs. Perrin, the pnir
were living as father and daughter.
Both protested to the police that their
relations since leaving Philadelphia
had been that of father and daughter.
Cohen, himself, traced their route
from the day they eloped out of Phila
delphia. ' They went first to New York
where they found difficulty in getting
rooms and after remaining over n'ght
went to Montreal. The news of the
elopement frightened them and they
went to St. John, New Brunswick,
where they took passage for England
on an English steamer.
Cohen said they left the steamer at
Halifax because the English ifileers
objected to carrying Tootsie, Miss de
laron's terrier, and the girl would not
?o on without the dog.
They went from Halifax to Boston
md direct to Chicago. They attract
ed little attention when they first
vent to the Superior street house, and
had since lived quietly.
When the police came to arrest
'.hem, Cohen made an emphatic pro
test, insisting that he was a barber
rom Montreal. He soon broko down,
owever, and admitted his identity,
riiss de Janon, sobbing bitterly, plead-
d with the police to restore her to
, l;er grandfather.
In the girl's possession the police
ound one remarkable letter from
'ohen to the girl, dated December 14,
i which he begged to think twice be
.'ore eloping with him.

HUGHES IN MESSAGE
CAUSJOR REFORMS
Stands by Demand for Direct Nomina
tionsWould End Dookmaklng
and White Slave Traffic.
Albany, N. Y.. Jan. 13. In two of
the most important documents sent
out from the Executive Chamber Gov
ernor Hushes called upon the State
Legislature to defeat the proposed in
come tax amendment to the federal
constitution. Again urged n law rro
viding for direct primaries and an
nounced the gift of 10,0nj acres of
land and $1,000 000 from Mrs. Mary
W. Harriman f ir n groat public park
on the Hudstr.i River.
One of the documents was the Gov
ernor's annual message to the Legis
lature. The attack on the propo ed
Income tax amendment was made th:;
subject of a special mcsr.ago. The
Governor analyzes the amendment
from a constitutional standpoint,
quoting eminent Judical opinions to
Justify his determined opposition, and
recommending that the proposed con
stitutional amendment providing for
an income tax be not ratified by t'.ie
Legislature of this state.
The Governor In the general mes
snr.e urged amendments of the Penal
Code to prevent oral betting, or book
making without the recording of bets,
and the so-called "white slave" traf
fic. A renewal of his recommenda
tion for the inclusion of all telephone
and telegraph companies under the
Jurisdiction of the Public Service com
missions was distinctly brief, even
curt. Extension of the state's agricul
tural work, the state development of
water powers and the adoption of n
more liberal forest preservation pol
icy were other features of the mes
sage which were expected by the leg
islators. Entirely new wa3 the acknowledg
ment of a gift by Mrs. E. H. Harriman
of a tract of lnnd of 10,000 acres near
her estate and $1,000,000 in cash to
acquire other land for a great state
park in the highlands of the Hudson.
In the body of the message and in an
appendix giving In detail correspond
ence between the Governor, George
W. Perkins, president of the Palisades
Park Commission, and others there
was set forth n comprehensive plan
for the acquisition cf the splendid
park, to Include most of the beautiful
territory of the Palisades region, with
a river frontage and a great roadway
along the base of the Palisades. Gifts
by John D. and William Rockefeller,
.1. Plerpont Morgan, Mrs. Sage, Miss
Helen Miller Gould, George W. Per
kiiis and others amounting to $l.f25,
000 were announced, with the declara
tion that $2,."00,000 more had been
raised. To meet this New York State
is to appropriate $2,ri00.000 to acquire
lend and build roads and to remove
the new state prison from Rockland
County to some place where It will
not interfere with this park work.
Charter revision lor New York
City, the passage of measures to as
sure more economical condemnation
proceedings, comprehensive automo
bile legislation, with a license tax:
proper legislation to provide better
compensation for injury of employees
along the lines of the report of the
Comisslon on employers' liability, the
lessening of special legislation for
municipalities and a definite system
of budget making by the state were
urged by Governor Hughes.
Other recommendations are:
That the Governor appoint a cabi
net of State administrative heads, ac
countable to him. In place of the pres
ent elective State officers. This would
require constitutional amendment.
That the New York ballot be sim
plified. Publicity of all campaign expendi
tures. Direct nominations.
That It be made a crime, with se
vere penalty, for a motorist to seek to
escape after an accident to which his
act has contributed.

His Land's Resources
HAS GAINED 330,000 AMERICANS
Declares Eighty Thousand Crossed
Line Last Year, Carrying $G5,000.000
with Them Wheat Producing Abil
ity Planning for Conservation.
Huston. Mass., Jan. 13. Sydney
Fisher. Minister of Agriculture or the
Dominion of Canada, who was the
guest of the evening at the January
banquet of tho P.eaeon Society nt the
Algonquin Club entertained the mem
bers with a glowing account of the
present condition and tho outlook for
the future of Canada's agricultural In
terests. Mr. Fisher professed to fore
see the time when the I'nlted States
will have ceased, by reason of con
gestion of population, to be the food
produc ing nation that It Is now, and '
he assured his hearers that Canada
will then be abundantly able to feed
this country.
To show how Canada Is developing
her resources, he said that in ten
years her products of agriculture have
Increased from $1GO.O')0,000 to $r.''i3.
000,000, and yet she has only tone lied
the edge of her possibilities. And al
that production Is of high cla:;s, he
added.
"Canada has 213.000.000 acres o'
available agricultural land." lie said
"yet only 12.000,000 are under crop:! r.
present, 7,000,000 acres of that tot:i
In wheat, producing annually itbo.i
1 17,000,000 bushels of No. 1 Northe; r
or hard wheat thatt Amerlcnn miller?
have to have to keep up the standard
of Minneapolis flour.
"Of the total of 213.0O.000 acres.
70,000,000 acres are capable of pro
tiue'Mg first class crops of wheat.
Three provinces in the Northwest can
produce 1,000,000,000 bushels of wheat,
or one and a half times more than the
whole I'nlted States produced last
year.
"The Immigration to Canada is
about equally divided inuring natives
of Great Britain, the Continent of Eu
rope and the United States, but the
latter are preferred. Last year 80.100
Americans went across the border,
carrying $05,000,000 to add to Cana
dian wealth. In the last five years
300,000 Americans have gone to Cana
da, carrying $200,000,000. Moreover,
owing to English conservatism, capi
talists from the United States have
been getting the cream of Canadian
Investment.
"Canada, like the I'nlted States,
has been wasting her natural re
sources in the past, but she has Feen
the folly of it nnd hopes to be able to
help the United States In the conser
vation of those resources In the fut
ure. She Is trying to make laws that
shall dlscournge tying up the natural
resources beyond the control of the
people, nnd endeavoring to provide
that some of the profits of those re
sources In future generations shall go
to the people instead of going exclu
sively to fatten the pocketbooks of In
dividual exploiters. She is also trying
to plan her systems of transportation
so that the people will get a fair share
of the great agricultural wealth of the
country.
"Canada Is creating an army and n
navy, which will not be a menace to
the United States, however, but
through the co-operation of the mili
tary and naval forces of Great Britain
nnd the United States will help to
compel a world pence."

MESSAGE ON EVILSlF
RA!LWAYSANO TRUSTS
President Demands Legislation Pro
hibiting Roads from Acquiring
Interest In Competing Lines.
Washington, Jan. 13. Monopoly
and predatory combinations must i,
restrained and punished until all un
just competition Ih ended, says I'rtsl.
dent Taft In a Joint message to Cuu.
gresn embodying his views on the in.
tcrstate commerce law and the Sher
man antitrust law.
In order that there may ho no con
trariety of decision In caseR appealed
by corporations to the different Unit,
ed Slates district courts from orders
of tho Interstate Commerce Commis
sion, he recommends the establish
ment of n court of the United States,
to bo known as the "United Slates
Court of Commerce," to which r,p.
peals may bo taken. Ho would have
this court composed of five Judges
designated from among the Circuit
Judges of the United States.
Tho President recommends that tho
court shall Fit at Washington. Tim
establishment of the Commerce Comi
will necessitate tho nppolntnienl of
five additional judges, who may l,
distributed to the circuits where there
Is the greater volume of business.
The President recommends that the
Interstate Commerce Law ho amend,
ed so that hereafler no railroad coai
pany doing Interstate business Khali
directly or indirectly ncqulro lnttvo;!.s
of ary kind In any railroad or com or
ation competing with it.
For the protection of minority
stockholders he recommends a pro
viso that such prohibition shall i.ot
operate to prevent any corporatin.i
now owning not less than one-half 'in
entire outstanding capital stock In any
other railroad company from acquir
ing all the remainder of such st'k.
Any company opernting a 'railroad 'in
der ler.se executed for a term of not
lets than twenty-five years shall have
reversionary ownership of the do
mised railroad.
The President recommends legisla
tion to prevent future over issue of
storks and bonds by Interstate car
riers. In Industrial combinations called
trusts, the President says, the Inter
state and foreign business far ex
ceeds tho business done in nny one
State. This fact, he rays, will Justify
granting of federal charters to s. ch
combinations under such limitations
as will secure compliance with the
anti-trust law.
To this end he recommends a grant
ing of federal law for the charters to
corporations engaged in Interstate
commerce, protecting them from un
title Interference by the State nnd re
lying on national suprrislon to pre
vent abuses which have arisen under
State rontrol.
Such a lnw would subject the real
and personal property only to the
same taxation as Is imposed by tho
States and would require complete
reports to be filed at regular Inter
vals. Holding companies will be for
bidden. The President declares the Sher
man Anti-trust Lnw does not need
amendment, and that the series of de
cisions by the Supremo Court rentiers
a strong reason for leaving the act as
it la.
The public, the President says,
must disabuse itself of the idea that
any distinction between "good trusts"
and "bad trusts" can be Introduced
Into the statute.
The President declares that mono
polies must be restrained and punish
ed until ended.
