LITTLE "LOSTED" BOY HEIR TO MILLIONS Continued from rage One magically trnnafprmed from n waif, with a number Instead of a name. Into the heir pf millions? Who la thla rich little poor boy? ' ASLEEP ON CHURCH STEPS At midnight on September 12, 1914, a policeman passing St. Patrick's Ca thedral, on 5th avenue, New York, found a little boy, about four years old and dressed In a blue sailor suit, sleeping on the step. His eyes were red with cry ing when the policeman awoke him. The boy was taken to a police station and the name Austin McCleary waa found ewed In his clothing. He said he lived at 684 or 63 Broad street, Philadelphia, and that he had a sister named Gwendolyn Mary, No trade was fouhd of his parents by the police lit the addresses' given.

FRENCH REPULSE NIGHT ASSAULTS AT GIVENCHY; ALSO ON S0UCHEZ LINE Germans Maintain Continuous Bombardment of Positions Lost at Tahure and Le Mensil MINE DESTROYS OUTPOST PARIS, Oct. 23. Repulse of night attacks by the Ger mans In two sections of tho ArraB region Is announced in today's official report, issued by the French War Ofllce. The ofllcial communique follows: "The enemy last evening nttempted without a particle of success an attack against the salients east nnd southwest of Glvenchy fort. He was likewise re pulsed very easily In the valley of Souchez, where he was attempting to advance. "In Champagne the bombardment by the Germans continued very violently to the west of Tahure, to the east of the butte of Le Mesnll and In the region of VUle-Sur-Tourbe. We everywhere an swered this cannonade with heavy fire which was seen to have a marked effect on the German batteries and trenches. "The explosion of one of our mines in the Argonne blew up and completely destroyed ono of the enemy's posts. "A squadron of our aeroplanes have bombarded the German aviation park at Ounel, between the Argonne" and fthe Meuse." ' U. S. REGIMENT SENT' TO MEXICAN BORDER Continued from race One over the raids by the Mexicans, which are of such a nature that they cannot control them. All that can be done Is to wait for the bandits and kill as many of them as possible. Pressure Is expect ed to be brought to bear on the Texas authorities to have a formal request made for tho establishment of a military zone, and so soon as this 1b done a gen eral round-up will be attempted. General Funston all along has favored permitting the troops to cross the river and follow up the bandits In Mexican territory. The State Department, how ever, has positively refused permission on the ground that It would be an "un pardonable Invasion" of Mexican terri tory, so that the troops on the border are hampered from both sides. It Is expected that so soon as the 28th arrives at Harllngen, It will be distri buted along the Wo Grande, at the various points where the Mexicans have been In the habit ot crossing the river. Then the cavalry can co-operate and those on the American side can be rounded up. The War Department still was without word today whether the bandits now operating In the Brownsville district, who were responsible for the killing of three American soldiers and the wound ing of eight others yesterday, actually were Vllllsta soldiers, as has been charged. The raiders In the past have been malcontents from the Carranza army, and General Funston has been asked whether this still holds true. Army officers, who are familiar with the border conditions, say the situation will continue to grow worse as the sol diers of both Villa and Carranza, who have been fighting for loot, will now de sert and run campaigns on their own account. They look for a lengthy series of raids along the border, which will test the entire strength of the regular army to control and stamp them out. TWO JI0RE DEAD MEXICANS' FOUND NORTH OF RIO GRANDE Believed Killed in Fight at Ojo De Agua BROWNSVILLE, Tex., Oct, 22. Bodies of two more Mexicans, who are supposed to have been killed In the fight between Mexican raiders and United States troops near Ojo De Agua yesterday, were found In the mesqulte brush north of the Itlo Grande today, according to word from Hidalgo, seat of Hidalgo County.

In the centre of which appears. In exquisite good taste and with the tnstlcst kind of simple tenderness, tho magtq nnme of Smith. The Smith referred to Is, of couise, Thomas n. Smith, the Republican Or ganization's candidate for Mayor. Now, there was some mystery about this button. Numbers of persons wanted to know about it, but didn't Ilko to ask. They felt bashful about It, because It was too much llko asking a girl what It wa3 she was wearing on the third fin ger of her left hand. It seemed that Mr. Smith was well, engaged to some mystic personality who was very fond of daisies. Her secret came out today. Romance must have Its day, but there comes a time when the world must know. She Is the Organization, and she Is very fond of daisies. Because why? Well, you see, It was this way: about the time that she and Mr. Smith were walking out together on Postolllce Plaza there came out a new song. (It Is old now, that song, but there's-nothing like the old songs, there's nothing like tra la la la, etc.). This sweet song went (and still goes) like this: There's a sweet old story You have heard before, Here among the daisies Let me tell it o'er; Only say you love me For I love you well; Answer with a kiss, dear, Daisies never tell. Chorus. Daisies won't tell, dear, Come, kiss me, do; Tell me you love me, Say you'll be true, And I will promise Always to be Tender and faithful, Sweetheart, to thee.

Ilockefcller and half a score of other directors of the corporation, Indicted for conspiracy to violate the Sherman law, showed that in the absorption of tho New York, Providence nnd Boston Hall road, one of Its most formidable rivals, the New Havch, increased its capital stock only $5,000,000 and leased the road. june aeai was eueciea By iraaing me new lorx, iTuviaence unu juaion stock holder's New Haven stock on a share-for-share basis. This transaction was approved by the Rhode Island Legislature. FORGING THE CHAIN. Tho Government, through the testimony of Charles S. Mellen, former president of the New Haven Railway, today began to forgo the real links In the chain of evidence by which It hopes to convict Rockefeller and his fellow, defendants of monopolizing transportation lines of New England. Following the detailing of how the New Haven, by tho so-called agreement, choked out the Now Haven and New Eng land Railway, Its most powerful rival. In 1892, the Government today Bhowed how the New Haven swallowed up the Boston and Maine, the New York, Provldenco and Boston, tho Providence and Wor cester and Providence and Stonlngton Steamboat line. This was followed by the reading from the minute books of the record of tho so-called "sound agreement," the com bination of the New Haven, the Old Col ony Steamboat Line, the old Colony Railway, the New York, Providence and Boston Railway, tho New York and New England Railway and other rail and water lines between New York and New England points, to fix and control freight rates. ATTORNEYS IN FIERCE CLASH. This evidence, despite the bitter objec tions of R. V, Llndabury, counsel for William Rockefeller, was got before tho Jury by means of extracts from the min ute books. Identified by Mellen and read by Attorney General Frank Swacker. the entlio proceedings were marked by violent clashes and acrimonious debate between the Government attorneys and coupscl for tho New Haven directors. Raids on the Government's line of ex amination were led by Llndabury, who was ably backed up by John G. Mllburn and Delancey Nlcoll. The only weakness of the Government's case was that much ot It rested upon dead men. Figuring largely In the pro ceedings were reports and recommenda tions of the Standing Committee of the. New Haven for 1832 and 1S93, all but two of whom are now dead. LINDABURY VAINLY OBJECTS. When Swacker attempted to read the minutes covering the "sound agreement" Llndabury was ready with a long objec tion. He declared that It was tho same sort of an arrangement as was recently upheld In this same court In the Hamburg-American Steamship case. Ho further objected to the Introduction of the agreement as It was made in 1881, before the enactment of the Sherman act and long before the present defendants became directors of the New Haven. In overruling the objection Judge Hunt said: "It is a rule of law that when a set of men enter Into a conspiracy to destroy either tines or property or rights, other men who may join the group later to carry out their purposes and plans are equally guilty and subject to Indictment with tn9 original conspirators." Swacker then read the agreement, which became effective In February. 1S81, and which gave the schedule of freight rates to be charged by all the lines In the agreement, all rail, all water, and rail and water, between New York and New Haven, New London, Providence, Boston and other points. The agreement was to be terminated as soon as practicable and was not subject to renewal. Swacker read from a minute1 hook ot 1M a resolution by the New Haven dl reetora to cut e the freight business af the New York and New England Rail way under the "sound agreement" "8e far as it could be done within the to Wlleo' point.
