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.
His picture was published p the New
York arid ''Philadelphia' papers, but as
time wore on the mystery, of his parent
age deepened. Ha" -waa committed to St.
Christopher's Methodist Episcopal Home
for Children at Dobbs Ferry, N. Y., In
October of the same year as John Doe",
No. 104, alias Austin McCleary.
The .blue eyes a,nd flaxen hair of the
boy, cdtmted with hl excellent manners,
attracted Mrs. Shepard on a visit to the
honeiti pj fppKjtym to her estate on. a
visit in February, when he was compelled
to remain, for some weeks because' of a
mild1 attartk ofchlcken pox. The boy's
charms, stole her affections during the
enforced s)t 4 i - .
BOY BROUGHT JIERE.
The s'torj of how mdrtey and time were
not spared bi the .search for the young
ster's" pa'ferits after Mr.- and -Mrs. Shep
ard became Interested In him was told
tod3ynyl3i3,eph -MacGregor Mltcheson,
an attorney In the Stock Exchange Build
ing, who represented Mr. Shepard. After
a psvchologlst, who went ' to live with
the boy, had determined beyond a rea
sonable doubt that he was well-born, the
mysterious "John Roe, 104" was brought
to this city and placed In charge of Mr.
Mltcheson last January, The attorney
engaged Hatnpton G. Sllcox, of 1322
Huntine Park avenue, a former Investi
gator for the Philadelphia Rapid Transit
Company. Sllcox and the boy were al
most' Constantly In each otherts company
for two weeks, during which they visited
many houses on Broad street, some "wlf
gwass around them," as the boy had
described his home, and some "wlf brick
in front," as he described It at other
times. One big house on North Broad
street attracted his attention and he
Identified it as his home. But he was
mistaken.
"When taken to an ear specialist's of
fice to have his ears, treated he showed
amazing familiarity with the equipment
of tho office," said Mr, Mltcheson. "This
led to an Investigation of ear specialists'
offices In the hope he would bo Identified,
but without result. The. boy has excep
tional mental development -and displays
wonderfully good breeding. There is no
doubt In my mind that he comes from an
excellent family."
Mr. Shepard received today the con
gratulations of many friends on the crea
tion 7ft Pulley's, Shepard, Jr.
ADOPTION NO "EXPERIMENT."
"The lad Is our son In every sense uf
the word," he said, "Our adopting him
Is In no sense an 'experiment.' We
adopted the boy because we love him and
because we wanted to have a boy. He
will be my heir.
"We didn't really 'discover' Flnley. Jr.
He was found by our little nieces (Mar
garet, 14, and Dorothy, 12. daughters of
Frank Gould), Ab I remember It, about
six months ago the girls came back from
a visit to the home fairly bubbling over
with Joy at having found the boy. They
picked him out of the 200 or 300 other
children and finally drew Mrs. Shepard
and myself to see him, We fell In love
with hjnxat first sight, .and In the last six
rrionthsThe hag.'spent.much of the time at
our home, .
"I engaged many private detectives to
trace, if possible, his parents. They tried
for months to flnd out 'something of his
past life and railed. Personally, I believe
the parents are dead."
Mr Shepard said he anticipated no
trouble about possible relatives of the
boy. He Intimated that they were pre
pared to light any attempts to take him
away from them, and hinted that It was
a criminal offense for parents to aban
don a child as young Flnley was left on
the steps or fit. Patrick's Cathedral.
WILL HAVE EVERY ADVANTAGE.
The boy will have every advantage I
n give him. But there will be no molly
dating or anything like that. He Is, I

''JMt now he's a regular young botan-
( 1st. He spends most of his time out of
doers', chasing butterflies and collecting
leaves.'
Shepard was asked whether he planned
a railroad career for the boy,
"No, not especially," he said. "Both
Mrs. UhsjMrd and myself believe a youth
sitMild feiiew his natural beat. Of course,
I would be !' to have him select a
railroad eareer. hut that is to a large
extrat up to hhn."
As s possible eeltoga to which Flnley,

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.

"DAISIES WON'T TELL," SMITH'S
OLD SONG, TRUE AS EVER TODAY
Organization Candidate's Campaign Button, Wreathed
in Daisies, Explained by .Romance of the Good
Old Postoffice Days
By FRANKLIN
The Smith button Is n dainty little
white circle, edged with a wreath of
daisies. 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.
TWINS DIE AND THIRD
CHILD NEAR DEATH
Intestinal Complaint, the Na
ture of Which Puzzles
Hospital Physicians
Two children of Mr. and Mrs. Daniel
J. O'Brien, 1153 Lawrence street, Cam
den, are dead and another Is dying at
Cooper Hospital from Inflammation of
the intestines caused by eating something
the nature of which physicians have not
yet determined.
The dead children were twins, one year
old. Edward J, O'Brien died last Mon
day. Margaret, the other twin, died early
today at the hospital. The other child Is
three-year-old Catharine O'Brien. Phys
icians say she cannot recover. The mother
Is on the verge of prostration.
The twins were taken to the hospital
early last Sunday upon the advice of the
family physician. A few hours later the
older child became 111 and also was sent
to the Institution. Physicians diagnosed
the disease as gastro-lntestlnal intoxica
tion. With the twins It had progressed
to such a stage that It was Impossible to
save their lives.
Everything possible Is being done for
the 3-year-old girl. If she dies it Is
feared that the shock to her mother will
be serious, Mrs, O'Brien is now under
the care of a physician as the result of
the death of the twins. O'Brien Is a
motorman In the employ of the Publlo
Service Corporation.

In a dream I fancied
You were by my aide,
While I gathered daisies,
One long chain you tied;
Round us both I wound it,
Close I held you, too;
Daisies never tell, dear,
Make that dream come true.
Cho. Daisies won't tell, dear, etc.
Daisies won't tell. What won't they
tell? Why won't they tell? How won't
they tell? When won't they tell? Ah,
lovers, you know, ' you know. For In
stance, this silent Mr. Smjth, faithful to
a dream, won't tell Just what the Organi
zation Is going to do about a lot of things
If the message of the daisies Is fulfilled
In a perfect marriage on November 2,
when, If Mr. Smith has his way, tho
whole world shall see him wedded to his
Ideal, bound for life.
Daisies won't tell whether common folk
shall pay 8 cents or 6 cents for a rldo In
the trolley cars. They have daintier nnd
tenderer things to, think about. Neither
will Mr. Smith tell. He says only Ignor
amuses will decide such things In a
hurry, that Is to say, after the months
and months, nay, after tho more than two
yoars that tho Issue has been before tbe
public.
Daisies won't tell and neither will Mr.
Smith-but enough; hear another version
of the old song:
It's the same old itory
You have heard before;
Here among the gangsters
Smith will tell it o'er;
Only vote for me, boys,
For I love you well;
I'll answer with fat jobs, boys,
Bosses never tell.
Bosses never tell boys, come join us,

Jim dearly loves me, Ed's faithful,

And I will promise the Varcs, too,

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.
