TO SEARCH FOR CHILD

Continued from Iiice One

tian streets.
Every detective nsslcncd to llnd tho
Meeklns boy feels patlHlled today that tho
kidnapper la besinnltic to show sluns of
weakening. The police expressed tho
opinion today that It wouldn't surprise
them at nil If the writer of yesterday's
letter would ultimately surrender himself
to the authorltleu or desert the boy In
some part of the city when he realizes
that his capture Is rapidly becoming In
evitable. Though the police refused to name the
Bian whom they suspect of kidnapping
the Meelclns boy, and nlso of being the
author of yesterday's missive. It was
learned that since last evening their sus
picions have been turned townrd a cer
tain person whoso hnndwrltlng Is being
cpmpared today with that of yesterday's
Bote.
EXPECT SECOND LETTER.
.Another letter from the same source
will reach the Meeklns family, the de
tectives believe. The writer of yester
day's letter, which was written on the
back of an advertisement torn from an
evening newspaper, promised that he
would write again.

Mid that his department was doing
everything possible In the way of restor

I ha was taking a personal Interest In the

tetter, Director Drlpps has Issued Instruc
tions to his secretary that he be notified
I at ence by telephone of new developments
I in the event he Is ubsent from his ofllce.
"There have been several cases of mlss-
tnff children In this city, some of whom
have been abducted for spite," said Di
rector Drlpps. "The severest penalty

i&e newspapers publish her appeal to the
I kidnappers of her child and which she
f-ennel herself. The appeal, wnicn Is aa-

NOT TALKING MUCH NOW
'His amlly life will cnu.o Joncph P.
ffultnev. who hns been elated to succeed
Edohn P. Connelly as chairman of the
. rinoncn nommlltM-. the most powerful
f- fcody In Councils, to work for the Im
provement of Philadelphia on a compre
Msntlvti scale.
' "I have a wife nnd five children," said
Mr. rlftfrnv Indnv. "and for that reason
L twill do whatever I can to make 1'hlla-
, 4elphla a better place tor tnem to live in.
.tnunnnFB that Is a selfish reason, but
yt 41 a,t ivhv nv.rr nnp wants to
Vetter conditions In his homo city."
Mr. uarrney insisieu iwu up i "'
"humble Councilman." notwithstanding
I the fact that thp Organization lenders
liavo decided to place him at the hend or
the Finance Committee, and he declined
to give his views on the Important mat
ters that will come before the Finance
Committee In tho next two years.
"There's many n Blip 'twlxt the cup
; and tho lip," ho remarked.
SILENT JUST NOW.
$ Jftln that "the wind won't change," nnd
I that Charles F Iielley, common uotm- ;

the McNIohol candidate for chairman,

would have to pass upon as finance .
chairman.
"If I nm appointed chairman of the
i Finance Committee I will be Kind to
i stale my views on any matter that comes
j ( beforo tho, Flnarice Committee," ho said.
',' "It I cannot express my own opinion, I
jWlll at least say why. At present, I am
only a numoie uounuiimun, iwni iny iu
;as a humble Councilman arc not not
wanted,"
Mr. Oaffney. however, said that whether
5he "remains a humble C' 11 " fit r
i becomes chairman of the Finance Com-
E mlttce" he will give the new Mayor nil
tho support he can In his program for
the development of Philadelphia.
THE TRANSIT PHOIILKM.
Concerning transit, which Is tho most
important matter that will come beforo
the FInnnce Committee under tho next
administration, Mr. Oaffney had this to
say:
'I have lived In South Philadelphia In
the 28th Wnrd all of my life, and the
South Broad street subway Is going to
work wonders for that section. The same
is truo of other sections of the city, I
suppose."
Mr. dafTney's opinion of the Job of
chairman of tho Finance Committee In
tho next two jeara Is this'
"It's enough to paratzp n man.
"With JM.000,000 to spend for great
public Improvements, every one will bo
watching how It Is spent Mr. Smith
has outlined n program of improvements
that will benefit the entire city. The
Finance Committee, however, will have
to bear the real burden of expending this
vast sum."
Joseph I. Onrtney Is a young man ho
Is only 35 vears old and Is a member of
one. of the most noted law firms In Phila
delphia, that of Drown, Simpson & Wil
liams. He has been associated with
Francis Shunk Brown during most of
tho time he has practiced law, and that
may bo a reason why he was selected as
the Vare candidate for chairman of tho
Finance Committee.

If you are a mother or a papa I guess
you can Imagine how I nm suffering.
Little Rtchnrd love his mnmma, I
know he does because every night be
foro he went to bed he wou'd sit In
my lap and tell me that ho loves his
mamma. If you don't believe me Just
nsk Richard about It.
My nerves are all unstrung. I feet
that I can't live much longer without
my little Richard. Unleis Richard Is
returned to me I will die, nnd that
means Richard won't have a mamma.
Ask Richard If he wants his mamma
to llvo nnd he will tell you that he
doesn't want her to die. Treat my
little boy like ou would tike others
to treat your little boy or girl.
Should you be n kind person I wish
you would kiss Richard for me. Tell
him nlso that his mamma sent him
the kisser t feet sure that some
day you will return him to me. When
Richard ns-ks for me tell him that I
am nway buying him Christmas pres
ents. Won't you brighten the heart of n
little lad by returning him safely to
his distracted mother?
Please take care of Richard, as

Mflrslir-fl and meadows In the southwest
em part of West Philadelphia were ngnln
searched today by a squad of policemen
working under the direction of Police
Lieutenant Mnrple. The searchers went
over acres of ground In the vicinity of
79th street and Elmwood avenue. This
search was Instituted by tho police nt the

Is sure ner boy wns kidnapped, resperts
the opinion of those who think her son
mny liavo wandered to that section nnd
polished after meeting with an accident.
For n little while the pollco thought to

LAND APPRAISAL OF
ELECTRIC COMPANY
Item of $2,35G,400 for Unused
Property Held Regarded
as an Exorbitant
Valuation
DEFENDED BY ENGINEER
The Incorporation of n land Item of
f2,3.V!,40O In the $31,562,015 appraisal of the
phvslnl valuation of tho Philadelphia
Kleetric Company was attached at today s
session of the hearing before the Public
Service Commission of charges by Di
rector Coolie, of the Deportment of
Public Works, ngalnst tho alleged cx
cesslvo rates and Inadequate service of
the company.
Tho Just valuation of the land was not
questioned, but tho Item wan nttacked
because It contained tho valuation of
vucntit, unused plots of ground not In
tended for Immediate use, which the
Director maintains does not yield revenue
nnd therefore should not bo Included.
The ltm, which docs not Include tho
valuation of buildings, placed nt t2,S67,X),
was dofended by William C. Ij. Uglln, sec
ond vice president and chief engineer,
who has been connected with tho com
pany since It wns organized In 1683. Ho
wns tho first company witness called for
direct examination by Ralph J. Haker,
Jr., of tho company's counsel. Frank II.
.Mnssey. n real estate denier, of 13th and
Oreen streets, who mndo the estimate of
the land vnluc, was tho second witness
called.
Joseph II, McCall. president of tho com
pany, will bo called to tako the stand
tod.iv, It Is expected.
Tho Importnnco or acquiring land far
In atlvnnco of the tlmo when It will be
utilized wns emphasized by Mr. Kglln,
who pointed out the site at Beach nnd
Palmer streets, on the Delaware Illvcr,
as an exnmple. This site was purchased
by tho company after having surrendered
its option at the urgent icqueat of tho
city.
"This site is very desirable because It
fits two prime needs of a power plant,
nn available coal and water supply," ho
said. "The plant which we contemplate
erecting thcie. skeleton plans for which
nro ready, will be a 2:3,0W-horBepowcr
station. Wo will save 3W,0OT by build
ing It there In prefcrenco to other sites
only half a mile away. It Is Intended to
supply electric power to the northeast
manufacturing district."
How necessary It Ib for a power com
pany such ns the Philadelphia Klcctrlc
Company to plan ahead In obtaining sites
safe from fire menace, wns Illustrated by
Mr. Kglln, who said that his company
furnishes light or power for nil trolley
lines in tho city, nil telegraph and tele
phone s stems, and most of tho amuse
ments, elevators, newspnper plants and
street lamps. Stations At and AI, on the
Schuylkill water front, nt the foot of
Christian street, which are equipped with
n conduit 10 feet I Inches In diameter,
use ns much water per minute as the
entire water system of tho city per min
ute, he testified.
BOY OP 14 SAVES FAMILY
Rushes to Summon Firemen, Returns
and Assists Mother and Sisters
From House
A H-year-old boy, the oldest of a. fam
ily of nine children, awakened rrom his
sleep nt i o'clock this morning nnd dis
covered that the house was on Mre. Ho
ran nvo squares to summon firemen and
then returned to assist his mother,
brothers and, slaters to escape from the
house by climbing down n shed In tho
rear.
The boy Is Thomas Doblosky, of 10
League street. Asleep on tho third floor,
he wns aroused by the odor of smoke.
He quickly slipped on some clothing nnd
ran to Water nnd League Btreets, where
tho station of Engine Company 46 Is sit
uated. Thcro he gave the alarm, but
learned that meanwhile some one had
summoned Knglnc Company No. 3, from
Queen street below Sd,
He rushed back to the house nnd dashed
Into tho smokc-niled structure. His
mother, Mrs. Elizabeth Doblosky, a 1-ycar-old
baby, and his four sisters were
asleep on this floor. Ho guided them to
the rear and helped them out on tho
roof of n one-story shed In tho back of
the house. There neighbors and firemen
assisted tho members of the family to
the ground.
Firemen extinguished the blazo with

WASHINGTON, Dec. S.-Hcprcscntntlvo
William S. Vnre. of Philadelphia. Is start
ing out early In an attempt to assume at
least a partial leadership of tho Pennsyl

nnd his first move In this direction Is to ho
found In tho canvass ho Is making to have
Hdgar II. Kless, n stanch Hrumbnugh
booster from the Wlllamsport district,
plnced on tho Republican Congrcslonal
Committee. Mr. Vare, however. Is meet
ing with some unexpected oposltlon In tho
person of Mahlon M. Garland, Congress-man-at-lJirgc,
a Penrose adherent, who 13
grooming Representative Charles It. Row
hind, of Phllllpsburg. for tho place
The Pennslvanla Republican delega
tion Is divided on this question and It Is
difficult to predict tho outcome, although
Mr. Vnro asserts that Kless will bo an
easy winner should thero be it light. On
the other hand, Mr. Garland luus been
very active In behalf of Rcpresntntlvo
Rowland nnd ho nays his caudldato for
the committee will win.
Both tho Philadelphia nnd tho Pitts
burgh delegations aro split on tho ques
tion, although severnl of tho members
have taken no definite stand as yet. The
same division of opinion is noticeable
among tho other members. Severn! mem
bers who aro very friendly to Senntor
Penrose declare that the action of Rep
resentative Vare In fostering tho Klesa
candidacy Is merely reflecting the wishes
of Governor Brumbaugh, nnd they resent
It, because they declare tho Governor
should not Intcrfero In n purely Con
gressional matter.
