SPRINGFIELD. Mo., June 1
Crated with grief nnd nnxlety over Iho
kidnapping of his Infant ion, J. It K'cot,
Bprlng-fleld millionaire nnd retired banker,
today blames friends for his failure to re
cover the baby from abductors list night.
Following directions, -ho, stole, away In
the height of a raging wind and rnln storm,
In his automobile, to meet tho kidnappers
at aome spot near Springfield. With him
he carried the JG000 ransom demanded by
the abductors for the safe return of tho
t ourtecn-month-old .child,
BerfoVe-leaving lCeet ssked his friends not
to attempt to follow him The letter from
the kidnappers stated that, alone, he must
drive down a certain country road, where.
It convinced of his good faith, nn ngent of
ther kidnappers would present himself Once
th money was paid Kvet would be Informed
where' ha could find his bnby.
Jv. Fiitusbs .followed
Fcarlog Keet would meet with foul play,
friends followed him almost continuously
through the night ,ln desperation ho cir
cled," doubled back on his trail nnd stmt
his bu,at breakneck speed through tortentu
Which-gushed down tho hillsides.
But the kidnappers, fearing capture or
tho double-cross, did not appear nt the sug
gested place
Tired and worn, ho returned tn his home
this rnornlng, n beaten, broken man.
Throughout the morning ho tosstd on his
bed, while Mrs. ' Keet, whose eyes have
not closed In sleep since tho baby was
Stolen Wednesday night, raced the floor
In despair.
JJhtll today tho mother maintained her
composure, posltlvo that her boy would

passed" Since her husband's failure to find
the ' abductors 'she his been bordering on
collapse.
Friends nnd relative have, been barred
from the home and' the curtains nre drnwn.
Fearing that the kidnappers will carry out
their threat to mutilate or kill the baby if
an attempt Is made to discover their Iden
tity, tl)e Keots are almost desperate In their
efforts to shun attempts of friends to offer
assistance.
Associates stated that Keet was prepar

Inslgnlflcent as compared with the com

IKA8U ON, djffem:xt MXES
"If a lenso Is to be drawn and offered to
thej Philadelphia ftapid Transit Company,
It should bo drawii on radically different
Jines. In order that tho report which I
'submitted on March 29, 1917, might not
be confined to merely destructive criticism,
I embodied In that report on pages 18 nnd
19 eleven essential features upon which
a fair contract between the city nnd the
Philadelphia Rapid Transit Company may
be based. These features are ns follows:
First. The company shall, if possible,
adopt a program which will ultimately
effect n readjustment of its finance by
refunding or other .approved mean, nnd
that the city -shall readjust 'its program
of coinmwtlon so. as to bring the esti
mate's (ttlwt within reasonable limits
Secqnd The city shall not guarantee
the company's system us to capitaliza
tion, matfagement or operating results
InVa'rty way, clthor directly or indirectly.
Three. As the gross and net earnings
of both the city's and the company" sys
tems fluctuate from year to year and de
pend upon factors beyond the city's con
trol, any payment to the company for its
cc-operation should not be based on gross,
net. or diverted earnings of either sys
tem, but should be, if at nil, a payment
based on the extent to which the com
pany really co-operates In the city's pro
gram, and in determining Its amount the
city shall recognize the company's obliga
tion1 to be reinonslhUi for the result of
capital Investment in the rapid transit
facilities at a normal rate.
Fourth. The payment or fee to the
company for acting as manager or oper
ator of the city's system shall not exceed
the amount which would be paid for the
same service under independent opera
tion, and preferably graded and propor
tional to the relative, (cross, earnings of
the two systems.
Fifth. The city's extern shall be oper
ated for the city's benefit. Physically the
company's and the city's systems may bo
operated as a unit, but financially they
must be kept separate, each system to
.count as its earnings whatever cash it
k; receives on lu lines it may be assumed.
-" k. ,b. -.... .Ill t-t ...
? t wuit u,o nuueicr win twiance eacn oiner.
' ' CITlT-OWN'tiD SYSTEM
Sixth. The city may equip as well as
Vulld Its own high-speed lines, thus own
Jng outright Its own system complete.
This provision Is not a necessity If the
ompany will furnish the equipment on
fa(r terms , but It wilt obviate any neces
sity -foj- the company to tnake use of the
city's guarantee on Its operating results
in order to finance the equipment of the
city's lines, It also makes It possible for
.the, tUy to take aver a completely
equipped system if It should decide to re
eiptufi'lts own system at any time,
, Seventh, The company's system of sur-
refnes shall be financed by the com
pd& and the company must not be per
mitted to use the city's credit either
tlv or indirectly ; but must stand on
He ewn (est, and atand or fall aa a result

clle differences over tho bills failed and
accordingly ho will urge that the Legisla

Today's session was only tho first of tho
series of conferences to be held between

The declaration of tho Mayor on Wed
nesday that the city had reached a point
where it was found Impossible to keep tho
promises to the public and give them nil
that was anticipated for a five-cent fare, It
was intimated yesterday, might bo followed
by the announcement soon of a six-cent faro
proposition, with universal free transfers

Xone of those Identified with the transit

IN two distinct theatres of war tho
Italians' arc now pressing of
fensives. On the Isonzo-Carso front, where
General Cadorna began n furious
drive two weeks ago, tho net result
to dato has been tho occupation of
important positions, both north and
Huth of Gorizia, and the inflicting
of heavy losses on the Austrians,
estimated at 300,000. The Italian
losses have not been given.
The new encircling movement in
augurated by Italian forces operat
ing in Albania has already gained
four towns on tho Avlona-Monastir
line. Tho French, occupying the
eastern end of this line, have opened
a big bombardment, and a general
