FRENCH WAR ORPHAN,, TWICE A STOWAWAY, NOWIN WILMINGTON Eugene Cautot, Who Ran Away From Farm at Frazer Finds a New Home Eugene Cautot, n fourteen-jear-old French war orphan, has been located in Wilmington, Del., following his disap pearance from n farm nt Frazer, Pa. Theboy is living with a Frenchman named Almfi, at Eleventh nnd Orange streets, Wilmington. His self-appointed guardian declares that he will keep him. Officials of the Catholic Chil dren's Rurcnu insist the boy must be returned to Frauec. Eugene twice enteied this country with returning American troops, hav ing been deported on the first occasion. Three weeks ago he was sent to the farm by the Catholic Children's I'.ureau and itemed to be pleased with his new home. He ran away, however, and made his way to Wilmington, where he met Almfi. Eugene is a veteran of four years of campaigning in the camps behind the fighting lines in Europe and has been the mascot for a number of icgiments. The boy seemed to become especially fond of the American soldiers, and. found n home with them when they began to move up to the front. At the close of the wnr he determined to stay with his Yankee friends and managed to hide himself upon n troop transport and come to this country with the returning doughboys. Immigration ofiicials here were forced to deport him. Late in May Eugene turned up again at New York. This time he succeeded in getting to Camp Dix, where he was taken under the care of the relief or ganization. .

She had not heard of her brother's death.

Other occupants were Mrs. Charles Ovcrbvik and her baby daugh ter Elizabeth, and Mis. Maude, Hale and her daughters Evel.ni and Vera, aged 11 and ('. jisirs, tespectively. Vera alone was awake as the flames began to crackle. The pungent smell of the burning clothing in the down stairs cjoset warned her of the peril. She screamed a warning nnd half car ried, half dragged little Vera down the stairs, through the dense smohe, to the front door. At about the same time neighbors hail seen the gush of smoke from side windows, and their shouts attracted Patrolman Luhy, who turned in an alarm. A pedestrian, meanwhile, hail entered the house and awakened Mrs. Ovcrbeck and Mrs. Hale. Their cries of alarm over three-) ear-old Elizabeth sent him up to the child's room, nnd she was carried to safety. Neighbors had extinguished the blaze when the firemen arrived.

(Hy A. P.) Under present plans of Republican leaders, tho peace treaty will he set aside temporarily for "consideration of the trenty between the United States and Colombia, proposing pa.ment to the latter of ?2.1,000,000 for damages arising from American acquisition of the Panama canal. Chairman Lodge, nf the Senate for eign relations committee, said today the Colombian trenty would be taken up by the committee next week with plans for its immediate ratification by the Senate. Action on the treaty has been urged by State Department of ficials. It was understood that an agreement had been reached between Senator Lodge and Under Secretary Polk, of the State Department, by which the com mittee would eliminate the clause of the treaty suggesting regrets to Colom bia for the partitlou of Panama. Republicans have held up ratification of the treaty for several years because ot this clause and some time ago the amount of the damages to be paid Colombia was reduced to ?15,000,000, but In consideration of the elimination of the regret clause, tho origlnnl sum of .$2."),000,000 was restored. Renewed request for immediate ac tion on the treaty was mndo today by Secretary Lansing nnd the, American Minister Jto Colombia. Chairman Lodgo will confer tomorrow with Sir, Lansing and lie hopes to obtain ratifi cation of the, treaty by the Senate next ,., ., . -s. - SISTER AT FIRE Head ot Jewelry Firm Succumbs at Shore rfter Few Days' Illness SUFFERED FROM INFLUENZA J. EMOTT CALDWELL Head of the firm of J. E Caldwell & Co., who died last night at Ids summer homo at Ventnor, N. J. James Emott Caldwell, head of the firm of J. E. Caldwell & Co.. and the last member to boar the fumil name, died nt 10 o'clock last night at his sum mer cottage at Ventnor, N .J. Mr. Caldwell's death followed an ill ness of only n few iht)s. It is believed toiave resulted indiieetly from an at tack .of Influenza he suffered last spring. Mr. Caldwell was in his office last Thursday. At that time he was suf fering" from a slight cold. Last Sat urday he was )aiiiting all day nnd iti is believed that this resulted in his con dition becoming wor.se. Mrs. Caldwell, his widow, his four children two gills and two bo)s and William It. Eisenhower, a member of the firm, were nt his bedside when death came last night. The Caldwell store did not open to day. It will lemaln closed until Tues day. Arrangements hne not )ct been made for the funeral. It Is believed it will be held from the Caldwell home in Itr.Mi Mawr. Mr. Caldwell was thlit -eight years old nnd a graduate of the Wharton School. He was born in this city. Mr. Culdwcll was the grandson of the founder of the jewelry firm, now lo eated in the Widener lluilding. The founder,. James Emott Caldwell, first opened a little shop it 11S1 Chestnut street in 183i). The steady growth ne cessitated larger quarters from time to time, calling for the following moves : To HO Chestnut stieet, to 822 Chestnut street, theu to i02 Chestnut street. This location was abandoned iu November, 1010, when the new quar ters In the Widener lluilding opened. As the business grew, the founder took his son, J.

Neither side, independent or regular, Peuii.se -Coles combination or the Vine nrgaiiintion, has jet settled on a can didate. The independents think they have one, but nrc not sure. ' There has been a ast amount of' sub rosa log-rolling dining the present we-ek. Theie has been a suspicious si lence and an absence of the usual amount ot airy persiflage dispensed from the rival headquaiters for the benefit i of the pulitical rcpoitois, , Rooms Collapse ' There has been a sudden deflation of booms. They have tempoiarily col lapsed, like toy balloons at a circus. On thf Vare side the l'ntteison, Ken drick excitement subsided for the time' being. Tho Lincoln Acker Republican Al liance propaganda has suddcul) censed to function. The demoiistiation that was to have insisted, with hands and red tire, that he permit the use of his name has failed to materialize up to date. Thus the most promising boom on the independent side has teiupnraiil) halted midway of its course. The reason for all of this is the dif ficulty of selecting a candidate both available and nt the same time accept able to the various factional leaders. The Penrose Alliance people declare that the candidate to receive' their sup port must come out into the open nnd declare himself opposed to the Vares personally. "Depend upon it, theie will be no pussyfooting ill this campaign b) an) candidate, lie's got to declare against the contractors. We will own the can didate we nominate, in the inteiest of good government nnd clean polities," I announced one of the conspicuous inde- , pendent leaders decisively this morning. For a "Regular" Cliolco Regular Republicans arc just as em phatic in declaring thnt they will nom inate a man who is a "Regular" and an organization choice. They want no unholy alliance with the Penrose peo ple. As one of their leaders expressed it, "We want no gumshoe candidate, lie's got to get into the open." The delay in announcing the com mittee of one hundred by the indepen dents is to await the result of certain conferences that are now would be embarrassing tee to meet nnd name whom other orgaulzat liance might object. I am sure that Chairman Coles, of the Town Meeting party, hy his blunt assertion that his people were Repub licans, though independents, upset the nlan of the Republican Alliance people to claim a registrar in every district on the basis of the Town Meetingiles being a separate party.

President W ilson does not now plan to present Hie defensive treaty with France to he Senate until after he returns from In- tour 0r the country. This state ment was made today at the White House. When the President presents the treaty he will accompany it with nn ex planatory address to the Senate. No statement w-ns made at the While House with ipgard to charges in the. Senate- jestcrdny that the President had violated a section of the treaty by not presenting it simultaneously with th treaty of Versailles. New Clash Expected The fact that the President falls to answer the charge of violation of thi treaty of alliance bids fair to provoke a new clash in tho Sennte today over his declination to submit the treaty of alliance.
