Detectives Say Father Paid Ab
ductors $10,000.
Told That If He Called at a Certain
Confectionary Store In Cleveland Ho
Would Be Told How He. Could Se
cure His Boy Father Carried Out
Instructions Boy Walked Into Hoi
ienden Hotel Last Evening In Good
Health and Spirit.
Cleveland, March 23. Little Willie
Whltla, who has caused his parents
great anxfPty and the police of the en
tire country worry since he was kid
naped from school In Sharon, Pa., last
Thursday, was returned to his father
at the Hollenden hotel here last night
st 8:30 o'clock.
In compliance with an agreement,
entered Into between the boy's father
and an agent of the kidnapers here,
the boy was placed on a streetcar on
the outskirts of the city and started to
tho hotel shortly after 8 o'clock.
Two boys, G. W. Ramsey and Ed
ward Mahoney, recognized tha lad on
the car and taking him In charge, con
ducted him to his father, who was In
waiting according to a prearraneed
plan which he hud followed at the dic
tation of the kidnapers.
The boy wandered about the hotel
lobby undenounced for several min
utes asking bellboys for his father be
fore the latter knew his son was in
the big foyer. The moment Mr. Whlt
la heard that a strange boy was In
the hotel sauntering about in aimless
fashion, he rushed across the lobby,
grasped him In his arms and smoth
ered his face with kisses.
An attempt had been made to dis
guise the lad. He wore a pair of
smoked glp.sses and a large tan cap
which wns pulW down over his eirs
and his father said it would have be-n
dlfPcult to have recognized the boy In
such a garb had he passed him on the
street.
Willie is In good health. He says
that he has been well treated and ever
since his cunture has been constantly
Indoors. He be'Ieves he was taken
from Sharon to Warren and thence to
New Castle Pa. It Is his opinion ex
pressed In a hipn" schoolboy way that
he was In Ashtabula on Saturday
night at the time his father was to
loave his 10.00O In Flatlron park.
Mr. Whltla refused to say whether
he had pi'd tbe ransom or not. He
sa'd that he received a letter yester
day fron' the kidnapers at Ms home In
Sharon saving that If he called at a
confectionery store In the East End
of Cleveland he would be told how to
rp his boy unharmed and "well
fed." Ehortly after noon he left Sharon
for Cleveland. He was unaccompa
nied. His immediate family and the
private detectives he had in his em
ploy had bern apprised by him of the
proposed secret meeting, but he In
sisted that he must make the trip
alono, unhenralded. and that no attempt
at the capture of the kidnaners must
be made by them. Mr. Whltla was
certain that if he spoiled the plans of
hl3 son's captor he would never see
the lad again. His experience at Ash
tabula sewed as a warning.
About 2 o'clock in the afternoon he
went to a candy store In the East End.
With him he carried tbe $10,000, ex
pecting that It would demanded
of him there. He was met by a wom
an who detailed to him the terms of
the kidnapers. With distracted eager
ness Mr. Whltla agreed to them Im
mediately. Detectives in his employ
say that he paid the money, but on
this point the father declines to com
mit himself. Half an hour later h9
returned to tbe Hollenden hotel and
awaited developments.

lustrated Lecture on His Experience.
Kiel, March 23. Prince Henry of
Prussia, brother of Emperor William,
gave an illustrated lecture before the
Aero club last Saturday concerning
his five hour voyage in the Zeppelin

first narrative of the personal experi
ences of the prince to be mads public.

ent state of development for war pur

FIRST STEEL SLEEPERS
Railroad Contract Closed Involvint
$4,500,000 Expenditure.
The first big order of all-steel sleep
Ing cars to be produced in this coun
try will be built for tho Pennsylvania
Milroad and the Pennsylvania lines
west by the Pullman company.
The car concern will start at once
on the construction of 132 of the all
steel cars. Only four cars of similaf
construction have ever been built,
these being for test? The average
coat of each car will be about $35,000,
so that ths contract calls for a total
expenditure of over $1,500,000. The
cars are to be ready for operation not
fetter than June 10, 1910, and will be
used on all fast trains entering the sta
tion now in course of building in New
York city.
The details of the agreement be
tween the Pennsylvania and the Pull
man companies, It Is understood, were
concluded and signed a few days ago
by James McCrea and Robert Lincoln
of 'the two companies.
This is probably the largest single
Industrial undertaking to take definite
shape thus far this year, and is certain
to stimulate the steel business.
It is thought t!iat the New York Cen
tral, the Baltimore and Ohio and other
roads competing for passenger traffic
In and out of New York will bo forced
to improve their equipment.
SHIRT S AND COLLARS
Manufacturers Issue Statement at to
Effect of New Tariff.
The tariff committee of the Shirt
and Collar Manufacturers' association
of Troy, N. Y., has issued a state
ment rega.ding the proposed tariff as
affecting the collar Industry. Troy Is
the largest manufacturing center for
collars In the v orld.
It Is stated that the adoption of the
proposed schedule on collars and cuffs
would upset conditions and render
Troy collar manufacturers unable to
meet the competition that such a re
duction would bring about. It Is
stated that Japan, owing to cheap la
bor, would be able to undersell the
American market. It Is further stated
that the adoption of the new tariff bili
would affect 90 per cent of the output
of collars and cuffs manufactured In
Troy. England. Germany and Aus
tria are included among the countries
which would undersell the American
product.
Benefit of Minimum Rates.
Great Britain and France probably
will be the first countries to Becure the
benefit of the minimum rates of duty
named In the Payne bill. As soon as
the mensure Is enacted Great Britain
will secure thj minimum rates. Ac
cording to the committee's report,
Great Britain has been unable to se
cure the benefits of the reciprocal
trade arrangements provided for by
the Dingley bill, although Fhe has
treated this country with fairness and
impartiality in her customs acts. As
the French trade agreement with the
United States contains no provision
for Its continuance for any time after
It has been abrogated by either nation,
France may receive tho benefit of the
minimum rates of the Payne bill as
soon as it is enacted, the matter being
entirely In the hands of the French
government.

Grandmother Seeks Medicine at Night
and Meets Death.
Mrs. Hannah Earnest Blank, 71
years of age, wife of Michael G.
Blank, a farmer of Hemplield town
ship, near Oreensburg, Pa., was burned
to death early Thursday morning when

Mrs. Blank had been indisposed, and
at 1 o'clock in the morning arose and

awakened by the explosion, and rush
ing to the first door found his grand
mother lying on the floor, her clothing
and the room on fire. The country
side was awakened by the ringing of
the farm bell and neighbors extin
guished tho flames, which threatened
the house.
Mrs. Blank wns a lifelong resident of

CENSUS BILL PASSED
Civil Service Commission Given Con
trol of Appointments.
The first piece of legislation to
ke acted upon by the house of rep
resentatives during the special ses
sion was the bill providing for the tak
ing of the thirteenth census, which was
passed. In its present form the meas
ure gives to the civil service commis
sion Jurisdiction over appointments
and provides for the printing of the re
ports by the government printing of
fice. As enacted at the last session
the bill stripped the civil service com
mission of such authority and there
was a provision allowing some of the
printing to bo done by private firms,
because of which President Roosevelt
vetoed it. A further amendment was
made whereby appointments are to be
apportioned pro rata among the states.

FRENCH STRIKE OVER
Committee Sued For Peace and
Was Met Half Way.
Government Granted Some Requests
but Was Unable to Promise Dismis
sal of M. Simyan, Under Secretary
of Posts and Telegrams Committee
Had Conferences With Minister of
Public Works Barthou and Premier
Clemenceau.
The great strike of employes of the
post.ofllce department, which has Isolat
ed Paris and cut off Fran?e trom com
munication with the ouiaid.; world for
a week, collapsed Sunday. The htrike
committee decided to fall off the em
ployes and made the first move to
effect a settlement, virtually suing for
peace. "The government lneMhe conT
mtttee half way.
Representatives of the linemen call
ed an M. Barlhou, minister of public
works, ostensibly for the purpose of
protesting against the charges that
they had cut the wires, but during
the course of the Interview they com
municated to the minister the terms
on which the allied associations col
lectively would resume work.
M. Barthou received the deputation
In a conciliatory spirit. He said that
the government could not discuss the
resignation of an official except with
parliament, but he practically gave
the delegation the satisfaction they
demanded m other points, explaining
to them th.a the government had not
yet exercised its right of dismissal.
He said that warnings had been sent to
every striker without exception to
appear for duly not later than Tues
day. Moreover, he agreed to receive
the representatives of the associations
whenever they had grievances to
present.
Premier Clemenceau later met the
deputation and confirmed M. Bar
thou's statement with regard to the
attitude of the government. He ap
pealed to the men. both In the inter
est of themselves and the country, to
put an immediate end to the intol
erable situation.
At the conclusion of these Interviews
with the ministers the strike commit
tee met and decided upon the resump
tion of work at once.
BOY KIDNAPED FROM SCHOOL
His Parents Later Received a Letter
. Demanding $10,000.
William Whitln, son of James P.
Whltla, a well-known attorney of
Sharon, Pa., und former Republi
can candidate for congress, was kid
naped by two men Thursday and later
his parents received a letter demand
Ins a ransom of $10,000.
About 9:30 a. m. a man drove up
to the hoyi' school In a buggy and told
the Janitor that William Whitla was
wanted immediately at his father's of
fiio. As the teacher was putting on
the child's coat she remarked to him
"I hope they are not kidnaping you."
That wiu the last seen of the boy.
The father was in New Wilmington,
Pa.
When William failed to return home
at noon, Mrs. Whitla went to tho
school and there learned that her son
had been taken away by two men.
About 1 o'clock in the afternoon the
postman left a letter at the Whitla
home addressed to Mr. Whitln. It de
manded $10,0iM ransom. The letter
Instructed Mr. Whitla to advertise
where the money could be secured.
Mr. Whitla is a brother-in-law of P.
II. Buhl, the millionaire iron manu
facturer. Young Whltla Is 8 years old.
Charlie Ross Case Recalled.
The law in Pennsylvania against kid
naping is very severe. Following the
Pat Crowe episode at Omaha, the leg
islature passed a bill approved by Gov
ernor Stone making the punishment
for kidnaping imprisonment for the
"term of his or her natural life, or for
any term of years, at the discretion of
the court." Any person assisting in a
kidnaping may be punished by a fine
of $5,000 and imprisonment not ex
ceeding 20 years at the discretion of
tho court.
No one in Philadelphia read the story
of the kidnaping of the Whitla child
with moro Interest tiuiii the mother of
the famous Charlie Ross, who was
stolen from his home In July, 1871,
and never found. Charlie's brother
Walter, who was kidnaped with him
and afterward abandoned, Is a prom
inent stockbroker of this city.
