MA NY SUFFERED FROM HUNGER Filing Crops Made Hundreds of Mis souri Farmers Desperately Poor.* Forsyth. Mo., March 17.—Hundreds of farmers in the Orseak hills of Southern Missouri and Northern At ;; insas, whose crops failed during In. summer's droughts, are living in i 1 desperately poor way on short ra tions. It is estimated that probably I'> per cent, of the population iu the • . rrict has felt the bitter pangs of hunger this winter. Offers of aid have been refused.

A member of the Missouri state board of charities, who has just investi gate;! the situation at the request of Governor Dockery, will recommend that the Missouri delegation in con gress send what government seed they can.

Pittsburg, March 17. —Repeated threats to abduct his three children unless a ransom of $25,000 would be left In a certain spot, and a warning that murder would follow the placing of detectives on the case, have caused Alexander R.

The case was putin the hands of detectives, and it is said arrests of the guilty parties is now practically certain.

The letter was unsigned.

March 17. —President Roosevelt has decided not to reappoint T. V. Powderly commissioner general of Immigration, because of the fact that he did not work in harmony with the secretary of the treasury, and also because of the repeated investigations which have had to be made by the treasury department since he assumed office. Frank P. Sargent, chief of the Broth erhood of Locomotive Firemen, has been tendered the place, and, while It is believed he will accept, the presi dent has not yet heard from him.

The president is determined that the re peated complaints to the department about this bureau shall cease, and he believes that Mr.. Sargent, because of his executive ability, is the person to make the necessary reforms and thor oughly reorganize the service. Mr. Sargent was also offered the commissionership at New York, and it is understood he can accept either the commissioner generalship or that of commissioner at New York, which ever he prefers.
