Another Sensational Kidnap
ing Case.
OCCURRED AT INDIANAPOLIS
Involved the Family of ex-United
States Attorney-General Miller
Seven -Year-Old Child Dlxnp
pears With His Mother.
INDIANAPOLIS. Dec. 26. A 'Sensa
tional kidnaping. Involving the family of
ex-United States Attorney-General Wil
liam H. H. Miller, occurred this after
noon and led to a hot chase a few minutes
later aoross the state to overtake the
wife of Samuel D. Miller, son of William
H. H. Miller, who was supposed to "be fly
ing: to New York with her stolen son.
Samuel Miller and his wife have lived
In New York for several years, and last
Summer he came "West to go into his
father's office. His wife stayed in New
"York. Last Friday she came here to
demand possession bf her seven-year-old
son, whom the father had brought West
with him and who was living with him
at the grandfather's house on North Del
aware street. The husband and wife had
a. consultation at the wife's apartments
In the Denison and she agreed that if the
boy was allowed to he. sent to her dally,
with the nurse, she would not attempt to
kidnap him. -
This afternoon the boy and the nurse
called on Mrs. Miller at the Denison. She
sent the nurse out to get a check cashed
and while the governess was gone or
dered a carriage and made arrangements
to leave. When the governess returned
Mrs. Miller announced that they were
going for a drive. They started lna closed
carriage down South Meridian street to
ward the railroad station. The German
.governess, suspecting foul play, jumped
out of the carriage while it was on the
run, ran to a telephone and notified the
father and grandfather.
Mrs. Miller immediately ordered the
carriage driven to Brlghtwood, and when
the two Millers arrived at the Union
Station there was no trace of the woman
and boy. Two hours later they learned
from the hackman where she had gone
and it was believed she Intended to take
the Big Four accommodation train at
Brlghtwood and then take the Knicker
bocker train at Anderson or Muncle. At
6:30 o'clock the two Millers started on the
Knickerbocker to run her down before
she got out of the state.
Mrs. Miller was Helen Karcher, of
Pottstown, Pa., and Samuel Miller met
licr nine years ago at Washington, whon
his father was United States Attorney
General. They were married a year
later, and the boy, Sidney, is now seven
years old.
Samuel Miller came back to Indlanap
olie with his father and resumed the
practice of law. Five years ago he went
to New York and Joined a law firm. He
and his wife lived at the Rutland, near
Central Park. Mrs. Miller still lives there.
Last Summer Mr. Miller was offered an
opening in his father's office and came
West, Mrs. Miller refusing to come, nad
since that time has lived In New York.
There has been no divorce and Mr. Miller
lias been sending her an allowance.
Last-Friday Mrs, Miller suddenly ap
pcarod In the city with the announcement
that she had come to get h.er boy and
cake him home with her. There were
conferences between the father and
mother and it was hoped a compromise
would be effected and nothing be made
public concerning the matter. This seem
ed to be easily accomplished until the
sensational incident of this afternoon.
W. H. IL Miller and son returned at 10
o'clock tonight from point s along the
Knickerbocker No trace of Mrs. Miller
and the stolen child could be secured.
From the ticket agent at Brlghtwood
It has been learned that the woman and
boy did not buy a ticket there. The two
Milers were met at the Union Station- on
their return by three detectives and all
went to Mr. Killer's office. It was learn
ed that George Senour was the haekman
engaged and that he had disappeared
after returning the hack to the barn.
The entire police and detective forces of
the city were employed to search the
city for the woman and boy, and every
officer is now at work. The police say
that Mr. Miller Is either hiding In the
city waiting a chance to break for the
East, or has already eluded them by get
ting out on the Pennsylvania or Cincin

WAR ON ADDICKS.
Delaware Democrat Determined to
Defeat Him.
DOVBR. Del., Dec 27. Democratic
leaders from all parts of the state to
the number of 154, and including all Demo
cratic A'ssemblymen-clect except three,
held a conference here today to consider
the situation relative to the election of
two United States Senators by the Legis
lature, which will convene Tuesday next.
No definite plan of action was decided
upon, but the prevailing sentiment of
those who addressed the meeting and
generally of those present was that the
Democrats should use every endeavor to
prevent the election of J. Edward Ad
dicks as one of the Senators. The Legis
lature will be composed of 23 Democrats
and 28 Republicans. Of the latter, the
Addlcks faction is believed to control IS.
and 11 are expected to oupoee Addlcks for
Senator. Should all Senators and As
semblymen be present and vote on the bal
lot for Senator, 27 votes will be neces
sary to elect.
Senate Chairman Wlllard Saulsbury pre
sided at the conference, and urged" that
the Democrats in the Legislature should
not enter into coalition with the Repub
licans unless the latter should agree that
the Democrats should be conceded one
of the United States Senators. John
Biggs, ex-United States Attorney and ex
state chairman, advocated the voting for
two antl-Addicks Republicans, as did also
Attorney-General White, if the plan for
the election of one Democrat failed.

TOPEKA. Kan. Dec M. Senator Lu
clen Baker arrived here today, and will

position candidate, are exercised over the
report that J. L. Brfstow. Fourth Assist

Repairing: the Bennington.
WASHINGTON, D c 25. The Navy De
partment has directed that the gunboat
Bennington be repaired in the Philippine:,
instead of returning to this country for
that purpose. The Bennington has been
found, to be one of the most servicable
craft In Asiatic waters, owing to her
light draft, so that the department has
not felt warranted In having her make
the long trip home to undergo repairs.
DETROIT RAILWAY SUIT.
Capitalists Fighting Over Control of
Valuable Property.
NEW YORK, Dec 25. Decision was re
served by Justice Blanchard, In the Su
preme Court today. In an action brought
by Tom L. Johnson against R. T. Wilson
& Co., bankers and brokers, for an In
junction restraining the defendants from
disposing of the stocks and securities
of the Detroit street railway system,
pending the trial of a suit for the dis
solution of an alleged partnership ex
isting between Johnson and R. T. Wil
son & Co. Mr. Johnson also asks that a
receiver be appointed for the railway.
The origin of the suit was the purchase
in 1S9I by the defendants of the Detroit
street railway system, after which Mr.
Johnson became associated with them
in Its management. R, T. Wilson & Co.
began the purchase of the concern In
the Fall of ISM, and after they had suc
ceeded In doing so. they brought la Mr.
Johnson as an associate In January, 1S95.
He was to have a one-fifth interest In
the company of all stocks purchased or
to be purchased by R. T. Wilson & Co.,
In connection with carrying out of the
project for the consolidation of all the
surface railroads In and about Detroit.
Mr. Johnson, was also to have charge of
the working of the different roads ac
quired, and was to act as the president of
the company at a salary of 510,000 a year.
R. T. Wilson & Co. were to have the
management of the finances of the cor
poration, and were to form such syndi
cates and outside arrangements with re
gard to the securities as they deemed
fit. The contract between Johnson and
R. T. Wilson & Co. was to terminate
within three years, if possible, but did not
so terminate, and was extended from
time to time until November last. The
reason of the failure to close the agree
ment was the formation of a new com
pany for the acquirement of the Detroit
street railway system, which was known
as the three -cent fare combination,
which was engineered by the firm of
Pack & Everltt, who, securing a fran
chise, on making a stipulation that they
would carry passengers for a three-cent
fare, succeeded in acquiring between 50
and GO miles of streets under that fran
chise. R. T. Wilson & Co. deny that Johnson
gave any notice that he desired a dis
solution of the alleged partnership prior
to the making of the Pack & Everltt
agreement. They admit that, at the
beginning of December, he did give a
written notice demanding that the part
nership be dissolved. '
Wilson & Co. paid JS.000.000 for the pur
chase of the roads acquired by them, but
say that Johnson has not yet paid his
one-fifth of that sum and cannot there
fore claim the one-fifth of the securities.
Johnson's reply to this Is that he offered
to pay it and was ready to do so at any
time, and that he Is. therefore, entitled
to receive the one-fifth of the stock con
templated In his agreement of 1S95. The
injunction asked for by him calls for
the restraining of the carrying out of the
Pack & Everltt agreement, settled on
by R. T. Wilson & Co., as well as de
barring the transfer of these securities
held by the defendants.
Justice Blanchard will not render his
decision until he has received briefs from
counsel on both sides of the law on the
case.

Thompson appeared as Carmen tonight
at the Auditorium Theater with Grau &
Savage's Metropolitan Opera Company.
This was her first presentation of the
character since her partial break-down
In her debut In New York, and the thea

not have much volume As her nervous
ness wore away, her portrayal of the
character of the fickle Spanish cigarette
maker improved, and she won frequent
curtain-oalls. Her voice, however, was
apparently hardly powerful enough to fill
the blr auditorium.

There Is no real evidence adduced that
Crowe was In any way connected with
the kidnaping, but the Chief thinks that
his past record and his actions since the
Cudahy event are very strong reasons
for securing his arrest and detention.
It is now known that Pat Crowe was
seen in South Omaha scarcely 20 hours
before the abduction of Eddie Cudahy.
Monday night, December 17, a well-known
citizen of South Omaha conversed with
him lor nearly an hour. Just before he
departed, Pat was questioned concerning
his future plans, and laughingly replied:
"Oh, I have something big on; you'll hear
from me soon." At the time, this was
viewed as an idle boast.

LEPROSY IN PHILIPPINES
IVO LESS THAN 30,000 CASES IX THE
ARCHIPELAGO.
Over One nnndred "Were Found in
Manila An Inland Will Be Se
lected for a Settlement.
WASHINGTON, Dec 26. An appended
report to General MacArthuc's review of
the cvlll affairs ot the Philippine Islands
for the past fiscal year gives rather start
ling facts regarding the introduction and
prevalence of leprosy in the Islands. Ac
cording to the estimates of the Francis
can Fathers, says the report, there are
no less than 30.CC0 lepers In the archi
pelago, the major portion of these being
in the Visayas. Leprosy was Introduced
in 1633, when the Emperor of Japan sent
a ship with 130 lepers on board to the
Philippines as a present to be cared for
by the Catholic priests. Thus the- seed
was planted and as no practical "meth
ods were adopted to eradicate the disease
or prevent Its spread, it has" -taken firm.
root. A house-to-house Inspection begun
last January found more than ICO lepers
concealed in dwellings. These were sent
to San Lazaro hospital. In Manila, but
many others escaped Into the surrounding
country. A commission Is now engaged
in the work of selecting a suitable Island
or islands for the purpose of Isolating all
lepers in the archipelago.
STILL A FILIPINO.
Fontcla Hopes for Independence for
His People.
NEW YORK, Dec. 26. Rafael del Fon
tela, a refugee from the Philippine Is
lands and first president of the Madrid
Junta, has Just arrived in New York from
Canada.
"I came hero to be free," he explained.
"It was Impossible for me to be other
than a slave to America when I lived
with my wife and five children in-Manlla,
so I have come where I won't have to be
subservient. Americans are not subservi
ent to Americans, and while I don't ap
prove of the American methods employed
In the Philippines, I'd rather be a free
American than an enslaved Filipino."
Senor Fontela was a lawyer and editor
in Manila. When the war began he was
Agulnaldo's chief adviser. Driven out of
the Philippines by the American soldiers,
he fled with his wife and five small chil
dren to Madrid. There he established the
first Filipino junta, and was made its
president. With an idea mat such a Jun
ta would flourish In Canada he left Mad
rid and went to Montreal. He has been
there for several weeks.
"You hear so much of American inde
pendence in Canada," he continued, "that
I determined to come here and get some
of it."
Senor Fontcla explained that It was safe
for him to return to the Philippines and
resume his law practice and the publi
cation of his newspaper were he willing
to swear allegiance to tho Stars and
Stripes.
"I'm no hypocrite," he explained, "and
can't take such an oath when my people
are in a struggle which must end in death
or freedom. I will not return to the Phil
ippines until Independence has been
gained.
"The Impression has got abroad that
Agulnaldo Is dead. This is nonsense. He
has a large following and every man
under him Is there to do or die. The
war has just begun unless America ac
cedes to the demands of the Filipinos."
Regarding the formation of a new party
which the United States officials say will
rally the Filipinos to the colonial policy,
Senor Fontela said:
"This scheme Is doomed to failure. The
leaders, Buencamino and Paterno, are
leaders without a party. They are time
servers. During the Spanish domination
they wero more Spanish than the Span
iards. During the effective life of the
Filipino Republic they were ardent patri
ots. When the United States troops cap
tured the Filipino capital, Tarlac. these
men allowed themselves to be taken pris
oners and have since professed ardent en
thusiasm for United States supremacy.
Any proposal made by them Is sure to bo
rejected by the Filipinos, who will apply
to them the proverb which, being trans
lated. Is, 'The same dogs with different
collars."
"Last June, Buencamino made an at
tempt to organize a paTty for autonomy.
No one responded. In October Paterno
tried to organize festivals in Manila, and
asked Filipino revolutionists to co
operato with him in asking for
a brpad plan of self-government.
The United States people can hard
ly have forgotten the complete failure of
the Manila festivals, and the indifference
with which the people treated Senor Pa
terno'3 efforts. Now Paterno and Buen
camino join their forces, proposing to or
ganize a new jiarty, a. "Federal party."
As the force of each amounts to zero,
their united efforts will be double zero."
Appointment of "Whltniarsh.
WASHINGTON, Dec 26. Secretary
Root said today that he had not been In
formed of the appointment of H. P. Whit-
ft H

marsh as Governor of Tienguet. Province
of Luzon, but as all such appointments
are subject to the approval of the War
Department, he undoubtedly will get the
Information In due course of time. He
was confident that If the Philippine Com
mission had appointed Whltmarsh Gov
ernor of Benguet, It was a thoroughly
proper appointment. No protest against
the appointment had been made, so far as
he was aware on the ground that Mr.
Whltmarsh was a British, subject, or for
any other reason. The cable Is not used
by the Philippine Commission In report
ing such matters, the malls being regard
ed as sufficient for such purposes, and
