AVhitla Hefuscs to Reveal Terms of
Settlement or Whether Any
Prosecution of Kidnap
ers AV111 Be Made.
CLEVELAND, March 22. Little Wil
lie Whitla. who has caused the police
or the entire country endless worry
since he was kidnaped from school In
Sharon, Pa., last Thursday, was re
turned to his father at the Hollenden
Hotel here at 8:30 o'clock this evening.
In compliance with an agreement
entered into between the boy's father
and an agent of the kidnapers here to
day, the boy was placed on a streetcar
on the outskirts of the city and start
1 to the hotel shortly after 8 o'clock.
Meeting of Father and Son.
Two boys, G. W. Ramsey and Ed
ward Mahoney, recognized the laa on
the car and. taking him in charge
.inducted him to his father, who was
in waiting according to a pre-arranged
plan which h had followed at
tlio dictation of the kidnapers
The boy wandered about the hotel
lobby unannounced for several min
utes, asking bellboys for his father
before the latter knew his son was"
Jn the big foyer. The moment the
anxious parent heard that a strange
boy was in the hotel he rushed across
the Jobby. grasped the boy In his arms
and smothered his face with kisses
An attempt had been made to dis
sruise the lad. He wore a pair of
smoked glasses and a large tan cap
which was pulled down over his eyes'
nd the father said it would have been
difficult to recognize the boy in such
a garb had he passed him on the
street.
Well Treated by Captors.
Willie is jn perfect health. He says
he has been well treated, and ever
since his capture has been constantly
indoors. He believes he was taken
from Sharon to Warren and thence to
Newcastle. Pa. It is his opinion, ex
hibited in a happy schoolboy way. that
the was In Ashtabula Saturday night
at the time his father was to leave his
10.000 in Klatiron Park.
Before retiring for the night Mr. Whitla
admitted that he had paid J10.000 to the
woman in the confectionery store It
aa in currency. The woman did not
count the money. Mr. Whital believes the
woman was an Italian, but refuses to dis
close her identity.
He said that he received a letter today
from the kldnaoers at his home in
Aharon saying that if he called at a
confectionery store in the East End of
Cleveland he would be told how to se
cure his boy unharmed and "well
led."
Whitla Tells Story.
Shortly after noon he loft Sharon for
Cleveland. He was unaccompanied. His
immediate family and private detectives
he apprised of the proposed secret meet
lug, but instated that he make the trip
alone. Every one of them was warned
that he must .be allowed to go alone,
and no attempt at capture of the kid
napers be made.
Whitla was certain that if he spoiled
the plans of his son's captors tonight he
would never see the boy again. His
experience at Ashtabula - served as a
warning.
About 2 o'clock this afternoon he went
to a candy store, in the East End. With
him he carried the J10.000, expecting that
It would be demanded of him there. He
was met by a woman who detailed to him
the terms of the kldnapsrs. With all
the eagerness of a distracted parent.
Whitla agreed to them immediately. De-t.-ciives
in his employ eay that he paid
the money, but on this point the father
declines to commit himself. A few hours
later he returned to the hotel and
awaited developments.
Secrecy at Hotel. .
His fntranoe to the hoel was shrouded
In secrecy. By a previous arrangement
made with the hotel management he
did not register. Detective C. V. Perkins
who has superintended the search for the
boy in behalf of the father, was in the
lobby of the hotel, calmly smoking and
pretended to be unconcerned. But the
hearts of both parent and detectives were
bi-atlng anxiously.
The agent of the kidnapers promised
that the boy would be started toward
the hotel shortly after nightfall. As the
hour for the appearance of the child ap
proached Whitla became nervous He
disregarded the advice of the detectives,
who had told him to keep out of sight
of the newspaper men and the crowds of
curious people who had learned that he
was in the city.
Emerging from his room he walked up
and down the hall on the second floor
lth hands clasped across his breast.

Governor George Curry this morn
ing telegraphed President Taft his resig
nation as Governor of New Mexico. The
Governor stated that although he had
contemplated taking this action for sev
eral months past, the immediate cause of
his resignation was that he had requeu

he should take up the matter by letter.

Eagle, a Democratic weekly paper, in
his private office at the Capitol building.

which .Governor Curry considered a re
flection upon him. The Governor imme
diately telephoned Mr. Loomis to call
upon him, and when the latter put in an
appearance, Coventor Curry, according
to reports, hit him and then threw him
from the office.
Loomis and his friends at once started
a movement to have Governor Curry re
moved from office and charges were be
ing prepared against the Governor to be
filed with Mr. Taft and Secretary of the
Interior Ballinger.
Governor Curry was a Captain in the
Rough Riders during the Cuban War

Neither would his fraternity friends, but,
it is said, they had convinced the would

COST OF LIVING IS RAISED
Standard Oil Handsomely Cared
Fop Leather and Shoes Should

WASHINGTON, March 2. That the
Payne tariff bill will increase the cost of
living; that it Is crude and indefinite,
sectional and prohibitive, and that it is
an open challenge, to a trade war with
every other nation, are some of the crit
icisms of that measure made by the
Democratic members of the ways and
means committee in the minority report
submitted to the House by Clark, the
minority leader, today.
The report is a severe arraignment of
the revision which the Payne bill pro
poses. The countervailing duty provis
ions for coffee and petroleum, the maxi
mum and minimum features, the Cuban
reciprocity clause, the woolen, glass, agri
culture and sugar schedules are bitterly
attacked.
Insist TarUf Is Tax.
Declaring that a tariff Is a tax paid by
the consumer and that the only legitimate
function of a tariff is to raise revenue to
supply the needs of the Government, the
minority members insist that. Instead of
an increase of taxes or a new issue of
bonds, the correct remedy for the growing
deficiency in the revenues is a reduction
of the expenses of government. Con
tinuing, the report declares:
"The whole maximum and minimum
tariff scheme as set forth in the Payne
bill enables foreign countries to force us
to raise the rates of the Payne schedules
20 per cent, which would, after making
ample allowance for all reductions in the
Payne bill, increase our tariff rates on
the average much above the rates of the
Dingley law, a prospect which will bring
sorrow and dismay to the great body of
the people.
Challenge to Trade War.
"We are most heartily in favor of such
a maximum and minimum tariff as will
enable our Government to negotiate tar
iff arrangements by making concessions
to other governments, by reducing the
rates of our statute when such other
countries will make equally valuable con
cessions to us; but. as it stands: the
maximum and minimum tariff plan of
the Payne bill is ah open challenge to a
trade was with every other nation on
earth. It is seeking trade with a club
or meat-ax.
"The bill Is in many respects crude, in
definite, sectional and prohibitive. It
seems to us from our examination, which

WHITE WOMAN AND

TWO PEOPLE MAY BE MISS
EMERY AND AOKI.
Traveling Companions on Rose City
Due to Arrive in Portland
This Morning.
On board the steamer Rose City, which
is due to arrive from San Francisco this
morning. - are a Japanese man and a
young white woman, suspected by the
San Francisco police of being Gunjlro
Aoki and Miss Helen G. Emery, whose
proposed marriage has recently set . San
Francisco by the ears, and who have
dropped from sight within the past tfew
days.
The captain and the purser of the Rose
City declared to an Oregonian cor
respondent at Astoria early this morn
ing that they did not believe the couple
to be the persons whom the San Fran
cisco authorities believe them to be.
It was apparent on the trip up, as it
was before the Rose City left San Fran
cisco, that the Japanese and the white
girl were traveling together, although
they occupied separate apartments.
The respective names under which the
couple registered on the steamer were
H. Matsuoka and Stella Horn. -
Officers of the Rose City refused to
arouse either the Japanese or the girl
at Astoria this morning, as' both were
asleep. It IS probable their identity will
be ascertained on arrival of the steamer
here, although no charge has been pre
ferred against them and the Portland po
lice have not been asked to detain them.
