A Marine dot to kidnap two children o obtain money from their foster rinnh through the assistance of detective has Just placed A.

Detective Carpenter returned yes terday from Tillamook, where he was i.car flrst bv Worrall and White to akl them in their plans. When he - learned, however, that they were ei sraged In a crooked same he told fchriff Crenshaw, of Tillamook County, and aWed that official to convict the men who first had employed him.

This la coine to be a tough proposl ton." said Worrall. after the prelim inary introductions, "but there is a lot f money in it. Worrall then went on to explain that tie was an attorney, that he lived at Tillamook and that one of his clients was eager to recover his two children. who. Worrall said, were new illegally Jy A. G. Beals and wife at Tillamook. 'To be frank with you," the attorney went on, according to Carpenter's story, "we want you to kidnap the children. The Beals people hold them illegally, as they never regularly adopted them." Worrall laid bare the plot to take the children away from Mr. and Mrs. Beals, but all the time keeping- Carpenter vnder the impression that the Beals had wrongful possession of the chil dren. The plan was to waylay Mr. Beals along the road, using force if neces sary, .and to carry him away to a se cluded cabin in the woods. It then would be an easy matter, suggested Worrall. to go to the Beals house In Tillamook, take the children and de t liver them to the father. not Iald Bare. To all this Mr. Carpenter consented, "providing there Is money enough in it." and with the idea that he was to perform a legitimate mission he went with Worrall to Tillamook. At Tillamook they held a conference with White. The details of the plot then were laid hare. then that Carpenter learned that they planned to extort money from Beals, as well as to kidnap the children. "Til not be a party to a trick like this," Carpenter said ho decided, and, after he had gathered enough Informa tion from his clients, presented the situation to the Sheriff. Beals was called into consulatlon and it was de cided to allow the plotters to proceed with their plan and "hang themselves with their own rope. Carpenter continued ostensibly In the employment of Worrall and White. but in reality in the employment of Sheriff Crenshaw and Beals. The real objects of the conspiracy the children are the children of White. They were regularly and le trally adopted by Mr. and Mrs. BealB when their mother died and. when the youngest of the two was in its infan cy. . It has not been until quite recent ly that the father has sought to regain possession of them. Ransom la Sought. . But in addition to the children, he wanted to extract a substantial ran ora from the Beals family. And for the apparent purpose of securing this ransom Carpenter connived with the plotters but to their certain and. ulti mate undoing. Sir. Beals was taken into the secret. One night as he was passing along a lonely country road near Tillamook lie became the wining victim of a "kid naping." Carpenter, following In xtructions from Worrall and White, took Mr. Beals away and kept him in seclusion. But Instead of keeping him In a lonely mountain cabin as the con cpirators intended, he kept blm at the jconvenient home of his own brother. Mr. Beals then wrote out a check lor J 800 and inclosed It with a latter which Carpenter delivered under the door of the Beals home. Mrs. Beals also had been taken Into the secret and had the check cashed at the bank. Then she went to the office of Worrall as instructed tn the letter from her husband and offered him the Xnoney. Worrall Grows Suspicions. The scheme was for Worrall to take the money out along the road where lie was to be stopped by a "stranger" to Vhom he would deliver and then would release Mr. Beals. But when Mrs. Beals went to Wor rell's office the attorney balked. He scented a trap. Evidently he had seen the Sheriff and Mr. Beals' brother call on Mrs. Beals the same morning. So he refused to take the money. At this point the Sheriff stepped In isnd arrested Worrall. The same day w nue was arrested while he was at work as a section hand on the railroad near Jay city. White was convicted on two charges attempting to kidnap, for which he was sentenced to the Peni tentiary ror from one to 12 years, and attempting to kill, for which he was sentenced from one to Ave years. Wor rall was convicted, on a charge of at tempting to kidnap and sentenced from pno to 2 yi years.

When needed, dilute to taste with hot, cold or charged water. When only a part of the rinds are needed to flavor the syrup, the remain der may be used in any of the ways mentioned below. This also Is true of the rinds of lemons left over in ordi nary cooking or lemonade brewing. 1. Grate off the yellow part, only, on lumps of sugar. Put a small amount only on each lump; keep In a covered Jar to use in tea or fruit drinks. 2. Rub the lumps on the rind until thoroughly saturated with the lemon oil.

Crystallize the whole rinds and use in fruit cakes and puddings or as decoration for cakes and-candies. 6. Make the whole rinds Into lemon preserve, or marmalade, using a little citric acid in place of the Juice; or use in a mixed fruit "conserve." 7. Use the rinds for some form ot lemon pickle or catsup.
