Arag tbe lad after them, and then
Ibrned their attention from tbe be

An hour later, when dusk began to

And a ltng time afterwards they

which I refused. But now I am sorry,
as I have no place to go to. I lived
with my sister, but she put me out of
the house. As I am not knowing
where to go I have no other cnoice
than to abandon the children. I my
self will make a finish of myself, and
may God bless the people who will

and Annie, (iod forgive me."
Tne abandoned children—the baby
about two years old and the boy four
-were taken into the section room,
where the policemen vied with one an
other to comfort the little outcasts.
Tbe baby, pretty child with dark
hair and big brown eyes, cooed and
smiled at the fuss the bluet-oats made
over her, but Ueorgie was inconsolable

goodies tbe like of which he had never
even dreamed. But when his tummy
was packed and they hiwl let him play
with big night sticks and billies and
rattle nippers he wanted his "mom

Long after nightfall Lieut. Arneth
sent the abandoned babes to the Chil

it was only for a little while, and
soon he would have Baby Annie and
his "mommer" but assurances didn't
pacify him.
The lad was too young to tell any
tniug that would shed light on his
identity. He knew his name was
George—Georgi.be pronounced it—and
lived in a big house. "Mommer"'
kissed him and Baby Annie and cried
awful in the park then she went
away, up where tne trees is. That's
all they could get from him.
There was nothing that would
atTord a clue as to the mother, and all
night the police momentarily expected
a report of an unidentified woman end

CENTRALIZATION OF POWER
Great Financial Interest* Appear to
Be Working Together.
New York, Sept. 16—Another sharp
twist was given to the screws of
financial centralization when the direc
tors of the National City bank unani
mously elected J. Pierpont Morgan,
Jr., a member of their board to fill
the vacancy caused by the death of
E. H. Harriman.
Financiers recognize In this an
ether aggressive move on tbe part of
the masters of finance In the United
States to form a community of inter
est whose power Is unequalled in the
world.
It is generally declared to be a part
of the gigantic scheme of conquest
that was maturing in the brain of R.
II. Harriman when he inaugurated the
new policy of railroad financiering
around the Union Pacific as the nu
cleus of a system of transportation
which he had determined should com
bine all the railroads of the continent

SHAH'S ATTEMPT TO ESCAPE
Young Monarch Suggested Race, Gal
loped Ahead, but Escort Caught Him.
Ever since bis accession to the throne
the twelve-year-old shah of Persia,
Ahmed Mirza. has been thoroughly
miserable. He declares that he Is the
unbappiest boy In Persia, weeps con
tlnually and anys his one desire is to
accompany his father Into exile. To
quiet the child bis mother has been al
lowed to visit him at the palace of
Sultanatabad. She. on her side, cannot
reconcile herself to the loss of her son
She weeps |»ers!stently and declares
that the Nationalists will end by kill
ing him.
A rumor that the ex-shah, Mobam
med AH. has been plotting to regain
the child is current. It is said that
through a woman servant the boy was
told at his father's instigation of the
execution of the reactionary leaders.
Then he was warned to escape to the
Russian legation, as his life was in
danger, and to abdicate and leave the
country with his father. A plan was
concocted to effect this escape while
his youthful majesty was riding in the
country.
On Monday. Aug. 9, therefore, the
little shah ordered his horses out and
once past the precincts of the palace
proposed a race with a eunuch of bis
father's household. Both spurred their
horses and galloped away. The other
attendants thought at first it was
merely a boy's game, but when it was
seen that the hor3es were galloping In
the direction of Zorguendeh they sus
pected a trick and pursued the Shan in
hot haste.
A courtier overtook the royal run
away, caught the bridle reins and
drew his revolver. "If your majesty
does not come down from your horse
I will aboot myself on the spot," he
said.
When tbe shah saw that his plan
had failed he returned to Sultanatabad.
Natural Gas For Train Lights.
An innovation in railway train light*

best trains between Cumberland and
Baltimore are being equipped with
storage tanks for natural gas. If th«f
experiment proves a success the road
plans to use only natural gas in all Its
trains.
