ASKSSECRETAR YROOT
FOR AID IN SEARCH
POLICE ARE SEARCHING
FOR WOMAN ACCOMPLICE
Philadelphia, June 1*.—"Nobody can
keep me from killing myself," Is the
declaration of John J. Kean, ex-banker
and ex-stock gambler, race track pat
mn. embezzler and kidnaper of little
Freddie Muth, now safely behind bars
In the city hall station. -
Karly thla morning It was reported
that Kean had made an attempt to
carry out his threat, but this Is denied
by the police, who are keeping constant
•vatrh on the man.
Search today Is directed toward a
non,an. who, the police declare, Is
Implicated In Kean's kidnaping plot.
Woman Mailed Lettars.
The woman Is said to hare mailed
the various letters, which Kean sent
to the Muths from time to time.
Kean's amazing clime, It has devel
oped. was a sequel to betting on horse
races and' stock gambling. He had
snusndered,.two fortunes In this man
ner. In desperate circumstances, he
embezzled *3*0 from his employer, and
to obtain money to make the amount
good, when threatened with arrest, he
kidnaped Freddie Muth. ‘
One of Kean’s fortunes was stolen
from the Harlem River Bank In New
York. He took 130,000 when he ab
sconded twelve years ago, and that
money went the way of the rest,.
His arrest for the kidnaping of the
Muth hoy was tl)e first dew to his
whereabouts since he robbed the bank
ift which he was head bookkeeper.
Boy’s Mothsr Ovsroome.
The boy's mother, however, may lose
her life by the act of. Kean. She rose
from, a bed where she had been for
days In a half delirious condition and
after’the first wild Joy of greeting her
imy, she succumbed again to a piteous
ly nervous condition.
Sometimes she cannot realize that
her little lad la back at his horns again,
safe and aound of mind and body.
Muth, tha father, shows the terrible
strain that has been on him. Today
he was sprawling on the floor with Ida
little boy, bouncing him In the air
while the little chap shouted In his
hspplness. Toy soldiers, toy horses,
enough blocks to build an Egyptian
pyramid, were on the lloor. The father
had bought the little fellow toya, neigh
bors had been coming In all day with
gift* for the little lad, and It was a day
of tremendoui excitement for the
youngster.

ALL ATLANTA COOKS
PLAN STRIKE JUL Y 1
If-you have a good cook, you had
better watch out. You may loae her—
For, according to current rumor, At
lanta la to be the scene on July 1 of
one of the most unique strikes In Its
history. '
It Is said that the greater number
of cooks, both good and bad, are or
ganising a union, and on the first of
the month will make a general de
mand over the city for higher wages.
And If the Increased coin Is not forth
coming, ths cooks nill walk out.
According to information, It seems
that the cooks feel they should re
ceive more money for their work of
bending over hot stoves during the
heated summer season, and they have
determined to "put It up to" ttje house
wives, In plain terms.
There must be more money, or, to
use an ancient expression. It will be a
case of “the lire's out and the cook'
gone home."
It la understood the movement I
general and embraces cooks In private
families, as well as big boarding houses
and hotels. Who started the move
ment for organisation Is not known,
but the plans are said to be well under
way.
Bn, If you don't want to pay more
wages and are not a good cook, you had
better take lessons. For, If the strike
comes and your cook deserta you, thsre
will be ample need of knowledge of
the art.
Report has It the cooks have settled
on July 1 as the date for the culmina
tion of the movement. On this date,
the hosts In the kitchen-camp will be.
gin to stir, and the revolution will
be on.
Whether the revolt will be restated
to any material extent Is merely a
matter of speculation. If It Is, the light
will be lively.

THE BEEF BILL
Measure Meets Ap
proval of President
Roosevelt.
By Private Leased Wire.
Washington, June If.—The house of
repreeentatlvee passed ths meat In
epectlon bill thla afternoon, only two
or three members dissenting, the final
form of the bill being such that It will
meet the approval of the president and
probably the senate.
This action was taken after a debate
lasting forty minutes, In which Chair,
man Wadsworth, of ths committee on
agriculture, said that with two txesp.
tlona tha alterations of the hill from
Its form as originally reported by hla
committee were mere verbiage- The
two exceptions were the sections put,
ting the Inspectorship under civil ser
vice and eliminating the broad court
review. Mr. Wadsworth roncluded:
"I want to assure the house that this
bill will Insure to public a rigid Inspec
tion law."
He was loudly applauded at tha con
clusion of his remarks.
Speeches were made by Mr. Lamb,
Mr. Wllllame, Mr. DeArmond against
ths proposition to make the govern
ment pay the entire coat of Inspection,
which will amount to 11,000,000 a year.
In the course of his remarks Mr.
Williams said there had lieen a good
deal of muck-raking during the djfi
cusslon of thla bill and that some gen
tlemen'a motives had been Impugned.
He wanted to say, however, that he
had served with Mr. Wadsworth and
had known him to vote against his
own Interests more times than any
other man In the house.
