Twenty Years in
Prison.
POLICE ARE SEARCHING
FOR WOMAN IN CASE
Irisoner Declares That He Will
Make an End of Himself
Without Delay.
By Private Leased Wire.
Philadelphia, June II.—About 13:30
o'clock this afternoon, Judge Selz
kerger sentenced John Kean, the kid.
naper of little Freddie Muth, to twenty
years In the eastern Pennsylvania pen!
tentlary In solitary confinement u
hard labor.
POLICE ARE SEARCHING
FOR WOMAN ACCOMPLICE
Philadelphia, June 19.—"Nobody can
keep me from killing myself," Is the
declaration of John J. Kean, ex-banker
and ex-stock gambler, race track pat
ron, embezzler and kidnaper of little
Freddie Muth, now safely behind bars
In the city hall station.
Early this 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
ivatch on the-man.
Search today Is directed toward a
woman, who, the police declare, la
Implicated In Kean's kidnaping plot.
Woman Mailed Letters.
The woman Is said to have mailed
the various letters which Kean sent
to the Muths from time to time.
Kean's amazing crime. It has devel
oped, was a sequel to betting on horse
races and stock gambling. He had
squandered two fortunes In this man
ner. In desperate circumstances, ho
embezzled 9320 from hjy 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 920,000 when he ab
sconded twelve years ago, and that
money went the way of the rest.
His arrest for the kidnaping of the
Muth boy was the first clew to Ills
whereabouts since he robbed the bank
in which he was head bookkeeper.
Boy’s MotKer Overcome.
The boy's mother, however, may lose
her life by the act of Kean. She rose
I from a bed where she had been for
. days In a half delirious condition and
after the first wild joy of greeting her
boy, she succumbed again to a piteous
ly nervous condition.
Sometimes she cannot realize that
her little lad Is back At his home again,
safe and sound of mind and body.
Muth, the father, shows the terrible
strain that has been on him. Today
he waa sprawling on the floor with his
little boy, bouncing him In tho air
while the little chap shouted In hts
happiness. Toy soldiers, toy horses,
enough blocks to build an Egyptian
pyramid, were on the floor. The father
had bought the little fellow toys, I ■
bora had been coming In all day with
gifts for the little lad, and It was'a day
nf tremendous excitement for the
youngater.
Only twenty-two and a half hours
elapsed from tho capture of Kean, the
kidnapper of Freddie Muth, until he
was sentenced to prison, virtually for
life.

ALL ATLANTA COOKS
PLAN STRIKE JUL Y 1
If you have a good cook, you had
better watch out. You may lose her—
For, according to current rumor, At
lanta Is to be the scene on July 1 of
one of the most unique etrlkes In Ite
history.
It Is said that the greater number
of cooks, both goqd and bad. are or
ganising a union, and on the flret of
the month will make a general de
mand over the city for higher wages.
And If the Increased coin Is not forth
coming, the rooks will walk out.
According to Information, It aeemi
that the cooks feel they should re
ceive more money for their work of
bending over hot etoves during the
heated summer season, and they have
determined to “put It up to” the house
wives In plain terms.
There must be more money, or, to
use an ancient expresalon. It will be a
case of "the lire’s out and the cook'a
gone home."
It Is .understood the movement Is
general and embraces cooks In prtvsts
families, as well as big boarding houses
and hotels. Who started the move
ment for organization Is not known,
but the plans are said to be well under
way.
So. 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 anil your cook deserts you, there
will be ample need of knowledge of
the art.
Report has It the cooks have settled
on July 1 ae the date for the culmlna
tlon of the movement. On thla date,
the hosts In the kitchen-camp will be
gin to stir, and the revolution will
be on.
Whether the revolt will be resisted
to sny material extent Is merely a
matter of speculation. If It Is, the fight
will be lively.

review. Mr. Wadsworth concluded:
"I want to assure the house that this
bill will Insure to public a rigid inspec
tion law."

deul of muck-raking during the dis

had known him to vote agalnat hla

BA8IS HAS BEEN REACHED
BETWEEN THE TWO FACTION8.
By Private Leased Wire.
Washington, Juno 19.—As a result of
several conferences and much discus
sion, a basis of complete agreement
on tho moot Inspection legislation be
tween tho house committee on agricul
ture nnd President Booaovelt has bocn
reached.
At a meeting yesterday afternoon at
the White House, Speaker Cannon rep
resented the committee and subse
quently spent some time explaining
the situation to tho committee In Hs
rooms at the cnpltol.
The bill will authorise an annual ap
propriation of 22,909,009 to pay tho
cost of Inspection and will contain no
provision for the levy of an assessment
to make up any deficiency In the
amount available for thla work as sug
gested by Mr. Cowan, representing tho
Texas cattle growers, and later urged
by the prealdent.
No court review provision will bo
contained In tho measure. This action
meets the suggestion of tho president.
Tho words "In the Judgment of the
secretary of agriculture" will not bo
Inserted, as suggested by the president,
and this conclusion now meets Mr.
Roosevelt's approval.
The section waiving tha civil service
law for one year In the selection of
Inspectors will go out of the provision,
also one of the president's recommen
dations.
There la to be no date on the label
of the packing nf meat food products.
In thla the prealdent yields to the com'
mlttee.
The language which gives Inspectors
the right to enter the packing plants at
all times la amplified by the words
whether the same be In operation or
