While Walter I jew is Ross, kid napped in 1874 with the famous Charley Rofss, and then released, denied yesterday at the New» York * Stock Exchange, of which he is a member for Post and Flagg. No. 49 Broad Street, that the man brought to New York by Mr. and Mrs. Pierre C. Starr was the missing Charley Ross, a previously unknown man called upon the Starrs at the Hotel Vanderbilt, where they lived, and gave contrary evidence. After ta king for an hour with the* man brought North by the Starrs a.s the missing Charley Ross, the cen tral figure of what has been the Greatest American Mystery for fifty-two years, Frederick R. Lewis of No. 750 Monroe Street. North Bergen, X'- J.. gave the following af fidavit before a notary : “Today. June 7.1 saw a copy of the New York World .showing pic tures of (’barley Ross as a baby and of a man supposed to be the same Charley Ross at the present time. Playmate of I.cst Boy. “I recollected that as a boy 1 had often played at the old Ross home at No. 9 Washington Line, German town. near Philadelphia. Pennsyl vania. and had been one of those who played with Charley Ross very shortly before he was kidnapped on July 1. 1874. “I believe 1 am related on the ma ternal side of the family for, as a boy, 1 used to call a lady there Aunt Sarah, and now presume this to have been Charley Ross's mother, who had been Sarah A. Lewis be fore her marriage. “My curiosity was aroused and I thought I might be of service in proving or disproving the claimant's identity. I came at once to the Hotel Vandervilt and introduced myself to Mr. ami Mrs. Pierre C. Starr. They questioned me and. discovering my good intentions and open-minded ness. brought into the room the sup posed to be Charles Rons. Childhood Incidents Recalled. “Os his own free will he repeated to me all he could remember of hi* oar’y childhood which checked up with my more accurate memory of Charley Rons and the Ross place, for I believe I was eight years old at the time of the kidnapping when Charley was four. “Naturally my memory would be clear and there were some things which I remembered and he did not, especially the names of the coach man. etc. “My Corroboration of his childish memories and the traits and appear ance of him induced mo strongly to believe he is the lost Charley Ross. “Without having any interest in the ease beyond that if helping a man to find his place in the world. I now. of my own will, affirm that the man presented to me here today as the supposed Charley Ross is to the best of my belief the Charley Ross that I kn<Hv as a boy and played with more than fifty years ago.” Frequently Played Together. Mr- Lewis said in his childhood lie lived iu Locust Street. Philadelphia. Although the Ross’s home was far off, he frequently went there visiting A few years ago a “complete” hardware stock included something like 2, 750 kinds, types and sizes of hammers and axes. Due to standard ization this number now has been re duced by more than two-thirds.

Calls Claim Preposterous. I Walter L. Ross, interviewed by a ‘ representative of The World at the Stock Exchange, t<aul the man’s claims were preposterous and that he 1 would not investigate them. He said the dikappearanee of his brother for ■ more than half a century was a ten ■ dcr matter in the family and he * would not reopen the wound. He as serted the family was annoyed con i tinually by cranks ami those who aimed to exploit their misfortune. Mr. and Mrs. Starr were indig ■ hunt, at the Hotel Vanderbilt, that * their motives should be impugned. : They declared they had been drawn . into the matter, even against their will, by the force of circumstances, and cou’d not now shirk what ap i peared to them a duty, in spite of i the annoyance and indignity to 4 which this course might subject 1 them. > The Starrs said they had sent Walter Ross a telegram warning him against making any .-statement - which they would consider libelous. Seek Only Justice. “Wo have been drawn into this matter most reluctantly.” said Mr. Starr, “ami only though our desire to see justice done. I am at a levs to 1 understand the attitude of others who may be concerned. It would seem to me that the only possible i point of view is one of cooperation and helpfulness. The evidence ad- ] diieed go far has all been affirmative ■ and cannot be destroyed by mere > categorical denials and negation. “Whi’e I regret most deeply the < necessity of making thus statement, 1 it seem requisite to say that if the t Rots family desire to disclaim this relationship, they are now under the * obligation of disproving it.” s Walter L. Ross, who < sun mutes < each da.V from Philadelphia, was j stolen with Charley, his brother by f Mosher and Douglas. After the ped dlers and kidnappers had driven ! some distance they set Walter down i and drove off with Charley. ('barley was never seen afterward.

New York, June 10.—Leaders of the cotton manufacturing industry at a meeting today took steps toward the organization of the industry on n national scale. To this end the meeting adopted a resolution for appointment of i com mittee of ten to study the steel and j other industries and decide on a plan for the cotton industry. Half of the committee will be named by W. B. MacCaU. president of the National Association of Cotton Manufacturers and half by James P. ! Gossett, head of the American Cotton Manufacturers Association. The idea that nationalism should sec tionalism in the industry was adopted after Arthur H. Ix>we, of Boston, former president of botii associations, had said : “The cotton industry is in a bad ; way. and we all know it and admit j it. It is over developed—we nn»ke i to# much of some things for the mar ket. We should have a controlling in fluence in the cotton industry, an in fluence such as that controlling the steel industry.** Manufacturers present thought it probable the committee would consid- j er the proposed cotton textile insti-' tute advocated last year by U.e Cot ton Manufacturers’ Association of Georgia. This institute would as semble and distribute information as to w’aat the industry is doing end what the market needs, i The board of governors of the na tional association of cotton manufac turers will meet in Boston Monday and it is expected shortly after this meeting President MaeOoll will an nounce his appointments to the com mittee.
