THINK NOW THE CHILD WILL LIVE Had Been Exposed to Rain and Cold Many Hours and Was Nearly Frozen—At Home of Policeman Now. A story strikingly similar to flint of the infant Moses is being told here to day by police officers \vht> tell of find ing a tiny baby boy in a patch of woods' iu Xo. 5 township this morning. The hiding place of this modern child was not so different from that of the ancient babe, for although the deserters of tue babe found this morning had used broom straw and weeds to hide his resting place instead of bull rushes, they had wrapped him in swadling clothes and had given iiim n basket for a crib. ' The finding of the bubo was reported by members of the family of Mr. Ed mund Cook, \ylm lives about six miles from Concord, in Xo. 5 township, on the old Salisbury ltoad. As soon as the child was found, the police officers were notified and they scoured the boy and brought him to Concord. • The kind Providence that guarded the destiny of this babe was surely the same that Watched over' Moses, for the - fact that the child was alive when found is nothing less than a miracle. Every fact established so far in the case proves proves almost conclusively that the child hud been deserted a few hours after his birth and had lain for hours in the steady, hard rain that fell Friday and Friday night. Although half frozen from his horrible exposure, the child was still living when found and so far as can be determined now, he will eontinue to live. Friday afternoon, aecordiug to infor mation secured by, jxliice officers, some member of Mr. Cost's ‘family saw a bas ket in n imtch of tyoods near his home. Little was thought <tf.iT al Ibe |lme, but when the basket was seen again this . AMtmat Xn iMui«t> >•**;*«».' tigation was rtijtde. Cuddled In Hie bot tom of the basket, with only a small nmonnt of clothing and nothing to pro tect it from the weather, lay the babe, too cold to .move and too near dead to mnke complaint even in baby language. A hurried examination showed that the child was still alive, so it was' car ried to Mr. CooVs home and protected until the officers arrived. The fact that the basket was in the woods Friday proves witliqpt doubt that the child was there all night and was subjected to the heavy rains that, fell, shortly after dusk. Its clothing, cheap in texture and.' apparently handed down from some other babe, was soaking wet and the little body was us wet as if it had just been bathed. The hiding place of the baby was about 100 yards from Keller Church. The sihil is not a secluded one by any means, and would hardly have been selected as a day light hiding pfyCe. For that reason it is believed by police officers that the child was deserted Tliursilay night ami that it remit in(M in the woods all of Thursday night. Friday and Friday night. It is also pointed out that per sons placing the child in the woods in daylight would have been easily seen from the home of M?. Cook and other persons living in the neighborhood. As no one was seen near the hiding place Friday, it is practically certain that the heartless parents deserted their child Thursday nighjt. As soon as the officers returned to Con cord with the child they had it examiued by a physician of the city, who express ed the opinion that the child was not over two days old and would live. In the opinion of the physician the baby was not fatally exposed and with projier care he expects it to rally aiid''beeomr a normal child. The fact that the little one is not more than two days old indicates that it probably was born Thursday morning and was carried that night to the woods to die or be picked up by some person with more pity than its par ents. . After having the child examined and being told that it should be taken in charge by some' woman, Assistant Chief of Police Widenhouse carried it to his home and left it with Mrs. Widenhouse. Dry clothing in abundance was furnished the infant, who showed signs of vigor ous life after being warmed and fed, and who soon slept i*f peace on the lap of his adopted mother. So far police officers are "without clues that would assist in the hunt for the parents of the child, but # everything pos sible will be done in an effort to locate the couple that deserted the babe.

ISradstreetfs Review t>f Trade Condi tions. Xew York, Xov. 23.—Brndstreet's to morrow will say : “Except in n few centers where indus trial activity is exceptional, or where excellent returns have been received from the cotton crop, jobbing and retail trade are quieter and industry has as sumed a rather slower pace. For this, warm weather, affecting jobbers and manufacturers as well as retailers, is mainly responsible. Price uncertainties still affect distant buying. Op the other hand, collections, which have lagged conspieuouslly behind trade reports well throughout the year, show another slight gain, there is more evidence of interest in holiday goods and by no means least, the volume of buying in pig iron has been enough to apparently cheek the long downward swing in High Priced Evangelists. \ We find the following in the report of the session of the Methodist Confer ence at Elizabeth City in the North Carolina Christian Advocate: The presiding elders in the reports gave little encouragement to the money grabbing evangelists. One elder report ed that a pastor in this district on a little cotton mill charge received more members into the church than all the pastors in another place received from a SIO,OOO evangelistic campaign. Like expressions were reported by others of the presiding elders. According to the presiding elders these high priced cam paigns by professional evangelists have proved collossal failures.

WHAT Will T HE NEW uuVtRNMEHT BE COMPOSED FROM? This is Important Question Throughout Germany Fol lowing Breakdown of the Stresemann Ministry. NEW GOVERNMENT ' WILL BE FORMED Rumor Says Herr Von Kar dorff Has Been Asked to Form Cabinet and Expect ed to Accept the Mission. Berlin, Nov. 24 (While awaiting word from President Ebert as to his plans for the government that is to succeed the • defeated Stresemann ministry, political leaders this morning were discussing several possibilities the situation con tained. The nature of the new government re mained a mystery overnight, and. observ ers were wondering whether the Presi dent would try another parliamentary ministry or whether he would decide upon a restricted. The socialists late last night let it be known they would be “benevolently neutral” toward a coa lition representing the clericals, the democrats and the German peoples par ty, but they made it plain they would not approve the inclusion of non-partisan experts in such a ministry. In view of the political difficulties ex perienced by Chancellor Stresemann in dealing with reiehstag, some party lead ers felt dissolution of the national legis lature was the only alternative to a pop ular coalition. The radical leaders, however, were continding that the Presi dent should make every effort to recruit a government from parliamentary sources. Downfall of Stresemann Government as Viewed in London. London, Nov. 24.—The downfall of the Stresemann government is viewed here as an event of the utmost significance, pos sibly involving developments destined to have a deep and lasting effect on all Europe.

The message is expected to be brief. Little is known of the details of the message, but it is generally thought its principal sections will deal with taxa tion, agricultural relief, and transporta tion. Morality and Law. Baltimore, Nov. 22.—“ You can never dragoon men by law into morality.” Arcbishop Michael J. Curley, of Baltimore, told members of the Kiwnnis Cllub a a luncheon at the Emerson Hotel today. “We have too many laws,” the Arch bishop declared. "There is a tendency to pile on a law to meet every new condi tion that arises in public* life. If a man drinks, drinking is forbidden: if a man happens to cut his throat with a razor, a law banning razors at once goes into effect. Knives and forks will probably be forbidden as lethal weapons within a few years " Without law there is no liberty, and a deep respect- for law is essential, but i men who work constitutionally for the i repeal of a law in which they do not , believe are fulfilling their sacred civic duty, just a« certainly as the men who established the law. “There is no* combination of foreign forces strong enough to take away the , liberty of the American people, but the danger from within comes perilously c’ose when the home is no longer sacrosanct, and when the home, the . foundation of our nation, loses its re ! spoet for the law.” Predicts Earthquake in South America. Washington, Nov. 24.—A prediction that the world's next catastrophic earth quake will occur in Central or South America was made iff an address last night by Father Tondorff, the seismol ogist at Georgetown University whose observation gave the world its first news of a violent earthquake which several hours later was found to have wrought vast destruction in Japan.
