NEW' YORK. August 23.-—-Detec-
tlves working on the nationowide
hunt for 3-n10nths-old Lillian Mc-
Kenzie kidnapped from her carriage
in front of the store in which her
mother was shopping last Saturday.
were working on two new theories
tonight.
One was that a woman mendicant
had taken the child to support her
hard lurk story when seeking aims.
The other. that e. childless wife.
whose husband refused to live with
her unless there was a child in the
home. had kidnapped Lillian.
In support of the first theory was
the story told by residents of Man-
hattan's Lower “Fest Side that on
Saturday evening only a few hours
after the kidnapping. a. women beg-
gar had visited their homes with a
crying child in her arms. She saJd.
according to detectives. that she
had seven other children at home.
The other clue came from two
agents of the Catholic Big Sisters
who reported that a women with no
children of her own desired them
so much that she made n habit of
caring for those left with her. It
also was said that this woman's hus-
band deserted her when children
left in her care were reclaimed.
The childless couple separated
when the husband took house furn-
ishings away after one of the child-
ren cared for by his wife had been
returned. Since the kidnapping.
however. the woman is reported to
have come back to her former home
and inquired if her husband had re-
turned. At' this time detectives say.

BERLIN'. Aug. 23.—(Associe.ted
Prees).—The compulsory requisition-
ing or confiscation of foreign cur-
rcncies wherever found. is provided
for in the government's program of
emer ncy measures which become.
eeeetive immediately. Announcement
of the drastic procedure was made
in the course of 3. conference be—
tween Chancellor Stresemanu. l-‘i-
nance Minister Hilferding and Mini».
ter of Ecconomlcs Raumcr. repre-
senting the government. and :\ drie-
gation from the League of indus—
trialists.
The government previously had
apprised the representatives of Der-
lin's banks of its determination to
gather in all gold currencices by
force wherever they were not sur-
rendered voluntarily. The chancel-
lor frankly informed the leaders of
finance and big business that the
government would not countenancu
the slightest attempt to evade the
provisions of the forthcoming emerg-
cnt‘y ordinance and would deal with
all slackers in the most drastic man-
her.
it is not proposed to be content
with a formal appeal to patriotism;
all foreign moneys will be gathered
in without much formality. the own-
ers being re-imbursed with paper
marks. The funds thus obtained
will be devoted in part to an effort
to regulate the internal financial
chaos which is causing unwarrant rd-
atlumccs in prices of food commod-
liter. and also to establish a steady
reserve from which food purchases
abroad may be made. The govern.
ment's money draft ordinance will
be published publicly throughout
Germany Friday.
The ordinance provides excessive
money fines and the confiscation of
private fortunes for the wilful con-
cealment 6r possession. of foreign
currencies, and demands voluntary
declaration of such possessim on the
part of owners. The extent to which
holdings will be requisitioned de-
pends upon whether or not the hold-
er needs them for legitimate bus-
iness purposes.
'The government expects to realize
between two hundred million and
three hundred million gold marks
from the initial raid. and expects
that the impending action will stimu-
late a desire to invest foreign cur-
rvncies in the new international gold
loan. preference. to having thrm cm:—
fiscated and ,rcplnccd with paper
marks.
Adflces received in London from
Berlin last evening said that the
German government had decided to
inflict the death penalty on the more
flagrant violators of the new meas-
ures to restore the currency. Direct
and later dispatches f‘rom the Ger-
man capital. however. contain no
reference to such a decision on the
part of the government.

Youngster-Gets Lost t
So. Norwalk Station
——Spends Night at
Home of Mrs. Ingles
—Sent to St. Mary’s
Home
Lost in Norwalk. That today is
the big adventure in the life of three
year old Jimmy Cavello of New
York city. who was found last even-
ing wandering around the South
Norwalk railroad gtation. Jimmy
followed several women about the
platform of the railroad station and
the attention of many of them was
called to the boy when each dis—
clnimed parentage the police were
notified. Motorcycle Policeman Boc-
nisch brought the child to police
headquarters. where after a great
deal of questioning Jimmy man-
aged to tell them his name. He then
proceeded to make himself at home
in police headquarters.
Mrs. “'llliam Ingles of Darien
offered to take Jimmy home for the
night and away went Jimmy with
Mrs. Ingles and seemed to be de-
lighted-over the fact that he was
going to have an automobile ride.
After Jimmy had left and the po-
lie had notified the authorities in
New York City and other places
Harry Anderson. of this city who is
a. conductor for the New York. New
Haven and Hartford Railroad Com-
pany told them that a number of
children had come up on the after-
noon trnin and had gone to. St.
Mary's home. in “‘est Rocks road.
The local police then got in touch
with the home there and they stated
that one of the, children 7 d come
upon the afternoon train 5' ml:-
sing.
It happened that when the child-
ren got off at the South Norwalk
station Jimmy strayed away and was
the children up at. the home. He
was taken to the home this morn-
ing.
During his stay at the City Hall
Jimmy made a great many friends
and when left this morning for
the home his pockets were well
filled with money that various
people had given him. So being lost
in Norwalk was not so bad an (-x-
pcrience ‘for Jimmy after all.
