STEPFATHER IS of Young Heir Upsets Whole Case. WHITE PLAINS, N.Y, July 14. William Crossman Lee, heir to more than $1,000,000, and known as “the poor little rich boy" because of litiga- tion over his custody, has been kid- napped again. After being found in | Danbury, Conn, with his stepfather, ick Leo, and the latter's | mother, Mrs, Emma Kenyon Lee, H. Lyon of Port Chester was named as his guardian, the boy was returned to White Plains this morning. Mrs, Lee went to No, 9% € nue, her step-grandson een Ridge Ave- where she sometimes stays with Mr. Lee, the boy's stepfather, went to visit his attorneys, Strang & Taylor, While in the office of his attorneys he was arrested by Sheriff Weisen- danger on warrants sworn out Jagainst him and his mother, charg- ing kidnapping. The Sheriff also ar- rested Mrs. Lee at No. 35 Green Ridge Avenue. He induced her to bring young Lee to his office. When the automobile of the Sheriff arrived at the court house Edward Gore, an attache of Sidney 8. Syme, attorney of Mt. Vernon, who represents Mr, Lyon, the boy's guardian, was there with the latter, Mrs. Lee was urged to yleld custody of the boy to Mr. Lyon, She refused, While an argu- ment ensued the boy was hustled into Mr. Lyon's automobile and driven to- ward Port Chester. He was taken to the Lyon home, where Mrs, Lyon took him in charge. She told the boy everything would be all right, yes,” said the boy with a whim- per, “but I am tired of being dragged around the country,” The Lees were arraigned before Municipal Judge O'Brien on the kid- napping charge and pleaded not guilty, They were held in bail of $5,000 each for examination next Thursday, They engaged Lee P, Davis, wi known criminal lawyer of Westch inty and formerly Assis Attorney, to defend them. ed in getting the bail from $15,000 each, as origina! to $5,000, William Mills gr, father of the boy, has not figured in the present pro- ceedings. He has waged a fight for more than a year against the Lees to Ret custody of his son, whose mother was Georgia Crossman Lee, deceased, and a daughter of W, Crossman, known as the “Coffee King.” The Lees sought guardianship and custody of the boy and succeeded in being ap- polnted as such, but the appointment was later revoked and Mr. Lyon made guardian under a heavy bond, -— MILITIA CLASHES WITH MEXICAN BANDITS rots Exchanged With Band That Crossed the Border Near aunt He Donna, Tex, SAN ANTONIO, Tex., July 14 ‘The first clash between militia and Mex jean bandits was reported to Gen | Funston this afternoon He was in rmed that Company C, Second | xvas Infantry, fired on six Mexicans who crossed the line near Donna ox The band was driven Rio Grande after exchanged, this morning back across several shots t HELD,| TOTAL NOW New Turn to Tangled Affairs] Signs in Red Ink Put Upon where he had been taken when DeWitt | Cases Due to Immediate Investigation.

It was explained at tho Brooklyn Foard of Healtn office that the appar- ent Increase in the number of new cases in that borough did not mark an increase in the rate at which the dis- eane is developing, but simply meant that the large force of doctors put to work yesterday was able to inves- tigate suspected cases with greater ra- pidity than the force which had been doing that work before, Thirty new doctors were added to the eighteen previously employed and this force cleaned up thelr reports on all suspected cases by 4 o'clock yea- terday afternoon, There were no un- checked cases held over to go into to- morrow’s report.
