Farmer Claims He | Was Attacked by Picket CHICAGO BANKER IS FREED BY KIDNAPERS Abductors, Apparently Fright- ened By Secret Six, Fail to Get Ransom Chicago, Oct. 11—(#)—Somewhat unnerved but otherwise unharmed, Norman B. Collins, Chicago banker, was back at his home Tuesday after having been freed by kidnapers who released him, and escaped a trap. No ransom money was paid. Collins, held captive 12 hours, was freed when the five men who had seized him and his wife Monday morning near their home in patrician Wilmette apparently became alarmed at the headlined activities of officials investigating the affair. Mrs. Col- lins had been released earlier. When she returned to her home, she found a note thrust under the door, directing her to drive along a designated route in northwest Chi- cago, with the ransom demanded, $5,000. Operatives of the Secret Six, Chi- cago anti-crime organization, were enlisted, and Alexander Jamie, head of the body, dressed one of his men in Mrs. Collins’ clothes, placed him in her car, and sent him on the course outlined by the kidnapers. In the rear seat was another official, armed with a machine gun, and other offi- elals were disguised and planted along the route. The kidnapers did not appear. Following his release, Collins went to a drug store where he telephoned his wife. #* had been held captive in what he said appeared to be an un- used garage and had not been harmed.

Accuses President of ‘Scheme to Reduce Price of U. S. Farm Products’ BRANDS HIM AS ‘EXPLOITER’ Departs From Prepared Address to Charge Anti-Trust Law Is Ignored Des Moines, Ia. Oct. 11—(P}— Speaking from the same speakers’ Platform upon which President Hoo- ver recently started his campaign, James A. Reed of Missouri attacked the administration Monday night in @ political speech billed as a reply to Hoover's opening address. He charged that disregard of the Sherman anti-trust law by Republi- can administrations, the Smoot-Haw- ley tariff, and what he described as President Hoover's “scheme to reduce the price of American farm products” were responsible for present economic conditions. The former Democratic senator branded the president as an exploiter of foreign enterprises whose “scheme,” he said, was “to reduce the prices of American farm products,” and de- clared that by so doing he “laid the foundation for agricultural bank- ruptcy.” Departing from his prepared text Reed launched an attack upon the last 12 years of Republican adminis- tration with a charge “the Sherman anti-trust law went into the discard” at the start of the Harding admin- istration. Mentions Insull Utilities The result, he declared, was the shrinking up of large “super-holding companies” whose stocks were thrown on the market “for gambling.” He named specifically the Insull corpor- ations, but said there were many’ other smaller similar projects launched. “When the bubble burst,” he said, “banks began to close. Finally the effect reached out into the heart of the country and all business became paralyzed.” He said the tariff caused a falling off in foreign trade, holding the Re- publican party responsible “for this catastrophe which swept away much of the wealth of our country.” He charged that as food adminis- trator, Hoover fixed the maximum price of wheat at $2.00 per bushel in the United States, while in foreign countries it was selling at consider- ably higher prices. “The inevitable consequence,” Reed said, “was that at the close of the war the farmer, instead of having accumulated money, had his notes in PRICE FIVE CENTS REBELLIONS RAGE IN ALL SECTIONS OF MONGOL AREA Hundreds of Thousands of Sol- diers Engage in Numer- ous Battles NANKING BECOMES UNEASY. General Feng Yu-Hsiang Comes Out of Retirement in Chihli Province Shanghai, Oct. 11. — () — North, South, East and West, hundreds of thousands of soldiers waged civil war and rebellion thoughout China and Manchuria Tuesday, from the north- ern border of Manchuria to the Prov- ince of Fukien on the south, and from western Szechuan province to Shantung on the east. There also were reports of an im- pending uprising in Chihli province. in which Peiping is located. These were based on a sudden mysterious appearance from retirement of Gen- eral Feng Yu-Hsiang, the “Christian General,” who recently went from his retreat in Shantung to Kalcan, west of Peiping. This gave rise to a report he is at- tempting to gather together the mili- tary leaders of the northwest for drive against Marshal Chang Hsiao- Liang, former Manchurian war lord, at Peiping, to regain control of north China. In the Province of Szechuan ap- proximately 250,000 soldiers are in- volved in the struggle for power among the military groups. The fighting centered eround Chengtu, the provincial capital, and, together with the other troubles, is the cause of considerable uneasiness na- tional government officials at Nan- king. In Shantung the fighting, pillaging and murder which began more than a week ago still is going on, in spite of appeals from local officials to the na- tional government for protection. The struggle is between Han Fu-Chu, the provincial chairman, and Lui Chen-Nien, war Jord of the Chafoo area. Entire villages were reported burned by the troops of both sides; refugees poured into Chefoo, many of them with bayonet wounds; farmers who had rejoiced over the first bountiful crop since the civil war of 1928 and 1929 are experiencing miserable cone ditions, and it is feared large stocks of linen and thread in the up-country workers in that cluding the famous 19th route army which put up the long defense of Shanghai against the Japanese last winter, are engaged in a bitter strug- gle against Communist forces and bandits. the bank and his mortgages in the vaults of the mortgage company.” Wilful Perversion He branded as a “wilful perversion of the truth” statements he attribut- ed to the t that Governor Roosevelt “promised a reduction of farm tariffs.” He also attacked the president for a statement made in the latter's speech here last week in which he said that at one time the United States was within two weeks of going off the gold standard. “His statement has done infinite harm and if credited will send a shiver of fear throughout the finan- cial and industrial world,” he de- clared. A crowd estimated by Coliseum of- ficals at 5,000 cheered the speaker throughout and broke into a long cheer as he finished with a tribute to Roosevelt as the man “to extricate this country from the morass in which it has been involved.” Former President of College Kills Self Washington, Pa., Oct. 11—()—The body of Simon 8.
