The prisoners were Frank Souder of Benton, Ill; Julian, or Dave Jones of Peoria. Souder was brought into criminal court on a habeas corpus writ, but at the strenuous plea of the state was remanded into the sheriff’s custody temporarily. i Officials asserted the alleged kid- naping gang included several'men of college training, connected in no way with the organized gangs of Chicago and southern Illinois. Two suspects, one of them “Handsome Jack” Klutes, whom the officers described as a University of Illinois graduate, were reported to have fled from Chicago recently when the roundup started. It was 2 a. m. Thursday before one of the trio broke down. Each had been held secretly several days. The list of alleged victims of the gang, said by police to have been in virtual retirement since enjoying peak prosperity in 1930 and 1931, was topped by James Hackett, suburban Blue Island gambler, kidnaped twice and forced to pay a total of $150,000. Others were: William Urban, Peoria, Ill, gambler, reported ran- som, $100,000; James Ward, Joliet, Il, brewer seized in Chicago Heights, $45,000; John J. Lynch, official of the General News Bureau, which pro- jvides bookmakers with racing infor- jmation, $50,000; three unnamed Au- rora, Ill., gamblers, each reported to |have paid $10,000, and two Iowa men, also unnamed, whose ransom pay- ments were variously reported at $25,000 each and a combined total of $16,000. \Carleton Is Asked To Join Conference Northfield, Nov. 9.—An invitation tc | membership in the North Central con- | ference has been received by Marshall Diebold, athletic director at Carleton college. The bid came from Jack West, di- rector of athletics at the University of North Dakota. Because the midwest conference, of which Carleton is a member, plans to drop the Round Robin basketball ‘schedule, it is believed the bid will |be given serious consideration. Carleton had considerable difficul- ty in scheduling basketball games un- til the midwest group adopted the |Round Robin schedule. , “Membership in the north central conference, if it is accepted,” Die- bold said, “would not mean that Car- leton would sever connections with the midwest circuit.” Although acceptance of the invita- tion is being seriously considered, no action will be taken until the meeting of the midwest conference in Chica- go in December. The North Central annual meeting also will be held then. The North Central group includes Agricultural College, and Morningside University of Des Moines, Iowa.

Chest Canvassers Are Urged to Report Soon Committees of businessmen conduct- ing the annual community chest cam- paign in Bismarck are urged to make reports on their progress at the earli- est possible convenience, it was an- nounced Thursday by H. P. Goddard, secretary. Goddard said six committees of the army which began a canvass of the Capital City Tuesday forenoon have failed to make any report at his of- fice in the World War Memorial build- ing. Committees are requested to make reporis on their progress whether they have completed the work in their Particular districts or not. Reports made at his office continue encouraging, Goddard said, with an excellent prospect that the goal of $10,000 for the community chest bud- get will be realized. The community chest fund wfll be divided among 12 relief organizations and funds.

A program of tax legislation to be submitted to congress along with re- peal of the Volstead act to permit sale of distillates in the District of Colum- bia and the territories will be con- sidered at a meeting of department representatives at the White House Friday. This program includes plans to keep arid those states that did not vote to ratify repeal, and may revive the sending of the much feared pre-pro- hibition revenue agent into moon- shine areas. Objectives of the program are tem- perance and methods of dispensing alcoholic drinks without the return of the old-time saloon. In addition, steps are to be taken through the coast guard to prevent smuggling of |foreign liquor across the eastern and ;Southern coasts where rum fleets are reported concentrated in’ a move to vade the $5 a gallon import tax. The house ways and means commit- tee will open hearings on liquor tax- ation legislation November 27 to pre- pare for early congressional action in January.

Although the amendment leaves to states the method by which liquor may be dispensed, it provides federal protection against liquor shipments -nto dry states.
