It was learned the Farmers Nation- al Grain Corporation wired the state railroad commission asking that the embargo be lifted on grain for relief burposes, but that the matter was re- ferred to Governor Langer.

PRINTER IDENTIFIES THREE DEFENDANTS AS HAMM KIDNAPERS Points to Sharkey, Schaeffer and McFadden as Men in Abduction Car St. Paul, Nov. 15.—(?)—Walter C. Bowick, St. Paul printer, Wednesday Positively identified three Chicago men charged with the kidnaping of William Hamm Jr., millionaire St. Paul brewer. Bowick, a government witness in ‘the federal court ¢rial, pointed out Willie Sharkey as the ‘driver of the car in which Hamm was spirited away to an unlocated hideout where he was held almost four days for $100,- 000 ransom. ‘Then, in quick succession, he point- ed to Gustav Schaefer, as another man in the car, and then switched his finger to Eddie “Father” McFad- den, as the man who sat on Hamm's left in the automobile. Bowick was near the Hamm brew- ery when the seizure was made. State Witness Wavers Branded a “hostile” witness by Jo- seph B. Keenan, special government prosecutor who threatened “impeach- ment if necessary,” Leo Allison, St. Paul taxicab driver and former Minot. N. D., druggist, finally wound up by admitting Eddie “Father” McFadden bore a “strong facial resemblance” to the man who gave him a ransom letter here last June 16. Allison's testimony shared the spot- ght with that of Dr. H. D. Labis- sioniere, St. Paul dentist, and C. J. Thomas, who identified Roger Touhy as “resembling” the man who left a ransom note in Thomas’ drug store last June 16, and Daniel Rush, time- keeper, who said Willie Sharkey “re- sembled” the driver of the kidnapers’ automobile when the millionaire brewer was abducted near his brew- ery June 15 and held for $100,000 ran- som. while, the government still The Weather Fair A cThuraday uraeled, ising tempered PRICE FIVE CENTS easu SECRETARY T0 TAKE REST IN ERFORT 16 REGAIN HIS HEALT., Morgenthau to Direct Fiscal Department Until Cabinet Officer Returns ACHESON RESIGNS POST Undersecretary Leaves Govern- Washington, Nov. 15.—()—Prest- dent Roosevelt Wednesday announced that Secretary Woodin would begin @ “complete leave of absence” at the end of the week and that pending his return, Henry Morgenthau, Jr., would be acting secretary of the treasury. Undersecretary Dean Acheson har resigned and Morgenthau will be ap- pointed to that post. ‘Woodin tendered his resignation te the president several days ago but Roosevelt declined to accept it, sug- gesting instead that the secretary be completely freed of all governmental responsibilities while he takes a com- plete rest. He has been suffering from # throat infection which has required constant treatment by New York specialists. ‘Will Accept No Pay During his absence, Woodin wil accept no remuneration from the government. In tendering his unaccepted resig- nation, Woodin said he had attempt- ed to stay away from his desk of late and so far as possible recuperate from his ailment. He added, however, that he war unable to do this fully and that since his physicians had ordered rest and a change of climate he was submit- ting his resignation. In reply, the president said that “the first consideration” was Wood- in’s “complete recuperation.” | Since Woodin could not attain thu ‘and at the same time continue with |his duties, the president suggested that he take a “complete leave of absence” and “doall you can to get full health and strength, without any re- |sponsibility or thought of work.” Is on Gold Committee Morgenthau has been head of the farm credit administration. Re- cently he was given @ prominent part in working out administration monetary policies and was placed upon the committee which daily fixes the price at which the Reconstruc- tion Corporation makes purchases of newly mined domestic gold. Acheson came to the treasury from the legal profession. During Woodin’s absences he has carried almost the entire burden of directing the treasury. Roosevelt Wednesday expressed great satisfac- tion with the services he has ren- dered and expressed his regret that Acheson was leaving the government. Woodin told newspapermen he | Would leave for Arizona within a week or 10 days, where he hoped to effect a permanent cure for his ail- |ing throat. “My personal affairs here will be wound up in a few days,” he said, “after which I will go to New York to wind up my affairs there. Then I shall go to Arizona where the cli- mate is particularly suitable to my condition.” He appeared jubilant. Leaving a White House conference on liquor control, Acheson declined to offer any comment on his resignation and seemed surprised that the an- nouncement already was public. Asked if he approved or disapproved of the administration gold buying Policy, he stood on previous declara- tions that he would say nothing. Manitoba Fishermen Attack U. S.
