A. Holzheimer, prominent Ket- chikan attorney, and candidate of the Divisional Democratic organi- zation for United States Attorney in a brief talk before the Cham ber of Commerce today. ’ He, William T.

Wyckoff, Forest Ranger for the Petersburg division of Tongass Nationa] Forest, were Chamber gu at its weekly lun- chieon meeting. Not Carpetbaggers Judge Holzheimer and Mr. Ma- honey emphasized the fact in a humorous vein, that they are not “carpetbaggers,” and are Alas- kans. “The pleasant days of my life were spent here and some of my dearest friends are Juneau res- idents,” added Judge Holzheimer.

Charles A. Lindbergh under threat to kidnap his second infant son, Jehn Morrow Lindbergh. The two youths are held for Federal authorities. They denied they had any connection with threatening letters or had they engaged in correspondence with a po- liceman who represented him- sell as a representative of Col. Lindbergh. The two youths were ar- rested in a ruse employed by the police when young Bry- ant took a $17,000 check, which had been planted in a stump in a wooded section some days ago, to a bank to obtain the cash. The police have been trying to trap the person attempting to ex- tort this money for more than two months when attention was called to the plot by Col. Lindbergh after he had received two threatening letters, The letters were turned over to the New Jersey police. Correspondence has been carried on for weeks by the police with the extortionists and the check for $17,000 was finally placed in the stump. This amount was cut down from the $50,000 demanded. Bryaut told the police he came upon the check yesterday by acci- dent and told Harvey about it. Harvey said he had nothing to do with it but did drive Bryant to the bank. ———————— ORGANIZATIONS DEMAND PROBE, STOCK MARKET Nuni, Claim Amazing Practices May Be Revealed by Committee WASHINGTON, Feb. 9. — De- investiga- tion by the Banking Committee which is investigating Stock Mar- ket practices is made by the Ex- change - Reform Committee and the Manhattan Board of Com- merce.
