By the Associated Press. KANSAS CITY, December 17.—The Kansas City Star says today that| George E. Huckins, 38, who with his father, Elmer E. Huckins of Cedar Rapids, Iowa, is alleged to have ob- tained approximately $3,000,000 from Middle Western investors on promises of high interest rates, is a patient at an Excelsior Springs, Mo., sanitarium. Huckins, who suffered a nervous breakdown at Cedar Rapids last Friday, was received at the hospital Saturday and registered under an assumed name, the Star says. Huckins arrived in care of a registered nurse and had $10,000 in_currency in his possession. Charges against the elder Huckins of missed several months ago at Hancock. Wis. Dividends ranging from 26 to 52 per cent paid on money invested with him attracted the attention of Govern- ment officials. He has not been seen at his Hancock home for three weeks. E. J.
