RUMRUNNERS TURN T0 KIDNAP TRADE Detroit Too Hot, Say Police, Who Hunt'Lost Real Estate Dealer. By the Associated Press. DETROIT, November 3.—The theory that down-river rum-runners have turn- | ed to kidnaping because of unfavorable conditions in the “importing” business 15 being investigated today by detectives of the Detrojt police Blackhand squad in their search for Charles Kafer, re- uted wealthy retired real estate dealer, 1d since last Thursday night by kid- napers. NS Blackhand squad, said that with the | passage of the Canadian Jaw forbid- | ding export of liquor to the United States rum-runners have turned to “shaking down” wealthy persons who, for various reasons, would not appeal | to the law for protection. He said they | found this less hazardous than run- ning liquor across the river, up to the | last few days. However, threats rather | than acts have been used to obtain money. Kaier was taken from his home Thursday night by four men who posed as Federal prohibition agents. One of | them showed a badge and said_they were taking Kaler to_the United States district attorney’s office. Shortly after her husband left with the men Mrs.| Kaler received by telephone a demand for $10,000 ransom. She did not com- municate with police, but managed to induce the kidnapers to accept $2,000. Detectives learned of the kidnaping | through unannounced sources trailed Mrs. Kaier to a hotel, where she | went to deliver $2,000 of the ransom | money. She waited several hours Sat. urday afternoon and night, but the kid- | napers’ agent failed to appear. Two detectives sat in the lobby near the | tor John Hoffman, head of the woma. and others were waiting in the | | street. Mrs. Kaier went home in an hysterical condition, and neighbors | called police. | Inspector Hoffman said that Joseph ‘(Peajacket) Wozniak, alleged rum-run- ner, indicted two years ago in connec- | tion with the bribing of two-score bor- | der customs patrolmen, called at the XKaler home several times and finally | was taken into custody for questioning. | Entrance of Wozniak into the case led Hoffman to believe that Kaier was ac- quainted with rum-runners and is held and | |4 Student Riot Halts ‘When College Head ' Yields to Raiders By the Associated Press.

SAILOR KILLED BY AUTO THE _EVENING PALESTINE EXPLANATION BY BRITAIN EXPECTED Stitement Felt Necessitated by Storm of Criticism—Memoran- dum Felt to Be Misrepresented. By the Associated Press. LONDON, November 3—The British vernment is understood in well in- ormed quarters to be planning a statement in explanation and amplifi- cation of the recent memorandum set- ting forth its Palestine policy. In goyernment circles the view is held that such a statement is necessary be- cause of the storm of criticism of the original memorandum among Jews in various parts of the world. The memo- randum, it was sald today, has been net only misunderstood, but misrepre- sented. Actual compilation of a supplemental statement has not yet been started by rd Passfield, colonial secretary, but t is thought possible the matter will be ducuum ted at this week's meeting of the cabinet.
