STAR, WASHINGTON, GIRL'S KIDNAPERS OBJECT OF SEARCH 530,000 Ransom Paid by| City Manager of Kansas City for Daughter. By the Associated Press. KANSAS CITY, Mo., May 29.—The kidnapers of Mary McElroy, who wasi freed yesterday after payment of $30,000 ransom, were sought today by postal | inspectors, Department of Justice agents and virtually entire police forces of Kansas City and Kansas City, Kans. The first_objective was to locate the house in the basement of which the vear-old daughter of H., F. McElroy, manager, was held captive for 29 hours. Authorities believed the house is | in Wyandotte County, Kans. The law _enforcement agencies of the Federal Government were _enlisted through the office of W. L. Vandeventer, district attorney, who pointed out that two Federal statutes had been vio- lated, the use of the mails in the kid- naping and the interstate transporta- ( tion of a kidnaped person. Prosecute Under Missouri Laws. If the men are captured, however, prosecution probably will be under the | Missouri_law, which makes kidnaping & capital offense. Thomas J. Higgins, chief of detectives, | said he had asked police in another city to arrest & man in connection with the abduction. He declined to designate the city or disclose the name of the man. It was merely a clue that was being run down, he said. Three men were reicased today after questioning the police last night. | have told the police to put in 24 hours a day on this case,” the city manager said. “While my daughter was in their hands I had but one thought, | and that was to get her back. Now | she is back, and there will be no let-| up in our efforts to run down her kid- | napers.” Probably Four or Five. Chief Higgins said the number in the gang had not been determined, but was probably four or five. Miss McElroy disclosed that she de- clined a chicken dinner yesterday, much to the surprise of her captors. “I would prefer a lettuce and tomato sandwich,” she told one of the kid- napers. “I can’t picture you down here eat- ing a sandwich and us upstairs eating a chicken dinner,” he commented, “but all right, if that's what you want. But I'll say you're one girl in a million.” Crying proudly, “I didn't break. I didn’t break,” and wearing on her dress two roses given her by her abductors, Miss McElroy was released at the en- trance to the Milburn Golf Club short- ly before 4 p.m. Sunday. Her release came an hour and a half after Mr. Mc- Elroy and his son, H. F. McElroy, jr., had met the kidnapers at an isolated point on a country road west of Kan- | sas City, Kans., and delivered to them $30,000 in currency. | The young woman was taken from the family home in the fashionable country club district of Kansas City about 11 o'clock Saturday morning by two men who, showing weapons, forced | the housekeeper to admit them. Miss McElroy was in her bath. They com- l peiled her to dress quickly. | After hours of anxious waiting, the city manager received a series of letters HAT'S going on in “ your outer office, boss?” Detective Ho- gan queried of In- spectator Willing. “It looks like the Follies chorus was waiting out there.” “I'll tell you,” Willing said. “If you want & bride, this is the place to come for one.

At her home the blue-eyed, brown- haired girl related calmly the details| of her experience. She said she was kept prisoner in a basement room of a house, the location of which was un- known to her.

Her captors treated her with every consideration, she said, the only in- MISS MARY McELROY, MORE THAN 1,000 ATTEND SERVICE Children of Mary Take Part in Rites Coinciding With Beati- fication of Sister Laboure.

BY JAMES WALDO FAWCETT. A great rally of the religious and ethical forces of the Nation, to as- semble in the Capital, was called for yesterday afternoon by Right Rev. James E. Freeman, Bishop of Washing- ton, in the course of a sermon preached to 12,000 people gathered on the sou ™ ~'ope of Mount St. Alban for the six_h annual massing of the cclors service in memory of the heroic dead. With Gen. John J. Pershing beside him in a woodland sanctuary raised under the pines and representatives of 500 veterans, patriotic and civic organ- izations within hearing of his voice, the diocesan chief of the Protestant Episcopal Church likened “the present breakdown of morale” to the dangers of a great war and summoned the Christian fellowship of the entire country to join in an endeavor to restore the spiritual vitality of the people. Greeting From President. Bishop Freeman only a moment be- fore had read a greeting from Presi- dent Franklin D. Roosevelt. “It is with much regret that I find I must forego the pleasure of attending the ceremony of the massing of the colors,” !the message said. “Will you, for me, convey my sincere greetings to all at- tendivg his solemn and inspiring service? The Cathedral and those who are responsivle for and participating in this snnual demonstration of patri- otism and loyaly to flag and country are to be ccngratulated. You co:- tribute each year in this way to the memory of those who made the supreme sacrifice ‘or their country and for the perpet.ation of its high traditions and ideals.” . But Bishop Freeman, while praising the President for his “heroic endeavors to bring about better conditions,” doubt- ed if the “high traditions and ideals” for which the remembered dead have given “the last full measure of devotion” can be effectively maintained without unfaltering dedication of the living to that purpose. He attributed the wide- spread distress of the people to de- parture from American concepts of jus- tice and right. “It is perfectly futile,” he declared, “to pay honor to those who gave their lives for the flag unless the principles represented by the flag are preserved. For the past 8 or 10 years we have been suffering from a moral sag. A restored morale is what is needed today. Moral rehabilitation is what we must have. A religious reawakening is demanded, Asks Spiritual Mobilization. “The political and economie forces of the country are mobilizegd to do their part in the struggle back to prosperity and peace. Why not the spiritnal forces of the land? Why not a great gather- ing here in Washington of the religious and ethical leaders of the whole United States. I suggest such a mobilization. Let the representatives of all the spirit- ual comununities—of the great Roman, church, of the anclent Jewish church, of the great Protestant churches—come together to stand behind the President in building up the moraie of ‘the country. Let us hear, not the sound of “Taps,’ but the sound of ‘Reveille’ the call to awaken. America must be reborn.” Gen. Pershing already had indicated a similar thought in his address. “It is fitting,” he said, “that we meet in this inspiring temple of nature, dedi- cated to the Almighty, for commemora- tion on the Sunday nearest Memorial day of all those sons and daughters of the Republic who have laid down their lives for their country. Indeed, one cannot stand on this sacred spot and face this vast assemblage without being deeply stirred by the spiritual emotion which underlies all true patriotism. Believes in Religious Foundation. “As a strong believer in adequate preparedness, it has long been my con- viction that the real strength of the Nation rests on the religious sentiment of the citizens. The Capital of the Nation is the strategic point at which to make such a demonstration of our common Christianity as this service exemplifies. “The Cathedral crcwning Mount St. Alban and already towering above the stately trees which partially shelter this amphitheater will speak in a com- pelling way of the religion of the Re- public. I consider it both a privilege and an honor to play a humble part in the upbuilding of the new Cathedral in the Nation's Capital. “Such a memorial tribute as we are paying this afternoon to brave men and brave women of all faiths and creeds fits appropriately into a Ca- thedral setting. “While I was a cadet at West Point, in the old chapel where we used to attend Sunday services, I recall the inscription, ‘Righteousness exalteth a nation.” That thought has come back to me with redoubled fcrce this after- noon. Good citizenship itself is de- pendent upon the high sense of moral obligation of our people, of our electors and of our representatives. Christianity as Bulwark, “The basis of that obligation is the moral teaching of religion. To my mind Christianity is the bulwark of the whole structure Whatever theories of government we support are really founded upon the conception of Christianity bequeathed to us by our forefathers and fashioned from the trials and difficulties through which they passed in the early days of this Nation's history. Their faith never waivered. Religion meant something to them. “If we of this present turbulent gen- eration are to be worthy of the example of our forefathers and rise to the ideals of sacrifice realized by those we com- memorate on Memorial day, we must stand firm in the faith and not permit ourselves to be shaken by temporary adversities. “It is my observation after traveling through many States in the past few months that there is & growing tend- ency among the people to go back to high moral and religious ground—and to get away from the worship of ma- terial things. Therefore, I bring you this brief message of reassurance as my greeting. I venture to hope that all of you as individuals and in your family and corporate life will do your part to help restore our beloved country to ways of increased serenity and to true great- ness. This task is a challenge that calls for the same courage and devotion :zvmch animated our forces in the World ar” | Optimistic for Future, Bishop Freeman joined with Gen. Pershing in giving expression to his optimism in the circumstances. “This Republic,” he insisted, “is not shat- tered, nor insecure, The ideals of the heroic dead live on. But it is our duty to see that they are made effective.” ‘The service was conducted by Canon G. Freeland Peter as master of cere- monies. Brig. Gen.

His whisky-drink- ing program would tax the American | whisky drinkers’' families several times as much as would be saved by chimeri- cal income tax changes. “Taxes can be manipulated up or down by any government; sugar can be coated over the shifting of taxes from corporations to the backs of drinkers’ families, but while an astute litical manager may get the head- ines on reduced income taxes there will surely be misery in thousands of American families eventually if Post- master Farley restores whisky to pre- prohibition levels.” Referring to official reports from England, the statement said these re- ports on drink and taxes “should put Postmaster General Farley to shame.” PICKETT SEES LIQUOR CONTROLLING STATES Says Beer Traffic Already Consid- ers Itself Above All Laws and Regulation. | By the Associated Press.
