) ¥ KIDNAPINGS SEEN EXTENSIVELY LOCAL No One Gang Responsible for | Tide, Says Hutchinson of Senate Group. By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, July 15.—Col. Franklin S. Hutchinson, directing a United | States Senate Committee’s drive to end | racketeering, is convinced the rising tide of kidnapings cannot be attributed to any one gang. { “I don't believe there is any one: ring,” said Hutchinson today. *“I think ; the kidnapings have been largely of | local origin.” H Hutchinson, who was chosen for the | post by Senator Royal S. Copeland, is | soft spoken and mild mannered, but | he has been described as relentless and | untiring when given a task to accom- plish. 1 Investigators Organized. ©Of methodical habits, he has con- cerned himself first with organizing his staff of 80 trained investigators. Then | he will start the drive to end all rackets, kidnaping included. “We will be able to deal with kid- napers effectively when the States, counties and cities appreciate the value of utilizing the Federal Government's law enforcement agencies, notably the Department of Justice and the Bureau of Investigation,” he said. “The Pederal forces certainly can be | used more extensively. “The trouble is that the Federal Government cannot tread on the toes of the States. Its jurisdiction is con- fined to interstate kidnaping, except when the kidnapers use the mails in demanding ransom.” The inquiry by Col. Hutchinson and his staff will extend to the fish, poul- try, trucking, narcotic and employment rackets and interstate shipment of ma- chine guns. Poultry Racket Extensive. ‘The poultry racket, he said, probably was one of the most extensive, with complaints having been received from many States in the West. The fish racket, he added, was largely confined to the New York City markets. The Roosevelt administration’s in-| dustrial recovery program will aid ma- terially in ending business rackets, Col. Hutchinson predicted. Insertion of a( clause in codes of ethics drawn under the national recovery act prohibiting | payment of tribute of any kind was suggested by him as a possible aid in suppressing rackets. “I believe fixing of minimum and maximum wages, minimum working hours and the limiting of competition will help,” he said. “Competition some- times gets so keen the first thing you know sabotage starts.” | ORTEZ RUBId GETS THREATS AS NATION FIGHTS KIDNAPERS ‘(Continued Prom First Page.) police were told. An unknown voice speaking in English directed the former President to procure $50,000 and leave ; it at a designated spot. Police said Ortiz Rubio, who has a personal guard, treated the matter lightly. Jack Tillery, former deputy sheriff here, who has been acting as secre- tary and bodyguard for Ortiz Rubio afid his wife, hired additional guards to be posted around the Ortiz Rubio home, a mansion the former President built in the Parkside residential dis- trict. Today, Tillery told police, a second | call was received, apparently from the, same person who made the first. The secretary quoted the man as saying: “You fell down. Do as we told you or the President will be abducted and something worse may happen to him. This is the last chance.” Ortiz Rubio still is in town, police said, but is not at his home. Efforts to reach him proved futile. Active in Social Life. Ortiz Rubio and his wife came to San Diego immediately after he re- signed, and was succeeded by Abtlardo Rodriguez as President of Mexico. He' was ill at the time and received hos- pital treatment. More recently he has been taking an active part in the social life of the city. Police said a telephone threat was received by Ortiz Rubio seven months ago, but no attempt was made to harm him, CHICAGO DRIVE OPENS. | Alton Banker's Family Receives Notes in His Writing. By the Associated Press. One kidnap victim was released yes- terday when his captors found he was not the wealthy rancher they had mis- taken him for, another extortion plot involving a kidnap threat was frus- trated, and new measures were taken to stop abductions as efforts continued to release two victims still in the handf E. T. Wiggins, 70, was found near Arcata after being held since Thurs- day by a group of men who mistook him for W. O. Wright, wealthy rancher. Wiggins told his story to authorities at Fureka, Calif., where he was taken by passing motorists. He said his ab- ductors had planned to ask $50,000 ransom for Wright. At Albany, N. Y., District Attorney John T. Delaney said the family of John J. O’Connell, jr. kidnaped scion of a politically powerful Democratic clan, had declined to co-operate with him. The uncles and father of the 24-year-old National Guard officer have intimated that they could not aid offi- cials for fear the kidnapers would carry out threats to slay the young man. Delaney planned a further conference with the O’Connells and said he would ask for all the evidence, including four notes from the captors. At New York, two men who attempt- ed to obtain $10,000 from Dr. Jacob ‘Wachman, Brooklyn physician, under threat of kidnaping, were seized in a police trap by use of a decoy package of bills. Form Special Squad. Commissioner of Police James P. Allman of Chicago, acting with State's Attorney Thomas J. Courtney, an- nounced formation of a special squad of 40 detectives who will act under or- ders to “shoot to kill at the least re- sistance” in an effort to stamp out kid- naping. The detectives were commis- sioned as deputy coroners to give them jurisdiction throughout Cook County. They will travel in special cars, being equipped with machine and riot guns and other arms necessary to combat hoodlums. The squad’s first efforts will be directed to find the kidnapers of John Factor, market speculator, who was released Wednesday night after 12 days’ captivity on payment of $50,000. The Tuohy gang is suspected of the Factor abduction. SQUAD OF <0 FORMED. Chicago Police Commissioner Gives Orders to “Shoot to Kill.” CHICAGO, July 15 (#).—Police Com- missioner James P.

S. Quickly in Kidnaping | Cases, Keenan Advises Public Promises Utmost Secrecy in Searching for Vic- tim and Gangs. BY JOSEPH B. KEENAN, Special Assistant to the Attorney General. (Copyrigit, 1933, by the Associated Press) | HE kidnaping of John J. O'Con- | nell, jr. in Albany emphasizes one of the greatest handicaps we meet in solving such cases—the loss of time. The criminals warn families to main- tain secrecy on the threat of death to the victim.” It is only natural that the families are tempted to comply with such orders. But it has come to the point where the public must be warned how to act when such crimes occur, and must be reassured on the score of protection from the Federal Government. Federal officers constantly empha- size and strictly ob- serve the rule of secrecy. The pub- lic nced have no fear of calling them in immediately up- on the receipt of threatening letters or the disappearance of a relative or friend Citizens can place a long-distance call immediately to Edgar Hoover, di- rector of the Federal Bureau of In- vestigation. Able and experienced offi- cers will be dispatched to the scene im- mediately. Where the U. S. Enters. _ Since the enactment of the Federal kidnaping law, Federal officers can enter an investigation from the start. If the criminals are apprehended and prose- cution follows the case comes under Federal jurisdiction only if the victim was transported across a State line. But that is usually not known until the case is solved. Hence in any kid- the family of the victim can request the aid of Federal officers. Kidnaping is one of the major con-| cerns in the new Federal war against crime, which we plan will unite local and Federal law enforcement systems | into a much more effective protection | for the citizens. | In kidnaping cases we are bending our efforts toward two primary ends: First, to return the victim, agd to re- turn him safely. Second, to take steps to punish the perperators of the crime. But, first and foremost. the families can be assured that the utmost secrecy will be observed, in so far as the Bu- reau of Investigation is concerned. Fingerprinting Improved. Our system of crime apprehension cannot be fully described, naturally, since discussion would place criminals further on their guard. However, it can be said that sinee kidnapings have been on the increase we have built up a fingerprint system | Joseph B, Keenan. — THE SUNDAY STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C., JULY 16, 1933—PART ONE. Report Kidnapings At Once! “—Upon receipt of threatening let- ters or the disappearance of a rela- tive or friend . . . place a long- distance call immediately to Edgar Hoover, director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (Washing- “—Officers will be dispatched to the scene. . “—In a recent . . . case we were able to solve the crime because the family notified us immediately. . . ." —KEENAN. that is proving of at value, Local law enforcement officers are forward- ing us all fingerprints of persons who have been in any way involved in kid- naping cases. Those fingerprints have shown us recently that cases taking place in widely divergent sections of the coun- try were perpetrated by the same indi- viduals. Obviously that information simplifies detection. Further, we have complete case histories here of all per- sons who have been involved in Fed- eral cases, including complete informa- tion on their associates and hideouts. That further simplifies the matter of locating suspects. In a recent widely discussed kidnap- ing case we were able to solve the crime because the family notified us immediately. We instructed them in forwarding all mail to our offices in such a way that the fingerprints on the envelopes were preserved. Those prints solved the case. In another case the kidnapers used an airplane. Obviously, no private family could hope to deal effectively with such modern methods. The only way is to turn to such agencies as the Bureau of Investigation, that is| equipped to cope with the present-day organized underworld. How Time Is Lost. We were not notified of the O'Cennell | kidnaping until Monday night. The| young man disappeared Friday. We learned of it through a telegram to Senator Copeland of New York. That meant four days of supremely valuable | time was lost. Let me emphasize again, the family in such a situation can depend on Fed- | eral officers for quiet, efficient secret | operation. The spirit of this depart- ment is, first and last, to get results. It is difficult to say just why tth‘ hideous crime is on the increase. Most likely, the expected repeal of the| eighteenth amendment is driving crimi- | nals into this new fleld, as they foresee | the loss of a gcod living through the| sale of liquor. Legalized beer has al-| ready deprived many of them of their usual illegitimate employment. 1 We are planning, and are already receiving, much closer co-operation | with local authorities. If necessary | more men will be placed in the Federal forces until we stamp out the wave of kidnaping. ‘But the family and friends of the kidnaped must do their part in | co-operating promptly to bring about the desired result. | was freed after he said he paid $50,000 ransom. The squad will operate secretly, and instead of traveling in usual police cars, | will use specially equipped high-speed automobiles carrying machine guns, riot guns, tear gas bombs and other arms. The announcement came shortly after | authorities_professed to know nothing | of reports that wealthy Chicagoans had added guards to their staff and were under protection of police, Federal and State agents to ward against abduction. A Chicago newspaper published a| story saying that a half hundred guard in their homes. Among those mentioned as under | guard were John Hertz, sportsman,and | Arthur Cutten, the grain trader. DECLINE TO CO-OPERATE. 0'Connell Family Refuses to Join | Forces With Prosecutor. ALBANY, N. Y., July 15 (#).—Dis- trict Attorney John T. Delany and his political sponsors, Ed and Dan O’'Con- nell, tonight appeared to be at the parting of the ways over the investiga- | tion into the kidnaping of the O'Con- | nells’ nephew, John J. O'Connell, jr. The official said the Democratic leaders had_ withheld information and refused to aid him. In a statement Delaney said: “I have tried since last Monday to get some inforgation from the family. So far they have refused to co-operate. I have succeeded in talking with but one member of the family, Ed O'Con- nell, and he refused me any informa- tion.” Dan O'Connell’s brief comment when he was informed of Delaney's state- ment was: “Of course, we will not co-operate with the authorities.” The 24-year-old National Guard offi- cer’s uncles and his father, John J., sr., have indicated they could not assist the officials because the kidnapers warned the boy would be killed if they aided in the attempted apprehension of the ab- ductors. Delaney said he would seek to hold a conference with the O’Connells tomor- row and would ask for all the evidence they hold, including four notes fl‘OmJ the kidnapers. 1t became definitely known today that the O'Connells have had no dealings with the kidnapers other than the brief telephone messages of a week ago today and the letters demanding lists of nego- tiators. Two of the letters were signed by the young man. $50,000 PLOT FAILS. in Stockton, Calif., Get Wrong Man. STOCKTON, Calif, July 15 (®.—A $50,000 kidnaping_plot against W. O. Wright, wealthy head of the Wright Corporation. with extensive land hold- ings in the Stockton delta region, failed today. , The abductors found they had E. T. Wiggins, 70, one of Wright's trusted employes. They promptly adminis- tered a concoction which rendered him unconscious, left him with his broken- down motor car near Arcata, Hum- boldt County, and escaped. A State-wide search for them was in progress tonight. ‘Wiggins, still a little groggy from his experience, was on his way back here from Eureka, where he gave authori- ties a description of both of his kid- napers. Wiggins was held up at an arterial stop here Thursday night after he had driven here from the Wright tract on Jersey Island with some laundry. EXTORTION PLOT THWARTED. Kidnapers NEW YORK, July 15 (#).—An at- tempt to extort $10,000 from a physi- cian under threats of kidnaping or death ended today with the arrest of | three men, two of whom wergycaught in | an claborate police trap. Officers said the co-operation of Dr. Jacob Wachsman, the threatened phy- sician, made the arrests possible. Pre- tending to follow the alleged extortion- ists’ instructions, Dr. Wachsman met two of them at a busy Brooklyn corner and handed them a package supposed to contain the money. % Five detectives watched the exchange from vantage points. Two, wearing clerks’ aprons, stood in a nearby gro- cery store. Another, wearing a jan- itor’s uniform, was across the street. Two others sat in an automobile. Michael Donaldo, police said, stepped from the car, walked over to Dr. Wachs- phone to wait at the corner, and grabbed the packages from his hand. He leaped back into the car, driven by Vincent Macari, and it sped away. A bullet fired by one of the “‘grocery clerks” grazed the rear of the fleeing car, the “janitor” fired, and the police car shot down the street. The men pulled to the curb and surrendered after a few blocks’ chase, one of their tires flattened by a police bullet. After they had been questioned, the police arrested Matteo Romano, whom they described as the “brains” of the trio. — o SHIP RUNS AGROUND Freighter Not in Immediate Danger in San Francisco Bay.

Rain Is 'I"oo Late To Test Legend of St. Swithin’s Day| Shower Starts Falling Just Twenty Minutes After Midnight. The rain which began to fall early this, morning was just 20 minutes- too late to doom the District to the 40 wet days which, according to the legend, follows a rainy St. Swithin's day. Although the prediction was for rain during the early evening, the shower held off until 20 minutes past mid- night, when the saint’s anniversary was ended. The fortuitous circumstance of a dry St. Swithin’s day prevented settlement of the dispute between the Weather Bureau, which holds the legendary method of weather prognostication to be the bunk, and those unscientific folk who still hold with the thousand-year- old legend. ‘The origin of the St. Swithin's day legend is not clearly defined, but one version has it that the saint was an English bishop who died in 862 A. D. A century later he was canonized and it was decided to move his remains to & church. On the day of the trans- fer there began a storm which lasted for 40 days. The people who would hayve moved him to a holier place took this as a sign of divine disapproval and the saint was not moved. From this grew the weather prophecy that ranks along with groundhog day‘ as a popular superstition.

Women Cheer Simpson. Simpson’s announcement on the mar- ?d workers was made at the outset of the meeting ,in the American eration of Labor Building, and was greeted with applause from the audience of more than 200, most of whom were women. Saying at first that “the married clause has practically been broken,” as the result of the efforts of the newly established league, he amplified that “We have committed the President, at least partially, to the principle of not taking it into consideration in saying who shall work and who shall not.” He went on to explain the proposed $2,000 exemption, adding that this fig- ure was decided upon as one that might properly be applied. There were some mild dissents, some of the gathering feeling that the amount was too low, but Simpson emphasized it was that or nothing. While the marital status question was under consideration, the method in which the law has been applied was hit by Shaw, who said “it has been my ex- perience that few of those drawing big salaries have been affected by that clause. I find that those in the $5,000 class, held up as the ‘horrible example’ to put the law through, have got what it takes to stay.” Simpson said about 300 complaints on law had been receive In the course of the discussion, it was estimated that about 1,500 married workers have lost out by reason of the law. Any liberalization will have to be in the new agencies. for the Attorney Gen- eral has held that the law is permanent legislation, which entails dismissal first of married persons in any regular Government establishment where re- duction of foreg is necessary. To Meet Again Saturday. ‘The meeting yesterday was devoted largely to an account of the conference with the President which was arranged after formation of the league a week ago, and the accomplishments of which were used as @& basis for appeals for recruits to the ranks of the American Federation of Government Employes, both by personal appeals, and in lit- erature distributed to those present. Steps were taken to put the league on a firmer basis through formation of additional committees, and it was an- nounced that another meeting would | be_held next Saturday afternoon. Simpson discussed the operation of the Civil Service Commission re-em- ployment register, which he described as the “preferred list,” and in response to one question from the floor, an- nounced that “political influence will do no good on this register.” He reiterated in this connection that President Roosevelt said employing agencies would be ‘“required, not re- quested,” to staff their offices with listed civil service workers. He said also that he had been ad- vised at the White House conference that many Bureau of Standards work- ers who are being cut off, would be returned to duty through the use of funds from the recovery program, and at one point asserted “that most of || the people in this room are going to be back on the pay roll in & month is my expectation.” A warning against too much opti. ||| mism, however, was sounded by Cec!

She urged also that there be a parade to present this resolution to the President. Lead- ers in the meeting, however, headed off this move. Those in attendance were promised that in the next day or two a commit- tee would get a line on the positions that are open. Resolutions of thanks both to Presi- aent Rooseveit and President Green were adopted at the wind-up of the meeting.

BUENOS AIRES, July 15.—Today, the first anniversary of the initial con- filct of the Gran Chaco War, found | Paraguay and Bolivia skirmishing incon- i clusively in positions almost identical with those occupied before the fighting Careful, composite estimates from best informed sources placed the Bo- livian dead from fighting or disease at 20,000, with the ineffectives from ill- ress and wounds af 35,000. The Para- guayan were placed at 8,000 dead and 17,000 ill and wounded. On July 15, 1932, the Bolivians, after | a short and sharp fight, captured Fort Carlos Antonio Lopez, which the Para- |uulyuu had occupied a month prior after saying they found it deserted.
