UNCLE SAM GIVES INDIAN LONG VACATION TRIP Deported as Mexican, Itinerant Re- turns to United States After South American Jaunt. By the Associated Press. LOS ANGELES, August 17.—Nomo ‘Yakson, 45-year-old itinerant, returned yesterday from a three weeks' vacation in Mezxico and Central American coun- tries, all expenses paid by the Federal Government. Nomo says he is an Osage Indian, born in Oklahoma. Ferderal authorities arrested him in Cheyenne, Wyo.. and took him to Denver, where the immi- gration officials decided he was a Mex- ican. They sent him to San Francisco and the immigration office there refused to listen to his claim regarding his na- tionality. They told Nomo he was to be deported. July 27 Nomo sailed for Mexico aboard a fine liner, but when the ship docked at Manzanillo the authorities there refused to accept him, saying he was an Indian. Even that didnt con- vince Nomo's handlers, so he sailed | away for Central America. Guatamala wouldn't have him. Nei- ther would San Salvador. The boat turned around at Nicaragua, where it became quite evident Nomo must be an | Indian, and he started back for the‘ United States. Gunmen Held ¢ ARRESTED IN URSCHEL KID- NAPING CASE.

Change Foiled Plans. “If the gang had pursued the plan we overheard on tapped wires the two assigned to collect the money would now | be in jail or in the morgue,” he de- clared. “The stretch of Mannheim road they " first ated for the pay-off | was thoroughly covered by machine| gunners, but.the gang ‘was too smart. Just ‘one ‘hour before the disguised policemen were supposed to start out in the cab the gang telephoned Factor's sgent ordering the money to be passed | at a barbecue stand on Wolf road, a| mile away.

ST. LOUISANS THREATENED. Henry Chouteau and August A. Busch, Jr., Brewer on Gang List. ST. LOUIS, August 17 (#).—Reported plots to kidnap Henry Chouteau, capi- talist and large real estate owner, and to extort between $5,000 and $15,000 from August A. Busch, jr. wealthy brewer, were revealed by police here last night. -Joseph Gerk, chief of police, said he had discussed with Chouteau informa- tion which had come into the hands of police regarding the alleged plot. Gerk + STAR | offices WASHINGTON Anheuer-Busch, Inc., had been turned over to the authorities. The information concerning Chouteau was rather vague, the chief said. He said Chouteau told him he had never heard of a plot to kidnap him and had received no threatening letters or tele- phone calls. About a week ago, Chief Gerk said, he was informed by Busch that a Busch emrlnye received an anonymous letter which sald “the writer” wanted money and that it must be “got” from Busch. One clause of the letter read “you get $5,000 to $15,000 from Mr. Busch and you put it in & package and drop it off Saturday at Twenty-second and Cass.” ‘The package was dropped while con- cealed policemen looked on, but no one appeared to claim it. Busch’s 13-year-old nephew, Adolphus Busch Orthwein, was kidna in Jan- uary, 1932, and held a day. Charles Y. Abernathy, Negro, confessed the abduc- tion, and is serving a prison sentence. KELLY SUSPECT HELD. INDIANAPOLIS, August 17 (P).— Local police last night revealed that a trap set by Department of Justice agents seeking George B. Kelly, suspect in the kidnaping of Charles F. Urschel of Oklahoma City, resulted in the cap- ture yesterday of an itinerant who called at the post office for a letter addressed to Kelly. Federal agents withheld all infor- mation and said they were working on another case. Prom a high police official who de- clined use of his name, however, it was learned a rush call was sent to local from the Federal building, where watch had been kept since a special delivery letter addressed to | Kelly had arrived. Three police squads and a squad of detectives responded. Kelly is believed | to have been one of a gang who es- caped capture in a snare laid by Fed- eral agents and police at Chicago Tuesday. The police official said he was in- |formed Department of Justice agents |surrounded the man who called for the letter heve as he left a post office win- dow, and held him for questioning. He was said to have been picked up in a nearby city park, and paid to call for the letter. BAILEY HEAVILY GUARDED.

By the Asscciated Press. INDIANAPOLIS, August 17.—Gov. Paul V. McNutt denied yesterday after- noon he ever told Abe Rosen, unlicensed Gary, Ind., beer dealer, that support of political organizations was necessary oefore he could obtain a State permit as a beer wholesaler. I never said that and am willing to g0 on the witness stand and testify to that effect,” the Governor said when informed Rosen had made such charges in an amended complaint filed in Fed- eral Court in South Bend, in a suit in which the constitutionality of the State beer law is being attacked. “I told Rosen when he came to see me that he could not have a license and that no one could have a license who tried to buy it,” the Governor added. Rosen also charged he was informed he would have to contribute $500 to the Democratic State Committee before he could obtain a license. Rosen has been the center of several court fights over the beer law. After having been denied a permit he ob- tained a court order prohibiting the State excise director from interfering with him in the sale of beer.

Twice yesterday Department of Jus- tice agents and city detectives drove away from the Federal Building, their motor cprs bristling with sub-machine rifles, but they were silent as to_their missions. Bailey’s bond was set at $100,000 at a hearing here before United States Commissioner Lee R. Smith, but Fed- eral officers said he would not be re- leased even should bond be made, as they could return him to Kansas as an escaped convict if the Oklahoma kid- naping charges were not pressed. Bailey led the break of 11 convicts from the Kansas State Prison at Lansing last Memorial day, and has been identified by the Department of Justice as the machine gunner in the June 17 slaying of four officers and Frank Nash, convict, in front of the Union Station in Kan- sas City. Federal officials expressed willingness for Bailey’s four companions to have counsel. They said that yesterday they took a telegram from the four ad- dressed to a Decatur attorney and sent ! it to him. Bonds of Others $50,000. Bonds wi set at $50,000 each. They were R.
