ARREST EXPECTED OF NUN KIDVAPPERS Klan Members Also Offer Aid in Tracking Abductors Baltimore, Peb, 16.-~<Aaron R. An- ders, state's attorney of Frederick county, states that he expected the alleged kidnappers of Sister Mary Ceellia from Notre Dame econvent af Frederick on Monday, to be arrested soon, Baltimore members of the Ku Kilux Kian sent a special delivery letter te Nister Ceellia offering their services ir the apprehension of her abdudtors, In the letter it was sald that members of the klan had taken an interest in the kidnappiflg mystery since Mon. day and were extremely anxious to find those guilty, The klan promised Hister Cecilia to turn over to the po- lice any evidence obtained, Authorities Convinced, Btate's Attorney Anders and Sheriff SISTER CECILIA James Jones of Frederick county said they were further convinced that Sis- ter Cecilia was kidnapped after they and a detective connected with the Burns International Detective agency had talked with her. Both the state's attorney and the sheriff sald they have learned new facts concerning the case, but neither of them would dis- cuss these for publication. It was sald in Frederick yesterday that Sister Cecilia would probably come to Baltimore to point out, if pos- sible, the house in which she said she was confined here after she had been taken from Frederick. , Clue Is Found. The Burns detective is said to have unearthed a clue that will probably lead to an arrest. The Rev. Willlam J. Kane, rector of St. John's Catholic church, Fred- orick, and chaplain of the convent, sald that Sister Cecilia was much im- proved. He said she was still suf- _fering severe pains from the bruise on Ther head. Sister Cecilia said this bruise was caused by a man who struck her from the rear. Sister Cecilla has sufficiently re- i covered to tell her story to the state's attorney and the private detective. Her story was substantially as told te ! Pather Kane and made public by him.

TUBERCULOSIS GAINING | Heavy Inroads Made on Germany's Population by Discase — Additional Financial Aid is Sought, Berlin, Feb. 16.—Tuberculosis has made such heavy inroads on Ger- many's population recently that cries for additional financial aid are going up repeatedly from the official and unofficial rlief agencies. A short time ago more funds were demanded for the state insurance de- partment which ministers to the tu- bercular. Its aid extends thig winter to 50,000 families. One of the de- partment's regulations requires that, tefore a family can claim its benefits at least one member must hold a state insurance policy. Now a plea for further public sub- scriptions has been raised by a relief agency which confines its activities to members “of the middle classes and operates largely through public funds to aid persons not covered by insur- ance. Among the agency’s beneficiaries at present are: 1,654 federal, state and municipalo fficials; 119 professors, ministers, attorneys, doctors and stu- dents; 153 teachers; 88 journalists and actors; 133 widows and orphans; 562 independent hand workers ' and tradesmen; 1,364 employed salesmen and clerks, and 789 merchants.
