Owen, a democrat of Oklahoma, who had refused to support Smith because of his affiliation with Tammany Hall, the governor early In his .peech shouted, “I challenge 8enator Owen, or anybody he can get, to come to New York and find anything wrong in my record.” “He ain’t ours.” came a voice when Smith referred to Senator Owen's support of Hoover. “Do Senator Owen and the forces behind him record than these distinguished men and women who have watched and | studied it?" the governor asked aft- er a detailed recitation of his pub- lic record and quoting from com- mendation of his governor by such republican lead- ers as Charles Evans Hughes and Dr. Nicholas Murray Butler, presi- dent of Columbia university. Owen Not Sincere “But Senator Owen is not sin- cere,” Smith said. “They know that this Tammany cry is an at- know more about my | stewardship as | tello ountrymen, because of their religioh. Nothing could be so out of lime with the spirit of America. In concluding his resume of his past record the democratic candi- date asserted that ‘“one scandal, connected with my administration would do more to help out the re- publican national committee in its campaign against me than all the millions of dollars now being spent by them in malicious propaganda. Unfortunately for them, they can- not find-it, because the truth is it is not there.” Smith ended with a plea that the people of the country take their stand upon issuds of himself and Herbert Hoover, the republican can- didate, and decide the election on that basis. |Byrd’s Ship Goes With Misspelled Name New York, Sept. 21 (® — Com- mander Richard E.

Beedle of this place accepted an invitation from the Randolph Gun club to do some trapshooting, the authorities of the organization probably didn't figure him as anything more formidable {than a guest of honor. But Beedle surprised everyone by promptly breaking 10 out of the 25 clay targets thrown from the traps and did it against the handicap of a borrowed gun and hazy atmo- spheric conditions. If there is any other 90 year old sportsman who could do better, Mr. Beedle an- nounced he would like to meet him.

NEW BRITAIN DAILY HERALD, mev, 'SEPTEMBER 21, 1928, LITTLE BOY SLAIN BY M ABDUCTOR Honolula Authorities Hun Fiend-Murderer Honolulu, Sept. 21 (M—Honolulu met the horror of its first major crime today with police, the military and scores of volunteers organized into working units to hunt down the kidnaper and slayer of Gill Jamie- son, 10 year oid son of Frederick W. Jamieson, banker. The body of the boy, who was kidnaped from school Tuesday, was found yesterday on the banks of the Alawai canal, near the fashionable Royal Hawaiian hotel. Physicians said he had been strangled to death. Complicating search for the slay- er today was the threat of mob vio- ience which followed indignation meetings held throughout the city last night. Hints that a vigilance committee was being formed at one meeting last night followed barring of newspapermen. The Chamber ot Commerce re- ward fund had reached $10,000 last night, and a total fund of $20,000 for arrest of the kidnapers was ex- pected before nightfall today. The boy's neck bore the imprint of five fingers, many bruises covered his body, and there were rope burns on his wrists and ankles. Police Surgeon Robert C. Faus said an autopsy indicated the boy had put up a terrific struggle *with his ab- ductor, Physicians believed the boy had been killed Tuesday night, a few hours after he had been kidnapped, and possibly within a few minutes of the time his frenzied father had handed over $4,000 to a man, who promieed the safe return of the lad. Following receipt of a telephone call, Mr. Jamieson met the man on a crowded downtown street corner, and gave him the money. The man disappeared into a crowd and did not return. First indication of the kidnaping came Tuesday afternoon when the father received a letter demanding §10,000 ransom for- his son, with threats of death if the money was not delivered. The boy had been taken from his school shortly before by a man who told his teacher that Mrs. Jamieson had been injured and wished her son to return home at once. There is no record of a previous iynching in Hawaii because crime has been negligible, The low crime rate on the islands is attributed to the isolation and difficulty of fleeing HE NEW the scene of a crime. 4 Every possible avente of escape closely guarded by sheriff's deputies today. All ships leaving port were ordered searched and a watch was kept on smaller vessels. Mics Mars P. Winne, school prin- cipal, ted the city jail last night, bhut was unable to identify any of the men under arrest as the person who called fcr Gill at his achool. ORDER RED CROSS BOOK SUPPRESSED Confains Paragraph From Hoover's Gonvention Message New York, Sept. 21 (—Because it contained a paragraph from Her- bert Hoover's message to the repub- lican convention, the September is- sue of the Junior Red Crass News, which circulates among scheo! chil- dren of the nation, has been ordered suppressed. Protest against distribution of the number was made by Dr. William J. 0O'Shea, superintendent of New York city schools, on the ground that it would generate political centro- versies in the schools. He ordered distribution stopped in the New York schools and protested to John Barton Payne, national chairman of the Red Cross. After a conference yesterday with H. B. Wilson, director of the Junior Red Cross. Dr. O'Shea said the issue would be suppressed throughout the country. The Hoover quotation appeared on the back cover under the picture of a one-room. rural school house, flying the American flag, which is being saluted by a group of children and a teacher, the quotations reads: “This country gave me, as it gives every boy and girl, a chance. It gave me schooling, independence of action, opportunity for service and honor. In no other land could a boy from a country village, with- out inheritance of influential friends, look forward with unbounded hope. My whole life has taught me what America means. I am indebted to my country beyond any human pow- er to repay.” The quotation was signed “Her- bert Hoover” and no mention was made of the message from which it was taken. Dr. O'Shea is president of the New York chapter of the Junior Red Cross. “There is nothing in the statement that would not be endorsed by every- body at any other time except in the throes of the national campaign,” SATURDAY SPECIALS AT BRITAIN MARKET CO. 318 MAIN ST.
