KIDNAPPING PLOT ALLEGED.
Norfolk, Va, Man Says Slayer Of White
Was to Be Rescued.

Norfolk, Va, April 22.-Investigation
In Norfolk by an agent OF Sheriff Gfif-
fenhagen, of New York, aided by the
local police, has revealed second at
tempt to take Harry X. Thaw from tho
authorities and send him out OF New
York state.
The plot became known thru a letter
written to Frederick J. Groehl. deputy,
assistant district attorney OF New York;
by Louis Weinrop and was ap-
preached with an offer of $1,000
to aid in the rescue. He refused to take
part unless he saw real money. and not,
receiving il, he notified Mr.. Groehl OIL
what he had learned.
Desperate Plan Mapped Out.
With the possibility that Thaw would
be sent back to Matteawan. last des-
perate attempt was to be made to pro-
vent his return. With the precautions
taken in connection with his present.
confinement in New York. no such easy
scheme as was executed on the oc-
casion Of the escape OF the slayer ofs
Stanford White from Matteawan could
be successful. and more elaborate and
more desperate plan was mapped out.
Thaw. who recently said. II would
rather be dead than go back there" had
taken by force from the men who had
him in charge, and the frustrated plot
was to be executed today.
weinrop, in the presence Of police
official of Norfolk. admitted In police
headquarters to the sheriff's agent that
the supplying of the getaway car. the
chauffeur, and the other outside man
was to be left to him. Ali other details
were to be attended to by the man who
made him the proposition.
This man is referred to by WeirSaA.
as Frank Smith. a New York p, ta&es
detective, who said he was con6oOAAA
with large detective Of that ctty.
whose address he gave to Weinrop,
To Be Taken 20 virpinia.

10000 STARVING IN POLAND.

Need Of 100000 Poles and 100000
Jews Descrihed; Lot Of Hebrew Hard.
London. April 23.-Seven million
Poles, of whom 100000 are Jews, are
in dire need Of food.
This statement was made yesterday
by Hermann Landau, q prominent
Jewish philanthropist associated with
various Jewish charities In London.
"Of these sufferers. 5,500,000 are east
of the Vistula river and 100000 west
Of the river" Mr.. Landau said. 'The
Jews are even poorer than the Cen
tiles because of the boycott against the
Jews in parts of Poland before the be-
ginning Of the war, which impoverished
thousands who otherwise would have
been able to provide for their families
Jews Live on Potato Peels.
Political and religious prejudice
against the Jews also makes their con-
dition worse than that Of the Catholics.
In parts of Poland evacuated by the
Germans many Jews are living on po-
tato peels and garbage left by the
army. The Catholic population has
been able to flee beyond Warsaw in
much larger numbers than the Jews.
1.-The citizens committee at Warsaw
is the only large agency for affording
relief for refugees. Altho the member
ship Of this committee consists Of four
Jews and six gentiles it has been Inn
possible to employ workers who would
deal fairly with the Jews. Consequent
