THREAT TO HANG SUSPECT
Sheriff Yields Captlves to Enraged Cit
izens, Who Keep Their Promise
10 Return Them Alive.

Springfield, Mo.-Sitting on his front
porch mud-bespattered and weary from
his exertions in saving the alleged alb
ductors of the three-milliondollar baby,
Buddy" Keet, Sheriff Webb, Of Spring
field, told the story Of how the mob
followed him in the rough roads Of the
Ozarks; how they overcame him; how
they promised to return them if they
did not confess, and finally how they
tied moose around the neck of Claude
Piersol in an effort to make him con-
TESS. That the prisoners are yet alive
is the eloquent evidence Of their fall
ure: that they are now i'll a secret hid
ing place guarded by armed deputies
the sheriff announced. The sheriff is
ever watchful even now, that the fury
of the citizens will arise again and
will compel him to return to the hid
ing place to aid his men.

tration bill. Samuel Gompers, who
headed the labor delegation, said aft
erward the, President was in full &C

WE'RE TO FEED THE ALLIES
Hoover Asserts They'll Need at Least
Twice the Amount in Cereals Ever
Has Been Shipped in Year.

Washington. G. Hoover's
report to the government on what the
United States must do to sustain its
allies with food, made public, shows
that the allies and few neutrals
which must be considered require dur
ing the next year billion bushels OF
cereals alone, and that their needs OF
meat fats and sugar also will be enor-
nous.
Production in the allied countries
and imports from other countries can
meet only portion of these needs;
America must supply the remainder
Americas surplus on the present scale
of consumption will not meet the de-
ficiency, Mr.. Hoover says, so he points
out that the enormity of the task re-
quires reduction of home consumption
in many ways. The report closes with
an appeal to the American people to
assist the food administration in its eff
forts to increase production and to
conserve American supplies.

Secret Service Seeks To Apprehcnd
Writer Who Shows Such Remark-
able knowledge Of Affairs.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
Washington.-Re stolen from
the confidential files of the United
States Navy led Secretary Daniels to
charge that there either was traitor
or spy in the service. Indications are
that the letters and documents had
been filched from the Ordnance De-
partment or the Indian Head Proving
Ground, where navy guns and ammu'
milton are tested. The disclosure was
made before hearing of the Senate
Naval Committee on the Mongolia &C
cident. Senator Frelinghuysen, OF
New Jersey, showed the records ne
had received through the mails some
days ago. They presented detailed
knowledge of ammunition and an as
tonishing familiarity with navy Sc
crets.
The astounded Secretary wished to
make the documents public, saying he
courted fullest publicity in an en-
deavor to run down the traitor But
the committee decided to withhold for
the present the contents of the letters,
as we'll as the name of the sender.
Senator Swanson, acting chairman OF
the committee, announced all en-
beavers would be made to have the
writer appear and testify. 1t is be-
lieved that not 10 minutes after the
disclosures were made the secret serv-
ice bent all it's energies to running
down the man. The possibility that
the man in question may not be either
an officer or an enlisted man, but, per-
haps, a civilian employe, was evil
denced by various questions asked in
the committee.
