BLACKHAND ON FORD
Instead of $4,000 Demanded, Decoy
Package Lands Suspect in Jail.

Detroit, Mich. Nov. 3.-No addi-
tional arrests had been made here to-
night in the alleged plot to extort
$40, 900 from Edsel Ford by threaten
in to abduct or kill his son, Henry
Ford II. Edsel Ford is the son of
Henry Ford, the millionaire manufac-
turer. Federal agents are working on
the theory that a band of men were
behind the alleged plot.
That a letter demanding $4,000 as
the price of his baby's safety had
been received by Edsel Ford, became
known today when Jacob Yellin, 20
years old, was arraigned before United
States Commissioner Hurd, charged
with using the mails to defraud. He
pleaded not guilty and was held for
examination November 10. Yellin was
arrested Thursday when a decoy pack
age, supposed to contain $4,000, was
delivered to him by a messenger boy,
who called for it at the general de-
livery window of the postoffice, where
the letter to Mr.. Ford directed the
money should be left. Yellin admitted
he had engaged the messenger, but
declared he did so for an unknown
third party. Federal agents accom-
panied Yellin to a street corner, where
he said he had an appointment with
the unknown man. When the latter
failed to appear. Yellin was taken be-
fore Commissioner Hurd.

FOR CHANCELLOR
Will Be Elected by Prussian Deputies
Socialist Opposition Fades.

Berlin, Nov. 3.-Chancel1or Won
Hertling will be relieved of much of
the labor entailed ordinarily in hold
ing the post of presidency of the Prus-
sian ministry by the selection of a vice
president from the ranks of the Prus-
sian deputies.
The chancellor will control Prus-
sia's seventeen votes in the federal
council. Altho a Hessian by birth and
a Bavarian by virtue of his late office
he automatically becomes a Prussian
subject in his new capacity.
Schiedemann Rallies to Support.
Copenhagen, Nov. 3-Chancellor
Won Hertling evidently will have be-
united support of all parties in the
reichstas except the conservatives and
radical Socialists. AS in countries with
the parliamentary system, he will be
started on his way with a formal vote
of confidence from the majority OBJ
tanned, after his speech outlining his
policy
According to the chancellor's organ,
the Germania, the reichstag will be
convoked in mid-November, especial
ly to listen to the declarations of the
new head of the government An in
terpellation will be the occasion for
the speech, because the rules of the
reichstag permit the members to reg
lister their opinion of the government
after an Interpolation debate.
Berlin political writer's agree in pre-
dieting that Philip Scheidemann and
his Socialist followers, who. it was
feared, would withdraw from formal
membership in the majority bloc and
also the national liberals, who never
definitely entered it, will form part of
the new coalition ma jority.

Food Pledge Week Has Been a
Success in Topeka.
''DO Your Bite as Well as Your
Bit''-MOttO.

With preliminary reports received
from nearly every ward, and with re-
turns from many precincts complete,
D. w. Mulvane, in charge of Shaw
nee county's food conservation drive,
estimated today that more than 5000
men, women and children in the city
have signed the pledge lists. Friday,
Mulvane estimated that the signers in
both the city and rural precincts of
the county would reach this figure.
Today returns demonstrated that the
mark will be reached, exclusive of the
rural districts.
Registration in the city has been
completed. The rural districts, how
ever, are slow coming in. Because of
the latter fact no totals for the county
will be available before next week,
Mr.. Mulvane said.
Work Thru Churches.
In the churches in the rural pre-
cincts tomorrow the pledge lists will
be distributed by the Sunday school
superintendent and ministers with
advice to sign.
1t was estimated at the beginning
of the campaign by DIR. Henry ]. Wa
tiers. head of the state food admin
istration, that 1900 homes in To-
peka would be represented on the

morning the Third ward had turned

The reports for the Second were near

the Fifth ward reported $50 signers

ception possibly of rural districts, is

ton will be exceeded, it is asserted

That is the suggestion made today
by Arthur J. Carruth, Jr., chairman
of the publicity committee of the Kan
sas newspaper men in charge of the
food conservation campaign in this
state. 1t must be remembered, Mr..
Carruth suggests to the newspapers
over Kansas that this weeks pledge
card canvass is only a means of en-
tightening the people as to the ne=
cessity of meatless and wheatless
methods in the future. The real val
ue of the campaign must come thru
of the homes of Kansas farms and
cities, and in the hotels and restau-

Oklahoma City, Oct. 31.-The muir
derer of Baby Lloyd Keet, the child
who was kidnapped from the home of
his parents in Springfield, Mo. and
whose body was later discovered in a
well on a deserted farm near there,
now resides in Oklahoma City, de-
clared Sheriff B. w. Mackey of Web
ster county, Missouri, who passed thru
here today en- route to Fort Sill
Sheriff Mackey expects to make an
arrest in connection with the case at
Fort Sill, he said. The man sought is
connected with the Missouri national

sheriff Mackey said he would return
to Oklahoma City tomorrow in search
of the man he believes actually killed
the child.
