Reputed Wealthy Ranchman
Tells Weird Story to Police
Kidnapped With His Superin-
tendent's Wife, Two Were
Held for Ransom"
by Associated Pressl .

st. Louis, oct. 30.-Joseph Alexan-
der reputed wealthy ranchman and
farm owner of Fort Smith, Ark, and
Mrs. Margaret Taber, of this city, wife
of Aiexander's ranch superintendent
today related TO the police how they
had been kidnapped in an attempt to
collect $25,00O from the ranchman.
Alexander, according to advices. is
known as the potato king" in Fort
Smith. He appeared at the st. Louis
county court house early today, bare
footed and sparsely clad, and described
TO officers how "he had been bound,
gagged. beaten and guarded by his
captors. Mrs. Tabor told a similar
story.
Alexander came to st. Louis last
Monday, he explained in response to
a telegram bearing Mrs. Tabor's name
and reading:
Come at once; serious trouble.
Mrs Tabor denied sending the mes
sage
Met at the depot by the men. Alex
ander said he accepted an invitation
to ride to Mrs. Tabor's home in their
automobile and was taken to a farm
house eight miles west of here. Mrs.
Tabor, who had been kidnapped Sun
day, was brought to his room, he
related and he was ordered to sign
the check" payable to her. Refusing
he was beaten and the bonds on his
arms and ankles tightened he assert
ed. He protested that he did not have
$25, 900 in the bank, he continued, but
the kidnaupers continued torturing
him and on Tuesday he wrote the
check scribbling the signature, he
said, to make it appear a forgery
After Alexander had written the
check on a bank at Fort Smith the
men drove Mrs. Tabor to local bank
where she deposited it. She was then
to the farm house.
Early today Alexander told the po-
lice, his guard fell asleep and he es-
capped. His escape was learned short
ly afterwards Mrs. Tabor said and she
was hurried to her home.
Officials visited the farm house and
found it unoccupied. Overturned fur
niture they said indicated the men
nad made hurried departure.

Victory at Polls Tuesday
Department of Justice to
Continue After PrOfIteers
Existing Fair Price Committees
to Be Disbanded Monday,
Says announcement.
(Ry Associated Pressl

Washington, Oct 30.-The Depart
ment of Justice will continue its drive
on profiteers wherever and when
ever found, regardless of the disso1u-
ton Monday of the fair price organi-
5ations according to a statement is
sued tonight by Robert t. Scott, as
sistant to the attorney general, who
formally announced the disbanding of
the fair price committees. In a re-
view of the organizations work, Mr..
Scott claimed credit for the depart
ment in forcing down prices of many
commodities.
The campaign against exorbitant
prices has been of substantial bene-
fit to the average citizen, Mr.. Scott
said. He added that more than 1000
cases had been instituted by the de-
partment that scores of these had re-
suited in fines and prison sentences
under the profiteering provisions of
the Lever low. The cases remaining
on court dockets will be pressed, he
said, and new proceedings started
where evidence of the laws violation
is found
"The objective of the department ),
Mr.. Scott said, dhas been first to
eliminate the profiteer. And. second,
TO make his field less attractive by
educating the buying public to the
wisdom of sane and sensible buying
Difficulty has been experienced by
the department according to Mr.
Scott because of the judicial doubt
existing as to the constitutionality of
the Lever law. Unfavorable decisions
were said to have given profiteers a
new grip in some communities, but
Mr.. Scott believed the legal attacks
started by the government had
served measurably to discourage the
wave of profiteering"
Mr.. Scott said the government ac-
tivities against price gougers had "ac-
CELEBRATED and aided rather than re-
tarded" renewal of the effectiveness
Of the law of supply and demand.
Another important factor, he said
"has been the action of fair price
representatives in including patriotic
to effect reductions in
prices. Perhaps the most striking il
lustration of this was the success of
the representative in Pennsylvania in
one of the largest PhiIa-
delphia merchants of the wisdom of
making a voluntary reduction on all
commodities handled by him This
reduction of 20 per cent resulted in
q general wave of price slashing
the country from which
the consumer substantially benefited.

FEsS MAKES PREDICTION
Republican Chairman Says Par
ty Margins i'm House and
Senate Will Be Increased.
(6y Associated Press) .

Washington, Oct .30.-A prediction
based on 'the most authentic infor-
nation obtainable in every district"
that the Democrats would gain con-
troll of the House of Representatives
was issued here today by Chairman
Flood. of the Democratic Congress
sional Committee.
There is absolutely no doubt in
my mind, Mr.. Flood said, that the
Democrats will gain congressman in
the states of Massachusetts, Connecti-
cut, Ohio, Indiana, Oklahoma, Wiscon-
sin, Maryland, Kentucky, Illinois,
Minnesota, New Jersey New Mexico,
Pennsylvania, Mon tana, Missouri
West Virginia and Virginia or a suffi-
cient number to overturn the present
Republican majority in the House.
Columbus, O.. Oct s0.-When the
next Congress convenes the RepubIi-
can majorities in both Houses will
show large increases according to a
pre- election statement issued here to-
night by Congressman Simeon d. Fess
of Ohio, chairman of the National Re-
publican Congressional Committee.
His forecast, based on an analysis
of reports from all congressional dis
tricts in the country, is that the Re-
publican margin in the House viii be
increased from 45 to at least 81, and
that of the Senate from 2 to a mini
mum of II, and possibly II, giving
that body safe" working majority.
According to Mr.. Fess' estimate the
next House will have in it's member
ship not less than 2G1 Republicans
and not more than ia Democrats and
the Senate will be composed of from
so to 66 Republicans and from "a to
80 Democrats.
In making this forecast, Congress-
man Fess declared that, so far as the
House is concerned, 81 states are in
cluded in the "sure" Republican col ;
umn. He estimated these states will |
