VAINLY SEEK BABY
KIDNAPPED FROM
ITS CRIB AT NIGHT
Reward of 81, 500 StirS Search
erS for 13-MonthS Son of
Morristown, Pa, Couple.

NoRRIsToWN, Pa. June S.--Tht
local police are stin looking to-day
for a motive for the kidnapping from
his crib of Blakeley Coughlin, thir-
teen-months-old son OF Mr.. and Mrs
George H. Coughlin, well-to-do resi-
dents OF this city. No trace of the
child has yet been found.
Tho child was kidnapped from a
second-stoTy room. which was
reached by the abductors placing a
long ladder against the side of the
house.
The County Commissioners offered
reward of $500 for the apprehen-
sion and conviction of the perpetra-
tors of the act. An examination Of
the surrounding ground showed foot
prints, and the authorities are pro-
ceeding on the theory that a man
and woman familiar with the interior
OF the Coughlin home may have
taken the child.
1T was o'clock in the morn
Ing" said the child's father, when
my wife heard a sound that awak-
ened her. She sat up in bed. She
listened, but she heard nothing
more. She lay down. Then she
heard as If a muffled cry or sob. She
reached over and aroused me. She
said: Go over and see IL baby Is all
right went to the next room
where baby lies in a crib. The
rooms are communicating.
"The babys blanket was thrown
back, but he was gone. Thinking
that perhaps that one of the other
children David, eight. and Mclean,
five) had taken the baby over into
their room. / went there, but the two
little fellows were sound asleep and
baby was not there. Then l went
downstairs and out, l saw the lad
der against the house and realized
then what had happened. When /
told my wife of the ladder, she had
come to the sleeping porch. She i'm
mediately ran to the telephone and
informed the police"
Asked for his. theory of the child
taking, Mr.. Coughlin answered: 81
have none. 1 have had no trouble
with any one. have no enemies OF
which l am aware. am not wealthy,
80 that the kidnappers would imagine
that l could pay a big ransom for
the child. In fact, cannot figure

WASHINGTON, June 3 CCopyright
1920 o).-Twenty-flve million dollars is
the estimate of the amount Of money
that probably will be spent by all
political parties in order to elect the
next President OF the United States.
This figure--conaidere an under
estimate at that--omibraces every
class OF enpend ture not only In the
National but In the State committees
The writer Is assured by the persons
who are likely 70 be In on the finnnc-
ing OF the national campaign when
the conventions have nominated their
candidates that in all probability the
national committees themselves will
not spend more than a few million
dollars each.
Indeed, II Is questionable whether
the Democrats or Republicans will
show on their official records more
than S5,O00.000 each. But through
out the Union in the States II Is fully
expected that many millions OF dol
lars will be spent, and there Is no
real way TO get at tho facts because
the Federal Government has no iuris-
dictlon over State elections.
II is making the canvass for State
officers that money is spent for the
top OF the national ticket and for
Congressional candidates.
POLITICAL FiNANcIERs SMILE
AT MERE HALF MILLION.
The truth is that tho present in
vestiEntion OF expenditures In the
primary campaign is making the sea
soned financiers OF political cam
paigns smile. A mere half million
dollars is nothing compared 20 the
big sums that will DO spent in these
Identical States and perhaps for one
OF the Identical candidates when once
tho two conventions have named
their men.
Preparations are being mnde for the
most lavish expenditure in the history
of American political campaigns. The
thus far shows that
largo sums Of money are spent for
publicity and advertising. but tina;
fabulous amounts are put in the
hands Of party workers" Some

The Chamber also passed unan,-
mously a resolution urging the Inter-

the coastwise shipping lines an in
crease in freight rates to lessen their
present difficulties and make 1t pos

The Citizens Transportation Com
mittee to-day issued an open letter
to "all citizens" asking for a IS. 900, ,OOO
fund.
This is just ten times the sum
originally asked for at the Merchants
Association luncheon. In its plea for
the greater fund the committee points
to the permanent character OF the
project and indicates that its purpose
is not merely to remedy the present
disastrous situation but also TO PEE
vent the recurrence of such troubles.
No mention is made of the fact that
the striking longshoremen at their
meeting last night failed to take the
action which might have restored
peace and good transportation at

to have played a part in bringing
about the demand for the IS, 600, 900
