SWINDLED OUT OF $4,000
PENNSYLVANIA Tells Sensational Story
TO Chief Of Police

to Chief OF Iollce
Morrstown, Pa, June 17.-Wlth
a faith that might move mountains,
but did not return his child, George
II. Coughlin, father of Blakely
Coughlin, who was Kidnapped from
his home on the morning of June 2,
was swindled out of $4,000 by a
man whom he believed was to re-
turn his missing boy.
This was the sensational story
which Coughlin told to Chief OF Po-
lice Eiler yesterday and offered to
corroborate the facts by producing
a friend who accompanied HIM to
the spot where the money was
placed. ana from which it afterward
was found to have disappeared.
The chronology of the manner in
which the $4,000 disappeared reads
like a weird and improbable story
born of the romantic trend of an
authors mind. Nevertheless the po-
lice declare they believe the fathers
tale. and are prepared now to search
for a man characterized as "the
meanest swindled" with whom the
police chief has ever had to deal.

second big steel strike, it was indi-
Gated here yesterday, when the ques-
ton Of organization of the stee!
workers was brought up or the floor
OF the annual convention of the

Iron. Steel and Tinplate Workers to
reioin the steel workers general or
panization committee, composed of
"a unions.
Steel workers of the United States
are at the mercy of the '!steel trust

stee! union, withdrew from the gen
eral organization shortlE a1ter the
steel strike.
The entire matter wiiEbe left with

HOLLAND CUTS SERVICE
IN ARMY FOR EXERCISE

THE HAGUE. Nov. ga. P.)-.
Holland has decided to take up in
earnest the question OF compulsory
physical training for all OF It's young
men and at the same time to reduce
the length OF compulsory service In the
army on the theory that gymnastic
work would be as equally beneficial
as soldering.
a bill has been prepared for parlia.
ment proposing a certain amount OF
physical drill for boys from "a to ls.
This drill would be taken up in the
schools until the youths left them and
then would be under government con-
troll.
This " the first time that Holland
has seriously considered the physical
welfare OF her boys outside OF the
army. There has been a great revival
OF sport in this country as well as the
rest OF Europe as result OF the Olym-
pic games. Holland already has one
huge stadium at Amsterdam and an
other is being planned at the Hague
for which the Dutch sport enthusiasts
hope TO secure the next Olympiad.
