GOV. COX ENDORSES
EARLHAM CAMPAIGN

Governor James NJ. Cox, of Ohio,
Democratic nominee for president, has
added his endorsement to the many
! others received in support of the Earl
ham college endowment campaign.
Work In the drive is steadily progress
ing and encouraging letters from well
known and influential persons are be-

Following is copy of the letter sent
by Governor Cox:

Quoted by Earlham college, the public
has an interest little less than that OF
the alumni of these institutions That
interest should be generally recog-
nized and given tangible expression in
generous contributions to the funds so
urgently needed to increase the sal

equipment.
THE country as a whole-its indus

it's commerce-relies upon the univer-
sites and colleges to supply them
with the trained men and women they
require. A selfish interest would de-
and technical schools are adequately
equipped to train men and women for
them. The greatly increased operat-
ing and living costs have placed many
of our oldest and best institutions in
serious predicament. Some already
are at standsti!l, and will retrogress
unless help is given. One condition
requiring immediate amelioration is
the utterly inadequate salaries paid
professors and instructors. Many of
the best men of the teaching STATS
are leaving to enter more remunera-
tive activities, while promising young
men are abandoning the thought of
choosing teaching as a profession.
1T is high time that we give our
attention to this situation and see that
the college professor receives at least
a living salary. 1t is my earnest hope
therefore. that the graduates of the
various universities and colleges con-

THREATENED u. FORD
WITH DEATH; CAUGHT
BY Detroit POLICE

DETROIT, Mich, July 30-One OF
The boldest attempts yet made to
force Henry Ford to pay money on
pain Of death was squelched Thurs.
day, it is believed, when, after two
weeks work by all available local po-
lice detectives and postoffice inspect
ors from three states, the local Off
Gals arrested Edward Gordon, %
years old, at 420 Dix avenue, and
charged him with the attempted crime.
According to E. E. Frazer. local
postoffice inspector, this attempt to
force ransom from Mr.. Ford was the
most threatening with which local Of
ficials ever have come in contact.
Nothing was left undone in the two
weeks effort to apprehend the Grim
inal, he said. and great fears were felt
for the safety of Mr.. Ford and his son,
Edsel, who also was named.
The first letter was sent to Mr.. Ford
about three weeks ago. 1t demanded
that $4,000 be sent to Edward War
rem, general delivery, Detroit" and
said that refusal to deliver would re-
suit in the deaths of Mr.. Ford and
Edsel.
= Evidently Had confederates
The letter was turned over to Mr..
Fraser, who Immediately ordered all
clerks at the general delivery window
to deliver no mail for Edward War
rem" without first notifying him.
No one called for such mail, but
within a week, Mr.. Ford got second
letter announcing that the sender was
aware that detectives had been placed
on his trail, making it impossible for
him to call at the postoffice for the
money, and demanding that it be sent
in person to Edward Gordon, 420 Dix
avenue.
This bold statement, along with
mystification as to how the black
mailer learned that he was being
watched for at the postoffice delivery
window, dumbfounded the local Off
Gals. They already had sent for
postoffice inspectors from Ohio and
Indiana to work on the case and had
obtained all the police detectives they
could to aid.
Dummy Package Delivered
A dummy package was fixed up to
be sent to the name and address given,
but before it could be delivered Mr..
Ford received a third letter, even
more threatening than the first two.
Wednesday afternoon, however, the
dummy package was delivered by the
regular mail carrier and Immediately
afterward Gordon was arrested.
According to Mr.. Frazer, Gordon
seems to be a vicious and determined
criminal and he expressed great re-
lief at his arrest. Gordon told the po-
lice he was formerly employed as a
news butcher on a train out Of Detroit,
but that he had not worked lately.
The letters declared the signer's
brother had been mistreated in the
Ford plant and that he was deter
mined to have revenge.
He was arraigned later in the day
before j. S. Hurd, United States COM
missioner, and bail was fixed at
$4,000.
