3 ASK RANSOM
FROM C0UGHLIN
Father Of Missing Boy De.
mands Photo Film as
Evidence.

Norristown. Pa, June 9.-Because
no evidence Is furnished to the con-
trary, Mr.. and Mrs. c.. II. Coughlin
believe their baby Blakeley, who
was stolen from his crib at their
Curren Terrace home a week ago,
is dead.
OF the scores OF letters received
purporting to be from persons who
have the child and demanding the
$4,000 ransom money, only three had
the marks of genuineness. All were
from different sources.
The writer of one letter declines
to comply with the request of
Coughlin to send back a photograph
of the baby because the alleged kid
naper will not take the chance of
going to professional photog-
rapher to get picture taken.
Coughlin says an undeveloped film
SNAPSHOT will answer the purpose.
Another writer displayed knowl-
edge of the plan of the rooms of
the house and surrounding grounds.
The third letter gives a good de-
scription of the baby. setting forth
certain details Of his appearance
that have not been made public.
Coughlin has broken down under
the strain and Is under the care OF
a physician.

Service. Special Cable Dispateho
Berlin, June 9.-The present Goa
lition parties, on results counted
up to today. have apparently
slender majority of about ten seats.
with about 1e per cent OF the vote
still out. They are indebted Tor
this majority to forty-two hold
overs from the constituent national
assembly who will continue to rep
resent their districts in Parliament
until their nationality is decided.
I 1t Is theoretically possible, should
this lead be maintained when the
rest of the votes are counted, to
continue the coalition government
on the present lines until the forty
two holdover members, of whom
thirty-five are accredited to the
coalition parties, retire, and then
dissolve the Reichstag and appeal
anew to the country. This Is the
solution OF the crisis proposed by
those Socialists who are unalter-
ably opposed to any pact with the
Peoples party, the old Liberal
party, on account of its monarch
list and big business connections.
Elections In Autumn.
The solution would be admittedly
temporary, and elections are in
evitable by autumn. 1t Is hoped
by that time, particularly after the
results OF the Spa conference are
known, that public opinion will
have been sufficiently crystallized
in one direction or another to per-
NIT the election of a new Parlia-
ment in which some stable major
ity is possible.
A plea for broadening the lines of
the present coalition government by
taking in the Peoples party is be-
ing heard with growing insistence
from all the nom socialist parties
even the extreme conservatives OF
the national party who, with all
| their deep rooted and passionate
! dislike of socialism. know in their
! hearts that it is impossible to rule
in the present day Germany against
the will of labor.
Decision Up to Ebert.
The decision is for the moment
up to President Ebert. The present
ministers have placed their port
folios at his disposal. giving him q
free hand for cabinet making. the
ministers meantime conducting the
administration Professionally until
! a new cabinet is formed. The de-
cision to postpone the Spa confer
ence is, under these conditions, re-
l.ceived here with general satisfac-
| ton.
The election of Chancellor Muel-
ler, Vice Chancellor Koch. Minister
of Defense Gessler and nearly all
the members of the present cabinet
Is now assured. Count Won Berns-
torff has been definitely defeated but

phantly with a big majority from

Piles party at n-Oder

bonus hilL at q hearing before the
senate finance committee yesterday
Afternoon. '.s~ T'.t =
Objections to the passage OF the
measure were advanced by financiers
from Baltimore as well as men who
saw servfco abroad AeS
Treasurer Dennis opposed the
measure on the ground that any such
bond issue, in addition to the $3,OO0.-
900 for roads, would impair the credit
OF the State. which had never oc-
Cured before. He argued also that
the bill would be an injustice to
many men conspicuous for bravery.
Mr.. McLanahan, who saw active
service. took charge of the hearing
from the opposition standpoint. He
said he was not speaking for the
American Legion, because he believed
a majority OF that organization was
in favor OF the bonus on the same
human ground-that they would like
to get $40 or 500 or 5000 more than
they had. But, he said, he spoke for
himself and for many other former
service men who consider that they
got far more out of the war than
they could ever be paid for in money.
He thought the injured or unfor-
tunate former service men should
be aided to the limit, but believed
that nine out of ten of the men who
would be paid a bonus do not need it.
