Badger Hunting.
Norristown, Pa, June 1.-THE po-
lice again today took up the search
for 13-months-old Blakeley Coughlin,
stolen from his crib on June 2. AT
the same time they were looking for
person known only as the Crank"
who swindled George II. Coughlin, the
baby's father, of $4,000, which was
demanded for the return Of the little
fellow.
After receiving several letters and
telephone calls from "The Crank"
Coughlin became convinced he was
the abductor and asked the police to
withdraw from the case SO he per-
sonally could negotiate with the writ
cr. "The Crank" at first demanded
only $4,000 ransom, but later doubled
it. On Monday he called Mr.. Cough
lin on the telephone, and gave him
instructions where to leave the
money. He acquicsced in request OF
the father that another man not con
nectcd with the police department ac-
company him to the spot but desig-
mated they sioiiid not go to the place
before midnight and that they must
deposit the cash and drive away with
out making the slightest attempt to
discover his identity. The child would
be returned in a taXicab, The Crank"
said, within "a hours.
Mr.. Coughin said he had complied
with every demand Of the kidnappcr
and felt confident the baby would be
returned Tuesday night. Both he and
Mrs. Coughlin remained up all night
AT three O'Clock the next afternoon
he drove to the spot where he left the
money and found it gone. He then
gave up hope, he said. and realized
that he had been defraudcd. He placed
the case in the hands Of the authori-
ties last night and announced he hat
abandoned all desire OF dealing di
rccuy with the abductors, who hat
been promised immunity IL the Chile
was returned.
With the latest developments in the
case, both the police and the Cough.
lins have abandoned the theory that
the baby was kidnapped for ransom
They are inclined to believe that re.
vengc was the motive. Charles lIlier
chief Of the Norristown police, said
he had definite clue and expected
results within a day or two.

LEGION TO AID IMMIGRANTS
Plan Mapped Out by American Com
mission Of Veterans Organization
to Extend Welcome.

Immigrants entering the United
States will be received and welcomed
by members Of the American Legion,
according to plans mapped out by the
National American commission of the
veterans organization. Arrangements
have been made whereby the local post
of the community which is the ul-
innate destination of the immigrant
will get In touch with him Immediately
upon his arrival
Information as to the names and
destinations Of all immigrants will be
secured at the port Of New York and
forwarded Immediately to the thou
sands Of Legion posts in order that
they may prepare for the reception Of
the new arrivals.
ain some cases the immigrant may
be going directly to friends" says
the announcement OF the American
commission, "but In many cases he
will be friendless and win be sure to
have great trouble. He may need as
sistance in finding out where he can
learn English, where he can send his
children to school, where he can find a
place to live and a place to work.
Nothing could be more effective In lin
ing up the new arrival on the side Of
law and order and Of the things we
believe In as being best for the coun-
try than this friendly welcome. It
is this personal greeting from Amer
lea that will help make the newcomer
a 100 per cent American"
