$4,000 RANslM ASKED ON PRIEST
Rev. Father Patrick Heslin Enticed
From Home On Plea OF Sickness

San Francisco-A ransom of $780,
600 was Friday asked for the return
of Rev. Father Il. Heslin of Colma,
in letter to Archbishop Edward j.
Hanna, according to the police.
Rev. Heslln, who had only been In
charge of the Colma parish for two
weeks, disappeared Tuesday after he
had supposedly gone to hear n death
bed confession and administer last
rites.
Archbishop Hanna turned the letter
over to the authorities, who believed
that Rev. Heslin Is being held in the
country somewhere between Colma
and Salada beach.
The letter stated that the exact con
ditions on which the priest would be
released would be made known last
night by telephone call, but no such
call was received.
1t is thought possible the kidnappers
hoped to obtain large ransom from
the Knights OF Columbus, who have
been In session here.
1t Is also considered possible by the
police that the demand for the ran.
som was made by swindlers, and not
those having anything to do with Rev,
Heslin's disappearance.

WORLD BANKING
PLAN PRESENTED
CONGRESS MAY BE GIVEN A
CHANCE TO CONSIDER INTER-
NATIONAL EXCHANGE LAW
Bank Of Nations is Latest Ideas OF
Senator Hitcheod of Nebraska;
II Created Will Have
Capital Of $2,40o, ooo, 900

Washi3gton-Intern exchange
problems probably will be given con-
sideration by congress as result of
the active interest taken In the problem
| by Comptroller of the Currency Girls
singer and by Senator Hitchcock of Ne
braska, who has asked the senate bank
ing and currency committee to hold
hearing on his bill, which proposes the
creation of bank OF nations.
Mr.. Crisslnger and Senator Hitch
cock are working along somewhat diff
ferent lines, but both have in mind TIE
creation Of an agency which will help
to stabilize international, exchange.
The Hitchcock bill establishes bank
of nations with capital of $2400, O00,-
900 1t provides that the secretary of
the treasury shall subscribe to 81 ,30O,-
100000 of that capital for the Unlteu
States, paying one-third of 1t In goIi
and two-thirds in bonds which he has
under his control. These bonds might
be British bonds or French bonds or
any other bonds of solvent nations.
The bill provides that $500, 100000 of
the stock Of the bank shall be sold 10
the American people, principally to
bankers, exporters and Importers In
terested I'm international commerce.
The remaining $9OOOOO,OOO of the cap
ital would be offered to the other ma
tons of the world with the privilege
Of paying one-third in gold and two
thirds In acceptable bonds. The bill
permits the other nations by treaties
made through the president Of the
United States to establish their rights
as stockholders In the bank.
Criticism Is directed against the
| Hitchcock bill on the ground that 1t
provides for governmental participa-
ton in the banking business. Senator
Mclean of Connecticut, who is chair
man of the committee on banking ana
currency, before which the bill Is pend
ing, holds the view that IL bank of
this kind Is established the capital
should come from private persons ana
not be taken out Of the treasury OF the
United States. Leading bankers Of the
country hold the same view. Senator
Hitchcock. however, in answering these
arguments, contends that such bank
to be successful must have the power
of the government behind Ii and that,
furthermore, II must have the backing
not only of the government Of the Unit
ed States, but OF a union of govern
ments.
Senator Hitchcock believes that n
bank of nations Of this Kind cou,ti
greatly aid in staOlizing financial CON
ditions of the world. The proposed
bank would have authority TO issue
currency to be known MS the internu.
tiOnal dollar.
IL would dedicate the bank of ma
tons to the financing OF international
commerce." said Senator Hitchcock in
discussing his scheme. II would au-
thorize il TO buy and sell exchange, 10
lend money TO importers, To exporters
and to banks engaged in fianclng ex-
porting and importing,

Murdere r OF Charles Denton Claims
Only Regret She Has Is That She
Is Barred From Visiting
Her Daughter Betty

Los Angeles, Cal.-vivacious, un.
worried, chatting brightly with friends
and interviewers, Mrs. Louise l.. Peete
convicted murderess, waits in the Los
Angeles county Jail decision on her
attorneys motion for new trail.
Mrs. Peete was found guilty of the
murder of Charles Jacob Denton, rich
mining man. Denton had been shot
through the back of the head, gar
roted, hands and feet tied and the
body buried In an especially con struct-
ed crypt" with dirt and rubbish In
the basement of his Catalina street
mansion.
Mrs. Peete, under conviction for
the murder, was dressed in pink silk
kimonO and dainty slippers as she
granted an interview Saturday.
"Why do l look happy?' she re-
peated, smiling quietly. "Well, am
simply making the best or bad bar
gain. What else can be done?"
Mrs. Peete takes an interest in other
woman prisoners, although plainly of
very different caliber from a majority
Of them.
She expressed qualification over the
recent acquital here of Edith Lund-
berg, Los Angeles girl, charged with
killing her sweetheart In the "Worden
death romance" Miss Lundberg had
been prison mate of Mrs. Peete.
IL am glad Edith was freed" Mrs,
Peete said. "She was frail little
thing, and she suffered so very much.
Yes, am more than happy that she
Is free.
"As for myself? Well, 1 can bear
my lot.
"Do you know, there are just two
things that 1 miss most of all. The
first, though least important, is that
l can never see the new styles and the
pretty things in the windows. Do You
realize what that is to woman who has
always loved good clothes!
"And the second thing miss
that is what really cuts my heart.
at is Betty. My-my little girl
And Mrs. Peete would talk no more.

DES MONIES FOLKS
WALK TO LABORS
PEOPLE CROWD GREAT BUSES
AS SUBSTITUTES IN ORDER TO
TRAVEL ABOUT CITY.
Bosses Send Autos to Pick Up EN-
ployes Getting to Work;
EVERYBODY Cheerful in
Making Shift.

Des Moines, Iowa-Street cars were
a memory in Des Moines Thursday.
| Seventy-two busses, big omnibus bod
les on three ton truck chassis, were
| covering every street car line in the
city.
Perhaps 1t was because people did
not jam the cars at the usual rusl
hours, but rather arose early anu
eased the rush, but everybody rode to
work.
Every bus was crowded, from the
first "owls" that followed In the wake
of the troleys on their last trip, to
the full fleet Thursday.
Every bus was being worked on n
twenty-four hour shift, with three
drivers
"Have ride" clubs began func.
tioning and continued through the
morning, carrying many workers. NJ
automobiles came TO the downtown
district empty.
The heavy busses bumped down
low with their capacity loads-theN
seat twenty, but at least forty rode
on every trip.
When the boss got to work he sent
his car to pick up his employees.
Every one of the sixty-tive DeS
Mones trolleys was lined up in iron
of the car barns at ten minutes befOry
midnight, the hour set by the federal
court order which stopped the trolleys
after the mortgage holders, together
with car company receivers, had re.
sisted cessation of service.
An eleventh-hour attempt to hold
up the car company cashier Of the
$1,000 of the last run receipts was
frustrated and hour before the street
cars were taken Off when one OF the
accOmpllces went Ia the police with
his story. G. Il. Hill, former mo
tOrman with the company, was arres g.
and Is said by the police to have con-
fessed
When the conductors of the night
started on long walks across the city
to their homes, 1850 more men were
left without jobs In Des MOines. The
carmen's union was unable To help out
their workers, II was said.
Des Moines, city OF 10000 scat

territory, will be done inestimable
