K|DNAPERS NOW
BELIEVED IN
CANADA
Shnectady Police Told Men and
Boy in Auto Were Seen
Near Border.
By international News Service.

SCHENECTADY, N. Y, May g.
Police were virtually convinced
early today that the kidnapers OF
Vernon AIexanderSon, six-year-old
son of Earnest F. Alexanderson.
noted radio engineer, escaped into
Canada with the child.
Word received from Detective
Van Deusen, who went to Ogdens-
burg last night. is that he believes
he is on the trail of the kidnapers.
Van Deusen hurried to the northern
part of the State after the police
had learned that an automobile
bearing a license plate issued to an
Ogdensburg man, and carrying two
men and q boy, had been seen near
GloversvilIe several hours after the
kidnapping.
State troopers and police are
watching every road along the
border leading into Canada.
So far every clue has failed to
develop anything material, but
police are almost certain that the
kidnapped boy and his abductors are
in hiding somewhere in the north
ern part of the State, If not In
Canada.

understand they will give it to them.
The drug addict should be treated
as one physically and mentally sick
and not as a criminal Intelligent
and advanced medical opinion
eventually will bring the public
around to this point of view
"One thing / should like to have
you say for me to the people of
Washington, Mrs. Reid requested.
IT have found in misfortune many
friends here and from Senators,
Congressman and others in official
life have come many messages of
sympathy and cooperation in my
present fight. 1 have tried to
thank them all by a personal letter
but if / have inadvertently over
looked any, 1 hope they will accept
this rather informal acknowledge
ment of my gratefulness.'
Mourning Becomes Her.
Mrs. Reid is dressed in deep
mourning which habiliment is be-
coming to her hair of rich auburn.
On her desk is a picture of her
late husband-WalIy Reid, in what
she regards as his favorite pose In
an accompanying frame are their
two children-Wally Reid, jr., and
little Betty, the latter an adopted
child.
Il miss the chiidren--terribly, :"
said Mrs. Reid, as she noted the re-
porter scan the photographs. II
should certainly have brought them
were it a shorter trip, but four
nights on the train, both going and
coming, was too much. They are
darlings, both, and my whole life
will be spent in making them
happy. That of course, means hap
piness for me also"
Mrs. Reid paused and then went
on to tell of Billy's present pur-
suits. He must be a regular" boy
Already, she says, to tries to play
baseball, and is fond of athletic
stunts and healthy as a young colt.
He has every Imaginable toy and
game to amuse him, his mother
smiiingly averred.
And Betty? o, Betty's too small
tot to draw plans for yet. But
she's q darling and as smart as a
whip. Wen talk about Betty when
she gets bit older"
So Mrs. Reid sat and talked of
what are to her the dearest things
in life In her efforts to aid in
ending the greatest moral menace
Of the United States-the narcotic
drug evil-she is displaying truly
fine bravery, for in her attendance
at the sessions of the conference,
in her talks at the Washington
churches, she will of necessity de-
| liberately open up the wounds in
flicted by the saddest chapter in
her life-the death of her husband.
She is doing it for humanity.
