SEEKING AUTHORS
Detectives on the Lookout for Writers of $5O,O00 ExtOrtion Letter Sent to U. $. Senator AIediII Mccormick.

Byron. Ill.,, July 5.--Detectivee are seeking the authors of a s50,000 ex- tortion letter sent to Y. S. Senator Medill Mccormick and his wife. The letter made no threats but demanded the money be placed under a culvert near the Mccormick farm home here.
 Two men who picked up decoy package were released yesterday after being questioned, but are sought for further questioning. They convinced the officers they accidentally had found the package and were not the writers of the letter.
 The demand was received Thursday night just after Senator Mccormick had left for Europe.
 Mrs. Mccormick, who turned the demand over to States Attorney Johnson, was unable to supply a mo- tive for the letter. Just what inspired the writing of the letter. l cannot say," she said. "The letter was brief and merely demanded that we place the money under culvcrt north of our farm. There was no threat of any kind in the letter. Reports have reached me that it threatened to kid nap my young son if the money were not deposited under the bridge, but that is not true. No person was men tioned In the letter as the object of revenge in case the money was not de- liyered."

LnFolIette Keeping Close Tabs on Democratic Convention - silent events at Cleveland Convention,

Washington, July 5.--The day of his expected nomination as presi- dential candidate by the Cleveland convention found Senator LaFollette still in virtual seclusion at his home here with no word to add to his message to the gathering announcing that he would be an independent candidate or comment to make on it's proceedings.
 Apparently he was leaving his in- terest in the proceedings at Cleveland, as to the selection of vice president ial candidate to run with him and all other matters, entirely in the hands of his supporters there. Meanwhile he continued 10 keep in touch by radio with proceedings at the New York convention of the Democratic party which, with the Republican party alike, he arraigned in his message read at Cleveland yesterday.

By the Associated Press.
 Paris, July S.-Holand may decide to forego the chance of staging the 1928 Olympic games and the ninth modern revival of the games may be held in the United States after all. It is reported in Olympic circles that Holland, sensing the magnitude of the preparations necessary to run off the Olympic events, would not be averse giving up her turn. in which event the games would automatically revert to Los Angeles. It is understood the question will be brought up at a meeting of the international Olympic committee to be held Immediately after the competition Tn athletics.
 Hollands seat in this committee now is vacant. The Dutch member will be elected this month, and it is expected in Olympic circles here he will announce that Holland feels in- sufficiently equipped to run the games four years hence and the American delegates will then ask for them in behalf of Los Angeles

 I.aFolielte Hailed
 Senator LaFellette was hailed as 'the tribune of the American people, their greatest spokesman and their most loyal defender"
 The recent republican national cons sention was referred to as "a life- less gathering of political puppets: the democratic convention as a dis orderly mob meeting. which respond ed to boss control quite obediently In its Noting"; and the communists as tools of reaction who are constantly striving 10 destroy the American h. hor movement and create chaos in the ranks of the progressises." s. Mir. Johnston claimed the present convention represent 5000. 000 citizens and he said its program was broad enough to include the best interests of wage earners. farmers, salaried work CTS, professional men and 'indcpen- dent bankers. manufacturers and mer- chants"
 He said in part:
 We have gathered on the 14sth anniversary of the Declaration of In- dependence for action to secure those rights for which governments are in- stituted among mon, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed.
 When that immortal declaration of the rights of man was proclaimed our forefsthers were engaged in struggle to establish political freedom. Today the people of the United States are engaged in contest to achieve for themselves and their chill dren. the equally great blessings of economic freedom.
 There is no economic freedom, no equality of economic opportunity in the United States today for any great group of it's common people.
