THREE HELD IN
SECOND FRANKS
KIDNAPPING CASE
Three Youths Arrested After
Decoy Payment of $4,000
Is Made.
By United Press


CHICAGO, June 25.-Three 49,
year-old boys were under arrest to-
day for attempting TO extort $4,000
from Jacob Franks. millionaire
father of Robert Franks. The boys
threatened to kidnap Josephine, Rob
ert's 17-year-old sister.
The boys-Walter Erus, Ige
Thomas and Walter Boryca-were
arrested when they shatched up
decoy package planted by Franks.
Instead of finding the $4,000, they
fell into the hands of ten detectives.
The letter, a crude imitation of
the famous ransom letter sent TO
Franks by Nathan Leopold and Rich
ard Loen when they murdered Rob
ert, was received at the Franks home
yesterday. Franks took it at once
to police headquarters.
"Give us $4,000 or We will l1idnap
Josephine" the letter warned. It
ordered the money in denominations
Of 5, 10 and 20 dollars. to be left at
certain spot in the Italian colony.
At the appointed hour Franks was
driven to the spot and tossed a pack
age out of his auto as indicated. Po-
lice waited in hiding. Finally three
youths rounded a corner, snatched
up the package and hurried away
right into the arms Of the waiting
officers.
Young Thomas, leader Of the trio
admitted he believed Franks would
be frightened by the note and would
rather lose the $4,000 than risk hav-
ing Josephine kidnapped. They ad-
mitted writing similar letters to
other wealthy Chicagoans during the
last few weeks.

Only Half

"If they produce more than the
United States can consume they sell
abroad for whatever they can get.
It may he only half as much as they
get in the United States.
"What we've got to do for the
farmer, as long as this tariff pro
lection is given to manufacturers. is
to insure HIM United States prices
cor what he grows and sells in the
United states"
Howell questions the wisdom Of
knocking the tariff stills from under
the American manufacturer too
suddenly. 1T would cause economic
chaos and paralysis for a time" he
says.
Asked how he would put the
American farmer ION stilts,' Howell
suggested a sales tax on wheat pcod'
rcts, which would be returned
directly to the wheat grower, Giving
him the equivalent Of an American
price tor wheat used in the United
States.

Licenses Sold

The secondary defendants. Stone
charges, have become parties to the
combination by accepting licenses by
one or more Of the primary defend
ants.
The Government charged that
though patents on the cracking"
process by which gasoline is made
were issued sixty years ago and have
expired, the primary defendants
have pooled a number OF patents
covering unimportant improvements
and are seeking to eXtOrt huge
sums from manufacturers Of gaso-
line in guise of royalties.

Idea Results in Arrest

His idea Of celebrating Grotto night
resulted in the arrest of a man CIV
ing his name as Charles Sellers of
Boston on a charge of malicious de-
struction of property and drunken
ness. Police said he broke the plate
glass window's of sedan, owned by
Gilbert Marshall, Atlanta, Ga.
The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1924-06-25

The McNary- TIaugen bill, which
proposed to pay the farmer the
price difference in scrip" by
which the loss on the exported
surplus would be checked back to
the farmer, would accomplish the
same purpose in a slightly different
way.
"The sales tax method is an opera
ton without an anesthetic; the Nc
Nary-Ha ugen method is an opera
ton with an anesthetic." Howell
says. LAS things stand now, the
farmers are an exploited class. They
must pay United States prices for
what they buy, hut can not get
United States prices for what they
produce. even when they sell in the
United States.

Woods Grazing Hurts

Opening the farm woods to pasture
is harmful not only to the woods,
but to the stock. Grasses in the
woods are sparse. unpalatable and
grow out in the open. At the same
time cattle and sheep grazing there
are more liable to destroy the un.
dergrowth than they are to feed on
the grass.

Protection of the religious free

Regarding this last point which
Juror has developed in pre-conven-
ton days. Phelan said:
Upholds Law
''McAdoo is deeply ground IN
American principles, the Constitu
ton and the law. He opposes any
discrimination on account Of re-
ligious belief. America was the pro-
test of free men of the world against
the religious bigotry and persecu-
tons of the past and it is a matter
Of constitutional principal and pre-
cept to respect and protect the free

ngion, of press, of assembly"
In conclusion, he said:
"a century ago there came riding
from the West a peoples Presidsat.
Andrew Jackson. Today there has
come another man from the West,
another old hickory" with the
same sympathy for the common
man, the same heritage Of American

Rivals Arnlstice Night

Tuesday night the prophets gave
themselves over to making the pag-
cant, mardi gras ana night parade a
huge success. and they succeeded.
The parade followed the same line
Of march as the daylight parade of
Monday. ii was an informal affair,
far different in character from the
formal, dignihed affair Of the day
before. Prophets swarmed over
trucks. marched with bevies of
pretty girls in their ranks, bands be
came hopelessly mixed. Every one
was out TO get every ounce of enjoy
ment and pleasure out of the affair.
Capacity crowds swarmed through
the downtown streets and hotel lob
bies, dancing, singing and staging
various stunts.
All in all, it was one Of the best
parties" Indianapolis has seen
since the Armisgice day celebration
Of 1918.
Hundreds Of tho prophets attended
the dance OF Shalimar Grotto Of New
Orleans La. at Rainbow Casino Gar
den, following the parade.
