Hotel BACKERS
SEEK EXTENSION
Committee to Consider
James, Dickinson Of
fer of Forfeit

Mayor A. B. Cole, chairman of the
tourist hotel committee, this afternoon
expected to call the committee together
to consider matters in connection with
the hotel project.
1t was understood that James anl
Dickinson, the promoters, have written
the committee asking an extension of at
least go days because of difficulty in
securing the deed to the site from the
railroad company, and also to necessity
for revising plans because of excessive
bids on the original plans. The bids
ran 100000 over the amount the pro-
moters expected to spend.
The promoters, it was reported, agreed
in their letter to the committee to post
an additional forfeit of S2500, making
$12.500 altogether if the extension is
granted.
If the railroad site is not available in
from two weeks to month, it was in
timated that the promoters would then
seek a new site for the hotel. How
ever, they are understood to have been
assured that the deed would be forth
coming within a month.
The committee was expected to gath
er at 2:3O o'clock this afternoon to con-
slider the matters.

nous letter to Andrew W. Mellon, sec
retary Of the treasury, containing an
attack on the secretary's life, is being
held at police headquarters heIe for in
vestigation. What to do with him is 0
problem.
William A. Shreve, chief of police,
said he believed the sanity of Reeme
should be determined and if he is un-
balanced mentally, he should be sent to
an asylum.
Chief Shreeve said he knew of no
federal or state statute that makes it
criminal for man to write a threaten
ing letter unless it is accompanied with
demand for money, except in the
case of threat to the president of the
United States, when the writer may be
prosecuted.
The four page letter was mailed on
train at a suburb Of Kansas City on
July 81. The writer charged Mr.. Mel
Ion with being lax and Indifferent in
regard to the prohibition amendment
and accused him of reasonable life and
action.
Reeme has long been known in Kan
sas City Tor his extreme views on the
question of prohibition.

AMIENS, France, Aug. H.
Eleven persons were killed and
100 injured in last night S rail
way disaster when a crowded
Paris-Calais express Of twenty
coaches of merry-makers bound
for the seashore piled up and
burst into flames just as it
swept into the Amiens station.
The train is said to have been going
sixty miles an hour, instead of having
slowed up outside the station, as the
rules require. The passengers were
mostly in the third class sections and so
far as is known no Americans were
among the dead or injured. The engi-
neer, for unknown reasons, jammed on
the brakes while the train was going
at high speed. The baggage car was de-
rallied, seven of the forward third class
cars were telescoped and the remaining
cars toppled on their sides.
Gas tanks in the old fashioned gas
lighted coaches exploded, three coaches
being set on fire. Nine bodies, five Of
them women, have been found, some
of them badly burned. 1t is feared
others are still in the wreckage. Two Of
the injured mer died and five others are
in a critical coniition.

life in San Quentin prison fol-
lowing the conviction here yes
terday Of plotting to kidnap
Mary Pickford, film star. He
denied their motion for proba-
ton and new trial. The de-
fense gave notice of appeal.
A third defendant, Adrian
Wood, was acquitted, but he did
not escape a warning from sew
eral jurors who as they left the
court room after returning the
verdict, told him he did not
realize how close he came" and
"to be more careful about his
associates in the future
Neither Miss Pickford nor her hus-
band, Douglas Fairbanks was present
when the defendants heard their fate.
Both had testified during the trial that
they knew nothing. Of the kidnapping plot
save what detectives told them.
Sentence was to be pronounced on
Holcomb and Stephens today but de-
fense counsel indicated a new trial
would be asked.
The three defendants were arrested
May 80 after six weeks Of police inves-
tigation. Detectives declared they had
listened in on the conference at which
the trio talked of kidnapping Jackie
Coogan, Baby Peggy, the grand chill
dren of E. L. Doheny, Pola Negri and
finally Mary Pickford. Purported con-
fessions obtained from the three prison
ers corroborated these charges.
1t was planned, the confessions re-
vealed, to seize Miss Pickford during
Shriner week last June, when the spec
tacle of trio of be-fezzed merrymak-
ers making off with an actress in
bunting bedecked automobile was eX-
pected to attract only passing comment.
Then the plans called for Incarceration
Of the actress in some conveniently OBJ
scure dwelling until her actor husband
"came across" with 100000 ransom.
