BOND MAKERS
PROBE BEGUN
IN CITY COURT
Property of Professionals
to Be Checked; County
Is Included.

Investigation of bonds placed in
county and city courts by several
local professional bondsmen has
been started by Deputy Prosecutor
John L. Niblack, he said today.
Niblack has gathered data from
records of the municipal courts
and appeal bonds in Criminal
Court. If evidence of violation of
laws is revealed. the matter will be
the basis for affidavits or will be
turned over to the grand jury for
further investigation, Niblack said.
Niblack said that as a whole the
bonding situation in the courts is
better than it has been for several
years. Many courts are enforcing
a rule that bondsmen keep an &C
count of the number of bonds they
sign and submit this to the court
at regular intervals or on call.
The deputy prosecutor began the
quiz after The Times revealed that
Louis Brown Jr., professional bonds
men, 326 E. Pearl ST., signed thirty
six bonds for members of Marion
County horsethief detective agencies
valued at $1,000 each. Brown, In
swearing out the bonds, said he had
$4,000 worth of unincumbered
property, while county tax records
show that there is but $4.210 worth
of real and personal property listed
in his name.
1t is understood Brown has been
collecting a Sc fee for eveSy bond
put up by him and that Charles
Riddle, board Of works member, has,
been active in having Browns bonds
accepted

DETROIT WET IF | WIN, SAYS
MAYOR;>ASSAILS DRY LAWS
Candidate for Reelection
to Let Liquor Flow, He
Tells World.

BIZ Times Special
DETROIT. Oct. 24.-Good liquor
will flow in Detroit If Mayor John
w. Smith is reelected Nov. 8. This
promise was made today in a state
ment by the city executive, hurting
challenge at dry forces.
An open opponent of the dry law
and it's enforcement, a son OF a
brewer, a drinking man whose cellar
always is full, Mayor Smith has
forced the dry question into the
campaign to such an extent that 1t
remains the sole issue.
"They say" said Mayor Smith,
that have nulltied the prohibit
ton law in Detroit. They are
blockheads who do not see that the
public has vetoed the law"
Three years in the executive chair
of the city, and a long experience IN
other official positions has led Mayor
Smith to believe any effort at dry
ness breeds more crime, corruption,
hypocrisy among. citizens, and a
lack of respect for all laws.
Drys Back Opponent
His opponent in the mayoralty
campaign, John G. Lodge, is Waglng
a. rather silent fight, but his cam
paign managers and chief workers
are leaders in the Antl-Saloon
League and allied organizations.
Both men are lifelong Republicans,
in good standing in their party
leaving but one common battle
ground, that of liquor law enforce
ment. =.
During Smiths term and hall,
police never have been ordered not
to raid blind tigers and speakeasles'
but it is understood that such raids
produce slight results.
They're open again the next
day." said Mayor Smith. my Oh
ficers have worked hard on Dig
crime and there has not been a
bank robbery in Detroit since iast
March"
eve always have had liquor in my
home" he said. "My father was a
brewer, and our kegs never were dry.
1.-THE prohibition law is Americas
greatest curse of today, and II by
a wave of the hand I could wipe 1t
out. I should feel that I had per-
formed the greatest service for my
country since the days of the be-
loved liberator, Lincoln"
Postmaster of Detroit
After serving as State Senator,
holding several elective county po-
sitions, Smith was appointed post
master of Detroit by President
Harding and he received the COM
mendation of Postmaster General
New.
He was elected to fill an uneX-
pired term in the mayors Office, and
since has been reelected to one
term of two years. This is his third
attempt.
The Khan fought him bitterly,
and in the last election he won.
Now the drys are against him and
he's out to win again.

CASABLANCA, Morocco, Oct. "a.
French troops, proceeding with
difficulty because of heavy rains,
were moving simultaneously with
diplomatic emissaries today to rescue
-four relatives and friends of
Theodore Steeg, French resident
general in Morocco, from Moorish
rebels holding them for ransom.
Natives said the four Europeans
Yves Steeg, nephew of the presi-
dent general; Jean Maillet, Baroness
Steinheil and Nine. A. Koroff-were
in no danger of rough treatment,
but were being held for ransom.
But remembering the recent
murder of M. and Mile. Arnaud and
the kidnapping of their two
daughters, French authorities were
worried.
At best the four latest victims
of the fierce rebel tribes were at the
marcy of their captors, for the entire
country, were they are held is in
the absolute control of unfriendly,
rebellious tribes.
Hope Lies in Ransom
Because of the mountainous coun-
try, it was feared today that rescue
by force would be difficult-a major
military operation in weather that
makes troop movements almost i'm
possible.
Therefore, greatest hope was
centered in ransoming the captives,
and friendly native ENJOYS have
gone to sound out the kidnapers, to
ascertain the sum they demand.
1t was expected to be high. So
great we're the rebelS'S demands in
connection with the release of the
Arnaud girls that negotiations were
suspended temporarily last week.
Believe Steeg Is Alive
It is believed the Steeg party was
In the hands of Said Bengrada,
mountain chief, with headquarters
in the Hermann region.
Native versions of the kidnapping
were that the body of Yves Steeg
was found near his deserted auto
mobile, but it was indicated now
that he, too, is alive and a prisoner.
A brother in-law of Nine. Proko-
rolf gave the first authentic version.
when my sister in-law and her
companions failed to return at
nightfall from an automobile tour,
he said, IT went to hunt for them
with three trusted natives.
Passing Marabout de Sid we met
a dozen rebel tribesmen. We scat
tered them with our rifles But the
sound of firing put the rest of their
tribe on the alert and we were
obliged to flee, giving our horses
their brides.
Find Abandoned Car
From a farmhouse at which we
took refuge, we sent a messenger
back to the French lines. Just as
the messenger left, Maillet's dog
dragged his almost disemboweled
body up to the door.
1--WE. did not need to guess what
had happened. We started out
without waiting for reinforcements.
+ ARABS told us that the party's
abandoned car stood in the forest
near by. We soon arrived, and
found traces of a violent struggle"
The story of the struggle was told
with mute clarity by cartridge shells,
pearls from a necklace, and hair
pins scattered about the scene.

MRS. REMUS IS
PORTRAYED AS
DEVOTED WIFE
Witness Praises Her; An
other Saw Her in Com
pany of Dodge.

NEW YORK, Oct. 24.-Counsel
gathering evidence to be used next
month in the insanity hearing of
George Remus today took deposit
tons from New York acquaintance
of the Cincinnati bootleg million
aire and the wife whom he shot and
killed on Oct. 6.
Morris Sweetwood, a broker, who
served a term in Atlanta at the
same time Remus was imprisoned
there, was the first witness.
He told Charles H. Elston, attor-
ney for Remus, that Mrs. RemuS
came to New York in 1925 and tried
to dispose of a withdrawal permit
for 1900 barrels of whisky. He
pictured Mrs. Remus as very de-
voted" to her husband. He de-
scribed how she scrubbed the floor
of her husbands cell when the lat
ter was removed from Atlanta to
Athens, Ga, during the inveStiga-
ton of the Warden Sartain case.
Offered to Sell Permits
The name of Franklin L. Dodge,
former Government investigator,
whose friendship with Mrs. Rel1us
was blamed by the slayer for many
of his troubles, was brought into he
hearing frequently.
Sweetwood said he had been in
Indianapolis late in 1925 and had
seen Mrs. Remus and Dodge in a
hotel there, but he could not re-
call whether he had seen them to-
gether.
The next witness was M. H. Kess-
Ter. who was convicted with Sweet
wood on prohibition conspiracy
charge.
Kessler said Dodge had come to
him in 1925 and offered to sell
about 100000 of Remus' permits"
He admitted. however, that he had
never seen the permit slips.

Sartain trial in Atlanta he had seen

KeSsler replied.
"You didn't like him very much?"
II wouldn't say that. But 1 am
not fond of him"
Kessler said he had been more
closely associated with Remus in
Atlanta and Athens than any other
prisoner.
why was that?" asked Elston.
Had Intelligent Mind
Because he had an intelligent
mind" Kessler explained.
Remus treated Mrs. Remus more
as sweetheart than as a WIFE"
Kessler went on.
Remus would telephone his wife
almost every night while he was at
Athens and talk as long as an hour
and a half, using most endearing
terms" KeSsler said.
He was also very cordial toward
his adopted daughter, Ruth, the
