DOUBTED

LOUISVILLE, KY, Dec. 6 Q.N.S).
Ed Alvey, alleged race track "oper-
ator," who was reported kidnapped
here Monday night, showed up at his
home early today, unharmed and
well.
Alvey said he had been seized in
front of his home by six men,
blindfOlded and iammed into an
automobile and driven around town
for about an hour. Finally, he said.
the car stopped and he was taken
into a house, which he believed was
located across the river in New
Albany, Ind.
There, Alvey said, he was held
prisoner while his abductors tried
to collect $4,000 ransom for his
delivery. Unable to get Alvey's wife
on the phone, the kidnapers gave
up the extortion attempt and set
him free. Alvey said.
"Nice to Me-" He Says
'They were awfully nice to me,
the gambler told detectives who
called on him at his home. "They
fed me well, and even gave me a
daily shave"
Alvey insisted he had no idea who
his captors were, He said they kept
him blindfolded except when he was
isolated in a darkened room and he
had had no chance to see his captors
Their voices were all unfamiliar. he
declared.
l.. J.. Hall, night chief of police,
who was on duty when notified that
Alvey had been released" sent
detective to the gamblers home
to question him.
After lengthy interview, Chief
Hall said:
'It sounds like lot Of hokum to
me. / do not believe the man was
kidnapped at all. 1t is my personal
opinion that he was in a big game
or on a spree of some kind and
put out that story to cover up"
Hall said the police department,
as far as he knew, was taking no
action in the case, believing il
futile to try to find Aivey's "ab-
ductors.'
Hall said the story looted "fishy''
from the start.

SAVED IN
FIRE

MONTREAL. Que, Dec. s.
u.N.S.).--Fire which for a time
threatened to destroy the Western
Hospital here last night was
brought under control early today
after the 100 patients, including
eleven babies, had been saved In
thrilling rescues.
Several physicians. nurses and at
tendants were almost asphyxated
in carrying the infants and other
bed-ridden patients to safety, but
no loss of life had been reported
today, when nearly all OF the pa
tients were taken back into the
hospital.
The fire, which was in the roof
Of the old building. was brought
under control in about an hour
and half. The sick people had
been quartered In neighboring
house while firemen were fighting
the flames.
Ching Johnson, star player of the
New York hockey Rangers, was
one of the patients removed from
the burning building. He has re-
covering from injuries sustained
In a recent game.
At first 1t was feared that the
flames, driven by high wind,
would raze the building.
Ambulances and taxicabs had
been rushed to the scene to take
the patients to other hospitals If
deemed necessary. @

course, a business career, regardless
Of how humble its beginning. Is

A recent inspection OF the EN-
ployment ledger of one Of the bet

five social registerites were holding
positions as salesgirls. All but
very few OF the establishments EN-.

graduates.
College Education Demanded
In many stores, d girl cannot ob-

education and has a diploma TO
prove her qualifications. The store

them to have salesladies of intelll-

young girl left the Plaza Hotel, the
most exclusive of all New YORK $
hostelries, every morning at $50
O'Clock, walked down Fifth Avenue
for several blocks. and then eli
tered the emDlOVe'S entrance OF a
big department store.
The report intrigued metropolitan
reporters, and it was soon learned
that she was the daughter of Mrs.
Sydney Dean. wife of multi
millionaire manufacturer of Buffalo.
For some months prior to her
discovery the young woman had
been living at the Plaza with her
mother and had been working IN
the department stores Juvenile hat

She could see nothing amazing In
her work as salesgirl. explaining
that it was merely preliminary
training preparatory to- embarklng

"Of course. I'm not concerned

who interviewed her.

STRIKES
At POWER
TRUST
BY NJ. L. RAMSAY
Universal Service

Two drastic Federal laws intended
to stamp out the power trust propa.
ganda flooding the schools and press
of the country were proposed BY
Senator Thomas ]. Walsh CD. Of
Montana, in the Senate yesterday.
One bill would make It unlawful
for any person, firm. or corporation
engaged in interstate commerce to
pay teacher or school official for
writing or revising any textbook or
other matter for use in schools
Aims at Pamphlets
Inducing the use Of particular
textbook. or the teaching OF q
doctrine. dogma or theory with
intent to influence opinion in favor
of any particular governmental
action or public policy advocated
by the offender. also would be pro.
hibited.
This measure was aimed at prop
aganda pamphlets maneuvered into
the schools of almost every State
by the public utility propaganda
bureaus, and the subsidizing Of
textbooks, revealed in the Federal
Trade Commission investigation. II
provides a maximum penalty or
81 900 fine and six months i'm
prisonment.
The second bill would deny sec
ond-class mailing privileges to news
papers and magazines knowingly
printing ''any reading matter Tor
pay" or publishing reading matter
furnished in substance" by dis
play advertiser. without disclosure
of these facts to readers. Its et-
feet would be to close the mails
to these publications except a.
prohibitive rates.
Newspapers Made Tools
In the trade commission investiga-
ton, which Walsh made the basis
of a scathing attack on power
propaganda, it was disclosed that
thousands of country newspapers
were handed advertising to grease
the rails" for propaganda against
the Boulder Dam project and in
behalf of higher rates to consumers
4 great proportion of the propa.
ganda articles were printed as edi-
items with their source concealed.
Walsh's effort to invoke the
postal laws and the commerce
clause of the Constitution was
complete surprise, although a storm
of denunciation OF the power prop.
aganda has swept over the country
since the investigation started, the
view has been widely held that the
Federal Governments powers were
limited to exposing 1t.
Cites Resolution
Walsh, who forced the power
trust investigation at the last
session in the teeth of the greatest
lobby ever assembled in Washing
ton, declared the power propaganda
in the schools had given rise to
Indignation"
He put into the Record the resolu-
ton adopted by the National Edu-
cation Association, representing sew.

school officials, condemning this
propa ganda and ordering an In

The battle to reapportion State
representation in the House on the
basis of the 1880 census got under
way today when Representative
Fern R.) of Connecticut asked the
Census Committee, OF which he IL
chairman, to report the Fern bill.
Anticipating a favorable decision
by the committee by close margin,
hackers of the movement declared
they would seek approval OF House
leaders to a plan for showdown
on the bill in the House before
Christmas.
Twenty-eight States would either
gain or lose members In the House
under the Fem plan on the basis
of the estimated population OF the
nation in 1880.
Bitter Fight Ahead
A subject Of bitter controversy
for more than a decade, the reap.
portionment fight promised to fur.
nish the House with its greatest
issue in the present session.
The Fem bill. which was beaten
last year by being sent back to the
committee, can be brought back
into the house by the slight changes
in the language Of the measure,
Fem said.
1--WE can meet all parliamentary
objections to considering the bill in
the short session and / am anxious
to begin the effort to pass the
measure" said Representative Fem.
He declared that further hearings
were unnecessary.
Representative Mcleod R) OF
1AnHnn - a EIna donna n6.
ing action, was prepared to go be-
fore the Rules Committee with
request that the bill be given a
preferred status on the House
calendar.
He has pending a resolution to
make it the question of highest
privilege in the House, but probably
will not press it.
100000 Disfranchised
"The Constitution requires re-
appointment of members of the
House every 10 years based on the
latest census, and there has rot
been reappointment since 1911"
said Mcleod.
"The result is that Michigan,
California and other fast-growing
States do not have equal representa-
LaLlOn III AOTlSENSS' HtS6 arg
5,08S, 900 people in the country ab-
solutely disfranchised by this re-
fusal to obey the mandate of the
Constitution. Had the last presiden-
tial election been close it might
have resulted in a contest because
failure to reapportion also dis
franchies millions who voted for
presidential electors"
The States which would gain rep.
resentation in the House under the
Fem bill are: Arizona, /; California,
6; Connecticut, /; Florida, /; Michi.

Efforts to maintain disci-
pline in the Coast Guard dur
ing the past year resulted in
over 1000 courts-martial, 313
dishonorable discharges and
128 cases of imprisonment.
Admiral r. G. Billiard, COM
mandant, declared in his an
nual report today.
Ever since the Coast Guard has
been charged with the responsibility
of fighting rum smuggling, discipline
has been q problem. Many of the
courts-martial resulting in dishonor-
able discharge were the outgrowth
of activities Of the rum runners. a
big percentage Of tn imprisonments
resulted from deseTt.on.
Standards High
The rum rings operating on every
coast and the Great Lakes, with mill
lions of dollars at their disposal, have
concentrated their effort on corrupt.
ing coast guardsmen. Admiral Biz
lard says, and he has adopted q policy
of connbing his organization ire
uuently for honest men. No CT N
rnissioned officer has Deen charged
with corruption in connection with
law enforcement.
.eThe standards of morale and dis
cipline among the enlisted force Of
the Coast Guard have been very high
and there is indicated spirit OF
con. eminent and Of loyalty to the
service IL 1t is most gratifying" !" Bill
lard said.
has been better than last year. IL
compares favorably with that OF tns
other military services OF the
country"
Life Saving Mark Set
Because of unusual storm condi-
tions the work of navigation protec-
ton went to new records. There
were saved or rescued from peril
$3.50 persons, a large increase over
any preceding year. The Coast
Guard went to the assistance OF
6,S46 vessels in distress, another
record. During a single day 65
cases of assistance rendered were
reported.
During the year, 65,710 vessels
were boarded and 1,554 were seized
or reported for violation Of the law.
The sinking of the u. S. Sub
marine S-4 by the Coast Guard De-
stroyer Paulding off Wood End;
Mass, was referred to as most
distressing and regrettable accident.
