MAROTT WINS a
BUILDING SUIT
Buys Site to Halt Filling
Station Project.

George J. Marott, shoe merchant
and hotel owner, has ended a two
year fight to block a filling station
project across from the Marott
north side apartment hotel by buy
ing the site, it was learned today.
Marott is understood to have paid
$4,000 for the property of E. w.
Warner, northeast corner of Twen-
ty-seventh and Meridian streets.
Frank Wooling, real estate deal~
er, had sought for two years to OBJ
tain permission for a filling station
on the choice corner across from
the expensive hotel. Marott's at
torneys battled him before the board
of zoning appeals, park board, city
council and in circuit court.
"It is unfair that man should
have to fight for two years to pro-
tect his property. think the city
should control all filling station sites
and receive he revenue above a
stipulated amount" Marott pro-
posed.
Marott said he had not decided
what use he will make Of the new
property.

POLICE SEARCH
FOR KIDNAPER
Child Lured Into Auto and
Taken to Country.

Police today searched intensively
for a man who lured Vivian Mar
tin, 7, of 3119 West Sixteenth street,
into the country near Clermont
Wednesday and attempted to at
tack her.
From a description of the girls
abductor and his car, police were
hopeful of capturing him.
The girl, daughter Of T. r. Martin,
was on her way to school at Belle
Vieu place and Fourteenth street,
at 1870 p. m, when a man in a big
automobile offered to drive her to
school. The child accepted, but the
man drove into the country and
took the child into corn field.
He tried to stif1e her cries by
holding his hand over her mouth,
but was frightened away without
accomplishing his purpose. Her
clothing covered with mud, Vivian
walked home. Police we're called
and she was taken to City hospital
for examination, and returned
home.
From Amos Kentzer, 1406 North
Holmes avenue, police learned the
girls abductor was driving lead
colored Studebaker sedan. When
the car stopped for gas, the driver
was amusing the little girl at his
side with stories. Two small white
dogs were in the back seat, Kentzer
said.
He described the driver as being
from 30 to 95 years old, about 5
feet 8 inches in height, weighing
about ITS pounds, of sandy COM
plexion, and wearing a gray hat and
gray sweater.
owen Peet, 2617 Massachusetts
avenue, reported to police that a
man tried to lure his stepdaughter
Idel Rapier, II, into Ford coupe
this morning at Hazel street and
Massachusetts avenue.
Police believe the man may be
the same one who kidnapped the
Martin girl.
