IDENTIFIES CAPTORS

Says Abducted

BY the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, September 19.-Billy RAN
Teri, l0-year- old victim of kidnapers who
was released last night by his adbuctors
after being held for Is days, today
pointed out the pictures of two Italians
as the men who kidnapped him.
A. Scalzitti. a relative, told reporters
that the lad. now at home. had named
as his abductors Julio SalusSo and Jas
ouale Larocco, picking the pictures OF
the two men out of a group of rs photo
graphs brought from the bureau OF
Identification for him to scan.
The names of doctor and lawyer

have gone out to arrest all four OF tne
suspects.
The lad, who is 10 years old, was
unhurt except for the eye discoloration,
caused, he said, by blow from one
of the kidnapers' fists. He told a
connected story of imprisonment on
a farm and had a good word to say
for the man and woman who were his
jailers.
Gives Details of kidnapping.
"They hit me over the head in the
eve when they dragged me into their
car" Billy said, reciting the details
of the kidnapping September 5. They
kept telling me to shut up, and when
I hollered anyway they hit me-"
''The men who kidnapped me were
Italians" he said THE man and
woman to whose farm they took me
were French. I couldn't understand
what the farm people said, but ! can
understand Italian. The farmers treat
ed me all right. Once I got away, but
they caught me.
.;The two men came several times
20 the farmhouse and talked with the
man and women, but I could not near
what they said Always they would lock
me In the closet when the men came.
The boys release came after police
had announced that their investigation
was drawing close net about the ex-
tortionistS.
Billy said the same two men who
had kidnapped him as he was starting
home from school two weeks ago turned

FEAR Of EPIDEMIC
Declares Only 3 to IS Cases
of InfantiIe Paralysis Here
in 1923 Have Been Fatal.

Only three deaths from infantile pa
ralysis have occurred in Washington
since January /, out of total of Is
local cases, DR.. William c. Fowler, Dis
trict health officer. declared today. One
| of these deaths occurred during August
and the two others during May.
| Although two additional cases report
| ed last Saturday bring the total number
to Is, DR.. Fowler made light of sugges-
tions which have been made TO the
Health Department that the opening
of the public schools on September II
be deferred until all danger from in
fantile paralysis be eliminated.
II see no more reason for deferring
the reopening of the public schools be-
cause of the few cases in Washington
than in closing theaters and other
places of amusement. There is nothing
even bordering on an epidemic in Wash
ington and consequently no reason for
the public to be alarmed he empha-
sized.
Serum Supply Gathered.
The committee on the study of in
fantile paralysis recently appointed by
the Medical Society of the District of
Columbia, Dr.. Fowler pointed out, is
laying up supply of serum obtained
from the blood of patients who have
recovered from infantile paralysis. AS
a member of this committee, DR.. Fowler
believes the experiments will be of in
eStimable value in keeping the disease
from spreading.
"All of our cases in the District we're
not contracted here" he added. I'VE
have reasons to believe that some of the
cases we're contracted by children out
side Washington and brought into the
District. At least one case has been
absolutely traced to an outside source"
Compared with last year, there is
only decidedly small increase in the
number of infantile paralysis cases in
the District at this time.
Typhoid Almost Unknown.
Dr. Fowler declared today that typhoid
fever has been practically eliminated.
due primarily to the improved water and
milk supply For the fiscal year ending
June 80, only IS cases of typhoid fever
were reported in the District. resulting
in 10 deaths. OF these cases, DR.. Fowler
said, % were traced definitely to dis
tricts outside Washington, leaving SIS
cases which might have been con-
tracted here.
But in at least 20 of these SIS cases
the Health Department has reasons to
believe that they might have been con-
tracted elsewhere" DR.. Fowler said.
when the department first began
to make reports OH typhoid fever" he
added, sit was customary to have 1900
cases annually This was as far back
as 1906. Now it can be said that
typhoid fever is almost eliminated"
Considering the fact that patients
are sent from all sections of the country
to Walter Reed Hospital and other
Government hospital bases here, DR..
Fowler contends that the death rate for
the District is unusually low.
yet all deaths or diseases at these
big bases are charged up to the Dis
trict of Columbia" he said.

DON'T TELL WAR
FACTS; COOLIDGE

WASHINGTON, Jan. 24.-Presi-
dent Coolidge today attempted to
stifle the outburst of war talk be-
tween military men on both sides of
the Atlantic by a specious repudia-
tion of jingoism that avoided all the
actual facts in the case.
While he refrained from all men,

the presidents comments referred to
the recent speech Of Rear Admiral
Charles Plunkett, head of the Brook
lyn navy yard, in which he predicted
war between Great Britain and the
United States as inevitable. His state
ments were echoed by militarists
across the Atlantic.
Coolidge expressed himself unable
to see why bills for naval appropria-
tions should call forth any more fiery
war talk than the annual post office
appropriation. Talk of that sort is
he advised the militarists,
and while he would not go so far as
to "muzzle the press" he warned them
against disclosing the real danger Of
war between the imperialist powers.

interior, today testified as to how he
delivered the $233,000 from Harry F.
Sinclair to Fall as part of the bribe

Everhardt took the stand before
the senate public lands committee
and "under protest" told the story of
the financial deals between the oil
baron and the former government
officials. He admitted that he acted
as trustee and intermediary in the
deals. Twice previously Everhardt
had declined to testify on the ground
that "it would tend to incriminate
me-"
Sinclair gave Fall $233,000 in
Liberty Bonds and loans of $4,000

lease was signed in the spring in
1922, Everhardt testified.
