TOURIST TRAVEL
 WILL BE LARGE
Indications Point to Record Breaker, C. N. Or
 fcial Declares

SEATTLE, May 21.-"Every fndi- cation points to a record breaking tourist travel to the Pacific North- west this summer. Low westbound excursion fares go into effect May 18th; eastbound May g, on all railroads. Some of the lines will as usual run second sections of regular trains to accommodate the heavy travel on the first few days the excursion tcikets are on sale.
 "The new fast schedules between points in the Pacific Northwest and Chicago, will go into effect the second week in June. Eastbound the running time will be 61A hours, reduction of hours and 45 minutes from present schedules. Westbound the running time will be 63 hours, reduction of hours. These fast trains, materially reduc- ing the time required for tourists to reach the beauty spots of this section, coupled with the fact that no extra fare will be charged for the faster service, should assist in attracting attention and travel to the Pacific Northwest" said c. w.. Meldrum, Asst General Passenger Agent, Great Northern Railroad.
 Another valuable tourist asset will be brand new train, the En- pire Builder, the last word in pas senger equipment construction af- fording every travel refinement. This train will make it's initial trip to the east starting from the Coast June II, and be a luxurious com panion train to the Oriental Linn tied. The Great Northern will then have two of Americas finest trains running between Puget Sound, Spo- kane and Chicago, as against but one train at the present time.
 Advance reservations in Glacier National Park in Montana, are heavier than ever before, and a vast army of sightseers from the east are coming to share our matchless scenery and unequalled climate, leaving golden trail" in all parts of the Pacific Northwest" "

KIDNAPPING,
 DEATH PLOT
 IS REVEALED
U. s. Ambassador Morrow Receives Threats Con-
 cerning Daughter
LARGE SUM DEMANDED OR TORTURE INDICATED
Guards Surround Girl Hurried Flight Made
 by Col. Lindbergh

BOSTON, Mass, May 21.- The Boston Post, in a copy lighted article today, says Dwight w. Morrow, Ambas- sadOr to Mexico, has been made a subject of a S50,0OO extOrtion plot.
 The money was demanded under penalty of kidnapping, torture and death to his youngest daughter, Con- stance, aged f5 years, stu dent at the Milton Academy.
 The Post said it learned that receipt of two threaten ing letters was directly re- spOnsible for last Saturdays secret flight of Col. Charles A. Lindbergh and members of the Morrow family to the Morrow Home at North Haven, Maine, and is also re- spOnsible for a de tective guard around the home and impersOnatiOn of Constance by another girl at the Acad- emy, while Constance was spirited away to join Lind bergh.
 Constance received the first let ter and showed it to the school authorities. The family was im- mediately notified and a guard was placed around her.
 The second letter contained de- tailed instructions concerning plac- ing of money and named last Sat- urday as the time for the money to be left.
 Morrow's former partners in the law firm of J. F. Morgan Company, took a hand in the case and the services of Federal operatives were enlisted
 Although Constance's imperson- ator followed the instructions close ly, no one appeared to claim the dummy package.
 Meanwhile Constance and Miss Anne Morrow, Lindbergh's fiancee, and other members of the family, made quick trip to Maine.
