Merchant Escapes Fusil- Jade of Bullets After Re- fusing to Aid Unknown Gang With EXtOrtiOn Plans.

Shawnee, Okla, Oct. Is P}-City and county officials and a corps of private watchmen and detectives frightened their lines today against an unknown enemy as revelation that a Shawnee business man had been abducted and threatened with death brought disclosures that five wealthy men Of this region have been threatened by q band ot eX- tortionists.
 First public knowledge of the ac- tivities ot the eXtortionists came when Arthur l.. Faublo, Shawnee, appeared in Wichita, Aas., Sunday night after having been missing since the night previous and told police he was kidnapc1 by band of men 10 whom he several months be- fore had paid between $3,000 and S4,G00.
 Fauble said he was abducted be cause he refused 10 aid the gang to intimidate wealthy friends by shoot ing at their houses from his car, He was thrown into the dry bed of the Arkansas river in Wichita, he said, and fired at as he fled ill the dark ness.
 Rich Men Threatened
 Police here revealed soon after hearing of Faublc's abduction that q series of threats had been made against the lives of four other veal thy men of Shawnee and q multi millionaire negro of EarlsDorO. De- mands were made for sums ranging from SIC, ,0O0 to S15,G06, according to r. A. Budd, chief of the Shawnee detective squad,
 Those threatened were H. T. Doug las, president of the Shawnee Na- tional bank; Frank Buck, president of the Federal National bank; A, A. Fouts, retired millionaire oil land owner; W. r. Narnum, president of the Farm Union association Of Okla homa; and Forest Anderson, one of the countrys wealthicst negroes.
 Homes Strongly Guarded
 Private detectives have guarded the homes of Douglas and Buck. whose banks are the largest Of the city, for more than two weeks. Pow erful flood lights cover the lawns around their homes. Evidence that the organization of the gang also is to be used in other criminal activi- ties is seen by police in the fact that threats of theater robberies have heen received hv T F. HOrnbeCk, manager Of three theaters, and by L. H. Chatham, manager of two mo- ton picture houses here.
 Fauble was able 10 give little de- scriptions of the men who abducted him and to whom he paid several thousand dollars last April. All avail- able city and county police officers were ordered into the search for the gangs members.

 ated if Water Advances

Miami, Fla Oct, Is Py-Drain- age bitches overhowing from recent heavy rains caused an enormous lake to converge on lowland sections of Miami, Hialeah and other points in this section of south east Florida today.
 Millions of acres were flooded by the gigantic sheet of water. However, the flood was not expected to reach into Miami proper.
 Town Must Evacuate
 Hialeah, in the immediate path of the slowly moving flood, was faced today with the prospect of complete evacuation With water already standing from a few inches to sev- eral feet deep in the thriving sulslrb of Miami, an increase of six inches more would make living there dan gcrous, according to J. o. Frank, Legion official in charge of relief work.
 An emergency fund for cutting drainage ditch in the southwest sec tion of the city to permit the water to flow more freely into Biscayne Bay has been voted by the city coun- cil.
 Makes Aerial Survey
 c. Carl Adams. engineering head of the Glen H. Curtiss properties made an aerial survey of the huge lake and reported that the west dykes of the Miami canal had broken at one place to the north of Hialeah, thereby letting loose a great mass of water. Biscayne dyke, Adams reported, is under water.
 The water behind the dykes is re- ported to be about two feet higher than sea level.

Federation; the syndicalist Railroad
Federation; the Textile Federation,
and the "Alianza Libertaria Argen-

opening of the new house for work
ers' organizations. Representatives
of Italian, Yiddish, and Arabic
Communist groups and labor organ
izations appeared on the platform
with Argentine speakers represent
ing all forms of revolutionary labor
