EUROPE BUSINESS
OUTLOOK SURVEYED
Conditions in Principal Areas
Dull, Tending Toward Fur
ther Depression.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
European business conditions were
reviewed today by the Commerce De-
partment in a summary of cable and
radio reports received from all principal
countries on that continent.
Reports from European countries
generally show continued dullness with
a tendency toward further depression
in most countries, especially in Italy
where lack of, confidence has caused
further slackening Of business and in
Hungary where poor crops have been
added to other unfayorable factors" the
review said.
Crops In Norway Favorable.
I'm Norway, export industries have
been affected by the world depression,
but crop returns were favorable. In
Czechoslovakia unemployment has
reached the highest figure in six years
The slump in Egyptian foreign trade
continues as a result of the unfavor-
able cotton market.
I'm the United Kingdom the depres-
sion does not seem to have become in
tensifled and slightly better sentiment
prevails in few industries. Increase
of unemployment in the Swiss mach
inery and textile industry has been off,
set by a seasonal gain in watch manu-
featuring.
The natural tendency toward sea-
sonal improvement in the Irish Free
State has been retarded by bad crop
conditions
Jugoslavia Shows Improvement.
"In Jugoslavia although there was a
sharp decline in exports during August,
trade returns for eight months show
a considerable improvement over last
year."
Other parts of the-world were touched
upon more lightly by the summary with
a declaration that there was slight
tendency toward improvement in South
Africa" no appreciable change in
Canada or in the Far East, while in
Latin-American countries the prospect
was treated as "unencouraging with
political unsettlement and business
dizziness in most countries"

SPEAKER LAMENTS
VOTELESS DISTRICT
Jesse C. Snter Tells Business
Students Five Methods of
Escaping Citizenship.

Beginning with death and ending
with residence in the District of Co
lumbia, five methods of escaping the
duties of citizenship were cited for
Business High School upper claSsmen
by Jesse C. Suter, vice chairman of the
Citizens Joint Committee on National
Representation for the District of Co
lumbia, in an address this morning at
the special Election day assembly at
the school.
The unsavory list Of escapes" which
was climaxed by residence in dis
franchised Washington" included, be-
sides death, moving to another coun-
try, becoming a lunatic and adopting
the status of the convicted criminal.
Methods Unwholesome.
None of these methods is very
wholesome" Mr.. Suter declared, land
cur to me as ways of escaping the
duties of citizenship and of being de-
prtved of the exercise of the privileges
of citizenship"
In his address Mr.. Suter, who was
speaking in place of T. w. Noyes, editor
of The Star and chairman of the joint
committee, pointed out that actually
Election day is a day of patriotism
which SurpaSSes any Of the commence
rative days, including George Wash
ington's birthday and independence
day. Election day, he said, is marked
by more than patriotic fervor because
it is the day when the very principles
of Americanism are put into effect by
the people themselves.
And today" Mr.. Suter continued,
while our fellow citizens of the States
are casting their ballots expressing their
preference for the persons who are to
govern them we, here in the District
Of Columbia, must sit by idle, watching
the performance"
Urges Interest Of Young.
Mr.. Suter urged his young audience,
however, to interest itself in the results
Of elections so as to. become prepared
for the day when perhaps washington,
too, will be represented in its Congress.
Mr.. Suter was preceded to Business
stage by julius Rosen, a junior -class
student, who declared that the citizen
ship duties of high school students en-
brace the attainment of as good an edu-
cation as possible and good conduct in
and about school every day of the year.
Robert Riley, president of the Bush
ness High School Alumni Association,
was chairman of the meeting, which
was opened by Allan Davis, principal,
with the crisp remark that to-day is
Election day" The program included
the salute of the flag, led by Cadet Capt.
Ralph Cole. The meeting itself was
planned through Miss Selma Borchardt,
faculty member chairman of the Busi-
ness High School Program Committee.

body would show him a warrant until
the search of the home had been COM
pleted. Then one of the squad sat
down at his desk and wrote on the
back of the warrant mo arrests, no
seizures" and gave 1t to him.
Gen. Crosby said he is particularly
anxious TO trace Burkes interest in the
affair because of Mai. Pratt's order TO
the force not to use paid informers.
Little told Crosby that Burke had been
employed as an informer by the now
Lieut.. Oscar j. Letterman, when as
Serst. Letterman commanded the vice
squad, but that since the order had gone
into effect Burke had not been en-
ployed, up to the Flythe case. He said
that Burke is not employed by the Fed
eral prohibition forces.
Burke told him, he said, that he was
tipped of by a stranger, whose ac-
quaintance he made in a Pennsylvania
avenue lunchroom, but whose name and
address Burke did not know. Little
said he had instructed Burke to keep
lookout for the mysterious stranger and
bring him to police headquarters as
soon as he was found. The stranger is
the one TO whom Burke swore Flythe
sold the half-gallon of whisky.
Grand Jury to Hear Of Raid.
The grand Jury, at the direction Of
District Attorney Rover, Is scheduled to
hear evidence Thursday morning con-
corning the raid.
This decision was quickly reached
after the newspaper man had outlined
the case briefly to the district attorney,
charging that the warrant for the raid
apparently had been obtained by per
jury
Mr.. Rover declared that, of course,
he was Just as much interested in rum
ming down perjury in such case as
the victim of such a liquor raid would
be. He added, however. that he be-
lieved Commissioner Needham G. Tur-
mage, who issued the warrant, must
have been convinced of the honesty of
former, or he would not have issued
the warrant.
Flythe told the prosecutor that he
never had sold a drop Of liquor in his
life, and that the only thing in his pos
session which bore the slightest resem-
blance to liquor manufacturing equip
ment was a small wooden ink well and
stand, carved to simulate the form OF
a mountain dew still"
A peculiar phase of the case devel-
oped when F1ythe pointed out to the
district attorney that the information
fled with Commissioner Turnage by
Burke did not state that the informer
had made an alleged purchase, but
rather that Burke declared he had seen
some one else made purchase at the
Flythe address, 1906 @ street.
The John Doe warrant, issued on COM
plant by Burke, was returned by r. A.
Williams, prohibition agent, bearing the
report: mo seizures" No arrest was
made after the liquor squad had searched
the Fiythe residence.

DETROIT, November 4.-Tnspector
John Hoffman, head of the Detroit
police blackhand squad, said today that
Charles Kaier, wealthy retired real es-
tate dealer, had been released by kid
napers and returned to his home here.
Hoffman did not give out details OF
Kaier's release, but it was learned from
other sources that Kaier was put out
Of an automobile in Indianapolis, Ind,
Monday after being given his watch, a
ring and 50. He made his way to To-
ledo, from where friends brought him
back to Detroit.
Kaier was kidnapped last Thursday
night by four men who posed as Federal
prohibition agents and said they were
taking him to the United States district
attorney. Hoffman said Kaier was ac-
quainted with Joseph (Peajacket)
Wozniak, alleged Ecorse rum runner,
who was indicted two years ago on
charges of bribing United States Gus
toms border patrolmen. Wozniak was
said to have brought Kaier home from
Toledo.
After the retired real estate man had
been kidnapped his wife received o de-
mand by telephone for $4,000. This
later was reduced to $4,000, but when
she went to hotel to pay $4,000 of the
ransom the kidnapers' agent did not

taxicab loads of detectives had followed
Mrs Kaier to the hotel, and detectives
waited in the lobby near her. Police
said she did not know they had learned
Of the kidnapping.
Detectives under Inspector Hoffman
had worked on the theory that Kaier
was kidnapped by Ecorse rum runners
whose importing business had become
more hazardous and less profitable with
the passage of the Canadian law against
exporting liquor to the United States.
