Investigation of the reported abduction
for ransom of James Sheridan, wealthy
retired Des Moines business man,
marked time today in path Of rumors
and left police with as little clue TO
his whereabouts as on the day he dis
appeared.
One unverified report was that the
go-between for Sheridan's abductors
was delaying payment of ransom ana
release of Sheridan while he built up
an alibi to prove himself an innocent
good samaritan" in the negotiations.
Handwriting Identified.
Shortly after Sheridan walked out Of
a cigar store with stranger last Sep
TENDER /, hts wife received a note de-
manding $4,000 in ransom. She
was reported today to have identified
the handwriting in the note as that
of her husband.
Later, police learned, the go-between
approached friends Of the kidnapped man
with story that while he did not know
the abductors, he was to meet them
along road leading to Illinois and
hand over the money for Sheridan'S re-
lease. The friends seized the enissary,
police were told, and held him to force
the abductors to reduce the ransom to
$4,000.

While disclaiming any part In the move

Der, Mrs. Ruth Hanna Mccormick, Re-
publican senatorial candidate, in cam
paign address today declared that no

The nominee said even the LIQUOR
problem was less important than IAN
other issue which has been raised in
Illinois the last few days"-the right Of
people to petition the government.
1T seems strange" she said. that
here In Illinois in the year 1880 we
should be called upon to debate the
question Of the right Of our citizens to
petition.
Several thousand citizens have signed
this petition for a referendum" she
continued, proceeding under their
constitutional rights and under their
OF this State" and as q result certain
leaders of the Anti-Saloon League in
Illinois have taken the field and their
first attack is upon this legal and con-
stitutional proposal. The league" she
said, could have me oppose this legal
petition now and ignore It later, but, -
she said, IT win listen to no counsel
which outrages every conviction I have
ever held on the subject Of majority
rule, of popular government and Of the
sanctity of the Constitution"
Mrs. Mccormick reaffirmed her state
ment in a speech before the Republican
State Convention that "if majority in
Illinois expressed desire on November
4 for q repeal Of the eighteenth amend
nient," she would accept the result. At
the same time she reiterated her con-
Wction that she was personally q dry

BECKETT IS IN Line
| FOR POLICE BOOST
win Succeed Capt. Sanford
r Unless Civil Service List
r lnterveneS.

faeut. James r. Beckett Of the first
precinct probably will be promoted TO
the rank of captain to I'LL the vacancy
TO be left october by the retirement
Of Can't. william Z. Sanford, veteran
commander of the fifth precinct
Ricketts, name stands first on the
list Of lieitenants eligible for advance
ment. and 1t was indicated by police
oficials today that he would be given
Capt. Sanford's post unless new list
of eligibles, based on the result OF an
examination several weeks ago, Is set
up by the Civil Service Commission be-
fore october /. In that event the Po-
lice Department would be forced to
make an appointment from the new
list, selecting one Of the three lieuten-
ants making the highest rating In the
test.
Others Eligible for Promotion.
Hieuts Walter Emerson, at Detective
Bureau, and Hugh H. Groves, night In
epector, also are eligible for promotion
at this time, their names ranking second
and third, respectively, on the existing
eligible list. Police authorities pointed
out that It is customary for the Civil
Service Commission to certify the three
highest officers on the eligible list when
tt Is called upon to furnish the name
Of q candidate for appointment or pro-
motion. The department then uses Its
discretion In the selection OF one OF the
three. As q rule, the officer standing
first on the list is appointed, providing
his record of service is good.
In the case of Lieut.. Beckett, 1t was
said, he has an excellent record, viz
tually assuring his promotion, unless
the Civil Service Commission completes
the new eligible list prior to October i.
Has Unusual Record.
Lieut.. Beckett has been q member Of
the police force since August s, 1907,
and his record Is unusual, in that dur
ing his 20 years of service he has been
attached to only two precincts-the
first and sixth. At the time Of his ap-
pointment he was assigned to the sixth
precinct, where he remained until
August 10, 1919, when he was promoted
to the rank of sergeant and transferred
to the first precinct He has been at
tached to this precinct ever since. His
elevation to the present rank of lieu
tenant came January Is, 1922. He is
~ years old.
Capt. Sanford is the second officer
Of this rank to ask for retirement within
the last week. The first was Capt.
Charles T. Peck, picturesque comman-
7>r Of the eleventh precinct. Police
zliicials said, however, that there is
no connection between the retirement
Of the two officers, and that it does
not presage further retirementS Of
police captains, several others Of whom,
it was pointed out, also are eligible to
retire, having passed the age of so
years, or having had more than 80
years Of service.
