Three weeks after the automobile

Stein, who asked him to take a de-

him that he would get in trouble If
he went for the package.

$4,000 FRAUD
is LAID TO RICH
MANUFACTURER
Found Bound in Ditch, but
kidnapping Is Believed
Insurance Plot.
By United Press

OU CUlbtu ffcoo
ABEL, Ia, June "a. - John w.
Smith, wealthy manufacturer, who
once ran for Governor and who for
months was considered dead and
buried, was held today in the Dallas
county jail on charges of attempt
ing to defraud the Travellers Insur-
ance Company Of $4,000.
Smith was found Tuesday IN a
ditch, near Garner, Ia. His hands
and feet were tied together with
wire. He told officials that three
kidnapers held him prisoner in a
cellar since February, then tossed
him into the ditch.
Sheriff c. A. Knee, who brought
Smith here from Garner Tuesday
night, expressed doubt in the kid
noping story.
Smiths disappearance in Febru-
airy created a sensation. He owns
large insecticide factory at Perry,
was a candidate for Governor in
1880 and was known throughout the
state.
Shortly after he lett Perry on a
business trip, his truck was found
burned.
In it was the charred corpse OF a
man. His wife, beneficiary Of new
$50 900 insurance policy, buried the
body as that Of Smith.
The insurance company doubted,
however, that the politician was
dead, had the body exhumed and
established that it was not his. The
body, it was found, had been en-
balmed before it was burned with
the truck.
Mrs. Smith published statements
pleading with her husband to re-
turn home. On March 20, she re-
ceiyed a mysterious message, sci
ou to keep a supposed rendezvous
with Smith, and was injured when
her automobile turned over.
Several other reports were heard

Of Smith being alive, but no def

until he was found Tuesday.
The manufacturer appeared to be
suffering greatly from fatigue and
became incoherent after telling of
being held prisoner. He was iden-
titled through f1ingerprintS.
Sheriff Knee and Sheriff E. p.
Hanson of Garner, who found
Smith, pointed out in expressing
doubt Of his story that the politician
was tanned although he said he had
been kept in a cellar since February.
They said too that he recently had
his hair cut. He wore a three-day
beard He was bound loosely when
found, Knee said.

HOLDING

Sem Tom Connally OF Marlin
blamed present business depres-
sion upon the gold standard and
the rutnous, unwise and greedy
tariff act of the Hoover admins
tratton," in an address delivered
today at the Johnson County Old
Pioneers Association homecoming.
To-day We face a different world
from that which the pioneers and
settlers Of johnson county and 9TH
er portions OF Texas looked upon
fifty years ago." he pointed out.
World Transformed
They lived upon the frontier.
Today we live in a world trans
formed by invention, new industries
and marvellous Developments. They
lacked many conveniences and
comforts we now enjoy but they
had q greater independence and
relied upon their own efforts in
u much larger decree than we do
at the present time.
To-day we look upon a world
which possesses a surplus OF useful
and necessary things of life and
Jet find millions of people scatter
ed all over the earth IN want and
qnisery. Commerce seems TO be
'Hei1ed with creeping paralysis.
There must be fundamental and
far-reaching sources OF the diff
culties with which We are sur
rounded.
Gold coin Is the standard Of
measurement of values in the
greater part of the world. Silver
money and silver bullion have
shrunk in value. - France and
the United States have in their
vaults approximately IS per cent
Of the gold Of the world. :
This great load OF gold is depres-
sii- u foreign markets. Other
countries cannot buy o. US with
out payment in gold or goods.
Tariff Unwise"
"The ruinous, unwise and greedy
tariff of the Hoover administration
Is in large degree responsible for
much of our economic trouble. :
Our foreign markets for our surplus
OF cotton, wheat and other products
have been getting worse and worse
every day since 1t became q law"
He pleaded for restoration OF the
democratic party TO power, de-
claring that "the long rule OF the
republican party has enthroned
policies and practices that require
correction and rejection"

OF misfeasance. malfeasance, deceit,
deception and incompetency against
Lynn Stokes, president, and Harry
Williams, secretary-treasurer and
general manager OF the Texas Cot
ton Cooperative association were
made before the house OF repre-
sentatives today by Rep. Lawrence
Westbrook Of Waco.
Policy of Deceit-
In a prepared statement read to
the house Westbrook also charged
Carl Williams, cotton member Of the
federal farm board, with failure TO
carry out the provisions OF the
agricultural marketing act.
He (Carl Williams) has pursued
q policy OF deceit and ~subterfuge
In carrying out the duties Of his
high office, leaving the affairs OF
the cooperatives in the hands OF
the gang OF agricultural racketeers
who got him his job. and he ought
TO be impeached and removed. He
undoubtedly will be when congress
meets In December" the statement
charged.
Investigation Ordered
The house passed a motion au-
thorizing a legislative investigating
committee TO cooperate with the
attorney general in making a thor
ough investigation OF the charges.
Westbrook charged Stokes and
Harry Williams had in 1929 used
over $4,000 900 OF money due to men,
bers for cotton in gambling on
cotton purchased outright by the
Farm Bureau Gin Company and
that they had lost this money and
could not have paid it back If they
had not been able TO borrow from
the farm board. This, 1 think. is
both misfeasance and malfeasance.'
