BOY IS FOUND
UNNAMED.
N NROAD
Esthsr and Lawyer Locate Him
through Aid Of Mysterious
Negro FamiIy's Directions

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, Jan. 2 G.N.S0
Parents and relatives Of Adolphus
Busch Orthwein, 13-year-old grand
son Of August A. Busch, presi-
dent Of Anheuser-Busch, Inc,
and great-grandson Of the late
Adolphus Busch, multi-million-
aire brewer, today continued to
keep secret the details Of the
boys abduction New Year Eve.
He was returned unharmed to
his parents late yesterday, 20
hours after he was kidnapped in
Huntleigh Village, st. Louis
county, while in the company Of
Roy Yowell, family chauffeur.
Deny Ransom Paid
Acting as spokesman for the
family, Attorney Henry Troll
denied that any ransom had
been requested or paid. Mr.. Trcil
declared the Busch family would
stand by the agreement that any
person furnishing information
leading to the return of the boy
would be rewarded generously
"and no questions asked"
He refused to explain further
his statement that the tranSac-
tiOn to get back the child had
been made possible through .
connection I made 80 years ago."
Waiting Alone On Road
The child was found by his
father and Mr.. Troll on a road
in the country, standing alone,
apparently waiting for his rescu-
erS to come to designated spot.
He was f-+igued and begrimed,
but had not been mistreated in
am NAY. He said:
Here I am, and I am glad
to be with you again"
Mr.. Troll said they set out to
find the child after the kidnaper
had called by telephone. He said
that after comforting with the
Orthweins he left in an auto
mobile, picked up a negro man
and woman and went to get the
kidnapped boy after a lengthy
conference with the negro couple.
He refused to identify the
couple, but he admitted they had
''helped materially" in locating
the child.
Negro Was Kidnaper
It was a lone negro armed
with a revolver who robbed the
Orthwein chauffeur and drove
away in the limousine with the
child, later leaving the stolen au-
tomobile to enter a smaller car
with the Busch heir.
Although authorities were in
cIined to believe the kidnapping
was for the purpose Of obtaining
. ransom, Mr.. Troll said he and
the boys family thought the alb
g ductiOn was executed as an after
thought.
In the presence of his father,
Attorney Troll and his 5-year-old
brother Jimmy, Adolphus last
night talked with reporters. He
answered all questions except
those ruled out by Troll. The
boy was not allowed to discuss
any questions which might indi-
cate that a ransom had been
paid.
Adolphus said his captor wore
O hood to screen his features.
Ira Cooper, negro d detective
lieutenant, who was instrumental
in the rescue Of a kidnapped book
maker a few months ago, aided
materially in gaining the Orth-
vein boys release.

 JAP TROUBLE
Manchuriafl Disagreement Caused By Troops
 Guarding Tracks

Washington-The Chinese-Japa- Ilese clash in Manchuria again has turned the minds of statesmen and history students to the salient role of railroads in the drama, of im- perial expansion.
 Nervousness of the Allies over the contemplated Berlin to Bag dad railroad was a. assecondary cause of the World war. And now in Manchuria, two Oriental giants are threatening war over a railroad.
 It ie about the 700 mile track Gge of the Japanese-owned South civilization is being developed in China's eastward province. It is to protect this large investment that j. pan maintains 10,400 troops on what is technically Chinese soil. And it was due to the presence of these troops that started the Sino- Japanese disagreement. =
 A comprehensive resume of the railroads history and it's influence on Chinese Japanese affairs has just been completed by the Ma tional Geographic society.
 Rapid, development of Manchu- ria followed construction of the road, the report pointed out. Be- fore the Chinese eastern and the South Manchuria railways were built, Manchuria had but sparse populotion. Now there are vast farms, production mines. In the last 24 years, Manchuria's foreign trade has expanded 16 times.
 One of Japan's disappointments was that Manchuria did not pro- vide a haven for the islands crowded population. Japanese cot onies were founded in Manchuria. but the colonists would not re- main there. For one thing the climate was too severe; for an- other, the Japanese were accus- toned to intensive cultivation and could not accustom themselves to tilii {. broad acres.
 Failing in their colonization ef- forts, Japan's statesmen sought to make Manchuria a grainery and a source of raw materials.
 ''In this" the report continued, ''they have succeeded exteremely well. Beans, bean products, and cereals from Manchura play an important part in feeding Japan and yc c"ea; beans cakes by the millions of tons go to fertile Japa- nese fields; and other products of Manchurian fields, forests and mines pour into Japanese factor ies."

TOWARDS SOCIAL
 FEED CAPITALISM
Philip Cabot in the Autumn Yale
 Review

The time has come when the burden of the capitalist should be increased. not only In order to tighten the burden of the workers but in his own interest. The capi- talist, being human, will regard this as sacrifice or even as a mis-
 fortune, but he may learn that mis- fortune is his best friend. Some sacrifice he must make, and the time has come to face that fact. If he refuses to make any sacri- fees, he will go the way of the old governing classes in other coun- tries. Communism is not the remed

be one of the most heartening
