Japanese Prince and Bride
Amazed at Ne1u York

'tourage at breakneck speed to
the Metropolitan Museum of Art,
a reception at City Hall and
numerous other places.
The prince cOnfided that the
noise, parade up Broadway, the

the energy of American newspaper
photographers have been the
most amazing phenomena greet
ing him and his bride since they
started on their honeymoon world
tour year ago.

looks like a Japanese print, smiles
and glances shyly here and
there. She is very we'll dressed
and she is Occidental enough to
use a slight touch of powder
rouge and lipstick.

'NO, but 1 like to read"
He dismissed the interviewers
with "That's enough"
The photographers lined up
before him. He posed a minute,
Then he said:
"That'S enough"
"Hey, one shouted: stick
around, Prince"
But the Prince was gone.

MONROE, Wis, April II
G.N.SO.-A note demanding $780,.
900 ransom for the release of Fred
j. Blumer, a brewer of near beer,
was received here today by one of
B1umer's associates.
The note, mailed in Chicago,
was signed "UnemplOyed Guys.
1t instructed that the ransom be
delivered at the corner of Madison
and Canal Streets, Chicago, be.
tween and 10 a. M, Tuesday.
A threat was made against noti
flying authorities of receipt of the
note.
Last Thursday night, after they
had lured the brewer from Mon
roe to Rockford, ILL.,, the kid
napers promised they would make
their demands today. It was then
stated $15O,OO0 would be de
manded to secure Blumer's re
lease.
Since Burners disappearance,
search has been underway in Chi.
cagO, FreeFOrt and other Illinois
cities, but not a single clue has
developed.
Mrs. Blumer and her 20-year-old
daughter are doubly anxious for
the kidnapers to call. They are
prepared to barter with them.
She made it plain, however, that
the demand for $15O,000 cannot
be met.
Marion, the daughter, advised
officials to "let them know they
kidnapped the wrong man." She
said the kidnapers believe hel
father to be richer than he is.
