KANSAS CITY, Mo, Dec. II. U.p)
Kidnapers today h e d Mrs. Nell

writing OF the kidnapped woman. It
read:

(Signed) Nell Quinland Donnelly.
The note was accompanied by
another apparently written by the
kidnapers which informed the fam
lily that Mrs. Donnelly would be
blinded and then killed If police
were notified, or if the ransom were
not paid promptly.
This note also contained instruc-
tions for communicating with the
kidnapers.
Mrs. Donnelly had just left the
office Of James E. Taylor, attorney
and associate of James E. Reed,
former senator, and attorney TOR

Going to the spot, he found the
car. He also was informed that he
would receive later communications.

PRISON DIRECTOR
BLAMES GUARDS
FOR OUTBREAK

KANSAS CITY, No, Dec. II.
U.P-Sanford Bates. federal prison
director, placed responsibility for
last Fridays daring break at the
Leavenworth penitentiary upon the
laxity of guards. the Kansas CITY
Journal-Post said today in a COPY
right dispatch from Leavenworth.
Bates said there is every hope
that the parties guilty of intro
ducing contraband or weapons into
the institution can be brought To
justice" The Journal-Post re-
ported.
After such examination as
have been able TO make" Bates
said, Il cannot come to any other
conclusion than that the worden,
Thomas B White. acted in a brave
and resourcetul manner and in the
interest of the institution and is
employees
The director also eXonerated OF
blame three other guards, whom he
named, and who were stationed
along the route taken by the seven
prisoners in their desperate break.
Then he said
The responsibility for the es-
cape lies further back. While such
responsibility cannot be definitely
assigned to any one individual,
there were several instances in
which. had a particular guard been
a trifle more alert, or resouceful.
or discriminating, the whole re-
grettable affair might have been
prevented.
1T seems almost incredible, that
seven men could possess themselves
with firearms, gather together in
a body, and march out of an in
stitution full of employees in the
manner in which this was engi-
neered."
Four of the seven escaped men
were recaptured. Three died in n
farm house in which they made
their last stand Warden White
and two other officials of the
prison were wounded, none SER

Head OF Morgan Com
pany Denies Statement
Made By McFadden.
WITNESS IS FRANK
Action On Moratorium
Expected In Congress
Within Few Days.

WASHINGTON. Dec. II U.p)-
Henry p. Dawson of j. P Morgan
& Company fiscal agents for for
eign debtor nations, told the house
ways and means committee today
that none of the foreign govern
ments had deposited funds in this
country TO meet December 10 pay
ments To the United States which
amounted to Sl24, 300 900. These
payments were postponed under the
Hoover moratorium now being con-
sidered in congress.
Dawson was called to testify III
view of reports brought before the
committee yesterday that the debt
or nations had deposited funds here
and were ready TO pay.
The committee closed It's hearings
after Dawson had completed his
testimony and went into executive
session 10 act upon the bill for the
ratification of the moratorium.
Dawson said the House of Nor
gan was the fisca agent OF Great
Britain, France and Italy in this
country and had handled payments
before. He was unable TO specify
just how long the company had
handled debt payments. but said he
would furnish the committee with
detailed information later, II neces-
sary.
Asked by Chairman Collier as to
the reports that foreign nations
had deposited funds to pay the Dec
ember Is installments, Dawson re-
piled:
The answer Is very simple one
and 1t Is in the negative"
II the payments had been depos-
tied. he would know about 1t. Dav-
ison added.
The moratorium was called IAN
entering wedge TO debt cancella-
tiona" by Rep. Wright Patman,
Dem, Tex, first witness before the
ways and means committee.
Patman asserted that other ma
tionS do not expect TO have 10 pay
their debts TO the United States.
IF France and England thought
they were going TO have to pay
these debts they would buy liberty
bonds now at 88 cents on the dol
lar and use them to pay their
debts" Patman said.
He referred TO a provision in the
debt funding agreement whereby
the debts may be paid in United
States bonds.
After Dawson had told the COM
mittee that foreign nations kept
balances all the time with the Nor
gan Company, Rep. Ranking, Dem.
Miss, questioned him.
IF the British government had
called the Morgan firm and asked
them to make the payment, wouldn't
II have been done?" Rankin asked.
Yes" Dawson replied.
"All that would have been neces-
sary would be for the British gov
ernment to call you up and instruc.
you to pay, wouldn't it?" Rankin
asked.
Assuming they had the money
on deposit Dawson said.
But the financial standing of
the British government is such that
you would have paid it anyhow"
Dawson demurred at this ques-
tion.
Il came prepared to answer one
question" he replied, and 1 think
have answered it fairly categor-
ically. l received the summons on
ly at o'clock last night"

TRANSAMERICA
BATTLE WACED
OVER PROXIES

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. II. U.pl
"A temporary restrainer against
Transamerica Corporation officials
remained in force today by a su-
perior court order which deferred
arguments on a permanent injunc-
ton in the big battle for control
of the huge holding company.
The ruling of Superior Judge C.
j. Goodell, however, was a limited
victory for the group led by a. P.
Giannini, seeking to wreSt control
of Transamerica from Chairman
Elisha Walker and other executives.
The Giannini faction had asked
that both Transamerica and the
Bank of America of California, its
principal subsidiary, be enjoined
from using either personnel or equip
ment to obtain proxies for show
down" at the next annual meet
ing. The judge removed Bank of
America from the order.
The restrainer will remain in eff
feet until next Monday when ar
guments will be heard on a per-
manent injunction. Judge Goodell
indicated in remarks from the bench
that he believed the case should be
taken to federal court, and argu-
ments on such a move also may be
heard.
Eustace Cullnan, appearing for
the Transamerica management. con-
tended in opposing the restrainer
that the Bank of America is a
national bank and as such is be-
yond state court jurisdiction. The
odore Roche, counsel for Associated
Transamerica Stockholders, the Gil
annini group, countered that the
restrainer involved only extra off
cial acts of bank workers and did
not concern their duties as bank
erS.
Roche reached a highlight of the
nearing when he claimed victory
for the Giannini forces in the proxy
battle, asserting his clients have
proxies for 100000 OF the 24.8OO.-
900 outstanding shares. The proy-
les will be counted at the meeting
set for February Is, 1882.
Later President James A. Baci-
galupi of Transamerica issued a
statement that since present execu-
tives appealed recently to stock
holders those representing many
shares have revoked the proxies
previously given to A. P. Giannini
by signing new proxies"
I'VE have no means of knowing
what the opposition have" he said,
but what will count will be the
last proxy signed prior to February
l5."
The courtroom was crowded with
scores OF spectators, many of them
stockholders, and at times they
broke into cheers and applause un-
III Judge Goodell threatened to clear
the room.
