Morgan's Historic Raid
Placed Under Analysis

The public opening at Lexington,

and the controversies that ragged about
him and his comparatively small band
Of followers In the dark days OF the
Civil war.
"Morgan's Raid" as the event has
gone down Into history, was chal-
lenge 10 odds as great as any man
faced in that l0ng-drawn.out conflict,
when the Kentucky general, at the
head Of not more than 1900 men,
crossed the Ohio river into states vlr-

following the various airmal routes which now
spread out like giant spider web from coast
to coast. The Postmaster General takes his
flying quite as everyday affair.
Secretary of State Stimson, it is safe to say,
is the first Secretary of State to make a prac-
tice of air travel. He has made numerous trips
to New York and other points, and recently he
whirled away in an airplane on the first lap
of his portentous trip to Europe to play his
important role in the debt Moratorium parley.
A TTORNEY GENERAL WILLIAM MITCH
n ELL despite conservative background
and typicaly legal turn Of mind, has vivid
imagination that roams the azure of trails, and
whenever opportunity affords he hiHelf fol-
lows it between the wings of a pla.4c, ami
hilatng distance he scars hundreds of miles
through the blue. He takes spin down to
Florida to how things are getting along
quite as readily as he would hop bus
train for neighboring town-and he leaves in
such hurry sometimes that he forgetS to
mention where he's going; not that it matters,
for he'll be back before his secretary could in
form the ever-wating press Of the details OF
the trip.
Up Commerce way Secretary Lamont has
only one grievance: his job keeps him close
at home that he rarely has the time or place
to fly to- He likes air travel. however, and is
distinctly enthusiastic on the subject in gen.
eral Recently he took trip in an autogiro
and is taking ABOUT IL YET. OPoil IIle rare OS-
casions when he is called out of town he uses
any plane that comes handy.
Secretary Hyde of Agriculture also has been
I'D occasionally, but does not make practice
of flying, chiefly because like Mr.. Lamont, his
Job keeps him at home. Secretaries Mellon,
Wilbur and Doak remain, far as is known,
the three non-fyers in the cabinet group Mr..
Mellon, it seems. has never been in the air
either here or abroad, and Mr.. Doak doesn't
travel by air because he's an old railroad man
who would no more think of deserving the rails
for any other mode of travel than he ,w'rd
consider abandoning an old friend.

IF THE President should call for his cabinet
! Unexpectedly scme day and be told that
they "all up in the air." he wouldn't get
all hot and bothered himself thinking that they
were upset some affair OF state. NO, ne
probably would go out and scan the horizon.
or compose himself to wait few moments
until whir of wings should announce their
return.
Dashing Patrick Hurley. whose youthful face
and figure almost belle the dignity OF his i'm
posing title, heads the cabinet list Of high n.y.
ers, with a license Of his own and, 1t Is SAID
more hours in the air to his credit than any
other member of this select group which gath
around the cabinet board.
The Secretary of War flies often and he flies
high He likes the rarefied atmosphere of the
upper reaches Not so long ago he flew his ship
at an altitude of something over $4,000 1eet
with a taiwind Of go miles making things in
teresting for him. He has plane assigned 10
him. distinguished from other planes OF the
Army Air Corps only by the addition OF four
small stars around the emblem on the wings
and fuSelage.
Charles Francis Adams Secretary OF the
Navy is another of the cabinet group VINO
knows the feel of the controls in his own hands.
Although he is among the older members OF
the cabinet he is of the most enthusiastic
aviators. He is one of the very few men who
can boast the thrill Of plotting the giant Los
Angeles, the Nays second largest dirigible,
thrill which he likens to that OF sailing his
yacht, the favorite sport of his leisure hours,
if any. Secretary Adams is most colorful fig
ure in Washington oficialdom, a vigorous,
enthusiastic sportsman who hasn't allowed his
years to affect his youth nor white hairs TO
drive him from any of the fields Of his hobbies,
even the tennis courts, where he can be seen
often late of Saturday afternoon battling for
points with Director General Rowe of the Pan
American Union, or Huston Thompson another
of his cronies.
Postmaster General Brown may not take the
controls himself but his travelling experience
in the air rivals that of the War Secretary. He
has pretty we'll covered the country by plane,

In the so-caled little cabinet" group, COM
posed of undersecretaries and assistant secre-
taries there is much air enthusiasm and quite
little expert flying talent. For instance, there
is Col. Clarence M. Young, Assistant Secretary
of Commerce for Aeronautics an expert pilot
with romantic war record, who not only puotS
his own planes but holds the No transport
pilot license on the United States list The only
man ahead of him is former Assistant Secre-
tary MacCracken, whose license is No. l. Col.
Young, during the war, was shot down behind
the lines on the Italian front, captured BY the
enemy and left languishing in an Austrian
prison camp for five months. Then the Austrian
government collapsed and in the general con-
fusion he made his escape, hiding away for
90 hours in box car without food or water In
order to gain entrance once more into Italy
Just in time to celebrate the signing OF the
armiStce.
Col, Young has had hand in the develop
ment of the aeronautics branch from its in
fancy having served in the capacity of chief
of regulations at the time OF its organization
in 1926. He is the second man to hold the
post Of Assistant Secretary of Commerce tor
AeronauticS.
nAvID INGALLS,, Assistant Secretary Of the
- Navy for Aeronautics, is another crack
pilot with an enviable war record. Mr.. ingalls,
at the age of Is went to Europe with the Yale
unit and entered the British Flying Corps. He
saw plenty of action and has several German
planes and a balloon to his credit. AT the close
of the war he returned to Yale, completed his
course there and then was graduated from the
Harvard Law School, subsequently serving In
the Ohio State Legislature. While member OF
that body he formulated the Ohio air laws ac-
knowledged as the first carefully thought-oue
air code in the United States and used as
basis for the national air laws later evolved by
the Department of Commerce.

KIDNAPPED BREWER
TRAIL LACKS CLUES
Two States Probe Case.
Note From Chicago Cuts
Ransom to 100000.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press
MONROE. Wis, April 1i.-without
tangible clues 10 the identity Of the
kidnapers Of Fred Blumer, so, Wis
consin brewer, authorities Of two States
continued their investigation tonight
while ransom demands for the brewer
we're reduced to 100000.
r. c. Wells, secretary Of the brew
ing company which Blumer heads, said
he received letter today, mailed from
Chicago. 1nstructing him to take $780,
600 to downtown corner in Chicago
Tuesday. Previous demands for ran
som, made in telephone call to Wells,
asked for S150,000.
Sheriff Myron West said he believed
the letter, pencilled on the back Of a
bank deposit slip and signed ''unem-
ployed guys" was q hoax. Wells, how
ever, is certain the misSive came from
the ktdnapers, who, he said. told him
in the telephone call Thursday that
he would receive a message from them
within 48 hours.
Last Seen Thursday.
Blumer was last seen Thursday night
when he left home in response to q
telephone call. He apparently was
seized soon after he had left the house
Sheriff West said he expected "im-
portant developments" tonight. He re-
fused to elaborate on this statement,
but added that If the kidnapers think
any of the Blumer family Is going to
walk down a Chicago street, even In
daylight, with 100000, they're crazy"
Motive Unknown.
Motives for the kidnapping, other than
the ransom angle, have not been estab-
lished. Brewing company officials said
their concern manufactured only near
beer and they could see no reason
why that product should cause trouble
Rumors had been circulated that the
case resulted from ennity of gangs.ers
who believed the brewer was attempt
ing to muscle in" on Illinois beer ter
ritory.
Members of the Blumer family said
they were taking no action toward
meeting the ransom demands and
would let the authorities hendle the
matter. They said previously that they
could not raise the amount demanded.
as Blumer was not rich man, own
ing less than 10 per cent Of stock in
the brewing company which he heads.
