the plot. They also revealed that
the original plan of the kidnapers
was to abduct Paul F. Donnelly,
husband of Mrs. Donnelly, but his
illness caused a sudden shift in
plans.
Authorities learned that De Pew
left Kansas City with his wife soon
after Mrs. Donnelly was returned
home unframed, without payment
Of the $4,000 ransom demanded.
1t was believed that Scheidt
caused the release OF Mrs. DON
nelly when he became nervous after
publicity was given to the adbuc-
ton and demanded that the kid
napers take their captive somewhere
else.
Scheidt told authorities that De
Pew himself came to the farmhouse
to release Mrs. Donnelly.

PRESIDENT FIRM
IN SUPPORT OF
COLD STANDARD
Capitol SCOTS at RumorS
U. S. Will Change Basis
of Currency.
BY RAYMOND CLAPPER
United Press stan Correspondent

WASHINGTON, Dec. 22.-It car
be written down in the book tina
President Hoover will stand to thu
end behind the gold standard.
No credence is given here to re,
ports circulating in many foreign
countries that the United States il
about to follow England and Japar
and desert gold as the foundation
of its currency. Officials refuse x
dignity such reports with officia
denials. They are classed here a.
foreign propaganda
Despite this stand however, pres
sure is growing for diluting the
currency system, for shifting to BIZ
metalism, or in some way bring.
ing silver into the currency founda-
ton. There is no indication it will
meet with any success, but it is
gaining strength.
The pressure comes from victims
Of foreign trade competition. Some
senator's and congressman are hear
ing from their constituents.
Swedish Gain Cited
Senator Dill Dem, Wash) for
instance, offered in the senate a let
ter which asserted that Sweden
since going off gold last September,
has been able to cut wood pulp
from $44 ton down to $32.
Swedish exchange is off 81 per
cent. That is, she can sell an order
Of goods in America for 500 and
get exactly the same amount of
Swedish currency for it as she
would have received by selling the
lot for 500 before going off the gold
standard.
Great Britains pound has de-
clined from about $4.85 down to
$3.39-and that difference can be
sliced off the price of articles ex-
ported to America and the British
seller still will receive the same
amount Of British money for his
sale.
Canada's exchange though tech
nically still on a gold basis, is off
about 10 per cent. The same is
true of numerous countries which
have gone of the god standrd.
Tariff Revision Likely
In all, twenty-three have done
this. In each case they are able to
send goods into the United States
more cheaply, in terms of gold dol
lars, than before. Their whole scale
of values has changed with refer
ence to Americas scale.
Efforts to meet this by raising
the tariff through the flexible pro-
vision are beginning. The senate
has ordered the tariff commission
to investigate the effect of the
Canadian exchange situation on
imports of wood pulp.
Sentiment among many Republic
ans is for tariff action on i'm
ported articles causing the most
trouble The other method sug-
gested is to adjust the American
currency.
Dill is one of its advocates. He
says tariff relief would be only
temporary and would be nullif1ed by
subsequent imitation abroad.

HeifitZ, who will be heard here
in concert with the Philadelphia

February II at Constitution Hall,
owns a celebrated violin, known
to connoisseurs and collectors the
world over. It is Guarnerlus,
valued at a fabulous price.
It formerly belonged to Viii

who toured America fifty years
ago. Previously it was the prop
erty of Ferninando David, a fam
Gus violinist of a hundred years
ago and the teacher of WilhelmJ,
to whom David gave it in his old
aeg. 1t is known as the David
Guarnerius" and is listed in all
catalogues of old instruments.
In spite of its great value, it
would be worth little to anyone
who attempted to steal it because
it would be almost impossible to
dispose of. First of all, the news
. of its loss would be flashed around
the world within a few hours.
Every dealer and collector is ac-
quainted with it and would recog-
nize it almost instantly should
it be offered to them for sale.
Consequently they would be suSpi-

AFRICA GIVES
SOCIETY GIRL
A CHANCE
By HARRISON CARROLL


HOLLYWOOD, Feb. 17.-Africa
has not only furnished back
grounds for several pictures but
has served as the starting point
for two girls who might never
have received a second glance in
a crowded casting office.
First was Edwina Booth, who
as an unknown -as taken into
its jungles with the Trader
Horn" company where her act
ing ability was discovered.
And now Ruth Weston, late
of New York'S society, and now
a contract player to R-K-O. She
has been given her first picture
assignment, the ingenue lead in
Nine. Julie" and films made in
far off Africa gave her the op-
portunity.
Some time ago Miss Weston
and her father, William Shil-
laber, former part-owner Of a
New York newspaper, trekked
through the jungleS. Included in
their equipment was a small
movie era which recorded
their experiences.
Meeting the Ira der Horn"
company at Nairobi they had
their film developed. After see
ing the print members of the
troupe declared that Miss Wes-
ton had screen ability. Upon
her return to New York she ran
the film for R-K-O officials,
which led to a contract.
Featured in Mime. Julie" are

Girls ReformS School, Is A Model Institution

PEAK, Va.-Twenty-six miles from
Richmond. on the route from the
north to the south, is the Virginia
Industrial School for Girls, under the
supervision of Mrs. jamie Porter Bar
rett. president of the State Fedora
ton of Women's Clubs. which was
responsible for the founding of the
school in 1915.
At the time of its establishment
the institution was supported entirely
from funds gotten from the fedora
ton, periodically aided by the supple
mentary sums of the state of Vir-
ginia. It was established to meet a
messing need in Virginia. that of a
real corrective institution for colored
GIRLS who were considered delin-
ouents. Yet, its atmosphere today is
not that of reform school. but
rather that of resort. camp or school
where girls are passing the summer
months.
The homelike cor ditions make this
school place where the rightly of
discipline scarcely ever is necessary.
Honor system
In 1925 the state of Virginia as
sumed complete responsibility for the
operation of the school and has been
| instrumental in placing several new
buildings on the grounds and needed
additions to the camp equipment of
every phase of activity at the school.
Mrs. Kate V. Scott, formerly of Men,
phis, Tenn, is the matron at The Vir-
ginia Cottage. where newcor'erS are
placed on arrival, where there also il
an honor cottage, Federation Cot
! tage, where the girls go when they
have gained sufficient credits to
place them on the honor list. This is
a frequent happening, since the girls
seem to put forth their best efforts
to make the coveted honor list.
Six Grimes Head
There is a different atmosphere
around the school than that which
one would expect at a reformatory.
The girls seems 70 feel that the school
is home, and treat it as such. II is
rather interesting 10 note the differ
ent causes of 'crime" which has
brought the girls there as well as the
different types of girls found there.
The most common cause is that in
volving sex relationships, and men
are given the blame for the presence
