BE PAID FOR YOUTH
Note Found Under Rock
Says Heir to Millions
Still Is Alive.
By United Press

By United Press
ST. PAUL, July "A note found
under white rock at a crossroads
near the outskirts of Minneapolis,
today gave assurance that Haskell
Bohn, 2o-year-old son of Gerhard
Bohn. wealthy refrigerator manu-
facturer, still is alive.
The elder Bohn, who was defiant
when he first learned that his son
had been abducted Thursday from
the family garage, drove to the rem
devious Friday night, following in
structions in telephone message
from the kidnapers. A group Of de-
tectives accompanied the grief
stricken father.
Telephone contact with the alb
ductorS was established by Haskell's
uncle, w. B. Bohn. He offered S., 900
for the boys return. He said the
offer apparently was satisfactory to
the Hdnapers.
Intent Only on Safety
1--WE are intent only on the safety
OF Haskell. We agree to turn over
the money as soon as we receive
further instruction. We have the
assurance of police that they will
leave all avenues open for the safe
return of the boy" the uncle said.
The men had threatened his
nephew with the same fate as the
Lindbergh baby.
The original ransom demand was
for $4,000. 1t was asked in a note
tossed to the Bohn chauffeur as the
two men, armed with pistols, con-

AS handwriting experts checked
the notes for clews, police squad
cars were searching for a possible
rural hide-out around the Twin
Cities or across the ST. Croix river
in Wisconsin.
Protection First Concern
Protection of the youth is the
first concern of our department"
Police Chief Thomas Dahill, st.
Paul, said. Detectives were reported
to have rounded up twenty under
world characters for questioning.

Before Congress After
Weekend Rest.
By Unitcd Press

By Dnitcd Press
WASHINGTON, July 2.-The
s2,100, 100000 relief bill for reliev-
ing restitution, creating employ
ment, and aiding business, was in
final form today. II was revised
by house and senate conferees in
a manner calculated to win quick
adoption by both houses, and
they hoped-President Hoovers
approval.
Congress, however, dedicated the
Fourth of July weekend to golf
and rest. Both houses recessed
Friday until Tuesday. The relief
measure will be laid before them
Tuesday when they go back to
work in final drive for adjourn
ment.
The conferees reached an agree
ment after almost week of work.
Their final decision was to broaden
provisions enabling cities, corpora
tons and individuals to borrow
from the Reconstruction Finance
Corporation. The measure provides
these funds:
$100,000,000 at the disposal of the
President for relief emergencies.
5000, 100000 to be loaned to the
states, in proportion to their popu-
lations, for relief work.
S30O00O,000 for federal public
works.
81 ,5OO,O0O,O0O to be loaned pri-
marily for revenue producing con-
struction projects.
All these items, except the federal
public works, would be financed
through the Reconstruction Finance
Corporation. It's borrowing and
lending power would be increased
from $1,8O0,00O0OO to a total of

Remember Indy notified the
authorities and you know what hap
pened. We will not sign this note
as there will be no necessity for
any reply if you follow our instruc-

The note printed in pencil and
obviously phrased by an educated
person, ordered the Bohn family ito

car with license No. 54-480 ready
and when you receive our message
tonight, go along with the money

also requested that their letters be

money.

CEN. MA KILLED,
JAPANESE AFFIRM
Chinese Leader Was Chief
Foe of Toxic Policy in
ManChuria.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
HARDIN, Manchuria, July 81 (Sun-
day. The Rengo (Japanese) News
Agency today said japanese headquar-
ters here had announced conclusive
proof that the famous Chinese general,
Ma Chan-Shan, had been killed north
east of Hailun.
The announcement by japanese head
quarters said that Gen. Ma Chan-Shan
was killed in a battle between remnants
of his army and a japanese contingent
under Col. Tanaka in the Little Khin-
gan Mountains near the Siberian bor-
der Ma Chan-Shan's forces, hemmed
in against the mountains, fought des-
perately but were crushed by the
Japanese.
Gen. Ma Chan-Shan came into in
ternational prominence just a little
short of a year ago when the japanese
first entered Manchuria because of a
raio on the Japanese section of the
South Manchuria Railway.
Early in September the japanese sud-
denly seized Mukden and then pro-
ceeded to advance Northward They
found themselves opposed by Gen. Ma
who had long dominated the Nothern
Manchurian province, Heilungkiang.
Gen. Ma used his knowledge of the
country and the fact that he lightly
armed against tie heavy japanese
equipment to great advantage He
shifted his forces rapidly and by sur
prise attacks greatly impeded the
Northward march of the japanese
toward Tsitsihar, strategic railway Gen.
ter Then came the battle of Nonni
River.
BY his stubborn resistance Gen. Ma
suddenly became the hero of China,
being dubbed everywhere the hero of
Nonni River Bridge. Subsequently he
was forced northWard, and the Japa-
nese military forces occupied all the
strategic points of Manchuria
Early this year when the japanese
sponsored government of Manchu-K -Kuo
was born under Henry Pu-Yi, former
boy Emperor of China, Gen. Ma was
invited to become governor of Heilung-
k1ang Province. He accepted and was
duly installed at Changchun.
But suddenly Gen. Ma disappeared
and the last officially heard from him
was that his headquarters were across
the river from Blagoveschensk, Rus
sia, and that he was operating against
Japanese again.
The japanese have several times re-
ported him dead at the hands of dis
gruntled subordinates. but none of these
reports had been confirmed.

BALTIMORE, July 3o.-Gov. Ritchie,
who last month was candidate for

for the sudden and drastic" action
taken at Washington Thursday to force
members of the Bonus Expeditionary
Force from the Capital.
so far as the circumstances dis
closed to the public are concerned" he
said in a formal statement, Il cannot
see why this sudden and drastic action
on the part of the Federal Government
was necessary.
1T is, to say the least, not edifying
to see arms and tanks and sabers and
tear bombs used in this way and men
driven into the night at the point OF
the bayonet.
ITO an uninformed and unwarned
public, the whole thing came as
shock. Yesterday more than 5000 OF
these men came into Maryland.
Il was urged to call out several COM
panieS of the National Guard, but re-
fused. believed the situation could
be handled without the militia, and
that proved to be the case"
Throughout the day struggling groups
of fleeing veterans continued to filter
through Maryland, most of them on
their way to Johnstown, Pa. A newly
recruited unit from New York City
reached Baltimore today and turned
toward Johnstown instead OF its in
tended destination in Washington.

New accounts Of large-scale prepara-

the people of Vladivostok against an

brought here by travellers coming from

Residents of the city, according to

and are receiving instructions in the
use Of gas masks and in rifle fire.
Troops Arrive Daily.
Troops, transported in closed cars and
diSembarked at night, arrive daily, it is
said. Observers told of seeing 10 ar

yards, as well as so tanks, 60 airplanes
and numerous artillery units.
Meanwhile Russian business houses in

are going back home, apparently in the

The most competent Soviet engineers
and technicianS have been withdrawn
from the Chinese Eastern Railways,
Jointly owned by Russia and China,
and the Moscow authorities have re-

most of the roads best rolling stock.
Abandonment Is Seen.
These moves have led to the belief
that Russia is getting ready to aban-
don the road which is operated at a
great loss. The 4oo-n1ile stretch from
Harbin to V1adivostok already is out of

The staff Of the Soviet bank here has

BITTER TENNESSEE
CAMPAIGN NEAR END
Biennial Gubernatorial Fight Of
Democrats Marked by
Fraud Charges.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NASHVILLE, Tenn, July 30.-Packed
with personalities, charges and denials
Of fraud and general bitterness so in
tense it famed into open fist fighting
on one occasion, Tennessee's biennial
campaign for the Democratic nomina-
ton for Governor approached a close
tonight.
The voters will choose Thursday from
among Hill McAliSter Of Nashville, five
times State treasurer and twice candi-
date for the gubernatorial nomination:
Circuit Judge Malcolm R. Patterson Of
Memphis who was Governor from
1907-11; Lewis s. Pope of Nashville,
commissioner of institutions under five
governors and an aspirant for the gov
ernorship in the 1928 primary, and
Rufus Campbell, 29-year-old Circuit
Court clerk of Lauderdale County. All
are lawyers.
Into the seething whirlpool of cam
paign rancor have been hurled charges
that the Shelby County CMemphis)
organization, headed by Representative
Edward H. Crump, has traded Govern
ment charity -four for votes. Crump's
vigorous denials and repeated demands
for an apology from Senator Borah CT
Idaho, who made public the allegations,
were followed by Crump's offer Of
$4,000 to charity If an invited investi-
cation showed any profit whatsoever.
The Crump faction is backing the
candidacy of McAlister, who has ac-
cused the State administration of Gov.
Henry H. Horton of seeking to use
$11 SOC, 900 of Federal unemployment
relief funds in support of Patterson.
The Republicans, too, will choose
their gubernatorial nominee Thursday.
The candidates are Hal H. Clements of
Knoxville, a former State Senator and
now United States collector of internal
revenue here, and John z. Mccall of
Memphis, past commander of
the Tennessee Department, American
Legion. Both are attorneys.

COUNSEL RETAINED
TO AID VETERANS
Motions for New Trials Due
on Behalf of Men
Sentenced.

A movement to assist members of the
Bonus EXpediticnary Forces arrested in
connection with Thursdays rioting, was
begun yesterday by the American Civil
Liberties Union with the announcement
that Jesse C. Duke, Washington lawyer,
has been retained to represent the men.
AS none of the men already sentenced
by Police Court Judges Gus A Schuldt
and Isaac r. Hit was represented by
attorney, 1t is planned to make motions
fer new trials Immediately. Included
among these are Pomeroy Gravely, COL
ored, and Harold Erwin, now serving
sentences of six months each imposed
on them by Judge Hit for Illegally
occupying" their billets at 334 Pennsyl-
vania avenue, after Treasury Depart
ment official had ordered them eff.
Ralph E. McCabe, leader Of the Ohio
delegation of bonus marchers, who was
jailed with Erwin and Gravely, was re-
leased yesterday when Judge Hit sus-
pended his sentence to allow him TO es-
cort his wife and children home.
Face Various Charges.
The list of those in jail includes also
a half dozen veterans said by police to
have taken part in the brick throwing
who were sentenced to SIS fine or 80
days; Is veterans who received similar
sentences for drunkenness, and three
alleged leaders Of the rioting who face
charges of assault with a deadly weapon
They are Bernard Mccoy, Broaddu:
Faulkner and John Olson, accused with
striking police with bricks and clubs.
The counsel for the liberties group
believes that this last group Of vet
erans are entitled to a preliminary
hearing before their case is presented
secretly to the grand jury. The United
States attorneys office announced they
would seek indictment of the men be-
fore the scheduled hearing.
MI. Duke was informed that the full
facilities Of the constitutional rights
organization would be given him, in
of Clarence Darrow, Dudley Field Ma
lone and other famous lawyers, who
took part in the Scopes trial and the
Kentucky mine cases.
Hoover Act Criticised.
At the same time, John Hayes
Holme5 and Roger Baldwin, national
officers of the association, wired Presi-
dent Hoover regarding his action in
calling troops to drive out the bonus
army, as follows:
American Civil Liberties Union EN-
phatically protests your action in call
ing out Army to disperse starving vet
Grams petitioning Government for re-
lief. Both original order to police by
Commissioners and their appeal for
troops were unwarran.ed as evidenced
by opposition of Gen. Glassford, who
long handled situation skillfully.
Your action will encourage similar
violence by local officials against unem-
ployed and hence will increase spirit
Of resentment throughout country,
arousing the very forces you seek to
suppress. Unrestricted right to assem-
be, organize and demonstrate by un-
employed millions is only road to peace
full solution. Force is road to revolt"
