 The day after Bryan Harriss shut cut Kansas City without a hit or a run, Russell Van Alta held the Blues to a single safe blow. It wasn't until two were out in the eighth inning that Pat Collins got hit off Van Alta. Thus the two pitchers collaborat- ed in pitching 16 2-3 hitless in- nings.
 This may have been what in- -spirsd MT Hallowell" of Harvard to do such excellent things the other day on the cinder path. At any rates, our Finnish correspond ent writes:
 MT. Hallowell, the mile master of the American universities who has run the stretch in 4.12, came last summer on tourist trip to Finland. He also attended the
  Finnish championship matches in Helslnki.
 When MT. FIallowell. was asked what he thought of the matches, he answered unhesitatingly that the 5000 metres run would leave him an unforgettable memory. Tn this event no less than 18 tough Finnish runners took part, and all of them ran hard. But far hard CT than any of the others three men ran. Lehtinen, Virtanen and Iso- o-Hollo.
 "Lehtinen's time for the run was 14.36, Iso-Hollo's 14.39 and Virta- nen's 1440. After :le run all three were in perfect condition and ready for another match if necessary. Their splendid physical condition in particular astounded MT Hallo- well.
 "Lehtinen Iso-Hollo and Virt- anen are also the men of whom Finland expects much in the 5000 and 10000 metres events in Los Angeles. They are Nurmi's success sorS, and they are even better than him this year They are still young"

BY the Associated Press.
JOLIET, Ill, May 2.-The kidnapped
22-yeer-old Gustav Miller has not re-
turned home as yet, although $4,000
ransom was reported ready for his
abductors and an intensive private
search was being carried On today by his
wealthy father.
An uncompleted telephone call traced
to the haunts Of the notorious "42"
gang of Chicago turned the search in
that direction yesterday, but nothing
was known of the identity of the caller,
as he hung up before a connection was
made with the home of the father, Max
Miller, wholesale grocer.
The family's attorney, W. D. HeiSe,
planned to leave for New York today,
but declined to divulge the mission IS
purpose Nor would he report on any
success he might have had in hurried
trip to Aurora, III. Friday after the
elder Miller was informed by telephone
where his sons car would be found.
The young man disappeared Thursday
night. His father has refused cooper
alton of the police, but it was reported
he had sought assistance of Chicago's s
famous secret six" The police said
they would not take part in a search
until requested, but declared they have
learned four men in an automobile
bearing Ohio license plates were the
abductors.

CURTIS PLANS NEW CRUISE.
Movements Carefully Guarded, With
Navy Base Closed to visitors.

NORFOLK, Va, May 2 (P)-A weary
negotiator for the return of the Lind
bergh baby allotted himself today brief
rest from one trip before arranging for
another attempt to recover the child.
John Hughes Curtis, one of three
Norfolk intermediates returning last
night from a cruise aboard the yacht
Maroon, announced he planned to leave
again Immediately.
He declined to discuss details Of his
latest trip-the ninth since the nego-
tiationS were started in March.
Just before the return of Curtis
orders were issued at the naval oper-
ating base barring all civilians from
the entire base. Previously since naval
men have been playing a prominent
part in the negotiations of Curtis, civil
ianS were denied entry to the air sta
tion and the submarine base, the latter
the base of operations for the Maroon.
T. P. Tolbert, deputy prohibition ad-
ministrator for the Norfolk district,
said he was convinced that three men
held here as alleged rum runners had
no connection with the kidnapping The
Federal official also discounted the
theory that the men might be connected
with the Purple gang of Detroit.
Police said the three were among the
81 men arrested by Federal authorities
in South Carolina on March is on
charges of liquor law violation. A note
book, which police said belonged to
one of the men, contained the nota-
ticn, 'Linoy, p,m," and a cross mark
opposite the date March l, the night
the Lindbergh baby was stolen. In

particular importance to the item, be-

MOVE FOR DRY LAW
VOTE GAINS GROUND
Minnesota G. O. P. Action
Spurs Drive for Plank in
National Platform.
BY G. GOULD LINCOLN.

Minnesota Republicans in State con-
vention Saturday gave another big boost
TO the drive to have the G. o. P place
in its national platform this year a
plank calling for resubmission of the
eighteenth amendment.
Minnesota now stands side by side
with Missouri in this demand for re-
submission plank. Republicans in both
these States in the past have insisted
upon favoring the dry side of the pro-
hibition controversy. The action of the
Republican State Convention in Mime
sofa does not necessarily commit the
Republicans to the wet cause, it was
pointed out here today. 1t merely
pledges them in favor of placing the
national prohibition issue before the
people again for a vote.
The demand for resubmission of the
eighteenth amendment has been strong
for a long time among Republicans Of
the Eastern States, including New York,
Connecticut, Rhode Island and more
lately Massachusetts, and Pennsylvania.
It appears now that the Republicans in
Western States are rallying to the posi-
ton taken by their Eastern brethren
The Republicans Of Illinois and WiScon-
sin have been favorable to the plan OF
resubmiSSion in the past. But they were
regarded as 'oases" in an arid West.
Minnesota Organization Regular.
In Minnesota the Republican organi-
zation is quite regular as general
proposition. 1t bends its ear toward
Washington and the administration.
The action of the Minnesota State con-
vention might not have been taken, 1t
was said here today, If the administra-
ton had turned thumbs down. Further
more, out in Missouri, when the Re-
publicans In State convention declared
for reference of prohibition back to
the people for a vote, Secretary Ar
thur M Hyde, member Of President
Hoover's cabinet and for many years
accounted strong dry, gave his sane
tion to the plan. Mr.. Hyde, indeed, at
tended the convention.
The demand for reSubmisSion plank
in the Republican party platform started
more than a year ago. Former Senator
James W. Wadsworth Of New York
wrote a letter to Senator Fess Of Ohio,
chairman of the Republican National
Committee, urging that the G. o. p.
stand for resubmission of the eighteenth
amendment. Senator Fess turned his
back on the suggestion. And for months
it did not appear likely that the Re-
publicans in national convention would
go to the length of placing a referen-
dunn or resubmission plank in their plat
form this year. Little by little, how
ever, the sentiment swung toward re-

failure to pay income taxes.
Capone was indicted on June 5, 1881

Limitations Statute Cited.
In his plea for a review Capone ar
gued the indictment against him wa:
defective because it was worded in gen.
eral terms, which did not give hin
sufficient information to prepare his de-
fense.
His lawyers also raised a number oi
other technical points. The Govern.
ment in reply argued that the indict-
ment was good and that the conviction
should stand.

HERR|OT APPEARS
SURE OF VICTORY
IN FRENCH VOTING
Second Election Next Sunday
to Decide Fate of Tardieu
Government.
RADICAL SOCIALIST
/ PARTY GETS SO SEATS
Official Tabulation Shows 248
Deputies Named, Leaving 367
to Be Chosen Next Week.
BY PAUL SCOTT MOWRER.

By Gable to The Star.
PARIS, May 2.-Edouard Herriot and
the old-School Liberals, called in France
Radical Socialists, are apparently the
victors in the French elections. 1t is
necessary to say apparently because un-
der the French electoral system there
are two ballots. On the first only can
didates having an absolute majority win.
On the second for those remaining a
simple majority is sufficient. The sec
ond ballot will be held next Sunday.
Political maneuvers will be rife
throughout this week, but, in view Of
yesterdays vote, Herriot will doubtless
tend to seek the support Of the Social
lists rather than of Premier Andre Tar
dieu and the Center. In this case Left
victory appears certain.
The Tardieu government will prob
ably carry on until the new Chamber
of Deputies conveneS June l, but will
then resign and be succeeded, as far
as can now be seen, by Herriot gov
ernment supported either by Tardieu
and the Right Center or, what is more
likely, by the Socialists.
Heavy Vote Is POlled.
Yesterdays vote was heavy. What it
seems to signify is that the people OF
France do not feel that any grave crisis
is threatening or requiring a strong
hand, and hence they tend to drift back
to their normal Lett Liberal current.
Foreign policy played negligible
role And If HeIrlot comes to power,
French foreign policy will remain. 1t
is insisted, much what it is today, with
only this difference, that Herriot may
be slightly more conciliatory than Tar
dfeu and less inclined to reject rea-
sonable compromise.
Outstanding Leaders Reelected
Nearly all the outstanding French
leaders were reelected and this led
early commentators today to insist that
not much change is in prospect.
More than half of the Deputies re-
main to be elected next Sunday.
Herriot in interviews openly claims
a big success. The Right leader, Louis
Marin, accuses the voters of blind
ness" Tardieu, still kept to his room
by laryngitis thus far has said nothing.

The rate was made 10 cents on mes
sages between SO cents and 81; Is cents

The House provided rates of cents
on messages between 80 and so cents
and 10 cents on all messages over Sc
cents.
An import tax on rubber was seri-
ously considered today by the COM
mittee.
Senator Reed, Republican, of Penn
sylvania. indicated he would move foI
the rubber import duty. Prospect oi
Democratic support was in sight on the
ground the proposal was purely a
revenue raising one rather than a
tariff, since no rubber is grown in this
country.
A duty of 5 cents a pound will net
$50 100000 annually, it was estimated
by Senator Watson, Republican, In
diana.
The Senate Committee cut the rate
on leased wires from 10 per cent tc
5 per cent and all exemptions for
newspapers and radio broadcasting were
removed.

The committee was almost unani
nous in removing the exemptions voted
by the House for newspapers. Senate
Bingham, Republican, of Connection
alone voted against removal Of thr
exemption.
All Leased Wires Affected.
The exact language of the new tele
phone and telegraph provision was no
available Immediately, as the commit
tee continued in work in executive ses
sion. 1t was understood, however, tina
the leased wire rate of per cent woult
apply to all telephone and telegraph
leased wires.
The general 10 per cent admission
tax in the House bill was approved ant
the exemption dropped down to includi
all tickets of As cents and over.
The House had the exemption at 4!
cents and it was contended in the com
mittee that movie theaters would b.
able to avoid the levy by dropping tn
rate to IS cents. So, the exemption wa
dropped penny.
Exempts College Events.
The committee did vote to exemp
admissions to all collegiate and scholas
tic events. An attempt by Senator
Reed to exempt base ball admission
was defeated.
Another boost in the tax on brewers
wort from 10 cents gallon to is cent!
was ordered. The House fixed a rat'
of cents. The levy on malt sirup wa.
cut from 4 cents to cents pound.
The House increase in the stamp tal
on bond issues from cents per $l00 tC
10 cents was approved by the com
mittee.
The controversial stock transfer lew
was reached, but discussion was put
over until later in the day, with NJ
proposal pending.
