ton was voiced by F. G. Await, dep

by Francis Addison, jr, representing

that the credit unions would draw buSi-

READY TO TESTIFY,
HURLEY DECLARES
Denies Refusal to Cooperate
in Consolidation Inquiry
After House TumuIt.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
Under a lashing assault in Congress.
Secretary of War Hurley has denied
any intention of refusing to appear be-
fore a House committee, countering
with an offer to testify and otherwise
cooperate.
The outspoken Secretary, who not so
long ago walked out on a Senate COM
mite because he resented the type Of
questioning he was submitted to,
caused the new furore by his reply to
request for his views on measures
to consolidate all Government construc-
ton under one administrator, part of
the general economy consolidation pro-
gram.
His letter said it was believed un-
necessary to submit any further state
ment on the subject, or "to present
any witnesses to represent the War De-
partment before the committee"
The reaction was immediate and
bitter, climaXing in the remark of
Representative Schafer. Republican,
Wisconsin: ITO hell with him.
Last night Hurley explained he had
intended no refusal and had not in
terpreted the committee letter as a
direct invitation. He pointed out his
own reply did include an expression of
Willingness to send any official whose
presence might be specifically desired.
This, said Hurley, In explanation, was
meant to include himself
However. the committee had decided
to proceed without him, and unless it
changes its mind, will not call upon
him.

long, strong fingers betoken consistent
practice at the keyboard.
Practices Every Day.
When she was asked when she began
to prepare for Saturdays concert, she
said she had been invited to play as
long ago as December, but that she
really had been preparing ever since
she was years old. Seven years, there
fore of application lies behind her pres

Ann is the youngest of the four chill
dren of Isaac and Sophie Sugar. She
has one sister and two brothers. Mr..
Sugar is druggist and the family has
its home in an apartment over his store.

An interstate law to curb kidnapping.

Those who yesterday asked protec-

They included Robert Isham Randolph,

Newton, serving st. Louis in similar
capacity; Walter Weisenburger, presi
dent of the st. Louis Chamber of Com
merce: Police Chief Gerk of st. Louis
and Sergt. Leroy Steffens, Chicagos
crack detective on abduction cases.
Newton said kidnapping, most prof
table and safest racket of all the forms
of crime" had come to a forefront
position in the past six to eight months.
Where victims once were chiefly
gamblers and bookmakers, he said, the
best families are now the goals, with
extortions ranging as high as $125,000

life imprisonment too drastic punish
ment for kidnapping.

make renewed efforts to deal with the
situation, Randolph said that had been
done two years ago when his Secret

further control was necessary.

us, afraid to go to anybody else The
kidnapers were apprehended within

Since then we have had kidnapping

In the first case we spent s12 900

had to stifen up their courage from

"In the last two years the kidnapers
have improved their technique wonder

ALLEGED KIDNAPPING
BRAINS" ARRESTED.
Charles Brown, Taken in New
I York, Declared Head of
Big Ring.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, February 26.- Charles
"Buster" Brown of st. Louis, alleged
''brains" of a nationwide kidnapping and
extortionist syndicate. was arrested
yesterday in New York, according to
word received by Pat Roche, chief in
Vestigator for tho States attorney.
Brown, who is under indictment here
along with Louie Alterie and several
others for the kidnapping of Edward
Dobkin, Chicago commission man. is
suspected of engineering scores of other
terroristic plots that netted the various
allied gangs thousands of dollars. In
an effort to halt depredations of the
syndicate, officials of Missouri and
Illinois today appealed to Federal
authorities in Washington for inter
vention.
Trailed to New York.
The arrest was brought about, Roche
said, through detectives who trailed to
New York a friend of Neil Montague,
another alleged member of the band.
who recently executed daring jail
break here. The man, instead of call
ing on Montague led the police to
Brown, who was preparing to flee to
Europe.
Other alleged members of the gang
under indictment here are John Pin
gera, said by police to be a specialist in
the art of torture; William Thomas,
Ward Swallwell, former assistant
States attorney of Cook County (Chi-
cago), and Edward Ffnnen.
Among the kidnapings credited to
the gang by police are the following:
James Hackett, Blue Island, Ill,
sportsman, who reputedly paid $780,
600 ransom; Leo Williams, Mundelein.
, Ill, tortured, but amount of ransom
unknown to police; Leo Cans, Chicago
druggist, tortured and paid 5000;
James Fuzzy Pearce, Rockford, Ill,
gambler, ransom unknown; John
Lynch. wealthy turfman, $75,000 Dob
kin, $4,000; DR.. and Mrs. Max Gecht,
Chicago, $4,000; Frank Blumer, Mon
roe, Wis, brewer, ransom unknown;
Frank Richey, Evanston, and numer-
Gus others whose names are being
withheld.
Roche said he is holding in readiness
several witnesses who are determined to
testify despite fear of revenge by asso-
ciates Of the gangsters.
Tells of kidnapping Methods.
Alexander Jamie. operating head of
the Secret Six, whose organization is
attempting to wipe out the extortion-
lists, recently described the work of the
syndicate.
The leaders, Jamie said. select a
likely prospect in any one of numerous
cities in which they have affiliated Or
carnations and pass the word along
to abduct the chosen victim. If all
goes we'll and pursuit does not draw
close, he said, the man may never be
moved far from his home. But if local
ofticials appear to be closing in, the
kidnapers whisk their victim away,
preferably into another State and give
him into the keeping of an affiliated
gang. In this way they elude both
their pursuers and rid themselves OF
the victim.
