H0ARDED DOLLARS
RESPOND TO CALL
Pouring Into Channels of
Trade, Banks and
Baby Bonds.

An increasing food OF boarded dol
lars is pouring into the channels of
trade, into banks and into baby bonds,
according to reports from various
sources to the local Anti -Hoarding
Committee, Of which Newbold Noyes is
chairman.
From headquarters of the District of
Columbia Bankers Association today
came indications that the public here is
investing good many thousands of
dollars in baby bonds. These indica-
tions are based on reports from the va
rious banking institutions which are
members of the association. These new
baby bonds are 2 per cent one-year Sc
curities, guaranteed at par and accrued
interest, upon go days notice.
Meantime approval Of the anti-hoard-
ing campaign came from many different
sources, including the Merchants and
Manufacturers Association, Central
Labor Union, Washington Chapter
American Institute of Architects; lunch
con clubs and citizens associations.
Banker Issues Statement.
In order to assure "hoarders" that
they will receive a hearty welcome in
the banks, and will be looked upon as
'benefactors" to society when they
bring their dollars out of hiding, c. H
Pope, president of the Bankers Asso-
citation here, issued statement declar-
ing that no Washington resident should
feel at all ashamed to bring his money
to the banks for investment.
1T is the duty of every citizen to
protect his family in the best way he
oan," said Mr.. Pope Those who have
boarded their money had a perfect
right to do so, and there is no reason
in the world why they should feel the
least bit abased when they return 1t to
the banks.
IF these people think that now Is
the time for them to place their money
back in circulation and in that way help
an idle worker get a job, they should
take satisfaction in so doing. They
should not for moment consider such
action as any disgrace. Furthermore,
the bankers to whom they turn over the
money will not consider it so.
THE bankers are only too glad to
serve the public by obtaining all the

The newspaper account sets forth
that RoSner moved into a wing of the
Lindbergh estate near here two days
after the baby was kidnapped, and in
stalled his men, neceSsitating the mov-
ing OF the State troopers to the Lind
bergh garage.
Rosner's connections with the under
world were said to be extensive and
powerful. His value in the search was
expected to be great providing the kid
nap1ng were done by any organized
gang Of criminals, for his contacts
would lead him to them ultimately.

cision today of the House OF Represent
atives Elections Committee in favor Of
Stanley H. Kunz Democrat, and against
Peter c. Granata, Republican, was an
other development in a long standing
feud in the eighth Illinois congressional
district.
This district, lying to the west and
north of Chicagos loop, includes part
of the notorious Bloody Twentieth"
ward and has been a breeding ground
for scandal, sensational accusations
and violent partisanship.
Kunz, who represented the district
during the last session, charged that
Granata beat him out of reelection
through the widespread use Of gunner
and crooked election officials. He said
Granata's brother was a secretary OF
"Scarface AL" Capone, and that the big
gangster sent his hoodlums into the
district on election day. last November,
to steal the election. Kunz instituted
a recount which Granata refused to
recognize.
In February, 1880. Criminal Court
jury acquitted KunZ and his son on
charges of operating a confidence game.
A plumber had charged Kunz with &C
cepting $3.50 on the promise of place
on the police force. Kunz denied max
ing any such promise and said the
money was loan.
