NJ CARL BLOCKS
$4,000 Item

Unless President Hoover author
ICES a change, the new Postoffice
Department Building will have
steel window frames, as originally
planned, instead of bronze ones
now being sought, Comptroller
General j. R. McCarl ruled today.
The original contract, let May
%, 1881, contained an alternative
stipulation that the bronze win
dows might be substituted later
if desired. The contract winner.
McCloskey and Company, would
charge $43,500 difference if bronze
were used.
Ferry K. Heath, Assistant Sec
retary of the Treasury in charge
of the building program, decided
on July IL this year to make the
change at the increased cost. To.
day, the Comptroller General for
bade this. He cited that the
economy act prohibits any in
creases in cost over the original
designs, and that since the
change was not made until after
June 80 it cannot be effected
now.
The building is we'll under con.
struction at Pennsylvania Av-
enue and Twelfth Street North
west.

ANCIENT PISTOL
FOR MUSEUM

The antique muzzle-loading pis-
tol found below the tide water
line at AnacoStia flats by Park
Policeman R. F. Selby last Sat
urday was today turned over to
the Smithsonian Institution for
appraisal.
Puzzled as to proper disposal
of the antique weapon and loath
to include it with confiscated
firearms that must be destroyed
by law, Capt. Doyle o. Hickey,
superintendent of Park Police,
has decided to give it to the Ma
tional Museum in the event they
find it of sufficient historic
value.
The weapon was in excellent
condition, its heavy bell-mouthed
brass barrel scarcely diScolored
from immersion. Even the wooden
handle was we'll preserved.

HOOVER FIGHTS
FOR MIDWEST
(Continued from Page ~

precate the accuracy of these
polls, the fact remains they have
proved pretty reliable in past elec-
tions.
President Hoover returned from
his trip to Cleveland somewhat
heartened by his reception there
and on the journey. The crowds
that greeted him along the way
at dozen stops in West Virginia,
Maryland, Pennsylvania and Ohio
were rye. And if not wildly
enthusiastic, they were cordial
and respectful.
In a Militant Mood
That Mr.. Hoover is in a mill
tant mood can no longer be
doubted. There were portions of
his Cleveland speech Saturday
night that disclosed deep bitter
ness, particularly that part where
in he characterized as contempt
ible lies" the charges that he
had been an employer of Cheap
Chinese coolie labor" in his South
African mining ventures.
1t W.. the first time Mr..
Hoover has ever taken any cog
nizance, publicity at least, of the
charges made in numerous books,
anonymous and otherwise, which
have sought to portray his busi-
ness career between 1895 and 1915.
Republican strategy for the
balance of the campaign calls
for repeated emphasis on the
theme that the Democrats are
"unsound" on such important
matters as tariff, taxation, and
fiscal operation of the Govern
ment generally.

MILLS RETURNS
To G|vEEYE To
TREASURY
Government Finance Problems
Call Secretary Back From
Campaign Trip

Secretary of the Treasury
Mills was due back at his desk
today after a campaign tour
that took him to the Pacific
Coast on behalf of the candi-
dacy of President Hoover.
Mills is the headliner of the
Republican attack in this cam
paign. Before getting back to
Washington he registered in New
York City and discussed plans
for a number of other political
speeches before the campaign
concludes.
U. S. Business Calls
At the Treasury Mills faced a
number of important problems of
Government finance. The annual
report to Congress now is being
prepared by Treasury experts and
must have the approval of Mills.
Experts also were studying the
productivity of the new taxes
written into the Revenue Act
Of 1882, while revised estimates
were being prepared for the in
creased rates of the individual
and corporation income taxes.
The new tax bill was designed
to produce additional revenue of
$1,118,500,000 but probably will
fall considerably below that fig
ure.
Income Yield Shy
The increased income tax rates
were expected to add $219,O0O,-
600 to revenue, which would
bring the total collection for the
1888 fiscal year to $1,276,33 900
on the basis of 1882 receipts.
However, there will be a drop
from the estimates and income
taxes may not yield much over
81 900, 100000, or about the same
as last year.
Mills must decide whether new
sources of income should be rec
commended to Congress. The i'm
preston existed that the budget
cannot be balanced on the pres
ent tax rates and without further
economy measures.

POWER BOARD
SCORESPO|N
IN COURT
Commission Is Sustained in
Right to Determine "Legiti-'
mate Investments"

The Federal Power Commits
sion scored a victory in the Su-
preme Court today when the
court declined to review lower
court decisions upholding the
commissions right to deter
mine Legitimate investments"
in hydro-electric projects.
The courts order, in effect,
sustains the commission in the
first big assault upon its author
ity under the Federal water
power act.
The review wa sought by the
Clairon River Power Co., of
Johnstown, Pa, a licensee under
the water power act.
The commission fixed the
Legitimate investment" of the
company at about $4,645 900,
while the company claimed it was
Ill, 100000.
The issue is important not only
if Congress gives the commission
authority to fix interstate rates,
but becase under the present
act the Government can take
over water projects in so years,
in some instances in less time.
Thus, if the commission has
fixed the Legitimate investment"
far below the company's figure,
it would become an important
factor in the fixing of a purchase
price by the Federal courts.

rs Kidnapped in Boston

sought.
rs Kidnapped in Boston
During the past two years,
police say, at least IS persons
have been kidnapped in Boston
alone. Many of these have paid
heavy ranSoms for their release,
they said. Among the victims
was Wellknown professional
sportsman, who was forced to
pay $4,000 for his release fol,
lowing his kidnapping a year ago.
Police say the same gang car
ried out a dozen kidnapings in
Providence, R. l., Hartford, Conn,
Worcester, New York, and New
Jersey.
Rutstein, who is married and
father of a baby girl, was rescued
in the nick of time, police said,
as he had been forced to write a
letter to his brother, Samuel Rut-
stein, of Newton, requesting the
ransom. Authorities believe that
he would have met death had he
not been rescued.
Captive Draw Gun
The letter demands to the vic
TINS brothe were followed by
numerous telephone calls from
public telephone stations, first de-
manding $4,000 and later drop
ping the request to $4,000. Sam
uel communicated with police.
Gould, according to his cap
tors, attempted to shoot at Pa
trolman Charles L. Manley, but
dropped his pistol when he was
covered by other policemen.
Rutstein, who told police he is
a salesman for a theatrical con-
Germ, stated he offered his kid
napers $1400, "all I had in the
world" but they insisted on their
demands for $4,000, and beat
him when he said he could not
raise that amount.
Rutstein was kidnapped from the
rear of his home Tuesday night.
He had left his car to open his
garage door when six men leaped
from the dark and bundled him
into another automobile waiting
in a vacant lot nearby.
Anchored to Cot
The men, he told police, treated
him roughly, cutting his mouth
as they put adhesive tape across
his lips. and banging his face as
they forced on the goggles, cov-
cred with fur inside to block his
vision.
When they reached the cottage
the men placed a cloth over the
goggles and tied RutStein to the
cot, binding his hands and feet
to the cot-poSts. He said he had
had very little to eat since his
abduction.
The men, he said, consulted
him frequently, wearing black
hoods when they took off his
blindfold. Several hoods together
with five pistols were found in
the ottage,
