CHICAGO, April 11-Object Of a
wide police hunt for two days, DR.. A.
E, Budde, prominent North Shore
physician, was safely home today and
told authorities he had been kidnapped
by five alleged gangsters who appar-
emily believed him to be a bootlegger
marked for assassination.
DR.. Budde came back home last
night unannounced after having been
missing since early Saturday morning,
when he left his home in North CHI
cago to attend four persons injured
in an automobile accident. A tele-
phone call summoned him there.
After treating the injured, he told
the police. he was returning home when
a large sedan forced his car to the
curb and five armed men compelled
HIM to accompany them to what he
believed was the suburban village of
Cicero, on the western fringe of Chi
cago.
There, he said his abductors removed
bandage from his eyes and exclaimed: :
You're not the man We wanted. We
were laying for a bootlegger." They
kept him in liquor warehouse, he said,
and set him free.
Dr. Budde furnished the police with
descriptions Of the men and a search
was instituted today

ASSA|L BONUS BILL
Attacks Are Made at House
Hearing Immediately After
Presentation.
BY the Associated Press.


In the face of a drive before the
House Ways and Means Committee for
full payment of the bonus, House and
Senate Democratic leaders joined today
in assailing the legislation.
Hardly had the plan to initiate the
currency by issuance of two billion dol
lars of United States notes to pay the
bonus been put before the committee

the Democratic leader, issued a state

Robinson Issues Statement.
A little later Senator Robinson of
Arkansas issued a similar statement in
opposition.
The proposal was put before the Ways
and Means Committee by its sponsor,
Representative Patman Democrat,
Texas, and drew the support of Robert
L. owen, former Senator from Okla

rency put into circulation would help to

STOCKS IN DECLINE

Advances Scored in Upturn on
Saturday Are Wiped

NEW YORK, April 1.-THE stubborn
decline in the stock market was resumed
today. more than erasing the temporary
upturn on Saturday.
BY early afternoon there we're numer-
Gus losses of 81 to SIS a share in the
principal issues. many of which broke
to new lows for the 1929-32 decline.
Brokers said that short selling was
virtually at standstill, coincident with
the start of the Senate inquiry into the
stock market, but since the momentary
retreat of the shorts early Saturday
there had been little further inclina-
ton to reduce short positions already
outstanding.
The statement before the Senate
Committee of Richard Whitney, presi-
dent of the Stock Exchange that the
preliminary investigation indicated the
decline late last week was due prin-
cipally to real liquidation rather than
to any extensive short selling, tended
to confirm the view widely held in
brokerage quarters.
United States Steel declined SITS to
$33, new low for the cycle. Utilities
were again notably heavy. Consolidated
Gas dipped So to a new low under $50,
and Detroit Edison dropped SIS to
price Of 500 Allied Chemical dropped
about IS, getting close to S62. Miscel-
laneous issues off So to So by early
afternoon included American Can,

Telephone, National Biscuit Borden
and others. In the rails, Santa Fe and

HURLEY SP|KESTALK
OF GUARDIANSHIP
Disavows Candidacy for

Presidency.
BY G. GOULD LINCOLN.

Secretary Patrick j. Hurley of the
War Department, whose name has been
prominently mentioned for the chair
manship of the Republican National
Committee and for the Republican
nomination for Vice President, today
denied fatty that he was candidate
for either of these Offices
Returning from Indiana, where he
went to address the Republican Editors
Association, Secretary Hurley took an
that he is seeking to undermine Vice
President Charles Curtis claim to re-
nomination.
And at the same time he made it ex-
tremely clear he is not a candidate for
the Craftsmanship of the Republican Ma
tional Committee. Recently a number
of members of the Republican National
Committee have themselves declared
Secretary Hurley would be the ideal
man for the Craftsmanship when Sena-
tor Simeon D. FeSs of Ohio steps out
of that Office at the close of the Repub-
lican national convention.
Would Accept if Drafted.
President Hoover, as is the custom,
will have the say absolutely when it
comes to naming the man who will
handle his campaign for reelection.
Secretary Hurley's friends insist the
President has not taken up with Mr.
Hurley the matter of becoming chair
man of the national committee If,
however the President and his advisers
should determine that Mr. Hurley is
the man for the job and the President
should request the Secretary of War to

FEDERAL BUREAU OUT
OF KIDNAPPING CASE
J. Edgar Hoover Says His Office
Has No knowledge of Lind

The United States Bureau Of Inves-

the Lindbergh kidnapping case several
weeks ago, is out Of the case altogether
at the present time.
In response to queries today, J. Edgar
Hoover, director of the bureau and per-
sonal representative Of President Hoo
Yer at Gov MooreS conference in
Trenton, said his bureau had not been
asked to investigate any recent devel-
opments."
The bureau, he declared, had no
knowledge Of the negotiations which
Col. Lindbergh conducted beyond hear

Asked as to the scope OF the bureaus
activities in the case in the past, Hoo
Yer said:
Outside Of a few minor collateral
matters having no apparent direct con-
nection with the main features of the
case. the Bureau of Investigation has
played no specific part in the kidnap-
ing investigation. We have no knoWl-
edge of details of the case. We are

OFFENSIVE ARMS
BAN IS PROPOSED
BY i. S. IN GENEVA
Gibson Asks Conference to
Prohibit Gas, Tanks and
Heavy Mobile Guns.

BY the Associated Press.
GENEVA, April 11-Abolition of
tanks, heavy mobile artillery and the
use of gas was advocated today by
Ambassador Hugh S. Gibson in an
address to the Disarmament Confer
ence.
Gibson, Ambassador to Belgium and
acting head of the American delega-
ton to the conference, said it is OBJ
vious that abolition of these weapons
can in no sense prejudice any other
plan for achieving security.
.,-.,,s..-W Would Aid Agreement.
"On the contrary" he added. "the
very relaxing of tension which would
enSue from general agreement to do
away with these weapons in itself fa-
vors further agreement"
Fundamentally, the demand for Sc
curity arises from doubts on the part
Of government and its people as to
their ability successfully to withstand
all invasion" Gibson said.
He emphasized that fear as to ma
tional safety is not to be death with
by pure logic or pe.-ce established by
argument alone.
Answer Held Simple.
"Basically, the demand for security
is founded on fear of invasion" he said.
"IC may we'll be asked why this feeling
should be more acute today than in
times past. think the answer is rather
simple.
Before technical progress had reached
its present proportions there was Ger
tain inherent superiority in defense. A
country that puts its faith in frontier
Notifications was able to hold up armies
of invasion at least until its defense
forces could be mobilized and brought
into action.
Within the last generation, however,
he added. certain new weapons have
been developed to point where from
tier defenses no longer constitute an
adequate safeguard against invasion"
Could Cut Budgets.
Gibson urged that until this fear
of invasion is allayed it will be impos-
armament and for that reason ad-
vocated the abolition of heavy often
sive implements of war.
Gibson said:
With the abolition of tanks and
heavy mobile artillery every one of us
will be able to cut our budget appre-
ciably. These two items constitute the
greatest single items of expense in con-
nection with modern armies.
1T seems inconceivable to us that
with the insistent demand for economy
throughout the world we should fail to
reach agreement to discard the most
costly of our arms.

mission, Sir John Simon, the British
delegate, and Dr. Giuseppe Motta OF

HAWAII To PRESENT
STORY Of KILLING
TO JURORS TODAY
CirCumStantiaI Case Against
Mrs. Fortescue and Others
to Be Offered.
By the Associated Press

BY the Associated Press.
HONOLULU, April 1.-THE prosecu-
tion's side of the story Of the killing of
an Hawaiian, accused of attacking a
white woman, was ready to be told in
court today as the Fortescue-M -Massie
honor Staying trial moved into its
second stage.
Selection of jury having been COM
pleted Friday, the prosecution assembled
witnesses for the presentation of testi-
mony and evidence, the next step in
the deepest drama the paradise of the
Pacific" has experienced in years.
AS the trial resumed after recessing
over Saturday and Sunday, Public
Prosecutor John C. Kelley had before
him the names of 20 persons who pro-
fessed to have knowledge on one phase
or another of the killing of Joseph
Kahahawai, Hawaiian, accused with
four other men of attacking Mrs. Thalia
Massie.
Circumstantial Evidence.
With the pldgin English they speak
in court, since most of the prosecu-
tlon's witnesses are Oriental and of
mixeG blood, Kelley hopes to force a
chain of circumstantial evidence which
will send Mrs Massies husband Lieut.
Thomas H. Massie; her mother, Mrs
Granville r. Fortescue, and two Navy
enlisted men, E. j. Lord and Albert O.
Jones, to prison as the killers.
The death penalty Is not involved, the
defendants being accused of second
degree murder. However, conviction
would carry with it the possibility of a
long term in prison.
Despite his long list OF witnesses, in
dications are that Kelley will use only
the most important of them He has
said the prosecution expect to complete
its case within three days
Court sessions are limited to three
hours a day in Difference to Clarence
Darrow, 75-year-old leader of the de-
Tense
The case is being tried before what is
termed the "whitest jury" ever called
in Hawaii. Six men of American eX-
traction and one of German was seat
ed in the face of the prosecutions
fight to have jury of Oriental and
mixed blood
So far as is known, the prosecutions
case is entirely circumstantial. In view
OF this, 1t seemed certain today that
Darrow would request an instructed
verdict of acquittaI when the prosecu-
ton completes its evidence.

PIRATE BANDS SWARM
OVER SHANGHAI AREA
Forty Adults and Children Held for
Ransom-Goods Worth
$25O,OOO Stolen.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
SHANGHAI, April 1l.-An unpre-
cedented wave of piracy west of
Shanghai, toward Lake Taihu, has re-
suited in a paralysis of commerce in
that area, Chinese commercial circles
here said today.
In a report revealing an alleged
breakdown of all civil authority in the
hinterland, extending to within a few
miles of the Shanghai International
Settlement, local merchants said the
pirates had made a series of astound-
ingly daring raids in recent days, taking
goods valued at $250,000 from barges
on the way to Shanghai and kidnap-
ing 40 adults and children for ransom
The merchants said the pirates were
making their headquarters at Lake
Taibu, rs miles west Of here, and that
the situation was the worst in Shang-
hais history.
