SENATORS PROBE
LOUISIANA VOTING
Huey Long, on Scene, De-
cIares Investigation Does
Not Worry Him.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW ORLEANS, February 3-The
United States Senate's Special Elections
Investigating Committee today began q
hearing Ito get the facts" Of Senator
Edwin S. Broussard's charges Of election
fraud In his defeat by Representative
John Overton, who was championed

ducing facts" said Senator Robert B.
Howell. Republican, Of Nebraska, chair

tee, and by members Of the committee.
They will then be cross-examined by
Senator Long.

wasn't worried about the investigation.
They have investigated me so much
I'm beginning to think there might be
something wrong with me-" he said.
Broussard Spectator.
They've looked under the beds and
swept the floors, but have found nothing
yet. It's been 30 frequent, and there
have been so many spies and snoopers
In Louisiana that I can't keep q dog

COUNTY PLANS

The first hurdle for the con-
tinuation of the 1881 school and
road programs for Montgomery
county was successfully cleared at
last nights meeting of the county's
Civic Federation, despite the OBJ
stacle of a proposed bond issue.
The road program won by a
vote of 65-33 while but one dis
senting vote was cast against the
resolution moving the continuance
of school construction necessary
to meet classroom needs for 1888
to 1885.
Resolutions were offered oppos-
ing the Cabin John Park Volun-
teer Fire Department taxing area
bill; urging repeal of blue laws;
favoring formation of a cadet
corps in the county high schools;
favoring making the county COM
missioners a zoning commission
for areas not served by the Mary
land-National Capital Park and
Planning Commission. All were
referred to committees.

CITIZENS BACK
LOAN To D, {.

One citizens association today
stood at odds against its superior
organization, the Federation of
Citizens Associations, over the
pending bill authorizing the
District to borrow $2,50O,O00 from
the Reconstruction Finance Cor
poration for District unemploy-
ment relief.
The Northeast Washington
Association, in a resolution
adopted last night, went on rec
ord approving the bill, which
was opposed at hearings by the
federation.
Declaring that all relief should
be provided by regular appropria-
tions, the Park View Association,
upholding the federation stand,
opposed the bill.
The northeast group also went
on record to ask Congress to con-
tribute a $7,775,00O Federal share
to the District, instead of the
$6,5CN, 900 as recommended in the
supply bill now before the House.

BARON SEEKS
BOETTCHER

DENVER, Feb. IA GN.S0.-
Underworld forces were working
surreptitiously today, according to
police reports, to effect the safe
return of Charles Boettcher 2nd,
wealthy young Denver broker,
kidnapped Sunday night and held
for 100000 ransom.
Mrs. Anna Lou Boettcher, the
victims blonde wife, denied she
personally had communicated
with Joseph P. Roma, Colorado's
''Bantam Booze Baron" in an
effort to find her husband, but
admitted "a friend might have
done So"
When questioned regarding pur-
ported efforts to enlist his aid,
Roma was avasive, declaring that
he had enough troubles already
and did not want to antagonize
officers of the law who are work
ing day and night on the case.
Mrs. Boettcher, exhausted with
fear and suspense, is confined to
hre bed today, under the con-
slant care of physician, a nurse,
and her aunt. She is expecting
the birth of her second child
next month.

Disaster Forecast
The scheme to control prices

Urges Public Works
A vast public works program
financed by a Federal bond issue
was urged upon the committee by
Paul Block, of New York, we'll

in a program for economic re-
covery.
Block also advocated small
manufacturers sales tax which
may be eliminated once the
Eighteenth Amendment is re-

Other proposals he advanced in
cluded rigid Government economy
and prompt balancing of the
budget; adjustment of European
debts to the United States on a
scale downward, drastic reduction
of the hours of labor and a
moratorium on farm mortgages.
Calls 1t Imperative

Denver Chief Thinks He Knows
PIanner of Boettcher Crime;
Hunt For Victim Is Vain ,

DENVER, Feb. IA G.NSO The
kidnapping of Charles Boettcher
I'd, wealthy Denver broker, con.
tinued to BATTLE police ard Fed
eral authorities today as the kid
napers apparently spurned to
open negotiations for the 100000
ransom demanded.
More than 80 hours after the
scion of one of the Vests lead
ing families and heir to millions
was whisked away from his pa
latial home here by two armed
men, all trace of the kidnapers
and their victim had vanished.
Federal authorities joined with
hundreds of police in a vain
search for some tangible clue;
governors of Colorado, Wyoming,
Utah and New Mexico issued ap-
peals to citizens to maintain a
ceaSelesS watch for suspects; 300
firemen combed apartment houses
and hotels in the city; airplane
pilots offered their services; and
peace officers in surrounding
mountain and plains regions
searched cabins and dugouts in
fruitless efforts to find some
trace Of the missing millionaire.
PIotter known, Is Hint
But Chief of Police A. T. Clark
issued the statement that he
thinks he knows the identity of
the man who plotted the kid
naping and expects to bring about
his arrest within 48 hours.
The kidnapers had failed to &C.
cept virtual invitation from the
family to open negotiations for
payment of the $4,000 ransom.
The social group from which
Boettcher was rudely Snatched
while his young wife looked on,
and the business community which

peacefully.

nounced that several persons have
been questioned in connection
with the kidnapping. Hours of
grilling brought little information

Proposed second trial of four ma

having attacked Mrs. Thalia Mas.
sic, pretty Washington wife of a
United States naval officer Off,
Ger, today stood stricken from the
calendar.
Legal "finis" to the sensational
case came when Judge Charles
Davis nolle pressed the charges
at the request of Prosecutor John
c. Kelley. He said:
"A careful analysis of the evi-
dence adduced at the former
trial indicates clearly the fol
lowing principal weaknesses in
the prosecutions case:
Methods employed in Secur-
ing Identification of the de-
PENDANTS; lack of physical and
material evidence of the alleged
assault; and lack of evidence
to overcome alibiS presented by
the defendants"
Joseph Kahahawai, fifth mem
ber of the group, was slain JAN
uary 8, 1882, for which Mrs. Mas
sizes husband and her mother,
Mrs. Grace Hubbard Fortescue,
also of Washington, together with
two naval enlisted men, stood
trial and were convicted of man.
slaughter. They were released by
Gov. Lawrence Judd after serving
zone hour terms"
Three of the defendants were
free men today: Ben Ahakuelo,
Horace Ida, and David Takai. A
fourth, Henry Chang, was sent to
prison last week for violation of
his parole on 1928 conviction.
