Since the enactment of the Federal
kidnapping law, Federal officers can enter
an investigation from the start. II the
criminals are apprehended and prose-
cution follows the case comes under
Federal jurisdiction only If the Vlctlm
was transported across State line.
But that is usually not known until
the case is solved Hence in any kid
naping case the family OF the victim
can request the aid Of Federal officers.
kidnapping is one of the major con-
Germs in the new Federal war against
crime, which we plan will unite local
and Federal law enforcement systems
into a much more effective protection
for the citizens.
In kidnapping cases we are bending our
efforts toward two primary ends:
First. to return the victim, and to re-
turn him safely.
Second, to take steps to punish the
perpetrators of the crime.
But, first and foremost. the families
can be assured that the utmost secrecy
will be observed, in SO far as the Bu-
reau of Investigation is concerned.
Fingerprinting Improved.
Our system of crime apprehension
cannot be fully described, naturally,
since discussion would place criminals
further on their guard.
However, it can be said that since
kidnapings have been on the increase
we have built up a fingerprint system

EXTENSIVELY
No One Gang Responsible for
! Tide, Says Hutchinson of
Senate Group.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated P-ess.
NEW YORK, July 15.-Col. Franklin
S. Hutchinson, directing United
States Senate Committees drive to end
racketeering, is convinced the rising
tide of kidnapings cannot be attributed
to any one gang.
IT don't believe there is any one
ring" said Hutchinson today. L think
the kidnapings have been largely OF
local origin"
Hutchinson, who was chosen for the
post by Senator Royal S. Copeland. Is
soft spoken and mild hammered. but
he has been described as relentless and
untiring when given a task to accom-
plish.
Investigators Organized.
OF methodical habits, he has con-
cerned himself first with organizing his
staff of 80 trained Investigators. Then
he will start the drive to end all rackets,
kidnapping included.
I'VE will be able to deal with kid
napers effectively when the States.
counties and cities appreciate the value
OF utilizing the Federal Governments
law enforcement agencies notably the
Department of Justice and the Bureau
of Investigation" he said.
THE Federal forces certainly can be
used more extensively.
The trouble is that the Federal
Government cannot tread on the toes
of the States. Its jurisdiction is con-
fined to interstate kidnapping, except
when the kidnapers use the mails in
demanding ransom"
The inquiry by Col Hutchinson and
his staff will extend to the fish, poul-
try, trucking, narcotic and employment
rackets and interstate shipment OF ma
chine guns.
Poultry Racket Extensive.
The poultry racket. he said, probably
was one Of the most extensive, with
complaints having been received from
many States in the West. The fish
racket, he added, was largely confined
to the New York City markets.
The Roosevelt administrators in
dustrial recovery program will aid ma
terially in ending business racketS, Col.
Hutchinson predicted. Insertion OF
clause in codes of ethics drawn under
the national recovery act prohibiting
payment of tribute Of any kind was
suggested by him as possible aid IN
suppressing rackets.
Il believe fixing of minimum and
maximum wages, minimum working
hours and the limiting of competition
will help" he said. Competition some
times gets so keen the first thing you
know sabotage starts"

that is proving Of great value. Local
law enforcement officers are forward
ing us all fingerprints of persons who
have been in any way involved In kid
naping cases.
Those f1ngerprints have shown us
recently that cases taking place in
widely divergent sections Of the coun-
try were perpetrated by the same indi-
viduals. Obviously that information
simplif1es detection. Further, we have
complete case histories here Of all per-
sons who have been involved in Fed
eral cases, including complete informa-
tion on their associates and hideouts.
That further simplif1es the matter of
locating suspects.
In recent widely discussed kidnap-
crime because the family notified us
Immediately. We instructed them in
forwarding all mail to our Offices in
such a way that the fingerprints on
the envelopes were preserved. Those
prints solved the case.
In another case the kidnapers used
an airplane. Obviously. no private
family could hope to deal effectively
with such modern methods. The only
way is to turn to such agencies as the
Bureau of Investigation, that is
equipped to cope with the present-day
organized underworld.
How Time Is Lost.
We were not notified of the O'Connell
kidnapping until Monday night. The
young man disappeared Friday. We
learned Of it through telegram to
Senator Copeland of New York That
meant four days Of supremely valuable
time was lost.
Let me emphasize again, the family
in such situation can depend on Fed
eral officers for quiet, efficient secret
operation The spirit of this depart
ment is, first and last, to get results.
1t is difficult to say just why this
hideous crime Is on the increase. Most
likely, the expected repeal of the
eighteenth amendment Is driving crimi-
mails into this new field, as they foresee
the loss of good living through the
sale of liquor. Legalized beer has al
ready deprived many Of them Of their
usual illegitimate employment.
We are planning. and are already
receiving, much closer cooperation
with local authorities. II necessary
more men will be placed in the Federal
forces until we stamp cut the wave Of
kidnapping. But the family and friends
OF the kidnapped must do their part in
cooperating promptly to bring about
the desired result.

hlometers long between Forts Boqueron
and Ayala, where the Paraguayans were
resisting q Bolivian effort to puncture
their defense and reach the Paraguay
River.
Bolivian losses have been heavier be-
cause they generally have been on the
offensive, but both armies have been
equally stricken with dysentery and
other ailments resulting more from an
all-meat diet than from unfavorable
climate.
Many Of the i'll and wounded have
returned to the battlefield. Bolivia has
approximately $4,000 men in the war
zone OF the 10000 mustered in, while
Paraguay has 10000 of 70,o00.
Both Confident.
Both nations seem confident Of ulti-
mate success.
Bolivian confidence is based on Gen.
Hans Kundt, a German, who has been
training the Bolivian forces since 1911
and Who returned from his native coun-
try last December to assume the COM
mand in the Chaco offensive.
Paraguayan self assurance has been
increasing weekly because their defense
has held fast while the country has
been made ready economically for war
and the troops. which at the outset
lacked even sufficient rifles, have been
equipped.
A virtual stalemate during the last
three months, however. has increased
the belief in both countries that the
fighting may be inconclusive as previ-
ously and that the situation may revert
to the old status quo, with both main
tanning in the Gran Chaco s1Ifficient
troops to hold existing positions.
Bolivian pre-war talk of reaching
Asuncion, the capital OF Paraguay. in
fortnight has ceased, and Paraguay
is contemplating the probable necessity
Of keeping 10000 electives in the field
Indefinitely.

GRAN CHAC0 WAR
NOW A YEAR OLD
Both Sides Skirmishing In
concIusiveIy With Neither
Gaining Ground.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the ASSOCIATED PresS.
BUENOS AIRES, July 15.-Today
the first anniversary Of the initial con-
f;ict of the Gran Chaco War, found
Paraguay and Bolivia skirmishing incon-
clusively in positions almost identical
with those occupied before the fighting
began.
Careful, composite estimates from
best informed sources placed the Bo-
nvian dead from fighting or disease at
10000, with the inef1ectives from ILL
Eess and wounds at $4,000. The Para
guayan figures were placed at 5000
dead and 1900 Ill and wounded.
On July IS, 1882, the Bolivians, after
a short and sharp fight. captured Fort
Carlos Antonio Lopez, which the Para
guayans had occupied a month prior
after saying they found it deserted.
Scene Of War Shifts.
The scene Of hostilities quickly shifted
southwestward, where today the Para
guayan lines were said to have routed
Bolivian forces from entertainments
perilously close to their own Fort
Gondra. The net change on the map
after the campaigns, in which 20 forts
have been lost and rewon by the armies,
is Paraguayan possession of the Bo-
livian fort Arce and Alihuata.
Both countries agree that the war will
be won, lost or drawn on a line 80
