Is Kidnapped For
His Pension

HARE s T.-Benjamin
Kramer, a cripple of the World
War. has been kidnapped from
the home of his brother-in.law,
a shopkeeper named Segall, on
account of the United States
pension which he receives.
Kramer fought in the Ameri-
can Army during the war, and
draws his pension regularly from
Galat7. Segall's relatives, a
family named Engler, have long
been jealous Of Segall and Of
his brother-in-law's pension. A
few days ago the Engler family
drove up to the door of Segall's
house in Jucica and carried off
the cripple to an unknown
destination.
Segall has called on the police
to restore the pensioned brother
in-law.

been filled with excitement.
AS Motors Roar
And back of Tom roared the
heavy motors that have displaced
him and his grand breed.
Apparatus that can achieve the
impossible, so it would seem, was
on display in the parade. Ladders
that shoot high up against
modern buildings, water towers,
pressure bumpers, all mechanical,
all efficient.
And with the old equipment
were old volunteer firemen. men
who gave their time freely for
love of adventure and to help
their fellow men. With little
equipment and little training,
they accomplished much.
Beside them marched the highly
trained firemen of today. men
trained to handle the mechanical
equipment, men trained to give
first aid, men with their modern
rescue squad equipment.
Cheers from Crowd
The volunteers and the modern
firemen were applauded as they
passed the crowded stands.
The threatening weather did
not detere the spectators, and the

the scheduled hour of the start.
Firemen from nine States+In-

There were $50 pieces Of fire

more than 80 beautifully decorated

Reviewed By NOtables
From a reviewing stand in front
Of the District Building the parade
was witnessed by group Of
notables including Secretary Of
War Dern, Secretary of AgrAcul-
ture Wallace, Secretary of Com

eral Cummings.
A group of judges also occupied
the reviewing stand to pass on
the merits of the hundreds Of
parade entries and award more
than 100 prizes.
Besides the firemen, soldiers.
sailors and marines, there were
scores of civic and fraternal or
ganizations represented in the line
of march.
One of the largest parades ever
held here, it took three hours to
pass a given point.
There were more than 100000
persons lining the route of the
parade as sirens screamed, and it
started at exactly II o'clock.
Fire Chief George Watson, OF
the District fire department, and
Major Ernest w. Brown, superin-

Bailey was dressed only in a
suit Of coveralls and was bare

Of the guards he met.
Chief Jailer Murray Fisher said
that reports to him were that
the gun Bailey had was an "old
fashioned" one. How he got the
gun was a mystery to officers.
Bailey was the only prisoner
on the eighth floor.
An hour and a quarter after
the escape no reports of anyone

AS details of the escape became
known it was learned that Young
when he took Bailey's breakfast
upstairs was accompanied by a
negro known only as Cain" The
negro acted as an elevator opera
tor and waiter and was carrying
the breakfast tray.
Bailey was supposed to be in

Bailey stepped out and gave his

First reports that Young was

were said to have been incorrect.
Bailey took Young's keys and
locked him in a cell on the

ordered to run the elevator to the
lower floor. When Bailey reached
the jail office the negro immedi-
ately ran the elevator up to the
floor on which Chief Jailer Fisher
was and gave the alarm. BY the
time Fisher reached the main
floor Bailey and Trepf were gone.

ACTOR LAMSON
STUDIES ROLE
IN JAIL
Accused SIayer's Appearance
in Court Eagerly Awaited;
State Raps "RehearsaI"
BY ERNEsTINE BALL

SAN JOSE, Cal, Sept. 4 Il.
N.S0.-David Lamson, one-time
Stanford College theatrical star,
is rehearsing in Jail, studying his
lines for the greatest role in his
life.
Will his reputation as an
amateur actor help or damage
the effect that he must make?
Will Deny Crime.
He will deny that he murdered
his lovely young wife, Allene,
struck her head with an iron
pipe, and then pretended" to
find her dead body in the bath
room of their Stanford campus
home.
But how will he say those
words-what effect, what feeling,
tone will he create? Prosecuting
Attorney Lindsay says:
IF Lamson sObs, cries out
for his dead Allene, puts on an
act Of uncontrolled grief to get
the sympathy of the jury.
everyone will know he is just
acting"
In their undergraduate days at
Stanford when the handsome
student and his demure coed,
Allene Thorpe, had their beauti,
full dream of happiness, she was
very proud of his acting ability.
A Strange Trial
Now that dream has ended in
tragic reality, Allene lies in her
grave in Lamar, Mo-, her
girlhood home. And David Lam
son, former Stanford publishing
executive, comes into court, pre-
sented by the prosecution in the
role of wife murderer. intro,
duced upon the witness stand by
the defense as an innocent man.
David Lamson, the accused, may
swing the pendulum one way or
another, without adding one tiny
fragment of real evidence to the
strange puzzle. BY the aura, the
emanation, call it what you will,
that he projects into the scene,
the Jury may arrive at a verdict.
So far this has been one Of
those murder trials where suspense
is maintained because there has
been no overwhelming. incon-
trovertible, sensational evidence
for or against the defendant.

Gale Moves Inland
Near West Palm Beach

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. Sept. 4
'(I.N.SD.-Howling out of the At
lantic after raking the Bahamas
Islands, an equinoctual hurricane
of great violence struck the Flori-
da East Coast between West Palm
Beach and st. Augustine early to-
day and swept inland on a North
westward course toward the gulf.
spreading destruction in it's path.
Crippled communication facili-
ties today permitted only meager
reports to trickle through from
the stricken area.
The towns of Stuart and Fort
Pierce, north of West Palm
Beach, were completely cut off
from the outside world. Tele-
phone lines were down to West
Palm Beech and Miami.
A falling barometer and rising
winds early today at Orlando,
inland citrus belt capital, herald
ed the approach of the slowly
moving disturbance.
No Deaths Reported
The storm was believed to have
struck with it's greatest fury in
the vicinity of Fort Pierce.
No deaths were reported from
towns on the fringe of the storm
area. Although the gale blew to
q velocity of IS miles an hour,
occasional gusts sweeping up to
100. at West Palm Beach, only
two injuries were reported there,
with minor property damage.
Damage to the citrus crop, how
ever, was expected to be enor-
NOUS. The hurricane, marching
inland at an approximate rate Of
IS miles an hour, swung upward
through the citrus ridge country,
skirting the northern fringe Of
Lake Okeechobee.
At 8 o'clock this morning
Sebring, in mid-State. reported a
50-mile wind.
Few Live in Region
Fortunately the storm, after
striking in the vicinity of Jupi-
ter. Fort Pierce and Stuart, moved
inland over sparsely settled coun-
try, where it could bring little
threat to life or property.
The storms path was approx
mately IS miles wide.
Fear was felt, as no word came
from the area swept by the storm
center, for thousands of inland
dwellers, particularly in the vi
cinity of Lake Okeechobee and
the north portion of the Ever
Rlades country.
5000 Refugees
Several relief trains, ordered
to remove the residents of the ricn
Okeechobee Lake country, where
nearly 1000 lost their lives in the
disastrous storm of 1928, were un-
reported.

The feat performed by New

to pay off the national debt. That
Of course, was in the good old

we feel like giving a loving cup
or something to a hen who. in
the face Of such low prices for
eggs, will not only lay an egg a
day to keep the debtor away, but
will boost her quota nearly so
