 Battling Ski was Jack Sharkey, present world heavyweight cham- pion and part owner of Schaaf's contract. Sharkey was then sig mailman on the Denver.

 After turning professional, hls rise was rapid. Under tho tute- lage Of his first manager, Phil SchlossberR, who was heavyweight champion of tho U. $. Navy froin 1908 to 1914, Sailor Ernie scored victories over Johnny Risko, Al Friedman, King Solomon, Jack Rcnnult and Tommy Loughran.
 Early in his career Schaaf held the distinction of being tho only boxer under 2l to fight -profcs- sIonally in New York, being grant. cd n special permit by tho New York Boxing Commission for his Rcnault bout.
 AdJudged by exports m almost perfect physical specimen, Schaaf was selected to pose for the figure on tho Muldoon-Tunney world heavyweight boxing champion. ship trophy before he reached his majority, He stood six feet two inches and weighed around 200.
 Charles Francis Coe, the writer, once was reported to have offered
 Schlossberg $37,600 and a 12 1.2 per cent retaining interest in Schaaf for Ernie's contract. Tho offer was rejected.
 About two years ago, however, Jnck Sharkcy and his manager, Johnny Buckley, purchased tho Schaaf contract from Schlossberg for $l2,600.
 Thorcaitor Shnrkcy seconded Schaaf fin many of his najor fights but by coincidence was missing from tho ringsido when Ernie was beaten by Max Baer, stanley por- cda and Unknown Winston last year.

 Bridgeport and entered the employ
 of the Naugatuck and Housatonic
 Railway companies. He sent for
 his family following the end of the
 Civil War and on October 6, 1885.
 his wife and three sons, Lucian,
 aged 14, Adrian, aged 12, and
 Alfred, aged Q, landed in New
 York, whence they proceeded to
 Bridgeport. On January 16, 1s68
 the family settled in Waterbury.
 where the father and oldest son en-
 tered the employ of tho Water-
 bury Farrel Foundry and Machine
 company.
 When Adrian came to Scovill's in 1888, there were but few hun dred employees. Before he loft he saw It's payroll reach a wartime peak of several thousands. He first worked for Sllvain Dheron at ornamenting buttons, combs, and other articles made of brass. This department was located on the top floor of the old Button Shop. which stood near Mill street on the site now occupied by the hardening room. He then worked for n time in the thimble room and was on. gagged at rolling, knurling and clos ing brass thimbles, an article still by Scovili.
 He entered the tool and machine department as an apprentice on April 23, 1871 and so started his long period of invaluable service 10 that division of tho company. His apprenticeship completed, he displayed unusual promise us n journsymen and in August, 1888 was appointed m assistant fore. man of the tool room, under J0- seph Munger. Seven years later ho succeeded to tho foremansbip. Within q short time his younger brother, Alfred, well-known to tho community ns Captain Wolff. who had como to work for Scovili on July l., 1888, became his assistant. During the next twenty years MT Wolff's efficient reorganization of tho mechanical departments won for him the post Of mechanical superintendent, n position into which he was nblo to direct tho full measure of his mechanical genius. The splendid record in manufacture attained by tho Scovill company during tho spanish American and World Wars, as well as on government orders during peace times, wnB mado possible by his careful plan ming and development of the mos chanical phases of manufacture. Ono of hIs outstanding achieye- ments was tho development of m improved method of hot-forglng brass. q notable aeeomplishmon twenty-five years ago. Tho steady flow of cartridge case production, with m unusually low percentage Of rcJections during tho World War, is but n single example of results for which he was to e largo degree responsible.

napers thrust into the hands of Mrs Boettcher when they abducted her husband Sunday night.
 The family inserted the pre- scrtbed advertisement in the news papers to indicate willingness to deal with the kidnapcrs. But as the hours wore on with nothing but an ominous silence, the tcn- sion in the Boettcher mansion was near the breaking point.
 Even the iron-willed Claude BOettcher, whose poker face and steady nerve have been the subject of hundred stories during his rise to the peak of financial power in Denver. showed the strain.
 He was nervous and frequently snapped quick, harsh commands to those around him. The rasping janglc of n telephone repeatedly caused him to leap to the instru- ment. Mrs Charles Bocttcher, tho victims wife. was near collapse
 Chief of Police Albert T. Clark, who solved the only other kidnap- ing for ransom in Denver history only year ago, was confident he waU on the track of the two men MhS took Boettcher prisoner lato Sunday night. and have held him since.
 Tho chief said "Dinmond Jack" Altelie, former Chicago gangstcr who recently wsa ordered to leave Colorado and never return. had been eliminated from confederation in lnvestigatoin of the abduction.
 Clark predicted tho release of tho young millionaire, within 4s hours, unhnrmed, and without a cent of ransom.
 Authorities to-day had two clues on which they concentrated their efforts. One was the partial iden- tification by Boettchers' young wife of the photograph of n suspect as ono of the men who abducted her husband.
 The other was the typewriter ransom note. It bore no finger prints. but the type Of the note was regarded as n good lead for inves- tigntOrE 10 follow,

Three Steps Outlined
Stated in the clearest way. there
are three steps to be agreed upon in
the present discussions:
First, to take at once the first def.
mite step toward this objective, as
broadly outlined in the Macdonald
plan.
Second, to agree upon time and pro-
cedure for taking the following steps.
Third. to agree that while the first

But the peace Of the world must be
assured during the whole period Of
disarmament and I, therefore. propose
a fourth step concurrent with and
wholly dependent on the faithful full
fillment Of these three proposals and
subject to existing treaty rights.
That all the nations Of the world
should enter into solemn and defi-
mite pact Of non-aggression.
That they should solmenly reaffirm
the obligations they have assumed to
limit and reduce their ornaments,

faithfully executed by al sisnatory

ULTIMATE SUCCESS
AT LONDON MEETING
Attitude of Hitler Government

Washington, May 16.-(P)-Hopes

Tuesday as Washington surveyed the
prospects of success at the gathering
Of spokesman from three score ma
lions Just 28 days hence under the
common roof Of the London economic
conference.
Recent events In Germany and the
strong objections raised by the Hit
Ter government to the British arms
reduction proposal Tuesday held new
potential sources Of irritation which
aroused apprehension lest they play
havoc with the conference by des-
troying the cooperative spirit con-
stdered necessary to real accomplish
ment.
President Roosevelt himself has
taken the reins, prepared to speak
out, as all the force and delicacy Of
American diplomacy are being turned
to prevent any irreparable breach at
the Geneva arms conference on the
eve of converting the London parley.
Until the arms crisis has been pass
ed many officials here believe it will
be impossible to predict accurately the
chances for success at London.
Here are some of the things the
American delegation would like to see
accomplished:
The monies of the various nations
stabilized at q definite ratio to each
other.
A joint undertaking to refrain from
raising new tariffs, quotas, embargoes,
or creating other determinations.
For even more importance, a def
mite plan for chopping away the in
crustations Of such obstacles which
have accumulated during five or six
years Of steadily intensifying econom-
ic nationalism.
An increase in the price of silver
and other basic commodities.
An agreement whereby the export
of wheat would be limited to a figure
which would no more than meet world
needs, thereby avoiding huge sur
pluses which depress the price.
A resumption of the. movement of
capital to be brought about in part
by abolition OF foreign-exchange re-
striction.
