warned Secretary Of State Hull
that II any attempt was made to
discuss currency and tariff mat
tiers at the conference, the Ameri-
can delegation would be con-
fronted with the same problem
that. faced it at the world eco
nomic conference in London.
That was inability to enter any

.KIDNAP CASE is
NEARLY SOLVED
Michael Cohen Be-
Iieved One of the Abdus-
tors in New York
PRISONER ADMITS PART

The mystery behind the kidnap-
ping of 9-year-old Hilda Brodsky
near her fathers home in Will
mington on April Is, 1882, may be
uncovered, police indicated thru
the arrest in New York of a small
time Philadelphia racketeer. He
is known both as Michael Cohen,
81, and Albert Saltzman, and New
York detectives were quoted as
saying the prisoner admitted he
took part in the kidnapping but
had refused to divulge details or to
name other participants. The
Brodsky child was recovered in
Philadelphia approximately fif-
ty hours after she had been
snatched from a Wilmington
street, while on her way to school
through the activities of the
Rev. Joseph NJ. Pugiese, rector of
the Church of ST. Mary Magdalen
de Pazzi, and DR.. Arthur P. Kee-
gan, Coroner's physician. She was
put out of an automobile in front
of the rectory, at TIP Montrose
street, on Sunday, April II, and in
structed to ring the door bell. The
child was restored to her parents
without the payment of $4,000
ransom, after Father Pugliese, ap-
preached as an intermediary warn
ed the kidnappers that child
snatching was punishable with
death in Delaware. Cohen, in COM
pany with Frank Martino, SO, was
taken into custody Saturday night
by New York police at I'D street
and Broadway, and charged with
lettering. Under questioning, the
prisoner, it is said, admitted par
ticipating in the Wilmington kid
mapping. He is wanted by Phila-
delphia police to answer charge
of hi-jacking truck. Harry
Brodssky, the girls father, is a
hosiery jobber, and was reputed
well to do. Interest in the case
was intensified because the public
mind already was infamed by the
Lindbergh kidnapping near Hope
well, N. j., less than seven weeks
before. At the Brodsky home it
was said the family was away for
the weekend. Superintendent
Black, of Wilmington police, sent
detectives to New York with in
structions to bring Cohen to that
city. In case he does not waive
extradition it was said the Brod-
sky child would be taken to New
York in an effort to identify him.
A woman, said to be Miss Marie
Costa, "a, whose present where
abouts the police admit they do
not know, is also sought for ques-
tioning in connection with the
case.

WHEAT PASSES ONE DOLLAR
WITH PROMISES AND THREATS

With wheat now over the dollar
mark, the West is happy and the
East is wondering if it can last
and what it will mean if it does
last. Less than four months ago,
on March 8, wheat was selling in
Chicago at forty-eight and a half
cents, and only seven months ago
it touched forty-one and a half
cents. Two factors, initiation and
a poor crop, have caused this phen-
omenal rise. For the moment at
least those two factors have lifted
the wheat farmer out of the dis
tress class. Can they hold him
there? If they can, what will it
mean to the national economic sit
uation? Dollar wheat, if it con-
tinues through the current mar
