'k|NGFISH' ON
HOME GROUNDS

NEW ORLEANS. Aug. 81 U.?)-
Huey P. Long. Louisianas battling
"Kingfish," returned to the home
grounds today and found his poll
tical enemies calling him a ma
tional menace.
A large crowd waited at the rail-
road station. but Long left his train
at a suburban station. Four body
guards took him into immediate
tcv. Two throttled a newspaper
photographer, usual procedure.
How about that black eye?'
shouted a reporter.
Go to hell" shouted. Huey,
climbing into his automobile. which
was trailed to a night club.
Businessmen pointed out disap-
pointedly that Long had gone to
Milwaukee to invite the Veterans
of Foreign Wars to hold a conven-
tion here, but had become SO up
set by his black eye that he forgot
all about it.
NEW YORK. Aug. 81. U.P)-Tha
far flung search for the gentle
man" who hit Senator Huey P.
Long continued undated today
with each group Of searchers claim
it had located the man.
One group insisted that Lieuten-
ant Afford J. Williams, former ma
val flyer and now a Pittsburgh
business executive, was responsible.
Williams was at the party at the
Sands Point. L. /. Bath Club, and
his adherents pointed out his de-
nial of having hit Long was only
luke-Warm.
Another nominee was Stephen
Weber, police chief of Port Wash
ington, L. l., who was also at the
party. Webbers denials were be-
neyed by some to be phrased in
such a way as not to be denials
at all. and Williams discoverers in
sisted Webber merely wanted tc
make himself a hero.
Philadelphia Jack O'Brien, for
mer prize fighter, was the only Long
defender. He thought Longs story
Of having been attacked by gang
sters in the Washroom of the cX-

for it,
In explaining how the break" came,
Gen. Needham said: Finally during
the nights examination) as State De-
tective John Stokes was questioning
him, Cyril remarked: Well. I'm on a
spot either way. II I take the rap
that will end it, won't it?'
Il told him that it would not, that
regardless, We would keep after it until
We tracked down every one involved.
Cyril then told his story"
It was after the men had been taken
to the old Barnstable court house by
four detectives that the money was re-
covered. Kenneth was taken back to
his house and the detectives asked for
the money. At first. they said, $10,-
600 was produced by Mrs. Buck. Then
the men were taken upstairs to q bed
room and from q closet, close to the
ceiling. a tin can was removed and in
it $4,000 was found. The remaining
81 900 was found loose
Gen. Needham described the arrest
OF the two men as "a cleanup of the
case"
II am delighted to announce" he
said, the capture Of two criminals in
volved in the most spectacular crime in
the history of Massachusetts,.
Full and complete credit for this WON
derful job should be given to Lieut.
Detective Ernest Bradford. who had
charge of the investigation; Lieut.. De-
tectiveS Sherlock Stokes, Ferrari, Bar

figures quoted above are from the rec

Senator Dickinson, Republican, of
Iowa, in declaring his opposition yester-
day to the State-quota proposal, said he
thought the apportionment quotas
should be taken into consideration in
the making Of appointments, but that
ing on diSmissals.
He said, therefore, he favored striking
out the provision seeking to apply the
apportionment law to dismissals. Here
tofore the apportionment quotas have
had relation only to the distribution Of
appointments.
Senator Dickinson, who was a men,
ber Of the special committee which in
quired into the whole subject Of gov

his legislation. In public statement,
he said:
The most tremendous lobby has been
brought into Washington since my term
in office. Every conceivable kind of
telegram, letters and coercion on en-
ployes has been employed The hotels
are filled with lobbyists against the bill
from every section of the United States
Seeing that sentiment is so strong
for the bill. they have adopted the tao
tics Of being for the spirit of the legis-
lation. but suggesting numerous amend

load down the bill SO that its passage
and signing will be prevented.
There Is a very wholesome field for
investigation. and in my Judgment it
would bring some very interesting reve-
lations." The arduouS task Of re-
drafting the 30-hour work week bill
was assigned yesterday to House labor
subcommittee.
To do the rewriting, Chairman Con-
merry named himself, Representatives
Griswold of Indiana and Fftzgibbons

Connery said the bill would be ap-
proved by the full committee Thursday

written would:

or five days week:
Permit a longer than 30-hour week

Kenneth said he was not armed and
he did not own gun. Cyril drove the
car at this time.
AT the time Of the fire, Kenneth
had a note addressed to Mr.. McMath

ing to the police or the press, but be-
cause of the fire and the belief that
Peggy had been discovered, he tore up
the note and threw it away.
After he found she was still there.
he could not figure out how he could
come in contact with Mr.. McMath. He
finally decided to appeal to his brother
to act as an Intermediary.
This he did the following morning,
which was the first time that his brother
Cyril had any knowledge Of Kenneth's
connection with the kidnapping.
His brother from there on acted as
intermediary.
Kenneth said he had Peggy write
notes SO that the father would be con-
vinced Of the authenticity of the mes
sages.
He said that Kenneth identified q

written on the boat as part Of his con-

his brother Cyril to get as much as he
could. McMath went up to $50 1000,
Needham said. but on the next contact
agreed to $4,000.
Kenneth" Needham continued. be
lieved that Cyril had received $4,000
of the $4,000. He since learned that
Cyril did not take that money. There
was no stipulation as to the denomina-
ton Of the bills"
Needham said that Keneth was very
much upset: that time and time again
he broke down and could not talk. He
frequently said, according to the COM
missioner, he was ashamed Of himself.
The commissioner said that Kenneth
told him he was very much worried OF;
Friday and had decided to 90 to Father
COLUMBIA Moran, a Harwich priest, tell
his story, return the money and hope
to be forgiven.

That is the overwhelming concensus

no dissent found utterance here from
the basic measures initiated by the
