 Tinkham announced he would offer in the house a resolution for an investigation of Davis connec- tion since 1917, with international bankers. In addition to buying bargain stocks, Davis was revealed as one of a score of bankers who have not repaid to J. P. Mor- gan x Co.,, funds borrowed during the past five years. Morgan testi- fled many of these loans are over- due and are not secured by suf- f1cient collateral. Davis, however has reduced $75,0O0 loan to $1O,- 900.

Former Policeman
 Under Arrest
(Continued from Page 1.)

(Continued from Page 1.) recently accompanied Curran to the hideaway.
 Not long ago Curran turned states evidence and set two fellow members of the notorious Gustin gang to state prison. They were Thomas F. Dineen, 31, and An thony Dembrowski, 22, convicted of assaulting Boston policeman.
 Reconstructing the crime, in- vestigators believed that Curran was lured from a Webster, N. H., farm a week go yesterday, driven directly to this city, shot five times, and then dumped into the quarry hole as the lifeless passenger of a stolen sedan.
 Curran's fate might have re- mained a mystery for years, per- haps forever, but for one flaw in his slayers' ingenious plans. When the sedan, containing his body was pushed over a cliff into the deep quarry hole far below so great was the impact that the cars top was torn off. After it reached the bot tom the rear seat cushion fioated to the surface. It was found by workman who took it home. Chem ical analysis of stains on the cush- ion showed them to be human blood.
 Yesterday Fred Wallace, pro- fessional diver, descended into the pit while hundreds watched from the cliff above. His first dive was fruitless. Two hours later, how ever, he went below again and brought up two suitcases filled with clothing, each article of which bore Curran's name in red indelible ink.
 Subsequently Wallace located Curran's body and an eight-cylin- which investigation showed had week ago yesterday. The body had fioated free from the wrecked car and lay on the rocky bottom of. the quarry. Wallace was un- able to obtain the motor number of the sedan, which also had been stolen, police were certain.
 The autopsy report stated that Curran died "a few days ago from bullet wounds" Constable George D. Fairbanks of Webster, N. H., reported that Curran had been liv- ing at his farm under the name of James Murphy" and had left sud- denly with three men a week ago yesterday. Police believe Currap was driven directly to Quincy and slain.
 Six weeks ago, while being held in $500 bond at Plymouth jail as a material witness, Curran was bailed by a fellow member of the Gustin gang. It. was believed his release might have been arranged to make possible the murder re- vealed yesterday.

. day, these additional developments were recorded:
 Senator Glass, dem., Va, reveal ed that he had been threatened with death by anonymous parties accusing him of defending the Morgan company.
 Senator Couzens, repn., Mich, pressed toward a showdown on &C., cusations of irregularities in the record of Ferdinand Pecora, senate committee counsel in the Morgan inquiry.
 Rep. Tinkham, repn., Mass, an- nounced he would ask a congress siona investigation of Norman H.. Davis, American ambassador at large in Europe, another buyer of bargain Morgan stocks.
 The White House joined with Woodin in denying reports that the treasury secretary already had sub- mitted his resignation to the presi- dent.
 q have not resigned-that's all I can say," Woodin told newspap- ermen following his return from the weekend yachting trip with the president.
 Indications were that Woodin's decision would be determined by developments. A casual inquiry among senators showed that many believed he would resign sooner or later. Democratic and republican demands for his official life already have echoed down Pennsylvania avenue.
 Senator Glass, spry little Virgin ian who has consistently objected to Pecora's methods in the Morgan inquiry, told the United Press he had received about half a dozen death threats and several back guard communications"
 He said there might be more. He hasn't had time to read all his mail. But whether half a dozen or corners he would persist in inter- rupting Pecora's questions to up- Told "the dignity of the senate 1emmittee."
 x sPecora is a bulls eye for attack.
 ID unidentified member of the Roosevelt administration and an unidentified correspondent in New York promised to give Senator s Couzens details of alleged irregu- larities in Peeora's record as an assistant district attorney in New !, York. In that office Pecora was in charge of investigation and prose- : cution of some of Manhattan's most notable criminal cases. One of them was the murder of Dot King, 2 Broadway show girl. That mystery was never solved.
 Couzens charges a campaign is under way to discredit Pecora. The lawyers friends on the senate banking and currency committee, ! which is conducting the investiga- tion privately, assure questioners they intend to haul the thing into the open. They believe in Pecora, and are convinced publicity will crumple the case of his detractors.
 Senators closest to the investfga- ton are emphatic in asserting that s'nothing can stop this inquiry" If Pecora were disqualified. the com mittee would hire other counsel and continue the searching exam ination of investment and banking methods which accompanied the { boom period and continued beyond it, these senators say.

 Col. Goodman of West Hartford also charged that taxes on this in- dustry should not be raised at this time. On the other hand Rep.

 On a roll call vote the unfavor- able report was rejected and the bill passed 139 to 61. Reps Thoms and Mahaney of Waterbury and Clancy and McDermott of Nauga- tuck all voted for the unfavorable report. The bill now goes to the senate where it is expected that it will be killed.

"They treated me with the utmost cour- tesy and utmost consideration" Miss McElroy's release shortly after her father and brother, Hen 'ry, met the kidnapers on a little used road in Wyandotte county yesterday, was the first public in- timation of the perfectly staged abduction.
 Two men forced their way into the McElroy mansion about noon Saturday, found the heiress bath ing, ordered her to dress, and fled with her.
 Early that night a special deliv- cry letter. written by Miss McElroy arrived:
 -'I have been kidnapped" it said They are demanding $6O,O00. Ii this IS reported to police of the newspaper they will ask $1O0,OOO and l may not be returned. You will hear later where to send it We are off the gold standard sc send currency"
 Three telephone calls and an. <AOtS "1i AAiAiS dSdlASL marked bills of $1,000 were received. The city manager countered with ar offer of $30,000 ransom which was accepted.
 sunday morning the negotiations were completed. McElroy and his son, following explicit instructions drove to an address in Kansas City Kansas. There they found a note directing them to @ can buried three miles out of the city. The can contained directions which took them to rural road where a fast automobile drew alongside. With two sawed-off shotguns train ed on him, Judge McElroy handed over the unmarked and unrecorded money and the two abductors sped away.
 Almost immediately Miss McEl- roy was released from an automo- bile in front of the Milburn Coun- try club, and few minutes later she was home gushing a romantic tale of her great experience" with the kidnapers who chained her to the wall of their hideaway but treated her with such consideration she came to know them as "old friends"
 "And would you believe" she said preathlessly. pointing to a wilt ed flower, "one of them brought me roses. This is my souvenir of the beautiful bouquet"
 She could hazard no guess as to the location of the kidnap hide away except that it was a "base- ment about 10 minutes drive from where I was released" The bandits c <,n kNIL q members in the gang. but she only saw four. all apparently Americans with good faces"
 She disclosed that she had been handcuffed, but moment later ex- claimed:
 'They didn't mean any harm and they couldn't have me running about you know."'
 When the ransom was paid, she said, the bandit leader had tears in his eyes as he assured her she soon would be back with her par ents.
 "I told them it was the incest ride I ever had" she concluded.
 Govt Enters Case
 Kansas City, Mo. May 29-(UP) The federal government joined today in search for kidnapers of Mary McElroy. who was ransomed for $30,000 by her father, Judge H. F. McElroy. city manager of Kan sas City.
 The abductors held the 25-year- old society girl for 29 hours man. acled to the wall of their basement citadel while awaiting payment of the ransom.
 The department of justice en- tered the case because the abduc- tors, by crossing state lines, violated the new and drastic federal kid-

Rep. Thoms was busy circulating a petition that all federal relief to this state, in the event of passage of the governors relief bill, be ap- portioned to cities and towns on the basis of population.
 Meat of the Bill
 Hartford, Conn, May 29.-(UP) The states first emergency un- employment relief bill was sent to the house to-day and made the order of the day for Wednesdays session.
 The bill, termed Raising municipal finance and unemploy- ment relief commission" provides for appointment of a commission of not more than five members by the governor, who will be an ex- officio member.
 The commissioners shall serve without pay and the commission exist until emergency conditions are believed past.
 The commission shall deputize all local charity commissioners as members ex-officio and hold them responsible flor the proper distrihu- tion of welfare funds, in accordance with the rules and regulations laid down by the commission.
 In event a municipality experi- ence dangerous financial difficulty. the commission Is empowered to apply to the superior court for ap- pointment of a receiver to take over the affairs of the commission.
 The state also will guarantee all bonds issued by the municipalities, and will act as the commission for the distribution of federal aid.
 Among the bills passed in the house to-day was one effecting the tenure of school teachers of Stam- ford, which Gov Cross vetoed last week. The bill was amended so as to be effective Jan 1, 1895. in stead of upon passage. and was approved after short debate.
 Another measure. which would rebate to gasoline distributors one per cent of the tax to allow for shrinkage and bills, also was passed.

naping law, enacted after the Lind bergh baby Kidnapping. This law made Kidnapping punishable by life Imprisonment.
 A second mighty arm of the na- tional government reached out for the kidnapers as postal inspectors set out to avenge the use of the mails in the extortion operation.

 The Kidnapping occurred In Mis- souri. The ransom was collected in Kansas. The search spread to-day throughout the middle west with the best generals of the law pitted against the criminals.

Relief commission, came into the house today. and upon motion of House Majority Leader Raymond Baldwin was made the order of the day for Wednesday at 11:30 a. nn., daylight saving time. Rep. Thoms and Mahaney will vote against it, they asserted today.
 Under the provisions of the bill the state can certify bonds for any city or town; shall name receivers in case of default on bonds; sets up a commission of five to admin ister all relief activities. whether they are state or federal.
 When interviewed today Rep. Thoms stated that all money re- ceived from the federal government would be disbursed by this commis- sion which would take over all re- lief work in the state. He said that Waterbury is in better shape than any town in the state and as a result would get very little relief. The city needs nobody to certify it's bonds as its credit Is such as to guarantee that.
 He insisted that such a measure would result in towns getting only smaller interest rate whereas now WaterDury gets the smallest interest rate in the state. He point ed out that the relief bill guaran- teed no relief for real estate now bearing the burden of taxation. He refused to say that he was commit ted to the sales tax, but inclines to- wards it as one sure way of reliev- ing pressure now on relief agencies He said that a bond issue to ma ture in 10 to Is years, could easily be retired by the proceeds of a sales tax.

 The political division of the seri- ate gives the democrats a margin of one vote, but as Hackett VIII not vote on his own appointment, the vote will be tie, if both par ties vote as unit. The lieutenant governor, Roy c. Wilcox. would thus vote, and he is a republican.
 This is the second highly re- garded commissionership tke re- publicans have seen slip from their hold this session. Governor Cross also named democrat, Michael Connor, Hartford, to the important and highly desirable office of Mo- tor Vehicles Commissioner, thus ending the long administration of Robbins B. Stoeckel, a republican.
 Hackett, New Haven insur- ance man, is serving his second term in the senate.
 Blodgett, a lawyer by profession, has been tax commissioner of the state since 1920. He is considered OllS Ol tnG DCSL d0tLOAAtASS stAo east on tax problems.
