DISGRACE TO CIVILIZATION

Another kidnapping of national
interest is spread across the front
pages of the nations newspapers.
A wealthy st. Paul brewer il
snatched away and his family ar
ranges to pay 100000 ransom to
the abductors, while at the same
time forcing the police to keep
their hands off the case.
We have said it before, and we
say it again, that every time kid
mapping victims family undertakes
to deal with the kidnapers it adds
to the wave of kidnapings which are
affecting the nation. AS matters
stand today, no person who has
fair amount of money is safe from
abduction, so bold have the kid
napers become. In fact, in the pres
ent case, the crime is believed to
be directed by man who is wanted
on another abduction charge, the
Boettcher case of Denver. When a
man who is a fugitive from JUS
tice dares to stage another kidnap-
ing under the nose of police, it in
dicates to what lengths this racket
has advanced.
The prevalence of kidnapping is
a disgrace to civilization. 1t should
be stamped out by rigid public
prosecution and more efficient po-
lice methods. But the first step

 White, it was learned. took an early lead with a stirring rendition of Hymn to the Evening Star" But Cardinal O'Conneil came back strongly with the Pilgrim chorus from Tannhauser.

Traders Desir0us Of Dumping Their Shares
They Have Held Them Since Last June and Didn't
 Like the Outlook
BY MAX BUCKINGHAM United Press Financial Writer)

New York, Oct 19.-(UP)- Stock market prices were pounded
 down again t0-0ay by dfnt of liquidation that came in from all over the world.
 An active and lower opening gave way to dullness with little semblance of steadiness at mid afternoon. Then shortly before the close another heavy force struck the market and started ham, mering prices down near their
 close for the day. Tickers were running behind the market at the
 close.
 A desire of longs to get out after. holding stocks since June and
 July-plus irregularities of the foreign exchange markets, wage ru- mors affecting foreign currencies, and weakness in most commodities attributed to the smash in the mar
 ket to-day. The dollar was a little weaker in relation to most foreign currencies. Wheat closed
 with most deliveries lower while
 cotton was about steady with the previous close.
 Speculative bonds followed the stock market into lower ground while U. S. government obligations climbed. The foreign list was ir- regular with French issues weaker and the German obligations show ing a little late strength.
 Leading industrial stocks suf- fered the most weakness today with steel shares outstanding as result of the unfavorable news in the steel industry. U. s. steel lost almost 2 points to around the 36 level while Bethlehem and republic were
 both lower by point Or more. The one issue that managed to swing up most of the session was National Distillers, which at one time showed an advance of more than 2 points. In some sections this was interpreted as rising on news that government had placed an embargo on importation of foreign medicinal liquor. Other
 repeal shares however, did not
 benefit by this announcement. Gold mining shares were weaker
 as result of the treasury price on gold which was considerably under yesterdays quotations. Homestake
 lost 10 points, selling ex-dividend,
 while losses of to points were recorded in the other issues. Copper shares continued weak as
 result of the lower price on ccp- per metal.
 Rails also were leaders in the downward movement. Union Pacific
 sagged below 100 for the first time in several weeks while New York Central had loss of more than a point while Pennsylvania and other
 leading issues in the group had corresponding declines.
 Oils managed for period to show better than most groups. Va
 rious governmental efforts toA curtail production were favorable to the 1 oil shares while some reports of rising gasoline prices came in. Utilities had held their losses to
 6 small margin most of the day
 but American Telephone started
 breaking late in the session. going under. 113. Farm Equipment shares were weaker. as were communica- l tt0na shares
