N,SO Col. H. Norman Schwartz
koff, of the New Jersey State
police, who directed the inveSti-
CATION of the Lindbergh kidnap-
ers. was informed by Interna-
tional News Service today of the
arrest of three men in Antwerp,
in connection with the case.
He Immediately got in touch
with the State Department at
Washington asking to be in
formed as soon as the names and
identity of the three were ascer-
tanned.
Colonel Schwartzkoff's men
have been investigating the cir
culation of the ransom bills ever
since the kidnapping more than a
year and a half ago. He said:
Several times we nave had
reports of Investigations being
made in Europe by local pO-
lice, but in no instance has
an arrest been made"
He was, he said, very inter-
ested" in the Antwerp incident
and would keep in close COM
munication with Washington
throughout the day.

north of Peiping, was evacuated

fugees from towns in the north

kuon troops.
Numerous districts where Chin
ese punitive columns have been
operating we're sacked and burned
by the rioters, the refugees de-
clared.
Among those returning to Peip-

MINERS ARMY
THREATENING
NEW RIOTS
10000 PiCkets Mobilize; Hints
OF Invasion of West Vir-
ginia Field Are Heard

PITTSBURGH, Pa, Sept. %
G.NS0. - The steady tramp,
tramp. tramp of 10000 rough
shod feet-the feet of 10000 angry
men - drummed a challenging
echo today to the peace agreement
reached at Washington between
soft coal operators and union
leaders.
Ten thousand pickets, the larg-
est force mobilized thus far in the
bituminous coal holiday move
ment, served notice that at least
SO, 900 striking miners would not
only refuse to return to the pits,
but would fight to extend their
Gripping movement into the West
Virginia field.
Border War" Hinted
Vague mutterings Of an "inva.
sion" by the Pennsylvania miners,
hitherto deprecated and disavowed
by strike leaders-and diSregarded
by operators and State authorities
gave every indication today Of
developing into a possible border
war" between the strikers and
West Virginia authorities.
That the invasion. now planned
for tomorrow, had been changed
from fiction into near-fact was
revealed by two developments.
/. Thousands of men began
mobiliZing on the Pennsylvania
side of the West Virginia Penn
sylvania line today. There were
two concentration points, one
at the Colonial operations Of
the H. C. Frick Coke Company.
the other at the Edenborn mine
Of the same concern.
2. On the West Virginia side.
Sheriff Charles T. Hickman and
a force of deputies and State
police were keeping a 24-hour
vigil to repel any attempted
march on the Monongalia
county coal fields.
Company Rejects Code
Further fuel was heaped on the
flames of open resentment
against the Frick company to-
day when rumors swept through
the picket lines that the concern,
which has not signed the new
wage agreement, planned to i'm
port strikebreakers into the re-
gion. The miners still hold to
their declaration that they will
not resume work until the agree
ment bears the approval of the
Frick concern.
Should the miners go through
with their plans, it was almost
certain that a clash would re-
suit. West Virginia authorities
have indicated their determine
ton to oppose march.

PURSE SNATCH
HOLDS YOUTH

Arraigned before Judge Ralph
Given in Police Court today on a
charge of assault to rob, George
Brantley, %, colored. pleaded not
guilty and was placed under $4,000
bond for the Grand Jury.
Brantley. who lives in the first
block of L Street Northwest, is &C
cused of attempting to snatch a
purse from Mrs. Elsie Jacobs, first
block of I Street Northwest. late
Tuesday night. Policeman R. D.
Edwards testified he answered a
radio call to North Capitol and K
Streets and saw Brantley running
down an alley. He cornered the
man on the top floor of an empty
house.
When confronted with the sus-
pect, Mrs. Jacobs was too hysteri-
cal to identify him. However, she
followed the police to No. l pre-
cinct and positively identified the
man from the lineup. A witness
testified he heard the woman
scream and saw Brantley running
down the street. He followed in
his car and directed the radio car
to the alley.

K|DNAP z

HAYS, Kan, Sept. % GN.SO.
Police Of two States today were
pursuing four machine gunners
who raided the Farmers State
Bank here, abducting IL persons
as hostages on a flight into

The robbers shifted from one
commandered automobile to an
other as they fled before posses
directed by an airplane. Loot
obtained in the bank robbery
consisted of only the cash out
side the bank vaults.
Nearing Hollywood. Kan, late
last night, the gunner freed the
last of their hostages and swept

COURT BUILDING
FUND ASKED

Branding the present Courts
Building as "a disgrace to our
Cove ernm n t." Representative
Mary T. Norton, chairman Of the
House District Committee, today
urged the Public Works Admin
istration to include a new court
house in it's District program.
In a letter to Secretary Ickes,
Public Works Administrator, Rep
resentative Norton asserted that
no more important project for the
District can be considered at this
time. She said:
"AS chairman of the House
District Committee 1 have fire.
quently called attention to the
deplOrable Courts Building In
the Capital City of the nation.
II feel that in bringing this
to your attention / am vOicing
the sentiments Of the people Of
the District of Columbia.
with your record of pro-
greSSive service, feel certain
you will join those of us in the
District who are anxious to Sc
cure this new building by plac-
ing 1t as one of the projects Of
major Importance to be cOnsid-
cred at this time."

Liquor Sale Ties Up z Men
With Urschel Ransom

berS as the ransom money. The
Government has shown that when
Bailey was arrested at Paradise,
Texas, he had $700 in $40 bills
which corresponded with the Sc
rial numbers on the ransom notes.
Bates has been identified by
four witnesses, including UrSchel,
as one of the two heavily armed
men who invaded the Urschel
home in Oklahoma City on the
night of July % and kidnapped the
oil multimillianaire.
The other man, the witnesses
said, was Machine Gun" Kelly.
And, true to his description, he
carried a machine gun that
night.
At ShannOn'S Ranch
So much for two Of the de-
PENDANTS.
In another category come the
three Shannons-Mr. and Mrs. R.
G. Shannon and their 21-year-old
son. Armon CPotatoes"D Shan
non. The Government has defi-
nitely established that it was at
the Shannon ranch near Paradise
that Urschel was kept a captive
and that Shannon and his son
stood guard over him. The alibi
of the Shannons Is that they were
forced by Bates and Kelly to har-
Dor UrSchel.
Machine Gun" Keuy's death
threats have failed to scarce
Urschel or the Federal authori.
ties. Joseph B. Keenan,, assistant
United States Attorney General,
here from Washington, said the
threats have had the reverse ef-
feet.
Urschel continues to attend the
court sessions daily. So do his
associates. The general attitude
of the Federal men is that Kelly
is making a grandStand play and
that in his desire to stir things
up he may leave clue that may
result in his arrest.
