TRACTION CHIEFS
REPORT BIG GAINS
Street Car and Bus Traffic
Shows First Advance
Since 1929.

Special Dtspatch TO The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK. December 12.-Local
transportation units Of this country, op-
orators Of street cars and city buses,
report gains in trafnc resulting from
trade upturns and the holiday shopping
season.
October trafnc-Roughly 700, 600, 900
passengers. Of 200 companies represent
ing, according to the American Transit
Association, 90 per cent Of the electric
railway and bus business Of the United
States-was ahead of the same month
OF the previous year for the nrst time
since 1929.
November trafnc figures have been
received from only few cities, but
these indicate a volume OF business
equal to that Of the same month Q year
ago. Representatives Of transport units
in Greater New York believe that De-
cember passengers to date exceed those
Of the same period in 1882.
Small Cities Included.
Street car and bus trafic Is q good
index Of business conditions, going up
and down in line with employment
cities of less than $4,000 population
showed the first substantial increase
Traffic in these cities increased 1.3 per
cent during August and "a during Sep
tember. Many cities Of the $4,000 class
have one or two industries which re.
sumed work and thus put traffic on
the cars and busses. In the larger
cities, where there are more industries,
the return Of people to work was re-
nected more slowly in traffic statistics.
The October compilation shows that
much Of the gain resulted from riding
in metropolitan centers Of more than
1000 900 population. In New York
City 155,o63.665 riders were carried in
October on all rapid transit lines,
showing an increase-the first since
June, 1930-of 2,943,506 passengers or
1.s3 per cent. Presumably similar
trends were reported by the surface
cars and bus lines here. Traffic gains
started last March. At that time traf-
fic was of an average of 1873 from
March, 1882. This decrease was cut
down by months as follows: April,
11.9; May, 7.6: June, SIS; July, 90;
August, OIL; September, 1.3. In other
words traffic increased steadily from
March through August, but there was
a dip in September Then October

Interurbans Improve.
Interurban lines still show the great
est decreases in traffic compared with
last year, but riding on them has picked
up appreciably. During October inter
urban passenger kaulage was of 70
compared with October, 1882, but at the
beginning of the year riding on these
lines was off 224 per cent.

JURY QUICKLY
 ACTS, VERDICT IN ABDUCTION
Former Ore gon Convict Given Extreme Pen-
 alty for Crime
KIDNAPER OF MARY
 M'ELROY SENTENCED
Gang Forced Victim from Bathroom Was
 Chained to Wall

KANSAS CITY, July 27.- Walter McGee, former Ore gOn convict, has been sen tenced to death by a jury which convicted him of kid naping Miss Mary McElroy, who was released after pay ment of a $3O,O0O ransom.
 The case, the first with the extreme penalty, assisted the Nations crusade against kid napers. It is one of the few to bring the death sentence where a victim of a kidnap- ing was unharmed.
 Taken from Bathroom Miss McElroy was taking a bath when the kidnapers arrived at her home. The kidnapers told her to come out of the bathroom or they would shoot through the door. After she came out they told her to get dressed and she did as di- rected.
 Chained to Wall
 Miss McElroy was quickly car- ried away and taken to house and chained to wall in base ment room which she shared with some chickens. She was held for 30 hours and released after the kidnapers asked her to disrobe to convince them she was not secretly holding evidence against them. She refused.
 Half of the ransom paid was re- covered

LONDON, July 27. President Roosevelt, in dramatic message to British Premier Ramsay Mac Donald, ripped the labels of failure from the World Economic Confer ence which many delegates were busily affixing by speeches at the final plenary session.
 President Roosevelt gave the dele gates perspective of the work they have done and told them the results are not always measured in terms of formal agreement but in a better understanding by nations of the problems of other countries, adding that he does not regard the conference failure.
 Spirits Buoyed
 The Presidents message enabled the conference to adjourn for lunch in buoyant spirits instead of under the heavy atmosphere of continued criticism which speakers voiced at the morning session.

Citizens can place a long dis tance call immediately to Edgar Hoover, director of the federal bu- reau of investigation Able and ex- perienced officers will be dispatch ed to the scene immediately. s Where The U. s. Enters
 Since the enactment of the fed eral Kidnapping law, federal off cers can enter an investigation from the start. If the criminals are ap- prehended and prosecution follows, the case comes under federal juris- diction only if the victim was transported across a state line.
 But that is usually not known until the case is solved. Hence in any Kidnapping case the family of the victim can request the aid of federal officers. Kidnapping is one of the major concerns in the new federal war against crime, which we plan, will unite local and federal law en- forcement systems into a much more effective protection for the citizens.
 In Kidnapping cases we are bend ing our efforts toward two primary ends
 First, 10 return the victim, and to return him safely.
 Second, to take steps to pun ish the perpetrators of the
 crime.
 But, first and foremost, the fami- lies can be assured that the utmost secrecy will be observed, in so far as the bureau of investigation is concerned.
