nection. Mrs. Stoll, who had been III
several days, came down stairs when
she heard the noise.
The man menaced Mrs. Violet with
q gun, forced her to tape the hands
Of her mistress. Then he tied the
maid to chair, gagged her and told
Mrs. Stoll he was going to kidnap her
Slugged Her With Pipe :
They talked about the matter for
some time. Mrs. Stoll offered the
man check II he would let her go.
He replied by hitting her on the head
with - piece OF iron pipe. Her head
was cut and began to bleed but the
maid said she was not unconscious.
Allowing her q checked blue and
white coat to cover her negligee, the
kidnaper then forced his victim to
go with him. Mrs. Violet caught q
glimpse Of his car, q late model coach
or sedan Nord We, 80 or '34). He
said: II Berry comes, I'll kill him, =
the maid declared.
The man was In the house about
an hour and q half in all. The two
women were alone. All the time help
was nearby II they had been able to
summon It. Frank Hardin, IS, Negro
hired man on the place. was working
IN q nearby field. He had rifle, as
si1eep-killing dogs have been giving
trouble.
Tho kidnapping was discovered by
Mr.. Stoll when he went home at $50
last night. He telephoned police from
neighbours home.
Mrs. Stoll Is daughter Of Mr.. and
Mrs. William s. Speed, of family
prominent in Kentucky for genera
tions. Her husband is vice president
Of the stoll OIL Refining Co. She is
niece Of Frederic M. Sackett, form
er senator and ambassador to Ger
many In the Hoover administration.
Husband Finds Note
Having telephoned, Stoll returned
home and on his wifes bed on the
second floor found the kidnap note
In . sealed envelope. The authorities
refused to tell what It said. But ma
jor william Schmidt, night chief Of
police, revealed that It was perfectly
typed on two sheets Of legal cap
mostly In black but In some parts In
red ink.
It was understood the note first
warned the family not to notify fed
eral officers, and that 1t went on to
point out three other cases where
federal officers had been called in to
solve kidnapings, and families Of the
victims had to pay the ransom money

the matter was closed. There hasn't
been any trouble since.
Mrs. Clendenning insists the food
budget, while q minimum, can be live ]
on. She knows, because she has lived
on it herself to test it out. Since she
lives alone In an apartment, this
means that she held her food costs
to $l.25 week just to see II 1t could
be done. During that month, she adj
mits, she didn't live on the fat of the
land but she maintained her health
despite the strain Of long hours in the
relief office.
How Budget Is Made
How the budget has been adjusted
Is indicated by the fact that last Nov
ember the so-called average family
consisting Of man, wife and three
children received $40 a week for
groceries. In August, when the ap-
portionment was lifted, they got $4.84
q week. There may be further
advances II prices skyrocket. TO this,
from time to time, Is added the meat
ration already mentioned and occas-
ional distributions Of surplus COM
modities.
In Burleigh county there has been
no widespread disposition to organize
so-called self-help groups. as has been
done in some other places, but the
tendency has been toward it.
Where possible, men are permitted
to work on jobs they like or where
they have had experience. For ex-
ample shoe repairman suggested
that he could cobble the shoes Of his
fellow sufferers. A workshop was
arranged for him and machinery in
stalled. Now he does a flourishing
business. Women's sewing rooms util-
lie skill in that direction.
One peek at the complexity Of the
problems which are presented to the
relief office In rapid-fire order and
this story ends.
The Tribune reporter talked with
Mrs. Clendenning matter Of two
hours. The conversation would have
been shorter had 1t not been for the
Interruptions, both on office matters
and telephone calls from the outside.
Moving IL Discouraged
One woman who called wanted the
relief administration to move her fam
lily from the country to an apartment
In town 30 1t would be easier for the
children to 60 to school. It took a
lot Of time to explain that relief could
be granted only II the clients stayed
where they are, that the city is over
crowded and the expense would be
more than the relief office could bear.
A man came In to inquire about q
work assignment and that was
Strengthened out. Several others came
to ask about food orders and meat,
and were referred to the proper clerks.
Over the telephone, Mrs. Clenden-
ming made arrangements for q woman
who was about to have q baby. It
took some time to get all the arrange
ments made.
BY this. time 1t was after closing
hours and the clerks had left when
in came q motherly looking woman
and boy.
The woman explained they had just
come from the doctors office and that
the J J would have to enter the hos
pital that night for an appendicitis
operation the next morning. It was
an acute case.
A check with the doctor showed
that the situation was as represented
and an order was issued for the hos
pital to admit the lad.
To the newspaperman he didn't look
sick and therein lies the
answer to the medical system which
