LONDON, Oct. 13.-The govern
ment-operated telephone service
announced at csc a. m. today (4:3o
a. m. eastern standard time) that
telephone communication with
Spain temporarily was suspended in
both directions.
A United Press dispatch from
Madrid to London at a. m. said
that authorities had informed cor
respondents that all private and
news telephone service to the out
side world was forbidden, effective
at once, but that telephone calls to
Madrid would be permitted subject
to military censorship. Telegraphic
dispatches, it was added, would be
accepted subject to the same CEN
sorship.
The Spanish authorities told the
United Press Madrid bureau that
the telephone prohibition was the
result of false news sent abroad by
certain correspondents, who were
not correspondents of the United
Press.

CAPITAL SPIKES
INITIATION TALK
Liberty Loan RefinanCing,
White House DeniaIS
Offset Rumor.


WASHINGTON. Otc. 13.-New as
surances of a conservative financial
and monetary program came from
the Roosevelt administration today
as an answer to revived rumors of
impending currency initiation.
The bold stroke Of Henry Nor
genthau Jr., secretary of the treas
ury, in calling for redemption on
April Is next of S1,870,000,000 OF
fourth Liberty loan Al per cent
bonds as an initial step to replace
them with lower interest bearing
securities, went far to spike the re-
ports.
The White House indicated stimuli
tancously that no immediate change
was contemplated in the gold con-
tent of the dollar, and that no i'm
mediate new monetary moves we're
contemplated.
The new steps toward refunding
of high Understanding securities
was interpreted in many quarters
as a sound" money step by the adj
ministration, as such a move admit
tedly could not be accomplished in
the face OF currency initiation
threats.
Under the latest refunding pro-
gram, the treasury has called for
redemption April Is next in cash
$3.50, 100000 of the current out
standing $3,14S,OOO,OOO in fourth Lib
erty loan Al per cent bonds. Prior
to April Is one or more new Sc
curity issues bearing a lower rate of
interest will be offered to the hold
ers of the called bonds, so that the
called bonds will not have to be met
with cash.
Two previous refunding operations
of portions of the huge fourth Lib
erty loan issue were used by the
treasury officials as precedents for
the current attempt 1t was esti-
mated that S33,OOO,OOO annually in
interest charges was saved in the
two previous conversions and saw
ings of at least SIS ZOO. 900 were con-
templated for the current CONVEX
sion.

were being examined to determine
whether the prints matched those
of war time soldiers who served
with the missing womans husband
at Fit. Benjamin Harrison near In
dianapolis.
Distinct finger prints also were
reported to have been found on the
piece of paper wrapped gas pipe
with which the kidnaper twice
slugged Mrs. Stoll before dragging
her from the house.
AS the kidnapped woman's family
sat crouched beside silent tele-
phones, police authorities were
thought to lean toward the con-
clusiOn that the abduction of Mrs.
StOll may not have been ransom
kidnapping, but crime of revenge.
In addition to the chance that it
was the work of a former Ston en-
ploye, there is the fact that Will
liam S. Speed, wealthy father of
Mrs. Stoll, was director of the de-
funct atiOnal Bank of Kentucky.
one of the first important banking
houses in the country to collapse in
the Hoover panic.
A receivers suit ponds against
bank directors, in which Mr.. Speeds
counsel is Newton D. Baker, former
secretary of war.
Communications Kept Open
Leading citizens of Louisville de-
clare Mr.. Speed was blameless in
the bank failure but suggest that
a depositor, deranged by losses in
CURED in the closure, nav have
sought to wreak vengeance upon
the Kentucky capitalist and philan-
thropist by this attack upon his
family.
There also was support for the
DRY that Mrs. Stoll may have been
the victim of an abnormal person
when a person close to the family
| declared the kidnaper's last words
before dragging the semi conscious
Mrs. Stoll from her home were:
I'm going to take you to a field"
While Mr.. Nathan last night de-
clared he had no knowledge of the
existence of a reported ransom note,
said to demand $4,000 for the safe
return of Mrs. Stoll, her family
waited and hoped for word that
would mean that she still lived and
would come home to them.
All channels of communication
were kept open for contact. Radio
broarcasts throughout the night re-
peated this statement, issued yester-
day afternoon:
Fear for Victims Life
I'VE have carefully followed in
structions. met all ransome require
ments and are awaiting fulfillment
of promises. The parties may act
freely without fear or rstraint," said
Berry V. Stoll
This was interpreted locally -
mean the ransom had been deliv-
cred either to the kidnaper or TO an
intermediary. probably the latter.
And. in the background, was the
haunting. persistent dread that Mrs.
Stoll might be dead from the blows
inflicted by her kidnaper and. per-
haps, from further mitreatment.

CIVIL SERVICE LAXITY
Exemptions Deplored in Resolution

"A tendency to exempt large

Employees at the Lincoln.
The practice of diScharging civil

The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1934-10-13

These came to light when in
vestigators began to work on
a "tip" that Berry Stoll had
the reputation among some Of
being a harsh employer.
Meanwhile, after two days and
three nights of abysmal silence, 1t
appeared that the kidnaper might
either have contacted or attempted
to contact the family directly last
night.
This belief Sprang from the mys-
FERROUS actions Of an airplane flying
over the Stoll home shortly before
3 this morning and from the fact
that all telephones in the Harrods
Crek exchange, which serve the lux
urious Stoll home, we're disconnect-
ed for outgoing calls for the APP
proximately Commute period in
which the plane was in evidence.
The plane droned in circles over
the sixten-acre estate, near the
Ohio river, and then roared away to
the southeast without any visible
signal.
Members of the Stoll household
refused to answer their telephone
after the planes visit and telephone
company officials would not admit
any connection between the
trouble" at the Harrod's Greek ex-
change and the planes visit.
Frantic Appeal Made
Yesterday and last night, there
had been fearful silence, following
frantic appeal for the keeping OF
pledges made.
Two days had passed since Mrs.
Stoll was carried, pajama clad,
from her home in Louisville's fash
ionable Upper River road colony.
Members of the family disavowed
all connection with any search
which might be under way for the
Ndnaper, putting the safety of Mrs.
Stoll above all else.
For whole day, federal and 10
cal investigators were silent, off,
cially off" the case to allow free
dom for the family's contact eff
forts.
They came and went, however,
appraising clews filtering in from
all over the middle west. From
Charleston, w. Va, came word Of
the arrest of a suspect, Walter
Childress, in whose Kentucky
licensed car strands Of blond hair
were found.
Nothing New" Is Report
After their apparently futile day,
Harold Nathan, tired. weary chief
of the department of justice investi-
gators on the scene, met newspaper
men to report the progress" OF the
day.
Lets make it as brief as posi-
BILE" he said. There isn't anything
new. This case is just as much a
mystery as it was yesterday, if It
was a mystery yesterday. We have
no word indicating whether Mrs.
Stoll is dead or alive and we know
nothing Of any negotiations OF the
alleged kidnapers with the family"
Mr.. Nathan parted questions of
newspaper men and revealed little
that was new, but did make it clear
that whatever activities his men
were undertaking were entirely in
dependent of family assistance and
control.
He emphasized, in this connec-
ton, that the federal investigators
would do nothing which would
hamper efforts of the family to con-
tact the kidnaper.
Finger prints taken from the tele-
phone box torn from the wall Of the
Stoll home by the kidnaper had
been sent to Washington, but no
valuable information concerning
them had been received here, he
said.
