THE establishment of the first
Il systematic police force dates
back TO the days of Rome when
the names of Catiline, Cicero and
Caesar graced the pages of his
tory. In those days Rome. built
of wooden frame houses, offered a
great fire hazard and cases of ar
son became so common that pre-
caution had to be taken. Crack
Roman legionaries were assigned
to the city primarily, as firemen,
but also as policemen. Their duty
it was to protect. as well as to
fight fires. This force was the be-

of financial loss and animus against
all wealthy persons. The National
Bank of Kentucky, of which Will
liam ShalIcross Speed, Mrs. Stoll's
father, was a director, failed early
in the depression with a heavy loss
to depOSitorS.
4. A Nashville (Tenn) man was
named as intermediary between the
family and kidnapers.
Don't Lose Your Head"
Wording of the letter, glimpses Of
which were seen by The Times in
formant, almost conclusively proved
that it had been written with the
idea of abducting the elder Mr.. Stoll.
when you get this note, do not
lose your head" the lengthy type
written letter advised do not
notify the police" 1t continued.
This is a matter between you and
ourselves.
You would be better off telling
taken a trip for few days.
The letter went on TO say, The
Times was informed, that the abb
ductor represented well-organized
unit" who know our business"
That the kidnapers are thoroughly
familiar with the Lindbergh kid
mapping law and the penalty they
face is disclosed in the letter.
Should we have to take Mr.. Stoll,
l. e., or his body, across the state
line" it said. I'VE are fully aware Of
the penalty"
Murder Threat Hurled
Another paragraph said that un-
less the ransom is paid, Mr.. Stoll
will be killed, his body burned and
dissolved in sulphuric acid and
thrown into the Ohio river.
Purported close knowledge of the
Stoll financial affairs was indicated
in the letter by reference to a
loan alleged to have been negotiated
by the Stoll Oil Company. The
kidnaper, the letter said, realized
that the Stoll company had bor-
rowed a large amount of money re-
Gently with Mr.. Stolls insurance as
collateral.
Referring to a corpus delicti,"
the letter pointed out that the in
surance could not be collected with
out a body.
There was report here that such
a loan had been negotiated by Mr..
Stoll with the amount estimated
variously at between 81 100000 and
s1,500,000.
However, Harold Nathan, assist
ant director of the department Of
justice investigation department
here, refused today to disclose
whether investigation has been
made to determine if the loan ac-
tually was made.
The writer of the ransom letter
altered one part Of it. Originally,
the ransom had been set at $50. 900.
but this figure was scratched oas
and $4,000 substituted.
The Times informant, who has
seen the letter, could not recall the
actual wording of all of it, but de-
clared the letter referred to a unit
composed of Socialists, who formerly
had worked as honest men"
The letter charged that Mr.. Stoll
recently charged at a directors
meeting of the Stoll Oil Company:
Roosevelt is putting through legis-
lation against capitalism. We capt.
talists must stick together"
Letter Carefully Written
I'VE are only trying" the letter
said, TO get back what is owed US"
Foregoing statements from the
ransom letter are not intended to
give the full text" The Times in

carefully, we'll composed and punct-
uated and contained several Latin
legal terms properly employed.

repeatedly.

There was an argument in which
Mr.. Fawcett and Acknowledgement
David Wilentz of New Jersey dis
cussed the question.
Hauptmann, his fingers out

Ernest E. L. Hammer. who had the
query reframed.

WAR
PRESIDENT OF
FRANCE, DEAD
Death Comes Swiftly to
Lion of Lorraine
Thrice Premier.
BIZ United Press

By CHtted Press
PARIS, Oct. 15.-Raymond Poin-
care, the Lion of Lorraine" France S
war time president, died today at
the age of IA.
He had been in i'll health since he
resigned from his third tenure of
Office as premier in 1929, but death
came swiftly. 1t was announced
yesterday that he was slightly i'll.
Last night he slept fitfully, became
worse around midnight and died at
q a. m. today.
The death of Poincare, called the
savior of the franc for his sta
bilization of the currency when he
was called to the prime ministry for
the third time in 1926, depriveS
France of a second great statesman
within a week.
Louis Barthou, foreign minister
who was assassinated at Marseille
with King Alexander, was buried
Saturday.
Served france 5U Years
Poincare served his country for
more than fifty of his IA years. He
entered the chamber of deputies, al
ready prominent as an editor, in
1887 and from then on was a CEN
trail figure in politics.
In 1929, honored and in even
higher esteem than when he was
president, he was forced to resign
as premier because of i'll health.
He returned to Paris in Septem-
Der after spending the summer at
Sampigny. He seemed greatly i'm
proved, and resumed work on his
long awaited political autobiography,
in which he had reached the early
postwar stage. This book was ex-
pected to cause a world sensation.
In his last brief illness he was
helpless, paralyzed on the life side
and partly paralyzed all over. His
death, however, was not expected.
His wife was the only member of
the family at his bedside, though
several of his political collaboratorS
were there.
Funeral Like DOumer'S
Premier CASTOR Doumergue and
other members of the cabinet
learned four hours later that Poin-
care was dead. The last bulletin
they had received Sunday night
announced a Slight indisposition"
was terminated.
1t was decided that Poincare's flu
neral should be one like that given
President Paul Doumer, who fell
victim to an assassin in 1882. The
body will be placed in the Pantheon
for several days, to lie in state. 1t
will be taken to Notre Dame cathe-
dral Saturday morning for requiem
mass and returned to the Pantheon
for the official ceremony, including
a eulogy by Premier Doumergue.
The body will be buried at Nube-
court Sunday, with members of the
government and Lorraine peasants
attending.
Poincare was loved by few but
respected by all Frenchmen, not the
least by the many enemies he made
in politics, of whom one of the most
implacable was the late Georges
Clemenceau, the Tiger, who was
premier during the war while Poin-
care was president.

market commission-Joseph P.
Kennedy, of Boston and New
York-a red headed, fighting
Irishman who used to play the
market himself, knows the ropes,
and believes the new regulatory
law is good and enforceable.
Mr.. Kennedy at As, already has
retired, and come back" Long
before he was 40, Joe" was a
bank president, shipbuilder and
a movie executive. Broken in
health in 1880, he gave up active
work and did not expect to return
to it.
Expects to Prove Worth
He has been, and will continue
to be, the target of political
sharpshooting because OF testi'
mony before the Senate stock
market inquiry that he partici-
pated in pool" operations for
hidden under the new law. Mr..
Kennedy has a theory about this.
He explains:
I'm what I am. I have
participated in two pools. 1
never participated in a bear
pool in my life. They say I
won't be confirmed, some Of
them. Well; its a long time be-
tween now and next January
when Congress meets again. I
believe that between now and
then there will be plenty Of
time for me to prove whether
I'm worth keeping on the COM
mission. 1 know that if I am,
will be kept"

tribe of nine youngsters will settle
down here to call the Capital
home. Kennedy wants a country
place and plans to bring some of
his horses here.
Mr.. Kennedy is wealthy. He
had quite a lot of money when
he was graduated from Harvard
in 1912, and he's been adding to
1t since and says he doesn't want |
any more. He's interested in his

President Roosevelt ran into
Mr.. Kennedy when the latter was
in charge of shipbuilding opera

Company during the war.
Mr.. Kennedy said he became
interested in Mr.. Roosevelt's presi- /
