BY BREMERS
Father of st. Paul Banker
Dealing With Gang; Police
Are Called Off the Case

ST. PAUL, MINI, Jan. 10
Q.N.SJ.-Heeding the fearful plea
of the missing mans aged father,
authorities today suspended their
search for the kidnapers Of Ed
ward G. Bremen, 81, wealthy
banker, to give Intermediates free
rein in arranging the 100000
ransom payment demanded.
Federal Department of Justice
operatives and police reluctantly
obeyed the request of Adolph
Bremen, the father, who asked
that they make no move that
would endanger Edwards life"
Ready to Pay Sum
The elder Bremen, leader in
Minnesota democracy and a per-
sonal friend of President Roose'
velt, is part owner of the Jacob
Schmidt Brewing Company here.
The Bremen family is one OF the
wealthiest in st. Paul.
Bremer's request was regarded
as a definite indication that nego.
tiators had established definite
contact with the kidnapping gang
and that payment of the stagger'
ing ransom was imminent.
The younger Bremen received
masters degree at George
Washington University in Wash
ington, D. c., in 1919.
An invalid, the elder Bremen
was keeping an almost ceaseless
vigil at his spacious home here,
accompanied by his daughter,
Miss Louise Bremen.
Agents on the Scene
Department of Justice agents,
hurriedly dispatched here when
the kidnapping was disclosed, aug
mented the force of city police
and sleuths of the State Depart
ment of Criminal Apprehension.
Proof that the Bremen family
was ready and willing to pay
them ransom was contained in
brief classified advertisement
carried in a Minneapolis daily
paper, which read:
1--WE are ready. Alice"
Seized Near School
Bremen was seized Wednesday
morning while returning from the
Summit Elementary School, where
he had taken his 8-year-old
daughter, Betty.
At noon a mysterious telephone
call was made to Walter Magee,
prominent contractor and close
friends of the missing man. The
voice informed Magee that Bre'
mer had been kidnapped.
Told by the mysterious caller
that a note would be found on
the rear steps of his office, Magee
found a crudely typewriter mis-
sive which bore Bremer'S sigma
ture.
The kidnapers instructed Magee
to furnish the ransom money in
bills of used currency, of SIS, $40
and $40 denominations not of
consecutive serial numbers. They
were to be wrapped up in a card
board box, the note said.

Charles ,Boettcher, Denver

The grab" in both these cases

Sankey likes to take adults.
They seem to him to be easier to

In all instances where he has

has taken his victims from their
automobiles, and communicated
with the family promptly, laying
down explicit terms from which
in the past he has not varied.
Bohn was kidnapped on the
streets of st. Paul from his auto
mobile, taken to house in the
same city and held for a week.
When the ransom was paid, he
was released.
Boettcher was held up at the
point of a gun as he was putting
his car in the garage. He was
then taken to a farm in South
Dakota and kept captive until his
family paid go thousand dollars.

BILL TO
CONTROL GOODS
MADE IN PRISON
Sponsor Says U. S. Meas
ure Would End COMPETE
ton With Industry.

By Scripps-Hoiodrd Newspaper Alliance
WASHINGTON, Feb. 9.-The
problem of providing useful en-
ployment for 1000 inmates of fed
eral prisons and reformatories will
come before congress shortly when
it considers a bill introduced by
Representative M. G. Tarver (Dem.,
Ga)N
The Tarver bill proposes estab-
lishment of prison industrial board
Of five members which would draft
"a program and supervise installa-
ton of prison factories with a view
to minimizing their competition
with private industry.
The measure reopenS an issue
threshed out in 1880, when congress
passed the prison industries act and
created a revolving fund for estab-
Using penal factories. Under this
act the installation of factories is
in charge of the bureau of prisons.
Bill FavOrably Reported
Representative Tarver's bill has
been reported favorably by the house
judiciary committee and leaders
have consented to it's early con-
Sideration. 1t would authorize the
President to create board of one
representative of labor, one of man
ufacturerS, one of agriculture, one
Of vocational education and one for
the general public interest. Appoint
mentS would be for f1ve-year terms
and the encouragement and bud
get director would be ex-offcio
members.
The prison labor issue was brought
to the fore recently when the house
adopted an amendment to the four
department appropriation bill for
bidding use of the prison industries
fund for purchasing machinery for
the manufacture Of metal furniture
in the new Lewisburg (Pa.) peni-
tertiary.
The amendment, introduced by
Representative John G. Cooper
(Dem., o., block a plan of the
bureau of prisons to buy approx
mately $4,000 worth of machinery
for making metal office equipment
to be used by the government.
Act Failed to Function
Operation of the 1880 act has
failed to accomplish congress de-
sire for Investigation of prison in
dustries, Representative Tarver de-
clared.
Instead" he said, "the bureau of
prisons continues to add to the
burden of two or three industries in
which it is already engaged"
One purpose of the bill, he added,
will be to cut down production of
the duck cloth mill at the Atlanta
prison. This, he declared, now
produces 38 per cent of the amount
The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1934-02-09

of wide duck produced by free labor
in the entire country.
Creation of the proposed board,
according to Representative Iarver,
would eliminate the protests which
always come from members OF con-
gress when the bureau of prisons
undertakes to diversity its industry
whenever the bureau attempts
to carry out the, purposes of the act
so that the burden will be scattered
among all industries, diligent repre-
sentatives rise and propose amend
ments which will prevent the bu-
reau from going into the field OF
industries which are prominent in
their districts" he said. 1.-THE re-
suit is that there can be no diversl-
fication."
The Cooper amendment was
adopted by the house after its
author had declared that metal fur
niture manufacture is highly spe-
cialized industry, requiring about
80 per cent machine labor.
The revolving industries fund now
amounts to about $4,000. The
Cooper amendment was attached to
the last appropriation bill and up
to now no industry has been in
stalled in the Lewisburg prison,
which houses about LOO men.
The Tarver bill has the support
of Prison Director Sanford Bates
and Attorney-Ge Homer S.
Cummings, its author says.
