KIDNAPPING HUNT
Brother of Labatt, Wealthy
Brewer, Draws $4,000
for Ransom.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
TORONTO, August 15.-Police said
today they expected break in the
case of the kidnapping of John S.
Labatt. wealthy brewer, by late this
afternoon.
They gave no intimation as to what
form the "break" might take, but it
was evident that both Ontario and
Toronto police forces were working
actively on all angles of the case.
The Provincial Criminal Investiga-
ton Department today Cancelled all
holidays and leaves, mobilizing every
available investigator to bring back
Labatt alive.
The 24-hour time limit set in the
$150,000 ransom note that threatened
death to the victim was reached 1early
this afternoon, with police still ap-
parently without clue which would
lead to his rescue. Apparently there
were no witnesses to the abduction.
A voice over the telephone directed
Hugh Labatt, brother, to Labatt's
abandoned automobile in London, and
the ransom note pinned under the
seat. The note was signed by Three
fingered Abe" and threatened death
after the "a hours.
Denies Ransom Paid.
At his hotel in Toronto today, to
which he was spirited in a Toronto
police car last night after several
hours of conferences with Toronto
and Ontario police heads, Hugh La
bait said he had not paid over any
ransom.
He was authoritatively said, how
ever, to have drawn from a London
bank $150,000. Whether the money
was in Canadian or United States
currency was not disclosed. 1t was
considered an important point, as
possibly indicating that some gang
of American criminals had trans
ferred its field to this side of the
border.
The presence of Hugh Labatt in
Toronto, some $50 miles away from
the scene of the kidnapping, appeared
to mean the ''payof" might be made
at the Ontario capital.
Meanwhile Royal Canadian Mount
ed Police were instructed to be active
in the, search for Canada's first ransom
kidnapping victim.

EL[SWORTHREADY
TO FLY TO BYRD
Will Garry Medical Aid, Says
Report, Denied by Ad.
miraI'S Aide.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, August 15.-The Sun
says Lincoln Ellsworth is going to
change his plans for a trans-Ant-
arctica fight to bring medical aid to
Rear Admiral Richard E. Byrd's camp
Little America.
The Sun says it has learned
through private advices" that Ellis
worth is in Hawaii awaiting the ar
rival there of DR.. Francis D. Conan,
of Johns Hopkins Hospital at Balti-
more, who spent more than a year at
Little America on Byrd'S first Ant
arctic expedition.
Bernt Balchen, the pilot, left Los
Angeles last week for New Zealand,
where Ellsworth's ship, the Wyatt
carp, is being made ready for the
dash to aid the Byrd explorers.
The Sun says that the reason for
DR.. Coman's trip is a mild attack of
dysentery among the Sc men at Little
America.
Before proceeding with his own
expedition, Ellsworth, according to
the Sun, will land DR.. Conan at the
Byrd base.
If Ellsworth is going to rearrange
his plans for a fight over Antarctica
to take medical aid to Little America,
John Mcneil, Admiral Byrds' new
representative, knows nothing about it..
Mcneil said he had not been in
formed of such plans, that, further,
he knew of no outbreak of dysentery
at Little America
I'VE have not made any request for
medical assistance" he said. ANY
way, we have capable doctor at

RAILROAD PENSION
INJUNCTION DENIED.
Justice Proctor Rules Car

ate Danger of Injury.

The first attack upon the constitu-
tionality of the railroad retirement
act, passed by Congress last June to
create a uniform pension system for
railroad workers, was launched in Dis
trict Supreme Court today when JUS
tice James M. Proctor refused to issue
an order temporarily restraining en-
forcement of the act.
He pointed out that there was
nothing to show the l37 railroads
seeking the order were in any imme-
diate danger of suffering irreparable
injury from the contemplated enforce
ment of the act, and that if such a
situation should arise they could re-
new their application.
Two Orders Contemplated.
Attorney H. E. Chaffetz, represent
ing the Railroad Retirement Board,
told the court it was his understanding
the board contemplates issuing only
two orders at this time One will call
for the advance of $125,000, which
will be divided among the 161 class l
carriers so that no single road will
have to pay more than $4,000. This
money he said, is to be used for ad-
ministrative expenses. The other order
will call upon the railroads to furnish
the beard with the names Of all en-
ployes who will have reached the age
of 10 by February l.
Chaffetz also pointed out that the
issuance of a temporary restraining
order would seriously interfere with
the functioning of the board, which,
he said, was anxious to begin its
work at the earliest possible date.
No Immediate Threat.
In the light of the consideration
on each side and the stated plans Of
the board, which do not threaten any
great and immediate damage to the
railroads, there is no proper show
ing for issuance of a restraining
order" Justice Proctor said. II, of
course, can conceive of a situation
arising which may justify the rail-
roads in coming in with a renewal
of their application at any time. But
I see nothing now to suggest the
presence of any immediate and great
damage. The petition will be refused
without prejudice"
In arguing for the restraining or
der, Attorney Sidney K. Prince, rep
resenting the railroads, pointed out
the carriers had no assurance greater
demands would not be made upon
them by the board, and contended the
better procedure was to issue a re-
straining order before a demand is
made rather than afterward. He in
dicated. however, that the railroads
would not object strenuously to COM
plying with the two orders outlined
by the attorney for the board.
The case will be heard ON its merits
some time in October.

Two more clean-cut tests of the
"new desl' were outlined tor the No
vember elections today by returns
from primaries in Ohio and Nebraska.
Ohio Democrats chose A. V. (Honest
Vic) Donahey, former Governor and
new deal candidate, to oppose Sem
ator FeSs, the veteran Republican
Senator and administration critic.
Fess won out easily over four op-
ponents.
In Nebraska the defeat Of Gov.

E. r. Burke, who campaigned on a

Democratic senatorial nomination,
was conceded by Bryan's brother-in-
law and campaign manager, T. S.
Allen. Burke, in the November cleo
tion, will face former Representative
Robert G. Simmons, strong critic of
the new DEAL" who'wo easily in the
Republican primary.
Davey Has Lead.
In one of the closest contests of
yesterdays balloting, Martin L. Davey.
former Representative, was pulling
slowly away from his opponents for
the Democratic gubernatorial NOM
ination in Ohio. Former Lieut.. Gov.
Clarence J. Brown was far ahead in
the Republican contest.
With a huge vote cast, it appeared
possible that for the first time in
Ohio's history the Democratic primary
might run up a bigger total vote
than the Republican.
Nebraska's Republicans chose Dwight
Griswold, Gordon newspaper pub
Usher, for the gubernatorial nominal
ton, but the Democratic contest was
in doubt with r. L. Cochran ahead.
In Arkansas, Gov. J. Marion Fut-
rell apparently won the Democratic
nomination for second term, while
in Idaho, Gov. Ben c. Ross, Democrat,
the first chief executive to campaign
for third term, was far ahead of
his nearest competitor. Frank l..
Stephan, former State attorney gen.
eral, was well ahead in the race for
the Republican nomination.
Donahey Fight Bitter.
The victory of former Gov. Donahey
followed one of the most bitter primary
campaigns within the memory of
Ohio political veterans. White con-
ceded the nomination to Donahey
early today. Postmaster General Far
ley congratulated Donahey and hailed
him as IAN ardent and enthusiastic
supporter" of the new deal. The mes
sage said:
Congratulations on your victory
When you come to the Senate in
January backed as you will be by the
united Democracy of Ohio, I am GER
tain the progressive legislation of the
Roosevelt administration will find in
you an ardent and enthusiastic sup
porter. Sincere regards
