 Bremen dropped from sight without a warning, some time aft CT a. m., Wednesday, when he left for his office. No witnesses to the abduction have been found. His custom was to drive his daughter Betty, to the Summit school before going downtown. He did this We'd nesday. The seizure, it is believed, occurred 0 short time later, around 9 a. m.
 Two hours elapsed. Bremer's ab- sence from the bank was noticed, at il a. m., the office telephone OL NditCI "uSCSv Soii- tractor and close friend of Bremer, rang. A strang voice spoke:
 "Wo've got your pal, Ed Breme CT. Don't get excited. Go to the back door of your office. You'Il find fur ther instructions there. Eds auto mobile is out at the Dale street reservoir"
 At the click of the callers re- ceiver. Magee raced to the rear of his office and picked up note, crudely typewriter, but legible.
 The note instructed him to raise $200,O0 and wait" He was not to notify police. The money should be in small bills, without consecu- tive serial numbers. Death awaited Bremen if the money was not paid.
 Magee communicated with mem- bers of the family. then went after Bremer's automobile, which he found abandoned at q reservoir two miles north of the city limits.
 The Bremen family dropped a curtain over what. If anything, had transpired since then.
 First to start investigation of the Kidnapping was Inspector of Detec- tives Charles J. Tierney. diminutive head of St. PauIs nti-kidnaping" squad.
 There is local hand in this kidnapping, just like there was in the Hamm case" said Tierney. "The snatchers knew too much about Hamm to be outsiders and they know too much about Bremen, from all I can gather. The same gang pulled both jobs"

OLD INVENTORY OF ESTATE WAS
 FILED TO-DAY
Should Have Gone to PrO= bate About Eleven
 Years Ago

The inventory of an estate which should have been filed eleven years ago appeared in probate court to- day and was accepted by Judge Dennic J. Slavin. The long delay was due evidently to a husbands presumption that the property of his wife became his on her death an dthere was no necessity of ob- taining an official sanction of the act. As q division of the estate became invilved on the death of the husband. potential heirs were obliged to have tlfe entire matter adjusted in probate court.
 Mrs. Maria Sansinero Villano died on April 22. 1922. No will was found and her h usband was re- garded as the sole heir On Novem- Der :, 1883, Antonio Villano died adn six children looked for a set tlement. The survivors include John, Mary F. Nicholas J.. Rocco J., William J. Villano and Mrs. Mamie Bolzano.
 An appraisal of the estate of the wife was first conducted. At the time of her demise she held half interest in a piece of property on West Main street, valued at $8,000.
 An inventory of the husbands holdings included half interest in the same piece of property, land in Waterville valued at $2,0O0 and land in Thomaston worth $500. The deceased also held a mort gage of $500, had $1,S24.29 de- posted 1 nthe Waterbury Savings Bank and $54.32 in the former Merchants Trust company. The husbands estate was valued at $S,477.11.

RUDY WEPT ON
 THE SHOULDER OF ALICE FAYE
She COmfOrted Him When Domestic Woes Were
 Narrowing Him So

Los Angeles. Jan 1S-(UP)--A figurative shoulder upon which Rudy Vallee wept because of his domestic woes was exhibited today by Alice Faye, young singer and actress. as the boundary-line of her relationship with the crooner.
 Just a confidante was all that she ever was to the husband of Fay Webb Vallee. Miss Faye declared in denying Mrs Vallee's amended complaint naming q dozen cities in which she said her husband and Miss Faye were gilty of mlscon- duct.
 Rudy was represented as a for lorIl figre who loved his wife to the point of distraction but who received only rebuffs in return. Frustrated and morose, he came to her for sympathy and got it, the young singer said.
 His heart and mind were on his wife and at no time on any other girl" she said.
 A third "Janc Doe" was added to the list of Rudy's alleged amours in Mrs Vallee's amended suit. TO which the crooners local attorney, Samuel $. Zagon, snapped

New York, Jan 1S-(UP)- Trading quieted down on the stock exchange today as buying became more selective. Most of the changes in price were fractional.
 Various groups came to the fore at different periods of the session. Rails were bid up under the lead of Southern Pacific and New York Central. Sugars had spurt with gains ranging to more than 10 points in some of the preferred stocks. Packing issues, notably the Armour and Wilson issues were in demand.
 New demand came into the mo- tors and motor equipments. Cop pers were active, featured by An- aconda and Kennecott. Radio Cor poration was the active favorite in the communications.
 Favorable car loadings reports aided the rails; more hopeful Cuban situation furnished impetus for the rise in sugars and in Cuban bonds: reports that several auto mobile companies planned to step up operations brought some buying and covering into the auto shares, while reported merger helped two of the equipments. Copper rose asNith the metal for which there

 Washington, Jan 1S-(UP)- Capitalization of tariff powers in the hands of President Roosevelt is looked for by American trade negotiators to give this country a great weapon in trade wars which are now threatening from several quarters, an administration official informed the United Press to-day.
 The United States is not inter- ested in trade wars which are threatening between France and Great Britain, France and Ger many, or between other nations, it was stated. Trade wars, like any other war, are regarded by officials here as destructive in the long run. however much temporary trade advantage might accrue to American products as a result of the conflict betwen the principals. The United States is following a constructive, rather than q destruc- tive policy, 1t was emphatically stated.
 The "Yankee horse trading of which President Roosevelt recent ly spoke in connection with recip- rocal trade negotiations, is expect
  part in this constructive policy. Greater flexibility in our tariff sys- tenn would materially assist these "horse trading efforts, adninistra- ton officials said. and permit the United States to meet other na- tions on even terms. President Roosevelt is expected to ask for ariff making powers in special message to Congress, which is to go to the Capitol late this month or early in February.
 Bargaining already has proved it's effectiveness in terms of ex- ports of otherwise unsaleable sur pluses of agriculture products.
 In negotiations with France for larger liquor quotas the negOtia- ting committee obtained from France guarantee to purchase approximately 1,000,000 bushels of American apples and pears. There hat Ys,u rlrnf in ciUht

FEDERAL QUIZ
ANENT BANKING,
TAXES IMPENDS
Secretary of Treasury to
Undertake Study of
Problems Soon.
BY RICHARD L. GRIDLEY
United Press STAFF Correspondent

WASHINGTON, Oct. 5.-Studies
to determine the administrations
banking and taxation policies in the
next session of congress are to be
undertaken by Secretary of Treas
ury Henry Morgenthau Jr. within
the next few weeks.
His recommendations are likely to
be based on comprehensive survey
of the two problems by his fourteen
man brain trust" which complet-
ed its work this week.
Suggestions made by this brain
trust" were guarded closely today
pending their examination by Mr..
Morgenthau. but it was fumored
widely that they urged new govern
mental control over banking and
steps toward a more general sales
tax.
Committees Await Word
Congressional committees, mean
while, were understood to be await
ing word of the administrations in
tent 'ons on these subjects before
formulating definite policies. This
is particularly true of tax matters,
as congressional circles have soft
pedaled" the subject presumably be-
cause of the impending fall cleo
tons.
Mr.. Morgenthau has indicated an
open mind" on both banking and
taxation problems until he has had
an opportunity to consider the re-
ports. Many observers, however,
have indicated it would be difficult
for the administration to avoid the
necessity of higher taxes to meet
recovery expenditures and further
important changes in banking laws.
The administrations policy with
result to taxes and prospects of
balancing Of the federal budget are
not likely to become known until
President RooSevelt's budget mes
sage to Congress next January. The
President has indicated that in the
interim, Daniel w. Bell, the treas
ury's commissioner of accounts,
would continue as acting budget di-
rector.
Close Cooperation Seen
This arrangement was expected
to make for extremely close CO.
operation among the White House,
the treasury and the bureau of the
budget on budget matters.
According to Secretary Morgen-
thau, the administration has not yet
decided whether taxes would be
boosted, lowered or continued at
present levels. Despite whatever
changes are made in the rates,
drastic revision of present tax
methods is in store.
Proposals for increased taxes are
likely to meet with widespread OPP
position in the next congress, par
ticularly if moves are made toward
widening the present form of limited
sales tax which include levieS on
such products as gasoline, oil. auto
mobiles, parts. tobacco and other
products,

vanced fractions to more than ?
points on the Stock Exchange in the
early trading today. Curb prices
joined the rise; bonds improved, led
by amusements and rails: grains
small advances were noted
in silk, hides and copper.
An increase in volume accom-
panied the rally, but it was not OF
proportions to encourage large-scale'
commitments. News included sew
eral favorable items. although none
was outstanding, and traders we're
by no means sure a turn in the
market had come despite predictions
of some of the chart readers.
On the favorable side we're a
statement by Donald r. Richberg
that the NRA might scrap price
control and lift the ban on produc-
ton; end of the gasoline price war
in east Texas; sharp gains in mail
order sales; improvement in general
retail business which brought short
covering into stocks companies Of
which operate in that state.
Railroad stocks and bonds were
in fair demand, the latter scoring
gains ranging to more than 2 points.
Chemical issues we're up / to more
than 2 points; Spiegel, May. Stern
rose 215 to 621s in the mail order
division.
U. S. Smelling gained 2 in a firm
silver group. U. S. Steel was up a.
point. ChrySler gained point to
35A in the motors, where Auburn
rose nearly 2 points. Case was Iso
nearly 2 points in the farm equip
ments. Continental Can made a
