HOWARD FUNDS
DISCUSSED

Adequate appropriations for
Howard University have been
asked by DR.. Mordecai w. john
son, president of the institution,
before the recent hearings on
the Interior Department esti-
mates for 1885, before the House
subcommittee on appropriations.
DR.. johnson declared as a re-
suit of historical conditions, the
colored people of the United
States are not admitted to State
universities supported by State
and Federal funds, and no Sepa-
rate universities are established
from public funds to serve them.
AS a result of this abnormal
relationship there is a serious
shortage of higher educational
facilities for colored people of
the United States.
In reporting the bill Of the
Interior Department to the House
of Representatives, the Commit
tee on Appropriations recon-
mended an appropriation of $685.
900 for the school year of 1885.
This appropriation is $487 500
less than the amount Of last
wear.

DietD of the 100000 ransom kid
nGping of EdDGrd G. brenler, st.
Paul banker.
BY THOMAS F. CULLEN
ST. PAUL, Mimi, Jan. %
Q.N.S0 Edward G. Bremen is
alive and will be returned to his
family when the kidnap gang that
"snatched" him feels that the
family will meet their terms with
out equivocation or bargaining.
All indications point to the con.
clusion that this grab" was made
by a mob of steel-nerved criminals
who have the patience to await
thei' own good time in telling the
family what must be done.
They will not temporize nor
negotiate.
Till Time Is Ripe
The terms have been described.
and there remains only the outlin-
ing of the method Of payment
which will be prescribed when the
Snatch artists" are satisfied that
the time is ripe to make the col
lection.
Six days have passed, appar-
emily, without second message
from this band of daylight kid
naperS.
These men well knew their
victim, his habits and his fl
nancial background.
They are undoubtedly ponder
ing method after method OF COL
lection, to ascertain some man
ner by which they can get the
money without risking appre-
henSion.
Ingenuity Required
Ingenuity is required to out
line a plan by which this can
be done in a way which will pre-
vent the authorities from in
terferring, even though the po-
lice may so desire.
This is probably the reason
for their delay in contracting the
family.
They cannot use method
which has heretofore been sue
cessful because the law officers
are equally familiar with previ-
Gus schemes. The gang must
create a new collection plan.
Meanwhile they will protect the
man who will bring to them such
a fortune as is represented by
the ransom demand. They will
not harm an individual who is
worth 100000 to the-l.

Tariff Barrier

British Need

NEW YORK, Jan. % U.SO.
American slang is being used al
together too much in staid old
England and Beverley NicnolS,
English writer of Huntingdonshire,
wants a tariff barrier to keep it
out.
In a letter to the Authors Club,
he complained today that the boys
of his very English town shout
"Oh, yeah" and when a pretty girl
passes along the English lanes,
are prone to say, "Some baby"
Ogden Nash in reply declares
English slang is getting the play
over here, and that something
should be done to stop the P. c..
Wodehouse influence.

HEDGING IS LAID.
To OIL FIRMS

Three big oil companies bid
ding for Navy fuel contracts in
serted hedging clauses" permit
ting them to cancel the contracts
if prices rose as the result of a
devaluated dollar or because of
the NRA.
This was revealed in testimony
of Rear Admiral Christian j.
Peoples, chief Of the Bureau of
Supplies and Accounts, before
the House Appropriations Com
mittee in connection with the
Navy supply bill.
The companies, he said, en-
ployed nearly the same wording
in their hedging clauses. They
were the Standard Oil Company
of New Jersey, the Mexican Pc
troleum Corporation, and the
Colonial Beacon Oil, Company.

Minneapolis "Round-up" in
Underworld Cited; Receipt
of Notes in Bottle Denied

ST. PAUL, Mimi, Jan. % GIN.
S0.-Amid conflicting reports that
contact has been established with
the kidnapers of Edward G..
Bremen, wealthy banker, author
tiles expressed mingled fear and
hope today for the safety Of the
victim held for 100000 ransom.
Bremen today had been missing
for six days, yet the family per-
sisted in denials that word has
reached them from the kidnapers
since the day the banker disap-
peared.
Reports persist that Bremen
will be returned to his family
soon.
'Ad' Puzzles Police
Police continued to be consider
ably baffled by an advertisement
which appeared in Minneapolis
newspapers, reading:
"ROse: Please phone today,
-. " "
One theory was that the ad-
vertisement indicated the family
was willing to pay the ransom on
delivery of Bremen. They reached
this conclusion by reversing the
initials, ID. o. c." to &c. o. D."
Meanwhile neither city, county
nor Federal officials were taking
any active steps in running down
the gang. They were standing
by to give the family a chance
to deal directly with the captorS.
Adolph Bremen, father of the
victim and an influential Demo
cratic political leader, has pro-
vided the 100000 ransom money
in old bills. But friends of the
Bremen family declared the money
will not be paid until definite
assurance is received that the
banker is alive.
Two Notes Denied
Reports that two notes had
been received from the kidnapers,
both bearing the signatures OF
the banker, and showing ne was
alive and we'll met with denialS
by the father as well as police
and Federal Department OF
Justice officials.
It was reported that the notes,
one addressed to Adolph Bremen
and the other to Walter w.
MaGee, friend and confidante of
the missing man, were contained
in a milk bottle that was hurled
through a window at the home
Of DR.. H. T. Nippert, the Bremen
family physician.
DR.. Nippert, while admitting the
bottle hurling incident, denied
there were any notes.
Police Impatient
It was reported that large
sedan drew up before DR.. Nip
pert's home shortly before mid
night, flashed its lights on and
of twice, and rolled away after
receiving an answering light
signal from the Nippert front
porch. Reports were that Bremen
would be freed within "a hours.
Police and Federal agents are
admittedly impatient at their en-
forced inactivity, but are fearful
that any move to take the case
in their own hands might result
in harm to Bremen.
Indications that the police may
attempt to launch a manhunt
irrespective of the wishes of the
elder Bremen were seen in the
fact that Minneapolis authorities
began a roundup of underworld
characters for questioning. But
no arrests were made.

Horace Hughes Says Veteran
After Seeing Body; Black
Sedan of Mystery Found

HARRISBURG, Pa, Nov. 28
T.N.SO State police made rapid
strides today in their efforts to
penetrate the mystery surrounding
the deaths of three girls at Car
Isle and a man and woman found
shot to death at DuncanSville.
A black 1929 Pontiac sedan,
sought as the vehicle by which the
group may have travelled over the
visiting tourist camps, was found
at Peach's Garage, at McVeytoWn,
near LeWiStoWn, Pa.
Identified AS Hughes
The bodv of the man involved
in the mystery was identified at
Duncanville today as that of
Horace Hughes, of San Francisco,
and Napa, Calf, by Larry Carney,
34-year-old World War veteran OF
Philadelphia.
Carney said he was certain the
man found dead with woman in
a railroad flag stop station at
Spring Meadow, Duncanville, Sat
urday was the person he knew as
Horace Hughes in California and
whom he talked with in Phlladel
ptia on November 10.
Carney was unable to identify
the woman in-the case.
Woman Unknown to Him
The woman, Carney said, may be
the person Hughes told him he in
tended to marry during their con-
Versation at Philadelphia.
Later Carney left for Carlisle to
view the bodies of three girls he
thinks may be daughters of
Hughes.
During their talk on a Phila-
delphia street, Carney said
Hughes told him the woman and
his three children were with him.
Hughes also expressed his inten-
ton of going to a Philadelphia
theater, the war veteran said.
Tickets for a Philadelphia theater
were found in the clothing Of
the man at Spring Meadow.
Despite the discovery of Hor-
ace Hughes working in a San
Francisco store, Carney insisted
his Identification was correct.
