YOUTH CONFESSES
$2a,0DO THREAT
Roland E. Markell, Fl, Is
Held in Attempted ExtOr.
ton Plot in Buffalo.
BY the Associated Press.

BUFFALO, N. Y, December 30
Roland E. Markell, 2l-year-old mes
senger of Rochester, confessed today
to authorship of a series Of extortion
letters demanding total of $25O,0oo
from Frank E. Gannett, newspaper
publisher, and Louis A. Wehle, brewer,
both of Rochester. during the last II
months.
Markell was arrested at his Roches-
ter home late Saturday night. Fed
eral District Attorney George A. Grobe
said the youth made signed confess
sion today.
Death Threatened.
The extortion letters, made de-
mands varying from $25,000 to $780,
600. The writer threatened both Can
nett and wehle with death if they
failed to meet the demands, and
threatened also to kidnap their chill
dren.
Gannett, publisher Of a chain Of
newspapers, is the father of daugh-
ter, IL and a son years younger.
Wehle, who is president of the Gen.
esee Brewing Co. of Rochester, has
two sons. 18 and Is.
Altogether, six letters were sent to
Wehle and four to Gannett. Neither
paid a cent, according to George v.
Doherty, in charge of the Buffalo Of
flee of the Federal Bureau of Investi-
cation.
In a formal statement, Gannett
praised the G-men and police officers
for their marvellous work in solving
the case"
Wehle's statement, in similar vein,
detailed the manner in which the let
ters were received, the first arriving
by post late in July of last year.
Although Markets. arrest was made
by Federal men, Doherty gave much
credit for the success of the investi-
cation to Rochester police.
Phone Calls Traced.
Many traps were laid for the extor-
zionist, Police Chief Henry T. Copen-
hagen said today, but each time the
letter writer slipped through. On the
night of December 20, however, a series
of telephone calls, which police traced,
led to Markell's eventual arrest.
Those calls came from q man who
said he knew who was responsible for
the extortion letters to Gannett and
Wehle. Six such calls came into police
headquarters before detectives caught
up with the caller. It was Markell.
Detectives said he was intoxicated,
and he was booked on that charge.
A Judge in City Court released
Markell on a suspended sentence De-
cember II, but only after detectives
had taken samples Of his handwriting.
A comparison of the handwriting with
that of the extortion notes was fol-
lowed by the arrest Saturday Of
Markell at his home.

BORAH AIDES SEEK
OHIO DELEGATES
Senator Expected to Act
Definitely in Time to
Upset Others.
BY G. GOULD LINCOLN.

Definite plans for electing Borah
delegates In Ohio to the Republican
National Convention were made today.
After conferring with Senator Borah
for two hours, a delegation consisting
of former Senator McCulloch, Daniel
E. Morgan. former city manager for
Cleveland, and Julius Cohn. an attor-
ney at Cleveland, issued the following
statement:
I'VE think we can say with certainty
that Borah will have delegates in the
national convention from Ohio. Sen
ator Borah has more strength by far
with the voters in Ohio than any other
candidate whose name has been men
toned
Ready to Go to Work.
eve believe it nothing less than
good politics to have that sentiment
represented in the national conven-
ton. 1t is our purpose to see that it
is represented We are not prepared
without further consultation with
friends at home to state in detail our
program.
Senator Borah has left the matter
entirely with his friends and we are
going back and go to work.
IF to accomplish his purpose it
will be deemed necessary for Senator
Borah to enter the Ohio primary, he
will so enter. A decision as to this
matter will be reached at an early
date"
Under the Ohio Constitution and
the State law relating to primaries,
presidential candidates must give
their assent before their names are
entered in the primary.
Two Methods Open.
There are two ways in which a
presidential candidate may obtain
delegates in the State: First, by filing
in the presidential preferential pri-
mary, and, second, by giving assent
for the election of delegates pledged
to him.
In either case it is necessary for the
candidate to give his definite assent.
The primary in Ohio falls on May
IL and the assent Of candidates and
the naming of delegates must take
place at least so days prior to the
primary.
Prize State.
Ohio, considered a pivotal State
politically, is prize to which candi-
dates for presidential nomination look
with keen interest. Leaders Of the
Republican organization in the State
have sought to agree on sending an

TARD|EU RESIGNS
IN SANCTION FIGHT
Quits Republican Center
Party in Protesting 0p-
position to Laval.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
PARIS, December 30.-French in
ternal diSsension over penalizing Italy
for her Ethiopian war resulted today
in the resignation of former Premier
Andre Tardieu from the Republican
Center party, which he once headed.
Tardieu quit the party in protest to
the action of the present leader, Paul
Reynaud, in voting against Premier
Pierre Laval after urging that France
take Great Britain's side against Italy.
He also opposed Reynaud's advocacy
of devaulation.
The former premier blamed Great
Britain for what he said was her per-
sistant refusal to join in preliminary
Organization sanctions" presumably
by failure to accept a French plan to
create permanent international
police force under the League Of Ma
tions in 1882.
Injustice TO Italy Charged.
Britain's abrupt reversal" in the
Italo-E Ethiopian affair. Tardieu con-
tended, constitutes an injustice for
Italy. a peril to peace and threat Of
failure for the League covenant"
His resignation was the first reper-
cussion of the international situation
in Rightist ranks.
A joint effort by France and Bri-
tain to bring Germany into Euro
pean collective security system was
forecast today in semi-official re-
action to the recent Paris and Lon
don foreign policy debates.
Premier Pierre Laval's definition in
the Chamber of Deputies of Frances
attitude toward Germany as based
entirely on collective security system
and Prime Minister Stanley Baldwin's
similar references in the House of
Commons were interpreted as the end
Of independent negotiations with the
Reich.
The German press greeted Premier
LaValS declaration, urging Franco
German understanding, with lengthy
comment, but most newspapers seemed
skeptical that it would stand testing. -
(The Reich press pointed out that
Laval wanted to make friends with
Germany and Russia simultaneously
and held this to be contradictory, as
serting Franco-Russian friendship
would be against Germany
References were made in the semi
official Temps to recent visits by Brit
ish Ambassador Sir Eric Phipps to
Adolf Hitler and other Berlin officials
as attempts to confirm British appre-
hension over growing German arma-
mentS.
Collective Security Sole Terms.
This newspaper said the British
Ambassador told the Nazi government
no further agreements would be made
with Germany except on terms of
collective security.
The newspaper hinted that the
Anglo German naval accord was the
last of that kind of bilateral negotia-
tions
"On the other hand, the door is
open to Germany, both by Britain
and France, for policy contemplating
the entry of Germany into the collec-
tive security system" the Temps said.
Moreover, it can be ignored no
longer in Berlin that this policy is,
by the force of events, intended to
lead Germany back to the League Of
Nations"

SAN FRANCISCO, December 30
Lieut. Gen Hunter Liggett. 7S, one
time Indian fighter, hero of the
Marne and commander of the Army
of Occupation in Germany. died today
in Ietterman Hospital at the Preside

Gen. Liggett had been in the hos
pital since January, 1885. His wife,
Mrs. Harriet Lane Liggett. herself
in fraii health, remained there also
during the long months Of his last
illness. They had no children.
Though he retired in 1921 with his
pre-war status of major general. he
regained the higher ranking in 1880
through an'act of Congress.
Since the generals retirement, he
and hi; wife have lived quiet, civil
ian life here. A little more than a year
ago they took a pleasure trip to
Hawaii.
Gen. Liggett's active career with
the United States Army began with
actual participation in battle within
the year that marked his graduation
from the United States Military Acad-
emy. 1879. In his first engagement he
led a platoon of the 5th Infantry
against hostile Sioux Indians on Little
Porcupine Creek, Mont, and despite
his youth and lack of experience as
an Indian fighter was victorious. He
then was only % years old.
In the following 80 years he was
elevated to lieutenant general COM
manding an army of more than $780,

tains many pages devoted to statistical
data, but shows a series Of rapid as

commander of the 5th Infantry: in
the Philippines during the insurrec-
tion, and in the United States on the
general staff, as president of the War
College, as commander of the Western
Department, and at numerous other
posts.
1t was from command of the West
