 Resolution Brings Credit to Organization

Washington, D. C.-The ques- ton in Washington is no longer whether Congress will adopt legis- lation taking the profit out of war; it is only a matter of what form the legislation will take.

 In at least one of the communi- cations. The Democrat learned to-
 day, the life or Kidnapping of the
 East Mountain resident is threaten
 ed, while threats were also made against fis property.
 Refused to Comment
 MT DeBisschop, questioned this
 morning, did not deny that he had received the threatening missives
 but refused to make any comment,
 other than to say. "It's entirely out
 of my hands"
 Postmaster James T. Kelley, to
 whom postal law charges are or-
 dinarily referred, declined to make
 any answers to direct questions put
 to him. Its absolutely impossible for me to say a word, in my posi-. tion," declared MT Kelley. but he likewise did not deny that he had been informed of the threatening letters.
 It was reported that MT DeBis. schop had made a complaint, but Chief Inspector William F. Keeg- an denied explicitly any know
 ledge of the threatening letters When asked of such a complaint were 1t received, would be referred to the postmaster, he said that such was the usual procedure. Carries Heavy Penalty Whether or not the letters were sent in a spirit of would-be humor
 it is known that they will not be re- garded in that light by the govern. ment. should a detailed investiga- tion be centered in this city. Send ing of threatening letters carries . heavy penalty under federal postal regulations, while the Lindbergh law, of congressional origin, car ries penalties up to life imprison. ment for the mailing of letters threatening Kidnapping.
 Postal law violations, under or. dinary procedure, are referred tt the inspectors on the staff of tht post office department.

 in the United States.
 A total of 13,193 newspapers, 2,084 of which were dalies. were published in the 1895 newspaper
 directory published annually by N. W. Aver and Son.
 The gain of this year was in marked contrast with 1888 which with 1892. Combining figures from both United States and Canada, the directory reported a total of 257 new newspapers with 12S con- , solicitations, making the net gain 129 for both countries. The net gain in the United States alone
 was 123. The gain included 33 dailies.
 The figures revealed that the southern states were the news- paperman's best field as far as new business is concerned. That
 section reported a net gain of 39,
 with Texas leading with IS. The
 Middle-Atlantic States reported a gain of 26, and IS new newspapers in New Jersey. Wisconsin with sev-
 en led the Middle Western States

 While the number of newspapers

I visible from the earth.
 The five-year-old Lockheed- Vega monoplane could not be equipped with retractable landing gear and skids and a propeller landing, eliminated this disadvan- tage.
 The plane was a picture of me- cf1anical fitness. Stored in its fuel tanks were 380 gallons of gaso- line, enough, the flyer estimated, to keep him aloft 10 hours. In a test last Sunday, the plane attained 300 miles with the land- ing gear strapped to it's underside. Without the landing gear, Post ex- pected to gain 60 miles per hour.
 The one-eyed Oklahoman under- took 0 second test flight yester- day and upon landing announced:
 "Everything's jake. If I get a good wind behind me, I'll make it."
 Post planned to fly the great cir cle route to New York. That would take him over Jueblo, Colo, St. Joseph, Mo-, Sprihms, H., Ft. Wayne, Ind, and Pittsburgh.
 Weather condition in New York were his only concern. He said 1t did not matter what condition ex- isted in between because adverse Tow" weather would not incvade his higher course. High winds or other storm conditions in New York would make a landing ex- tremely hazardous.
 Barring accident, Post was al- most certain of setting a new west east speed record, now held by Col. Roscoe Turner with a mark of 10 hours, minutes.
 Post said, however, that he was not bent specifically on breaking speed records.
 I'm not after speed in par ticular," he said. If was I'd use a new high speed plane. I hope to break the present transcontinen- tai record in q commercial-t type plane in order to prove my theories as to the advantage of stratos- phere fiyingg."
 At least one commercial airline is ready to undertake regular stratospher passenger fl g h s should Post be successful in blaz- ing the trail.

and went berserk when he thought her well-being was threatened.
 The state, in contrast, portrayed the youth sane, with brilliant mind which not only conceived the extortion plan, but dictated the extortion note. Kennamer killed Gorrell, the state said, because he refused to deliver the nate. Accused Before Crime
 One witness, to whom Gorrell introduced kennamer, testified that Gorrell told him that if ever he were killed, Kennamer. would be "The one that did it." Other witnesses testified Kennamer was a bully.
 Sensation-hungry crowds pack ed the courtroom daily. On the afternoon Kennamer testified they ripped the courtroom door from its hinges and stampeded over po- lice.
 Throughout the trial Kennamer was calm. Near him sat his fa- ther who has a reputation for sternness. Also near him sat Cor relPs father and mother, pr. and Mrs John Gorrell. who wept fre- quently.

 Foley, who began investigation of the case this morning, found that the burglars had toppled the heavy safe from it's wall position so that they might break 1t open from the rear. Police could not understand how neighbors were not aroused by the falling of the safe, for 1t must have hit the floor with a tremendous crash. The, thieves then attacked the rear of the safe and apparently just had 1t cracked open and the money removed when the janitor arrived at the building. It is believed that they fled through the same rear window by which they entered the building.
 The detectives believe the crime was the work of at least three men, for considerable strength was needed to upset the large safe. It was reported late this morning that fingerprints had been found on the safe. but it is not known if they will prove of any value.

 The plane started. The girls asked the pilot to close the door and windows looking back from his compartment to the cabin. The pilot ascended to 4,000 to 5000 feet to get above a thunder storm. Passing from the storm over the channel, he looked back to find the cabin empty. By the time he had returned to Stapleford airdrome to report. the girls broken bodies had been found in a cabbage patch near Upminster, their hands still clasped as they had jumped from theplane, one holding tightly to the others coat.

 Lineups About same
 Lineups for both teams are ex- pented to be about the same as the opening games found them, with the exception of course, of pitching choices. For instance, it is not likely that Field Manager Claude Erskine will call on Dave Turner who lost that 2-to-1 thriller last night, for work again tomorrow.
 Instead, Erskine, who cavorted ir the short-patch against the Legion probably will i'm b the mound against the Elks. Catching him will be Pete Nello. s K
