faster and faster it went, and I knew

Hoover said tracing Of ransom

THE largest ransoms paid were

'Urschel has recovered 1928, 730, but
Bremen less than $1,000.
Money Quickly Spent.
Casually ransom money is rapidly
spent in typical criminal fashion-on
vice. gambling and articles Of luxury"
An example of this, Hoover said, was
the $50 900 paid for release Of Charles
Boettcher, I'd, wealthy Denver broker.
"Our men found $500 Of this
cached In the gang hideout on q
Dakota farm. The remainder had
been dissipated by the six persons in
dicted."
More fortunate was City Manager
H. F. McElroy of Kansas City, Mo,
who paid 1000 for the release of his
daughter, Mary, who recently made a
sensational plea for the life Of her
abductor, Walter MCGEE.
$500 found on MCGEE.

Hoover said. Another $1,000 was
taken from the housekeeper at the

Agents found $73,250 in cotton

Hoover said. Harvey J. Bailey, one

Tex.
When Clara Feldman was arrested
she had $1.100 Of the extorted money.
Another $500 was circulated in
Minnesota banks after 1t paid for 125

More OF the money turned up else

Workers Seek to Reach $35 900
Goal by Tuesday, With

With nearly $4,000 already col
lected, United Jewish Appeal workers
were preparing today an intensive
canvass for funds over the weekend

The new contribution figure was
made public yesterday at meeting

that while the sum already exceeds

tributions.
Drive workers will make further

Taking the floor during debate on
the A. A. A. bill, Long referred to

denied further P. W. A. grants, and
commented it served to let the anti
