PARIS ROMANCE
AIRED ANEW

DETROIT, Mich, June II
G.N.S0.-The alleged Partisan
romance of Frank Granger
Smith, 78, wealthy retired jeweler,
is due for another airing in court.
as a result of a re-filed breach
of promise suit in behalf of Mile.
Leonide Fagard, Partisan fashion
writer.
The new suit, demanding $780,
900 heartbalm, is similar to a
100000 action dismissed without
prejudice in 1888 by Judge Theo-
dore j. Richter.
The declaration in the original
suit charged that Mr.. Smith met
the French woman on an ocean
liner in 1928, made love to her
in Paris, and promised to marry
her. Instead, he married Mrs.
Edna Diamond, from whom he
was divorced in 1880.
Louis c.. Wurzer, Mr.. Smiths
counsel, said: O
"Mr. Smith gave Mile. Fagard
$4,000 in 1928 to release him
from his marriage promise. He
has not seen her since, and in
fact saw her for only 20 days
in 1928"

essential.
Richmond B. Keech, also Of
the commission, echoed Mr.. Ell
gems statements. He also assured
the taxi men that as soon as the
District appropriation bill with
it's rider becomes law, authority
to fix uniform taxi rates would
become a reality.
Mr.. Keech believes that this
legislation will be passed within
month, and promised Mr..
HohenSee that he and the other
taxi operators of the District will
have ample opportunity to air
their problems at that time.
Urges Taxi Boycott
Urging a boycott on all Dia-
mond and Union Cab Company
cabs, Representative Jack Nichols
CD of Oklahoma, in a speech
on the floor of the House today,
severely criticized the District
Commissioner and the Public
Utilities Commission for lack of
action in the cab strike situation.
He blamed the cab strike and
the increased rates on the Dia-
mond and Union Cam companies,
and appealed to taXicab users to
patronize cars of the companies
which have not raised rates.

viding for regulating instead of
abolishing utility holding compa-
MES, while Senator Hastings CRD

NRA BETRAYED
LABOR, SAYS
HOUSE UNIT
Committee Report on Wagner
Bill Says Section IA
Never Was Effective
international News Service

Workers throughout the nation
feel the Government has betrayed
them through failure to keep its
promises under the NRA, the
House Labor Committee reported
today in a formal plea for enact.
ment of the Wagner bill creating
a national labor relations board.
The report said:
"The result of nOn-enforce-
ment of section IA Of the Re.
cOvery Act has been to breed a
widespread and growing bitter
ness on the part of workers
who feel, with much juStifica-
ton, that they have been given
fair words, but betrayed by the
Government in the execution of
its promises.
Time after time employees
who have sought to organize in
pathetic reliance upon section
IA have found themselves dis
criminated against by the EN-.
anu appears W Vic
Government for redress have
been in van"
The committee warned that
existing labor conditions will be-.
come d menace to industrial
peace" unless remedial legislation
is enacted.
The House committee placed the
board under the Department of
Labor instead of making it an in.
dependent executive body as all
thorized by the Senate. The con.
nection, however, was character,
ICED as nominal" and the com
mittee said it's independent &C
ton would not be impaired.
A minority report by Repre-
sentative Marcantonio (R), New
York, opposed placing the board
under the Labor Department. He
said:
"That such an agency should
be free from any other execu-
tive branch of the Government
has been the recognized policy
of Congress-"

SNATCH RACKET.
REVEALED AS
STUPID
Quick Solution Of kidnapping
Cases Cited as Proof
Crime Doesn't Pay
international News Service

The quick solution Of the
WeyerhaeuSer case was cited
here today as positive proof that
kidnapping is the most stupid form
of crime of the predatory
character.
Ten days after 9-year-old
George Weyerhaeuser, of Tacoma.
Wash, was released by his
captors for 100000 ransom, two
of the principals are under arrest
and a third has been so effec-
lively identified that his arrest
is only a question of time.
In all of the major kidnapings
since the crime was made a Fed
eral offenSe as a result Of the
Lindbergh baby case, with the ex-
ception of that of Mrs. Alice Stoll,
of Louisville, KY, the principals
have been arrested. Even in the
Stoll case two accompliceS, the
wife and father of Thomas H.
Robinson, jr., the accused, face
trial for abduction. But so far
young Robinson has escaped cap
ture.
Third Arrest Near E
Without making any pred1c'
lions, agents of j. Edgar Hoover,
chief of the Division of Investiga-
ton, believe they are closing
around the third figure in the
WeyerhaeuSer case-William Ma.
han, 80, who has a substantial
criminal record. Mahan escaped
police at Butte, Mont, Sunday,
leaving behind an automobile con-
tanning $4,000 of the ransom
money.
Two other persons, o man and
his wife, have been arrested and,
according to Hoover, have con-
fessed to the crime. The Depart
ment of Justice said the confes-
sions in detail would not be made
public, in all probability, until
after presented to the grand jury
or at the trial of the accused.
Since two of the initial kidnap-
ings-that of William Weiss,
Philadelphia liquor dealer. who
was murdered, and the Lindbergh
child, who was also Slain-prac.
tically a million dollars in ransom
has been collected by kidnapers.
Some portion of this money has
been recovered.
Only Three at Large
In the Lindbergh case $4,000
ransom was paid, but the record
cases we're: the 100000 payments
in the Edward G. Bremen case OF
st. Paul, and the same amounts
in the Charles F. Urschel case in
Oklahoma City and the Weyer-
haeuser kidnapping.
In view of the success of the
Department of Justice, with the
cooperation of local police. in
solving kidnapings, Government
officials expressed surprise why
criminals continue to select this
type of crime.
OF the important kidnapers
only Mahan, Robinson and Elvin
Karpis, the latter wanted in
connection with the Bremen case,
are at large. The rumor that
Karpis has been shot to death
by police in the Middle West has
been discounted although it still
is a possibility. Another dis
counted rumor has Robinson com.
hitting suicide. Mahan's arrest
is expected at any time.

Omen and Boy Inspect
House Used BY KidnaperS

SPOKANE, Wash, June II
G.N.S0.-G-men made a thor
ough search today of the dilapi.
dated brown bungalow with two
gables where nine-yeaG-old George
Weyerhaeuser was held a kidnap
victim.
If the Department of Justice
agents uncovered any clues to aid
in conviction of Harmon VALLEY
and his wife, and others in the
"Egoist" kidnap gang, they kept
the discoveries for court presenta-
ton.
Last night the boy who was
released for 100000 ransom &C
companied Omen to the hideout
house. Crowds gathered around
the bungalow in the South Hill
residential section.
After inspecting the house for
half an hour George was taken to
a machine and returned to his
home in Tacoma, approximately
800 miles from here.
Residents in the South Hill dis
trict, particularly a grocer, def
nitely identified photographs OF
Valley and william Mahan as two
of the men who occupied the
house. The grocer who made the
identificationS is L. T. Lockhart.
He said:
'They came here with their
wives
Neighbors said they paid little
attention to the persons who came
and went because the house had
been rented chiefly by bootleggers
for the last two years, and they
supposed this last group was of
the same type.

AS the second day of the trial

gathered at the court as usual.
They came, not so much because
of interest in the eX-convict b.
land, but to hear whatever teSti-
mony might pertain to the blonde
Anne Lyddane, who goes before
the court at later day.
They had heard racketeers and
ex-convicts as we'll as police Of
ficers and Government experts
link Anne'S name to the murder
conspiracy yesterday. They had
heard notes read that might lead
one to believe that she had wanted
to have slain her chubby husband.
In the court were persons who
hoped to hear her name linked with
that of Arthur Beall, of barnes
town, who the State contends was
the cause of the woman's reputed
anxiety to rid herself of the man
she married 10 years ago.
There also were persons who do
not believe Anne Lyddane guilty
of the offense with which she is
charged.

HOLLYWOOD, Calf, June
11.-Hope nobody don't appeal
this kidnapping case to the Su.
preme Court, for it certainly
interferes with State rights.
AS they have just decided that
the Federal Government has no
more standing than Santa
Claus, why they might make
'em turn 'em loose. It kinder
shows that the Government can
do something.
They ought to turn all crime
over to 'em and take it out Of
local politics but all they have
to do to find out who the
criminal is nowadays, just find
the one that's been pardOned
the most times. These two guys
seemed to just have made one.

an hourly rate of 50 is given.
In isolated instances it was
found that a number of drivers
of these companies were still
operating on the 35-50-70-90-cent
rate decided upon at yesterdays

been warned to desist.

Denounces Davis
Adolphe Hohensee, business
manager of the Union Cab
Drivers Association, announced
bitterly that the Diamond Cab
chief, Harry Davis, had "tricked"
the drivers into accepting the
new increased rate.
Appearing at a meeting OF the
Public Utilities Commission this
morning he added that at a
conference early today, Represen-
tative Virginia JenckeS CD
Indiana, of the House District
Committee, had assured him that
she will seek to have President
Roosevelt intervene in the local
taxi situation.
According to L. R. Hohensee,
Mrs. Jenckes will also seek action
in the House to forestall the rate
increases.
At the office of Mrs. Jenckes,
both these statements were con-
firmed. Her plan, added a spokes-
man. is to establish permanent
fact-finding body which would
have jurisdiction over all taxi
problems in the District of Colum-

Girl Hunted in Butte
As Mahan HideOut Clue

BUTTE, Mont, June IL u.N.SO.
Montana highways patrolmen and
Government agents today guarded
every roadway leading out of
Butte in the belief that William
Mahan, "a, member of the gang
that kidnapped George Weyer-
haeuser in Tacoma. Wash, would
attempt to flee the city.
Butte has become "too hot" for
Mahan, who, according to the
theory of the police, has been
hiding here since early Sunday
when he was seen and recognized
by Detectives F.. e. Mooney and
Frank Roe.
Every automobile leaving Butte
during the night was stopped and
carefully searched. Blockading of
the city was a comparatively easy
matter. because of it's location at
the bottom of a gulch. All travel
West passes through one gateway.
which was heavily guarded.
Escape Blocked
Another blockade at the crest
of the Continental Divide, $500
feet above sea Lowell on the road
to Helena, effectually blocked all
traffic in that direction. No other
highway was passable for auto
mobiles.
The only alternative for a
fugitive, authorities pointed out,
would be to go into the rough
mountain country on foot or
horseback.
Because of the ease with which
any one individual can be bottled
up in Butte, fleeing criminals
usually avoid this city. Pat
Grove, kidnaper Of the Cudahy
child in Omaha IS years ago, as
well as several other fugitives who
have stumbled into Butte, were
caught here.
The organization that has been
set up among local police and
sheriffs throughout western Mon
tana in an effort to capture
Mahan is said to be the most
elaborate since vigilante days Of
10 years ago when road agents
were caught and hanged in many
Montana communities.
Possibility that Mahan, if he
escaped from the city, might
have taken refuge in a particu'
larly rough, heavily wooded
region between Butte and Deer
Lodge was suggested by Lou b.
decker, head of the State high
way patrol.
Worked on Road
He revealed that during the
period Mahan was held in the
Montana State prison at Deer
Lodge he was "farmed out" with
other prisoners and was per-
mitted to work outdoors on the
Lockhart ranch.
This ranch lies east of Deer
Lodge and west of Butte and
adjoins rough, hilly country just
north of the main highway. If
Mahan were in this area, which
was searched yesterday by Gov.
eminent agents, he would have
many hiding places within an
hours walk of a main highway
and two transcontinental rail
lines, Bodecker said.
Woman Sought
While Government agents and
other officers followed every tip,
Butte police intensively searched
for a woman, a former resident of
Butte who was known to have be-
friended Mahan when he was ar.
rested here in 1927.
Jim Woods, beer parlor pro-
prietor, positively identified Mahan
as one of his patrons about mid
night Saturday. Woods said the
man paid for three beers with a
$40 bill. THE note was passed
