KIDNAPPED" GIRL
FOUND IN SOUTH.
Gypsy Romance and Intrigue
Said to Figure in Case
of Rose Demetr0.

Gypsy romance and intrigue are
said to have played part in the dis
appearance from Washington on jan
uary 7 of Rose Demetro, IS, which re-
suited yesterday in kidnapping charges
being placed against four brothers and
two sisters in Louisiana, where the
girl was located several days ago.
The girl disappeared from here
while her family was living in the 3400
block Of Georgia avenue. She is the
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Petro De-
metro.
While Washington police scout the
KIDNAPPING theory, they hold grand
larceny warrants, sworn to by the
girls father, for the arrest Of George
Miller and Joseph Miller. in connec-
ton with the alleged disappearance of
S1O5 from a trunk in the girls home
when she disappeared. George Miller
Is the name given by one Of those
under arrest in Louisiana. Meanwhile
a third man. Leo Miller, was arrested
on a similar warrant and brought back
here from New York.
Brother Reports kidnapping.
Some time after the disappearance
of the girl from this city her brother,
Russell, IL. is said to have told his
parents the girl was kidnapped from
Seventh street by some persons who
threw a cloth over her head and took
her away in an automobile.
The parents started on q trail in
search of her and ended it at the
gypsy camp at Lake Charles, La, Sat-
urday night.
The sheriff there and Lake Charles
patrolmen later placed under arrest
the six who gave their names as
George, Randolph, Eli, Alex, Lolo and
Andanna Miller Informed OF the
arrests, the United States marshal's
office at Shreveport ordered the six
held on charges Of violating the Lind
bergh kidnapping law.
Spent $1,000 in Search.
Petro Demetro told authorities at
Lake Charles he had spent more than
$4,000 III a search for his daughter
and travelled over 1000 miles since
they picked up the trail here He i'm
mediately sent word to Attorney Gen.
eral Homer S. Cummings and j. Ed
gar Hoover, chief of Justice Depart
ment operations.
Meanwhile, local police were in
formed that Rose Demetro was In
love with George Miller, but that the
latter was unwilling to pay a dowry
to her father, in accordance with
gypsy custom.
When the girl disappeared. Petro
Demetro went to police. told the kid
naping story, the disappearance of the
money from his home and began a
search for the daughter.

companies may be able to divest
themselves of the control Of their

The disappearance at the end
Of five years Of those utility holding
companies which cannot justify
themselves as necessary for the
functioning Of the operating util-
ity companies Of the country Is
an objective which congressional
leaders I have consulted deem es-
sential to a realistic and far-sighted
treatment Of the evils of public
utility holding companies. For
practical reasons we should offer
a chance of survival to those hold
ing companies which can prove to
the Securities and Exchange Com
mission that their existence is
necessary for the achievement of
the public ends which private util-
ity companies are supposed to
serve. For such companies, and
during the interim period for
other companies. the proposal for
a comprehensive plan of public
regulation and control is sound.
But where the utility holding
company does not perform a de-
monstrably useful and necessary
function in the operating industry
and is used simply as a means Of
financial control, 1t Is idle to talk
Of the continuation of holding
companies on the assumption that
regulation can protect the public
against them. Regulation has
small chance of ultimate success
against the kind Of concentrated
wealth and economic power which
holding companies have shown the

Immigrant to Inventor.


Inventions which revolutionized tel
ephony, wireless telegraphy and the
X-ray we're Michael Pupin's contri-
buttons to the scientific world. The
man who passed from immigrant to
inventor in % years returned rich
reward of more than he received from
''the land of opportunity"
The "Pupin COIL" used in putting
telephone and telegraph wires under
ground, he regarded as his greatest
achievement. 1t made possible the
New York to San Francisco telephone
line, the Boston to Washington under
ground cable and the submarine cable
between England and Holland.
In 1896 he discovered a rapid
method of X-ray photography, which
shortened the time of exposure from
about an hour to a few seconds. In
the same year he also discovered the
secondary X-ray radiation principle
universally employed now in the study
Of X-ray Spectra.
Wireless telegraphy. however, was
the first field to benefit from his re-
search and inventions With the ap-
pearance of wireless in 1895 came the
problem of sending messages SO that
they would not interfere with each
other. Pupin invented a method of
electrical tuning, later purchased by
the Marconi Co., and practiced uni
versally now in autobiography. He
also devised a method of receiving
wireless signals through electrolytic
rectifcation of high-frequency oscil-
lationS at wireless receiving stations
Born in Hungary.
Pupin was born in Idvor, Banat,
then a province of Hungary, but now
in Yugoslavia, October 4, 1858, of
peasant people. His mother supple
mented his school lessons with her
own teaching, but early in his youth
persuaded his father to allow him to
go to school at Panchevo. This
chance at education he imperiled
however, when he brought home to
his father the story of Benjamin
Franklin's drawing electricity from
the clouds. Pupin's father was en-
ragged because this disputed the old
tradition that thunder was caused by
the passage of Elijah's chariot wheels
through the clouds, and he forbade
his boy continuing in school. His
mother interposed her own influence
however, and the boy was allowed te
keep on.
Encouraged by his mother, he sold
his watch, his cap and almost every
thing he possessed for sufficient funds
to make the trip, and in 1874 sailed
for America without even enough
money to buy mattress for his steer
age bunk. Some days later he landed
in New York with a single nickel
to begin the career which led him from
the most menial tasks to a professor
ship at Columbia University and the
inventions and discoveries which so
benefited the scientific world.

Held Unnecessary to Business.
Except where it Is absolutely
necessary to the continued func-
tioning Of q geographically inte-
grated operating utility system, the
utility holding company with its
present powers must go. II we
could remake our financial history
in the light Of experience certainly
we would have none of this holding
company business. 1t is a device
which does not belong to our Amer
lean traditions Of law and business.
1t is only comparatively late in
novation. 1t dates definitely from
the same unfortunate period which
marked the beginnings of host Of
other laxities in our corporate law
which have brought us to our pres
ent disgraceful condition Of COM
petitive charter -mongering between
our States. And it offers too we'll
demonstrated temptation to and
facility for abuse to be tolerated as
a recognized business institution.
That temptation and that facility
are inherent in its very nature. It
is O corporate invention which can
give few corporate insiders un-
warranted and intolerable powers
over other peoples money In its
destruction of local control and its
substitution of absentee manage
ment it has built up in the public
utility field what has justly been
called q system Of private socialism
which Is inimical to the welfare Of
a free people.
Most Of us agree that we should
take the control and the benefits
OF the essentially local operating
utility industry out of few finan-
cial centers and give back that con-
troll and those benefits TO the locali-
ties which produce the business and
create the wealth. We can prop
erly favor economically independ-
ent business, which stands on its
own feet and diffuses power and
responsibility among the many, and
frowns upon those holding COM
panies which through interlocking
directorates and other devices have
given tyrannical power and ex-
elusive opportunity to a favored
few. 1t Is time to make an effort
to reverse that process of the con-
centration Of power which has
made most American citizens,
once traditionally independent own
ers of their own businesses, de-

REVOLT COST LARGE.
Twice Sum of Greece's Annual Budget
Spent in Uprising.
BY JAMES A. MILLS.

(Copyright, 1898, by the Associated Press.)
GHEVGHELLI, Yugoslavia, March
12.-With rebels reported fleeing in
all directions, Greece took time today
to count the cost of its most recent
futile adventure in revolution.
It was estimated the uprising cost
the country minimum of 2o,00o,0 ,00o,-
600 drachmas approximately $780,
100000. How staggering this amount
is for small nation such as Greece
may be gathered from the fact the
annual Grecian budget is only one
half that sum.
The task of Hquidating this enor-
nous liability appeared likely to
cripple the country for many years
to come
Even more disastrous, however, Is
the prospect of wholesale execution
and Imprisonment of army and navy
officers who participated in the revo-
luton. The country still recalls with
horror the bloody episode in 1922
WAlC1l, tllc VI NIlSCO-
Turkish war, Gen. Nicholas Plastiras,
then head of revolutionary govern
fnent, ordered the summary execution
OF six cabinet members, including
Premier Demetrius Gounaris.
Execution Feared.
Many thoughtful Greek and foreign
observers believe some similar fate
may be meted out to the leaders of
the recent rebellion and that the
same legacy Of hatred which caused
1t will be passed on to Greece's ris-
ing generation.
Greek monarchists believe the exist
ing political passions can be quieted
only by restoration Of the monarchy.
These circles forecast restoration will
take place within year If the pres
ent government proves incapable of
uniting and pacifying the turbulent
elements in the nation.
Former Kings Chances.
Monarchists already are discussing
likely candidates for the vacant
throne. Some consider the obvious
candidate is former King George, who
may have obtained some new ideas on
ruling from the Indian maharajah
whom he has been visiting in Delhi
Province.
Another possibility whom some mon
archists are reported to favor is the
Duke of Kent, son Of King George OF
England, whose wife is the former
Princess Marina of Greece. It is said
the Duke of Kent and his bride are
planning to visit Greece after their
American wedding tour.
Less imaginative observers, however,
express doubt that the British govern
ment would sanction any connection
between its royal family and Balkan
country Of such una tied politics as
