NEW YORK, April 20 G.N.S0.
Three more men were arrested to-
day in connection with the SEN
sational blackmail plot against
Mrs. Lucille B. Harris, wealthy So
ciety matron.
This brings the number Of ar
rested suspects to five. Two men
were taken into custody last Mon

legedly attempted to extort $4,000
from Mrs. Harris.
The society woman received
through the mail faxed picture
purporting to show her nude in
the company Of a man. With the
picture was a threat to turn 1t
over to her husband unless $4,000
were forthcoming. Mrs. Harris
notified her husband, who in turn
called in detectives, and a trap
was laid for the plotterS.
Those arrested today in Hobo
ken, N. j., identified themselves as
Hans Pfluger, 80; stephen Darago,
"a, and Joseph Pilotti, %, all OF
New York. The men taken into
custody on Monday were Arthur
UliSse, "a, and Dominick Pilotti,
"a, brother of Joseph.
Police allege the men were all
members of gang who hoped to
mulct numerous other society
women.
Mrs. Doris Duke Cromwell. to-
bacco heiresS, is said to have re-
ceived a demand for $25 900 from
the gang before she sailed for
Europe several months ago.

BOND PROBERS
MAY SUMMON
DOHERTY

Possibility that Henry Doherty,
oil magnate, may be called before
the House special committee In
vestigating bondholders' protective
committees doomed today.
When the committee recessed
it's hearings the past week, Harry
Bralove, head of the Shoreham Ho-
tel, was ON the witness stand being
questioned as to where he OBJ
tanned the 100000 which he
loaned the receivers of the hotel
for reorganization transactions.
Question Evaded
Mr.. Bralove was asked by Rep
resentative Thomas O'Malley Cd,
of Wisconsin, if the 100000 was
obtained from Mr.. Doherty. Mr..
Bralove asked the chairman, Rep
resentative Adolph SABBATH CD,
of Illinois, whether he had to an
sWer that inquiry.
Mr.. Bralove declared that If he
did answer the question he did
not think it would aid the COM
mituee in any respect and would
serve only to embarraSS him IN
possible future transactions.
The chairman finally decided to
take the matter under consldera-
ton during the recess. The com
mittee is expected to resume hear
ingS next week.
Ruling Deferred
Meanwhile, however, it is under
stood Chairman SABBATH has al
most decided to compel Mr.. Bra
love to answer the question. Mr.
SABBATH declined to discuss the
matter today, saving:
81 don't think it would be ad-
visable for me to say how 1 will
rule on Mr.. Bralove's appeal.
The proper time for that will be
when the committee resumes its
hearings"
In an authoritative source 1t
was learned today that the COM
mittee has obtained certain infor-
nation which, if we'll founded,
will necessitate the summoning of
Mr.. Doherty to testify.

SENATOR BORAH's RECORD

THE popular sentiment which finally has induced
Senator William E. Borah of Idaho, for the
first time in his long political career to enter Re-
publican presidential primaries, is indirectly trib-
ute to the New Deal.
For the Idaho Senator forged way ahead of the
conservative element of his party and supported
numerous New Deal measures
If Mr.. Borah is instrumental in framing the plat
form, as he intends to be, or If he should become
the partys candidate for President which he may
be- then the Republican Party would have to sub
scribe to a healthy slice of the New Deal
An analysis of the Idaho Senator's record COM
piled here shows that his batting average" on New
Deal bill votes is 647 better than Babe Ruth ever
did in his long career the diamond, and better
than a number of Democrats.
Outstanding Roosevelt measures for which. Mr.
Borah voted include the Social Security Act, the
Wagner Labor Disputes Act, the much disputed Pub
lie Utility Holding Company Act, the Works Relief
Act, invalidaton of gold dollar devaluation Ten
nessee Valley Authority the Gold Reserve Act stock
exchange control, and silver purchase.
Mr.. Borah thus is listed in that political school
which holds that the government must take the
responsibility for feeding and clothing and finding
work for the unemployed, as exemplfed in his sup
port of the $488ooooooO works relief BILL that the
for labor, set up machinery to adjust industrial dis
putes, as provided by the Wagner bill, and should
protect the worker against the recurring cycles of
unemployment and afford security in old age as al-
thorized by the Social Security Act that the govern
ment must protect the investor, as provided by the
stock market control act, and must regulate the
power industry cheap power for the consumer
and break up great aggregations of capital as is
attempted in the holding company bill and the
IVA Act.
Likewise, Mr.. Borah takes stand for a cheaper
dollar, that the debtor class of which the farmer
is large component may lift the financial burdens
from his back. AS a matter of fact the Idaho Sen
ator would go even further to cheaper the dollar by
additional measures.
coal bill, the Senator joins those who oppose such
imposed measures of economic control, though right
now the Senator is seeking means to preserve
for the farmer the benefits accorded by AAA In
NFSA Mr. Borah feared the preservation of monopoly
His philosophy, as demonstrated by his votes, is
strangely compounded, involving some forms of gov
eminent regulation and not Others and leaning, in
his cheap money views, far toward the radical infla-
tionary left
IT he is nominated some of the force will be
taken from the Republican assault on New Deal
spending for he voted for the $780, 100000 works
relief bill, chief target of that attack.

RILEY CRITICS INSPIRE
LETTER FROM WEST

BY Allen BotsfOrd, Los Angeles
Copies of your newspaper, under
dates of Oct. 7 and of this year,
have reached me. I have read the
articles by Mrs. George Cooper,
Greenfield, Ind, which deal with
earlier recollections of the late
James Whitcomb Riley.
AS these "reminiscences deal with
time wherein happened to be
one of the family that greeted the
Hoosier Poet as a guest at our coun-
try home, certain statements made
in the articles before me are Slight
ly in error, or else memory serves
me faulty. I refer specifically to
the occasion when the poets
father, the late Reuben A. Riley, is
quoted as having gently rebuked my
sister, Clara Louise Botsford, for
her alleged untoward criticism of
another person. I have distinct
recollections of the elder Mr. Riley,
who was sound lawyer and an
officer commanding troops during
the Civil War. He was the soul of
gallantry, partial to a fault-to use
dependable phrase-and gentle
man.
To me, it is a matter of regret
that any reference was made to
possible Affections suffered by the
late James Whitcomb Riley by my
sister, Mrs. Cooper, who, I am GER

A WOMAN'S VIEWPOINT
By Mrs. Walter Ferguson

A last the brides-or should we say the BRIDE
grooms?-are getting break. These new
schools we've been hearing about which give women
first hand instruction in all household problems
answer longfelt even a shrieking want. We hope
the movement becomes fad. 1t is the most sensible
thing ever done for preserving the American home.
For years it has been plain that the smattering
bits of information a girl gets from domestic SCI
ence course in school amount to little. The courses
make fine teachers, but don't seem to have i'm
proved housewives.
Obviously training for homemaking is mothers
job. We admit it while We hasten to explain that
it's easier said than done. There are many reasons
why this is so.
The most important is this: Girls are seldom
interested in homemaiing until they plan home
Of their own Such interest simply can not be in
spred in our anti-domestic age. Second the house
where even one servant is employed offers nc real
opportunity for the novice even if she has time
for the effort, which is unlikely in our high pres
sure educational routine. Cooks give notice when
Susie cutters up the kitchen, and you can't blame
them. After all they're paid to cook, not to teach
cooking
How about the home which can not afford
servant? Well, in most cases, the daughters as well
the sons forced to get outside jobs as soon
as possible so that everybody eat.
It is easy to see, then, that girls face handi-
caps in training for housekeeping-what the boys
face we've no room to discuss here. That's why
these brides schools seem such an excellent innova-
ton. The japanese people. who have had them for
some time, are one jump ahead of us in the matter
though, for by their system the girl gets her train
ing before marriage much smarter arrangement,
don't you think' Why wait to learn Housekeeping
until after you are married? You'd never get a
Job as a stenographer by any such method.
Anyway, wish these brides schools the best
Of success, and think the women who started them
should have congressional medals.
