CONTROL

The drive for legislation to give
the Federal Government power to

OF such law.
The proposal will be canvasSed
at a mass meeting of business
leaders and workers representa-
tives here next month when

reSS. The council, composed of
industrialists and union repre-
sentativeS, has recommended re-

Postmaster Rushed
To st. Paul by Agents

BENSENVILLE, H., April 10 q.
N.SO.-Edward c. Bartholmey,
postmaster and leading citizen IN
this small community, was rushed
to st. Paul today to face arraign-
ment for completely in the kid
mapping Of william A. Hamn, IT,,
st. Paul brewer, on June Is, 1885
According to Federal agents, it
was in the two-story, white-frame
house of Bartholmey here that
Hamm was held captive for three
days.
Agents said that Bartholmey
was minor figure in the kid
mapping and that he did not par
ticipate in the actual snatch,
but aided later and took his share
of the loot, some of which was re-
covered.
Bartholmey, Omen said, formed
his connection in the crime
through his acquaintanceShip
with KarpiS gangsters. He was q
railroad man before political con-
nections led to appointment Of
postmaster at a yearly salary Of
$4,000.
Bartholmey was appointed
postmaster at BenSenville, q town
Of less than 2,000 population in
northern Illinois, September IL,
1885, on recommendation of
Senator Dietrich CD of Illinois.
Senator Lewis CD, Dietrich'S col.
league, concurred.
Thus, more than two years after
the Hamm kidnapping and while
Omen and police were searching
for the kidnapers, Bartholmey was
able to rally enough political in
fluence to obtain public office.
The Post Office Department
summary dismissed him from Of
flee this morning.

Woman's Tip Places
Mahan in Pennsylvania

WARREN. Pa, April 10 (I.NS0.
On a tip supplied by q young
woman drug store clerk, city and
State police today sought william
Mahan, alleged kidnaper of young
George Weyerhaeuser, heir to lurn-
Der millions, in Tacoma, WASH,
last May "a, in this section.
From the description given by
the drug store clerk and others en-
ployed there, Police Chief George
Haehn said he was absolutely
convinced" the man who pur-
chased hair dye and skin bleach
ing preparation was Mahan, cur.
rently the Nations Public Enemy
No. 2. 49,.
City and State police sprang
into action when the tip was re-
ceived. All nearby highways were
guarded and all suspicious char
acters in the city were scrutiniZed
by police. They worked through
out the night but failed to uncover
any clue to Mahan's whereabouts.
Haehn said Mahan could easily
have driven here from Cleveland,
Ohio, where he was reported seen
last night.
The man in the drug store was
described as having black hair,
brown eyes, q small scar on the
left cheek and a scar at the left
side Of the mouth extending down
over the chin. The scars were
the chief factor that led police to
believe the customer was Mahan.

statement that the ransom money
was effectively received by the
kidnapers'' epitomizeS the entire
case as one OF the most efficiently
executed "snatcheS" in criminal
annals.
The kidnapers worked with pre-.
cision, and employed effective
psychology. Of the three ransom
notes, no two were delivered to
the same person or in the same
manner. To preclude any posi-
bility of Hamm's friends report
ing receipt of the ransom miSsiveS
to police. the abductors cunningly
declared in one of the notes that
if knowledge of the negotiations
reached authorities, the price fol
Hamm'S safe return would be
boosted to $4,000.
The first ransom note was re.
ceived the morning after the kid
naping, by William W. Dunn, an
official Of the brewing company.
This note gave detailed instruc.
tions for preparation Of the ran.
som money and related that in.
structionS regarding delivery OF
the money would be forthcoming.

Not two hours after Hamm had
been abducted, Dunn received q
telephone call, advising him:

The second note was received a
few hours after the first. This
note warned against revealing in.
formation concerning negotiations
to the police.
The third and last note was
left in the automobile of L. j.

win scored the League Of Ma.
tons for "impotency" to halt
wars today in speech at the
Worcester Guild Hall TO- the
Bendley Unionist Association.
At the same time, Baldwin Wig.
orously defended Britain's policy
in the Italo- Ethiopian dispute
He declared, criticising the
League:
There does not seem yet to
be effective machinery for
stopping war before it begins
II one party is determined to
90 to war and not submit its
differences to arbitration.
absence Of Germany, the
United States and Japan from
the League made imposition Of
sanctions against Italy Of much
less force. 49,, p.
Sanctions are slow in action
and lose a great deal Of their
force unless they can be support
ed by ultimate sanctions, which
are blockades or force.
"It is difficult to see how,
under the existing membership
Of the League, q blockade could
be agreed upon"
Referring to attacks in the
Italian press against British For
eign Secretary Anthony Eden,
Baldwin declared Eden was ex-
pressing the policy Of the whole
British government. He added:
1--WE want the covenant Of
the League to become the law Of
the world, and unless we are
prepared to abandon that hope
we regard ourselves bound to
give full support to the League
when the covenant is broken.
