TAXI DRIVER HELD
IN HOLD-UP PROBE
Youth Calls Police After
Taking Threat Note Into
Store as Favor.

A colored taxi driver was being
questioned by first precinct police to-
day in connection with an attempted
hold-up last night in which an tnno-
cent youth. Blondell Redmond, 81, be-
came an unwilling occomplice OF two
bandits.
Meanwhile. Redmond. who gave his
address as 56 Seaton place, could not
be located. 1t was learned he had
not been living at the Seaton place
residence since last Tuesday a week
ago. when he lost his Job in drug
store
This gave rise to speculation that
the youth might have feared the BAN
dts. whom he foiled by calling police,
would seek revenge. Capt. Harvey G,
Callahan, first precinct commander,
cited the possibility the youth might
be in hiding.
The cab driver was taken into GUS
tody today on information given police
by a witness to the attempted robbery
of Highs ice cream store. 112 H street,
last night. He was held for investiga-
tion.
Redmond was very obliging when a
taxicab stopped at First and H streets
and one Of two passengers asked him
to do them "a favor"
Give this note to the clerk in that
ice cream store. will you, buddy?" the
stranger requested.

Md. No matter how troublesome or

always cheerfully carried out his job
Of cutting red tape" or supplying
the needed information. He had q
habit Of calling reporters up on the
telephone himself, just to make sure
they wouldn't be left out or would
get break.
Call Jenkins" became q common
saying on the news desks of local
papers and bureaus, whenever anyone
was stumped on War Department
query.
jenkins was 10 years old last Mon
day but no one would guess it who
didn't know him we'll. He had some
accumulated leave due him and q
personal modesty forbade him spread
ing the news Of his approaching re-
tirement. He would give any reporter
any amount OF news about a retiring
general but for himself he asked
nothing.
Born in Kentucky. he became .
travelling salesman "out Of Chat
tanooga" when he was young man.
That accounts. perhaps. for the stock
Of stories he always had to tell. He
never failed to have one to fit any
occasion.

CHICAGO. June 27.-Representatlve
William Lemke. Republican. OF North
Dakota. candidate for President on
the Union party ticket. said today his
name would appear on the ballot in
practically all of the 48 States IN
November, despite election laws which
bar entry of new party slate so close
to election day.
In States where the Union party
will not be able to appear under its
own name, Lemke said his name and
that of his vice presidential running
mate. Thomas O'Brien Of Boston,
would be used by "other groups which
have already filed nominations and
will be on the ballot
A number of such groups have al
ready offered to follow such an ar
rangement. the North Dakota Fe-
publican asserted. These, he said. in"

sion movement.
Precedent for Confidence.
The Representative declared there
was a precedent for his confidence IN
this respect adding:
Bob La Toilette did IL. and he got
on the ballot in all but one State"
He referred to the third party presi-
dental candidacy of the late Wis
consin Senator In 1924.
Lemke said he would carry every
State" in November IF the facts were
told. The difficulty is in getting the
facts out" he asserted.
In event he was not elected, Lemke
said he was mot concerned" over
whether he took more votes from the
Republicans or the Democrats.
why should -" he exclaimed. "I
have said repeatedly that the con-
servative Democrats and the stand pat
Republicans are not only of the same
breed of cats, but they are the same
cat"
The Representative said he was
merely stopping in Chicago for the
day for some conferences before going
on to Iowa for two farm addresses
tomorrow.
To Speak In Cleveland.
His national headquarters will be
esta blished in Chicago, he said, but
his campaign will not open until mid
August. He will speak, however. at
the second national convention of the
Townsend Pension Clubs at Cleveland
on July 10.
Lemke said his Union Party was not
strictly coalition. but merely band
ing together Ito restore American
principles In government"
These groups don't accept each
others ideas in entirety" he ex-
planned. They retain their separate
entities. They are not merging forces
except for this one purpose
For the campaign. he said, State
committee would be organized "in
every State possible" and a national
committee then built with man and
woman representing each State.
Lerke described his platform as
American" and denied 1t represented
