marked MONEY
In ROSS RANSOM
is FUTILE CLUE.
Police Unable to Trace
First $40 Note

CHICAGO, Oct. 20 Q.N.SJ.
Baked in their efforts to find the
source of the first Charles S. Ross
ransom bill, Federal agents waited
impatiently today for another Of
the marked bank notes to aid in
solving the $4,000 kidnapping.
A $40 bill, first of the sum known
to have been put back in circula-
ton, was turned over to authorities
by a suburban house wife yester-
day.
She said she had received 1t
from William j. Wernecke, an in
surance company collector. After
a frantic search, Wernecke was To-
Gated and questioned about the
persons who might have given him
the money.
The man, however, was unable
to recall where he had taken it in
during the day as he had collected
money from more than a score of
people. He furnished investiga-
tors with a list of them, but little
hope was held that the money
could be tracked back.

Stick 'em up. I pulled the
mask from his face and we
struggled. He shouted Van

man came in. He hit me across
the head with the butt of his
gun. Then they tied me up

Il got loose, and I got out of
the room through a window"

Cobb said he staggered about 80
feet away from the house.
Il saw man coming on the

seen me. He hollered to some
one to give him a blackjack.
Then he took the blackjack and
hit me across the face and
head"

COOPER URGES
LARGERC0URT

Wade H. Cooper, Washington
banker and lawyer, today struck
at the action of the United States
Supreme Court in the suit over
the closing of the United States
Savings Bank.
In a letter to President Roose-
welt, Colonel Cooper declared he
believes the court should be en-
larged, but at the same time
should consist of three divisions,
of from five to seven justices
each.
One Of these divisions, he main
tainS, should be for law, one for
equity and one for criminal work.
The reason for such division, he
says, is that under the present
plan it is impossible for the court
to give proper consideration to
all cases coming before it.
He cited to uphold this con.
tention the savings bank case,
in which he charges the court
brushed every question aside as
of no consequence" and denied
the bank an application for a
writ, to halt closing of the insti-
tuition.
He further charged that the
court instead of opening the
channels of justice, seems to be
actually blocking and blockading
the channels of justice"

This is the second of a series
of articles covering instruction
of school children in child trGt-
tic safety. The articles are based
on talks to children By Traffic
Division Policeman Forrest L.
BinSwanger, Familiarity Eno1Dn
as "Sdtety Mike" Who has been
detailed By Major Ernest BrOlOH
to cooperate 1Uith The Washing
ton Times in a series OF traffic
lectures at local schools
Foremost among the traffic haz-
ards which seem to have been es-
pecially devised to include children
in the 10000 annual traffic death
toll, are the parked cars.
The parked car would present
no hazard at all, Safety Mike"
told Thomson school children Mon
day morning, if children would use
caution when stepping into the
roadway from behind it.
1t is this sudden venture from
between parked cars that account
for by far the larger portion OF
pedestrian traffic deaths. And,
by the same token, the larger per-
centage of these fatalities are
school children.
In a few more weeks. "Safety
Mike" pointed out, Washington'S
army of students will be turned
out on the streets. 1t may be the
of their release from
nine months of study that prompts
their heedlessness, the traffic Off
GER suggested, but at any rate, he
went on:
"In those first few weeks Of
