BOHN RETURNED BY KIDNAPERS St. Paul Youth Returns Home After Being Held Captive Six Days St. Paul. Minn.. July (U.P.) — Haskell Bohn, 20. handsome scion of the wealthy refrigerator manu-■ factoring family, was back home tialay little the worse after more than six days in the hands of kidnaperss. The youth who wan captured by three men a week ago today was released just before midnight last night. He was thrust from an automobile a few miles west of Minneapolis not far from Lake Minne* tonka resort district where police believe the kidnap hideaway was located. Immediately after the youth's release officers conferred with him and Gebhard C. Bohn, his millionaire father, in hope of obtaining information that will lead to capture of the abduction ring. It was not known definitely whether the 335,000 ransom demanded in the first kidnap note was paid hut reports were that approximately $5,000 was bartered for the youth's freedom. The elder Bohn had announced I himself willing to pay for the return of his son. Young Bohn said he was well treated by his captors thougli his eyes were bandaged most of the time he was in their hands. ‘‘Directly after the three men | grabbed me last Thursday beside! *the garage of our home,” Bohn said. | 'they placed a bandage over my eyes. We drove in the automobile for a long time and 1 was unable to tell what direction was taken. ‘ Finally we arrived at a house and I was placed in a room by myself. The men did not bind me but kept a guard hi the room. They fed me at regular hours and 1 had nothing to complain of regarding the treatment. "Last night they put me into the car again. We drove a good many miles. One of the men thrust a 1 ill into my hands, a S2O bill I discovered later. Then they put me out ot the car. 1 went to a farmhouse and telephoned the Minneapolis police.” Bolin was released on a highway a fe wmiles from Minneapolis leading to Wayzata, Minn., a Lake Minnetonke resort. This was not far, from the spot where his father several days earlier hail failed in an attempted rendezvous with the kidnapers. Police believed it likely from these facts that the youth had been he'd captive in that vicinity. BORAH REFUSES DRY NOMINATION CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE will sound the death knell to liquor traffic and all kinds of political cowardice.” Dr. Clinton Howard, Rochester, N. Y., and three other officials of the party telephoned Borah in \Vashington inquiring if lie would accept the nomination. Howard and the others reported that "the senator is greatly appreciative of the compliment which the convention confers on him by its willingness to nominate him for file presidency. He advises, however, that the convention do not make such nomination, as such a call should come, if at all, from a great uprising of the people to bi- expressed at a subsequent convention to be called by the united moral forces of the country.” Five others placed in nomination, from whom the candidate will be chosen today, were D. Leigh Colvin, New York, national chairman; Dr. Howard; Frank Regan. Rockford. 111., William Varney. Rocckville Center. N. Y. Harley W. Kidder, Barre, Vt. It was understood that if other [ dry organizations of the country] meet and decide on a candidate, the i prohibition party will join in the, movement. A resolution giving the national committee power to act in such an event, was adopted. DECATUR MAN SHOT IN LEG BY POLICEMAN. CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE the Erie tracks near the Thirteenth street crossing as men were] noticed about the cars and their actions led the men who saw them to believe that they were trying to| break into the cars. An automo-i bile had been parked on Adams i street and parked on the west side] ot the track. At least two men' were seen about the freight cars, ( tin train being stopped to permit the Erie passenger train, to pass, j One of the cars had been broken! into and a number of cases ofspiced canned ham, beans, peas, beets gmd Pet milk were strewed, along the right-of-way. Policeman | Clark started to patrol on the north side of the track and Policeman Miller took the south side. Miller saw the man run and called] ito him He did not know who' I the man was. I The policemen had deputized | Paul Phillips and Fred Engle and ]

they assisted the officers in making the search. Death was removed to the hospital and Drs. C. C. Rayl and J. M. Miller were summoned. The bullet passed through the leg, leaving a hole about the size of a marble. Death also received a number of scratches and bruises when he was felled by the shot, Death denied he was trying to haul away the merchandise. It was stated that about 20 eases of the canned goods had been removed from the car. It was claimed that three or four other cars had been entered, but none of the contents, mostly cantalopes and perishables were removed. Thomas Dowling, special city policeman, was deputized ami placed on watch at the hospital today, pending action of Erie authorities in the case. SEVEN RESCUED FROM SINKING PROMETHEE CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE to enter active service.

The ciiuse was not certain but was believed to have been an xplosion, since stirvivers said they were blown off the deck. They were still dazed, however, and unable to give a coherent story. The seven saved included naval lieutenant Couestel Demesnil, commander of the submarine. The loss of the Promotbee was the worst submarine disaster in Hie history of the French navy. o MESSAGE DEALS WITH PROBLEMS BEFORE STATE I CONTINUED FROM PAGI-.' ONE | iintroduc-tion an duction,” the messuage rend. "Promptness in attain inent of results will shorten this special session ami reduce materially the cost of the session.” The first consideration, Leslie said, should be that “tax relief come to the people of Indiana in 1933. “To this end tlie executive department will cooperate with you in every possible way within constitutional limitations.” Warnings that proposals de-ling with matters other than tax relief would not be tolerated were given i in botli houses. 1 In tlie senate, a resolution to that

i effect was read and referred to the , rules committee. In tlie house, a i communication was presented by 1 Rep. James M. Knapp, Hagerstown, > minority leader. It was read without comment. • A resolution uuered by Jacob ■ Weiss, Marion county, demanding tliat all employes for the session. i including pages, be persons on i whom there were dependents, was tabled. Argument arose over the clause providing that pages be provident persons. Other resolutions adopted by the , 'house provided that officers ot the ‘' 1931 general assembly preside for ] the special session, that ruled of tlie 1931 legislature prevail for the ■ special session, that standing committees of tlie last, legislature be i continued, and that a committee Ihe named to memorialize Rep. [ Erasmus T. Sage, Jeffersonville, who died since tlie 1931 session. Myers Makes Plea Indianapolis, July 7. — (U.R) A stirring plea for economic legislation which will save the life savings of Indiana citizens by restoring confidence in hanking and busine. s, and relieving over taxed ; property owners, was made before tlie house of representatives by Speaker Walter Myers as tlie extra session convened. “Should tilts country collapse

there will Im revolt unlike any that ever happened before because it will not be a revolt of the proletariat," Myers said. "It will lie the rt volt of those who put their life savings in bunks and lost them because the banka failed. It will bo tiie revolt of tliose who put their life savings In homes and lost them through foreclosure. It will he a revolt of those who put their life savings in farms and lost them through tax sales." Simultaneously Lieut. Gov. Edgar D. Bush in the enate urged economy and equity In government. Bush mid the senate majority are Republicans. Myers and tlie house majority aare Democratss. "We are presented witli a tax situation in Indiana which embodies both the elements of extravagance in txpenditure and inequality in distribution of Hie burden,” Bush said. "Our tax problem is the problem of the pyramid whose apex is mounting higher and higher and whose base is becoming narrower and narrower. The job confronting the lawmakers is to prevent tlie pyramid from toppling over of Its own weight.” Get the Habit — Trade at Home
