In a search of Miss Hammer's Hollywood bungalow following her arrest, police discovered a list of name* of famous movie folk, which, they say is nothing less than a kidnap index of intended victims. Among those listed are Adolph Mcnjou, Mary Pickford, Constance Talmadge, Mrs. Harold Lloyd and her children, Buster Keaton and other film personages whose name* are house--1 hold words. Although Miss Hammer is said to have confessed to the abduction of Mrs. Skeele, she emphatically denied the police accusation that she had similar designs on the screen folk. Mrs. Skeele, whose ' husband had been one of Miss Hammer * instructors at the University of Southern California, was held for 24 hours and released after demands for SIO,OOO ransom had been refused Miss Hammer said in her confession that she needed the money to xved Howard, and denied that they had any accomplice*. Police, however, believe that the former co-ed and her fianca, were merely the tool* *t an unscrupulous kidnap gang. . ■"T "

The investigation, according tn the minister, already had disclosed beyond a dout that the fire was incendiary.

. ichough in the first flush of victory, following the passage of the repeal resolution by the House by a vote of 289 to 121, wet leaders throughout the country considered the long fight against prohibition already won, an analysis of the vote by States brings home the fact that a great fight is yet to come before the quietus is definitely put on the Eighteenth Amendment. Thirty States voted solidly wet; eleven uncompromisingly dry and seven divided their votes between wet and dry. In order to ratify the repeal amendment a majority of three-fourths of the State* will be necessary. Therefore, the wet forces must hold the thirty already won and in addition woo six more from among the doubtful States. This might not be such a difficult task if the dry forces were to lay down on the job. But this they show no sign of doing. Already the arid leader* are planning ways and means of dominating the State Conventions m these doubtful States and it looks a* if a stern battle is in the offing. The wet leaders lost no time in pushing their advantage. A few hours after the repeal resolution had passed the I’ -.i .: ly-t’-ree States had initiated action towards the establishment of conventions for ratification. S'e-‘I.:A t Lj.-.s of delegates within thirty, sixty and ninety days are provided in most cases.
