Betty Foster

Kidnaping is punishable by life imprisonment. The child, who was returned here Tuesday fromg Lake Geneva, Wis., where Dellinger had taken her, said she had been treated kindly by him. She had recovered today from undernourishment, suffered because Dellinger feared to stop and purchase food during their two-day trip in his dilapidated automobile. “I don't really believe he meant her any harm,” Mrs. Foster said. “Claude worked five years for us and he always was good to Betty Ann. Probably he thought lie was doing right.” Betty Ann's father, Ernest Foster, a wealthy farmer, signed an affidavit charging Dellinger with abduction. TRAFFIC LIGHTS ARE ADOPTED BY LONDON Tirst Signal Installed After Study of Other Systems. Bu r nited Frees LONDON, Aug. 27.—After studying systems in Berlin, Paris and other cities, London has adopted her first automatic signal control for traffic. * ’Die first, signals were, installed early in July at, Ludgate-circus, where New Bridge street, the approach to Blackfriar’s bridge, meets Fleet street, a heavy traffic point. Early trials proved the lights a success, although in the first few days hal fa dozen policemen were stationed at the various corners to accustm drivers to the new arrangement. Automatic traffic control probably has been slower in coming in London than other big cities because of the nature of the streets and traffic. There are very few wide thoroughfares, so that heavy bus traffic is confined to a few main arteries.

BLEASE, ‘DRINKING DRY,’ LEADS IN SENATE RACE

■ \

Senator Pat Harri*on

Pat Harrison, Borah Also Are Nominated: Ralph Ahead in California Governor Battle. By United Press COLUMBIA, S. C., Aug. 27.—Senator Cole L Blease, who condones lynching and caiis himself a “drinking prohibitionist,” held a comfortable plurality today in tabulations of South Carolina's primary election vote. Blease’s nearest competitor was former Congressman James E. Byrnes, and it appeared virtually certain he would engage the senator in a runoff contest Sept. 9 for the Democratic senatorial nomination. The election followed one of the most colorful of this year’s campaigns in the south. The principal issue w r as that of lynching, and it was injected by Rlease himself. “When the Constitution comes between me and the virtue of the white women of South Carolina, I say to hell with the Constitution.” the senator declared in describing lynching as the only successful method of discouraging Negro assaults on white women. It was this issue which brought Solicitor Harris into the race as a Blease opponent. Harris, prosecutor of a mob which lynched a Negro at Walhalla. charged Blease pardoned too many Negro attackers while he was Governor a little more than fifteen years ago. ‘Sunny Jim’ Leads SAN FRANCISCO. Aug. 27. James Rolph Jr., for eighten years mayor of San Francisco, was leading today in the race for the Republican gubernatorial nomination over Buron Fitts, Las Angeles district attorneys, and Governor C. C. Young in returns from the state primary election. Mayor Rolph, known throughout the west as Sunny Jim, was believed to have profited by the campaign quarrel between Fitts and Young over which was entitled to the support of the drys. Rolph did not make a definite statement on that issue. Young was indorsed by the California Anti-Saloon league, which explained that Fitts also was dry, “but something had to be done to defeat Rolph.” The retrial of the San Francisco Preparedness day bombing case was believed to have turned some voters to Rolph and Fitts. Governor Young has delayed until Sept. 22 the review of evidence upon which Thomas J. Mooney was convicted of complicity in the bombing. Neither Rolph nor Fitts stated what they would do in the matter. During the campaign Rolph won a milking contest and stunted in
