KIDNAP PLOTS CHARGED AS 30 ARE ARRESTED Midwest Ring Is Believed Smashed, With Raids in Three Cities. By United Prtss CHICAGO Jan. 2.—Chief Investigator Pat Roche of the state’s attorney’s office announced today the arrest of thirty members of a kidnaping ring, including twelve women. The captives, Roche said, have been implicated in seventeen kidnaping.? in the central states. The band was rounded up through cooperation of Chicago, Peoria and fit. Louis authorities, Roche said. He would not reveal immediately names of any of the prisoners being held. Roche said five of the thirty captives have confessed their part in seventeen abductions and demands for ransom. None of the prisoners was placed in jail. The entire group was rounded up and put under guard of police and detectives at the Congress hotel. For several weeks, Roche and his associates have been raiding hangouts of the gang in the three midwest cities. Probe Continues Roche asserted that enough evidence had been obtained already to put the prisoners on trial. “But we are not going to announce names of the captives and start a flood of habeas corpus writs,” the investigator said, “we have many points to clear up first. The band was believed that responsible for wholesale kidnaping of midwest gamblers and men associated with liquor and other illicit enterprises as well as legitimate business men. Though Roche would not state specifically which kidnapers were charged against the abduction syndicate, one was believed to be that of John J. Lynch, General News Bureau head. Ransoms Paid, Report Lynch, whose syndicate distributes racing information, was reported to have been released last August after A1 Capone had been instrumental in reducing the ransom demand from $200,000 to $50,000. Another believed victim of the same syndicate was James Hackett, a Chicago gambler. He was said to have paid $75,000 for his freedom. One report was that both Hackett and Lynch had viewed the prisoners and identified several as having been those who abducted them. Hackett was captured last May and imprisoned for several days. It was believed the ring maintained constant communication between a headquarters in Chicago and units operating out of Peoria and St. Louis. Indentification Claimed Arrangements between members of the band were made for holding prisoners, making ransom demands and obtaining payments from victims. Two hideouts were believed to have been maintained in the Chicago area, both in suburban districts. The Roche investigators were reported to have discovered residents in the neighborhood of the hideaways who identified several prisoners. Recent kidnapings which bore the earmarks of the organized syndicate were those of Fred J. Blumer, wealthy Monroe, Wis., Brewer; Frank Richley, identified by police also as a brewer, and president of Evanston, 111., and W. C. Flanigan, Gary, heavily interested in handbook operation there.

FRENCH TEST OCEAN, PREDICT MILD WEATHER Gulf Stream Takes Inside of Loop, Russia, North Europe, Suffer. By United Press PARIS, Jan. 2.—Thermometers dropped into the Atlantic ocean have led French hydrographers to conclude this will be a mild winter along the Atlantic seaboard of America, France and Britain. It will be a severe winter, they say, for Russia and the Scandinavian states. This winter will resemble that of 1928 with a few cold days and the remainder warm and dry. The Polar seas will be colder than at any time since 1924 and ice will be thick until May. These predictions are based on the swing of the gulf stream current again taking the Inside of the loop. Russia will suffer most for the gulf stream instead of circling into the Polar seas and to the north of Norway as it did least year, does not get beyond Iceland. If the gulf stream failed, France would become uninhabitable in winter. BAPTISTS OPEN SERIES Laymen's Interest Is Spurred in National Council. Baptist laymen aided by Alfred F. Williams of Freeport, 111., began a series of meetings today in the city in the interest of the National Council of Northern Baptist Men.

FOUR BREAKFAST AT WHITE HOUSE

Stand All Night to Shake President’s Hand, Then Invited to Eat. By United Press WASHINGTON, Jan. 2.—Four young men ate bacon and eggs in the white House yesterday, evidence that the impromptu Christmas breakfast for New Year early arrivals may become a presidential tradition. Last year two stood outside in bitter cold for twelve hours, waiting to shake the President’s hand at the annual reception. This year, perhaps inspired by the reflected glory in which the 1931 heroes basked, twice the number showed up. Only two were on hand at the 1 a. m. deadline, but two others joined them as the night wore on. All were invited to breakfast and met Hoover in advance of the reception. Still Holds Record For that reason J. W. Hunefeld, a house painter, claimed his record of being first in line at the public reception still was unbroken. Hunefeld scornd the inveitation to meet the President privately and turned down the breakfast, saying he didn’t drink coffee. This, he later admitted, was to keep his place at the head of the line, a place he had held in 1926, 1928, 1930 and 1931. Hunefeld made one slight miscalculation, however, which gave the early crowd a laugh. When a White House employe arrived at 7:30, Hunefeld called to him: “No use going in there. The cops’ll throw you out and you’ll have to stand behind me, anyhow.” Meet 3,102 Persons The President and Mrs. Hoover shook hands with 3,102 persons, including about twenty-five members of congress, the cabinet and other government officers and members of the diplomatic corps. More than one thousand of the total visitors were officials of one sort or another, leaving less than two thousand private citizens. Last year there were nearly six thousand in line. Wretched weather, cold and rainy, was blamed for the paucity of the outturn. The public reception lasted only an hour. The four immortals were William L. Wilson, Otto Caffer, Martin J. Bredvold, government clerks, and H. Walter Barrows, 14. Cow Drowns in Bucket SAULT STE. MARIE, Mich., Jan. 2. Russell Osborn watered his cow in the barn. He left the building for a short time and upon his return found the animal dead. It drank all but about a quart of water from the pail when its nose became securely wedged in the bucket. Death was due to drowning.

On request, sent with stamped, addressed envelope, Mr. Ripley will furnish proof of anything depicted by him.
