KIDNAPER TAKEN " IN E Pretended Jitneur Picks Up Passenger and Starts tor Parts Unknown All the thrills of a last reel movie serial wherein the screaming heroine is kidnapped by the dastardly villain were enacted yesterday afternoon in a mad auto chase through Hammond's east side streets when Miss Helen Burkhard of SOS Beall avenue, became the unwilling heroine in a Jitney thriller with Mike Kunlch in the role of abductor. 1 Motorcop Mac Thompson. Just one' week elevated to that job from th: rank of patrolman, played the part of the hero when he sped after the fleeing car containing the screaming heroine and the dastardly villain and rescued the lady from ths toils of the bearded "gashawk." Kunlch, who gave his address as 5013 Alexander avenue, is held here on two charges, kidnapping and speeding. Incidentally, Kunich's supreme gall was manlfest:d when Thompson came dashing up on his motorcycle and Kunich. turning in his seat at the wheel, commanded his prisoner. Miss Burkhard, to say nothing about her forced ride. "He will charge ms with speeding. Don't you say anything. I'll fix it up with you. Everything will be all right." The woman, of course, scorned the entreaty and laid bare the whole situation. Miss Burkhard says sho mistook the car for that of a jitney. She had left her home intending to make a rew purchases down town, sne walked to the corner of Highland street and Calumet avenue. Kunich in his Dodge touring car drove up. On the wlndc.iield was a white and a red card. The woman thought it was a Jitney. The man at the wheel raised his finger, common as a gesture of query by jitney drivers. The woman asked, "going to Hohman street?'" Kunlch is alleged to have answered In the affirmative. Miss Burkhard got in. They drove north. At Summer street Kunich swerved cast. The woman demand ed know why he was going in the wrong direction. Kunich replied that the streets were torn up. Miss Burkhard then susplcioned the intentions of the driver and commanded him to stop. Then he stepped on the gas and the car shot forward traveling at a 40 mile an hour clip. Miss Burkhard screamed and tried to attract the attention of passing motorists. They only laughed and drove on. She would have jumped but the car was going at too high a speed. At Columbia avenue. Kunich was forced to slow down to cross that street which is torn up. It was here that Thompson sat straddling his machine with an eye out for anything wrong. He caught the woman's frantic gestures. He followed the machine and after a wild pursuit caught Kunlch two miles down the road. Miss Burkhard is tall and well proportioned, but at that she -was no match for Kunich, a heavy built foreigner. Arraigned in city court this morning, Kunlch asked a continuance to Wednesday. It was granted. Kunich offered no defense pending his trial. He refused to say what his intentions were in abducting the woman. PROPOSITION TO OF Asks $200 a Month Rental For Basement Comfort Station. A new rate for basement rentals outside the Chicago loop will be established if the board of public worqs accepts the proposition made to them this week by Attorney W. J. Whinery, representing the Beleolos Brothers who are going to build a store and office building at the north west corner of State and Hohman streets, replacing the old Maine Hotel and Central "block. Mr- Whinery stated that his clients would construct In a portion of the fasement a twelve etool comfort station if the city would agree to pay $200 a month rental In order to rive the public tho use of the station. This would amount to 15,4' 0 a year which is practically ground floor prices. If the city installed the automatic doors which opens when a nickel ' dropped in the slot it would take 41.000 nickels to pay the rent for a year.

LOOKS GOOD FOR ENTIRE DELEGATION i .

Beveridge Meeting Said to Outclass Those of Candidate Ralston (TIMES BUREAU AT STATE CAPITALl INDIANAPOLIS, October 7. Optimistic republican leaders .Inspired by the phenomenal success of the Beveridge speaking tour in Indiana, are predicting that the Hoosier state will return a solid delegation of thirteen Republican congressmen to Washington In the fall election. And it appears that there are good grounds for the belief of the leaders. The writer has been of the opinion that the Republicans would elect eleven of the thirteen eongrssmen from the state, with the Democrats regaining two districts. However, recent enthusiasm stirred up by Beveridge and factional differences In some of the doubtful districts among the Democrats, makes it apparent that there is a really good chance for a solid delegation to be returned to the lower House at Washington. It row appears, however, that in only two or three Congressional districts have the Democrats any chance to unseat a Republican congressman. In these districts, recent developments seem to favor the Republican candidates. The election of ex-Senator Albert J. Beveridge to the United States Senate appears to be "on the boards" The ovations received by Be-verldge on the opening of his paking tour in southrn Indiana are being repeated as the nominee covers the northern half of the state, speaking in Republican territory. While Beveridge is presenting a clear-cut program for the relief of the farmer and business man 'by the restoration of normal tims, exGovernor Ralston, Democratic nominee, is floundering about with little to say except to "point with pride" to his four years as Tom Taggart's man Friday In the Go-vernor's chaifH The RaJston campaign. It Is aid by persons who have accompanied the Democrat nominee. " is not getting over with the people." From personal observations with Beveridge while he hat been actively campaigning, the writer can say that Beveridge la "going; big" In every section of the state. Party organizations are letting the oratory taRe care of itself these days and devoting every energy toward the registration of voters on Monday, the final registration day for this year. In organization for registration, it can easily be said that the Republicans are in a much better position than the opposition party. The final drive for the registration ef voters will about tell the tale for the election and the party machinery is expected to function at a high r4te of speed on Monday. State Chairman Lawrence Lyons is urging every Republican voter to Register and thereby become ellglxle for participation in the election. STANLEV PROUD OF KALE: NOW IT'S GONE When Stanley Novak emerged fro mthe kitchen of the South Shore Country Club, where he is employed as cook, yesterday he was emaculate as a count and bore a!l the appearances of t man of wealth.

Visits Home to Arrest Father; Sees Conditions and Shows Real Mercy

List to a tale of the hard-hearted coppers, victims of a false tradition that makes them always the relentless foe of the wrong-doer. Bnt are they always relentless, devoid of kindly impulses, actuated by no sympathetic motive? , Several weeks ago fire destroyed the homo and all that was owned by Herbert Eskrldge, his wife and their brood of six youngsters. This was at the cottage they occupied near LowelL With a little money they came to Hammond. They lived In a hotel. There wis no room to be had elsewhere. Soon the money was gone. By a stroke of fortune Eskrldge smiles sardonically at that word they found two rooms, poorly furnished at 623 Logan street. Eskrldge sought a Job. There wasn't any. In the house was a quarter gas meter. A few quarters went into It. Not much gas came out. Soon there weren't any more quarters; there wasn't any food; the children were semi-clad; the parents were In a quadary. Eskrldge found a job. That was last week. He worked but the company had regular pay days and Eskridge was asked to regulate the stomachs and appetites of his family by the calender. That was harder than trying to regulate the gas meter without any quarters. Finally the children began to cry. They were hungry. They continued hungry. They cried at night, too. MRS. TAPPEN DIES AFTER OPERATION Daath took Mrs. Louise Davis Tappan. 23-year-old wife of Assistant City Engineer Walter Tappan, this morning at St. Margaret's hospital, Hammond, following an operation for a complication of diseases, yesterday morning.

S. and a number of the Esther Rebekah de- . gree- staff. Her kindly nature for others was shown In the adoption of an orphan child last summer.

theatrical producers fiva years and have refused several stage offers. Both sirla are noted for their beauty. Eskridge driven to desperation, forged a check. He went into a grocery store at State and Calumet. It's operated by Rose Jaffee. There he bought $5 worth of groceries. He wrote a check, forging the name of P. J. Belamy. The check mas returned by the bank. Ths storekeeper sought recourse 1n the law. Enter the hard-hearted copper. Sergeant Nick Einslle detailed to the case. He finds Eskridge. He is taken to the man's home. There Eskridge points out the plight . of his family. The detective listens to the story. He looks at "Exhibit A holding the check in his hand. He puts It Into his pocket and draws out 5. He places that. In the hands of the storekeeper. The check Is made good. Einslle returns to the station. He has freed Eskrldge; has personally made good the check; and now makes a plan to his brother ofneers for the six children. He pins "Exhibit A" to a sheet of note paper. Under It he writes the history of the case. Then he starts a fund for the family. Other officers file up. They put down their namo; plank down their money" and feel that they are performing an obligation. The police department has adopted a family. But that shouldn't hinder others in the city from aiding. If there's any who would like to do a bit toward putting Eskrldge on his feet call Sgt. Nick Einslle at Central police satticn. S. 0. CO.

"I propose to confess Judgment in behalf of the defendant and collect it In behalf of the plaintiff. , "Lew," said the court to his bailiff, "adjourn court for the afternoon. I want to go In and tell this one to Judge Reiter. He'll laugh himself sick." Attorneys declare that the fellow had the right system but use the wrong methods. He should have worked something like this: Enters courtroom wearing frock coat, brown derby and gray wig. Makes argument for plaintiff. Slips out of courtroom. Changes frock coat for duster, discards wig, puts on auto gloves and cap and dashes Into courtroom, saying "I am the attorney for the defendant in this case, your honor.
