KIDNAPING STORY IS TOLD

Elkhart Police At Loss As To Steps To Take In Probe Asked By . Aged Man '

Elkhart policeare conducting an investigation into thec ase of Emanuel C. Yorder 60-year-old farmer living south of Elkhart near Station No. 22 who Wednesday reported that a certificate of deposit on a Warsaw bank for $5,726.18 had been stolen from him Tuesday by two men who kept him a captive during the day and forced him to drive them through out northwestern Indiana. ; Yoder at the Elkhart detective bureau, said the certificate had been given -to him on Monday by “H. R. Smith” of southwest of Mentone. A check-up of Warsaw banks revealed that to their knowledge no gsuch certificate of deposit had been issued by either institution to any “H. R. Smith” The bank at Mentone ~é;;d., reported it had no such certiZate outstanding, and from this bank it was also learned that no “H. R. Smith” is known in that vicinity. In his report to Elkhart police Yoder said that his captors had taken the certificate of deposit but he did not say they had cashed it. : At 11:40 Tuesday night Yoder appeared at the LaPorte police station in a nervous condition and reported the robbery saying .that his captors after riding him ' around the country -blindfolded for many hours had taken him into what appeared to him to be a brokerage office, they had taken off the blindfold and forced him to cash the certificate and hand the money over to them, _ Because of the many contradicting and unexplainable bits of the story Elkhart police were at a loss as to what to make of the case. ;

CHICAGO POLICE SHAKEUP

700 Detectives to Walk Beat While Alcock Order Cuts Detective Staif to 200 ‘

Police officers by the hundreds were mustered out of “unnecessary” jobs in the detective bureau put in uniform and sent to the front lines today in Chicago’s warfare against gangland. As the drastic reorganization commands of John “Iron Man” Alcock new commissioner of police were carried out the detective bureau staff was reduced from 900 to 200 men. The 700 policemen affected by. the cut were ordered to patrol beats in various sections of the city. | Alcock’s maneuver in strengthening the ranks of the department’s “beat pounders” was based on his belief that the only way of coping with crime and vice is to have uniformed policemen making the rounds. e - The transfers reassignments demotions and promotions made by ;he commissioner constituted a police department “shakeup” unprecedented in Chicago and resulted from the broadsides of criticism hurled against the police for their failure to solve the slaying of Alfred J. Lingle Chicago Tribune reporter. L - In line with Alcock’s preparations for a great drive against crime as insistently demanded by the press, pulpit and Chicago public in general since the murder of Lingle the city’s five police districts under the old system were done away with. ! Deputy commissioners who had been in charge of the districts were reduced to their civil service rank of captain and held in readiness for) transfers to posts where “there’ll be no buck-passing” according to Alcock

ADJOURNMENT AWAITED

Solons Anxious To Start Summer Vacations and Look Forward to End v This Week ,

Wearily and hopefully senate leaders looked forward Friday to adjourn ment some time this week and gave' their backing to efforts to make this possible. . The first step was- the negotiation of agreements for votes on the World war pensions bill and the rivers and harbors measure. They were confident these would be disposed of by the end of the week, with the close of the session to follow shortly thereafter. It was arranged that the veterans measure be given first attention provided an agreement for a vote could be reached. It had widespread support and there was every likelihood of passage by nightfall. Next on the program Chairman Johnson of the commerce committee intends to press to a speedy termination the controversy over tlie rivers and harbors measure which centers around the amount of water to be withdrawn from the Great Lakes for the Illinois waterway project. Meanwhile the house was ready to act on the second deficiency measure carrying funds to meet new projects authorized by legislation at this session and for emergency situations. Quick disposition of this measure in the senate is planned. - '

Hubby Does Some Back- ‘ Seat Driving in Kitchen What's the trouble, anyhow, aren't you going to get any dinner tonight? You sure are getting a late start. Watch out there, can’t you see you have the gas turned too high? Why don’t you put some water in that teakettle or élse take it off the fire? Hey, you, don't shake that sifter so hard, you are getting flour all over the floor. My goodness alive, that bread won’t be fit to eat if you put all that salt In 1t; Look out, you came very near cutting your hand severely with that can opener. What’s the special attraction outside; den’t you realize that you can’t look out the window and scramble eggs at the same time? For pity’s sake, are. you blind! Look at that oven thermometer, over 50 degrees too high, Why don’t you turn off those jets when you have nothing cooking over them? No wonder the gas bill runs over $lO every month. Holy smokes, turn that meat over before it burns to a crisp. I don’t believe you would ever get a meanl ready if I didn’t come out here and help you.—Kansas City Times.

Humble Ax Revealed as Instrument of Romance

The ax is a tool of romance. In almost every age it has played a major part in man’s struggle for existence. ; .

From earliest history, on down through the Stone age, the Bronze age and the Iron age, and more especially’ during the time of America’s early pioneers—the ax has been the indispensable friend of man. : With the building of primitive log cabins went the bullding, too, of strong characters and stout muscles. -~ Washington, Boone, Lincoln, Roosevelt, Gladstone of England, and many other great mames in history are associated with the ax. ‘

No other tool promotes the same kinship of man with nature. Through its medium one captures the spirit of the forest, one senses that feeling of satisfaction which comes through aiding the growth of majestic trees, by the removal of deformities,. weak specimens and flre hazards—Peter McLaren, America’s champlon chopper, in the Ax Manual. sy

Smoke and Sight

It probably has never occurred to many smokers that much of the pleasure in the habit is derived from seeing the smoke curl up from one's cigar, cigarette or pipe. It had never occurred to the Sun’s Rays reporter either until recently when he offered a cigarette to a blind man, who had onece been an inveterate smoker. . ,

“No, thank you,” the sightless man replied. “I have never smoked since I became blind, although I ence thought I could not do without my tobacco. I don’t care anything about it now because I can’t see the smoke.

, ‘“As a general Tule, if you'll notice, you'll find that very few blind persons smoke. After all,” he added philosophically, “smoking is a negative pleasure, anyway.”—New York Sun.

Diet and Character

Doctor Fiessinger, a French physician, states that national diet largely determines national temperament. The French character has been influenced by wine, women and a high culinary art. The German character, on the other hand, has been influenced by beer and coarser and more homely diet. Women iy Germany are regarded more in the light of toilers. Americans, says the doctor, have assimi.lated characteristics of all the nationalities from which they sprang and have discarded both traditions and foods which might stand in the way of their progress.. =

There were 35 present, who enjoyed a wonderful feast of fresh native fish,l prepared by Chef Clarence R.

Trying Ordeal

A world war veteran was recovering in BEpworth hospital at South Bend today from an ordeal without known parallel and a few equals in the history of human suffering. For five long hours—made trebly long by the hush of night—W. T. Mitchel] of West Alice, Wis., lay 'paralyzed with his head resting on a railroad rail, fearing that any moment a train might descend to crush out his life. Mitchell was unable to call for aid, being conscious only of the impending fate should a train arrive. He became ill and fell on the railroad track. The blow on his head as it struck the rail paralyzed him. Later he learned the railroad on avhich he lay was the old South Bend, St. Joseph &Southern over which no train had passed in seven years. . : SR
