Mr. Horst, a laborer. said that he had no money to pay for ran- som and discounted the idéa that ab- ductors knowingly carried away his child The young son of Horst’s wealthy neighbors is said to beag a striking re- semblance to Melvin, who early Thurs- day evening disappeared. He had been playing with a chum not far from his home and started home about supper time, pulling a little express wagon. Apparently he had reached the yard of his home, for the wagon was found there. If kidnapers were lying in walt in the neighborhood, {t ta entirely. possi- ble that they mistook the Horst boy for the neighbor’s son and carried him away without cAscovering the mistake, officials said.

Rewards totaling $1,600 have been offered for the safe return of the boy. / Columbus, Ohio, Dec. 30 (A.P.).— search for Melvin Horst, missing ville, Ohlo, boy, turned toward Colum- bus tonight, setting the entire detec- tive force at work.

A detailed description of the lad was telephoned to Orville, where officials said it checked tn every particular with that of Melvin, who disappeared from home last Thursday.

The uncertainties of the situation have thrown a scare into night club operators which causes them to *‘on- sider their existence more precarious than it has been for months. Extension of Raids. Extension of the raids into their ter- ritories before the New Year's cele- bration would spell ruin for many of them who have been stringing along with indifferent patronage expecting a $15,000 or more net on New Year's Eve to wipe the red ink off their led- ers. ’ Their best efforts today failed to reveal whether the police raids will be resumed Monday. The appearance of city pclice raiding parties on Broadway side streets, Satur- day night was received with uncon- cealed alarm, although only five small places in the West Forties and Fifties were visited.

W. Vanderburg, wealthy Gaston County farmer, near here early Friday attorneys for Jacob Vanderburg, 17, sole survivor, today an- nounced that every effort would be made to prove that the slaying was done by an enemy of the older Vander- burg. Jacob Vanderburg is held in the Jail here On suspicion of having slain his father, mother, two sisters and broth- er and then set fire to their home in an effort to burn the bodies. He was not permitted to go to their funeral at Hickory yesterday afternoon. Lawyer Is Permitted. Soon after the coroner’s inquest had been postponed until January 5, young Vanderburg engaged three attorneys, headed by Marvin Ritch, of Charlotte. Rich, due to the fact that the youth is a minor, secured a court order from Superior Judge Harding approving the employment. The first move of the attorney was to employ a private detective to work inebehalf of the defense. He announced also that a second ax had been found in the ruins of the house. The Vander- burgs are believed to have been killed with an ax found in the ruins at the spot where the bedrooms of the home are located. The second ax, Mr. Ritch said, was found under the ruins of the kitchen near the spot where the suspected youth says he placed it when he took it into the house Thurs- day night. “I have several eye-witnesses to the fact that a small boy dug a second ax out of the ashes by the kitchen stove,” said Mr. Ritch, in announcing the find- ing of the second ax. “It was rignt where Jacob Vanderburg said he left his ax when he brought it into the house Thursday night to keep it from being stolen.” Hints At a Motive. Declaring the State could not prove a motive for the killing the attorney said that he could “show that another could have had a motive.” “I do nov yet possess the evidence to show that such a motive that I have in mind im- pelled the individual I have in mind to Kill and burn. In my opinion the killings were the culmination of a long- standing feud and a burning desire to redress old-time grievances.” Just what this feud may have been was not disclosed. J. W. Vanderburg was one of the wealthiest farmers in this country. He owned 200 acres of farm land, and Is reputed to have held quite a few mortgages on real estate Two Bombs and Boiler Blasts Break Windows — — New York, Dec. 30 (U.P.).—Three ex- plosions—two from bombs, the third from a furnace boiler—shook separate sections of the city today.

She explained in part the de- tails of the shooting. “We had an argument,” she _ said. “When Jay is sober he is the finest man in the world. When he is drunk, he ts one of the meanest. He slapped me.

Representative Cordell Hull, of Ten- nessee, former Democratic national] committee chairman, yesterday repu- diated the Gov. Smith campaign tariff stand in a statement demanding down- ward revision and predicting a dire eco- nomic future if another Republican tariff increase is made. He challenged the Republican doctrine that prosper- ity is due to the tariff. New and changed postwar conditions demand foreign markets rather than excessive tariff protection, he _ said, characterizing present rates as too high. This contradicts the stand made during the campaign by Smith, who advocated what he called a comparative tariff, and promised to give the farmer pro- tection as well as industry. Hull framed his statement, as! a party document, calling on the Democratic party to combat with all its strength the Republican proposal to revise the tariff upward, Opposes Methed of Getting Rates. “The Republican practice of accept- ing large campaign funds from tariff beneficiaries and later permitting them to come to Washington and write their own rates on the plea that the tariff must be revised by its friends should be met by a Democratic challenge and a demand that Congress, o the exercise of its own functions and prerogatives, shall write the rates,” Hull sald. Here again Hull differed from Smith, who proposed that Congress should change tariff rates on the advice of @ nonpartisan tariff commission more expert than the present one. Hull is regarded as one of the most expert pol- iticlans of .the minority party, both in economics and party maneuvering. He was considered at the Houston con- vention for the Vice Presidency, and he has a strong following in the South- ern branches of the party. As a minority member of the ways and means committee, which will open & seven-week seriss tariff hearin January 7 as a prelimin tariff bill, Hull will lead t to the measure. His statement, going at length into the international situa- tion, left no doubt he considers further tariff increases as ruinous economic- ally. Conditions Changed Since 1914. “American economic policy can no longer ignore the fact that since 1914 we have changed from a debtor and small-surplus nation to the greatest creditor and actual or potential sur- plus-producing nation in the world; that, due, not to tariff, but to our su- perior labor, machinery, horsepower and to mass production, we maintain higher wages and living standards and lower production costs in an increas- ing number of industries, than any other country,” Hull said. American high wages and living standards originated in the automo- bile, building, railroad and other “un- protected” industries, he asserted. Hull also said “real wages’’-—based on buy- ing power—-have increased only 21% per cent since 1923. Tariffs merely transfer wealth from one class to an- other without affecting the total of a nation’s wealth, he argued. He said America’s productive capacity is 25 per cent above its consuming power. — —— — — — — — Opera Pump Charming in Gold or Silver Kid with rich colors of Brocade, at 15.00 or crepe in colors ~ at 13.50.
