she asked “It seems I get the blam“

believed I never have had anything to
da with his escapades.”
Only a few days ago officers here
y discovered that a girl w ho had elect -
f fd to go to Jail rather than pay a
traffic fine was Mrs. Bradv. Sub-
sequently they detained Mr*. Jim

It?”
"But then.’ she added “he al-

“I can t tell you how happy 1
*m” she said. “I don't care whether
I ever do get to see him again but
it’s a great comfort to know lie is

NEW YORK STOCKS
NEW YORK Jan. 19. <*>—Fi-
nancial markets displayed climbing
tendencies Friday as the dollar lost
most of its Thursday’s advance In
foreign exchange dealings.
While there was no wild rush for
either stocks or staples prices point-
ed upward during most of the ses-
sion. Support shifted fron group to
group in the share transactions
with the rails and industrials step-
ping forward briskly at intervals.
Wheat recovered more than a cent
a bushel and cotton and other
commodities improved. The continu-
ed demand for bonds at substantial-
ly higher quotations was encourag-
ing to the financial district.
Shares of Delaware and Hudson
got up 3. and gainers of 1 to 2 or
more points included U. S. Steel
Santa Fe N. Y. Central Pennsyl-
vania Allied Chemical American
Can American Telephone. Ameri-
can Tobacco B. Case. Chrysler. Du-

Western Union Libby-Owe ns Doug-
las Aircraft. Bethlehem Steel U. S
Smelting Consolidated Gas Public
Service of New Jersey. U. S. Indus-
trial Alcohol and Mathieson Alkali.
The sharp early rally of sterling
apparently was not unexpected in
some brokerage circles although just
what effect the turnabout had on
equity prices was a matter of argu-
ment. Most traders it w as caid are
not now basing their operatl.ig
judgment entirely upon foreign ex-
change movements.
There was a tendency among
bankers however to deplore the
wide swings in International dol-
lar rates and the hope was express-
ed that a currency conference
among the leading powers would be
inaugurated soon

there was more covering or com-

DRAINAGE
(Continued From Page One)
to make definite recommendations
to the board as to what plan should
be presented in Washington.
The application which will be for
several millions will contain plans
fcr the master drainage district
pictures and statements from vari-
ous groups of the Valley stressing
importance of the drainage work.
The state officers assured the Val-
ley group that they would furnish
statements to accompany the appli-
cation indicating that the proposi-
tion contains merit.
The first survey and application
should stress the imperative neces-
sity for the master district and
need not be a mass of engineering
details. Ehlers. state sanitary en-
gineer who has had considerable
experience with federal grants told
the gathering. The thing to do at
this time he said was to sell gov-
ernment officials on the district
with more detailed plans to be
compiled later with assistance of
the government.
“Hie sooner this application is
presented in Washington the bet-
ter its chance will be of being
granted.” the speaker said. “Your
problem should be placed in Wash-
ington within the next 45 days and
certainly during the present ses-
sion of congress.” There is a trend
to tighten down on federal proj-
ects at present the speaker said.
Vance state reclamation en-
gineer. spoke along the same lines
declaring that the vital issue was
to rush up the preliminary en-
gineering survey. The written re-
port to accompany the survey will
be highly important and should be
comprehensively handled the gath-
ering was told. Statements from
governmental agencies and private
industries of the Valley will be
embodied in the application stress-
ing the vital need for adequate
drainage. State department heads
at the meeting indicated that their
departments would furnish similar
statements.
Dr Brown state health officer
said he would favor the drainage
project as a health measure par-
ticularly as a curb against malaria.
He estimated that Valley residents
have paid millions for diseases pos-
sibly caused through lack of proper
drainage.
The state legislature has appro-
priated $15000 to be used for a
survey. Judge A. W. Cunningham
told the gathering but added that
tne comptroller's office has ruled
that it will have to be disbursed
through his office with vouchers.
The district directors are attempting
to have the funds made imme-
diately available through a Valley
depository.
A telegram from the bureau of
irrigation engineer*. U. 8. Depart-
ment of Agriculture indicated that
it would be willing to send a rep-
resentative to this section to aid in
the proposed work.
Hie engineering group was to re-
port back to the board of directors
Friday afternoon with a definite
plan for the drainage district which
car be worked up within a short
time. It will be a condensed
skeleton plan of the district *the
Valley expects the federal govern-
ment to finance. %

BLOODSTAINS
ARE FOUND ON
SEATSOF CAR
ST. PAUL Jan. 19. —UPy—Blood
stains on both front and rear seats
of Edward G Bremer’s automobile
today inspired fears for the safety
of the 37-year-old bank president
held for 9200.000 ransom by kid-
napers who have threatened him
with death.
Splotches of blood smeared the
front seat of the Bremer sedan
when it was found in an outlying
residential district shortly after
10 a. m. Wednesday. It was re-
ported today.
Brutally Slugged?
Indications were the kidnaped
owner and head of the Commercial
State Bank whose father. Adolph
Bremer is a personal friend of
Pres. Roosevelt was brutally slug-
ged over the head when he resist-
ed his captors as they invaded his
car.
Then presumably sources close
to the family said the unconscious
man who at 9:15 a. m.. Wednesday
had left his daughter Betty. 9. at
the exclusive Summit Grade school
and started for his office was
dragged into the back seat which
also was blood stained.
A ransom note left at the home
of Walter Magee wealthy contrac-
tor and friend of the missing man.
gave instructions for assembling
9200.000 for his freedom and warn-
ed he would be killed If the police
were summoned or the newspapers
notified.
Legion Called On
Meanwhile American Legion-
naires were called upon today to
make an active search for Bremer.
Spurred by the death threat the
local Legion outlined plans for a
search by Minnesota members as
well as by members in the neigh-
boring states.
Edward W. Carruth of Harring-
ton Kan. national vice-commander
of the Legion who spoke here last
night endorsed the plan. Both
Bremer and William Hamm Jr.
who paid 9100.000 to kidnapers last
June are legionnaires.
