“kind” member of the gang

Basil Banghart Named
During Trial of Touhy
Cang for Kidnaping
CHICAGO; —(#) — The words,
“that's the man” tvom the children
linked Bdsil Banghart “Owl” of
the underworld, with the $70,000
abduction of John Factor, interna
tional speculator.
Their accusations came just be
fore the state closed its second ef
fort to send Roger Touhy and two
co-defendants e¢o the electric chair
for the kidnaping. The first trial
ended with a deadlocked jury. $
Banghart, living up to his dime
novel reputation, stood sulienly
before the witness stand, his mop
of sandy hair hanging over his
bowed head.
As he was brought into the
courtroom yesterday he heard the
excited treble of first the boy, Leo
Landall, 14, and then the girl Mar
guerite Landall, 9, as they ex
claimed, “that’s the man’.
Banghart, the children testified
persuaded .Iqlm Landall Leo's
father, to drive him from the
Landall home in Westchester last
Aug, 15, to Chieago. This, the
state charged, enabled him to elude
a police' trap, after attempting to
collect additional ransom of
$50,000 from Factor.
Banghart, Who is not on trial,
was captured on Feb, 11 in Balti
more with Isaac Coster, another
member of the Touhy gang, who
turned state’s evidence.
He was returned to-court a few
‘minutes ater to be identified by two
policemen, #rank McKenna and
John R. Meyer, who, disguised as
a telegraph messenger boy and
cab driver, said they handed a
decoy ransom package to Banghart
and Charles (Ice Wagon) Connors.
The latter is still a fugitive.
The policemen sald the two es
caped from police squads amid
machine gun fire, later abandoning
their automobile.

' Washington's ancestry was not

la. real boy. 1 like to think of him
as a man Mot too far removed from

MOSCOW.—(A)—Crumbling ice

ship-wreck victims marooned on

The stranded party — including

on the ice when their steamer, the

from the island, February 13.
First real fears for their safety
were aroused when the govern

blocked all efforts to reach them.
Food supplies are plentiful, the
commisgion said, but the ice field
was reported to be disintegrating.
The fact it was being driven

hopes for rescue.
Sixty dog teams started out days

hours after he confessed an
abortive plot to kidnap Eman
uel Philip Adler of Davenport,

quette police station cell. He
died “soon after police found

from the cell bars., They called

CHICAGO.~— (#) —A prisoner’s
dramatic confession that he plot
ted to kidnap E. P. Adler, Dav
enport, lowa, publisher, for $40,000
ransom, marked a new victory
Thursday in the drive to end the
snatch racket.
The plot was frustrated by the
plucky resistance of the 61-year
sld publisher and bank president.
When Charles Phillips, alias Fred
Mayo, and an accomplice slugged
him with a blackjack Wednesday
in the Morrison hotel, Adler fought
them off.
Phillips, captured a short time
later, admitted Wednesday night,
after 15 hours of questioning, that
he and his companion, known as
Jack Wyman of Des Moines, plan
ned to put Adler into a trunk and
ship him to a southside flat to
await ransom negotiations.
Thursday pollce' flung a wide net
for Wyman, who was still at
large. :
' Suddenly breaking down, Phil
lips confessed to Sergeant Thomas
Kelly that he and Wyman came
from Des Moines, Towa, determin
ed to slug, drug and Kkidnap Ad
ler. .
A woman, believed by police to
be Wyman’s wife, was seized at
th® south side flat for questioning.
She said her name was Mrs. Min
nie Lacey. *
It was his first . “job” in the
snatch racket, Phillips teld police.
Phillips was seized when he re
turned to his hotel room close to
one in which Adler was staying.
He gave his home as Birmingham,
Ala., and for hours insisted rob
bery and npot kidnaping was the
motive. Asked why he had denied
the plot he said:
“PThe whole country is dead set
against kidnapers and when I was
caught I thought I would not have
a chance to escape the death pen
alty. The whole thing got on my
nerves and finally I decided to tell
everzthing.” ’
He said he met Wyman in Des
Moines, where both were out of
work, and that they decided there
to snatch Adler, who is the owner
of the Davenport Times, president
of the Davenport Savings Bank
and Trust company, and head of
the Lee syndicate ©f newspapers.

Exhibit of Earliest Newspapers and Old
Scrapbooks on Display at Memorial Hall
Editor's Note: The following
. article was written by Mrs.
Nicholson, at the request of
the University librarian.
A half dozen copies of the
earliest newspapers published in
the state, and two old scrapbooks
that Mrs. Anne E. Grady and her
daughter, Mrs. William Kennon,
made of clippings from Bostop
newspapers, as well as Atlanta
ones, of Henry Grady’'s last speech
in Boston, notices of his illness,
death and burial were on display at
Memorial Hall, at ithe opening re
ception, Wednesday evening, for
the Georgia Press Institute.
These scrapbooks have gone
through fire, the edges have been
burmed, they have been drenched
with water, part of the roof has
fallen on them, but they have
emerged in legible condition.
As the books had been given by
Mrs. Grady to her nephew and his
wife, Mr. and Mrs. Madison C.
Nicholson, the books were injured
when the old Nichplson home‘;
which had stood nearly a hundred
years, caught on fire in 1928.
This old house on Hull street

War Between Russia and
Japan Almost Certain;
Urges U.S. Steer Clear
ENTANGLEMENTS HIT
Be Prepared, Then Ask
Other Nations to
Take a Look
The United States can and must
stay out of the conflict that is now
brewing in Europe and the Far
East, Arthur Brigbane told an au
dience of over four thousand that
packed Woodruff all this morning
to hear him.
This nation, said Mr. Brisbane,
can remain alcof from foreign
wars, but the only sure way to do
gO, in his opinion, is to prepare
now, for the strife that is almost
inevitable. The TUnited States
may, he said, give what it will to
other nations, but as for asking for
anything, it should never be done.
Quoting George Washington,
whose birthday anniversary his
address commemorated, the fa
mous writer said “There is no
greater error than to expect or
calculate real favors from one na
tlon to another. .
In a brief reference to the Far
Eastern situation, the speaker said
that he considered war between
Russia and Japan almost inevita
ble. “And in Europe”, he continued,
I“tho situation is almost as bad.”
. “The people of the United States
forgot Washington's advice in the
last war,” he expiained, “The true
policy of thi# nation is to steer
'clear of foreign entanglements.”
; Not only, said the writer, should
we steer clear of diplomatic en
tanglements, but alsoc of such other
“insiduous wiles” as might menace
the true ideals of this country,
namely a worship of pomp and
titles and undemocratic concepts.
~ Mr. Brisbane has been ill re
cently and was under physician’s
orders to remaln in bed, but hae
said that he wished to see more of
the state that merited such esteem
from President Roosevelt.
The audience which filled each
of the forty rows on the main floor
of Woodruff hall. forty-eight seats
across, and packed both sides and
balconies, interrupted Mr. Bris.
bane on numerous times during his
speech with applause. Speaking
in a low husky woice that occass
ionally rose in emphasis, he sum
marized the outstanding precepts
of George Washington, dwelling
particularly on those relating to
the participation of this country in
European affairs. o
One of the outstanding features
of the sesslon here this week of
the Seventh. annual Georgia Press
institute, Mr. Brishane addressed
his remarks particularly to editors
and young men and women pre
paring for journalism. It is ‘“the
duty of every editor, he contended.
to build up in their readers’ minds
an attitude that will not be con
ducive to precipitately entering a
war that is neither necessary or
unavoidable.
The nations of the world are to
day where man was five thousand
years ago, in that they persist in
settling their disputes by force of
arms, rather than by arbitration.
Since this is true, Mr. Brisbane
