"Young and vigorous, grasping firmly the pastoral staff, he ascends his throne with elastic step, con scious of the responsibility and feli citude which the mitre contains, yet cheerful in spirit and stout of heart to serve God and the church in Amer ica by serving you."

My motto will be to be of ser vice and useful to all men." Predecessors Present. Bishop Kucera told of his glad ness at having Archbishop Francis J. Beckman of Dubuque, la., who was his predecessor at Lincoln, preside at the ceremony of installation, and at the presence also of Bishop J. H. Tihen of Denver, formerly of Lin coln.

Blair Enterprise. Confess Kid naping of Galva, IHiEois, Banker At rests Made Reveal That Gan? Fail ed to Receive the $50,000 De manded as Ransom. KSn wan ee, 111.. Oct. 30. Mystery about the kidnaping for ransom of Earl Yocum, millionaire Galva bank president, was dispelled Thursday with the arrest of two men and the alleged confession of one of them. Who said that Yocum obtained his release on a promise to pay $10,000 and that he failed to pay it. The alleged confession, made to Chief of Police John D. Krumtinger of Kewanee by Verne Algreen, a Gal va mechanic, related that the banker was held, blindfolded, in a hunting lodge at Lacon, 111., on the Illinois river. The others implicated, all Henry county residents, were Orville and Harry Whiskers and Lloyd Winslow, an ex-convict. Harry Whiskers was arretted Tuesday, the day before Yo cum's release, on a warrant charg ing kidnaping. Warrants for all four wei'e obtained Monday after Sheriff Claries Nash received information from Ed McKee, a farmer, that the men offered him $100 a day for the nse of his farm as a prison for Yo cum. Suppression of the warrants until Thursday led to the supposition that authorities were without any clue in the kidnaping, for Yocum's wife steadfastly refused to divulge the contents of two notes she received from her husband while he was cap- tjve. .or Wife Worked on Case. However, it was revealed Thurs day that Mrs. Yocum had been co operating with the Illinois Bankers association to track down her hus baud's abductors. Yocum, too, when he returned to his home Wednesday morning declar ed he would not co-operate in track ing down the gang. He was seized last Saturday night and held three days. The essentials of Algreen's con fession, as related by Chief Krumtin ger, were: The men drugged Yocum wheu they seized him in front of his home Saturday night. They drove east to Lacon. stopping to repair two flat tiros en route. Their first ransom demands were for $200,000. This was cut to $100,000. then $50,000. Finally Yocum promised he would pay $10,000, providing they released him first. The $10,000 was to be left on a road, the spot marked by a write flag, and the conspirators were to collect it Wednesday night. They found the flag and picked up a package. It contained a wooden block. Police and vigilantes were called to guard the Yocum home Wednes day night when he reported he had received a telephone threat from the gang when the men found they had been duped. Denies Gun Battle. Algreen was not quoted as saying anything in his confession about a gun battle with highway policemen Thursday shortly before his capture. i when posses were scouring the coun ty with airplanes overhead to belp spot the quarry. The gun battle occurred after the blghway policemen chased an auto I into a rornflbld. Townspeople are said to have recognized Algreen as lone of the men wbo fled from the machine. Shortly afterwards he was captures! in a farmhouse by Chief Krumtinger and a representative of tho bankers' association. Algreen stated he and theothers had plotted the kidnaping for two months. Harry Whiskers, he said, ob tained a license as a milk peddler at Galva so as to observe the banker. He learned that Yocum attended the movies with his family every Satur day night. Accordingly, Algreen said, the gang waited for him to return from the show last Saturday night. Oma ha Bee-News. PREPARES GLIDER TO BREAK OWN LOOP RECORD Los Angeles, Cal.. Oct. 29.

Mitchell Ruling is Said to Favor Power Groups jof the Power Commission since it waa : first established in 1920, and in the .view of conservationists threatens the frustration cf the very ends for which the commission was established. The essence of the Mitchell ruling , is that the power commission is not required to apply its jurisdiction and regulation over the non-navigable tributaries of navigable streams. Up 'to now it has been the custom of the ias of far-reaching, iuipsr- tance j tary of the commission, whose testi mony before the Couzens senatorial j committee showed him unsympath j etic to strict federal regulation, now contends that the Mitchell ru1isg,9tibr jstantiates claims of certain status UL2lIFZ?' iTi ' ....
