Police Tracing Ransom Notes Letters Demanding Cash Re ceived by Father of Kid naped Infant. New York, Aug. 24.—Police today were attempting to locate the writers of two letters received yesterday by Peter McKenzie, father of 3-nionths old Lillian, who was kidnaped from Manhattan street last Saturday. Each letter—one from Brooklyn and one front Rutherford, N. J.—asked for J 1,000 ransom for the return of the baby. Police do not attach much Impor tance to the Rutherford letter, which appeared to have been written by a lunatic, according to Mr. McKenzie, but they seemed greatly Intefcsted In 1 Ij-^'.iota from Brooklyn. ’ This letter declared Lillian had been stolen "just because of all the dirty tricks you did me." The father said he knew of no one whom he had Injured In any way. The other letter, written In purple, ink. was signed "K. K.

T, Meredith Profits from 240-Acre Farm in Lieu of Damages. By Associated Press. Jewell, la., Aug. 24.—Declaring that he would be "only too glad” to go under oath to "tell the farmers of Iowa and the United States what I have learned about the financial schemes to drive them back to peas antry,” United States Sen. Smith W. Brookhart, addressing an American Legion picnic here today, renewed his attack on E. T. Meredith, former secretary of agriculture, with whom he has taken issue on the financial condition of the farmer. It was Mr. Brookhart's first public reference to Mr. Meredith since the latter an nounced his intention to file a suit for alleged libel against the senator. Mr. Meredith too, would be under oath, said the senator and “we will find out from his own mouth whether he made a fight against the deflation of the farmers or whether he sat mum In the Wall street game,” Senator Brookhart attacked Mr. Meredith's figures and statements on war finance corporation loans to Iowa farmers, and told his audience that "the time has come when the farm ers should kick the Merediths out over the dashboard and figure their own business for themselves." The senator declared he would "like to offer” Mr. Meredith the profits from his 240-acre farm in settlement of the proposed 30 cents libel damage suit. If Mr. Meredith should accept, under the condition that he pay the operating costs, interest and taxes, said Mr. Brookhart, "I would be sev eral hundred dollars ahead." His address follows. In party: "My speech at Radcliffe seems to have offended Mr. K. T. Meredith very grievously and now he proposes to sue me for 30 cents damages. I am glad that he has been so considerate In the amount, for if he beats me that is about all that I can save out of my Balary afte^ paying this year's deficit on my farm. “But Mg, Meredith does not want to settle. He wants to put me on record under oath. This I welcome. I will be only too glad to tell the , farmers of Iowa and of the United States under oath what I have learned about the financial schemes to drive them back to peasantry. "The Manufacturers’ Record says the deflation policy cost the farmers of the United States $32,000,000,000— $1S,000,000,000 in reduction of land value and $14,000,000,000 upon the crops of 1920 and 1921. The Depart ment of Commerce put this last item at $17,000,000,000, but Mr. Meredith in his statements intimates he never heard of these deflations. "He says the issue between us is whether the American farmers' finan cial condition is worse this year than last. There is no such issue with me. The only issue with me is whether or not the farmer is getting a square deal this year, last year and every other year. And I deny he is getting it. He was behind in 1921, he went more behind in 1922 and he is going more behind*in 1923, In spite of the 15 1-2 per cent so-called 'better off of the Agriculture department." Timbuctoo Men Work Best When Beaten. Peeress Savs - ' j London. Aug. 24.—If you ever go to TJmbuctoo and find that the na-. tives are shirking on the Job, just grab the first hairbrush you can get, hold of and beat them. , This is the recipe for getting work out of the Tlmbuctans brought to London by Lady Dorothy Mills, who has Just returned from that country. Lady Dorothy declares she was told that she was the first Englishwoman to journey there. "The natives,” said Lady Dorothy, "are inclined to be very lazy, particu larly when employed by a woman. So I used to beat them every day, sometimes with my hairbrush, in or der to keep them working. But even that would not always suffice, so I used to bribe them by promising them a sheep or a kola nut In order to in duce them to work. When they had a sheep they gorged and gorged and then worked willingly.” Kat Chiefs. Among the quaint customs of the natives observed by Lady Dorothy is that of "pointing” their teeth so that they can eat their chiefs when they die. Once when the French authori ties protested over a prospective feast the natives replied that they hadn’t eaten a man for six months and that It was essential that they should eat the man in question as he "wasn’t a great chief, anyway.” "I arrived in Timbuctoo about the middle of February," I-ady Dorothy said, "and was there about a fort night. It was intensely hot, the tem perature being about 130 degrees in the shade, and I had to place wet cloths at the side of my bed in order to save myself from being burned by the side of the boat in which I traveled from Bamako to Timbuctoo. At times we ran short of food, as it was dangerous to go into the villages owing to the prevalence of _yellow fever. "On arriving at Timbuctoo I saw a motor car—modernism in the midst of complete barbarism. Man Wounded in Hand Special Dispatch to Th« Omaha Bee.
