Stoll Kidnap Case Ended; 7 Arrest Made Return Ransom Victim Home Last Night Federal Agents Trail Car To Indianapolis Hideout BULLETIN! STOLL KIDNAP CASE ENDED Louisville, Ky., Oct. 16—(AP)— Mrs. Alice Speed Stoll was return ed to her home here tonight. The Courier-Journal says that less than an hour after Mrs. Stoll was released, three persons taken into custody by investigators of the kidnaping. The party was accompanied by a federal agent and was expected to reach Louisville within a short time. The informantion received here was that Mrs. Stoll was ac companied by the Rev. E. Arnold Clegg, pastor of the Capital Meth odist Episcopal church, Indianapo lis, and his wife, and Mrs. Thomas H. Robinson of Nashville, Tenn. Professions of ignorance as to the return of Mrs. Stoll came from members of the family who were canvassed by telephone as soon as the report was received. “This has been a big day, please get off the wire,” was the remark of Berry V. Stoll, husband of the victim. Other members of the family said they had heard nothing of the report. The Courier-Journal said the break in the case came when Mrs. Robinson who had been under sur veillance at Nashville, picked up the ransom package in Nashville. Federal agents trailed Mrs. Rob inson from Nashville to Terre Haute, Ind., where an attempt was made to bet Mrs. Robinson to get into a taxicab driven by a federal agent. This move failed when she decided to take another cab. From there Mrs. Robinson was trailed to Indianapolis and to the home of the Cleggs. During the afternoon, Mrs. Stoll was allowed to call her home near here. The telephone call was traced to the Clegg home in In dianapolis. Federal agents, watching the In dianapolis hideout, saw a Stude baker automobile containing Mrs. Stoll leave the Clegg residence early Tuesday night. An automobile containing fed eral agents followed the car as it took the road to Louisville. Anoth er squad of agents was dispatched from Louisville to intercept it. The automobile was halted on the road and Mrs. Stoll was res cued. Louisville, Oct., 16—(AP)—Alice Speed Stoll was elaborately guard ed from early childhood against kidnapers. Fear of them was the one thing that kept her mother from com plete enjoyment of the children. After marriage Alice continued the precautions. She practiced pis tol shooting. She kept a vicious dog. She became the victim of one of the nation’s most sensational kidnapings. Mr. and Mrs. William Shallcross Speed, members of one of Kentuc ky’s oldest and wealthiest families always realized their immense for tune might be a magnet to draw ill to them in that way. It has been estimated as high as $10,000,000. Friends of the family recalled today the vigilance begun when Alice was born at the fortress-like home of her grandfather, James Breckinridge Speed, in Louisville.

Deviation From Original i i Plan Takes Work of I Unemployed New York, N. Y„ (NSFA )—FE RA appropriations aimed to in crease college enrollment this year have been apportioned to approxi mately 12 per cent of the students now registered throughout the country. In every case applications for jobs were double the number possible to fill. Financial need, scholastic re cord and priority of application were the factors considered in al lotting positions. And because of overflow requests the work has in many cases been divided between two students who will execute the job during alternate months. At Kent State college, for ex ample, 223 undergraduates are en gaged in the 132 positions avail able and at Nebraska State Teach ers college there are only §1 jobs for 86 appointees. Under FERA ruling at least 50 per cent of the appropriations must be earned by students who were not enrolled a year ago and each college has divided funds pro portionately between men and wo men. Such varied occupations as cheking traffic and parking vio lations, repairing furniture, tend ing children, testing water and milk, tree surgery, construction of campus improvements, research, library, stenographic and clerical work are included in lists of jobs filled. There has recently been consid erable criticism of the type of work these students are currently engaged in. From many quarters comes the reflection that the spirit Deadline for Second Installment of Tuition Saturday, October 20 Saturday noon, October 20. is the dead line for the second in stallment of registration fees and non-resident fees. A penal ty of 25 cents each day will be charged for late payments be ginning Monday, October 22. in which the appropriations were made has been violated in that undergraduates are being employ ed in place of older people, given work that unemployed could ac complish. In devising this plan to increase college enrollmemnt, the educa tional department of FERA voiced the hope that jobs allotted would be new ones, that work in the fields of education, government and social service at present left entirely undone should be devised for students benefiting from the appropriations. Surveys of housing conditions, election registration checks, investigations of social needs, apprenticeships to govern ment officials, posts in literary classes are a few of the possibili ties which the originators of the plan had in mind. Construction, stenographic and clerical work, jobs which the already unemployed are in need of, are being filled in stead of the newly devised occupa tions which in no way interfere with the general employment sit uation. College Women to Confer at Astoria Several members of the faculty will attend the 11th annual confer ence of the American Association of University Women to be held at Astoria, October 19 and 20. Mrs. Virgil Earl, president of the Oregon state branch of the as sociation, Dr. C. L. Huffaker of the school of education, Dean Al ice B. Macduff, and Miss Mozelle Hair of the extension department are slated to appear on the pro gram. Dr. Huffaker will speak on “An Evaluation of the Public Schools in Oregon," and Mrs. Macduff will discuss "Travel Methods” as per taining to international relations. Mrs. Macduff visited in the Orient this summer. Dr. Norman Coleman of Reed college will be the principal speak er on Friday, October 19. Ancient Volume Kept in Library The oldest book in the Univer sity library is an ancient arithme tic, geometry and music book pub lished in 1492 in Venice. The book Was written about 900 years be fore that time by Boethius. It is written in Latin and is in the Gothic style of lettering. According to old ideas, music was part of an arithmetic or geom etry course and so was included in the book. With medieval musical writers Boethius' works carried as much weight as those of Aristotle with the philosophers. The author came to a premature end as he was executed by order of King Theodoric under suspicion of treason. The scholars of the middle ages and even later had to depend on the writings of Boethius for knowl- 1 edge of the Greek's practise of music. Moll’s Latest Book On Sale at Co-op “Campus Sonnets" is tfie title of the latest volume of poetry by Ernest G. Moll, associate professor of English, and versatile poet and author. Professor Moll’s work has been published by the Metropoli tan Press and is on sale in the book department of the Co-op. This is the fourth work of Pro fessor Moll to be published; other works include “Sedge Fire,” and “Native Moments,” two volumes of poetry, and a prose work on the appreciation of poetry. Consider able interest has been aroused up on the campus by the satirical note, new to Professor Moll’s work, introduced in the present volume of sonnets, according to Mrs. Elsie Belknap, in charge of the book department in the Uni versity store. The Day’s Parade (Continued From Page One) his complacent statement that he is "actually eager” to testify in his own behalf. The actual charge against Mr. Insull and his coterie of former associates is using the mails to defraud. It is alleged that he engineered a $143,000,000 swind ling project with United States citizens constituting the largest number on the “sucker list.” The Good of His Country Strange it is that eager Mr. In sull should be so misjudged by the American public, as he evidently thinks himself. According to law yers' statements, Insull had only the good of his native land at heart, made a mistake—costly to a great many people—and desires to have everything aired in court. What kept many observers guess ing this week, was whether capi talist Insull meant the United States or Greece by his references to his "native land.” Unfortunate ly Mr. Insull has come to his de cision of being "actually eager,” to testify, about a year too late, and only after there were no fur ther loopholes through which he could hope to evade the little un pleasantnesses attending extradi tion. LINFIELD ENROLLMENT 507 McMinnville, Ore., Oct. 16 (APt-—A new registration peak at Linfield college was reached this year when enrollment was reported at 507.
