Morrow, ambassador to Mexico ana lamer oi Anne Mor row, fiancee ot Colonel Charles A. Lindbergh, has been made subject of a $50,000 extortion plot The mo ney, the Post asserts, was demanded under penalty ot torture and death ot his youngest daughter, 15 year old Constance Morrow, a student at Milton academy. The newspaper says it has learned that the receipt by the girl of two threatening letters was directly re sponsible for last Saturday's secret flight by Lindbergh and members of the Morrow family from the Morrow home at Englewood, N. J. to their summer place at North Haven, Me. It was also responsible for the de- tectlve guard which has since stood vigil over the island retreat ot the Morrows in Maine and for tne im personation of Constance by anoth- er girl at the Milton academy while Constance was being spirited away to Join the airplane flight. The Post declares it has learned that when Miss Morrow received the first letter she showed It to school authorities. Her family was notified and a guard assigned to her. When the second demand was made it gave detailed instructions how and where the money was to be placed and named last Saturday afternoon as uie tune. At this Juncture Mr. Morrow's former partners in the firm ot J. P. Morgan and company were appealed to and the services o: leaerai oper atives were enlisted, but although Miss Morrow's impersonator ad hered strictly to the instructions no one appeared to claim tne package, HOSS' DECISION TO BRING SUIT The possibility of a suit against the state board oi control oy some state-aided institution caring for orphans and foundlings loomed Tuesday because ot a decision by Secretary of State Hoss to follow the letter oi one o: tne liKzs legis lative appropriation bills. The original act providing lor a per capita state appropriation of $16 a month for the care of In mates of state-aided institutions provides that the allowance shall hold for each inmate up to 17 years old. The appropriation bill of the 1929 legislature reduces the age to under 16. The change made In the bill was admittedly done in advertently. Attorney General van winkle takes this view of It In an opinion asked for by Carl Abrams, secretary -of the state board of con: trol; and he advises that the mon ey be allowed on the old basis Secretary Hoss agrees that the change made In the bill was a cler ical error and thinks the lnstitutl tions are entitled to the usual al lowance, but refuses to audit the claims on that basis notwithstand ing the attorney general's opinion. The ground for his action is that the money has not been provided by the legislature.
