WASHINGTON, D. C. Oct. 12.
Those In the know here think that
President Roosevelt's promise of a
reasonable In
crease in prices la
the most import
ant news that
has come out of
the White House
In months.
The casual way
In which It was
made heightened
the tremendous
Implications be
hind It.
No one needed
spyglass to sea
that It meant
the new dealers are resuming a tech
nique they dropped last spring. Until
then they had all been predicting
higher prices. It helped business. If
consumers believe prices are going up
they will buy. And when a president
promise higher prices the consumers
are very likely to take hla word for
It, especially when that president ha
all the powers Mr. Roosevelt now has
to make his prophecy come true.
The drouth and the price-boost in 5
result of the NRA were supposed to
have been the cause of Mr. Roosevelt
putting the price question in the Ice
box six months ago.
The fact that he Is bringing It out
. now is more than a hint that he Is
going to warm up the cold potatoes,
tnd what la more Important that
he will throw some more lard on the
skillet.
FULFILLMENT OF
Instructions Kidnaper Care
fully Followed, Is 'State
mentHint .More Than
One Involved in Case
What kind of lard It will be Is not
hard to guess. It could be further
gold devaluation or silver, devalua
tion. Both have to come some time.
The logical thing to do would be to
devalue the silver dollar to the same
extent that the gold dollar, has been
devalued. That would net the treas
ury a cool theoretical protlt of !,
000,000. aside from Its hypodermic
effect on business.
Then the president would be fp
to squeeze about 0 cents jnore out
of both the gold and silver dollars at
any later time when he may think
It advisable to create a fresh Infla
tionary psychology.
But those things are -really not Im
mediately important. The big thing
la that the White House haa revived
the talk about auch things. That
will do more to stimulate buying than
any subsequent monetary legerde
main. The mere fact that the president
lets it be known that he thinks prices
should be higher will make prices
higher. Indirectly it tella people to
buy now and avoid higher prices later
That Increases demand, and an In
creased demand will automatically
Increase prices, for. regardless or all
you hare heard from the theorist,
the good old law of supply and de
mand la still tn effect.
And don't thing the White House
did not know that when It let . the
price statement out.
LOUISVILLE, Ky., Oct. 13. (AP)
The ransom demanded for Mrs.
Alice Speed Stoll haa been paid and
the family awaits the kidnaper's ful
fillment of promises, was the an
nouncement here today by Berry V.
Stoll, husband of the young society
woman who was' slugged and forced
from their home late Wednesday.
The ransom note had named the
demand as 150.000 but the Stoll an
nouncement did not mention the
sum.
The formal statement said:
"we have carefully followed in
structions, met all ransom require
ments, and are awaiting fulfillment
of promises.
"The parties may act freely with
out fear or hindrance.
"Berry V. Stoll."
Fate Rests on Promise
The statement that all ransom re
quirements had been met waa taken
to mean definitely that the money
had been paid, and the fate of pretty
Alice Stoll hung for the time being
on whether the one who made the
ransom demand would keep hla pro
mise. Whether Stoirs announcement
meant the money actually had been
given the man who kidnaped Mrs.
Stoll or had been given to persons
designated by him, remained unex
plained, as there waa no comment
when the formal statement was given
to newspapermen, tn Stoll's behalf.
The reference 1n "trie Stoll an
nouncement to "parties" waa the first
intimation that more than one per
son had been Involved In the kidnap
ing of the former Bryn Mawr student
and Junior Jjeague member, daughter
of William S. Speed, retired capital
ist. Home Iwlnted
The Stoll family obtained a com
plete Isolation or Berry Stoll's 16
acre estate yesterdny atter a day of
futile waiting for a contact by the
kidnapers. Through list night they
waited for word, the place standing
almost deserted, with extra telephone
lines Installed.
Tills morning Berry Stoll. hatless
and apparently greatly excited, roar
ed out of the driveway In a roadster.
Another man waa with him.
The car swung down Lime Kiln
road, which borders the estate and
headed south into Kentucky. The
emissaries took the narrow, winding,
irregular trail at high speed, not
slowing up for turns or the frequent
hill.

IN NRA POLICY IS
Another hidden point in Mr. Roose
velt's strategy la that he selected the
most opportune time of the year for
the price warmover. Thla Is buying
season, not only foT individuals, but
for business houses.
But one thing should not be for
gotten. It Is that Mr. Roosevelt wents
a reasonable advance within reason
able ground. If profiteers take ad
vantage of the situation for gentle
extortions, they will merely bs killing
their own game, because the president
will undoubtedly then be compelled
to put the price policy back In the
cooler.
One of the foremost new dealers re
cently gave out advance copies or an
Important apeech and then sent out
word to eliminate a paragraph of It,
This paragraph ridiculed the idea that
the government could or would curtail
expenses.
Insiders say the elimination was not
suggested by Mr. Roosevelt person
ally. Apparently, the president did
not read the speech, but someone able
to speak for him did. and advised the
change. That Is another Indication
thst things are going to be different
after election.
The new dealers who rale the se
curities exchanges chuckled with g'.ee
when a Boston public utility recently
applied for a government O. K. on its
financing. It wss a case Just exactly
like that of the Brooklyn-Manhattan
Transit tn New York, but the Boston
lana chose to submit rather than
fight. The case Involved 820.OOO.0OO
of Edison E'.ectrlc securities, all of
which are owned by Bostontana. The
company pointed out that It cot
12.000 to prepare the application.
The financing unque.st'onably will :e
approved w.th:n 20 days The amus
ing point shout it is thst the Boa
tnnlani decided to pay the new deal

spend many times 112.000 righting

Bulkley told newspaper men as he

Dr. J. B. Welghart of New York,
who had been In dally attendance the
last four months, aald Dr. Browning
died of heart failure complicated by
uremia after a severe cerebral hem

Toward the end he was piraJyued
much of the time and often did not

band, New York doctor.
Browning was reported to have
written of himself: "He is favor
ite In the aoclal world."
Other btographera were less deli
cate about his career. They said he
was a publicity aeeker.
Such a view of him was llkewite
held by the carmel, N. Y aupreme
court Justice who presided In the
sensational aeparatlon trial which
made the worda "Daddy" and
"Peaches" appear like labels on news
.lands the country over. The Jus
tice thought Browning "enjoyed the
foolHh publicity."
The public thought of him as a
