ANOTHER CHICAGO RANSOM DEMAND CHICAGO, June 19.—AM available Chicago police were at work today attempting to trace a $10,000 ransom letter, which threatened the kidnapping of Irvin H. Hartman, Jr., 10, son of a millionaire Chicago furniture dealer. The letter, believed inspired by the Kidnaping and slaying of Robert Franks, 13, was received a few minutes before a telephone call to the Hartman home advised the father that further information as to where to leave the money would be given him later. A man who refused to reveal his identity did the talking. Police working on the case were inclined to believe the letter the work of a fanatic, inspired by the tremendous publicity given the Franks case. However, a special police guard was thrown about the Hartman home. At headquarters the text of the note was kept a secret and detectives dismissed inquiries with "details will be given later." SEEK NEW INDICEMENTS CHICAGO, June 19.—New indictments charging Nathan Leopold, Jr., and Richard Loeb, conferred slayers of 13 year old Robert Franks, with conspiracy to murder, and so constructed as to cover the entire crime from the time the boy was kidnapped until his nude body was taken from the muddy culvert on Chicago's south side, will be sought by the office of state's attorney Crowe, according to reports current here today. FINISH PLANS FOR L. A. HARBOR VISIT At last the final details for the trip to Los Angeles harbor have been approved. The excursion will be made June 26th. Tickets have been limited to 150, this being the capacity of the official boat which takes the party on the tour of inspection. Capt. Sandberg, chief of the traffic department of the Los Angeles harbor, has wired his approval of the arrangements and REDS FRAME PLATFORM FOR RADICAL PARTY (Continued From Page One) "We are here to solidify the farmers and laborers of the country into a third party," he said. "We must have unity, not a break or a split." "Some of you here are too conservative for us," Kennedy added, "but we are going to stick." Delegates stamped their feet and shouted when a moment later Kennedy added: "We expected these vicious attacks upon this convention by the plutocratic and capitalistic press. The prostituted press has always fought us, but it can't beat us." Kennedy swept his hands toward the newspaper men on the platform as he spoke. His remarks were the first for launching of additional attacks upon the "capitalistic press," by various other speakers that followed. Taylor charged that as he was leaving the hall, heading the Farmer-Labor body, communists rushed up to him and tried to prevent his departure. "A fist fight was only averted by the interference of guards," said Taylor. "Not a single farmer will be left in the hall when the convention closes tonight." Taylor predicted as he swung his coat over his shoulder and walked down the street away from the auditorium. "The Communists completely control the convention," he concluded. CONVENTION HALL, ST. PAUL, June 19.—The Farmer-Labor convention here, its machinery jammed by a fresh denunciation from Senator Robert M. LaFollette, Rep. of Wis., today was preparing to adjourn without naming a third party ticket, content, apparently, with having formed a national third party and adopted a platform stressing communistic doctrines for control of the government. This platform, considered one of the major triumphs of the reds who attended the convention, today loomed as the last critical issue between the radicals and the more conservative delegates. Differences which it had been BROOKINS, WILEY SEEK PROBATION When motion for new trial denied today by Superior Judge C. Drummm to G. E.

CANADIAN POSTAL WORKERS ON STRIKE VANCOUVER, B. C., June 19.—Postal workers in Vancouver and St. Louis have been invited to participate in a strike organized by the Canadian Postal Workers Union. The farm elements wanted nothing done that would in any way embarrass the candidacy of LaFollette which they are predicting he will announce after the progressive gathering in Cleveland July 4. When LaFollette again notified the convention that he would under no consideration stand for their endorsement, they pleaded with the Communists not to press for the naming of an independent ticket, but to let LaFollette have a free rein. The Communists were prepared to put forward Duncan McDolan, Illinois labor leader for their candidate, but it had been decided to await developments of the progressive convention. All this has been tentatively agreed upon and the communist platform appeared the only battling ground in prospect for today. Chief planks in this are: Nationalization of industry. Repeal of the federal reserve and national banking acts. Abolition of the right of courts to issue injunctions against strikes. The eight hour day and prohibition of child labor. Minimum wage law. Social insurance and old age pensions. National maternity law. Recognition of Soviet Russia. Elimination of landlordism. Public control of transportation and marketing institutions. Compensation for unemployed at trade union wages. Full political and economic equality for negroes. The klan and prohibition issues brought a stiff battle in the committee sessions, but no mention of their marriage contract in Louis in the summer of 1915. The decree will be made at lude in three months, unless Harris should Le successful in appeal in the meantime. Justice Wagner denied Harris motion for judgment and plein in her suit for $15 against her husband. In this tion she alleges that Harris default of 15 monthly payment $1,000 each, under an alleged aration agreement signed in August, 1919.

Following the reading of a paper prepared by Col. William Kelly, chief engineer of the federal power commission, condemning the Bouder Canyon project and recommending power development of the Colorado river by private capital, A. P. Davis, former director of reclamation service, and now consulting engineer for the Los Angeles public service department, expressed strong criticism of Kelly's plans. Other engineers also attacked the recommendation of the federal power commission engineers and a lively discussion ensued. Kelly's ideas for Colorado river development were contained in a paper read to the engineers by Major Howard S. Pennion, corps of engineers, U.S. Army, Kelly's chief assistant in the engineering work of the federal power commission. Kelly was unable to be present. Advocates of the public development of the Colorado and particularly the Bouder Canyon project, as embodied in the Swing-Johnson bill, pending in congress, led by Davis, made a vigorous attack on Kelly's recommendation. The principal objections to Kelly's plan were against power development on the Colorado by private corporations and failure to approve of the dam at Boulder Canyon. Kelly's report was in direct contravention of the stand long taken by the reclamation service that the Boulder Canyon site is the proper place for the major development of the Colorado. HEART HOME DROBLEMS ELIZABETH THOMPSON TOO YOUNG Dear Mrs. Thompson: I am a girl of 15 and am considered fair-looking. There is a boy with whom I have been going for a while. He is 19. He wants me to go with him "steady" and he will not go with any other girls. I told him I was too young for "steady" company, but he said I wasn't and he would soon be back for his answer. He said that if he went with a girl she didn't want every one else to go with her. But I consider myself entirely too young. I go with him to dances and for rides, but mostly in a "bunch." I want him to have other girl friends and I want boy friends. He has given me a ring, jaut for friendship. Should I keep it or give it back? He wanted it to be a remembrance of him. Is it all right for me to go shows and dances with other boys? There are always more boys and girls who go along. Should I go with more than never come back. I have received one letter from him since he has been away and he wrote that he cared something for me. I don't know the reason why he left me, for I never did anything to cause him to leave. I can't forget him and I still love him. What would be the best thing for me to do? BROWN EYES. There isn't much you can do except to make the best of things as they are and trust that in time your husband will return. Make every effort to be contented and happy, because your husband is far more apt to return. But if you grieve and lose interest in life he will not be tempted to make his home with you again. In case he does return it will be much better if you and he can go to housekeeping. BROWN EYES: The girl should tell the boy that she has enjoyed the evening. If she hasn't it would be better to thank him for taking her, which would be non-commit- Lord Forster. Designation of Lord Forster as minor-general of Australia is noted to the fact that his salary did not provide for the display hospitality and entertainments in the crown representatives expected to give. Money for purposes usually comes from private fortunes of the governmentals. PUZZLED ESTHER. You are very much too young to have "steady company." Tell the boy that you have no intention of going with "every one," but you do want to have more than one good friend. Unless he will go with you as a friend and nothing more, I would advise you to give him up. It is in bad taste to accept jewelry from a man unless you are engaged to him. You should not have taken the ring in the first place. Now that you have accepted it, however, misunderstanding would probably arise if you tried to give it back without some cause. Keep it as long as the boy remembers it was given "just for friendship," but if he demands more than friendship, give him back the ring and say that under the circumstances you feel you cannot keep it. I think you are too young to go to shows and dances with boys. Of course I know that a lot of 15-year-old girls go, but, neeyrtheless, I believe them to be too young. A girl is free from a man as long as she is not betrothed. But when she accepts a ring as a gift she puts herself under obligation to him. It is much better to be entirely free and not the recipient of jewellery. DESERTED BY HUSBAND Dear Mrs. Thompson: I am girl-of-23 and have been married three years. I married a man who seemed to care for me. We never had a cross word while we were going together. We did not go to housekeeping. He stayed with me three months and then he walked off and left me. He has one else to go with her. But I consider myself entirely too young. I go with him to dances and for rides, but mostly in a "bunch." I want him to have other girl friends and I want boy friends. He has given me a ring, jsut for friendship. Should I keep it or give it back? He wanted it to be a remembrance of him. Is it all right for me to go to shows and dances with other boys? There are always more boys and girls who go along. Should I go with more than one, or should I keep this friend as a "steady?" Is a ring binding, or is a girl free from a man as long as she is not engaged? BROWN EYES: The girl should tell the boy that she has enjoyed the evening. If she hasn't it would be better to thank him for taking her, which would be non-commital. A girl should never ask a boy if he likes her. THREE BOBBIES — More depends on what is in your heads than the style of your hair. The fact that you have bobs and say that you are considered good looking would mean nothing in attracting people. A girl must be interesting and full of charm to be popular. It is difficult for me to advise you because I do not know your failings. You may be too quiet, or you may talk too much. Perhaps your appearance is not neat or you lack taste in selecting clothes. My advice is to observe others. If you study the people who are popular and try to decide why they are well-liked, you may be able to cultivate personalities that will take better with the boys. STAMMERER Dear Mrs. Thompson: Could you give me advice regarding stammering? I am 16 years old and a junior in high school. I had never stammered until a few weeks ago when I was asked to give a speech and was almost unable to speak. This causes much embarrassment. A BLUE ROSE. Usually people think and speak at the same time; they talk without consciously forming what they are going to say. You will relieve your nervousness greatly if you think out your sentence before you say it. After a few weeks of careful speaking, you will get back to your former confidence in yourself and will no longer stammer. Tell your teacher about your difficulty and she will probably excuse you from speaking in front of the class. I think she ought to."
