MAKES PITIFUL PLEA FOR
RETURN OF KIDNAPED SON
CHICAGO.—A pitiful plea for the
return of his kidnaped son was dis
patched to the Chicago underworld
today by John Jake “The Barber”
Factor. Torn by anguish arid fear for
the safety of Jerome Factor, IS, the
man who reputedly made millions in
stock and land deals here and abroad,
announced that “I’ll pay any reason
able fee if they’ll only ask something
I can raise. I have no fifty thousand
dollars.”
The original note from the kidnap
ers demanded $50,000, and there were
subsequent reports that he received
a second note demanding even more
money. *
Factor denied receiving a second
note. “I have not seen Murray Hum
phreys, leader of the old Capone
gang,” Factor declared, “but if Mur
ray can do anything to help return
my boy I hope he'll do it. I’m doing
certain things, but so far we have
been unable to establish a go-be
tween.”
LATEST IDEA IN LIGHT DRILLS
R. E. Lowrie has just completed
the building of a light gasoliae-power
automatic drill, a rather novel and
compact affair. The drill is built to
operate at a depth of 30 feet. The
drill bed is 10 feet long, setting on
light bobsleds, and can be transferred
to wheels if necessary. It is very con
venient to move about.
The drill differs from old-style
drills. It is powered with a 4-h. p.
Cushman engine, belt drive. It is
very light, and is always ready to
start drilling when moved to a new
location, without the old method of
puttering around with different
equipment attached to old-Styl edrills.
Hans Erickson, well known mining
man, after a winter .on the Outside,
returned here a few days ago, depart
ing almost immediately for Gancs
creek.
