F. B. I. Clears
11 Month Old
* Kidnap Case
NEW YORK. Nov. 2 UP)—The
mystery of Arthur Fried, young
business man who vanished 11
months ago, was cleared with the
disclosure by J. Edgar Hoover, of
the F. B. I., that Fried had been
kidnapped and held prisoner for
four days then shot to death and
- cremated. Hoover, in a dramatic
statement laid the death of Fried,
thirty two year old head of the
Bronx Sand Stone Co., at the
hands of a four-man kidnap syn
dicate, which tried for weeks af
terward to collect two hundred
thousand dollars ransom,
Hoover said that certain ones
an that quarter also confessed
they collected fourteen thousand
mine hundred dollars in two
hitherto ' uhrevealed Brooklyn
kidnap cases, and three holdups.
The men shot Fried to death
in a lower east side apartment,
then burned his body in the fur
nace. The suspects are Demet
rius Gula, thirty, pinball game
operator; William Janknis, twen
ty seven, WPA playground in
structor; John Virga, thirty four,
clothes presser; and Joseph S.
Sacoda, twenty seven, now in
Sing Sing Penitentiary for parole
violation.
The victims of the two other
abductions were Benjamin Far
ber, a coal dealer, and Norman
Miller, son of the head of a
stevedore concern.
Proof of Labor Blanks can now
be had at the ”ana Nugget office.
Solly Kreiger
Takes Middle
Title in 15 Rds.
■SEATTLE, Nov. 1 </P)— Solly
Kreiger, ring-wise Brooklyn
bomber, won the World’s Middle
weight boxing championship, tak
ing a fifteen round decision from
A1 Hostak of Seattle.
Kreiger weighed 160 and Hos
tak 159?i. Victory came as a
complete surpise as Hostak was
unanimously favored in the bet
ting being based on the fact that
Kreiger was a rough and tough
infighter at best, against a hard
puncher. He took the offensive
almost from t'he start and from
the sixth round it was apparent
that Hostak was in for a busy
evening. Hostak’s eyes were
closed and both fists, badly bat
tered.^ He fought the last six
rounds virtually without the use
of his left hand. In the eleventh,
he appeared to hurt his right
hand on the rugged Brooklyn
boy’s granite chin. Hostak was
floored for the first time in his
career in the fourteenth round,
but took no count.

Chinese Concede
Loss Of Teian
SHANGHAI. Nov. 1 (VP)—The
Chinese admitted they lost Teian,
a hundred twenty five miles to
the southeast of Hankow after
more than three months of bitter
fighting in which both sides lost
heavily. The Chinese compared
their losses to those incurred in
the long battle for Taierchwang,
last winter when hundreds died
and the town wrecked.
In that campaign, where the
Chinese won a smashing victory,
only later to be driven back. The
Chinese are said to have estab
lished a new line of defense
south of Teian to protect the
Nanchung Chinese air base.
TO THE LADIES OF NOME
Thursday evening at 7:30 p.m.
the classes for Home Hygiene
and Care of the Sick will be held
at the City Hall.
It is hoped that the ladies of
Nome will take advantage of this
coi'-se, which is valuable for its
practical instruction. Individual
health and community health can
not be disassociated- Our respon
sibility begin* with "ourselves”
but it does not end there. When
you consider that your city and
territory pays a public health
nurse, and that one of her duties
is to dessiminaie valuable inform
ation in regard to public health,
can you afford to miss such an;
opportunity for instruction?
So ladies, don't neglect to at-;
tend the classes in Home Hy
giene and Care of the Sick!
