Sept. 20. —( AP)--A kid naping band, which restored 9-year old John Rusaell to his wealthy fa ther when the police trail became too hot. was sought throughout New York and many parts of the east today. Stolen and held for $25,000 ransom, the boy was returned mysteriously late last night to the Brooklyn home of his father. Arthur S. Russell, stock exchange broker. Police said no ran som was paid and that they believed the kidnapers became frightened by an intense search by the police. Young Russell was so tired when he got home that police refrained from questioning him extensively un til today. On his way home from school yesterday, he said, two men stopped him, took him for an auto mobile ride, and then to a small flat, where they gave him sandwiches, milk and a picture book. In the even ing he said a woman and another man came in. anG the woman took him by an automobile to a street car, gave the conductor a nickel, and ask ed him to let the boy off near his home.

BY J C IIA'SKRItVILL Raleigh. Sept. 20.—Althogh the Fair Utilities l ate Association may be deeply and sincerely interested in secring lower utility rates for the people of North Carolina, the meth ods it has been employing ao far are not conducive to the building up of public confidence in the sincerity of its efforts, according to the preval in opinion here. Fqf. while the great er portion of the people of the StaEte are undoubtedly anxious to get lower rates and hence are In sympathy With the announced objectives of the asso ciation, many of these are already objecting to the tactics being exhibit ed by the officers of the association. They fail to understand what appears to be the deliberate effort of this or ganization to put obstacles in the path of the State Corporation Com mission in attempting to secure a gen eral reduction in utilities rates now. The recent statement issued by C. A. Mees. of Charlotte, president of the Fair Utilities Rate Association, criticizing the Corporation Commis sion for its employment of Dr. Char les E. Waddell, of Asheville, well known consulting engineer, has not •helped the cause of the association, according to the reaction here. Mees said that Waddell had formerly been employed by various power companies and gave the impression that he is still retained by one or more of them. According to a statement issued yes terday by the Corporation Commis sion. Dr. Waddell has not been em ployed by or received a retaining fee from any power companies within the last eight or ten years except as an expert witness in law suits or con demnation proceedings. His record shows that he has appeared just as often against the power companies as for them, it was also pointed out. It is maintained by the commission that Mr. Mees either knows this or could have learned it. since he is also a consulting engineer, as is Dr. Wad dell, and could easily have been fa miliar wi'h his complete record. It is nc •e*'--* h-'re that the Cor poration Commission feels that in stead of trylnf? to assist it in bringing about lower utility rates now and within as short a time as possible, the utility rate association seems to be trying to block these efforts merely (because it is not following the for mula advocated by the association. The association first wants a general independent appraisal made of all utility properties, with this appraisal to be used as the basis for a new schedule of rates. It is agreed, how (Continued on rage Two.) extorttotTscheme DENIED BY MOORE Wilmington Mayor Says On Stand He Had Nothing To Do With It Wilmington, Sept. 20.—( AP)—Par ker Q.
