RELIEF PAUPER Many Difficulties Stand in Way. THE RELIEF TANGLE. In view of the relief crisis, which brought about the appointment of a commission of civic leaders to seek a solution to Its problems, The Tribune sent an investigator to trace relief facts to their roots. This and succeeding articles, based on his month's study, tell for the first time what the outlook is for various phases of relief, what relief gives its recipients, and what types of people are on relief. BY WILLIAM O'NEIL.

There are now approximately paupers on the rolls of the Chi cago Keiiei administration. The exact number at the end of August was 217,660, and the rolls are increasing every day. Under the Illinois emergency relief commission, which ad Leo Lyons. ministered relief in Chicago for the four years prior to last summer, those on the public relief rolls were receiving unemployment relief which was not considered pauper relief, according to Leo M. Lyons, commissioner of the CRA Chicago Relief administration.

"Today the CRA operates under a pauper law and every person on the CRA rolls is technically a pauper," Lyons declared. Seek to Reverse Function. The present purpose of the CRA is to give aid to the poor. Mr. Lyons said that he is trying, with the aid of a special emergency committee of fifty public and private leaders, to revere this function into one of getting the employable paupers off of the public relief rolls and onto private industrial pay rolls.

The 217,660 persons on the CRA rolls were grouped into 84,101 cases at the end of August. A case is any unit receiving relief as a unit single person, family group, or nonfamily group. 50 Found Unemployable. The CRA conducted a survey last spring in which it found that more than 50 per cent of the cases on its rolls contained no employable person, because the members of the cases physically unfit to work, too old to work, or for some similar reason. Mr.

Lyons said that he does not agree with the results of this survey, but, for want of better information, it has been assumed that 42,000 of the CRA cases have at least one employable person. How many of these cases remain a drain on the public purse because no member of the case unit wants to work? Social service workers of the CRA say the number is small. They refuse to set any figure on the number. You can't, they declare, call a man a bum until he refuses a job in private industry that would provide him with economic security, and very few such jobs are being offered to relief Many May Not Seek Work. Under present conditions, however, it is possible that any number up to 32,000 of the employable cases are not even registered with the Illinois State Employment service as seeking work.

And, because many of the 32,000 cases contain more than one employable person, it is possible that there are even more persons than this who aren't seeking work who would thus take themselves and their families off the relief rolls. Under the rules of the CRA, every employable person who applies for relief and that includes all of the employables in each case must ister with the ISES Illinois State Employment service before relief is granted. But, although the CRA forces the employables to register as seeking work, there is nothing in all but 10,000 of the cases to make sure that the reliefers remain on the active lists of the ISES. Free Employment Service. The ISES is a free employment service, open to all unemployed persons in the state.

Private employment agencies make expenses and profits by charging a iee for any job obtained for an applicant. The ISES Continued on page 2, column 3. OB: I I EAR ER OUTG iOUS I'JIf VIGIL FG Witness Tells Ross Abduction. (Pictures on back page.) Investigators were fearful last night that Charles S. Ross, 72 years oldt wealthy retired greeting card manufacturer, might have met death since he was kidnaped Saturday evening in Wolf road southwest of Franklin Park.

Among the reasons for the fear were: 1 Ross had a heart ailment and high blood pressure, indicating the ssibility that a sudden shock might prove fatal, and 2 no demand for ransom had been made up to midnight by his captors. Faced with this situation and urged on by Mrs. Ross, who kept constant vigil in her apartment at 2912 Commonwealth avenue, the investigators, led by Capt. Daniel Gilbert of the state's attorney's police, threw all their resources into the search for the abductors. Blamed on Young Hoodlums.

Lacking any tangible clew to the identity of the men who seized him, the police could only theorize that the kidnaping was the work of young hoodlums. Capt. Gilbert said that kidnap gangs with strong underworld connections had all been wiped out long ago and that, moreover, the crime was committed in such manner that he was sure it was not plotted as anything more than a robbery. There were rumors last night that the state's attorney's detectives were seeking members of the gang headed by the three Shelton brothers of East St. Louis, who were notorious in pro hibition times.

Capt. Gilbert denied this, however. At East St. Louis it was said Carl and Bernie Shelton had abjured crime and were leading ex emplary lives, while Earl who was released from the Atlanta federal penitentiary 18 months agon had never returned to His old haunts. All the information about the crime came from Miss Florence Frei- hage, 44 years old, 1335 Nelson street, who was with the white haired Ross when he was seized.

Miss Freihage is secretary of the George S. Carring-ton company, printers of valentines and greeting cards, of which Ross was president until two years ago. Drives to Sycamore. Ross, said Miss Freihage, invited her to meet him late Saturday afternoon near the offices of the concern at 2732 Fullerton avenue, that he might Tiear how matters were pro gressing. He had sold his interest to Artemus D.

Watson present head of the Carrington company, but had not received all the purchase price. "We left Chicago about 5 p. Miss Freihage continued, "and drove to Sycamore, where we had dinner in the Fargo hotel. We started back about 8 o'clock. I remember that a car pulled out of the parking space as we left, but I am not sure it followed us for any great distance.

Threatened by Youth. "We drove in along North avenue At Wolf road Mr. Ross turned north. We had gone hardly half a mile and were opposite the entrance to the Westward Ho Golf club when he remarked that the car behind him was shining its light onto his mirror. It's been following us for some he said, 'and I think I'll draw over to the side and let' it "When he slowed down the other car drew up beside us, cut in a little ahead of us, and stopped.

One man. jumped out. He was young and seemed the light wasn't good to have light, curly hair. He thrust a pistol at Mr. Ross and yelled that he'd shoot unless the door was opened.

Offers Her Purse. "Mr. Ross obeyed and at his command got out of the car. I think there were two other men in the car that stopped us, but I only saw the one at the wheel. The one with the pistol said 'This is a kidnaping; my boss told me to bring you "I offered my purse to the man, begging him not to harm Mr.

Ross. He told me to be quiet, and took Mr. Ross over to the other car. Then he returned and took $85 out of my; purse. He says you're his is he good for a half million or a quarter I assured him Mr.

Ross had no such wealth. The man paid no attention to that. You get down on the floor of the car, he said. 'If you get up Til shoot The gunman, however, did not take RANSOM NOTE 'U Highways BY HAL FOUST. (Map on back page.) A plan to build five elevated high ways radiating from Chicago's central business district was offered yesterday by the Chicago Motor club.

The traficways would save many of the lives now sacrificed to the auto mobile massacre, the club pointed out, and would result annually in a time saving worth millions of dollars to motorists. The projected plan calls for 38.1 miles of highways, estimated to cost an average of $1,000,000 a mile, in cluding the cost for property damages and for right of way acquisitions. Taxes Would Finance Work. The proposal," said Charles M. Hayes, president of the club, "is for consideration of federal, state, county, and city officials, who must adopt some such plan in the near future to abate an annual accident toll of about 800 dead and 20,000 injured in Chicago.

The public no longer can tolerate such a loss of life and limb due to the inadequacy of surface pavements for express motor trans portation. The construction, which would re quire from three to five years, could be financed from the revenue of existing taxes upon motorists. Taxes 32 Million Yearly. Chicago automobile tranc pays approximately $32,500,000 taxes a year, consisting of $7,500,000 for state plates, $15,000,000 on the state's 3 cent gasoline excise, $5,000,000 for city windshield stickers, and for the federal 1 cent gas tax. "From these figures it is apparent that $10,000,000 a year could be spent for elevated highway construction without any serious impairment of surface street repairs and replace There also would be suffi cient money for a major improvement to Chicago's gateway to the southeast omitted from the club's present recommendations because other agencies are working on this problem." Five Routes Planned.

The motor club's plan calls for one elevated highway to the southwest two to the west one to the north west and one to the north from the central business district Around the central business district would be an elevated highway belt line. Further development of the outer drives is considered adequate provi sion for lake front trafic both north and south. The map on the back page of this issue of The Tribune shows specific routes. The general layout is similar to plans advanced by several competent agencies during the last ten years. The routes follow the directions of heaviest intercity travel and they connect with present and projected main highways to other cities.

"If the saving of lives is not rea son enough by itself for building the elevated highways," said Mr. Hayes, the expenditure of $1,000,000 a mile can be justified on a purely economic basis. The cost of delays on surface streets is ereater than the cost of construction to eliminate the delays." Even with no increase in automo- Continued on page 2, column 2.

The warning was issued despite Japan's report of a Chinese plot to draw Russia into the Chinese-Japanese conflict by raiding the embassy in planes repainted to resemble Japanese aircraft. Russian authorities said they considered the report a "pure provocation showing the intention of some Japanese military leaders to bombard the soviet embassy intentionally and then try to escape responsibility." BULLETIN. Copyright: 1937: By the New York Times. HONGKONG, Sept. 27 (Monday).

Canton again is experiencing a severe air raid. This morning at least six bombers appeared and heavily bombed various objectives. Fires have broken out in a number of places. (Picture on back page.) SHANGHAI, Sept. 26.

CP) Japanese rushed men and munitions into their Shanghai lines tonight to meet a Chinese counterattack and start a Japanese offensive designed to crush all Chinese resistance in this area. Rear Admiral Tadao Honda, Japanese naval attach, warned that Japanese bombardment of Chinese non-combatants will be duly carried out regardless of loss of life, if it becomes necessary "by virtue of their residence near military objectives." Japanese army officers announced flatly that they plan a major drive along the whole Shanghai front, and added that when the push gets under way it will be like a flood breaking down the dikes." New Commander Named. Gen. Chu Shao-liang, first in rank among military subordinates of Gen. Chiang Kai-shek, dictator of China, took over command of Shanghai armies, relieving Gen.

Chang Chih-chung. No reason was given for the change. In counterattacks the Chinese claimed they broke through the invaders' lines along the front northwest of Shanghai, recaptured two villages and continued to advance. Japanese answered the attack with a heavy artillery and aerial bombardment of Chapei, native quarter north of the international settlement Meanwhile, stormy weather save Nanking, China's capital, a respite from Japanese air bombardment The Chinese Red Cross planned a representation to the international Red Cross protesting yesterday's bombard ment which endangered the Central hospital, a huge government institution. Business men estimated the dam age from five bombings at $1,500,000.

Exact Death Count Difficult. The death toll of the air raids was estimated at between 200 and 500, but an exact count was difficult because huge mountains of ddbris still had not been cleared away. Workers constructed new bombproof dugouts and strengthened old ones that offi cials credited with saving thousands of Chinese lives. Chinese authorities disclosed that 37,000 wounded Chinese have been brought to Nanking hospitals from the Shanghai front, creating a grave problem in the bomb-scarred capital. The terrific toll of the conflict has strained the hospitals beyond the breaking point" medical officials said.

The government accused the Japa nese air corps of "treacherously and unlawfully disguising their planes with Chinese insignia." The charge followed a Japanese air raid on Kwangteh, seventy miles northwest of Hangchow, seaport a hundred miles below Shanghai. The attacking air craft were reported to have been dis guised as Chinese planes. Four railway stations southwest of Hangchow underwent a severe bombardment Japanese officials announced. They said that tracks and railway equipment used to transport Cpn.tin.usd pa page 4, column 5J. Robbers Shoot atchman in Tavern Battle A uniformed private watchman was shot five times and seriously wounded early today in a desperate gun battle at close range with three burglars in the Mart tavern at 333 North Wells street He is William Youtz, 35 years old, 760 Milwaukee avenue.

Youtz was making his midnight rounds when he noticed that the front door of the tavern was open. He stepped inside, but progressed only a few feet when one of the thieves called out, "Jiggers, a cop! Returns Robbers' Fire. With that two, or perhaps all three, of the men fired at the watchman. He drew hir revolver and returned the fire, aiming in the direction of the flashes from the burglars' guns. Even as Youtz fired, the gunmen's bullets struck him.

Five took effect before he collapsed. Meantime, Youtz had sent four bullets at the burglars. Blood stains indicated one had been wounded. The three escaped, however, forcing their way through a rear door. Reaches Nearby Tavern.

Watchman Youtz staggered to the nearest haven, Allegretti's tavern, at 357 North Wells street The manager there called Chicago avenue police, who took Youtz to Henrotin hospital. He told his story there to Policeman Barney Lutz. Police said that the burglars obviously mistook Youtz for a policeman because of his watchman's uniform. Youtz was wounded in the side, hip, and body, the most critical wound being just below the heart SHERIF FORGETS GUESTS IN JAIL, BUT THEY DON'T Chadron, Sept. 26.

When it became known that Miss Maguire needed blood Police Chief Soderlin of River Forest called the Miley home at 523 Clarence avenue, and announced that every man on his force had volunteered to be a donor. Oak Park police also volunteered to Chief Benjamin Barsema, and mem bers of the forces of both suburbs went to the hospital to be examined. Saddest of the young woman's fam ily was her mother, Mrs. Sadie Miley, who for the five years has been almost constantly at her bedside. She was told by Dr.
