SECRET STOCK QUIZ
PLAN WORKED OUT
Senate Committee Decides
on Undercover Study of
Exchange.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
A secret plan for investigation of the
New York Stock Exchange was worked
out today by the Steering Committee
Of the Senate Banking Committee.
At the end of session behind closed
doors, the newly-formed committee was
believed to have agreed to send secret
agents to New York to study Stock
Exchange and brokerage records.
Chairman Norbeck said the group
was working in secret on a program
tAAt will best develop the abuses Of the
system that all know to exist, but are
hard to prove"
The comnittee will meet again to-
morrow.
Townsend on Committee.
Before today's meeting, the, Steering
Committee was completed, and Senator
Walcott. Republican, Connecticut, who
originally sponsored the stock market
inquiry, was not included in its men,
bership Instead, Chairman Norbeck OF
the Banking Committee, named Senator
Townsend, Republican, Delaware, to the
group. s..
Other members in addition to, Nor
beck are Senators Couzens, Republican
Michigan; Glass, Democrat, Virginia,
and Fletcher, Democrat, Florida.
Formation Of the ,commmittee takes
the leadership away from the admins
tration group which originally spon-
sored the investigation into charges OF
bear raiding. >--
The question of sending agents into
Wall Street already has been generally
approved by the whole Banking Com
mittee. Chairman Norbeck, however
had an eye on more immediate affairs
with the intention Of resuming hearings
within few days.
Choice Of Two Leads.
For this the committee had the
choice Of two leads: To go deeper into
the pools In which Percy Rockefeller
and such big traders participated, OF
to follow the trail blazed by Represent-
ative La Guardia's charges of extensive
subsidizing of New York financial writ
ers to 'ballyhoo" stocks.
Should the first be followed, there
was much speculation as to whether
ocratic National Committee, might be
prominent men named by witnesses as
taking part in big pools.
The second lead brought before the
committee the question of calling A.
Newton Plummer, New York publicity
agent, who, La Guardia said, paid out
more than a quarter of a million to
writers. Plunnmer now is under indict-
ment with a group of seven others
charged with forging stock certificates

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. April 81
Government control and sale Of liquors
under the Anderson plan is recon-
mended by Frank j. Loesch, Chicago
attorney and member of President
Hoover's Commission on Law Observ-
ance and enforcement, as "a way out"
of prohibitions failure"
Under the existing conditions, he
told the Institute of Justice at the
University of Chattanooga last night,
drinking is increasing and organized
crime that is. able. to- finance itself
as a result Of the prohibition laws is
growing worse.
Loesch opposed repeal measures and
said the field Is clear for establishment
of sound system Of government con-
troll of the liquor situation and should
be kept clear. The Anderson plan, he
explained, is similar to the Brett sys-
tenn of Sweden.
Under it a bipartisan national COM
mission would be empowered to fix the
alcoholic content of all liquors sold
in the United States. set prices and
fully regulate every aspect of the mat
ter within the legitimate scope of the
Federal Government"
The adoption of the plan, he said,
would tend to end bootlegging and
bring about temperance through Gov

Woman Held in Lindbergh Case In
volved in Another Plan to Get Estate.

PHILADELPHIA, April 81 (P).-Fan-
tastic details of baby substitution al
legedly perpetrated by a wealthy and
childleSS married woman to collect an
inheritence and two unwedded mothers
came to light yesterday in an equity
action filed in Dauphin County Court.
Euston A. Sullivan of suburban
Merton filed a petition to strike from
the vital statistics of the State the
record of the birth to his wife Of Grace
May Sullivan on october IL, 1881, at
st. Vincent's Hospital. Philadelphia. His
petition denied that he was the father
Of the 6-month-old girl or that his wife,
Helen Blair Sullivan, was the mother.
He declared the baby is the child OF
Miss Edith Crebbe, Detroit nurse, who
was arrested at Downington, Pa, last
week, in connection with the Lindbergh
kidnapping and subsequently absolved in
that case.
Marriage Certificate Shown.
Sullivan declared his wife, represent
ing herself as Mrs. Gerald Z. Hardy,
visited Miss Crebbe in the maternity
ward of the hospital and conspired with
her to represent the baby as that OF
Mrs. Sullivan's.
This was accomplished. it is alleged,
by informing hospital authorities that
Miss Crebbe in reality was the wife OF
Euston Sullivan and displaying the real
Mrs. Sullivan's marriage certificate.
The baby was registered as Grace May
Sullivan
Later. Miss Crebbe refused to relin-
quish her baby to Mrs. Sullivan, the
petition declares, but another unmar-
ried mother at st. Vincent's, described
as Mary Smith, turned over her baby,
and this child was christened Grace
May Sullivan at St. Margaret's Church
November 8, 1881.
Wife Now Missing.
Sullivan says he has no knowledge
of the present whereabouts Of his wife
or the second baby. Miss Crebbe's
child is said to be in Detroit.
Just how Mrs. Sullivan's alleged fraud
would have won her legacy was not
made clear. Her father was the late
william L. Blair, a former partner or
Milton Hershey, the candy manufac-
turer. Blair left his fortune in trust
fund for his widow, to be divided at
her death. One-half was to revert to
son, William A. Blair, and the other
half kept in trust fund, the income
of which was to go to Mrs. Sullivan.
At her death this principal was to go
to the son or his heirs.

Thousands of Indiana school

Facing Deadly Antithesis
Technology, as a force in freeing
men from the shackles of toll, now
stands on the brink of its power"
said DR.. Beard. 1T is not yet eman-
cipating man, but it is offering
emancipation. Civilization faces the
deadly antithesis of the possibility
of plenty on one hand and the &C
tuality of hunger, poverty and want
on the other"
High point of the convention was
reached with election of Robert
Hougham, Franklin, johnson county
superintendent, as the 1888 presi-
dent, at the Friday morning bust
ness session, and address by DR.. Ray
Lyman Wilbur, secretary of the in
terror, Friday afternoon.
Warning that in this time of
stress, parents should feel called
upon to make as great sacrifices for
future of their children as did
pioneer fathers and mothers, was
sounded by DR.. Wilbur.
Senator Is Speaker
Changes on the map brought
about during the last half century
were outlined by Senator Arthur r.
Robinson, who preceded DR.. Wilbur
at the tabernacle.
A second general session was held
Friday afternoon at the Murat thea
