YOUNG MEN GAIN

MRS. WELLER

An alarming increase in the
number of homeless transient
men in the lower age brackets
is stressed by Major James Asher,
of the Salvation Army, in his
report on care of transient men
for January. Out of $500 given
aid during the month, the report
shows, 1,474 we're under 81 and
of this number $50 were under
81. Asher said:
"TheSe men, for the most
part, are worth while. In most
instances their presence in the
ranks of the homeless is due
to unemployment. They are
honestly seeking work. All
this presents a problem that
is badly in need of a better
solution than the mere giving
of temporary food and shelter"

2,509 homeless men during Janu-
ary, giving out 12,726 meals,

TWO men STILL HELD
IN KIDNAPPING PLOT
Florida Authorities Ponder Charges
to Be Made Against

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla, May IA
Two men arrested because OF a plot to
kidnap Edith Marie Gardner, 6-year-
old daughter of DR.. David M. Gardner,
pastor Of the First Baptist Church OF
St. Petersburg. remained in Jail today
as authorities debated what charges to
prefer
Palice said Edgar "Shine" Mote, Is
year-old news vendor, who confessed he
was invited to participate in the kid
naping, might be released. They pointed
out investigations have given rise to
doubt that his knowledge Of the plot
would place him in the category Of an
actual conspirator.
He claims Jerry Metz, formerly Of
Bluefield, W. Va, broached the plot to
him, outlining plan whereby the
child was to have been abducted yes
terday on her way to school and held
for $4,000 ransom, to be demanded OF
delegates to the Southern Baptist con-
vention in session here.
Police quoted him as saying he never
considered participating in the con-
spiracy and fatty refused when Metz
and an unidentified man approached
him Thursday night and told him the
child would be kidnapped the following
day.
The authorities say they have evil
dence Metz first tried to enlist the aid
of associates in West Virginia, but
failed, and then turned to acquaint-
ances in st. Petersburg.
He denies any knowledge of the con-
spiracy and claims he is the victim OF

A man whose identity has been with
held told police several days ago he had
been asked to serve as a "go-between. y
That information started the investiga-
ton that resulted in the arrest of Metz

MRS. L|NDbERGH
AGAIN COMPOSED
Mother of Slain Baby Shows
Remarkable Recuperative
Powers After Wavering.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
HOPEWELL, N j., May 14-Display-
ing unusual recuperative ability, the
frail mother of the kidnapped and slain
Lindbergh baby again took an active
interest late today in the conduct of her
desolate household atop the Sourland
Mountains.
Last night her strength wavered for
the first time during the long strain
and physician was consulted. At her
insistence she had been told the details
Of the finding of her first born.
She retired early, but this afternoon
she again exhibited the CALI and COM
posure that has been a remarkable
characteristic of the tragedy.
Backbone Gets Sitter"
They're the kind of people that the
harder things get, the sitter their back
bone become" was the way friend and
visitor explained her condition.
Late in August she expects another
child.
Reports persisted she and her aviator
husband will go abroad to remain until
after the child Is born.
One report was that they would leave
on June on the lie de France, but at
the steamship office it was said they
Another report was that they intended
to 90 to friends chateau in France.
If they do leave the Sourland coun-
tryside, it Is generally believed they will
never return to that hilltop house into
which stark tragedy stalked the night
of March /.
The house had just been completed
when the kidnapping occurred. It was
not yet completely furnished. Until
March the Lindberghs had spent only
week ends there, living at the home OF
Mrs. Dwight Morrow, Mrs. Lindbergh's
mother, in Englewood. 1t was at his
grandmother home that the flyers
! namesake was born.
Colonel Shows Fortitude.
There is also a possibility, it was
said, that they may go to the Morrow
estate in Maine for the rest and Sc
clusion they desire and need so badly.
The wiry, lanky colonel has borne
the strain of anguish, impatient wait
ing and uncertainty with remarkable
fortitude His direction of a personal
campaign to get in communication with
the kidnapers gave him an outlet for
pent-up energy.
He made numerous dashes about the
countryside in his automobile. He took
several plane trips. Then he went on
with John Hughes Curtis, Virginia in
termediary, on boat trip, hoping to
come back with his long-lost son.
The perseverance and fortitude he
has displayed have been reminiscent Of
his display Of those qualities on his
epochal oceanic flight.
But now both he and his grief
stricken wife seek peace, quiet and Sc
clusion. Where they will seek them is
their immediate problem.

NORFOLK Va. May 14.-The theory
that the Lindbergh baby kidnapers pos
sibly may have been maneuvering to
kidnap Col Iindbergh himself was ad-
vanced tonight by Capt. F. H. Lackman,
pilot Of the yacht vainly used by John
Hughes Curtis for two weeks in an eff
fort to contact with them.
Capt. Lackman said he arrived at
this theory in trying to account for the
strange maneuvering of the supposed
kidnapers and their come and
hold-off" movements during the lengthy
negotiations
He skippered his vessel, the yacht
Maroon, out to sea eight times with
Col. Lindbergh and Curtis aboard, but
none Of the trips resulted in a contact,
he said.
+ Police Are Secretive.
Commenting on his theory, Capt
Lackman said he had nothing tangible
to base it on, but 1t had occurred to him

havior of the kidnapers.

Norfolk angle Of the kidnapping murder
case OF the Lindbergh baby.
Charles B. Borland. director of public
safety, and Police Chief S. w. Iron
monger held lengthy conferences dur
ing the day, but declined to reveal
any details. They have been working
actively on the case since New Jersey
State authorities requested that the
investigation be taken up here.
Col. Borland described their work as
gathering together "a number of loose
ends" that may yield information help
ful to the New Jersey investigators.
None Under Suspicion
No person here Is under suspicion,
he said.
Lackman said that he had never
heard either Lindbergh or Curtis speak
OF possibility of further kidnapping at
tempts on the gangs part, and that
the theory had occurred to him only
after negotiations had ended. While
declining to say whether the Maroon
was armed, Lackman admitted the
party did have means of elf-protection.
Apparently Curtis is being depended
upon as the source of information of
the three Norfolk intermediates. since
police here said they do not plan to
question either Admiral Guy H. Bur-
rage or Dean Dobson-Peacock.
