PENALT TY
BILL OKAYED

|le Cochran bill providing the
death penalty or life imprison-
ment for convicted kidnapers was
approved today by the House
Judi "iary subcommittee.
At the same time it tabled the
Douglass resolution, which would
have offered a reward of 500, 900
for apprehension of the Lindbergh
kidnSperS.
The Cochran bill gives the Fed
eral Government Jurisdiction
where criminals have spirited a
victim across a State line.
The Douglass resolution was
tabled because the committee be-
lieved the United States had no
jurisdiction and could assume
ne 1e as the crime was committed
wholly within the boundaries Of
New Jersey.
There is little double that the
full Judiciary Committee will act
speedily to confirm the action of
the subcommittee. Such approval
will bring the bill before the
House for action. Apparently the
Douglass resolution is dead.
Representative Montague CD
Of Virginia, pointed out that it
is within the power of The Execu-
tive branch to offer publicly or
privately, a reward for the perpe-
traitors of the Lindbergh crime,
regardless of where it occurred,
and how many States were in
VolVed.

RUM GRAF 7 LAID
To CURTIS

NEW YORK, May 18 Q.NS0
Another chapter in the story of
John H. Curtis double life was
barred today with the revelation Of
his admission that he took money
to guarantee safe landing of a
cargo of liquor at Norfolk.
The disclosure came from In
Spector Harold r. King, of Nassau
county police, who was present
when Curtis was identified by a
bootlegger as the man to whom
a large sum was paid for protec-
tion that never was given.
Inspector King announced to-
day that he went to Rockville Gen.
ter, L. l., at request of John Fog
arty, private detective retained by
Col. Charles A. Lindbergh, and
talked with the bootlegger for Sev.
eral hours Monday night.
Then, with King, the bootlegger
went to Hopewell and confronted
Curtis. He identified him and Cur
tbs, according to King, confessed
he received the money. This was
a short time before the ship
builder signed his confession of
the hoax in "engotiations" with
the baby kidnapers.
According to Inspector King,
the money was paid December 20,
1881. The bootlegger, described as
a Scotsman about 40, lost con-
siderable money through the deal,
King said, and there was talk
among underworld characters of
doing away with Curtis.

Congress will remain in con-

Senate by Senator Watson, the
majority leader.

Warned by insurgents and
Democrats that it would be 'in-
conceivable to adjourn without
providing relief for the millions
of jobless, watson said:
"I agree that some relief legis-
lation must be passed, and I
know Of no plan to adjourn
until we have passed the tax,

gram would be ready shortly.
He said:

their statutory limit Of tax
indebtedness and / believe it
is up to the Federal Govern
ment to make some form of
unemployment relief"
Borah said he was in favor
of reaching the tax Indebtedness
limit in every State before peo-
pie should be permitted to Starve

Recess Banned
Both Garner and Smell ex-
pressed the hope that the Senate
could complete tax legislation so
that Congress can adjourn about
June II, but turned thumbs
down on a convention recess
while important fiscal legislation
is pending.
Both pointed out that the
fiscal year of the Government
ends June 80 and new appropri-
ations must be provided to run
departments after that date.
