WASHINGTON, March 2.-De-
mandS for prompt action by con-

who called attention to the Lind

Senator Barbour (Rep., N. j. who
succeeded the late Dwight w. Nor

while Representative Seger (Rep.,

Senator Bingham (Rep., Comm,

Senator King Dem.. Utah, a

Rumor had it that they had Wis

age of a Spartan mother.
The first word Frustrated her, but
it vas not long before she was ex-
hibiting the same courage as her
husband, and she helped authorities.
Once she joined searchers for a
short period.
Many ClewS Traced
Her burden was all the greater
for she had been nursing the child
several days because of a cold. And
the kidnaperS, without even trying
to catch up some quilts, dragged
the baby off, clad only in its sleep

again an %expectant mother.
Many clews were run down, only
to end disappointingly.
Before dawn, a Philadelphia truck
driver reported sighting beside the
roadway, not far from the Lind
bergh home, a bundle which ap-
peared similar to a baby or a doll.
Troopers hurried to the scene on
fast motorcycles, but found that all
the man had seen was a bundle of
papers.
More than a dozen motor cars
were reported stolen in New jersey
yesterday, and these were checked
in the hope of furnishing a clew.
The only one which appeared
hopeful was an abandoned car
found near Hillside, N. ia car
stolen from a Brooklyn man. It's
headlights were streaming, and it
matched description of a blue Nash
sedan in which two men at dark
Tuesday inquired at Princeton for
the way to the Lindbergh estate.
Dog Fails to See AbductOrs
Police thought the inquiries might
have been the kidnaperS or their
advance men. But they were at a
loss to reconcile this with evidence
that the kidnapers we're familiar

Grated.
A faithful dog, always alert. made
no sound, as far as is known, dur
ing the visit of the kidnaper to
the nursery on the second floor.
The man may have made friends
earlier with the animal.
The kidnapping visit was well
timed. The baby had been put to
bed and Mrs. Lindbergh had kissed
him goodnight at about 7:3O.
Later in the evening, the nurse
maid, Betty Cow, was startled to
find the crib empty, and the child
nowhere to be found. She gave
the alarm, and then the authorities
were summoned.
But by this time the kidnaper
had a good start.

The ladder had cracked as he
came down, and there is a chance
he fell, injuring himself and the

Had Woman Accomplish
His tracks led out of the estate
toward the main road, where a
woman's footprints appeared. This
gave the clews that the kidnapers
had a woman accomplice, who
should watch over the baby until
such time as they could bargain for
for their ransom.

Mrs. Dwight w. Morrow, mother
OF Mrs. L~indbergh, arrived at the
Lindberg home early this morning
to be with her daughter. She mo-
tored down from her home at En-

on the kidnapping as she entered the
big stone house.
Fears Child Will Suffer
"The poor child has had a cold
and will suffer" Mrs. Lindbergh said
broken-hearted. I'VE have been
doctoring him for several days"
Colonel Lindbergh, quiet but
manifestly suffering from terrific
strain, said he suspected no one, and
observed:
They must have got through
that window pointing to a
screened window which would not
close because it was warped.
Baby Lindbergh was tucked in his
crib at 7:30 p. m. His mother kissed
him good night. after trying vainly
to fasten a loose. warped screen in
the nursery on the second floor.
About 10 p. m. the nursemaid
entered to see that her charge

N. j., March
2.-Charles Augustus Lind

haired, 20-months-o oil child of
Colonel and Mrs. Lindbergh is
held today for $4,000 ram
som.
Seized in his crib Tuesday night
as he lay slumbering and Ill of a
cold, the baby was taken away by
kidnapers. one of whom is believed
to be a woman.
With cold daring, the actual kid
napers crept up a short sectional
ladder into the second-floor nur-
sery some time between 7:30 and
10 p. M, took the child down the
ladder, and left behind the ransom
demand, a note dropped in the
empty crib.
Indy Willing to Pay
Colonel Lindbergh is willing to
pay the kidnapers the ransom they
| demand, it was stated authorita-
lively here today, eff they will make
known the means and the occasion
for so doing"
The note, demanding the $4,000
for the child's freedom, was report
ed to have said in substance:
1--WE will be back tomorrow
"wednesday to talk business. Don't
talk to the police or the papers"
Colonel Lindbergh, grim and re-
ticent, aided in searching for the
kidnapers, and was represented as
ready personally to enter direct ne
gotiations for the child'S return.
Sensation Is World Wide
Meantime, the kidnapping created
q worldwide sensation.
Literally thousands of police and
state troopers were put on alarm
guard, watching highways, and
state and national boundary lines.
Over the teletype wires of the
eastern states and up along the
Canadian border flashed word that
one of the nations most famous
babies had been stolen.
The kidnaper apparently had not
realized the furore and resentment
their deed would cause.
Police everywhere went to work
with a will to come up with the
kidnapers, while the federal depart
ments Of justice, commerce and
treasury in Washington offered to
do all within their power to track
down the criminals.
President Hoover manifested his
interest.
Aviators from many parts of the
country offered their services, and
an air comrade was sent aloft this
morning to see if from the skies
he could see anything along the
roadways of Value to the search.
The commerce department was
ready also to help with pilots.

Crop United States Grows
but Does Not Use.

Washington. "Ginseng's popular
lty with the Chinese seems to defy
falling markets and political disorders,
for last year more than quarter mil
lion pounds were exported from the
United States to Hong Kong" says
q bulletin from the National Geograph-
ic society.
"Ginseng has been an item in United
States commerce since Colonial times.
The first American cargo boat that
cleared New York, for Hong Kong, in
1884, carried ginseng. The Chinese
drink ginseng tea for it's tonic quality.
Though we raise 1t and sell it, the tea
has never been highly regarded in the
United States, and very little is con-
sumed here.
"Ginseng is a plant that grows from
8 to 20 inches high, has oval-shaped
leaves, bears greenish-yellow blossoms
In midsummer and red berries in the
fall. 1t thrives in mountain areas Of
temperate North America and Asia.
The above-ground portion of the plant
