The matter penetrates farther than

noted that special efforts are being made
by the Federal Reserve banks and other
leaders CT finance to ease credit. Fa-
cilities for getting more money into
circulation are being tuned up. Above
all, the adoption on the part of credi-
tors of a more lenient policy and the
establishment of a sort of tacit mora
torium or scaling down of present fixed
obligations is being recommended as
the means of sustaining American
credit.
Leaders from the White House to
every branch Of American life recognize
that what the country needs is stimu-
lated activity. rather than a further

If the revenue-producing property is

Party's Prohibition Leaders
Are Cornered by Mill

Bg soripps-Hotcard Newspaper AHi0nce
WASHINGTON, Feb. 26.-While
Democratic politicians are specu-
-lating whether Speaker John N.
Garner, a presidential possibility, is
wet or dry, evidence accumulated
today TO show that the Republican
national convention may be unable
TO straddle the prohibition issue.
Senator w. w. Barbour, success
sor to the late Dwight w. Morrow
Of New Jersey, announced that he
will urge repeal of the Eighteenth
amendment and that he is EN-
phatically opposed to equivocation
or compromise"
Barbour believes a majority senti-
ment exists against prohibition and
that "the Republican party should
not, and can not, afford longer to
ignore the issue or take any half
hearted stand upon it,"
THE prohibition question" he
added, sis one that can be solved
only by facing the problem square,
1y and courageously."
Senator Barbour's announcement
adds to rapidly accommodating wor-
ries of Republican dry leaders, like
Senator Simeon D. Fess of Ohio,
national chairman. who are hopeful
of avoiding a fight on the floor of
the convention.
From east and west Republican
delegates are preparing to go to
Chicago to fight for repeal of the
dry law. In the east it is expected
that the New York, Connecticut,
Massachusetts, Maryland, and part
of the Pennsylvania delegations will
join with delegations from Wiscon-
sin, Colorado, and Pacific coast
states to demand a repeal pledge
IN the party platform.
The anti-prohibition demand is
becoming so determined that many
Republican leaders are urging that
the administration take no stand
for or against prohibition, but leave

after the discovery of the pig child, an 18-
month-od baby found murdered and hid
den in a marsh land. Searching investigations
by the Stat Police quickly revealed the muir
derers-the babys mother and foster father.
The baby had been born before their mar
riage, it was an unwelcome child and had been
murdered by the bare hands of the foster
father, who was helped in his CORY work by the
babys mother. Both father and mother were
found to be feeble minded but both were elec-
trocuted at Sing Sing.
But ignorance and feeble -mindedness not
the only reasons for some famous cases of bru-
tality. One of the most unusual cases of this
sort is still discussed in psychology books. This
is the case Of "Caspar HauSer."
IN the Summer of 1923 boy about II years
! old appeared at the gates Of Nurnberg Mys-
terious as his appearance was. he himself was
more mysterious Unable to talk. naturally he
could give no information about himself, but it
was obvious that he was half starving that his
feet were bleeding, and that he was afraid of
people.
He was dragged to the police station like a
balky calf When light was made, he jumped
like rabbit, and snatched at the candle flame
with his bare hands, burning them. There was
much investigation of this strange youth. and
although heavy royal pressure was brought to
bear it was gradually discovered that he was
legitimate prince of the House of Baden
The criminologist Anselm Won Feuerbaoh,
discovered that this lad was the son Of step
daughter of Napoleon, one of her four sons. al
of whom had died or disappeared suspiciously.
He was a brother of the Queen of Bavaria, Of
the Duchess Of Hamilton and of the Queen Of
Sweden. Caspar and his three brothers wero
thrown out of the way and literally into the
forests by an ambitious woman who was united
in morganatic marriage with the ruling prince
and wanted to save the throne selfishly.
