"NeWs For CoIoneES Ears

HOP w ELL, N. J.,
March II (I.N.S.).-There
was considerable conjecture
today concerning the mys-
terious visit to the Lind
bergh home last night of a
woman of about 65, who was
driven by a chauffeur. She
was said to have telephoned
Col. Charles A. Lindbergh
that she had Every valuable
information for his ears
alone in connection with the
kidnapped Lindbergh baby.
TRENTON, N. J., March II
(I.N.S. For the sixteenth
day the amazing Lindbergh
kidnapping mystery investiga-
ton resolved itself today into
following clues that flared up
only to sputter out completely
under scrutiny.
Nothing to assist in the pur.
suit" or nothing Of value to i'm
part" were the most common re.
ports received by Col. H. Nor.

Of the New Jersey State police,
from investigators.
Lindys Watch, Wait
Colonel and Mrs. Lindbergh, at
their Hopewell IN. j. home from
which their young son was stolen
March /, maintained their Sc
clusion today. They were re-
ported to have become reconciled
to a "watchful waiting" policy.
One clue the police picked up
some days ago was to be more
thoroughly checked today. It con-
cerned a blue-green sedan seen
by Miss Teresa Dedsi, 10, Of
WertSville, N. j., music student,
near the Lindbergh home on Feb
ruary %. She told police its three
occupants, two rough look ing
Italians, the other a blond youth,
asked the way to the flier's estate.
It was on March l that Charles
Augustus Lindbergh, jr., was
stolen. Between those two dates,
what was believed to have been
the same car was seen several
times in the neighborhood by AL
fred Hammond, watchman at q
grade crossing at Skillman, and
by John Dougherty, a telephone

It was expected Miss Dedsi
would be taken to New York to-
day to attempt Identification Of

rogues' gallery pictures.
Theories Discarded
Elimination of further theories
and "clueS" in the kidnapping mys-
terry was contained today in the
police communique.
The negative substance Of the
forenoon bulletin read:
That the whereabouts Of two
former servants of Mrs. C. Le-

with the case and that Light

he claimed to have lost.

The Irish National Festival, which
commentaries the great apostle,
st. Patrick, is day on which the
thoughts and aspirations of the
Irish race turn to the old coun-
try, the scene Of successful labors
in the great work Of Christianity
which st. Patrick began Is centu-
ries ago.
The enthusiastic reception of
Christianity by the Irish people
marks the diStinctiveness of the
success of st. Patrick'S mission.
Parchment, metals, and stones
bear today from the dim past
conclusive testimony of the zeal
and persuaSiveneSS Of the culture
of the Irish nation so many
centuies ago.
In no other country of the
world are there so many of our
race as in the great United States.
From it's beginnings, in all its
vicisSitudes and in its triumphs,
Irish names have honored places.
May they continue to merit the
appreciation and esteem which
has been a distinguishing char
acteristic Of the long and honor

THOMAS MAKES
FINAL APPEAL
Comfortable Owning Class
Asked for Support.

~ CHtted Press
MILWAUKEE, Nov. 8-An appeal
for votes from members of the
comfortable owning class" who
have "eyes for the future and love
for civilization of security and
peace" brought the Socialist presi-
Dental campaign of Norman
Thomas to an end here on Monday
night.
Most surely if you are a farmer,
serf to the landlord, the mortgage
holder, the market Spectator and
the middleman, you will not longer
throw away your vote on either of
the two old parties, both financed
by Wall Street, which, between
them, have let our dying capitalism
drift to such pitch of ruin for you
that in some places you can get
more for load of Sawdust than a
load Of wheat" Thomas said.
IF your are a worker or pro-
feSSional man who must find your
reward and whatever security you
hope to save in the fruits of hon
est work, you will want this year to
renounce the insanity Of voting for
a party which seeks to perpetuate
the glorified racketeering which
capitalism has become-a racket in
which all the rich material prices
go to manipulators and spectators. 4"
Both old parties, Thomas assert
ed, are helpless before present con-
ditionS.
