RELATED BY DRIVER
Identity of Persons Receiving
Ransom Money May Come
From Cab Mans Story.

BY the Associated Press.
FLEMINGTON, N. j., June 23.-New
Jersey officials were investigating last
night the story Of a colored taxicah
driver as a possible Cue to the identity
of the persons who received the $4,000
ransom in the Lindbergh kidnapping
mystery.
The man, taken into custody in New

was understood to have recounted that
he drove two men and woman to a
spot near St Raymonds Cemetery on
the night of April 2. the place and
date of DR.. John F. Condon's (Jafsie)
payment of the ransom.
The taxi driver, it was understood
recalled that one of the men wore an
artificial nose and remarked to his
companions: MY mother wouldn't
recognize me in this outfit" All three
were said to have spoken with an
English accent.
When the driver stopped his cab near
the cemetery, it was said. the disguised
man disappeared for short while and
on his return directed the driver tc
take them to the One Hundred and
Twenty-fifth street ferry in Manhattan
They alighted there and he drove away
without seeing them again.
While this story was being scrutinizeo
prosecution and defense were preparing
their cases for the opening next Monday
of the trial of John Hughes Curtis
Norfolk, Va, boatbuilder, on charges Of
hoaxing Col. Charles A. Lndbergh in
the disastrous hunt for the kidnapers
Of his baby son. He has since repudi-
ated his confession.

Morgan Belmont Reveals
Plan Made on Basis
of SchWab Deal.
BY the Associated Press.

by tne Associated Press.
NEW YORK, June 23-Morgan Bel
mont testified that negotiations in 1928
by Charles NJ. Schwab, to dispose of
his interests in the Chicago Pneumatic
Tool Co. for s1s,ooo,CO0, or $4,000 900
more than the market value, were ac-
companied by plans of brokers, pre-
sImably formulated to raise the value
OF the stock by rigging the MARKET"
Belmont. who is partner in August
Belmont q Co., was a witness in the
action brought by Victor Soskice and
Michael Kay against the Belmont firm
and Speyer & Co. for s14O, 900 commits
slons for bringing Schwab to them.
Firm Got Commissions.
Under questioning by Frederick E.
Klein, attorney for the plaintiffs, Bel
mont testified that his firm received
S26.OCO in commissions without put
ting up cent to purchase the Schwab
stock.
How much did Speyer g. Co. put
up?" Klein asked.
I don't know" Belmont replied.
Ihen he fatty denied that his firm
and the other defendant COMPANY
bought the outstanding 95.OO0-odd
shares OF Chicago Pneumatic Tool Co
stock at SITS share when its market
value late in 1927 was about sl37.
The plaintiffs assert all the Schwab
stock was purchased by the bankers and
based their claims for commission on
that ground, but Belmont insisted that
all the stock purchased that he knew
OF was two blocks, one of 1880 shares
at $l27.5O a share, and the other of
$500 shares at 1929 a share, on which
he said the plaintiffs were paid fun
commission.
Releases Offered.
Referring to releases signed in
January, 1928, by Soskice and KAY.
Klein called attention to a paragraph
prohibiting them from operating in the
market in the tool stock until
May IL, 1928
That was so Speyer g. Co. could rig
the market?" Klein asked.
1T is customary" Belmont replied,
for house undertaking a market
operation TO protect themselves from
persons who have knowledge of the
affair"

Arms Plan Wins Favor
France Stands Alone in Condemning Hoover Pro-
bosal-Paris Press Sees Statement as
Electioneering Scheme.

The press association at London,
however, quoted "a naval authority" as
saying he did not think the plan "for
one moment practicable" and that it
had no chance OF acceptance by the
great powers even If Hoover waves q
big stick and refuses to consider debt
reductions should his scheme fail"
The proposals surprised the Japanese
government at Toxic completely and
the news was prominently displayed.
The foreign Office spokesman said the
details disclosed by the press dispatches
were drastic and far-reaching," but it
was impossible to discuss them with
out careful study.
The Hoover proposals should put new
blood into the languishing conference, >
the British Manchester Guardian said
in an editorial, land at the same time
they should challenge the powers tc
do something to justify their lip service
to ideas of peace and the pact of Paris
which they have signed
THE proposals may or may not be
practicable In every detail; then, like
all such schemes, they can be modi-
fed"
japanese Opinion Divided.
Japanese naval authorities intimated
IiAaI Japan pTODaDly WOulQ De ready to
support the abolition of chemical war
fare, aerial bombardment of cities and
reduction of aircraft carriers, although
they doubted the advisability of abol-
tshing aerial bombers.
The drastic cuts in capital ships and
cruisers proposed by the President would
certainly be opposed, they said.
japanese military officials appeared
skeptical of the practicability of the
proposals and said they considered them
as impractical as Soviet Russia's pro-
posal fer total abolition of armaments.
They said they were inclined to doubt
President Hcover's sincerity and con-
sidered his pan primarily intended to
court favor in the presidential election.
Praised in Italy.
The Italian newspapers were enthusi-
aStic about the American proposals,
some of them crediting the understand
ing between Italy and the United States
to Dino Grandi's recent visit with
President Hoover
Leon Blum, French Socialist leader,
wrote in his newspaper Populaire that
he wished France had submitted this
new plan instead of waiting for the
American President. He urged the peo-
pie to support the plan and said he
wished that France would accept it
without delay or conditions.

controversial. France maintains that
such a cut would put her in distinct
position of inferiority in relation with
her neighbors, Italy and Germany.
The French have some 100000 men
under arms, inclusive of the colonial
army Taking for granted that France
will be entitled to maintain large pro-
portion of this army on account OF her
widespread colonies, she would still
have to reduce her forces by some
10000 men. Italy and Germany will
have a smaller active army. but both
these countries have organizations
which France does not possess. The
Germans have, on and above the
100000 Reichswehr. at least 100000
young men who belong to semi-military
organizations, such as the Hitler shock
troops, the Stahlhelm and many ath-
letic organizations. The Italians have
the Fascist regular troops, the Young
Fascist organizations and other similar
societies, which can be considered as
potential reserves.
These are only few of the complex
problems which have been facing the
disarmament conference and which
are not solved in the Presidents pro-

Newspapers and officials IN the prin.
cipal European countries today greeted
President Hoover's plan for general dis.
armament cuts, announced yesterday
with more or less favor.
The French papers, however, almost
universally condemned 1t as "demagogy'
and as an electioneering scheme.
The widely read Petit Parisien o1
Paris said if 1t had been submitted last
February, together with the French
constructive plan, it would have elected
only applause. but today it appears asa
piece OF extreme demagogy and an elec.
toral maneuver"
President Hoover might be forgiven
for addressing an electoral manifesto
to Europe" lie Matin of Paris said, 'but
he can hardly be forgiven for forgetting
that an international conference is helc
to confer, and not as a registry fol
ukaseS."
Lauded in Germany.
The widely known political writer
Pertinax, in the Nationalist Echo de
Paris, said
President Hoover seeks to impress
the multitude by an elementary meas
ure which the simplest can under
stand"
L'Oeuvre, organ of the Left at Paris
said since no revision of the debts was
mentioned. I'VE are asked to make posi-
tive concessions in exchange for hypo-
thetic advantages"
German newspapers, however. laudeo
the proposal as courageous and hailed II
as the most significant international
step since the declaration of the one
year moratorium on reparations and
debt payments last Summer.
1T is the most powerful contribution
to peace and welfare since the war;"
the Industrialist Allgemeine Zeitung
said.
Sensible nations must now unite and
let France go on In the path of isola-
tion." the Boersen zeitung of Berlin
said.
At Madrid. Premier Manuel zana
said the proposals "dovetail with the
Spanish republics often-repeated de-
sires for world peace"
Sensation in London.
The proposals created a sensation in
the British press. The general attitude
among the cabinet ministers remaining
in London was that anyhow, things
are moving" George Lansbury. leader
of the Labor opposition, lauded the
Hoover proposals.
