Col. Lindbergh's Baby Is Found Murdered-Senators
Drop Political Squabbles to Revive Mr..
Hoover's Economy Program.
By EDWARD W. PICKARD

COLONEL LINDBERGH'S stolen
~ baby was murdered, probably
soon after the kidnapping. The body of
the infant, badly decomposed and
with fractures of the skull. was
found, partly covered with leaves and
debris, near road in the Sourland
hills less than five miles from the
Lindbergh estate. Physicians said the
little boy had been dead for at least
two months. He was stolen from his
nursery on the night of March /.
The finding Of the body was acct

Allen, negro truck driver. and three
companions who stopped by chance at
that particular place and, stepping In
to the woods, discovered the little
skeleton. Identification was soon es-
tablished by the fragments of cloth
ing, the nurse, Betty Cow, assisting
in this. The skull was fractured on
both sides, one break possibly being
a bullet hole. .J4
With the finding Of the baby's body
the authorities were freed from all
restraint in their efforts to capture
the kidnapers and murderers. Col. Fl.
Norman Schwartzkopf, head of the
New Jersey state police. said they
had group Of persons under sus-
picion and that immediate steps would
be taken to accomplish their arrest.
The search for these cruelest GRIM
inals is countrywide and it is certain
no mercy will be shown them if they
are caught.

which was the biggest winner in the
elections. The Socialists also made
considerable gains. If they do not
work in cooperation with Herriot. he
may have to make a deal with the
moderate right wing headed by Tar
dieu. It might be well again to call
attention to the fact that Radical So
cialists Of France are really neither
very radical nor actually Socialists,
but are liberals with a program for
the aid Of agriculture, industry and
commerce. 1t is not likely that there
viii be any decided change In Frances
international policies under Herriot.
FULFILLING expectations, President
l. Hoover vetoed the so-called Demo
cratic tariff bill, which transferred
from him to congress the power to
make changes in tariff rates as recon-
mended by the tariff commission. The
roll was called In the house and it
was found the proponents Of the meas

Savings of more than $23O,0O0,0OO

ministration above its cut Of $780,

next year. This curtailment should
permit the $1,OOO,OOO,OOO tax bill to
make ends meet in 1888.

believes, $55.00000O will be saved

Senator Watson of Indiana, Repub.
llcan leader. put his full influence be-
hind the tax measure and said he was
confident that 1t, as well as the econ

dominant non-partisan combination.
The revenue bill was reported to the
senate by the finance committee in
the form agreed upon after confer
ence with Secretary of the Treasury
Mills. 1t raises the income tax and
corporation rates above the increases
voted by the house.
CENATOR ROBINSON, Democratic
~ leader Of the senate. put forward
his scheme for providing $2.300,0O0,OO
for the relief Of unemployment, and
President Hoover Endorsed 1t in prin-
ciple. The President then outlined his
own proposals in this line, under which
the Reconstruction Finance corporation
would loan not to exceed $1,500,00O,000
for the various purposes contemplated.
OF this amount, from $250,000,OO0 to
S300,000O00 would be loaned to states
for the relief of unemployment distress
and the remainder would be loaned to
public and private agencies to aid in
the financing of "income producing"
construction projects.
To procure funds for this undertake
ing the Reconstruction Finance cor
poratlon would be authorized to sell
debentures in the amount Of $780,

Sally went away to England with her
husband-and that trunk! Out Of that
silent battle he fought in his breast
and won Washington matured a
philosophy which he eXpounded late in
life, when he wrote on the subject OF
love:
"A woman all beautiful and ac-
complished will, while her hand and
heart are undisposed Of, turn the heads
and set the circle in which she moves
on fire. Let her marry the mad
ness ceases and all is quiet again
Why? Because there is an end of
hope"
Long years after the fire and the
madness, when all was quiet again in
the heart Of Washington, an old lady
in widows weeds over in England re-
ceived with excited hand and leaping
heart, we may believe, letter from
the first man in the world. which she
locked in her trunk, where 1t was
found with others from him when
their neglected hiding place was un-
covered in the 1905:
Nothing has ever been able to
eradicate from my mind the recollec-
ticns of those happy moments, the
happiest in my life, which have en-
Joyed in your company"
Quick to Learn.
The happiest in my life! Wash
ington rarely, If ever, had been in the
presence of a woman with a brilliant
mind and the social graces when first
he beheld Sally Gary Fairfax come up
bride from the James River to live in
the simpler, ruder region of Mount
Vernon Always knowing enough to
know what he did not know. he ever
was quick to learn from those with
whom he was brought in contact as he
climbed upwards.
In his rustic youth, Sally Fairfax
was his exemplar of the drawing room
ritual, in which he was to become the
pattern of a nation. For more than
that, under her guidance of his for
hidden love for her. she taught lesson
in self-mastery to a man who should
build his greatness on that sure founda-
ton.
