through. press office to-day---that Calvatore Spitale, underworld go between, was aboard train in- bound from Chicago, with the baby in a private car.
 Spitale was in a speakeasy in the early morning hours when in- tervlewed by the United Press. At that time he denied again he had any real tips from the underworld, and indicated his belief that the kidnapers-if they are profession als--are waiting to have the "heat turned off," That is, they are lay ing low until the hue and cry in police and press quarters dies down before coming forward with word to "salvi."
 He could have gone outside the city and boarded Q train after that interview, but there was nothing to indicate he had.
 The Chicago Flyer was crowded with reporters at several stops through Pennsylvania, but there was no baby aboard and no Spit ale. The same situation prevailed when the train pulled into New York. It was simply another ru- nor, plucked out of thin air, and run to earth discouragingly.
 And, positive pledge has been given that if the baby Is returned, the world will be promptly &C., quainted of the news, through Trenton headquarters.

NO COMPROMISE IN BOSTON OVER
 THE CANDIDATES
Backers of Alfred E. Smith Say Roosevelt Must Win or Lose in an Open Contest

Boston, March 10--CU. P.) - Chances of any compromise be- tween the Roosevelt and Smith fore es in Massachusetts seemed slim to- day. It was reported reliably that supporters of Alfred F. Smith would not engage in any sort of trade with Mayor James M. Curley of Boston, nominal leader of the Franklin D. Roosevelt forces in this state, in connection with the Mass. achusetts presidential primary scheduled for April 26.
 If Governor Roosevelt is to re- ceive any support at the Chicago convention from Massa chusetts del- egates he apparently will be ob- liged to obtain their election in an open contest with candidates pledg- ed to Smith. Unconflrmed reports were that Mayor Curley has sug- gested to U. $. Senator David I. Walsh q deal whereby delegates pledged to Smith would accept Roosevelt as second choice. Mayor Curley, who was in Washington to- day to appear before congress sional committee. addressed an open letter to Smith yesterday, ask ing him to withdraw his name from the Massachusetts presiden- tial primary,

Previously he stated, that Minicucci talked all right ana act ed all right and walked without difficulty. He appeared to be great ly excited when ushered into head quarters the sergeant also stated.
 In previous hearings Patrolmen Thomas Phelan, Thomas Bedding, John Meaney and Joseph Sullivan declared that Minicucci on the night of January 25th was SO much under the influence of liquor that the police officers had to lift him out of his machine, Q statement which defense witnesses later de- nied.
 The accused was followed by a police car over Grove street, through north square and was stop ped near the corner of Cherry and Vine streets and placed under ar- rest. The states evidence was pre- sented on the installment plan. To- day the defense produced It's Wit neSSes
 On the night of January 18th Minicucci and some friends visited at the home of Mrs Daniel Martino or Earl street. They had but two medium glasses of wine. When they left the house Mrs Martino declared that the accused was not under the influence of liquor and l,t l.A from the house.
 Photos of Earl street were pro- duced and explained by William B. Reynolds, civil engineer. It showed an exceptionally rough road and rather trying experi- ence for any operator.
 Ralph Pagano, who was with Miniccuci, corroborated Mrs Mar tno's statements about the quan- ,ity of wine and Minicucci's sobri- cty. On the homeward trip Mini cucci passed three traffic points and observed the lights properly.
 Fred Kirschner, an auto me- once, testified that the morning following the arrest he inspected chanic of twenty years experi- the defendants car and discovered defect which would cause Mini cucci's machine to "shimmy." which was the defense's principal contention, the car, not the driver, was at fault. As to the degree of "shimmying" MT Kirschner de- clared that 1t would depend on the condition of roads or highways and the drivers skill or experience.

 Wednesday midnight he drove off again and did not return until a. m., they said.
 As related to me, the story is:
 Colonel Lindbergh drove a coupe rapidly on the first trip and the state troopers guarding the private road to his estate, were almost run down when they attempted to stop him. The guard, not recognizing the uniform symbols in the black night stood in the middle of the road flashing light. The car instead of diminishing its speed, jumped for ward under new pressure on the &C., celerator. The troopers leaped and sprawied into the roadside ditch as the car roared by, lurched and swung. crazily as it negotiated the difficult corner, and took the back cut, through Skillman to a highway that would lead to any place where Lindbergh might have been bound.

 He took them off and hung them in the passage way between the gar age and the kitchen. A few hours later they were gone. He compiain- ed and his immediate superiors pressed the search. The disappear ance got as high as Captain John J. Lamb, who was said to have in- structed the trooper and the lesser officers to forget it," and ordered new equipment sent out from the barracks for the victim.

 Lindbergh, however, is watched carefully because the strain of more than d week of waiting for return of her baby is cruelty tear ing her heart and body.
 Asked for statement as to whether there is 'any indication that the baby is alive or when 1t will be returned" the spokesman replied in the crisp language of the trooper, Question previously answered"
 The previous answer, however, yielded no tangible sign that any, thing positive is known as to the child's whereabouts or condition, for the police at that time admitted that their confidence in the child's welfare was based solely on the fact that they had had no word indicating harm to the baby.
 Colonel Henry Breckinridge. Lindberghs personal adviser, is still trying to make positive con- tacts with the underworld. and is going into regions hitherto un- known to him. But, he has re- ceived nothing positively tangible as Q guiding star in the effort at restoration of the child.
 The United Press can reiterate on positive. unimpeachable au. thority that the Lindberghs did not receive on Sunday two communi- cations from the kidnapers. Re. ports that they did. have been given wide but erroneous circula- ton, stirring in the public the idea of a real and definite contact be. tween the sorrowing Lndbergh household and the kidnapers.
 The Andberghs are having the assistance of a man listed as MOT. ris Rosner, who has in the past been associated with persons high in the justice department. It 10 hinted that he supplied Colonel Breekinrldge with the names of Bpitale and Bits as 70 betweens with the underworld.

to MT Reed by Commissioners Da- vid Burnet of the treasury depart ment. The letter received by MT Reed is as follows:
 Reference Is made to the evi- dence submitted for the use of the bureau in making determination of the status of your organiza- tion for federal income tax pur- poses.
 "The evidence submitted dis closes that your organization was formed during 1881 without capital stock for the purpose of receiving and disbursing funds contributed by the citizens of Waterbury. Connecticut, and others to be used for the purchase of food. fuel, clothing and other necessities of life and for the employment of labor solely for relief purposes. The actual operation of your orr ganization appears to be in &C., cordance with the purposes for which it was formed. None of your income inures to the benefit of any private person or individ- ual.
 Based on the foregoing, it is held that your organization is en- titled to exemption under the pro- visions of section 103 (6) of the Revenue Act of 1928. You are not, therefore. required to file returns of annual income for 1881 and subsequent years with respect to each of which you retain your nontaxable status.
 "The exemption referred to in this letter does not apply to taxes levied under other titles or provi- sions of the Revenue Act Of 1928 except insofar as the exemption Is granted expressly under those pro- visions to corporations enumerated In section i03.
 Any changes in your organiza- ton or method of operation must be immediately reported to the collector of internal revenue for your district in order that tho ef. feet of such changes upon your present exempt status may be de- termined.
 ''a,nee your organization is on. titled to exemption under the pros visions of section i03 l6) of the Nevenue Act of 1928. It follows that contributions made thereto are deductlble in computing the net Income Of the individual don- ora ln the manner and Co the ex. fent provided by section s3(H) of the Iieyenuo Act Of 1928.

 and gained momentum during the day and night---a day and night Tn which hopes that the toddling baby would be found alive scared only to be shattered in storm of de- nials and later developments. It was a search many felt should have been completed long ago, but was not, except in @ most superhcial manner.
 One of the principal bases for hopes the baby soon would be re- turned had been reports of direct communications between the kid. napers and Colonel Lindbergh. Two letters, reported Sunday, but repeatedly denied by the United Press, were mentioned.
 The United Press denials were based on information from unin1- peachable sources. Police were not consulted.
 Early to-day, Major Charles H. Schoeffel, deputy superintendent or state police, categorically denied any definite communication has been received that the baby was "alive and we'll"
 He said that so far as state pc lice knew, Colonel Lindbergh had not been in communication with the kidnapers.
 Hopes that the innocent victim of the kidnapers still lived and would be returned safely to his mothers arms, were encouraged by these developments:
 The Lindberghs appeared cheer- ful and optimistic.
 Governor A. Harry Moore an- nounced he was convinced the baby lived and would be returned soon to his parents"
