votes of the outside maximum claim
of the nti-prohibitionists
The Importance of the vote was
obvious on the floor and in the
gallery. 1t was preceded by brief
but warm debate in which only one
of the drys, Representative Moore
(Rep., %, participated.
Every Seat Is Taken
Practically every seat on the floor
was taken for the first time in many
days. A number of congressman
were so anxious over the outcome
that they kept their own roll-calls
at their places.
The crowd in the gallery was so
boiSterouS that Speaker Garner was
unable to maintain control over it
a times.
The roll call was interrupted by
applause when four women men,
bers voted with the anti-prohibi-
tionists. They were Mrs. Florence
F. Kahn CRep., CALI, Mrs. Ruth
Pratt (Rep-, N. ", Mrs. Mary T.
Norton (Dem, N. j. and Mrs. Edith
NourSe Rogers (Rep, Mass.).
Speaker Garner did not vote. His
name was not called, in accordance
with the custom of the house. The
rule provides that Speaker may
cast his vote if he desires, but he
generally is not expected to vote.
Laughter and Applause
There was laughter and some
times applause when a few of the
members hastily changed their
votes.

The law began the thir-
teenth day Of its futile hunt
for the kidnapped Lindbergh
baby with new plans-plans
drawn up in a conference of
all police agencies co-operat-
ing in the search.
The conference was called by
Colonel Charles A. Lindbergh him
self Sunday afternoon. 1t followed
twelve days of police work and pri-
yate undercoYer work which so far
has failed to disclose ANY definite
information of a concrete nature
leading to solution of the case"
Revived Hopes Dashed
Progress announced earlier in the
week was discussed. The progress
consisted chiefly of the elimination
of thousands of false clews, false
reports, and hundreds of babies err
roneously reported as the Lind
bergh baby"
Incidents over the weekend had
been the basis for revived hopes the
baby soon would be found. These
were disposed of by Colonel H. Nor
man Schwartzkopf as follows:
The picture of child held at
CroSsville, Tenn, was sent by tele-
photo to New York city, and mas
just been received by special mes
Senger at Hopewell. This picture
was shown to Colonel Lindbergh,
who, after careful study, says that
it is not a picture of his son."
This was in refutation of a widely
published report that the baby had
been found in the eastern Tennessee
village.
Another statement read:
UndercOver Man Clew Fails
Continuous investigation is being
conducted and numerous leads have
been traced down without discloS-
ing any definite information of a
concrete nature leading to solu-
ton of the case"
This disposed of a widely pub
liShed statement credited to Nor
ris RoSner, undercover agent, to the
effect that the Lindbergh baby was
held by "a family" and was safe
and well. Such a statement was
unauthorized" Schwartzkopf said,
by police or the Lindbergh family.
One high official did tell the
United Press that two sets of finger
prints we're found in the nursery
room from which Charles A. Lind
bergh Jr. was stolen a week ago
last Tuesday night.
This confirmed reports published
day or so after the crime, and re-
futed denials issued later.
Both sets of finger prints were
those of men, this informant said.
One set on the window sill pointed
inside the room.
The prints were made by no
known criminal, thus lending
strength to the theory that the work
was that of amateurs, more bold
and cunning than far-sighted.
