CODE MESSAGE REVEALED.

SEATTLE, Wash, April 0 Up.--A
code message, said by authoritative
sources to relate to the Lindbergh kid
naping and to have been authorised by
New Jersey police, was printed In the
personal column Of a newspaper here
on the order of Seattle police, 1t has
been revealed.
The message: ITO May-King street
ends at 96. Wire correction. Signed
June" 1t was published Tuesday.
The order for its publication came
from police headquarters and the charge
was paid by Chief Of Detectives Charles
Tenant Police declined to discuss the
personal" but sources considered
authoritative said 1t was in connection
with the Lindbergh baby kidnapping and
ordered by New Jersey State police.

tax would be burdensome We do not
believe the entire cost of street con-
Struction and maintenance should be
put upon the automobile. If the high
way fund is created, as has been sug-
gested, to which the special taxes levied
on the automobile are credited. and a
fair amount of the Federal appropria-
ton is credited to this fund, it will be
sufficient to carry on a reasonable road
program by the District government.
Figures Presented.
ITO compare the City of Washington
with a city that does participate in the
gas tax reference Is made to the City Of
Cleveland, with approximately twice the
population of Washington and double
the number of registered automobiles,
but 1t is found that the City OF Cleve-
land receives from this source S1,040,-
900, or a little more than one-half the
amount received by the City of Wash
ington.
The appropriation on the part of
the Federal Government of 100000 600
annually, and now increased to $125,-
100000, to be apportioned to the va
rious States, encourages road construc-
ton and may be participated in by any
State, provided it will match the Fed
eral dollar. This has resulted in an
enormous increase of State debt for
highway purposes More than $1,000
100000 of State debt for highway pur-
poses Is now outstanding, and if to this
Is added the debts of counties and local
governments, we will have a total of
approximately $4,000, 100000 of debt for
highway purposes.
The desire on the part of States to
avail themselves of the Federal appro-
priation may have resulted In a road
construction program in excess of their
actual needs and as q result a consid-
cradle portion Of the gasoline tax must
be used for the amortization of high
way bonds. The City Of Washington
has no such debt and no occasion for
diverting any of its funds for such
purposes. 1t is also found that the
annual charge for the upkeep and
maintenance Of highways by the State
governments Is about 5000 000. 900, while
the annual expenditure for new road
ways by the State governments is ap-
proximately $3.50. o.o00, 900. The City of
Washington is not burdened with such
expenditures for the reasons that our
street mileage II small and most OF
our streets are paved

VICTORY FORECAST
FOR H|NDENBURG
100000 Votes Expected
to Be Cast in Election
Tomorrow.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
BERLIN, April 9.-The second politi-
cal battle of Won Hindenburg VS.. Hitler,
the greatest electoral contest in the his
tory Of Germany, was all but ended to-
day as more than 37,ooO,0O0 voters pre-
pared again to elect President of the
Reich.
In contrast with that which preceded
the first (and indecisive) election four
weeks ago. the campaign for tomorrow's
voting has been brief but bitter. Held
down by the decree proclaiming polit-
ical truce over the Easter holidays, it
did not pegin until last Sunday.
Followers of Won Hindenburg, the S4-
sear-old former field marshal of the
Kaiser's armies, were confident today
that he would win. They based their
confidence on the fact that he fell short
of a clear majority over all candidates
in the election Of March l3 by only
174328 out of 1858 036 votes In to-
morTow's election a simple plurality will
re-elect him.
Three Candidates Remain.
Two of the five candidates who par
ticipated in the March election have
withdrawn. Lieut.. Col. Theodore Dues
terberg, candidate of the Steel Helmet
organization, and Gustav Winter, Re
Evaluationist, declined to make the Sec
ond race. The three who remain on the
ballot are: Paul Won Hindenburg, nom
partisan; Adolf Hitler. National Social
5st and Ernst Thaelmann, Communist.
The battle is between Hindenburg
and Hitler who was runner-up in the
March election, but who trailed the
veteran field marshal by more than T.,
600. 900 votes.
Hitler has been travelling by airplane
and breaking all Speechmaking records,
making four a day in an effort to lop
100000 of the more than 100000
votes received by Won Hindenburg in
the first election.
Leaders of Hitler's National Socialist
party claim they have 10000 men,
bers enrolled and they predicted today
that Hitler would receive 100000
votes tomorrow.
Free From Disorders.
The Republican Iron front" has
held $4,000 meetings from one end of
Germany to the other in support of Won
Hindenburg.
Although the week has been remark
ably free from disorders, beginning at
noon today police reserves will be held
in readiness for any emergency until
the polls are closed tomorrow night
The issues remain the same as they
were a month ago Hitler stands for a
personal dictatorship, Won Hindenburg
for building up and developing the
German republic along the paths
marked out by the late Gustav Strese-
mann and the present chancellor, Helm
rich Bruening,
Ernst Thaelmann, the Communist
candidate, who polled Just short of S.
00o. 900 votes in the last election, stands
for a dictatorship of the proletariat
patterned upon that at Moscow.

yania. to have a Tariff Commission
study of the effect Of deprecated for
elgn currencies on American trade.
The action was taken without a rec
ord vote after lengthy debate, during
which the original resolution offered by
Senator Reed calling for Tariff Com
mission investigation was amended on
motion of Senator Harrison, Democrat,
of Mississippi to call for an inquiry
also by a special committee of seven
Senators to be appointed by Vice Presi-
dent Curtis.
Senator Moses, Republican. of New
Hsmpshire. President pro tempore,
ruled that because provision is made
for paying the expenses of the COM
mittee's investigation, the resolution
must go to the Audit and Control Com
mittee for action and does not become
effective until reported back and ap-
proved again by the Senate.
Harrison and other Democrats had
charged the Reed resolution was an
entering wedge for higher tariffs.
THE object Of getting this informa-
ton" Harrison said. "is to write new
tariff rates into the law They would
be temporary, yes, but when you get In
creased rates in there it is sometimes
hard to get them out. Be not deceived.
This is movement to get increased
tariff duties"
Holding higher tariffs largely respon-
Stble for present economic conditions,
Robinson said
THE effect II not the purpose Of the
resolution would be to give notice to
mankind OF movement in the Con-
greSs to increase the existfr0 rataa

the part Of our foreign competitors"
Reed replied the object was merely
to get information. He contended inn
ports to this country have greatly In
creased to the detriment Of the Ameri-
can workingman since Great Britain
and other countries went on the gold
standard. =

We heard the Creation" or the
"SeaSons?"
The speaker Of eulogy customary
on such occasions was yesterday
omitted and instead an entertain
ing sketch of Haydn and his work
printed on the program. This and
program notes - excellent material
treated with a not-too-heavy touch
were written by Miss Styron and
made one Of the attractive features
of the program. The opening num-
Der was a group of parts Of the
famous Nelson" or Imperial Mass"
done by that excellent organization
of excellent voices, the Covenant
Quartet, consisting Of Helen Howl
son, soprano; Richie Mclean, con.
tralto; Charles Wilfrid Smith,
tenor; j. E. s. Kincella, bass, and
George H. Wilson, director, who was
at the piano. They gave q highly
effective rendering, though having
only the piano for accompaniment,
and were heartily received Fol-
lowing this came representative
number of Haydn's keyboard works,
the familiar Sonata in D" for
piano In spite of the fact that
telis is one of the things no student
escapes, Miss Styron succeeded in
giving it a freshness and delicate
charm. Contrasts were well brought
out and the slow movement had an
effective reading.
Three of Haydn's Scotch songs
with their interesting history, came
next and Helen Howison sang them
DELIGHTFULLY."-. These were heard here
for the first time and were well
worth introducing. They have, be-
sides piano, violin and cello ac-
compartment, done respectively by
Mr.. Wilson, Mary Park Clements
and Sidney Hamer, the last named
of the National Symphony.
The concluding number, also new
here, was Haydn's Concerto" for
horn No. 2, played by Helmuth VIII
helms, also of the Symphony. AL
lowing for the great difficulty Of the
instrument, there was, nevertheless,
far too frequent faulty embouchure,
either due to nervousness or recent
illness Of the player. 1t is pleas
ant composition with really beau
ttful slow movement set between
two spirited and jolly allegros. Miss
Styron did the piano part in excel
lent style. M w. G.

sages again were brought to an un-
timely end by the loss OF the second

the full organ a fuse was blown out,
