.FLIER is CONFIDENT
Two Underworld Leaders
Named by Colonel to Be
'G0-BetWeenS.'
BY BATES RANEY
United Press staff Correspondent

HOPEWELL, N. j., March
Hope blossomed in the
Lindbergh home today for
early return of Baby Charles
Augustus Jr., as New York
gangland Intermediates list
ened for underworld word on
the child's hideout.
Officially, the New Jersey state
police expressed belief that Baby
Charles still is alive.
The feeling was shared by the
LindberghS on this, the sixth day
since the child was seized from its
crib in the Sourland mountain
estate.
Yet, so far as officially revealed
no positive word had come as a
basis for this confidence.
Authorities Are Squabbling
The Jersey authorities-known to
be squabbling among themselves
and largely ignored by the Lind
berghs since the latter turned to
gangland for assistance-announc
their readiness to do everything
possible to help the kidnapers de-
liver the child"
1t was the biggest promise of aid
for the captors yet given.
Everything today indicated reIi-
ance was placed heavily on the
chances of success in the Lind
berghs' appointment of Salvatore
Spitale and his bodyguard, Irving
Bitz, as go-betweens who would
bring word of underworld capitula-
tion-if gangland, and not an anna
teur or demented person, did the
kidnapping.
Police to Aid Kidnapers
what are the orders to the state
police if the kidnapers, after nego-
tiating satisfactorily with Colonel
Lindbergh, attempt to bring the
baby to the Lindbergh home, Cap
tain J. j. Lamb, in charge of state
police at the Lindbergh home, was
asked by the press through the
spokesman at headquarters.
The state police will do every
thing possible to help the kidnapers
deliver the child" Lamb replied.
Spitale himself told the United
Press he was waiting for gangland
to speak through its devious chan
nels.
If the Job" of kidnapping Baby
Charles was professional" Spitale
was hopeful that the grapevine
telegraph of gangland would get
word to him now, where and when
to get the child in exchange fol
Lindbergh's promised ransom OF
$4,000.
This ransom is known to be
waiting in Newark, though the
press spokesman today denied ran
som had been asked in the kid
napers' original note, despite the
fact that the Lindbergh's had let
this be known at the outset.
All Tips Being Checked
The police interview today said
kidnapers had left no token behind
to identify any subsequent message.
While hope was sustained that
the Lindbergh contact with the
underworld would achieve return OF
the baby-unless the kidnapping was
the work of an amateur or maniac
authorities continued checking
tips as to whereabouts of the baby
or its captors.
Henry (Red) Johnson, sutton of
Miss Betty Cow, Lindbergh nurse
maid, still was held for examina-
ton at Newark, N. j., where he was
questioned Sunday after his de-
livery to New Jersey authorities by

him Friday night.

School student patrols are on du-

by Commissioner Babcock based on
the traffic count made during the
week of August first and in which
vehicular travel of all kinds is re-

Passenger travel from Canadian
provinces and other states of this
country is shown to be approx
mately rs per cent lighter than last
summer; but Minnesota residents,
according to the traffic census, are
travelling on their own highways,
either for business or for pleasure,
to an extent almost equal to other
years.
Counts were made at 1874 points,
as compared with 369 in 1881. OF
these, 292 were made at indentical-
ly the same points as last year, and
decreases shown at 232. Increases
in traffic this year were shown at
60 of the points where comparison
was possible.
The traffic at 1873 points on paved
highways averaged 1,719 vehicles
per day for the seven days of the
census. A total of 1876 counting
stations of bituminous roads gave
an average of 500 vehicles per day;
and 122 stations on gravel roads

in Minnesota passenger cars; a

buses were reported as passing SO

joint committee of the American
Automobile association, National
Safety Council, and National Con-
gress of Parents and Teachers, ex-
cepting that where the standard
rules provide for the use of flags
on long poles to enable the patrols
to stand away from the driving
portion of the street or highway
while signalling that children arc
crossing or about to cross.
AS it is not intended that school
patrols should serve to regulate
traffic, the instructions provide that
they shall gather the school chill
dren into groups and await an OPP
erIng in traffic before displaying
their warning signals; but state
law requires, the bulletin points
out, that where pedestrians are
crossing at a regular cross-walk
motorists must give way, so OBJ
servance of the patrol signal is
not merely a matter of choice for
motorists but is a definite require
ment.
A particular recommendation of
the uniform plan is that no school
patrol should be foImed or allow
ed to operate without provision
having Leen made for adult super
vision. American Legion posts
throughout the state were asked
to provide supervision for schools
where regular police supervision
was Unavailable, and are credited
with getting the patrol plan adopt
ed AID providing careful supervis-
ion a. large number of places
The State Highway Patrol is al
so lending its aid in promoting the
formation of school patrols. Com
missioner Babcock considers school
patrols of great worth both in pro-
tecting children while on their way
to and from school and in instilling
an appreciation of the need of
care at all times when upon the
streets or highways. State High
way Patrol officers salute school
patrols on duty as they pass as a
recognition of the public service
which they are performing.
Efforts are to be continued, the
bulletin states, to get the school
patrol plan generally adopted
throughout the state.

Hog Cholera

Hog Cholera is present on several
farms in Stearns county. So far all
the infested farms are located in
Sank Centre township. In view of
the fact that a large percentage of
the spring pig crop is still on
farms Of the county it is well, &C
cording to County Agent Ed. LEM
meier, for hog producers to exer-
else more than ordinary precau-
tions to, keep the infection from
their premises.
Hog Cholera is a highly contag-
ious disease which affects swine
only. The only fool-proof preventa-
tive measure to use is the double.
treatment method of vaccination.
BY this method both serum and
virus are used and the treated
hog becomes immune for a period
of one year or more.
Hog owners living near farms
where cholera exists should dis
pose Of all hogs of marketable
