communicating with the New Jersey po.
lice about the case?
No
(Then came the question and answer
pertaining to examination of members
Of the Lindbergh household)
Could Have Left House.
Where were Col. and Mrs. Lindbergh
when Betty Cow (the baby's nurse) tolc
them the child was missing?
On the ground floor.
Would it have been possible for any
one to have left the house by any door
between 8 and 10 pm. (the period
during which the baby was kidnapped
on last Tuesday night without Col. and
Mrs. Lindbergh knowing it?
Yes.
Are there any new developments?
None.
Was the broken shutter on the
opened window?
Yes.
Did an automobile figure in the kid
napers' escape?
Don't know; probably.
Did Col. Lindbergh receive a postal
telegram from Minneapolis informing
him to take Salvi (Salvi Spitale and
Irving Bitz are the two underworld go
betweens appointed by Col. Lindbergh)
out of New York and deal directly with
Chicago?
Several barrels Of mail and tele-
grams have been received. Do not
know.
1t was learned today that the little
Scotch terrier which was playmate and
guard to the Lindbergh baby spent last
Tuesday evening in the kitchen and
pantry with the servants so did not
hear and raise a warning against the
kidnapers who stole into the nursery
and abducted the child.
Say Baby Is Safe.
Two letters, which the Associated
Press heard last night on authority 1t
regards as reliable had been received
from the kidnapers carried informa-
tion that the baby was safe. One was
typed, the other written. Both were
on the same kind of stationery. The
Associated Press authority said the
notes apparently came from the same
source as the original ransom note,
which, although never revealed to
newspaper men, is said to have been
left on the windowsill by the kidnapers
Hundreds of letters purporting to
nave been written by the abductors
have been received. most of them OBJ
viously false. The fact that neither
the Lindberghs nor the State police
has made public the exact contents of
the original note has tended to cast
doubt in the minds of many newspaper
men of its existence. Commissioner
Mulroony of the New York City police
said he had been promised a copy of
the note, but that he never had re-
cejved it,
The State of New Jersey, which has
extended its every resource of man
power and authority to the Lindberghs
with the single objective of returning
the child safely to his parents, made
another gesture of helpfulness last
night. 1t was the announcement by
Gov. Moore that if the Lindberghs
wished he would withdraw all police, so
that the kidnapers might negotiate di-
rectly with him without fear of con-
o. .f7ict with the law

BUDGET TOkEEP
PRESENT TAXES

Hearings begun yesterday on
the 1884 fiscal year budget for
the District of Columbia were re-
sumed today with indications they
would require three weeks.
The hearings were expected to
be attended today by the Dis
trict Commissioners, Major Dan
iel Donovan, District auditor, and
other District officials.
Approximately $4O,OOO,0OO is
being sought for District opera
tions. This figure is $7,OOO,OO0
less than estimates first submit
ted by departmental heads.
Under the new budget esti-
mates, there will be no necessity
to increase the present tax rate
of $170 per $100, it was said.
The budget figure is based on
the assumption that the Federal
contribution will equal $780,
900, although last year only ST.
775,00O was contributed, and, de-
spite the fact that Congress again
will be asked to pass the Mapes
bills. which changes the fiscal
relations between the Federal
Government and the District.

GANG RULE LAID.
At DOOR Of
PROHIBITION
American Bar Group Reports
Rapid Spread of Crime
With Organization

Several highly controversial
subjects, among them prison
labor, the responsibility of pro-
hibition for crime, and the eff
cheney of crime detection agen-
cieS, formed the topic of reports
presented today to the section
on criminal law and criminol-
ogy of the American Bar Asso-
citation at the MayflOwer Hotel.
The report on mercenary crime
laid present gangdom squarely at
the door of prohibition in the
following words:
with the advent of prohibit
ton it became apparent.
that there was a general and
widespread demand on the part
Of a large section of the Ameri-
can public for intoxicating
liquor. Few people, if any, con-
sidered that violation of the
prohibition laws involved moral
turpitude. Men Immediately en-
gagged in the business of sup
plying this demand of the
American public who would not
have lent themselves to the
violation of other laws.
'NOt only did a great section
of the American people look
with approval upon the viola
tiOn Of the law itself, but those
engaged in its violation, were,
nevertheless, considered reSpec-
table citizens. Applying Amer
ican methods Of mass prOduc-
ton. this business. =. rapidly
progressed from the individual
to the organization. With the
organization complete. the
really vicious and criminal ele-
ment in the gangs personnel
found it a perfect medium for
the violation of other laws.
1t was then that it reached
out and encOmpaSSed gambling
prostitution, kidnapping, bank
rObberies and other classes Of
crime"
Another committee intimated
that the Hawes-Cooper act regu-
lating prison labor might lead
to many problems and severe
criticisms of "antiquated" meth
ods of detecting and convincing
criminals were offered in a third
report.

BURKE PLEADS
CASE BEFORE
D, {. HEADS
Commissioners Will Decide II
Veteran Police Officer
Will Be Denoted

Inspector Frank S. w. Burke,
assistant super n tendent in
charge of the Detective Bureau,
today is expected to appear be-
fore the District Commissioners
at hearing which will deter
mine whether t h e veteran
police officer is to be permitted
to retain his position or be
denoted at the request of Brig.
Gen. Pelham D. Glassford, SUI
perintendent of police.
The Commissioners will be
forced to decide whether they will
uphold Glassford in his plans for
a wholesale police shake-up or
whether they will refuse to accept
his recommendations.
Burke was declared physically
fit by the police board of surgeons
last week, and the retiring board
refused to accept his application
for retirement.
Would Give Kelly Job
Glassford wishes to replace
Burke with Capt. Edward J. Kelly,
now in charge of the Crime Pre-
vention Bureau, following the re-
moval of Inspector o. T. Davis,
who was ordered to take over the
second inspection district by
Glassford.
Glassford will appear before
the Commissioners to request
Burke's transfer and will also ask
approval of his plan to reduce
Davis to the rank of Captain.
Commissioner Herbert F.. Crosby
has repeatedly stated that Glass
ford would have to give strong
and valid reasons for Burke's
transfer.
AS the hearings on the District
of Columbia budget are now be-
ing held, it is not known what
time the Commissioners will take
for their meeting on the police
affair but they have said that
it would be today.
Both Men Praised
Burke and Glassford both at
tended a meeting of the public
order committee of the Board If
Trade, which was held at the
Raleigh Hotel last night, but no
animosity was displayed.
Odell S. Smith, chairman, fore
stalled any discussion of the re-
cent Police Department shake-up
by saying:
1--WE deal only with principles
and not with personalities"
George w. Offutt, former presi-
dent. pointed to the records Of
the two men and said that they
were both needed by the District.
He declared:

minded me of an idea, discussed
shortly after the Wall Street crash,
for the rescue of the motor car in
dustry-they thought they had trou-

company proposed that manufac-
turers of cars should undertake a
campaign to sell cars to everyone
connected with the industry-a sort
of kindly circle of selling. Unfor-
nately, nobody knew where the money
was to come from. However, if books
