Jury Measure.

Two measures resulting from the

considered by the House Judiciary Com
mittee in executive session Thursday.
1t reached that decision today after
hearing Seth Richardson, Assistant At
torney General, who has made a per-
sonal survey of conditions in Hawaii.
One of the measures, by Representa-
tive Crisp democrat, Georgia., would
give congressional pardon to all four
defendants convicted of manslaughter
in the death of Joseph Kahahawai The
other, approved yesterday by the Sem
ate, would prevent persons in Hawaii
from being freed in criminal cases If
two juries were unable to agree.
Committee members indicated after
ward would favor the Senate bill. On
the Crisp resolution, sentiment was
evident that it would establish a prece-
dent promising congressional pardons
for all persons convicted Of slay1ngs
under the unwritten law, and there
fore should be rejected
Reports that the administration had
instructed its representatives in Homo

HERR|OT'S VICTORY
IS HAILED ABROAD
More Likely to Cooperate
With Other Nations at
Lausanne ParIey.
BY CONSTANTINE BROWN.

The electoral success Of the French
radical Socialist party and the result
ing probability that Edouard Herriot
will become the premier of France
within the next few weeks has brought
ray of sunshine in the overcast inter-
national horizon.
! Herriot as premier undoubtedly would
adhere strictly to the fundamental prin-
ciple of Frances international policies.
But, it is said in certain quarters in
| Washington, Mr.. Herriot is much
more tractable statesman than Mr..
Laval or Mr.. Tardieu. Consequently,
while the latter two almost always
showed "take-it-or-leave-it" spirit in
international negotiations, Mr.. Herriot,
II judged by the past, is willing to ne
gotiate and go as far as his majority in
the chamber will permit him in mat
ters of international importance.
Look to Lausanne.
1t is especially those who are inter-
ested in the Lausanne Reparations Con-
ference of June 16 who are rejoicing at
the idea that they will have to deal with
Herriot instead Of Tardieu.
The Lausanne conference Is consid-
cred in diplomatic and high financial
circles as much more important than
the Geneva Limitation of Arms Confer
ence. In fact, in diplomatic quarters it
is believed the Disarmament Confer
ence has serious chances of success only
If the Lausanne parleys can end with
an agreement between the French, the
British, the ermans and the Italians.
If Mr.. Herriot is Frances spokesman
at Lausanne, the possibilities of an
agreement are more likely than If any
other French politician was at the head
of the government.
Mr.. Herriot achieved international
fame by two acts when he came into
office for the first time in 1924. He
accepted the Dawes plan and ordered
tn evacuation of the Ruhr. He Is
known to be ardently In favor Of peace
and is in sympathy with the world dis
armament idea, as much as the late
Aristide BRAND, although, like the
great majority of the French people, he
wants security for France first" He
does not base his claim on any imperial
istic ideas, as some of the members OF
the French parties of the Right.
Demand Based on Fear.
His demand for security is based ex-
clusively on the fear OF what Germany,
with her 60,000,000, might be able TO
do If France disarmed without any def
mite guarantee that she will no longer
be subject to foreign invasion. His
thought was clearly expressed when he
met the then German Chancellor, Hans
Luther, for the first time at Paris in
May, 1924. Luther suggested closer
and friendlier cooperation between the
two countries, to which Herriot replied:
That is all very well, but we want
some definite guarantee from you. We
arc afraid of you and you ought to real
ize this"
All the same, Herriot showed his spirit
of international cooperation in London
in June, 1924, when he agreed to the
Dawes plan and to the withdrawal OF
the French troops from the Ruhr.
Herriot is expected to show the same
spirit of international cooperation at
the coming Lausanne conference. No
body wants him to abandon Frances

UNDERWORLD HELPS.
Capone Henchmen Said to Be Seeking
Baby.

BABY.
HOPEWELL, N. j., May 8 CP).-
Col. Charles A Lindbergh was believed
absent from his hilltop home today
coincident with word from a high off,
cial that a new underworld unit had
thrown its strength into the search
for his stolen son.
The colonels personal efforts, how
ever were considered entirely separate
from the new aid, which was described
as the outgrowth of the offers made by
Al Capone from his Chicago Jail cell
Capone, who yesterday lost his legal
fight to escape serving a tax-evasion
sentence, proposed several times that
he be released temporarily to hunt the
Lindbergh baby.
After original offers went rejected,
the official related, agents Of Capone
suggested that all Of his followers en-
gage in concerted move to recover
the child This has been done, he said,
on the single condition that in the
event of success Acknowledgement would
be made that it had been achi wed
through Capone channels.
Meanwhile, Col. Lindbergh was be-
lieved to have left here and was rep
resented to have kept his mission a
secret, even from Col. H. Norman
Schwarzkopf, police head, who has
been in charge Of the official investiga-
ton since the baby was kidnapped
March /.
Some thought Col Lindbergh had
made at least one personal contact
with the kidnapers. Where he had met
them was not disclosed, although he
was reported to have planned original
ly to meet them of the Virginia coast.
In connection with this development,
there was a fresh version OF the case
coming from a person close to the
family. This report said three men
stole the child and hurried with him
to the Delaware River, where they
placed him aboard boat.
They took him then to Marthas Vine
yard, in Massachusetts,, and two of the
trio came ashore to attempt to collect
the $50,000 ransom demanded in the
note left in the baby's nursery The
the child
The two negotiators effected a con-
tact through DR.. John F. Condor, the
"Jafsie" who inserted numerous mys-
teriously worded advertisements in a
Bronx newspaper. They were paid
$4,000 by Col. Lindbergh through Dr..
Condor.
The man on the boat failed to hear
from them and became suspicious. He
then made an independent effort to
contact Col Lindbergh with a demand
for money for himself.
The story was that Col. Lindbergh
now was conducting his negotiations
with this man and had agreed to the
additional payment, on condition that
the man would establish satisfactorily
that the child was in his possession.
Col. SchwarZkopf's pm. bulletin dis
closed that State Police had received no
report from Norfolk, Va, police regard
ing three men held there supposedly in
connection with the kidnapping. He
said, however, that unofficial informa-
tion indicated the trio had nothing to
do with the case.
He also said no significance was at
tached to the reduction in the number
Of State Police stationed at the Lind
bergh estate.
