KANSAS CITY, Mo-, March
g (I.N.S.).-Authorities here
today received a request
from Jersey City, N. j., po-
lice for finger prints and "all
information" on Martin De.
pew, reputed brains of the
gang that kidnapped Mrs. Nell
Donnelly, Kansas City gar
ment manufacturer, in the be.
lief that Depew possibly had
a part in the Lindbergh baby
abduction.
Depew, formerly a resident OF
Pennsylvania, fled to the East fol
lowing Mrs. Donnelly's release in
December.
His wife, Mrs. Ethel Depew, was
apprehended and is being held in
the county Jail here.
Following receipt of the request
from Jersey City for information
on Depew, it became known that
County Prosecutor James r. Page
and Chief of Detectives B. H.
Thurman left town last week and
now are in the East searching for
Depew.
WEST CHESTER, Pa, March
g G.N.S0 Mystery today cloaked
activities of two Kansas City de-
tectives and an assistant district
attorney who have been endeavor-
ing to locate Martin Deputy, alias
de Pew, in connection with the
kidnapping of Mrs. Nell Donnelley,
Kansas City business woman.
Late yesterday the officers left
for the Hopewell, N. j., home Of
Col. Charles A. Lindbergh. They
were closeted with authorities
there last night.
Their movements were believed
due to a possible link between
the kidnapping Of Mrs. Donnelley,
who was held for $4,000 ran
som, and that of the Lindbergh
child. Mrs. Donnelley's release
was effected by underworld aides
and Senator James Reed. a life
long friend of her family.
Deputy has been a fugitive
since her safe return.
The fugitive had been employed
as a steam-shovel operator in
Kansas City. It was recalled that
Colonel Lindbergh had employed
steam-shovel operators on his
Hopewell estate.

HOPEWELL, N. j., March 9
I.N.S.).-The Lindberghs have
settled down to can indefinite
wait for the return of their
child, it was reported today.
Far from being confident that
the baby will be returned today.
Colonel Lindbergh and his wife
have resigned themselves to pos
sibly many more days of watch
full waiting, hoping, searching, it
was said.
While this little town buzzed
with the report fthe break is
coming now," the long-legged
flier and his grave-faced wife
refused to be over optimistic.
Something In Air
This was the word sent out
from the big house on the hill
by a friend close to the Lind
bergh family.
The feeling that something is
in the air" was strong down in
the heart of Hopewell today, so
strong that reporters, investiga-
tors, and neighbors trekked up
the frozen hillside every ten min
utes with the eager query:
HAS the baby been re-
turned?"
Grateful to Public
Far from resenting the interest
Of the public, the Lindberghs are
grateful for the kindness shown
them by everyone, a friend de-
clared.
They appreciate fully that
people are interested in seeing the
baby returned, although they

silence on all matters pertaining

Pathway Open
The heavy police force on the
Lindbergh estate at Hopewell
N. j.. was reduced and automo
biles destined for the white
house on the hill were free to
roll up the winding path without
scrutiny or interference from
State troopers.
For the past "a hours, as far
as the police know. the emissaries
Of the kidnaperS or the kidnapers
themselves may have visited and
revisited the Lindberghs in a Sc
r1eS OF conferences.
There was much mysterious
traffic to the Lindbergh doorstep
and beyond into the library,
where campaign councils have
been held far into the night and
beyond.
The curtains on the auto.
mobiles have been drawn taut
and the identity of the visitors,
for the most part, has be IN

There was at least one signifi.

Col. Henry Breckenridge, gen

At the morning press confer
ence 10 questions were submitted
to Major Charles Schoeffel, Of

while he answered eight Of them,
no new light was shed upon the
mystery.

answers:

NEW YORK, March 8 uN.SO
The Lindbergh baby kidnapping
case was charged with electricity
today.
It was reported that negotia
tions with the kidnapers were
well underway, that the deal hao
been concluded, and even-that
the stolen baby had been del1v
cred safely to his noted parents
Mr.. and Mrs. Charles Augustus
Lindbergh, u hours ago.
CurIey Source Of RumOr
The main basis Of the latter
report came from statement
issued by Mayor James M. Cur
lev, In Boston, who declined tc
reveal the source Of his informa
ton. He said:
"I have learned from an
authoritative source that the
Lindbergh baby was returned
to his parents last Sunday
night and that the police have
been cleared away in order to
give the kidnapers a 72-hOur
start"
Mayor Curley threw forth his
bombShell while being interviewed
on the report that the baby had
been left at his home.
Against this, Lieut.. Walter
Coughlin, of the New Jersey State
police, said:
"The report that the baby
has been returned has been
circulated for two days. The
FumOr was revived today. We
can get no verificatiOn Of it.''
Reported Every Place
Previous to the Curley an
nouncement, newspaper men
dashed to the home Of Mrs
Dwight w. Morrow, grandmother
of the baby, following a report
that the infant was at the Nor
row residence in Englewood, N. j
Servants insisted the child was
not there.
The homecoming of the missing
one. was reported in various
places:
He was back in the arms Of hi
mother at Englewood, N. j.
He was snugly safe at the resi-
dence Of his grandmother, Mrs
Morrow
He had arrived or was about tt
arrive at the welcoming threshold
Of his other grandmother, Mrs
Evangeline Lindbergh, in Detroit.
He was in an unknown hospital
under an anonymous name.

DISARMAMENT
WILL HINGE ON
JAPAN'S TRIAL
World Questions Bound Up
in League Hearing on
Manchurian War.
@BY WILLIAM PHILIP SIMMS
Scripps. Howard Foreign Fdgtor

WASHINGTON, Nov. 18-At the
very moment President Hoover and
President Elect Roosevelt are hitch
ing up their chairs at the White
House next week to discuss war
debts, disarmament and economics,
half way round the world from
them wheels will be in motion which
will largely make or break what
ever they decide.
Monday, at Geneva, Japan Will
go ION trial" before the League Of
Nations for the virtual annexation
of Manchuria. In reality, However,
1t will not be Japan that is on trial
so much as the league-its cove
nant, the Kellogg pact, the nine
power treaty and the world peace
machinery in its entirety.
Disarmament depends upon out
come Of this controversy. Unless
the peace machinery is strong
enough to protect China from ag-
erosion, the nations will turn to
armies and navies for their security,
rather than to paper pacts.
Sentiment in Washington adj
mittedly is almost 100 per cent
against reduction or cancellation of
war debts unless accompanied by
worldwide arms reduction and
other constructive international I'M
derstandings
Thus the leagues decisions on
Manchuria, disarmament, war debts
and the success of the coming world
economic conference are all seen as
tied together.
The league council meets in. spe-
cial session Monday to take up the
report of the Lytton commission,
sent to the Far East to investigate.
General Frank r. Mccoy was the
American representative.
The Lytton report, in effect,
charges that Japan was the agrees
sor; that while China was not en-
tirely blameless, Japan was not act
ing in self-defense when she occu-
pied Manchuria. Manchuria, there
fore, should be returned TO China.
