Hopewell, N. j., March 11.-(R-
Mrs. Charles A. Lindbergh was on thu
same floor as the nursery when the
kidnapping Of her baby was discovered
q week ago last Tuesday. 1t was
learned Friday. and the mother and
nurse were not Immediately alarmed
both thinking Colonel Lindbergh
must have taken the child downstairs
All previous reports have indicated
Mrs. Lindbergh was downstairs with
her husband and that Betty Cow, the
nurse, found the crib empty and
rushed down to the parents with the
announcement Of the KIDNAPPING.
But It was authoritatively deter
mined Friday that at 10 o'clock that
night Mrs. Lindbergh was In q bath
room on the second floor, where the
nursery Is situated, preparing to take
Is bath.
When Miss Cow. who had been
called to the Lindbergh estate only
that afternoon despite previous an
nouncements that she spent the
week end with the baby, found the
crib empty she went to the bathroom
and asked II Mrs. Lindbergh had the
child there with her.
Reply Is Negative
The mother said she did not have
the baby, but even then no feeling Of
CONSERVATION was experienced by the
two women, though Mrs. Lindbergt
did Immediately begin to dress.

went down to ask the father.
When Miss Cow learned the Colonel
did not have the baby. however. she
suddenly realized the seriousness OF
the situation and screamed the baby
had been stolen.
BY that time Mrs. Lindbergh was in
the nursery and Colonel Lindbergh
joined her there. After q hasty
search of house and grounds the po-
lice were notified and the hunt began
which still was in full swing Friday
without any palpable results.
Information Misleading
It has been repeatedly stated Miss
Cow did not leave the Lindbergll
house on the day of the kidnapping or
during the previous weekend. This
was literally true. but it was learned
only Friday 1t also was misleading.
Miss Cow did not leave the Lindbergh
home during that period for the very
simple reason she was not there.
The Lindberghs had been accus-

made their weekend trips to their
estate here, and they followed this
custom on this occasion. Tuesday,
however, they decided to remain here
instead OF returning to Englewood as
they had planned, because Of the
baby's cold.
And SO they telephoned to the Nor
row home and had Miss Cow come
out. She arrived late In the after

Search for Baby
Points to West

Hopewell, N. j., March 11-(F-
The underworld move to return
the kidnapped Lindbergh baby to
its parents pointed Friday toward
the west-poSsibly to Michigan.
A statement by New York coun-
sci for Salvatore Spitale, go-be-
tween named by Col. Lindbergh to
deal with kdnapers of his son,
that spitale would "leave for the
west" on q tip that looks pretty
good" was followed by a dispatch
from Detroit quoting a lawyer,
identified by the Detroit News as
Spitale's attorney, as declaring
that the baby was safe. and saying
the ransom would be higher than
the $4,000 generally mentioned
as the sum demanded by the kid
napers in note pinned to the
windowsill of the baby's room.
The New York Evening Sun said
that two classified advertisements
In a morning paper indicated the
LindberghS were in touch with the
kidnapers through that medium
and were arranging details of ran
som and return of the child.

ton Movement Is West
ward, Figures Prove
CENSUS STATISTICS GIVEN
Bureau of Census, However,
Has Not Determined N. ..
Center Of Population

Information that the federal CEN
sus bureau has not located the center
Of population for North Dakota and
probably will not do SO because Of
lack of funds was received in Bis
marck Friday by the capital defense
committee.
The committee had asked for this
information because Of a desire to
give the voters all OF the facts per-
tinent to the capital removal issue,
but the director Of the census adj
vised that lack Of funds had pre-
vented compilation of this data and
probably would make it impossible
for the computation to be made.
Other census data obtained from
the standard reports of the bureau,
however. indicate clearly that the
trend Of population still is westward.
For purposes of consideration in
connection with capital removal, the
counties nearest jamestown and
those nearest Bismarck were listed
in the light Of the count made in
1880. The figures show that Of the
q counties nearest Jamestown IA
showed an increase In population
while 8 showed decrease. In the ~
counties nearest to Bismarck, 10
showed an increase, only eight show
ed decreases while one showed no
change. The computation ignores
census returns from Stutsman and
Burleigh counties.
Both Burleigh and Stutsman coun-
ties showed increases but that for
Stutsn1an was only 81 per cent as
compared with q gain Of 26.8 per
cent for Burleigh.
The largest increases in the coun-
ties listed as nearest to jamestown
were IT'S per cent in Cass and 11.8
per cent In Mcintosh.
/ = In the counties nearest Duxleigh,
Sioux led the list with an increase Of
AS per cent. Other counties show
ing large increases were Ward II;
Mercer 1863; Hetttnger 14.2; Adams
1872; Stark 1872; Mclean 1875 and
Mountrail ia.
All told the population nearest to
jamestown is placed at 33O,697 while
that nearest to Bismarck is put at
306,l32 The total of the increases in
VIC SOuAAGACo ACdAGSL OdlIIcSIOWu WIS
69.5 per cent while the total Of the
decreases was 35.6 per cent, net
difference of 1873, per cent. In the
counties nearest Bismarck the total
of the increases was 202.8 per cent
while the decreases totaled GLIB per
cent, a net increase of al per cent.
Since the percentages in each
county applied to differing totals Of
population, and since the most heav-
lily populated counties were in the
eastern part of the state, however, It
was necessary that western counties
show larger increase If they would
hold their own in the actual count.
The significant thing is that they
more than did SO. thus confirming
the westward swing Of population.
The 1880 count for 81 counties in
the state, together with the percen-
tages Of increase or decrease shown,
