CLEARS BALTIMORE BABY.

BALTIMORE, March l9 (P).-Sergt.
Leo V. Vogelsang of the Baltimore De-
tective Bureau. has reported sowing the
matter which brought two Newark de-
tectives to Baltimore Thursday looking
for clues to the Lindbergh baby
He found out, after a days investi-
CATION, he said late last night, that a
child who sailed from here on the Bal
timore Mail Line steamer City of Bal
time March 2 was Frances Quirback,
the 2-year-old daughter of butler and
a maid now employed in York, Pa.
1t was this incident which led inves-
tigators to Baltimore
Sergt. Vogelsang said today he re-
ceived a telephone message from De-
tective Strong Of Newark, furnishing
him with additional information re-
garding the Baltimore angle of the kid
mapping case and asking him to run
down all possible leads.
John Hoffman, chef of an exclusive
Baltimore club, was questioned last
night by detectives here in connection
with two couples being investigated in
the Lindbergh kidnapping case. The
detectives made it clear that Hoffman
was not questioned concerning the kid
naping, but merely concerning the
background of the couples, friends of
his for a number of years.

great trustee institutions of the United
States, which are, he pointed out, in
fact the property of the entire people.
He stated that the coordination of
rived at by the Government and the
railroad agencies to effect these results.
Presidents Statement.
The Presidents statement on the
railroad problem follows in full:
II have held a number of conferences
for survey of the railway situation and
for determination of general policies
in respect to the railroads The ele-
ments in these conferences are the
directors and heads of staff of the
Reconstruction Finance Corporation,
members of the Interstate Commerce
Commission dealing with these prob
lems and representatives of the Rail-
way Credit Corporation.
Examination of the financial prob
lem confronting the railroads shows
that it is of smaller dimensions than
has been generally believed or reported
1t is estimated that the financial neces-
stiles Of the important railways of the
country which are likely to require aid
in meeting the interest and renewal of
their maturing securities, and in meet
ing other obligations during 1882, will
be from $500, 000, 900 to $400, 000, 900. OF
this amount the Railway Credit Cor
poration will provide a minimum OF
from $50,000,000 to $50, 1000 900, and it
is assumed that many bank loans will
be continued in the normal way. There
fore, recourse to the Reconstruction
Corporation by the railroads will be
much less than was originally thought,
and even the mentioned amounts will
be diminished by revival of the bond
market and the placing of bond re-
newals in normal fashion.
To Be Handled as Whole.
THE problem is to handle the sit
uation as a whole. so as to lay the
foundations for the restored employ
ment on the railways, and through
their purchase of supplies, and at the
same time to establish confidence in
the security of the bonds which are
the reliance of great trustee institu-
tions of the United States, which are,
in fact, the property of the entire
people. The end to be attained is,
therefore, one of increased employment
on the one hand and stability in the
financial structure of the country on
the other.
THE coordination Of programs and
policies has been arrived at by the
Government and the railway agencies
to effect these results"
Parleys dealing with the administra-
ton of the Reconstruction Finance
Corporation act as it affects loans
to the railroads were held repeat
eddy yesterday at the White House.
Strict silence was observed by the par
Elephants, and at the end of the day a
formal statement was given out on be-
half of the President, to the effect he
was working for Coordination of re-
construction activities"
It was indicated then more conferences
were to follow. Eugene Meyer, chair
man of the board. and Charles G.
Dawes, president of the Reconstruction
Corporation, were the first called.

that a majority of his party would sup
port the measure as it stands, but that

the Republican regular strength.
La Guardia will seek he said, to have
the estate taxes raised to compare with

tax.
Foes Score Twice.
BY boosting all the charges on big
fortunes, his forces hope to white
down the amount which will have to
be raised By substitutes for the sales
tax If they succeed in knocking 1t out.
Bipartisan opponents Of the sales tax
scored two victories yesterday in forcing
the House to accept the Swing amend
ment imposing wartime surtax rates
on incomes of 100000 and more and
the La Guardia proposal raising the
maximum normal rates on incomes in
excess of $1,000 from to per cent.
After the Republican conference,
however, Smell said La Guardia's pro-
poSals to substitute the Treasury's orig
inal program for the sales tax lis worse
than the sales tax"
In fact, $13s;000. 900 of his plan is
o retail sales tax, and 1858 ,0e0,00 Is
for heavy excise taxes that will bring a
howl from certain industries" Smell
added
The La Guardia amendment, OPEN
ing yesterdays battle, is expected to
return an additional $4,000, 600. The
Swing amendment is estimated to pro-
duce anywhere from 500, 100000 to
$2o0, 000, coo and call for 6 40 per cent

PICTURE BOOKING
SYSTEM UPHELD
U. S. Circuit Court Of Appeals
Reverses in Effect Federal
Trade Commission.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, April 6.-The right OF
motion picture producers and distrlbu-
tors to continue the system OF 'blocK
booking" whereby exhibitors are re-
uuired to lease group OF films in order
to get a desired one, was upheld yes
terday by the Federal Circuit Court OF
Appeals.
ing this decision in effect reversed an
order of the Federal Trade Commission
calling on four defendants to cease
and desist from practices found by the
commission to constitute unfair methods
of competition in violation of the Fed
eral Trade Commission act"
The Circuit Court had been asked to
enforce the order in the case of the
Paramount Corporation, the Famous
Players-Lasky Corporation, Adolph
Zukor and Jesse L. Lasky. The matter
has been in litigation for several years.
Judge Manton ruled that available
data demonstrated that there Is free
competition among producers and dis
tributors for the distributing and mar
keting Of their pictures" and that there
is mot only lack Of monopolization but
lack of ability to achieve a monopoly"
1T is impossible to say on the evi-
dence." he continued, that the effect
of block booking as practiced by the
respondent or its accumulative effect
as practiced independently by the re-
spondent and others has unfairly af-
fected competition.
ION the other hand 1t may fairly
be said that all persons engaged in the
production of pictures have been able
successfully to distribute their product.
This indicates fair competition in the
industry"

been torn down.
Hall used gasoline and oil-soaked rags
so that the fire quickly spread through
the chapel. 1t took the Joliet Fire De-
partment and 300 convictS a half hour
to get the blaze under control.
