TRIAL To BEGIN

CONTINUED from Page y
tions, but withdrew from the
case to avoid complications.
A brilliant exchange of legal
fireworks was anticipated when
Darrow clashes with Special
Prosecutor John C. Kelley. Aid
ing Darrow are Montgomery
Winn, L. H. C. Johnson, and
George S. Leisure. Kelley's as
sistant is Barry Ullrich.
Conjecture as to the fate of
the four defendants is the all
absorbing topic in Honolulu.
No Lives at Stake
If Kahahawai was the ring
leader of the native rowdies who
criminally attacked young Mrs.
Massie and beat her into a condi-
ton of helplessness, ten, it is
argued in various quarters, his
extinction at the hands of her
mother and husband might be
termed justifiable homicide.
If, on the other hand, the jury
is convinced of Kahahawai's inno-
cence of any part in the crime, a
verdict of guilty against one or
more of the defendants becomes
c distinct likelihood.

Lindbergh BATTLES Press By Making
Mystery Trip in His Own Automobile

onel Lindbergh had been one of
four men who landed an amphi-
bian plane at Cuttyhunk Island,
Mass, yesterday and who were
assumed by inhabitants to be con-
rected with negotiations for the
return of the baby.
Officials, however, denied such
reports.
With Lindbergh in the car was
another man, generally believed
to have been either Col. Henry
Breckenridge, his legal adviser,
or John Fogarty, a private detec-
tive.
Lindy's First Absence
1t was the first time Lindbergh
is known to have left his home
since the child was stolen, ex-
cept once, shortly after that hap
pened. when he motorec away
with State troopers and returned
few hours later.
Rumors Lindbergh had gone on
a secret journey were current all
yesterday. Lieut.. Walter Cough
lin, official spokesman for the
State police here, was asked
about them a few moments be-
fore Lindbergh was seen to re-
turn. He declared:

Rear Admiral Guy H. Burrage'
one of the three Norfolk men en-
gagged in efforts to recover the
kidnapped Lindbergh baby, re-
turned here today after mys-
terious absence of "a hours.
The admiral would answer no
questions as to his movements
since yesterday. when he dlsap-
peared, nor would he comment
upon the continued absence OF
the chief of the three negotiatorS,
John Hughes curtis, shipbuilder.
Curtis left here early Saturday
morning, and that night Burrage
revealed he was away on a mis-
sion in connection with the nego-
tiations.

Rev. Dobson-Peacock had ad-

meet them for a conference at

assembled and waiting, the
Admiral walked in.
Burrage would not answer any
questions, and remained but a
few minutes with the newspaper

to him this morning, and when
told everyone believed him away,
smiled and walked away. He
said he would return for another
conference at p. m, however.
Developments of the greatest
importance are impending here, it
is believed.
This was the prediction of the
Very Rev. H. Dobson-Peacock,
rector of Christ's Episcopal Church
and one of the negotiators. early
today. The Rev. DR.. Peacock
came downstairs in pajamaS and
a dressing robe to grant Interna-
tional News Service an exclusive
interview.
The Rev. Peacock indicated that
Curtis and Burrage were together
during their absence.
Both Curtises Gone
A nurse, Alice, is running the
Curtis household, consisting just
now of the two children, John, 7,
and Constance, II. Their mother
has been enlisted in the negotia-
tions and is out of the city. She
was sent out by her husband to
act as communications medium
between the negotiators, the Lind
berghs, and the purported kidnap-
ers' agents.
Reports we're current that she
has been stationed in Portsmouth,
nearby, but no confirmation of
these was available.

The answer came:
"NO, we are the press. Is
there anything new?"
"Thank you"
And Lindbergh continued to
his home.
The colonel wore a tan cap

TAXI RIDER HELD
FOR ASSAULT

An argument over a SOC taxi
cab bill today ended in the ar
rest of Roland Steele, of the La
Sale Apartments, by Montgom-
cry county police who charged
him with disorderly conduct,
and assault and battery.
According to police the trouble
started when Steele telephoned
for a taxicab, which was driven
by Gilbert B. Garner, of Hyatts
vile, who took him from Meadow
Lane in Chevy Chase, Md, to
Chevy Chase Circle.
Garner said he had to wait
for Steele before taking him to
the circle and that his passenger
objected to paying the soc fare
for the trip and instead picked
fight with him. The case is

The men, using well-guarded
language, made inquiries regard

islands in the vicinity.

has been the scene of many
clashes between rum runners and

While here the visitors went to
a dining parlor owned by Mr.. and
Mrs. Walter Allen. They remained
apart from all except those who
served them. After they left,
neither Mr.. or Mrs. Allen would
comment, although they admitted
they had been asked not to talk.
After looking about the island
for some time, the men returned
to their "ship." They asked Capt.
j. Francis Paul, of the Cuttyhunk
Coast Guard station, to tow their
plane outside the bay. Because of
the restricted spot in which they
had landed, it was impossible to
take off in the small span of

FUND SOUGHT

A campaign to raise $4,000 to

The drive, which will continue
two weeks is under the direction
of Robert V. Fleming, chairman,

SENATE SENDS
TAX BILL To
COMMITTEE
House Measure Goes to Smoot
Group Without Debate;
Hearings Wednesday

The battle over balancing
the budget reached the Sen
ate today when that body re-
ceived the new billion-dollar
tax bill from the House.
The measure was preferred i'm
mediately to the Senate Finance
Committee.
Senator Smoot CRO, of Utah,
chairman. announced hearings
would begin Wednesday. There
was no debate over this parliament
tary maneuver.
The House measure levies
nearly $500, 100000 upon 26 indus
tries or businesses, many of which
will send representatives before
the Finance Committee to COM
plain of discrimination.
Mills Voice Heard
Even though the manufacturers
sales tax, as first proposed by the
House is not revived in the SEN
ate, the Finance Committee will
consider lowering of the sales tax
rates upon selected industries and
the inclusion of many more to
obtain the needed revenue.
The statement of Secretary of
the Treasury Mills that the ST.
032,00O,000 House bill does not
balance the budget unless Con-
gress Effects economies totaling
5000, 100000 also may bring about
revision of the measure in the
Senate.
Big Saving Doubted
House leaders maintin that
Congress and the Administration
can bring about the needed econ
omy, while Mills and Senator
Jones (R0 of Washington, chair
man of the Appropriations Com
mittee. both said the House esti-
mates are too high.
While the Senate has returned
appropriation bills to committee
with instructions to slash them
10 per cent, which would make
possible the 5000, 100000 savings,
Jones said it is doubtful whether
expenses can be cut over $780,
100000.

Charles Deeds, of the airport
company, said the plane had been
turned over to the Sikorsky inter.
ests more than a week ago." and
so far as he knew was still in their
hands.
Sikorsky officials in Bridgeport,
however, insisted the ship had
been returned to the United Air
port at least three weeks ago fol

which were made for members of
the DUPONT family in Wilmington.

the weekend"
Despite this denial, reports per
sisted that Mrs. Lindbergh and
her mother, Mrs. Dwight w. Nor
row, went to some undisclosed
destination by motor yesterday.
Police MuZzle News
Police also refused to affirm
or deny rumors that Betty Cow,
Lindebrgh nurse; Ollie Wheatley,
butler in the household; and his
wife, the housekeeper, went for
an automobile ride in a car con-
tanning at least one other man.
H. Norman Schwarzkopf, asked
about all these matters, said in
his statement:
"NO questions will be
answered having to do with the
whereabouts of the Lindbergh
family"
The plane which landed at the
Massachusetts, Island, which is
near Martha's Vineyard, aroused
comment when three of its occu-
pants came ashore while the
pilot remained at the controls of
the amphibian which settled on
the water.
Colonel, Doctor
One Of the men, younger than
the other, was said by residents
to have been addressed as
Colonel" and one as Doctor"
The trio asked about a yacht
having two men and two women
aboard. Inhabitants had not
seen a boat such as they de-
Scribed.

rumors that John H. Curtis, Nor

GARNER RULES
PHILIPPINE
BILL VOTE
Suspension of Regular Order
To Allow Ballot Demanding
TWo-Thirds for Success

With a smash of his gavel,
Speaker Garner decreed today
the House shall vote on the
question of granting indepen-
dence to the Philippine IS
lands. The measure will be
brought to a vote under sus-
pension of rules, which re-
quires a two-thirds vote for
passage, allows but 40 minutes
debate and prohibits amend
ment.
The decision to suspend the
rules was made after Representa-
tives Bacon (R0, of New York,
and Wigglesworth (R0, of Mas
sachuSettS, objected to conSidera-
ton of the bill under the general
rules of the House.
Hare in Charge
Representative Hare CD, of
South Carolina, in charge of the
bill, said that II passage falls un-
der the two-thirds rule, the indie
pendence fight probably will be
dropped for this session.
Representative Hare said:
"The bill as recommended
almost unanimously by our COM
mittee meets the cor 'itiOns laid
down by all friends of indie
pendence. It carries out an OBJ
legation and a promise of this
government. 1t is satisfactory
to represents :ivc of the Philip
pine independence Commission"
The measure carries provisions
limiting immigration to minimum
annual quotas of so during the
probationary period and limits i'm.
ports to approximately the pres

to this country.
The latter provision is unsatis-
