CHINA GR|EVES
FOR L|NDBERGH.

SHANGHAI, May 10 GN.s0
Leaders of American, British and
Chinese circles here joined today
In expressing sorrow and horror
over the death of the Lindbergh
baby.
The sympathy of the Chinese
people was expressed in the fol
lowing statement by a foreign Of
Eice spokesman:
81 do not wish to be quoted
as giving an official message of
sympathy, since the Marking
government probably will in
struct the Washington charge
d'affaireS to convey the nations
sorrow to Colonel Lindbergh,
who proved himself China's
friend last summer when he
surveyed otherwise inaccessible
flood districts in his airpIane.
"ThiS CHASTITY crime comes as
o great shock and almost
personal loss to those who met
Colonel and Mrs. Lindbergh
here"

RANSOM CRIME
DUPED 'JAFS|E'

NEW YORK, May 10 G.N.S0.
Inhuman as the unutterably shock
ing kidnap-murder of the Lind
bergh baby is, it appeared today
that perhaps the worlds most
heartleSs crime was perpetrated
on the grief-bowed parents by the
men who extorted $4,000 hoax
ransom from DR.. John F. Condor,
New York University lecturer.
For if they were the real kid
naperS, they were also the muir
derers of the child, and were
trafficking in the body of the
dead, with full knowledge of their
savage deed.
Furnished q Token
DR.. Condor believed they were
the authentic abductors. So did
Col. Charles A. Lindbergh. What
led them to this faith was never
fully told.
The men knew the secret code
given in the ransom note kept
inviolate from the public until
today. They also furnished a
token" never described, but con-
vincing to Lindbergh and Jafsie.
If, as was reported, the "token"
was the sleeping suit the baby
wore when it was stolen, there
is strengthened suspicion those
who obtained the ransom money
were the criminals who kidnapped
the child. slew it and then
callously wrung gold from the
hope-filled, duped hearts of the
parents.
Sleeping Suit Gone
The sleeping suit was missing
when the body of the baby was
found murdered in the woods.
It was clad only in an under
shirt and a flannel shirt with
a curiously embroidered scallop
recognized as the garment the
baby wore when it was stolen.

TRAGEDY CALLS
GREAT AUNT

CLEVELAND, May 10 G.N.S0.
Miss Anne Spencer Cutter, great
aunt of the Lindbergh baby, was
speeding East today to join her
mother, Mrs. Charles Long Cut
ter, 87-year-old great grandmother
of the child, at Englewood, N. j.
Greatly shocked over the
tragedy, Miss Cutter left for the
home of her sister, Mrs. Dwight
Morrow, a few hours after receiv-
mig the news of the discovery OF
the dead body of the baby.
Because of her advanced age,
reports of the kidnapping of
Charles Augustus Lindbergh, jr.,
had been withheld here from the
great grandmother.
It was feared the shock OF the
tragedy might have serious af'
fects. Newspapers were kept from
her and all visitors at the home
were cautioned to refrain from
mentioning the kidnapping.

MEXICO VOICES
GRIEF To L|NDY

MEXICO CITY, May 10 GIN.
s. Mexico City, scene of the
first meeting Of Col. Charles A.
Lindbergh and Anne Morrow, was
deeply moved today over the
death of their son.
Friends of the Lindberghs and
the Morrows, made during the
late Dwight Morrow's term as
ambassador to Mexico and during
the frequent visits of the Lind
berghs, were grief-stricken.
President Pascual Ortiz Rubio
said:
81 am terribly shocked at the
cruel assassination of Colonel
Lindbergh'S son and send the
sincere condolences of my wife
and myself.
Mexico feels a great affec-
ton to Colonel Lindbergh, and
we cannot forget that AmbaSSa-
dor Morrow initiated a new era
of cordial relations between the
two countries"

LindberghS the condolences of
himself and his wife, as did Plu.

BALT|MORE HIT
HARD BY LACK
Of JOBS
Washington Is Less Seriously
Affected on Account of
Government Stability

Washington has been much
less seriously hit by unem-
ployment than have most
cities of it's size.
In Baltimore, for example,
figures compiled by the Amer
lean Federation of Labor show
that 90 per cent of all union
members there are unemployed
at present, the percentage
rising as high as 81 in the
building trades.
In April, 1890, the percentage
of unemployment for all trades
there was 10; for the building
trades, 20. Washington has had
practically no change in unem-
ployment among union men,
except in the building trades,
since April, 1880.
Slight Increase Here
Statistics gathered by the
Bureau Of Labor Statistics show
declining employment both in
Maryland and Virginia in recent
months, as against a slight in
crease here, these figures cover
ing about 40 per cent of the
industrial establishments in the
various localities.
Comparison of Maryland and
Virginia figures, and figures for
the nation as a whole, with Wash
ington, reveals the following
facts:
l. Unemployment is much
less serious here than in most
cities, except in the building
trades.
2. The Federal payroll has
been cut by only 1888 persons
during q year Of declining bust
ness, and the number of perma-
nent employees has increased.
3. There has been a slight in.
crease Of employment in pri-
vate business establishments
generally, except manufacturing
plants, and wage scales have
not been greatly affected.
4. Union men i'm the building
trades are more than so per
cent unemployed; but in other
trades unemployment is not
severe. Ten per cent of union
men, however, are on half-time
work.
Due to Stability
These uncommonly favorable
conditions are due to the tradi-
tional stability of the government.
tai structures, which has enabled
Federal employees to pour streams
Of relief funds into their native
States to aid members of their
families who are in distress.
Present tinkering with Federal
pay rolls, however, is almost GER
tain to affect business here ad-
verSely, and to shut off the relief
sent from Washington to other
communities.

BERLIN POLICE
SUGGEST CLUE

BERLIN, May 10 Q.N.S)-
Important clues" in the murder
of the Lindbergh baby can be de-
rived by ascertaining just how
long the body lay in the spot it
was found, Hans Scholz, Berlin
police commissioner, declared to-
day. He said:
"The American police cannot
be criticized for failing to find
the body. We have also eXpe-
rienced cases where bodies have
been found with the aid of pO-

BECOMES
TALKING STAR
THE HIT OF "STRICTlY DIS
HONORABLE", NEW AND
SMART COMEDY

! Paul Lukas is n foreign actol
who was not shunted into obscurit,
by the advent of the talking pict
ure. And this in spite of the fac
that three years ago he could only
| speak one word Of English-ant
that was steak.
Lukas' last appearance before
stardom claims him is in a featur
ed role of Strictly Dishonorable"
Universal's sophisticated comedy
which will play the Liberty theatre
Sunday, Monday and Tuesday.
Indeed, talking pictures have
brought him the greatest success in
his career, and have been the
means of elevating him to the stat
us of an independent star. The
handicap of language was not suffi
cient to do more than effect q
temporary halt in a swift upward
rise which began in the a of the
silent pictures.
No role that Lukas has ever had,
however. has done SO much for him
as the role of Court Gus in "Strict-
ly Dishonorable". 1t is by general
consent the prize role of the year.
The Paramount Company tried to
buy Strictly Dishonorable" for
Paul Lukas' use, and when Univer-
sal wouldn't give it up, a compro-
mise was effected whereby Uni
versal borrowed Lukas to play the
role in its production of Strictly
Dishonorable'' in association with
Sidney Fox as the southern girl
and Lewis Stone as the judge. Ev-
eryone is satisfied that the role
of Count Gus couldn't be in better
hands. Immediately after the as
signment of the role. Paramount
