New York state legislature, and
brought himself into prominence at
once by opposing Tammany can
didate for the U. S. Senate, and
favoring a candidate of the J. P.
Morgan interests. He thus gained
liberal votes by seeming to attack
Tammany hall but only in order
to support the more influential
candidate of larger capitalists. And
Immediately he dickered with the
Tiger, as will be shown in later
article, and so stood to- gain from
all that Tammany graft and cor
ruption could give him.

in 1912, he was rewarded with the
position of Assistant Secretary of
the Navy during a special period
of American imperialist expansion,
when the United States took adj
vantage Of the World War to seize
Haiti and Santo Domingo. Roose-
velt's part in this war against the
Negro people of Haiti is a tale in
itself to be told in the story Of
Roosevelt as imperialist.

NEW YORK, March 2 G.N.S.J
New York's mighty police force
today turned out almost to a man
to find the first baby of the land
Charles Augustus Lindbergh.
Hordes of detectives descended
on ferries, tunnels and bridges
from New Jersey to watch for
sign of the missing million-dollar
baby.
Cities and towns throughout
New York and Connecticut we're
asked to keep a lookout for a
speeding automobile containing a
drowsy and probably crying child.
Police Commissioner Edward P.
Mulrooney ordered his secret
service" squad to delve into under
world haunts for a possible tip on
the kidnapping plot.
Col. Henry C. Breckenridge, at
torney and friend of Colonel
Lindbergh, left for the home of
the famous aviator.
Major P. v, Burwell, operations
officer of the Long Island Avia-
ton County Club, of which Col
onel Lindbergh is a member,
said all the pilots in the vicinity
were available for the kidnapping
hunt. He said:
"But if the kidnapers got
more than half hours start
over the country and knew the
back roads, it would be diff
ficult to find them"

Col. and Mrs. Charles A.

In addition, Mrs. Lindbergh's
mother, widow of the late

be close to $19,000,000.
While the Lindbergh baby

A friend of Mr.. and Mrs.
Lindbergh who observed the
baby in the kindergarten of his
aunt, Miss Elizabeth Morrow,
said of him today:
"The baby is just learning to
talk. He is an unusually sturdy
yOungster and seemed exception

well into the tOddling stage and
as tall as the average baby of

HOPEWELL, N. j., March 2
QN.S0.-Kidnapers of Charles
Augustus Lindbergh, jr., pene-
trated one of the most isolated
wooded estates, specially chosen
to safeguard the baby.
Colonel Lindbergh and his wife
selected the 360-acre estate on top
of Sourland Hill for their new
$4,000 home because of the very
inaccessability that apparently
gave the abductors their chance
to steal the baby.
Access to the estate is through
only one narrow, twisting road
of dirt and gravel, which runs
three quarters of a mile from
the main highway.
George R. Murray, Princeton,
N. j., real estate dealer, pointed
out today how strangers easily
could be lost in the grounds.
An airplane landing field, used
for Lindbergh'S private planes, is
a quarter of a mile from the
residence, which is almost COM
pletely hidden by trees. The only
neighbors are distant farmers.

BY COMMITTEE
Highway Funds Bear Heavy
Part of Cuts Proposed
by House Group.

By United Press
WASHINGTON, Dec. 22-slash-
ing highway funds and official &C
tivities right and left, the house APP
preparations committee today re-
ported a bill reducing department
of agriculture expenditures nearly
two-thirCis.
The committee recommended the
department be given S110,981, 1913
for the fiscal year beginning July l.
This is S206,902,04 less than cur
rent appropriations.
A large part of the reduction was
due to elimination of special APP
preparations developing from last
sessions emergency relief legisla-
ton.
But, disregarding these items, the
committee was able to show a net
reduction OF $7O927 1853 under cur
rent appropriations, and 1888, TIC
under the amount asked by Presi-
dent Herbert Hoover.
The committee cut deeply into
funds for nearly every agency, with
the highway division bearing the
brunt of the economizing.
Regular annual appropriations for
the federal-aid highway system
were cut to S35 100000, an amount
$4,814,387 less than recommended by
the budget and $65, 900, 900 less than
the $100,000000 current appropria-
