as a dope that "numbs the in
tellect" today in an appeal for
reform voiced by DR.. Thomas H.
Briggs, professor Of secondary
education Of Columbia University,
before the closing session Of the
nineteenth annual meeting Of the
Association of Military Colleges
and Schools at the Hotel Wash
ington.
The discipline Of old-time meth
DDS of pedagogy, which leads
students to study difficult sub
jects so they may feel educated,
was criticized by DR.. Briggs, who
urged that the duty of a school
is to reveal the higher things
and to create a desire for. them"
New officers were elected by
the association as follows: PreSi-
dent, Col. Andrew M. Hitch, of
Kemper Military School, Boone
vile, Mo-: vice president, Maj.
Gen. ]. A. Lejeune, superintendent
of Virginia Military Institute; and

Charges Conspiracy Exists
TO Defeat Stock Bill,
Ordered Sifted

The Senate Banking and
Currency Committee today de-
cided to investigate charges
of a bankers conspiracy to de-
feat the Glass bill, designed to
restrict banks from indulging
in stock speculation. Senator
Glass 3D. of Virginia, pre-
ferred the charges. The in
vestigation will start early
next week.
Senator Glass earlier had said
that opposition to the bill was di-
rected from New York, and threat
ened to investigate the sources Of
what he terms "an organized con-
spiracy to kill the bill" He said:
II intend to develop the
whole conspiracy, perhaps with
subpOenas. This group has
conducted a regular night
school to defeat the bill. Tele-
grams have been sent out and
witnesses arriving in Washing
ton have been called on the
phone from New York and told
to bitterly assail the bill. They
have even been told where they
could go to get instructions"
Hearings on the bill before the
Senate Banking and Currency
Committee were brought to a
close with a final warning by
bankers that enactment of the
measure would cause deflation,
increase unemployment, weaken
the banking structure, cause ma
tional banks to withdraw from

Fleischer and Abe Wagner were
reported in bulletin issued here
by Col. H. Norman SchWartzkopf,
head of the New Jersey State po-

Of the police interest in the De

"The search for FIeischer and
Wagner is being continued. Re-
ports concerning the probable
death of Wagner persist. How
ever, no definite proof of this
has been received as yet.
FIeiScher is reported to have
been seen approximately a week
ago, and this angle of the in

pushed"
The rest of the bulletin read:
"WOrd was received yeSter-
day that a child was being
kept under very suspicious
circumstances at q camp in the
Catskill Mountains behind

stances reported indicated that
the child had never been seen

but on March 2 a child ap-
parently was present although
not seen.

the Kingston station Of the
New York State police and a
joint investigation was con-

Admiral Burrage ParrieS
ReporterS' Questions
By JAMES L. KILGALLEN


NORFOLK, Va, March 81
UN.SO.-Rear Admiral Guy H.
Burrage, retired. acting as
spokesman" for the three promi-
nent Norfolk men negotiating
for the return of the kidnapped
Lindbergh baby, today answered
in an evasive manner the bar
rage of questions designed to
draw from him the latest devel-
opmentS.
His interview with 40 news
paper reporters served to accen-
tuate the mystery shrouding the
Norfolk stage Of the drama.
Parries Question
Such questions as: "Is the
Lindbergh baby well?" What
assurance have the supposed
kidnapers given that they are
taking care of the baby" he
answered by saying:
1--WE cannot answer"
Admiral Burrage said that
neither he nor his colleagues,
the Very Rev. H. Dobson-Peacock
and John Hughes Curtis, local
Shipbuilder, had seen the kid
naperS or their representatives
in the last "a hours.
He declined to reveal what
new moves, if any, are being
made.
Admiral Burrage was asked if
1t was not a fact that Curtis,
who established the original con-
tact with the supposed kidnaperS,
had not in the last day or two
been in communication in person,
by telephone, by radio, or in
some other manner with a. re.
Sponsible lieutenant of the leader
of the kidnapers. His crytic
reply was:
Nothing can be accom-.
plished without contact with
the kidnaperS."
Asked if it were not true that
the delay in bringing the nego-
tiations to a quick conclusion
was due to the wariness of the
kidnapers or the go-between on
possible charges of conspiracy,
. the admiral replied:
Common sense will an.
Swer-yeS."
He said he could not answer
the question of whether or not a
woman or perhaps two women
are taking part in establishing
the resumption Of contact with
the kidnapers.
Vital Answers, No
At Admiral Burrage's request
the questions today were sub
mitted to him in writing.
Before answering them he had
a conference with the Rev. DR..
Dobson-Peacock and Curtis.
Admiral Burrage punched some
of the questions and answered
them in a block.
Questions one, two, four, and
five were answered in block.
These questions were:
1-HaVe you, Dean DobSon-
Peacock, or Mr.. Curtis, seen any
representatives of the kidnapers
since yesterday?
2.-Has any arrangement been
made for a new contact or is
any such arrangement in pros
pect?
4.-Is any new move planned?
SIS it true that the go-be-
tween for the supposed kidnapers
has failed to keep recent ap-
pOintmentS?
Burrage replied:
The answer to all four ques-
tiOnS iS-NO."
