SIX TIPS ON "LINDy'S BABY

washington police were kept
moving last night by anonymous
tipsters who reported seeing the
kidnapped Lindbergh baby in va,
rious sections of the city and
nearby Virginia and lower Mary
land.
During a brief period of time
six persons called the detective
bureau and in each instance re-
ported that the baby had been
seen in a different place. Police
checked up on the four calls
which placed the baby in Wash
ington and turned information on
the other two tips over to New
Jersey authorities.
At two places detectives found
babies that resembled the Lind
bergh baby. but we're convinced
that neither was the much-Sought
child. Mildred Meadows, 220 A
st. N. E., and Barbara Ann
Colder, 3541 Thirteenth st. N,
W., were the two children who
resembled the Lindbergh baby,
but happened to be girls.
Detectives also went to ad-
dresses on Irving Street North
west and G Street Southeast, but

BRAVERY WINS
SILVER STAR

The award of a Silver Star
citation to Ralph E. Ladue for.
merly second lieutenant, Machine
Gun Battalion, Fourth Division,
was announced at the War De-
partment today.
The distinction was conferred
on Ladue, who now lives in New
York city, for gallantry in action
in France, July 1919, 1918, dur"
ing the World War"
When, the advance of the regi-
ment, says the citation, was
temporarily halted by fire from
an enemy machine gun nest
located in a stone tower,
Lieutenant Ladue led two squads
and two guns of his company
into a position of great danger in
front of the firing line and so
directed the firing of the two
guns that the machine gun nest
was silenced, thereby permitting
the infantry platoon to take the
tower, thus facilitating the
advance of the entire firing line.

BUDGET INCREASES
ARLINGTON CHAOS.
Board Must Adopt Program
by April | to Meet Re-
quirementS of Law.
BY staf Correspondent of The Star.

BY staff Correspondent Of The Star.
ARLINGTON COUNTY COURT
HOUSE, Va, March 1s.-Arlington
County authorities now are faced with
the possibility of not being able to pre-
pare the budget for approval by the
county board by April /, as required by
law, according to County Manager Roy
S. Braden. The auditing of the books
of the former county treasurer, the pro-
posal that new bookkeeping system be
installed, the cost of which is not yet
known the problem created by the pas
sage of the Byrd road plan law, the
cost of the audit now going on, the in
terest to be paid on money borrowed to
run the county government, all have
served to leave in doubt the matter of
how much will be needed to run the
county, 1t was explained.
A tentative budget was submitted to
the board on February 6, but this now is
declared to be worthless, and the chaos
in county affairs, 1t was asserted, will
make it almost impossible to comply
with the law. The budget also is sup
posed to be submitted to the people
prior to the time of its adoption by the
county board.
While the county officials are said
not to have any figures as to the prob
able cost of installing the central &C
counting system, they are likewise
without information as to the personnel
that will be required to run 1t. and
therefore cannot make an estimate to
be included in the budget.
Further difficulty, 1t was said, is pre-
sented in the installation of the unit
system Of levying for the county's ex-
penses. This was authorized by an
act Of the last General Assembly.
Heretofore, a separate levy was made
for each county expense.
While 1t is stated that the bonding
company will make good any shortages
which may be found as a result of the
audit, it was pointed out that the pay
ment of the interest on the borrowed
funds will have to be figured in the
budget. The county will be required
to pay the cost of the audit by the
State and the salaries and expenses
of the six State employees engaged in
this work.
