S.DROPSPROBE
OF SCHENCK CASE
Agents Find Fish Dealer Not
Connected With Lindbergh
KIDNAPPING.

A Federal investigation of the arrest
by Pennsylvania authorities of Garrett
Schenck, Hopewell, N. j., fish peddler,
has disclosed nothing to connect him
with the kidnapping of Charles A. Lind
bergh, jr. 1t was announced today by
j. Edgar Hoover, director of the United
States Bureau of Investigation.
I'VE are withdrawing from the
Schenck case because our agents have
found no Federal law violated, either
by Schenck or by those he accuses of
kidnapping him." Hoover said.
The Government bureau conducted
an inquiry at the request of Johnstown,
Pa, police, who rescued Schenck from
farmhouse where he had been held
under guard by private investigator of
the Lindbergh case.
New Law Not Involved.
Francis x. Fay, agent in charge of
the Pittsburgh field Office of the bureau
and one of the Federal officers who psr-
ticipated in the early investigation of
the Lindbergh kidnapping, reported there
was no apparent basis for suspecting
Schenck of completely in the Hopewell
abduction and murder.
The new Federal kidnapping law
would not cover the alleged forcible
removal of Schenck from New JERSEY to
Pennsylvania, it was added, because
the law specifies that a demand for
ransom must be made to constitute a
Federal violation No ransom was
asked for Schenck's release, it is said.
the sole purpose ostensibly being to OBJ !.
tain confession in the Lindbergh case.
Schenck claims he was held pris-
oner in mountain cabin for rs days

COUNTY AWAITS
COLLECT|ONOF Of
FALL TAX
Less Than $4,000 on Hand;
Road Work Illegal, C. T.
Jesse, Treasurer, Declares

There are no county funds
available for the opening or
maintenance of public schools
in Arlington county.
More than $4,000 worth of
roads in Arlington county have
been constructed or repaired IL
legally, through contracts let prior
to July l, 1882.
There is less than $4,000 in
the county treasury and no funds
in sight until collection of taxes
start in November. The funds
now on hand have already been
wiped out through contracts let
by the county board of commits
sioners.
The above statements we're
made public today by Charles T.
Jesse. county treasurer.
Creditors Must Wait
There would be an ALLEGATION
of State funds sufficient to run
the schools until the November
tax collections are completed,
county school officials said today.
However, the county will be
forced to borrow money for schools
and has been forced to "Stall'' off
creditors.
Jesse declared that the con-
tracts made by the county board
for roadwork after July l of this
year were evaSive of the law and
in direct violation of a letter sent
the board by John r. Saunders,
attorney general of Virginia.
Jesse added that the county
owes more than $2,000,000 for
schools and that there is about
$1,0OO,000 owed for water system
work.
$4,000 on Hand
Since March l of this year the
county has borrowed and col
lected for general county pur-
poses and road work $4,000,
Jesse declared. The balance in
the treasury is only $4,000.
Meantime, there appears little
hope that the county will receive
from bonding companies of form
er officials now under indictment
any funds until the criminal
trials against them are completed.
Jesse claims he warned various
members of the county board of
the condition of the finances of
the county but the warnings
went unheeded.
