YEAR IN JAIL
IS CURTIS
HOPEFOR
SAFETY
"Marked Man," Says Lawyer;
Will Plead Guilty and
Ask Mercy

TRENTON, N. j., May "A
IN.S.).-John Hughes Curtis,
the Norfolk ship builder who
hoaxed Colonel Lindbergh, will
enter a plea of "guilty" when
he is brought into court to an
swer for the amazing series OF
lies which put Colonel Lind
bergh and the police off the
right track perhaps and made
them spend futile weeks chas-
ing phantom ships manned by
phantom crews.
Jersey justice" is going to try
Curtis for "giving false informa-
ton and obstructing justice" and
Edward c. Pender, his attorney,
revealed today that rather than
go through a trial, Curtis will
throw himself upon the mercy Of
the court.
Pender hopes to deal with
Prosecutor Anthony M. Hauck. Of
Hunterdon county. He is willing
to accept a sentence of one year
in Jail for his client in return for
the guilty plea The maximum
sentence is three years.
Sees Safety In Jail
Pender said that one of the
reasons why Curtis was not ad.
verse to going to jail is that he
fears underworld vengeance. Pen
der insists that his statements
made yesterday, in which he said
that Curtis was tricked into the
confession, were true and that
throughout Curtis was, in fact,
dealing with the actual kidnapers.
Were Curtis free now, Pender
said, these men would get him.
Several hours after Pender had
made that statement yesterday,
Col. H. Norman Schwarzkopp, in
an official press bulletin, denied
that the Norfolk lawyer had eX-
pressed such sentimnets.
This morning Pender expressed
surprise at that denial and
reiterated his belief that Curtis
had in fact been in contact with
the kidnaperS, that the Lindbergh
baby is still alive, and that if
given a week and $1,500 expense
money, Curtis could turn them
up. He had never, he said, made
any denial to Colonel Schwarz-
kopf.
"A Marked Man.
Pender said:
"JOhn is a marked man now.
He is the goat of the biggest
story that ever broke. I know
that he would have given his
life in an effort to return the
Lindbergh child. I do know

GARNER PLAN
PUSHED As
AID BASIS
House Drive for Program Seen
Gathering Force; Speakers
Listed for Big Meeting

The drive for unemployment
relief legislation, including a
huge public works program,
continued unabated in the
House today despite Presi-
dent Hoover's opposition to a
bond issue.
The $2,10O,OOO.O0O program of
Speaker John N. Garner was &C
cepted as the basis Of House leg
islation, which may be enacted
while the Senate Is struggling
with tax, economy, and appropria-
ton measures.
While the Garner program was
being whipped into form, a bi-
partisan committee Of three raj.
lied friends Of jobless relief for a
congressional mass meeting to be
held Thursday night.
Hoover Studies Problem
Although unemployment relief
agitation was largely confined to
the House, Democratic Senate
leaders held informal conferences
with Administration SpokeSmen in
an effort to harmonic views on
the Democratic $4,000, ,000, 900 pro
gram.
President Hoover studied the
whole situation, hoping for a COM
promise.
Speaker Garner believes his
own program can be harmonized
with the views expressed by the
President. Garner specifically
suggested special tax to pay in
tereSt and retire the bonds so the
budget would not be affected.
Green, Others To Speak
The Congressional mass meet
ing will be addressed by President
William Green, of the American
Federation of Labor: Jett Lauck,
economist, and Fred Brenckman,
of the National Grange. It was
called by Representatives Mead
CD of New York, Kelly (R.) Of
Pennsylvania, and LaGuardia
(R) Of New York.
Kelly announced he favorS the
Garner plan but does not believe
it goes far enough.
The Garner plan was Endorsed
by Representative Connery Cd
of Massachusetts,, chairman of
the Labor Committee.

Admiral Pratt Testifies on the
Value of Base But Warns of
Dangers of Wrong Control

Declaring that Hawaii is an
American fort, Floyd Gibbons,
noted war correspondent, to-
day told the House Territories
Committee that the island
should be placed under mill
tary control.
With zone half Of the world
on fire and one-fourth of the
world in arms" an emergency
exists which should receive
the prompt attention of Con-
gress, he said.
Expressing a spirit Of friendli-
ness for the Hawaiian people who
entertained him, Gibbons told the
committee that as an American
citizen he believed Hawaii should
be treated as all other forts are
treated. He said:
"Our primary interest in Ha-
wall is not the pineapple in
duStry or the ukuIele industry
or civil Iberties-that place is
a fort.
Zone half Of the world is on
fire, one fourth of the pOpula-
tiOn Of the world is under arms
in China, and Japan is fighting
from Manchuria to the South
ern Sea-an emergency exists"
He followed Admiral William
v. Pratt, chief of naval opera
tions, and Maj. Gen. Douglas
Macarthur, chief of the army
general staff, in testifying on the
bill of Representative Britten
(R) to place Hawaii under mill
tary rule.
Pratt, Macarthur Heard
Admiral Pratt asserted that the
Army should have the right to
take over Hawaii in an emer-
gency.
General Macarthur told the
committee that the question of
Hawaii is bound up in the whole
national defense scheme, intimat-
ing that if Congress continued to
emasculate the national defense
the Army could not properly de-
fend Hawaii.
Chairman Williams CD.) of
Texas, of the committee, an
nounced hearings would end to-
day, and that Mrs. Granville
ForteScue and other principals
in the Massie attack case will
not be called.
Representative Britten said:
"The chairman feels that
this is no time to consider
legislation which will be influ-
enced by publicity owing to the
unfortunate happenings in the
Hawaiian Islands in the past
few months"

BRITISHERS GRAB
SPEED RECORDS
Great Britain Retained and
Lowered World Record i'm
Air, Land, and Water
SLOWER THAN IN u. S.

London.-Despite the English
mans reputation of being a slow
and easy-going individual, British
ers this year retained and lowered
the worlds most coveted speed rec
ords-air, land and water. Great
Britain also during the year recap
tured the worlds fastest rail rec
ord, recently held by Canada.
New records for flights between
London and Cape Town, and Lon
don and Port Darwin, Australia,
were also established, but the aver
age speeds were far slower than
were made during the year in the
United States in somewhat com
parable double transcontinental
flights.
The coveted speed records now
held by Great Britain are:
Air-407.5 miles per hour, estab-
lished by Flight-Lieut. G. H. Stain
forth, September 20, 1881, on a
Vickers supermarine ROlls-Royce
S.6.B. monoplane over a three-kilo-
meter course at Calshot, Eng.
Land-245.736 miles per hour, es-
tablished by Sir Malcolm Campbell,
February 5, 1881, in his speed car,
Blue Bird, at Daytona. Fla.
Water-11O miles per hour, estab-
lished by Kaye Don, July Q, 1881,
on Lake Garda, Italy, in his speed
boat, Miss England II.
Rail-77.25 miles per hour by the

vey of the town as to improving

sion of the sewers and a sewer dis
posal plant. The city sewage at
present goes into st. Jones river

the recommendation of DR.. Beckett
be carried out. He suggests in the

Oil From Tung Tree

For centuries the Chinese have
grown tung oil trees in a primitive
way and manufactured oil from
their fruit by the crudest methods.
Yet this oil has been the chief paint
oil of China and has become the
basis for some of their finest lac
quers, for the waterproofing of their
finest fabrics and the main vehicle
for their paints. From the SCOT of
tung oil has been made the finest
India" ink. The oil has been used
for dressing leather, for waterproof
ing silk and for oiling and calking
junks. The tung oil tree is a
beautiful ornament. 1t has large
leaves like the catalpa and a profu-
sion of white blossoms In March. 1t
grows rapidly, giving a pleasant
shade while still young. The tree
was introduced into the United
States In 1905.

Fish Packing Plant Considered

Realizing that there are thous-
ands of fish taken from lower Del
aware streams annually for which
no sales can be found, especially
herring, business men living at
Tilghman's Island, Md, are plan
ming within the next few weeks to
open a fish packing plant at Mil
ton. 1t is understood that the oys-
ter packing house of Captain Dav-
i'd Dutton, angler and fur dealer
Of the eastern section of Sussex
county, will be pressed into ser
vice. The plant will be located on
the banks of the Broadkiln River
from which large quantities of her
ring and shad are caught each
year. According to reports, plans
will be made to pack herring, trout
and other fish. They are to be
"cured" either by sailing or the
smoke method.

Candle Plays Big Part
In European Auctions

In both England and France can
dies often are used as a means OF
measuring time at auctions. Only re-
Gently a piece of land was rented
"by candle" at Aldermaston, in
the English county of Berkshire.
This plot, known as Church Acre, is
rented for the profit of the Church
of England every three years.
When the crowd of would-be rent
ers had assembled the auctioneer
lighted a short piece Of candle and
bidding began. It went on as long
as the candle remained alight, the
land being Knocked down to the
man who was the last to bid before
the candle went out.
Candles have thus been used as
clocks" at sales in England for
hundreds of years. In France a
somewhat different system is in
vogue. There it is the usual Gus
tom at important auction sales for
the auctioneer to have a number of
wax tapers, one Of which he lights
and places in full view of everyone
as soon as bid is made. AS each
new bid is made another taper is
lighted, and the sale is concluded
only when one bid remains unchal-
lenged so long that the taper repre-
senting it burns out.-New York

Short Covering and Profession
al Buying Gives Pride
Boost impetus

New York, Nov. 7.-(P)-The stock
market cast off its prediction re-
straint Monday, and rallied briskly.
Brokers reported that the chief
impetus toward higher prices APP
peared to be short-covering and pro-
fessional buying, with the general
public still adhering to the sidelines.
Prices moved up easily, however, as
they did on Friday. Stocks were sup
ported by firnneSs of wheat, but cot
ton was held back by hedge selling.
The market pushed up to more
than 4 points in the early dealings,
and while it wavered somewhat dur
ing the middle Of the day, the ad-
vance was we'll maintained. Steel
stocks were notably strong, with U.
S. Steel common and preferred get
ting up about points. Gains of
to around 4 points appeared in such
issues as Santa Fe, Union Pacific,
Allied Chemical, Air Reduction. Con-
solidated Gas, Liggett g. Myers "B,'
and Case, while issues up l to 2 in
cluded General Electric, Standard of
N. j.. Bethlehem, DUPONT, North
American and others.
After advancing in the earlier hours
OF trading, the list fluctuated uncer-
tainty Leading issues were mostly
to 4 points higher at the finish, al
though several were point or so UNI
der the days best levels. The clos
ing tone was firm. The turn over of
some 100000 shares was the largest
