Cops Start Over Auain

~ UHlted Press
TRENTON, N. j., June 13.-
The collapse of numerous clews
growing out of the suicide of a
dining room waitress in the home
of Mrs. Dwight w. Morrow re-
tarded the Lindbergh kidnapping in
quiry today.
While the body of Miss Violet
Sharpe awaited funeral arrange
ments at a morgue in Englewood,
police here prepared to start all
over again in their attempt to find
the kidnaperS and killers of Charles
Augustus Lindbergh Jr.
Although Colonel H. Norman
Schwarzkopf, head of the state
constabulary, declared on Friday
that Miss Sharpe's suicide tended
to confirm the suspicion that she
had guilty knowledge" of the
Lindbergh case, he admitted today
that the case against her and
Ernest Brinkert had collapsed.
Brinkert was believed to have
been with Miss Sharpe at a road
house on the night of the kidnap-
ing, March /, but police later
learned that her companion was
one Ernest Miller of CloSter, N. j.
Miller was cleared of all suspicion.

CHICAGO, June 13.-The cam
paign for silver Stabilization plank
in the Republican platform was
opened here today when represent
atives of dozen states, mostly
western, agreed upon a plank for
submission to the resolutions COM
mission.
The draft resolution urges inter-
national consideration to restore
silver as primary money to
strengthen and stabilize the gold
standard, and takes a strong posi-
ton against fiat artificial money"
States represented by national
committeeman, delegates and silver
interests, were Arizona, California,
Utah, Idaho, Colorado, North Da-
kota, Rhode Island, Montana,
Wyoming, New York, New Mexico
and Virginia.
The resolution emphasized the
necessity of maintaining the gold
standard, but said the present re-
serve of monetary gold, and future
prospects afford no reasonable ex-
pectation that gold will continue to
serve unaided as a sufficient and
satisfactory money and credit
base."
The present commodity price
level, it continued, has reached a
point where productive industry is
becoming improbable and the
payment of taxes and other debts
is becoming impossible"
More than one billion people,
half of the worlds population, have

Tidal Wave of Protest Is
Rising Which May EnguIf
ReSubmiSsion Plan.
BYLEO r. SACK
Times STAFF Writer

CHICAGO, June 13.-The rising
tide of discomfort over the admin
istration'S proposed prohibition plat
form threatens today to develop into
tidal wave of angry protest which
may engulf carefully laid White
House plans to satisfy everybody.
The eve of the Republican ma
tional convention finds President
Hoover's hope that a dry law fight
would be avoided is certain to be
disregarded dramatically.
The "resubmission" idea of evad-
ing a direct declaration for repeal,
developed in conferences in Wash
ington last week between Repub-
lican "best minds" is unsatisfac-
tory to militant wet delegates, and
they are saying so.
Equally dissatisfied are bitter END
drys who are alleging that President
Hoover has double crossed them by
disregarding a promise, made just a
few weeks ago, that he would con-
tinue dry.
Both groups are protesting the
vets because the administration
plan does not go far enough, and
the drys because it goes too far.
Warnings Are Issued
Between them are those Repub-
lican politicians who seek a COM
promise ano whose views are GER
tain to prevail within the admin
istration dominated resolutions
committee, which will recommend
the prohibition platform.
Warnings of the allied prohibition
organizations are not concerning
Postmaster General Walter Brown.
the Presidents political field mar
shal, and his lieutenants, nearly as
much as the threats of the wet dele
gates.
Brown and his associates feel that
Republican drys will be mollified
and will stay within the party.
But the wet voters may go DEM
ocratic next November, particularly
If the Democratic convention shows
more courage in facing the prohibi-
ton issue.
State delegations are caucusing
today, adopting resolutions urging
repeal Of prohibition. Many are
demanding straight forward,
clear and concise pledge for re-
peal.
Advises Against "Straddle."
Nicholas Murray Butler, Colum-
bia university president, long a
Republican elder statesman; Sena-
tor Bingham of Connecticut, Boss
Ware of Philadelphia, by telephone
from his sick bed in Atlantic City,
Pierre Du Pont and others are
leading the repeal fight.
If the convention adopts a
declaration which is a straddle or
which is hypocritical or which is
meaningless, they must take the
consequences in November" But
Ter warns.
Butler claims the support Of $40
delegates from twenty-one states.

CEMETERY FOR SALE
Modern Graveyard Put On
Auction for Taxes.

One hundred forty-eight acres of
one of Indiana'S most modern GEM
eteries was high upon the auction
block today as county officials
sought to clear their tax books of
delinquencieS.
The cemetery, owned by the
Mount Moriah Cemetery Associa-
ton, is located on Kessler boulevard,
north of the city, and at the time
of its origination, was advertised
throughout the state as one of the
best graveyards of the period.
Today, though, the stock adver-
tiSing meant nothing as Fay
Wright, chief deputy treasurer, again
sought to sell the real estate.
During the recent tax sale, county
officials failed to dispose of the
property.
We've still got one of the best
cemeteries we know Of" Wright
said. 1T is valued at $4,000, and
we'll sell it to the first buyer for
$1,000 and a penalty now total
ing $54. The taxes have been un-
paid since 1929"

DETROIT, June 13.-DetectiveS
concentrated their Detroit investi-
cation of the Lindberugh kidnapping
case today on Harry Fleisher, with
attempts to link the notirious Pur-
pie gangster to the ransome negotia-
tionS.
Convinced after hours of fruitless
questioning that Fleisher had moth
ing to do with the actual kidnap-
ing, the investigators are shaping
their inquiry in an effort to con-
meet him with at least one of the
notes sent Colonel Charles A. Lind
bergh.
So far, detectives are working on
two established facts-that Fleisher
was "in the east" and that he need
ed money badly.

made to the United States.

that Brigadier General Howard

where the Sharpe family lives,
would take up the question of rep

member of his constituency, re-

UTILITY SEEKS
TO SET LIMIT
ON ITS LOSSES
Compromise to Cost Not
More Than S55, 900, Plea
of Water Company.
RATE HEARING STARTS
Mayor EndeavorS to Keep
Concession for Those
Paying Low Levy.
BY DANIEL Nj. KIDNEY

Compromise rates, which would
not cost the indianapolis Water
Company more than a s55,0OO an
nual loss in revenue, is the objective
of the latest rate hearing, as out
lined before the public service COM
mission today by company attor-
neys.
Commissioner Harry K. Cuth-
bertSon is conducting the case.
Mayor Reginald H. Sullivan plead
ed for retention of the present COM
promise rate provision, so far as a
$4,000 saving to the city is
concerned.
He was joined by Walter Rother-
mel of the South Side Civic Clubs
in urging retention of the $108
minimum rate to small consumers.
Attorneys for large apartment
owners argued that they should not
have to bear the burden of the de-
creased rates by paying increases
provided in the compromise rates
of March 25.
Injunction Brings Hearing
One of their number, T. A.
Moynahan, has secured a court in
junction against the increases. 1t
was this which brought about the
hearing today on the company Pc
tition to restore old rates, make a
complete audit and appraisal and
grant increases.
Company representatives were
more subdued in presenting the
case than their petition sounded.
They are willing to compromise on
the $55,000 loss basis, which was
the basis of the previous compro-
mise.
They contend that to grant the
decrease without the increases
would mean a drop of $275,000
year in revenue. They want the
large consumers to bear the $780,
900 increase difference.
Or they would raise the minimum
to the small consumers and cut
apartment mouse COSCS.
Accountant On Stand
The utility put Harry Boggs, util-
ity accountant, on the stand to show
it already is suffering from the
depression. He testified that reve-
nues dropped $71,774 in 1881, as
compared to 1880. He testified that
the first five months of 1882 showed
a $55,268 decrease over the same
period in 1881, and the net income
of the company fell off SIP, 10
from April l, 1881, to March 81, 1882,
as compared with the previous SIM
liar period for 193031.
The hearing is expected to occupy
considerable time, although all for
mer evidence was stipulated by
agreement of attorneys. 1t is being
conducted in the house of rep
resentatives.

Idle Moneys Rush.
From the Philadelphia Evening Bulletin.

from tne Fnuaoelpnih GNeNiiB ouAetni,
In prosperous times money has plenty
OF work at high wages. 1t hires itself
out to finance expansion OF industrial
plants, to pay for labor and materials
entering into goods that are to be sold
on credit, to promote exports, to buy
machinery, to dam and bridge streams,
to build locomotives and cars. to fash.
ion steamships and skyscrapers. In
such periods It is independent and tells
its employer whe"c he gets of.
But when bad times come money
shares the troubles of labor. It loses
its job, or has to work at greatly re.
duced pay. Some Of the corporations
have had to say to the money repre-
sented by their bond issues: You're
flredl" meaning default on interest
wage it can get If it is absolutely sure
Of the capacity Of the employer to make
good.
That is why when Uncle Sam an
nounced that he had places for $780,
900, 900 beginning December is, $10,-
805 000, 900 stood in line to ask for the
jobs. There were $18 asking for every
job. With a guarantee of but three
fourths of l per cent for a year the
issue Of certificates was oversubscribed
16 times, and notes paying "a per
cent for four years were oversub-
scribed 19 times.
Not all this money expected to get
work. Lenders offer more than they
are really in position to advance be-
cause they know their commodity Is Q
drug on the market, and under the pro-
portionate allotment plan they can get
what they actually want only by over
subscribing. Still the tenders Of an
amount 50 Tremendously In excess Of
Government need are emphatic evi-
dence Of the plethora Of money, and Of
its urge to work for whatever It can
get rather than Lie idle.
This country obviously has financial
resources In superabundance to carry
on. Money Is ready and anxious for
commercial work as soon Is business
and industry can show reasonable
prospect Of insuring It's earning ca
pacity.
