Partner
Case Awaiting The
Decision OF Court
Judge Hincks Must Decide
as to Liability Of Both
Partners. When Only
One Has Committed the
Criminal Offense-The
Confiscation OF Auto Is
Cause

Whether one partner must suffer
for the actions of another Is the
momentous question now confront
ing Judge Carroll c. Hincks of the
United States district court. HIS
decision Is expected to be handed
down within a week or so. Acc-
cording to legal authorities only
one previous case of this kind has
been found, that in the courts OF
Idaho; when II was ruled that the
innocent partner was without
rights to bid on property confiscat-
ed by the government as the result
of some misdeameanor on the part
of his associate.
There are several partners In
Waterbury who blame their busi :
ness "brothers" for the loss OF
equipment and automobiles used
without their permission or know

The unusual point of law was

THIS KIDNAPPED
BOY BELIEVED
TO BE KILLED

Niles, o., March 5-(UP)-Par-
entail hope held out stoutly to-day
against increasing fears Of author
tiles that Jimmy Dejute, Jr, IL
year-old schoolboy who was kid
mapped Wednesday by two men, had
been killed by his abductors. As
the third day of search started
without having exposed any known
word from the boys captors, police
became more alarmed by fears he
has been put to death.
The boys father and other
members of his family have con-
sistently expressed the conviction
Jimmy would be returned home
safely. Even his mother, who at
first was stricken by despair that
sine would never see her boy alive
has become more hopeful. This OPP
timism has led freely to the opin-
ion the father has been negotiat-
ing with the kidnapers and has
lessened the intensity of the search
Put he has firmly denied any deal
iGgs while refusing to discuss fully
his plans and hopes. Neighbors

wealthy contractor. had told them
he expected word from the abduc-
tors during the night but insofar
as could be learned he received

COUNT CZERN|N
DEAD At Sd

VIENNA. April G.N.S)-
Count Ottkar Czernin, formerly
foreign minister of the Austro-
Hungarian empire, died here to-
day of heart disease.
Count Czernin was so years
old. He was chiefly conspicuous
during the World War for his un-
ceaSing efforts to restore peace.
At the outbreak Of the war, as
minister to Bucharest, he at
tempted to persuade his govern
ment to pay any price necessary
to assure Rumanian support Of
the central powers. He failed,
but, for two years.. he succeeded
in keeping Rumania neutral.
Czernin succeeded Burian as
foreign minister in 1915, and i'm
mediately directed his efforts
toward ,persuading the German
emperor to conclude a peace
which would preserve Germany
and AuStria-Hungary as great
powers, even if it meant German
sacrifices in Alsace and Lorraine.
Count Czernin represented
Austria Hungary at the peace
negotiations of Brest-Litovsk from
December, 1917, to March, 1918.

H|GHPRA|SE

ROME, April S. QN.s0-Mon-
signor Celso Costantini, who
would probably have been made
a Cardinal long ago were he not
indispensable to the Pope or his
Chinese missions, has returned to
China after a brief vacation
which he mostly spent finishing
work on a book which has just
been published.
The volume is a contribution
to the study of social and religi-
Gus problems in the Far East.
Mcnsignor Costantini does not
deny that, to all who discount
the spiritual forces behind mis-
sionary work in China and the
indolnitable faith which supports
the missionaries, the idea of con-
verting any appreciable fraction
of 400,000,000 Chinese to Chris
tianity seems perfectly hopeless.
The Chinese, taken in the
mass, are sober, civil, hard-Work-
ing people, with a very clear idea
of the antiquity of their civiliZa-
ton and honest with the honesty

were the Ancient Romans, he de-

But today Keaton, in San

he considered an important point
in the argument over air travel

Without changing his express

Keaton declined to discuss a

said the difference between

over whether their sons should be
