OLD DELAWARE
HOUSE PASSES

DOVER, Del. G.N.SO. The
Delaware State House, historic
Landmark of the Colonial States,
will pass out of service soon,
giving place to modern build
ing.
A new capitol is now fast near
ing completion and will be fin
ished and ready for use by the
time the next regular session OF
the Delaware legislature con-
venes.
The original building is the
second oldest State House in the
country remaining in service.
That at Annapolis, Md, is one
of an earlier construction.
Since 1777 the Delaware house
of representatives has been meet
ing in the old structure. 1t has
been the scene of many important
sessions of that body, including
the meeting that approved the
Constitution of the United States.
The ancient building, facing
Dover Green, plot of ground laid
out by William Penn and since
maintained as a public park, was
erected in 1882 to be used as
courthouse for Kent county.
At the time the building was
erected, the legislature held its
sessions in New Castle. In 1777
the body voted to move the seat
of the State government to Dover
and later moved into the court
house in the Green.

 iginal ransom note left in the baby's crib. It instructed Condor tc go to the end of the Jerome aver Ie subway line and walked to a de. serted refreshment stand near by Here he would find another note under a rock. -
 Under this stone, Condon found a message which directed him to SC to 233rd street and Jerome avenue signed with the same symbol. Al Reich. the former pugilist aid oi Condon, drove to the designated ad. dress. The car was parked in the shadow of the Woodlawn cemetery wall. Condon paced the sidewalk.
 In few minutes he saw a man waving a handkerchief behind the picket fence of the cemetery. Con. don approached the signaler. The two had spoken only g few words before cemetery watchman ap. preached. The stranger vaulted the fence and disappeared.
 Shortly afterward he appeared again. The two men retreated te Van Cortlandt Park. Condon beg ged to be taken to the baby, but was told the child was on boat and that it would take six hours to reach it.
 The kidnaper agreed to send some object that would positively establish that he and his associates held the baby. These tokens. ac- cordir g to copyrighted story in the Bl'onx Home News, were two long safety pins used to fasten the baby's blankets when the infant was tucked in his crib.
 Following this meeting this not ice appeared in the Home News:
 "Baby is alive and well. Money is ready"
 Two days later, as if indicating some hitch in the negotiations. was this message:
 f "Money is ready. No cops, No se- cret service. No press. come alone like the last time. Please call"
 One day later a note came call ing for $50,00O ransom. saying that eight hours after the money was paid Colonel Lindbergh would be told where to find the baby.
 Condon's reply to this was an ac- ceptance with a protest:
 "I accept. Money is ready. You make it some sort of c. O. D. tram saction. Come. You know you can trust me-
 The kidnapers. however. would not change their stand. The terms finally were agreed upon by Colonel Lindbergh and Condon.
 Then, several days after the time had expired for the baby's return CQndon inserted this message in . New York newspaper:
 "What is wrong? Have you cross ed me? Better directions. please"
 This message continued to ap- pear for several days. It was in a morning newspaper to-day.

people 1t is sacred above repudia- ton. As taken by members of the Free State parliament. the oath fol- lows:
 "I do solemnly swear true faith and allegiance to the constitution of the Irish Free State as by law es- tablished and that I will be faithful to H. M. King George ". his heirs and successors by law. in virtue of common citizenship of Ireland with Great Britain and her adherence to and membership of the group of nations forming the British com monwealth of nations"
 De Valera and his followers have taken the oath for ten years with their tongues in their cheeks" :" They now propose to rip out the entire clause so that all Irish po- litical elements who have refused to seek office because of the oath may do SO.
 The crux of the approaching controversy over the oath is legal ist interpretation on whether or not the oath is mandatory in the 1921 treaty. There is also the nor al inviolateness of the oath, which could not be submitted to arbitra- tion as far as the British are con- cerned. Even if it were legally pos .sible to abolish the oath and re- main within the empire, they feel it would be morally impossible and inacceDtable.
