 One Arrest Made.
 Rochester, N. Y., March 16.-- (UP)--Stanley Crandall, paroled kidnaper, about whom New Jersey police authorities inquired yester- day, was arrested here to-day af- ter an all night search.
 He was taken to police head quarters at once and questioned under the direction of Chief of Detectives John P. Mcdonald.
 A reporter for local newspaper entering McDonald's office, found Mcdonald and Crandall looking at map of the United States. It was suggested that Mcdonald was tracing .Crandall's movements since his release from prison year ago.
 Crandall was involved in the kidnapping several years ago of Vernon Alexanderson of Schnec- tady, son of a General Electric en- gineer.
 Police atetmpted to conceal the fact that Crandall had been ap- prehended. It was not announced immediately whether he would be returned to New Jersey or held here. No charges were placed against him.

to the premiership of Poland after the war he asked Walcott to be his minister of finance. They compromised with Wa1cott's ac- ceptance of a Polish decoration.
 walcott is 63, after Yale and year of foreign travel he was in the New York textile mills belong ing to his father. In 1907 he be- came an investment banker, ex. ploring the South American hinter- land at odd moments. He has been married twice and 8 widower. He retired from banking in 1918 to tour Belgium and Poland for the Rockefeller Foundation. He met Mir Hoover there.
 The senator is proud of the fact that he was one of the first in- vited by Mir Hoover to join the food administration in 1917. In 1929 he retired from active busi- ness and soon went into politics via the Connecticut state legislatures.
 It is related that his senatorial campaign speech in 1928 was ex- cIusively a 25-minute account of his friendship with MT Hoover then the republican nominee. It was a speech that satisfied.
 Walcott was elected despite the fact that he had forgotetn to att tend a luncheon given for the pur:: pose of getting him acquainted with the local leaders of half the states.

charged Fitzgerald with attempting to establish an oligarchy in Con- recticut. Fitzgerald last night re- piled to Goode, and among other things, classed him as political disease germ carrier"
 This morning Goode made . counter-attack, stating that his failure recently to get the nomina- ton of general registrar in the Elm City was due to "contemptible po- lltical tricks,' on the part of the. Fitzgerald faction there. The breach between the two factions of the democratic party over the see lection of a national committed man was considerably widened throughout the state to-day. 1l,i
 Tn Bridgeport Chairman Devine,. who is behind McNeif for reelec-. ton to the national committee, stated that the "old guard" is try-l ing to take from the younger group C good man and that the reason tor this Is that the Fitzgerald- Spellacy leaders see victory In 1882 and want to benefit by national patronage. "But they won't put McNeil out and they won't get na- tionai patronage" he declared em- phatically.
 In Wilhmantic last night, pr Dolan repeated his charges that the "old guard" had been disloyal to Smith in 1924 and again in 1928. He reiterated his charges that Smith literature which cost thous- ands of dollars to print was sold by the "old guardp in 1928 to a junk man for s2S.

in the Kidnapping in 1928 of ver- ner Alexanderson, son of Gen. eral Electric research engineer.
 Frank H. Berg, private detective once accused by Max Phillips of being concerned in a Kidnapping plot against him, was visited and questioned but was not conencted with the Lindbergh case in any way.
 The questions and answers of the morning press conference fol- low:
 Q--Has Fitzgerald Gleason angle developed anything of importance :?
 Ave have not received any official report as to the action the Newark and Jersey City police have taken as a result of the question: ing of Gleason and Fitzgerald.
 Q--Did Abraham Levenson, Philadelphia suitcase manufac- turer, visit the police authorities or the family at the Lindbergh estate yesterday? What if any in- formation did he surrender? A We have no knowledge of Abraham Levenson visiting the Lindbergh estate. He has not been in touch with the authorities Investigating this case and he is not known at police headquarters.
 CA morning tabloid today re- ported story about Q taxicab driver named Kenneth Schaefer of Easton, Pa, and described him as having visited Hopewell on March 8, under threat of three men and bea ring two nessa ges regarding the Kidnapping, one written and one oral. Is there any truth in this report? A-rollowing is state- ment of Kenneth Schaefer in an- swer to your inquiry.
 "At 7:45 D. m. on March 3 I picked up three fares in Easton who told me to drive to Fleming ton, N. J. When I reached Flem- ington they told me to stop and the two men who were in the rear

seat got out and walked back to a car which was parked about 100 feet in back of where I stopped. They got in this car and then the man in the front seat told me to drive ahead and the other car fol- lowed me. The man in my cab told me to drive to Hopewell and when we arrived he told me to stop. The other car pulled up and my fare got out, as did the two men in the other car. The. men who had rid den in the cab then told me to de- liver a message to Colonel Lind bergh or MT Breckenridge and not to fail unless I wanted to suffer the same thing that happened to Lindbergh. He then handed me a message and also gave me a verbal message, namely: Baby safe; with draw police March and 10. Di- rect communication Lindbergh phone. Call Spitale from Long, acre. Important
 "Then one of the men took out a gun and told me to drive down to the station at Hopewell and look for the News or Graphic reporter and tell them Tony Russo sent me. They also cautioned me not to fol- low them. I then went down to the station and inquired for the reporters and was told that they were down at Gebhardts. (Hotel.) ) I then went to Gebhardts and met one Rogers, of the News. and when I told him Tony Russo sent me, he said that the name was 9 key name. Rogers and two other men then took me to the Woodrow Will son hotel at New Brunswick, N. J., and held me there from about 10 D. m. till 1 Q. m., when a man named Val O'Farrell (head of a detective, bureau) came in and asked me what was in the message and when l refused he told me that he would be able to get into Colonel .Lindbergh's home with the message. We then all came back to Hopewell and q man named Conroy told me that 1t would be impossible to get to the Lindbergh home as Mr Brecken- ridge said I was there on the sixth, which I denied.
 '"val O'Farrell then took me to New York and tried to get in touch with Colonel Lindbergh but could not. stayed all night in New York and came back the next

late Monday and was com pleted Tuesday afternoon, without defense testimony being introduced.
 John Demarc0 awaits trial on a similar charge. Demarc0 and Hargraves were found with James in an abandoned gambling house near Y0ungs- town three days after the boy was dragged into a motor car in Niles while he was en- route to school.
 The state completed its case quickly. Jimmy, his father. q wealthy contractor, and several witnesses testified.
 There was no testimony indicat- ing that the elder Dejute had re- ceived any ransom demands.
 During the trial, however, offi- cers brought out that when De- Marco and Hargraves were arrest ed, Hargraves had replied to a question as to whether they ex- pected to collect money for the boy:
 "why do you think we kid- naped him."
 James was not harmed.
 The boy was found on secret tip" telephone to a county detec- tive.
 James was kidnapped only Q few hours after the infant son of Colonel Charles A. Lindbergh was seized at the Ayers Hopewell, N. J., estate.
 The case here added to the wave of intense Indignation and anx- iety which was sweeping the world with the news that Colonel Lind bergh's baby was kidnapped.
 Judge Griffith commented briefly after formally pronounceing, T sentence you to serve the balance of your life in the Ohio peniten- tiary."
 He said the main point in the crime was the intent behind it.
 "I am compelled to find that the Kidnapping was executed with the intent to extort money" he said.
 The judge cited evidence which he said led him to decide the ab- ductors had intended to demand ransom.
 "The defendant heard these things and made no attempt to deny them," he continued, speak, ing slowly and clearly. "There- fore the court must take them as true.
 "Kidnaping is the worst of all crimes. It is becoming far too common, An example must be made to discourage such things"
 Neither Jimmy nor his father were in the court room.
 Hargraves stood stiffly. After the judge completed his comments the prisoner smiled. He made no comment. He turned and walked back to his chair.
 Hargraves had pronounced but one word, the emphatic mo" with which he refused to comment on any "higher-ups" in the crime.

and Hargraves was captured.
 For three days evidence was presented in the case, a jury trial having been waived. When Judge Griffiths ap- peared in court this morning he asked Hargraves if there was anything he might say in connection with the charge of Kidnapping for extOrtion.
 ''No," the prisoner replied.
 ''I sentence you to serve the balance of your life in the Ohio penitentiary. Kidnapping is the worst of all crimes. It is becoming far too common. An example must be made to discourage such things" Judge Griffith said.
 Hargraves smiled.
 It was the maximum pen- alty under Ohio law.
 Jimmy was unharmed and commented he was lawfully happy" to get back home. He and his father were not in court.

THE FOOLS APOLOGY

Oh, here's to jingle and to rhyme,
The thrObbing pulse of summer
To vagrant voices in the wood
That chant our common brother
hood.
For prOsiness is an abuse
That in its nature lacks excuse;
For though our message empty be,
We yet may phrase it pleasantly.
Some books that you and I have
read
Leave very solmn truth unsaid;
And yet we travel on apace
Till "Finis" stares us in the face
AS children wander far away
Where woodland elves make holi-
day,
Their toys and books and games
forgot
Well, we are children, are we not?
And still our most persistent quest
Is some good fellows merry jest;
We travel many a weary mile
To capture an elusive smile,
So let us all devoutly bless
Him who invented foolishness!
Sometimes our brains drop out a
link;
we do not wish to think,
But search for some dear friendly
tree
And meath it ponder drowisly
AS one by one we count the sheep
That leap the fence 'twixt us and
sleep;
While bumble-bees amid the vines
