WORLD SHOCKED BY
OUTRAGEOUS CRIME
President Hoover Leads In Demanding That Hunt
For Guilty Parties Never Be Abandoned Until
They Are Brought To Punishment For Tragedy

TRENTON N. J., May 13. (UP)-Col. Charles
Augustus Lindbergh today followed the body OF his
slain son to its last resting place.
The tiny casket containing the mutilated body
of the worlds most famed baby, for whose life and
safety millions had prayed since the night of March
l, when it was stolen from its crib, carried from
the mOrgue and placed in a hearse
1t was bound for crematOrium, the crushed
body to be committed to ashes.
HOPEWELL, N. j., May 13. (UP)--New Jersey
authorities, backed by the mighty police power of
the federal government were apparently on the di-
rect trail of the Lindbergh kidnapers today.
Shortly after President Hoover had called on
the government heads to make the murder of the
baby "a live and nevertO-be-fOrgOtten case, it was
dramatically revealed that Colonel Lindbergh's ennis
saries had been in actual contact with the men be-
leved without question to be the kdnapers
The revelation came through DR.. John F. Con-
don, the "Jafse" who paid out $4,000 to the kid
napers and was dOuble-crOssed. Under examination
by authorities he disclosed that the men had sent as
"token" of Identification for Col. Charles A. Lind
bergh the sleeping suit they had taken from the kid
naped child.
The suit convinced Lindbergh the men had the
baby, and the money was paid although the childs
body then lying in the ransOaked Jersey woods.
Authorities at last however, definite
trail No longer hampered by the previous fear the
baby would be harmed, they started relentlessly on
the trail of those with whom Condor dealt.
They had as first clues the messages from the
gang to "Jafsie' and the knowledge of their where
abous on the night the money paid in the Bronx.
Condor and John Hughes Curtis, the Norfolk negO-
tiatOr, were expected to furnish other information
that would guide police to the killers now the object
of the most widespread hunt in the history of crime
Police finished questioning Condor and he left
Immediately for New York 1t was announced he

old Chinese nigh school girl.
The jury which convicted him
made no recommendation as to

forced Miss Lum into a clump of
bushes where he attacked her.

walking home from a party when
Young, a HaWaiian-Korean, ap-
peared, struck him, and seized the
girl. Hahn said Young was at the
party he and Miss Lum attended
and followed them when they left.
The law under which Young was
tried was enacted by the Hawaiian
legislature after an attack on Mrs.

LECALIZATI0N OF
BEER ASKED In
SENATE MEASURE

WASHINGTON, May 13.-U.P)-
Demands for legalized beer and
return to war time income tax
rates to balance the budget brought
opposing tax theories into open
conflict in the Senate today as that
body began debate on the $1,000,-
100000 revenue measure.
Chairman Smoot of the Senate
finance committee offered the bill
formally at noon with a warning
that every day of delay cost the
treasury $2000,000 in uncollected
taxes at the new high rates.
Senator CouZens, Republican,
Michigan, offered the amendment
to increase normal income tax
rates to 6 and IL per cent on the
first and second $4,000 of income,
respectively.
He would raise surtaxes to a
maximum of IS per cent on in
comes over 100000 and said his
proposed rates would raise $1,134,-
100000 or $3000OO,OOO more than
the rates in the bill.
The plea for beer came from
Senator Tydings, Democrat, Mary
land. He asked the Senate If it
was willing to burden honest men
with severe taxation while permit
ting an illicit industry to thrive
untaxed to the enrichment of beer
and liquor peddling racketeers.

HOPEWELL, N. j., May 13. U.P)
The forces of society were set
loose today in full fury to run down
the murdererS of the Lindbergh
baby, slain inhumanly almost with
in sight of the home from which
he was stolen March /.
And the first move of the law
was to question two negotiators who
have figured prominently in the
case-Dr. John F. Condor, the
"Jafsie of the want ads and John
H. Curtis, Norfolk boat manufac-
turer
Colonel Norman H. Schwartzkopf
announced that the two were to be
turned over to prosecuting authori-
ties today after state police, of
whom he is the commander, con-
cluded their questioning. The
colonel made it clear the two men
were not under arrest but were to
assist Prosecutor Erwin Marshall of
Mercer county in his investigation.
Moves of these and others at
tempting to find the kidnapers have
been unhampered by police up to
now-in accordance with requests
by the stricken father and mother
of the baby. 1t was believed that
police now would demand every
scrap of information as to identity

still stuck to the back of the skull.

when we examined the body
more closely, it appeared as if the
child had been thrown under the
bushes and a hurried attempt made
to cover it with leaves and grass.
There was a small piece of
clothing, dirty and rain soaked,
resting in the small of the back.
The spot where the body lay was
such a distance from the road that
Searchers would be unable to find
it unless they happened to go with

HEAT GETS BLAME
Naval Officials Take Pre-
cautions Against Repe-
titiOn Of S. ID. Tragedy.

SUNNYVALE, Calf, May 13.
U.P( - Attempts to moor the giant
naval airliner, Akron, to her mast
here were abandoned temporarily
today when 200 marines were un-
able to snub her into her high
dock.
Hot sun rays which expanded the
Akron's helium gave her so much
buoyancy the ground crews could
not control her.
After several fruitless attempts
to complete the tieup, Lieut.. Com.
Charles E. Rosendahl ordered all
casting lines pulled in and the
big silver ship scared into the skies
and headed towards San Francisco.
Rosendahl indicated in signals
to ground crews that the mooring
would be delayed until sundown
when the cooling atmosphere de-
creased the dirigible's lifting power.
1t was believed he was anxious
to avoid a possible repetition of the
tragedy at Camp Kearney, near
San Diego, where two sailors were
killed and a third miraculously
escaped death when the ship
bounced into the air."
The ship arrived over San Fran
cisco last midnight after an un-
eventful flight from San Diego.
She proceeded to her specially
built mooring mast at Sunnyvale
and cruised about until dawn when
mooring attempts started.
When the first ground force was
unable to haul the ship into her
rock, reinforcements were sum-
moned but their combined efforts
could not prevail against the
dirigible's buoyancy.
The Akron has encountered diff
ficulty since entering Texas on her
flight to the Pacific roast from
Lakehurst, N. j. She buffeted
electrical and sand storms In
Texas and was a day behind sched-
ule when she appeared over San
Diego.
The Camp Kearney tragedy
followed.
Thousands Of persons were here
all night and early today to watch
the navy's big battle wagon cut
through the dawn.

Her ground crew of $50 marines

Lindbergh baby live and Never
to-be-forgotten case"
The President. in brief, terse
statement, ordered the federal gov

until those criminals are implac-

The Presidents statement said:
Il have directed the law en-
forcement agencies and the several
secret services of the federal gov

irving at the White House for the
Friday meeting, said he had re-
layed the Presidents message to

DISTRICT TOLLS
CASES WILL BE
HEARD SATURDAY

Water toll troubles of the I'M
perial Irrigation district will find
their way into superior court to-
morrow morning when two in
junction suits, one directed against
the district and one directed by
the district against opposition
forces. will be heard.
In both suits temporary injunc-
tions have been issued. Tomor-
rows hearing will determine
whether permanent restraining Or
ders are TO be made.
One of the temporary injunc-
tions restrained T. D. Mccall,
Harry Stewart, Roy Westmorland,
John Manner, Charles Malan,
j. C. Mahan and SIS others named
under John Doe aliases, from in
terfering with checks, gates and
canals maintained by the district.
The other temporary INDUCTION,
issued at the request of Mrs. Lyle
j. Sessions and Harry B. Stewart,
restrained the district from re-
fusing stock water to ranchers,
even though past water tolls have
not been paid.
The suits grew out of the re-
fusal of a group of rancherS,
mostly in the north end, to pay
the emergency water toll levied by
the district board of directors.
The district seeks an injunction
TO prevent ranchers from break
ing the locks on checks and gates,
and appropriating water whicn
has been refused them because Of
non-payment of the assessments.
On the other hand, Mrs. Sessions
and Stewart, as her agent, seek an
injunction to force the district to
deliver stock water.
In the latter action it is the
contention of the plaintiffs that
the district cannot shut off the
stock water, but must take action
through the courts, since an un-
paid assessment is considered a
lien against the property.
