SENATORS MAP
TARIFF FIGHT

While Administration leaders
sought to pass the agriculture
appropriation bill, the Senate to-
day prepared for a new tariff
battle over the Democratic House
measure, which stripped President
Hoover of his rate-changing pow
erS.
The Democratic plan, adversely
reported by the Senate Finance
Committee five weeks ago, would
turn the tariff commission into
a fact-finding agency of Congress.
It would be empowered to recon-
mend rate changes, but Congress
would retain the power to accept
or reject them. In event Con-
gress failed to act within 60 days,
the new rates would go into ef-
feet by default.
President Hoover has opposed
the bill because it robbed him of
all power over rate changes.

Reward and Immunity
Plan to Recover.
Baby Outlined
BY WILLIAM RANDORF

News SerVice)

NEW YORK, March 4.-Charles
Francis Coe, wellknown writer
of gangster stories, today sug
geSted the zone and only way
in his opinion, that Col. Charles
A. Lindbergh can expect to gel
his kidnapped baby safely back
home.
The plan follows:
Colonel Lindbergh should
publicly offer a reward of $780,
900 equal to the sum demanded
in the ransom note left by the
kidnaperS), provided the miss
ing baby is found safely aban-
dOned at any point in the
United States.
"The reward would be made
payable in 30, so, or 80 days.
1t would be payable to anyone
who presented q piece Of the
baby'S garments, which the kid
naper could remove before
abandoning the child.
Colonel Lindbergh would
pledge his honor that payment
of the reward would be a pri-
vate transaction, with no danger
of criminal prosecution"
Coe said such wide publicity
had been given the kidnapping
that if the Lindbergh child was
left in a public spot, he would
be discovered and returned i'm
mediately by the finder. Coe
added:
81 am convinced that is the
only practical solution of this
amazing crime, as the kid
napers are too frightened by
this time to communicate in
any manner with the Lind
berghs."
Coe said he thought the child
was safe "if the police don't
catch up with the kidnapers.'
He continued:
"The band will be as happy
to get rid of that baby as
Colonel and Mrs. Lindbergh will
be to get him back. The Lind
bergh baby, right now, is what
gangsterS would term hot prop
erty.'
81 do not believe the kid
naperS are professionals. 1

FACTORY SALES
TAX XOUTL|NED

A 2A per cent manufacturers
sales tax, designed to raise be-
'ween 100000 and $625, ,OOO,-
600 a year, was overwhelmingly
adopted by the House Ways and
Means Committee today. Acting
Chairman Crisp said the new tax
increase bill may be completed
tomorrow.
Revision Of the tax laws to
strike a blow at tax selling
which drives stocks down at the
end of the year and brings in
nearly 100000, 900 a year to the
Treasury was recommended to
the House Ways and Means Com
mittee by its administrative sub
committee today.
The radical change in the law
was approved by Treasury ex-
pert.
The new language provides that
losses from sale or exchange of
stocks and bonds which are, or
are not, capital issues shall be
allowed only to the extent of
gains from sales or exchanges.

BURNS ADVISES
L|NDY To PAY

SARATOTA, Fla, March 4
'(IN.S0.-William J. Burns, fam
Gus detective and former chief
of the United States Secret
Service, today predicted an early
solution of the Lindbergh baby
kidnapping mystery and branded
the crime as one Of the most
despicable" in the history of the
country. He said:
''There is nothing for the
Lindberghs to do but pay the
ransom and get the baby back.
IL the baby is restored un-
harmed, the American people
might almost forgive the kid
napers, but if anything hap
pens to this celebrated child,
punishment of the crime will
be speedy and certain"
Asks Drast'c Laws
Burns was emphatic in advo.
eating passage of State and ma
tional laws making kidnapping a
capital offense, punishable by
death or by life imprisonment.
He expressed the hope that the
Lindbergh kidnapping would spur
Congress to take action along
this line.
In generalizing on the Lind.
bergh kidnapping, in view of his
long experience in crime detec-
ton, Burns made these obServa-
tons:
THAT drug addicts are the
perpetrators Of many Of the
kidnapings now sweeping the
nation.
2. That in kidnapings, such
as the Lindbergh case, rewards
should not be offered. It sug-
gests punishment and might
cause the kidnapers to become
panicky, to the detriment Of
the child.
8. That the motive for the
crime undoubtedly was money,
there being nothing to indicate
that revenge or fanaticSm
entered into it.

MUKDEN, March 4 QN.S0-
"It's just an old Chinese
custom"
This was the explanation ad-
vanced today by DR.. Chao Chin
Po, mayor of Mukden. for the
refusal of Henry Pu vi, deposed
"boy emperor" of China, to
undertake the presidency Of the
newly-created independent Man
churian state.
Chinese tradition, the doctor
explained, calls for the recipient
of such an honor to be approached
three times. On the third offer.
DR.. Chao Chin-Po explained, Pu
vi will accept.
Pu vi will be known as regent.
DR.. Chao said, but when the
appropriate moment comes he will
be elevated to emperor.
Pu vi, according to DR.. Chao
Chin-Po, will leave his retreat at
Port Arthur in a few days and
proceed to Tangkangtzu Hot
Springs. There the third offer
will be made on March z by
Ching Hui, chairman of the execu-
tive council of the new state.
Pu Yi's first act, according to
Chao Chin-Po, will be to change
the name of Manchuria to
Tatung, meaning Great Unity.

D. c. BABY CLUE
BLOWS UP

, Washington's latest clue to the
whereabouts of the Lindbergh
baby has proved to be false.
Lieut.. C. j. r. Weber, night
chief of detectives early today re-
ceived a telegram purporting to
tell where the baby could be
found in nearby Virginia. The
telegram was signed by R. w.
Graham.
Graham was interviewed by po-
lice later at Long Beach, CAL,
where he is a supervisor for a
transportation company and ad-
mitted that he had been inspired
by an unnamed "seereSs."
Virginia authorities in the
northern neck of the State failed
to find the estate described. The
missive was addressed to the
Georgetown Police, Georgetown,
Va" and read:
"CharIeS A. Lindbergh. Jr.,

first crime, probably because
unemployment has driven him
to seek funds.
ut doesn't look like q pro-
fesSiOnal job. There are too
many rich people for kidnapping
gangs to work on who wouldn't
attract attention. Professionals
would as soon attempt kidnap-
ing the President as stealing
a baby of the Lindberghs.
"It wasn't a gangSter crime
because gangSterS would walk
in with guns and take what
they wanted. The lack of
violence, the comparatively
small amount asked, and the
way the job was done indicates
the work Of nOviceS.

There must have been a
woman in the plot, so the child
could be taken care of prop
erly. I believe the blanket
found near the house was used
by the woman to wrap around
the baby'S head and stifle its
cries."

QUIZ BOY
On BABY TIP

Fred Sweeney, colored, 16, of
1246 Eighth st. N. W., was taken
to police headquarters today for
questioning after he attempted to
call Col. Charles A. Lindbergh's
house from a telephone pay sta
ton at, Ninth and N Streets
Northwest, early today.
The boy heard two men and
a woman discussing the kidnap-
ing last night in Deanwood and
decided they were the kidnapers.
This morning he asked the opera
tor how much it would cost to
get some information to Lind
bergh about his baby. The opera
tor replied:
eff you have any information
which may lead to the recovery
of that boy, it won't cost any
thing"
The operator then called police
who went to the phone booth,
took the boy to headquarters and
then released him after his story
had been investigated and found
a Pigment of the boys imagina-

SENATE SCANS
STOCK PROBE

The demand for a far-reaching
probe of the New York Stock
Exchange gained impetus in thS
Senate today, following a favor
able report made by the Banking
and Currency Committee upon
resolution of inquiry.
Brushing aside the Administra
ton plea for an investigation
confined merely to short selling,
the committee approved a reso
luton comforting wide authority
to dig into stock-exchange trans
actions.
The committee is empowered
under it's resolution to invesH
gate:
/. The status of all listed secur
tiles upon the exchange.
2. The value of such securities
and the practices under which
they are sold, bought, borrowed
and loaned.
3. The effect of such practices
upon interstate and foreign COM
merce, upon the operation of the
national banking system and the
Federal Reserve system, and upon
the market for United States
Government securities.
The fight against short sell
ing was likened to efforts to
blame witchcraft for ills of hu.
manity in the early days by
Prof. Joseph Stagg Lawrence, Of
New York, testifying for the
New York Stock Exchange before
the House Judiciary Committee
today.
He denied that decline in the
market is due to short selling.

JUDGE JANSON|US
RULES FOR M|NOT
BEAUTY OPERATOR
Says Mrs. Abbie Stenerson Is
Legal Secretary of Board
of Hairdressers

Application for writ of manda-
mus to compel Mrs. Abbie Stenerson
Of Minot to release records of the
North Dakota Board of Hairdressers
snd CoSmotologists to Mrs Mary
Cool of Fargo was denied in q me-
r,orandum decision handed down by
Judge Fred Jansonius in district
court here Wednesday.
The decision followed trial in
which Mrs. Cool attempted to prove
that she legally had been elected Sc
cretary of the board at meeting held
in Minot Aug. 10. The defense con-
tended that Mrs. Stenerson was duly
elected at a session held in Bismarck
July II.
The dispute grew out of the fact
that a change in the personnel of the
board switched the support of two out
Of three members from Mrs. Stenerson
to Mrs. Cool. Mrs. Clara Alexander,
Grand Forks, whose term of office
expired Aug. l. supported the candi-
dacy of Mrs. Stenerson. Her success
sor. Miss Mary Zimmerman of Man
CAN. favored Mrs. Cool.
Mrs. Cool testified that election of
officers was discussed at the July
meeting. She said Mrs. Alexander
was nominated for president and that
there was no second. Mrs. Cool also
said that as president she refused to
put the motion. which resulted in a
deadlock and that no further action
was taken.
Calls For Vote
Mrs. Stenerson and Mrs Alexander
testified that after Mrs. Cool refused
10 put the motion Mrs. Stenerson, as
vice president. called for vote.
According to their testimony. Mrs
Alexander was made president; Mrs.
Cool vice president; and Mrs. STEM
erscn, secretary, with Mrs Cool not
voting
At the Minot meeting, Miss Tim
norman and Mrs. Cool voted to cor
rect the minutes OH the grounds the
first election was illegal. They voted
TO install Mrs. Cool as secretary with
Mrs. Stenerson casting a dissenting
vote.
Under the law. the board establishes
the salary of the secretary with a
maximum fixed at maximum of
81. 200. The other members are paid
six dollars per day only when the
board is in session.
In handing down his decision Judge
Jansonius said, THE burden of proof
is on the plaintiff. and in my opinion
she has not sustained that burden.
While it is true that three may be
wrong and one right. there is no rea-
son for doubling the credibility of
any of the witnesses here. While the
evidence is in conflict, the burden of
