LONDON, April 5.-An import
ant break in the serach for kid
napers of the Lindbergh baby was
expected momentarily today with
resources of London's famous Scot
land Yard man hunters at the dis
posal Of Maj. Charles Schoeffel OF
the New Jersey state police.
The dramatic and mysterious ar
rival Of Major Schoeffel, and his
disappearance was cleared up
when it became known that the
New Jersey official had been in
conference with Scotland Yard
chiefs.
Major Schoeffel's Investigations
were understood to have turned to
Scotland, presumably toward inter-
viewing Mrs Taylor, mother OF the
Lindberghs nurse, Betty Cow, and
investigating the records of other
Lindbergh servants who came from
England.
Although there was no definite
indication that Major Schoeffel
had started north, the Daily
Sketch said he had left Scotland
Yard with two members of the
criminal Investigations department,
He was believed to have gone to
Birmingham enroute to Glasgow.

PHYSICIANS IN

SAN FRANCISCO, April 5. U.Rl-
The progress of medical science
was discussed at II clinical centers
today as more than 1000 delegates
to the American College of Physi-
clans opened the second day Of
their annual convention here.
Foremost among the topics
studied by the famous medical men
was control Of infantile paralysis.
DR.. Frederick Eberson, head of
Mount Zion hospital research de-
partment, who recently was ac-
claimed for his development of a
virus that fights the disease, was
to explain the process by which
the new medium was discovered.
DR.. Walter c. Alvarez. Mayo
clinic, Rochester, Mimi, speaking
of discoveries in the field of gastro-
intestinal physiology, declared that
more vacations for workers would
mean fewer hospital visits.
IF the public only realized the
strain on the digestive system
caused by overWork, worry and
nervous tension, these vacations
would be TAKEN" he said
Experiments are under way, he
added, which it is hoped will de-
wise better methods of overcoming
the corrosive action of gastric
juice. This juice is involved in the
formation of ulcers.

STATE CONTROLS
TRANSPORTATION
BY AUTO TRUCK

LOS ANGELES, April 5. U.P)-
The state railroad commission de-
cided today that it had the right
to regulate all motor transportation
service operating within the bound
aries of the state, even though
goods hauled might be interstate
in character
The decision, handed down after
a hearing conducted by Railroad
Commission Examiner Vincent Ken
nedy, was considered of great i'm
portance to the state since the con-
tention had been made that the
auto stage and truck transporta-
ton act did not apply to such
cases.
The action in question concerned
a complaint filed against Alex
Meyers, operator of the Western
Transportation company which
carries freight between Los Angeles
and the harbor.
Meyers contended that he was en-
gagged in Interstate and not intra-
state traffic and that, accordingly,
the railroad commission had no
authority in the case.
The fact that substantial
amount of commerce moved by the
defendant from the harbor to Los
Angeles was Interstate in character
was of no significance since his
operations were principally between
Los Angeles and Los Angels har-
Dor, the commissions ruling said.
The Meyers organization which
was operating without a certificate
of public necessity and convenience
was ordered to halt operations until
it received such a certificate.
A second important decision by
the commission granted permission
to passenger automobile busseS to
go over spur track crossings with
out the necessity of stopping.
The commissions action was TAX
en- with the understanding that
each crossing would be thoroughly
studied to determine that hazard
could be shown.

WASHINGTON, April 5. U.P-
The wrath of taxed business and
industry was gathering today
around the selective sales tax bill.
Anxious representatives of the Sc
lected sources of revenue were
clamoring for opportunities to ap-
pear in protest before the senate
finance committee.
Chairman Smoot said letters and
kilograms had been received from
Richard Whitney. president of the
New York stock exchange, who
wants to complain of the one
quarter of one per cent tax con-
templated for stock sales.

told the United Press that he would
summon a party conference Thurs
day to consider tax problems, the
committee hearings being tomor-
row.
Abraham Meyer will represent
the motion picture industry before
the committee in opposition to the
admissions tax. The American
Automobile association, the Ma
tional Automobile Chamber of
Commerce, representative of
match, jewerly, lumber and real
estate dealers have appealed for a
chance to present objections to
various levies.

'C0OTS' DAVIS
LIBERATED BY
FEDERAL ORDER

Millard K. "Coots' Davis was
free and back in Imperial Valley
today, released by order of the
federal court of appeals after al
most a year spent in the Imperial
and Los Angeles county jails dur
ing a battle over extradition to
Mexico TO face a charge of killing
William Presley in MeXicali, Feb
ruary 5, 1881.
Released yesterday afternoon,
Davis today visited the office CT
his attorney, Ernest R. Utley. il
company with his brother, Bob
Davis.
He plans to stay in Imperial
Valley, he said. Davis had little
else to say regarding his long i'm
prisonment.
Davis obtained his freedom only
after legal battle of record length,
taken through several federal
courts after the Unlved Stats COM
missioner in Los Angeles had
authorized flis extradition.
The battle finally was won when
word used in the Mexican indict-
ment was translated as homicide
instead of murder, and the federal
court decided extradition could not
be granted on such an indictment.
Davis wounded Presley during a
fight in MexlU,;li early in 1881
Presley did not die Immediately,
but was taken to the county hos
pital in Imperial county, and died
there March l6. Several days later
Davis was arrested.

HOLLYWOOD, April 5. U.H F.
j. Kulick, Chicago art appraised,
was a prisoner in his room all last
night after two bandits who brazen-
ly operated in the Roosevelt hotel
here bound and gagged him anc
robbed him of S700.
The robbery was not discovered
until this morning when Kulick
succeeded in getting aid by knock
ing the receiver from his room teie-
phone almost y hours after the
bandits left.
Kulick told police he was just en-
tering his room when the two men
appeared with revolverS and forced
him to take them inside where
they bound and gagged him and
then leisurely searched his effects.
In addition to the cash, he said,
they took a valuable watch.

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, April 5.
UR)-Sound and symmetrical,
a one pound baby boy, believed
to be the smallest child ever
born alive, carried forward a
stout fight for life here today.
And doctors gave the infant,
less than Ia inches long, his
doubled fists about as large as
his 6 foot fathers thumbnail,
an excellent chance to win.
The baby, the physicians said,
is fully developed.
Mr.. and Mrs. William st.
John, the parents, were caught
unprepared by the arrival,
which was two and one half
months earlier than expected.
Nestled in soft clothes, the
child slept today in cardboard
box for a crib. His mattress
was a nest of hot water bags.
The father is 18 years old,
the mother II. They have been
married about a year.
Last night, soon after the
baby's birth, reporters found
three strapping uncles and the
grandfather, sitting in the front
room of the couples home, gaz-
ing wonderingly at the card
board box and its tiny occupant.
How much does he weigh?"
the grandfather was asked.

One pound, to be exact" said

"And how long is he?" the
family was asked.

grandfather. Not very long, 1

"About IA inches" grinned
the uncle.
"All our children were born
big" said grandfather.
"Say, he's all right" came
back the uncle. Hes got a
lot of stuff"
He drew back the clothing
sheltering the tiny, puckered
face of the sleeper in the card
board box. The baby's fists
were tightly clenched.
"Say, he's going to give them
battle, all right" said an
uncle.
Hell probably live to lick
any of u.s."
And the doctor assured him
he was exactly right.
THE baby has the vitality"
he said. He's undernOurished,
but he can take some milk in
a day or SO. He may come out
all right"

EYES OF NATION
DIRECTED UPON
N. Y. PRIMARY
Contest For Democratic
Delegates Promises To
Be Warm.
BY RAYMOND CLAPPER
Omitted Press Staff Correspondent


WASHINGTON, April 5. U.P) -
Two unique primaries today ushered
in the active stage of the great
American game of selecting a presi-
dent
IN the largest state, New York,
and in the most independent state,
Wisconsin, both parties were select
ing convention delegates. These
were the first of the big April pri-
maries which will pretty well decide
how the presidential nominations
are to go-Illinois, Pennsylvania
and Massachusetts coming later in
the month.
New York-the great prize in both
parties, was to select its district
delegates today, go in each case.
Later at state conventions, the Re-
publicanS will select seven addition
al delegates at large and the Demo-
Gratis four
New York does not provide for
pledging its delegates but the Re-
F.! publicanS will be all for renomina-
ton of President Hoover. The DEM
ocrats are doubtful. Managers of
! Governor Franklin D. Roosevelt
claim more than half of the dele
gates will be personally friendly.
The chief of Tammany Hall, John
F. Curry, declared here last week
that he and his allies would control
the delegation and would prevent
it from pledging itself until the
convention meets in Chicago. In
any case, it is expected to vote as
unit.
Governor Roosevelt and his New
York rival. former Governor Smith,
are expected to be named delegates
at large later. The picture of RooSe-
velt going to Chicago with the
| greatest number of delegates but
without his own state and further
more being delegate in a group
bound under the unit rule to vote
for someone else is fantastic but
theoretically possible. Smith might
easily find himself in the same posi-
! ton.
| Contests In Wisconsin
In Wisconsin, both parties are
having contests. The Democratic
test again is between Roosevelt and
Smith. The state chairman is back
ing a Roosevelt slate. The national
committeeman is backing an un-
pledged slate which is understood
to be pro-Smith. Wisconsin has
26 votes in the Democratic conven-
ton.
The Republican fight is between
the La Toilette and the administra-
ton factions. An unpledged but
! pro-Hoover slate is in the field
against the La Toilette lineup which
is pledged to Senator George W.
| Norris of Nebraska. Senator Blaine,
(Rep) Wisconsin, is with this
group. Wisconsin has 81 votes in
the Republican convention and has
almost invariably cast them for
some insurgent leader as protest
gesture.
The delegate lineup among DEM
ocratic candidates thus far is Roose-
welt, 129; Murray, %; Reed, SO; un-

Ruth Judd Fires
Her Attorneys

PHOENIX, Ariz., April 5. UP
Paul Schenck of Los Angeles and
Herman LeWkoWitz and Joseph Ia
versack of Phoenix, the three at
torneys who defended Winnie Ruth
Judd in her murder trial, were mott
fled today that their services were
no longer wanted.
The notification came in a letter
from Mrs. Judd written in state
prison where she is awaiting exc
cution, and countersigned by her
husband, DR.. William C. Judd, now
a patient at Whipple Barracks, Ari-
zona, a veterans hospital.
The letter contained nothing
more than the bare notification Of
the attorneys release.
1t was learned, however, that DR..
Judd had said some weeks ago that
he was dissatisfied with Winnie's
lawyers tactics" citing particularly
their omission to advise him in ad-
vance of their movements in behalf
of his wife.
Though none of thers would coil
firm it, it was reported that four
Phoenix attorneys would take up
Mrs. Judd's appeal, now pending
before the state supreme court.
Mrs. Judd was convicted Of the
murder of Mrs. Agnes LIE Roi,
whom, with Miss Hedvig Samuel
son, she shot on the night of Octo-
Der l8.

WASHINGTON, April 5. (U.P) -
Senator Reed, (Rep) Pennsylvania,
is going to lead senate campaign
for the general sales tax which the
house rebelled against and defeated.
THE manufactures sales tax is
worth fighting for" Reed told the
United Press today "If the Demo-
Gratis will accept in the senate the
Crisp (sales taxi bill that was of
fered in the house, we Republicans
ought to be able to give them
enough votes to pass it. They could
logically do that. The Crisp bill
was a Democratic measure
Acting Chairman Crisp of the
ways and means committee was
among the Democratic leaders who
sponsored the sales tax in the
house. The rank and file of the
house Democrats turned against the
leaders on this issue and forced SUBJ
stitution of a program of special
excise and sales levies.
Hearings on the tax bill begin be-
fore the senate finance committee
tomorrow. Some leaders promise
that a fortnight will suffice for the
hearings. Others predict lengthy
hearings, protracted debates on the
floor and session of congress ex-
tending until September.
THE house required four months
for this BILL Reed commented.
How can we pass it in two?"
