Wall Street Sees Actual

NEW YORK, May 13.-(UP).
Actual business Improvement ra-

responsible for the sharp upturn
in stock and commodity prices.
Stocks this week were carried
up to levels of more than so per
cent above closing prices on March
8, the day before the banking
holiday was enforced.
Wall Street thinks business will
continue to improve as confidence
spreads and that confidence is
spreading due to wage increases
and commodity advances.
1t also believes that the stocks
in many groups are still too cheap
and that the market is in a real,
not false start.

leaders were hammered down

here regarding the scheduled at

against the embargo had been

Many farmers had refused to
consider joining the strike because
rising commodity prices encourag-

REPUBLICAN WILL BE
NAMED FOR FARLEY

WASHINGTON, May 13 (UP)
An outstanding Republican will
be selected by President Roose-
welt as member of the delcga-
ton he will send to the world
economic conference in London,
it was reliably reported last night.
At the same time the president,
in most emphatic terms, said he
would not attend the conference.
Reports here were that Mr..
Roosevelt, who was expected to
give consideration to the makeup
of the delegation over the week
end, would choose a Progresives
Republican for the past, rather
than one of the old guard con-
servatives.
In this connection the name of
Phillip LaFollette, former COVER
nor of Wisconsin, has bulked large
in the speculation.

MEANS AGAIN
UNFOLDS HIS
KIDNAP TALE
Sensational Testimony Is
Heard With Reservations
by U. S. Agents
BY HARRY FERGUSON
United Press Staff Correspondent

WASHINGTON, May IS. (UP)
The second instalment of that
hreath-taking serial-"Kidnapers
| Have COntacted'-was given to
a waiting world yesterday by its
author. CASTOR B. Means.
District supreme court, where
Means and Norman r. Whitaker
are on trial charged with conSpir-
ing to defraud Mrs. Evalvn Walsh
Mclean Of $4,000 on a promise
to return the Lindbergh baby, was
crowned again as Means continued
his testimony.
The throng, which included
skeptical agents who worked on
the Lindbergh case, came pre-
pared to hear a continuation OF
the sensational statements Means
made yesterday. He did not dis
appoint them. Four new charac-
tiers were introduced in his story
yesterday. United Press dispatches
from various sections of the coun-
try indicated three of the persons
he named are dead.
The fourth is an unidentified
baby. taken by the supposed kid
napers to Norfolk, Va, as a de-
coy. It was not the Lindbergh
baby Means said, although he did
not retract his statement of
Thursday that he was in touch
several times with men who had
the Lindbergh child.
Means statements yesterday in
cluded:
That Max Hassel and Max
Greenberg, "whisky runners" kid
mapped the baby and took it to a
New Jersey dug-out where they
stored whisky.
That the child was killed when
it fell from the arms of one of
the kidnapers when they were
preparing to move it to another
hide-out.
That Means saw and counted,
in Chicago, the $4,000 ransom
which DR.. J. F. (Jafsie) Condor
tossed over a cemetery wall to the
supposed kidnapers.
A United Press dispatch from
New York stated that Hassel and
Greenberg were the two beer rae
keteers who were slain at. the
Elizabeth Carteret hotel, Eliza
beth. N. j., on April IL.
Means testified he paid $4,000
to E. w. Aubinger, of Chicago,
described as a private investiga-
tor, to aid him in finding the
baby. Mrs. Aubinger told the
United Press in Chicago that her
husband died June 27,. 1882. She
said he had never done any detec-
tive work for Means, although he
had applied to him for loan at
one time. >,
The story raced on. Means said
the 100000 which Mrs. Mclean
gave to him to ransom the baby,
as well as the $4,000 which Con-
