Taken From Crib in Home
Peter Baldwin, 2, Missing
When Parents Return
From Theater.
By United Press

D CHtttU fIcSS
WILMINGTON, Cal, Nov. Ii
Two-year-old Peter Baldwin, son of
a prominent San Francisco engi-
neer, was believed by police to be
in the hands of kidnapers today.
Detectives announced that they
were pretty well satisfied" that the
small son of Mr.. and Mrs. D. F.
Baldwin was taken from his crib
some time last night when his par
ents were attending a motion pic
ture show. The child was alone in
the house.
Grandparents of the missing child
are reputedly wealthy and detec-
tiveS believed ransom demands
would be made on them.
The boys paternal grandmother
is Mrs. Mile E. Baldwin, san Fran
cisco, said to be a millionaire. His
maternal grandfather is Charles r
Rhodes, president and general
manager of the Viaux Bridge Com
pany. The father is general man
ager of the San Francisco Bridge
Company.
Two screened windows on the
front of the house were found I'M
latched, Mrs. Baldwin recalled hav-
ing unlocked one of them but did
not remember whether the other
was open.
A number of f1ngerprints were
found on the crib and on the door
of the nursery. They we're to be
compared with those of the boys
parents to determine their iden-
tity.
Mrs. Baldwin told police she left
home at GAS p. M, leaving the child
asleep in the crib.

$4,000 JOBS ON
ROADS IN SIGHT
Federal Aid May Give Indi-
ana 100000, Off,
CiaI States.

First grant of federal public works
funds for state road paving made
to Indiana today caused Chairman
James D. Adams, of the state high
way commission, to predict that the
original $1OO0O,OO0 paving program
may reach a grand total of
$28, O00,0 900.
In addition to this, a pick and
shovel program of state road widen
ing, now employing 10000 men from
relief rolls, may be expanded to care
for $4,000, he said.
The paving is being financed
through an outright grant of $10,-
100000 from federal road funds and
matching state funds with federal
public works funds on a 1910 basis.
Mr.. Adams made the latter pro-
posal on a recent trip to Washing
ton, when he offered to use $1,000,
900 in state funds for paving pur-
poses, if 100000 Would be donated
by the federal public works admin
iStration.
That his proposal was approved
was lndlcated today when the COM
mission was informed that $156, 400
had been allotted for the first of the
paving projects considered under
this plan of payment.
Mr.. Adams also outlined to the
federal officials the relief work plan
of road widening, and this, too, may
be aided by federal grants.
The plan, an original Indiana
idea, has been adopted by Illinois
with an $18,OOO,OOO appropriation
made to carry it out, Mr.. Adams
said.
we can use all the money the
federal government will give us for
either paving or pick and shovel
work." he declared. 1T looks now
as if, with state revenues from
gasoline tax based on past records,
we might have as much as $28 ,0OO,-
600 of joint federal and tsate funds
available for paving alone.
Our program will be pushed as
much as possible throughout the
winter and increase the minute that
spring returns"

FAvOR|TES IN
n. D. BATTLE
Irish Are Pinned to Spring
Major Grid Upset at
South Bend.
10000 TO SEE GAME
Indiana InvadeS Chicago,
Butler Faces Washington
at st. Louis.

While the rest of the world OBJ
served Armistice day, heavy firing
was renewed all along the football
front today.
The pigskin bombardment par
tticularly was heavy in the Hoosier
sector, where the second of three
classics involving the states big
three" grabbed the spotlight with
a tussle that ranked high on the
national calendar.
Notre Dame, with its back to the
wall, tackled Purdues great Boiler
maker machine at South Bend, and
the mild weather was expected to
bring out approximately 10000
blood-thirSty fans.
In preseason calculations, this
struggle was figured to have an i'm
portant bearing on the national
championship picture, but the men
of Anderson went into a tailspin at
the start of the season from which
their battling pilot has been unable
to right them.
Irish Due to Win
Off the record, Purdue is far and
away the favorite. But the hunch
players we're not so certain. AS a
result, the betting was reported
light.
Notre Dame figured to break loose
in any game. They have been
running wild in their last three
tits, gaining 754 yards from scrim-
mage, and yet have not crossed the
goal in any of the three tussles.
A touchdown break early in to-
days struggle might touch off the
spark that will send the Irish soar
ing to their former heights and give
the football season its major upset
Star Tackles Clash
Purdue entered today's struggle
warily, but confident. A highlight
of this afternoons struggle was to be
the line battle between Ed KrauSe
of Notre Dame and Captain Dutch
Fehring of Purdue, a1-Amerlca
tackle candidates.
Indiana university invaded the
Midway today to battle Coach Clark
ShaughneSsy's Chicago Maroons.
Both teams, with six sophomores in
the starting lineups, were seeking
their first Big Ten victory and the
outcome was regarded a tossup.
De Paw Gets Test
Butler invaded Washington of ST.
Louis and was given an even victory
chance, while De Paw battled to
retain it's unbeaten, unsecured on
record against Evansville.
In national headliners, Georgia
marched on Yale, Pennsylvania met
Ohio State, unbeaten Duquesne
hoped to upset Pittsburgh, Army
faced Harvard, Iowa was out to
check Michigan's Big Ten title
march, Illinois struggled with

TERROR MOB SHOWS
UP IN TERRE HAUTE
Escaped ConviCtS Believed
Seen by Farmer.

Posing as federal investigators,
three members of the gang of con-
victs that escaped from state prison
and since have terrorized the coun-
tryside, are believed to have been
in Terre Haute recently.
According to Captain Matt Leach
of the state police, the men spent
Tuesday night in a Terre Haute
rooming house. The next morning
they left, but were given a lift"
back to Terre Haute by Paul We'll
ton, an Avon farmer, when their
own car broke down.
The men returned to the room
ing house, but left fifteen minutes
later in car which was driven up
to the house. The men answered
the descriptions of Charles Makely,
Russell Clark and Edward Shouse.

Some people go to burlesque
shows six or seven times a week."
Mr.. Weintraub asserted.
"Why?" asked Deputy NRA Ad-
ministrator Sol RoSenblatt.
Their reasons for going are
their own private business" re-
torted Weintraub, while the cir
Gle of stout men, with watch
chains across their middles, smiled
approval.
Weintraub argued for a code to
pay the "burlecue" gal a mini
mum of $3.50 a week and the
principals $50.
Thomas j. Phillips, ex-burlesque
actor and president of the Bur-
lesque Artists Association, said
that the present wage scale is a
shame.
we hope that decency and
good morals can return to our
people through decent living
wages" he said, in advocating $50
q week for chorus girls and $50
q week for the stars.
