Much interest is being mani

of the Montgomery County Civic
Federation; the meetings of the

Convention, both February 25,

They hope to learn the zeal

manner, as they feel themselves
bound to carry on with the road

If it be shown that the majority

Aeronautical leaders will meet
in washington Friday to review
the outstanding accomplish
ments in the field of aviation
for the year 1882 and to decide
the winner of the Collier

night the club will hold it's
third annual reception and
ball in honor of Americas dis

New willard Hotel. Admission

which will be hard for COM

CARRIED
RANSOM CASH
To K|DNAPERS

NEW YORK, Feb. 13 U.N.SO.
For three successive nights Col.
Charles A. Lindbergh, a large
sum of money in his possession,
remained in the home of his in
termediary, DR.. John F.. C"JafsieD
Condor, hoping with the fervor
of distracted father that in con-
tacting the kidnapers-at mo-
ment'S notice, he would be able to
effect the recovery of the alb
Quoted baby.
This hitherto unrevealed cpl
sode in the celebrated case was
disclosed today as a result of an
investigation by an International
News Service reporter.
1t occurred early last April when
Lindbergh, through Condor, turn
ed over $4,000 to a mysterious
go-between known as John" on
a trip to st. Raymond's Cemetery,
not far from the Condor home in
the Bronx.
Lindy Ignores Police
At that time Lindbergh had
virtually cut loose from the New
Jersey State Police and was di-
recting the cearch for his son in
his own way. 1t was represented
to Lindbergh by Condor that if
he came to his home it would
only be question of time before
the kidnapers were contacted be-
cause "Jafsie" claimed to be in
more or less constant touch with
them.
Lindbergh agreed. He went to
the Condor home with $4,000
in marked bills. He went alone.
Condor had told him the kid
napers wanted to deal with him
alone and were quite specific that
the authorities be in no way in
Volved in the negotiations.
At about midnight of the third
night of Lindbergh's vigil in the
Condor home a telephone call
was received there. The man on
the telephone told Lindbergh and
Condor to meet the kidnapers
at the cemetery in 20 minutes
and to bring the money"
Feared Double Cross
Twenty minutes was the time
specified so that Linbergh could
not double cross" the kidnapers
if he had any such intention,
which, at that stage, he had not.
The kidnaperS, or whoever ne
and Condor we're dealing with,
figured that 20 minutes was 100
short a tine to enable anybody
to put the police on their trail.
En- route to the cemetery Con-
don carried $4,000 of Lindberg's
money in a shoe box as he mad
been instructed. They went by
automobile, with Lindbergh at
the wheel. AS they pulled up to
the side of the cemetery figure,
muffled in heavy overcoat,
skunk past, glanced into the car
and hurried away.
Still following instructions, Con-
don left the car, the money under
his arm, and went to the far
side of the cemetery to the vicinity
of a hedge. Lindberg waited IN
the car.
Instructions False
"Jafsie" talked with John" and
demanded letter of instructions
as to where to find the baby.
After a talk concerning the baby
and the money to be paid for its
recovery, Condor returned to the
automobile. John" went to OBJ
tain the letter of instructions.
Condor told Lindbergh to take
$4,000 from the shoe box, that
he had whitfield the ransom down
to $4,000.
When John" returned Condor
went to him, gave him the $780,
900, and in return received a
sealed letter. The letter, it de-
veloped. gave false instructions
where the baby could be found.
The letter directed Lindbergh to
go to point near Buzzard's Bay,
on the New England Coast, but
search there proved fruitless.

"A SURVEY OF NEGRO NEWS
PAPERS IN THE UNITED STATES
by George James Fleming

Unlike the many other books | have
been commenting upon for the last
two and a half years. "A Survey Of
Negro Newspapers in the United
States" is not yet in print. So far as
/ know there are but two manus-
cripts in existence. The copy loaned to
me, for perusal, contains 108 neatly
typewriter pages; side Stitched;
cloth back with board sides. The ori-
ginal copy is on file in the Library of
the University of Wisconsin, being a
thesis submitted by G. j. Fleming. in
1881, for his degree Of Bachelor Of
Arts in Journalism.
l started compiling data on Mr..
Fleming during his school days and
at that time expressed a desire to
study his completed thesis. A little
later on it seemed probable that jam
es A. Jackson (U. S. Dept. Of Conn.,
would undertake the distribution of
this thesis for the Negro Newspapers
but this plan fell through, SO I was
informed by Mr.. Jackson Of curtail-
ment Of expenses in his department.
Mr.. Fleming very aptly, and anal
ytically, describes the history of Ne
gro journalism, with many biblio-
graphical references, and compares
the progress of individual papers,
publishers and editors from the year
1927 up to and including 1881. In
Mr.. Fleming's study it was unfort-

Perhaps 1 can best express my
thoughts on this little book by des-
cribing a true story in connection
Herewith. A few evenings ago / was
mentally and physically tired. During
the day everything seemed to have
gone wrong. Solace could not be found
in reading the PAPERS for everything
seemed tragic-wars, rumor of war;
murders; attempt to murder; SANDER
and libel; crime in all its varieties;
greed; lust. and envy. All these
things, and more, the papers were
full Of. No, solace could not be found
by reading the papers.
For six months. "The Fall of Eve"
had been on my bookshelf, unread.
The title intrigued me and wanting
my thoughts diverted I eagerly pick
ed it up and read it through.
Between the covers of this little
book the author has described all evil
all temptation, all misery, and their
antithesis-goodness, faith, love and
happiness-from the time that the
serpent tempted Eve in the garden Of
Eden, on down through the ages of
troubled existence.
You, too, will find solace in this
little book. Your troubles will seem to
vanish as you read Of the riddle of
life, and faith and love lead the way.
