HAUPTMANN'S
CASE IS LOST.
APPEAL TAKEN
Review of Habeas Corpus
Denial Will Be Made
by Friday
NEW JERSEY READY
FOR AN EARLY TRIAL

NEW YORK, Oct. 17.-(UP).
Bruno Richard Hauptmann must
stand trial in New Jersey for the
murder of Charles A. Lindbergh,
Jr., Justice Ernest E. L. Hammer
of the Bronx supreme court ruled
last night.
The court refused to grant
Hauptmann a writ of habeas COR
pus, holding that the state of New
Jersey has sufficient evidence to
warrant his extradition.
Justice Hammer in a brief
statement rejected the petition.
He called for motions and At
torney James NJ. Fawcett asked
for a stay until Monday.
The stay was granted until Fri
day at a p. m.
Five minutes was required for
the session at which the judge an
nounced his ruling.
The decision of Justice Ham,
mer came after two days of hear
ings in which the most important
evidence of the case for and
against Hauptmann was brought
out in Bronx supreme court,
where the hearing took on the
aspects of major trial.
Hauptmann, a calm, almost SOL
emn figure, pitted his own word
and the word of his blonde wife,
Anna. against the evidence which
New Jersey presented in an effort
to show that he committed the
crime.
From the witness stand, Haupt-
mann placed his faith in simple
alibi-that he called for his wife
at the Bronx Bakery where she
worked, took her home and stayed
there on the night of the kidnap-
ing.
With desperate determination,
the German carpenter denied that
he had written the ransom notes,
that he had kidnapped the baby,
that he had murdered the baby,
or that ne knew anything aDouU
the crime.
Against this the State of New
JERSEY marshaled the testimony
of Albert S. Osborne, handwriting
expert, who opined that Haupt-
mann wrote the ransom notes;
the story of Willard Whited, a
neighbor of Col. Chas. A. Lind
bergh that he saw Hauptmann
near the Lindbergh home shortly
before the kidnapping; the ransom
money found in the prisoners
possession, and other circumstan-
tial evidence.
In his opinion, Justice Hammer
said:

The campaign for the fourth

Sunday. A few churches may not
be reached until the following
Sunday or at some early conven-

hour. The appeal will be made
for farm produce, livestock and
other products needed for taking
care of this institute through the

Executive Order Calls for Three Boards to Investigate
Work Load Assignments and Recommended Plans
for Control in Cotton Silk and Wool Mills
WASHrJGTON Oct ~ n

y
President Roosevelt last night
struck at the heart of the most
troublesome barriers to peace in
the mighty textile industry-the
"stretch out"
He issued four executive orders
creating, under the Textile Labor
Relations board, three boards I'M
der a common chairman to inves-
tigate work load assignments in
the cotton, silk and wool mills.
The boards are ordered to make
recommendations to the President
no later than January 1, 1885, for
a permanent plan for regulation
of the work load in the respective
industries.
These recommendations, one ex-
ecutive order states, unless some
good cause is shown to the con-
trary, shall include, among other
provisions, substantially the fol-
lowing principles:
1. No employer shall increase
the work assignments of any class
of work until he has secured au-
thorization therefore from the
district impartial chairman Zap
pointed by the Textile Work AS
signment board) of the district in
which the mill operates.
2. The district chairman, on pc
tition by the representative of
any employees affected, shall in
kyestigate the justifability of ex-
listing labor assignments, and if
he finds any assignment involves
excessive efforts by the workers,
shall require the employer to re-
duce such assignment.
8. Decisions of the district
chairman rendered under the
above provisions shall be subject
to appeal to the Textile Work AS
signment board, whose decision
shall be final.
Extension of work assignments
may not be ordered by the impair
tiai chairman until notice has
been served upon employees affect
ed and then only after six weeks
has elapsed since the filing by the
employer of petition setting out
his plans with the chairman and
representatives of the employees.
Meantime, in putting into et-
feet recommendations of the
Winant board of inquiry, the
President ordered that the present
work load be frozen until Feb. l,
1895, in. the cotton and silk tex
tile mills. The work load IN the
wool textile mills already IS fro
zen.
The work assignments boards
are to be composed of one repre-
sentative from industry, one
from the workers and an impair.
tial chairman. They will have full
power to investigate any work as,
signment that has been increased
since July 1, 1888, at any mill
and demand that the manufacture
err show reasons for having made
these increases.
If, after a hearing, the board
finds such assignment requires ex-
cessive effort, it may order reduc-
tons accordingly.
The President made his execu-
tive orders public without COM
ment.
Earlier in the day he had con-
ferred with Donald Richberg, al,
rector of the emergency industrial
committee; S. Clay Williams
chairman of the new NRA gov
erning board, and other recovery
leaders on the Winant board re-
port.
